      arm64: prevent regressions in compressed kernel image size when upgrading to binutils 2.27 · fd9dde6a
      Nick Desaulniers 提交于
      Upon upgrading to binutils 2.27, we found that our lz4 and gzip
      compressed kernel images were significantly larger, resulting is 10ms
      boot time regressions.
      
      As noted by Rahul:
      "aarch64 binaries uses RELA relocations, where each relocation entry
      includes an addend value. This is similar to x86_64.  On x86_64, the
      addend values are also stored at the relocation offset for relative
      relocations. This is an optimization: in the case where code does not
      need to be relocated, the loader can simply skip processing relative
      relocations.  In binutils-2.25, both bfd and gold linkers did this for
      x86_64, but only the gold linker did this for aarch64.  The kernel build
      here is using the bfd linker, which stored zeroes at the relocation
      offsets for relative relocations.  Since a set of zeroes compresses
      better than a set of non-zero addend values, this behavior was resulting
      in much better lz4 compression.
      
      The bfd linker in binutils-2.27 is now storing the actual addend values
      at the relocation offsets. The behavior is now consistent with what it
      does for x86_64 and what gold linker does for both architectures.  The
      change happened in this upstream commit:
      https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=1f56df9d0d5ad89806c24e71f296576d82344613
      Since a bunch of zeroes got replaced by non-zero addend values, we see
      the side effect of lz4 compressed image being a bit bigger.
      
      To get the old behavior from the bfd linker, "--no-apply-dynamic-relocs"
      flag can be used:
      $ LDFLAGS="--no-apply-dynamic-relocs" make
      With this flag, the compressed image size is back to what it was with
      binutils-2.25.
      
      If the kernel is using ASLR, there aren't additional runtime costs to
      --no-apply-dynamic-relocs, as the relocations will need to be applied
      again anyway after the kernel is relocated to a random address.
      
      If the kernel is not using ASLR, then presumably the current default
      behavior of the linker is better. Since the static linker performed the
      dynamic relocs, and the kernel is not moved to a different address at
      load time, it can skip applying the relocations all over again."
      
      Some measurements:
      
      $ ld -v
      GNU ld (binutils-2.25-f3d35cf6) 2.25.51.20141117

      -rw-r----- 1 ndesaulniers eng 16932466 Oct 26 12:06 Image.lz4-dtb
      
      By Siqi's measurement w/ gzip:
      binutils 2.27 with this patch (with --no-apply-dynamic-relocs):
      Image 41535488
      Image.gz 13404067
      
      binutils 2.27 without this patch (without --no-apply-dynamic-relocs):
      Image 41535488
      Image.gz 14125516
      
      Any compression scheme should be able to get better results from the
      longer runs of zeros, not just GZIP and LZ4.
      
      10ms boot time savings isn't anything to get excited about, but users of
      arm64+compression+bfd-2.27 should not have to pay a penalty for no
      runtime improvement.

      arm64: Implement arch-specific pte_access_permitted() · 6218f96c
      Catalin Marinas 提交于
      The generic pte_access_permitted() implementation only checks for
      pte_present() (together with the write permission where applicable).
      However, for both kernel ptes and PROT_NONE mappings pte_present() also
      returns true on arm64 even though such mappings are not user accessible.
      Additionally, arm64 now supports execute-only user permission
      (PROT_EXEC) which is implemented by clearing the PTE_USER bit.
      
      With this patch the arm64 implementation of pte_access_permitted()
      checks for the PTE_VALID and PTE_USER bits together with writable access
      if applicable.

      arm64: Update fault_info table with new exception types · 3f7c86b2
      Julien Thierry 提交于
      Based on: ARM Architecture Reference Manual, ARMv8 (DDI 0487B.b).
      
      ARMv8.1 introduces the optional feature ARMv8.1-TTHM which can trigger a
      new type of memory abort. This exception is triggered when hardware update
      of page table flags is not atomic in regards to other memory accesses.
      Replace the corresponding unknown entry with a more accurate one.
      
      Cf: Section D10.2.28 ESR_ELx, Exception Syndrome Register (p D10-2381),
      section D4.4.11 Restriction on memory types for hardware updates on page
      tables (p D4-2116 - D4-2117).
      
      ARMv8.2 does not add new exception types, however it is worth mentioning
      that when obligatory feature RAS (optional for ARMv8.{0,1}) is implemented,
      exceptions related to "Synchronous parity or ECC error on memory access,
      not on translation table walk" become reserved and should not occur.

      drivers/perf: Add support for ARMv8.2 Statistical Profiling Extension · d5d9696b
      Will Deacon 提交于
      The ARMv8.2 architecture introduces the optional Statistical Profiling
      Extension (SPE).
      
      SPE can be used to profile a population of operations in the CPU pipeline
      after instruction decode. These are either architected instructions (i.e.
      a dynamic instruction trace) or CPU-specific uops and the choice is fixed
      statically in the hardware and advertised to userspace via caps/. Sampling
      is controlled using a sampling interval, similar to a regular PMU counter,
      but also with an optional random perturbation to avoid falling into patterns
      where you continuously profile the same instruction in a hot loop.
      
      After each operation is decoded, the interval counter is decremented. When
      it hits zero, an operation is chosen for profiling and tracked within the
      pipeline until it retires. Along the way, information such as TLB lookups,
      cache misses, time spent to issue etc is captured in the form of a sample.
      The sample is then filtered according to certain criteria (e.g. load
      latency) that can be specified in the event config (described under
      format/) and, if the sample satisfies the filter, it is written out to
      memory as a record, otherwise it is discarded. Only one operation can
      be sampled at a time.
      
      The in-memory buffer is linear and virtually addressed, raising an
      interrupt when it fills up. The PMU driver handles these interrupts to
      give the appearance of a ring buffer, as expected by the AUX code.
      
      The in-memory trace-like format is self-describing (though not parseable
      in reverse) and written as a series of records, with each record
      corresponding to a sample and consisting of a sequence of packets. These
      packets are defined by the architecture, although some have CPU-specific
      fields for recording information specific to the microarchitecture.
      
      As a simple example, a record generated for a branch instruction may
      consist of the following packets:
      
        0 (Address) : Virtual PC of the branch instruction
        1 (Type)    : Conditional direct branch
        2 (Counter) : Number of cycles taken from Dispatch to Issue
        3 (Address) : Virtual branch target + condition flags
        4 (Counter) : Number of cycles taken from Dispatch to Complete
        5 (Events)  : Mispredicted as not-taken
        6 (END)     : End of record
      
      It is also possible to toggle properties such as timestamp packets in
      each record.
      
      This patch adds support for SPE in the form of a new perf driver.

      ACPI/IORT: Enable special index ITS group mappings for IORT nodes · 8c8df8dc
      Hanjun Guo 提交于
      IORT revision C introduced SMMUv3 and PMCG MSI support by adding
      specific mapping entries in the SMMUv3/PMCG subtables to retrieve
      the device ID and the ITS group it maps to for a given SMMUv3/PMCG
      IORT node.
      
      Introduce a mapping function (ie iort_get_id_mapping_index()), that
      for a given IORT node looks up if an ITS specific ID mapping entry
      exists and if so retrieve the corresponding mapping index in the IORT
      node mapping array.
      
      Since an ITS specific index mapping can be present for an IORT
      node that is not a leaf node (eg SMMUv3 - to describe its own
      ITS device ID) special handling is required for two steps mapping
      cases such as PCI/NamedComponent--->SMMUv3--->ITS because the SMMUv3
      ITS specific index mapping entry should be skipped to prevent the
      IORT API from considering the mapping entry as a regular mapping one.
      
      If we take the following IORT topology example:
      
      |----------------------|
      |  Root Complex Node   |
      |----------------------|
      |    map entry[x]      |
      |----------------------|
      |       id value       |
      | output_reference     |
      |---|------------------|
          |
          |   |----------------------|
          |-->|        SMMUv3        |
              |----------------------|
              |     SMMUv3 dev ID    |
              |     mapping index 0  |
              |----------------------|
              |      map entry[0]    |
              |----------------------|
              |       id value       |
              | output_reference-----------> ITS 1 (SMMU MSI domain)
              |----------------------|
              |      map entry[1]    |
              |----------------------|
              |       id value       |
              | output_reference-----------> ITS 2 (PCI MSI domain)
              |----------------------|
      
      where the SMMUv3 ITS specific mapping entry is index 0 and it
      represents the SMMUv3 ITS specific index mapping entry (describing its
      own ITS device ID), we need to skip that mapping entry while carrying
      out the Root Complex Node regular mappings to prevent erroneous
      translations.
      
      Reuse the iort_get_id_mapping_index() function to detect the ITS
      specific mapping index for a specific IORT node and skip it in the IORT
      mapping API (ie iort_node_map_id()) loop to prevent considering it a
      normal PCI/Named Component ID mapping entry.

      ACPI/IORT: Look up IORT node through struct fwnode_handle pointer · 0a71d8b9
      Hanjun Guo 提交于
      Current IORT code provides a function (ie iort_get_fwnode())
      which looks up a struct fwnode_handle pointer through a
      struct acpi_iort_node pointer for SMMU components but it
      lacks a function that implements the reverse look-up, namely
      struct fwnode_handle* -> struct acpi_iort_node*.
      
      Devices that are not IORT named components cannot be retrieved through
      their associated IORT named component scan interface because they just
      are not represented in the ACPI namespace; the reverse look-up is
      therefore required for all platform devices that represent IORT nodes
      (eg SMMUs) so that the struct acpi_iort_node* can be retrieved from the
      struct device->fwnode pointer.
