The implementation of macro inv_entry refers to its 'el' argument without the required leading backslash, which results in an undefined symbol 'el' to be passed into the kernel_entry macro rather than the index of the exception level as intended. This undefined symbol strangely enough does not result in build failures, although it is visible in vmlinux: $ nm -n vmlinux |head U el 0000000000000000 A _kernel_flags_le_hi32 0000000000000000 A _kernel_offset_le_hi32 0000000000000000 A _kernel_size_le_hi32 000000000000000a A _kernel_flags_le_lo32 ..... However, it does result in incorrect code being generated for invalid exceptions taken from EL0, since the argument check in kernel_entry assumes EL1 if its argument does not equal '0'.

In work_pending, we may skip work if the stacked SPSR value represents anything other than an EL0 context. We then immediately invoke the kernel_exit 0 macro as part of ret_to_user, assuming a return to EL0. This is somewhat confusing. We use work_pending as part of the ret_to_user/ret_fast_syscall state machine. We only use ret_fast_syscall in the return from an SVC issued from EL0. We use ret_to_user for return from EL0 exception handlers and also for return from ret_from_fork in the case the task was not a kernel thread (i.e. it is a user task). Thus in all cases the stacked SPSR value must represent an EL0 context, and the check is redundant. This patch removes it, along with the now unused no_work_pending label.

sysrq_handle_reboot() re-enables interrupts while on the irq stack. The irq_stack implementation wrongly assumed this would only ever happen via the softirq path, allowing it to update irq_count late, in do_softirq_own_stack(). This means if an irq occurs in sysrq_handle_reboot(), during emergency_restart() the stack will be corrupted, as irq_count wasn't updated. Lose the optimisation, and instead of moving the adding/subtracting of irq_count into irq_stack_entry/irq_stack_exit, remove it, and compare sp_el0 (struct thread_info) with sp & ~(THREAD_SIZE - 1). This tells us if we are on a task stack, if so, we can safely switch to the irq stack. Finally, remove do_softirq_own_stack(), we don't need it anymore.

The code for switching to irq_stack stores three pieces of information on the stack, fp+lr, as a fake stack frame (that lets us walk back onto the interrupted tasks stack frame), and the address of the struct pt_regs that contains the register values from kernel entry. (which dump_backtrace() will print in any stack trace). To reduce this, we store fp, and the pointer to the struct pt_regs. unwind_frame() can recognise this as the irq_stack dummy frame, (as it only appears at the top of the irq_stack), and use the struct pt_regs values to find the missing interrupted link-register.

On entry from el0, we save all the registers on the kernel stack, and restore them before returning. x29 remains unchanged when we call out to C code, which will store x29 as the frame-pointer on the stack.

Running with CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK=y can trigger a BUG with the new IRQ stack code: BUG: spinlock lockup suspected on CPU#1 This is due to the IRQ_STACK_TO_TASK_STACK macro incorrectly retrieving the task stack pointer stashed at the top of the IRQ stack. Sayeth James: | Yup, this is what is happening. Its an off-by-one due to broken | thinking about how the stack works. My broken thinking was: | | > top ------------ | > | dummy_lr | <- irq_stack_ptr | > ------------ | > | x29 | | > ------------ | > | x19 | <- irq_stack_ptr - 0x10 | > ------------ | > | xzr | | > ------------ | | But the stack-pointer is decreased before use. So it actually looks | like this: | | > ------------ | > | | <- irq_stack_ptr | > top ------------ | > | dummy_lr | | > ------------ | > | x29 | <- irq_stack_ptr - 0x10 | > ------------ | > | x19 | | > ------------ | > | xzr | <- irq_stack_ptr - 0x20 | > ------------ | | The value being used as the original stack is x29, which in all the | tests is sp but without the current frames data, hence there are no | missing frames in the output. | | Jungseok Lee picked it up with a 32bit user space because aarch32 | can't use x29, so it remains 0 forever. The fix he posted is correct. This patch fixes the macro and adds some of this wisdom to a comment, so that the layout of the IRQ stack is well understood.

entry.S is modified to switch to the per_cpu irq_stack during el{0,1}_irq. irq_count is used to detect recursive interrupts on the irq_stack, it is updated late by do_softirq_own_stack(), when called on the irq_stack, before __do_softirq() re-enables interrupts to process softirqs. do_softirq_own_stack() is added by this patch, but does not yet switch stack.

There is need for figuring out how to manage struct thread_info data when IRQ stack is introduced. struct thread_info information should be copied to IRQ stack under the current thread_info calculation logic whenever context switching is invoked. This is too expensive to keep supporting the approach. Instead, this patch pays attention to sp_el0 which is an unused scratch register in EL1 context. sp_el0 utilization not only simplifies the management, but also prevents text section size from being increased largely due to static allocated IRQ stack as removing masking operation using THREAD_SIZE in many places.

We have a micro-optimisation on the fast syscall return path where we take care to keep x0 live with the return value from the syscall so that we can avoid restoring it from the stack. The benefit of doing this is fairly suspect, since we will be restoring x1 from the stack anyway (which lives adjacent in the pt_regs structure) and the only additional cost is saving x0 back to pt_regs after the syscall handler, which could be seen as a poor man's prefetch. More importantly, this causes issues with the context tracking code. The ct_user_enter macro ends up branching into C code, which is free to use x0 as a scratch register and consequently leads to us returning junk back to userspace as the syscall return value. Rather than special case the context-tracking code, this patch removes the questionable optimisation entirely.

Currently we enable debug exceptions before reading ESR_EL1 in both el0_inv and el1_inv. If a debug exception is taken before we read ESR_EL1, the value will have been corrupted. As el*_inv is typically fatal, an intervening debug exception results in misleading debug information being logged to the console, but is not otherwise harmful. As with the other entry paths, we can use the ESR_EL1 value stashed earlier in the exception entry (in x25 for el0_sync{,_compat}, and x1 for el1_sync), giving us better error reporting in this case.

Commit 6c81fe79 ("arm64: enable context tracking") did not update el0_sp_pc to use ct_user_exit, but this appears to have been unintentional. In commit 6ab6463a ("arm64: adjust el0_sync so that a function can be called") we made x0 available, and in the return to userspace we call ct_user_enter in the kernel_exit macro. Due to this, we currently don't correctly inform RCU of the user->kernel transition, and may erroneously account for time spent in the kernel as if we were in an extended quiescent state when CONFIG_CONTEXT_TRACKING is enabled. As we do record the kernel->user transition, a userspace application making accesses from an unaligned stack pointer can demonstrate the imbalance, provoking the following warning: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 3660 at kernel/context_tracking.c:75 context_tracking_enter+0xd8/0xe4() Modules linked in: CPU: 2 PID: 3660 Comm: a.out Not tainted 4.1.0-rc7+ #8 Hardware name: ARM Juno development board (r0) (DT) Call trace: [<ffffffc000089914>] dump_backtrace+0x0/0x124 [<ffffffc000089a48>] show_stack+0x10/0x1c [<ffffffc0005b3cbc>] dump_stack+0x84/0xc8 [<ffffffc0000b3214>] warn_slowpath_common+0x98/0xd0 [<ffffffc0000b330c>] warn_slowpath_null+0x14/0x20 [<ffffffc00013ada4>] context_tracking_enter+0xd4/0xe4 [<ffffffc0005b534c>] preempt_schedule_irq+0xd4/0x114 [<ffffffc00008561c>] el1_preempt+0x4/0x28 [<ffffffc0001b8040>] exit_files+0x38/0x4c [<ffffffc0000b5b94>] do_exit+0x430/0x978 [<ffffffc0000b614c>] do_group_exit+0x40/0xd4 [<ffffffc0000c0208>] get_signal+0x23c/0x4f4 [<ffffffc0000890b4>] do_signal+0x1ac/0x518 [<ffffffc000089650>] do_notify_resume+0x5c/0x68 ---[ end trace 963c192600337066 ]--- This patch adds the missing ct_user_exit to the el0_sp_pc entry path, correcting the context tracking for this case.

If a syscall is entered without TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE set, then it goes on the fast path. It's then possible to have TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE added in the middle of the syscall, but ret_fast_syscall doesn't check this flag again. This causes a ptrace syscall-exit-stop to be missed. For instance, from a PTRACE_EVENT_FORK reported during do_fork, the tracer might resume with PTRACE_SYSCALL, setting TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE. Now the completion of the fork should have a syscall-exit-stop. Russell King fixed this on arm by re-checking _TIF_SYSCALL_WORK in the fast exit path. Do the same on arm64.

If tracer modifies a syscall number to -1, this traced system call should be skipped with a return value specified in x0. This patch implements this semantics. Please note: * syscall entry tracing and syscall exit tracing (ftrace tracepoint and audit) are always executed, if enabled, even when skipping a system call (that is, -1). In this way, we can avoid a potential bug where audit_syscall_entry() might be called without audit_syscall_exit() at the previous system call being called, that would cause OOPs in audit_syscall_entry().

The push/pop instructions can be suboptimal when saving/restoring large amounts of data to/from the stack, for example on entry/exit from the kernel. This is because: (1) They act on descending addresses (i.e. the newly decremented sp), which may defeat some hardware prefetchers (2) They introduce an implicit dependency between each instruction, as the sp has to be updated in order to resolve the address of the next access. This patch removes the push/pop instructions from our kernel entry/exit macros in favour of ldp/stp plus offset. Signed-off-by: NWill Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

When returning from a debug exception taken from EL1, we unmask debug exceptions after handling the exception. This is crucial for debug exceptions taken from EL0, so that any kernel work on the ret_to_user path can be debugged by kgdb. However, when returning back to EL1 the only thing left to do is to restore the original register state before the exception return. If single-step has been enabled by the debug exception handler, we will get stuck in an infinite debug exception loop, since we will take the step exception as soon as we unmask debug exceptions. This patch avoids unmasking debug exceptions on the debug exception return path when the exception was taken from EL1.

Make calls to ct_user_enter when the kernel is exited and ct_user_exit when the kernel is entered (in el0_da, el0_ia, el0_svc, el0_irq and all of the "error" paths). These macros expand to function calls which will only work properly if el0_sync and related code has been rearranged (in a previous patch of this series). The calls to ct_user_exit are made after hw debugging has been enabled (enable_dbg_and_irq). The call to ct_user_enter is made at the beginning of the kernel_exit macro. This patch is based on earlier work by Kevin Hilman. Save/restore optimizations were also done by Kevin.

To implement the context tracker properly on arm64, a function call needs to be made after debugging and interrupts are turned on, but before the lr is changed to point to ret_to_user(). If the function call is made after the lr is changed the function will not return to the correct place. For similar reasons, defer the setting of x0 so that it doesn't need to be saved around the function call (save far_el1 in x26 temporarily instead).

The value of ESR has been stored into x1, and should be directly pass to do_sp_pc_abort function, "MOV x1, x25" is an extra operation and do_sp_pc_abort will get the wrong value of ESR.

As done in arm, this change makes it easy to confirm we invoke syscall related hooks, including syscall tracepoint, audit and seccomp which would be implemented later, in correct order. That is, undoing operations in the opposite order on exit that they were done on entry.

Since mdscr_el1 is part of the debug register group, it is highly likely to be trapped by a hypervisor to prevent virtual machines from debugging (buggering?) each other. Unfortunately, this absolutely destroys our performance, since we access the register on many of our low-level fault handling paths to keep track of the various debug state machines. This patch removes our dependency on mdscr_el1 in the case that debugging is not being used. More specifically we: - Use TIF_SINGLESTEP to indicate that a task is stepping at EL0 and avoid disabling step in the MDSCR when we don't need to. MDSCR_EL1.SS handling is moved to kernel_entry, when trapping from userspace. - Ensure debug exceptions are re-enabled on *all* exception entry paths, even the debug exception handling path (where we re-enable exceptions after invoking the handler). Since we can now rely on MDSCR_EL1.SS being cleared by the entry code, exception handlers can usually enable debug immediately before enabling interrupts. - Remove all debug exception unmasking from ret_to_user and el1_preempt, since we will never get here with debug exceptions masked. This results in a slight change to kernel debug behaviour, where we now step into interrupt handlers and data aborts from EL1 when debugging the kernel, which is actually a useful thing to do. A side-effect of this is that it *does* potentially prevent stepping off {break,watch}points when there is a high-frequency interrupt source (e.g. a timer), so a debugger would need to use either breakpoints or manually disable interrupts to get around this issue. With this patch applied, guest performance is restored under KVM when debug register accesses are trapped (and we get a measurable performance increase on the host on Cortex-A57 too).

If a task gets scheduled out and back in again and nothing has touched its FPSIMD state in the mean time, there is really no reason to reload it from memory. Similarly, repeated calls to kernel_neon_begin() and kernel_neon_end() will preserve and restore the FPSIMD state every time. This patch defers the FPSIMD state restore to the last possible moment, i.e., right before the task returns to userland. If a task does not return to userland at all (for any reason), the existing FPSIMD state is preserved and may be reused by the owning task if it gets scheduled in again on the same CPU. This patch adds two more functions to abstract away from straight FPSIMD register file saves and restores: - fpsimd_restore_current_state -> ensure current's FPSIMD state is loaded - fpsimd_flush_task_state -> invalidate live copies of a task's FPSIMD state Signed-off-by: NArd Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org>

Commit f27dde8d (sched: Add NEED_RESCHED to the preempt_count) introduced the use of bit 31 in preempt_count for obscure scheduling purposes. This causes interrupts taken from EL0 to hit the (open coded) BUG when this flag is flipped while handling the interrupt (we compare the values before and after, and kill the kernel if they are different). The fix is to stop messing with the preempt count entirely, as this is already being dealt with in the generic code (irq_enter/irq_exit). Tested on a dual A53 FPGA running cyclictest.

preempt_count is defined as an int. Oddly enough, we access it as a 64bit value. Things become interesting when running a BE kernel, and looking at the current CPU number, which is stored as an int next to preempt_count. Like in a per-cpu interrupt handler, for example... Using a 32bit access fixes the issue for good. Cc: Matthew Leach <matthew.leach@arm.com> Signed-off-by: NMarc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com> Signed-off-by: NCatalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

TCR.TBI0 can be used to cause hardware address translation to ignore the top byte of userspace virtual addresses. Whilst not especially useful in standard C programs, this can be used by JITs to `tag' pointers with various pieces of metadata. This patch enables this bit for AArch64 Linux, and adds a new file to Documentation/arm64/ which describes some potential caveats when using tagged virtual addresses.
