      arm64: use PSR_AA32 definitions · d64567f6
      Mark Rutland 提交于
      Some code cares about the SPSR_ELx format for exceptions taken from
      AArch32 to inspect or manipulate the SPSR_ELx value, which is already in
      the SPSR_ELx format, and not in the AArch32 PSR format.
      
      To separate these from cases where we care about the AArch32 PSR format,
      migrate these cases to use the PSR_AA32_* definitions rather than
      COMPAT_PSR_*.
      
      There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

      arm64: signal: Report signal frame size to userspace via auxv · 94b07c1f
      Dave Martin 提交于
      Stateful CPU architecture extensions may require the signal frame
      to grow to a size that exceeds the arch's MINSIGSTKSZ #define.
      However, changing this #define is an ABI break.
      
      To allow userspace the option of determining the signal frame size
      in a more forwards-compatible way, this patch adds a new auxv entry
      tagged with AT_MINSIGSTKSZ, which provides the maximum signal frame
      size that the process can observe during its lifetime.
      
      If AT_MINSIGSTKSZ is absent from the aux vector, the caller can
      assume that the MINSIGSTKSZ #define is sufficient.  This allows for
      a consistent interface with older kernels that do not provide
      AT_MINSIGSTKSZ.
      
      The idea is that libc could expose this via sysconf() or some
      similar mechanism.
      
      There is deliberately no AT_SIGSTKSZ.  The kernel knows nothing
      about userspace's own stack overheads and should not pretend to
      know.
      
      For arm64:
      
      The primary motivation for this interface is the Scalable Vector
      Extension, which can require at least 4KB or so of extra space
      in the signal frame for the largest hardware implementations.
      
      To determine the correct value, a "Christmas tree" mode (via the
      add_all argument) is added to setup_sigframe_layout(), to simulate
      addition of all possible records to the signal frame at maximum
      possible size.
      
      If this procedure goes wrong somehow, resulting in a stupidly large
      frame layout and hence failure of sigframe_alloc() to allocate a
      record to the frame, then this is indicative of a kernel bug.  In
      this case, we WARN() and no attempt is made to populate
      AT_MINSIGSTKSZ for userspace.
      
      For arm64 SVE:
      
      The SVE context block in the signal frame needs to be considered
      too when computing the maximum possible signal frame size.
      
      Because the size of this block depends on the vector length, this
      patch computes the size based not on the thread's current vector
      length but instead on the maximum possible vector length: this
      determines the maximum size of SVE context block that can be
      observed in any signal frame for the lifetime of the process.

      arm64/sve: Move sve_pffr() to fpsimd.h and make inline · 9a6e5948
      Dave Martin 提交于
      In order to make sve_save_state()/sve_load_state() more easily
      reusable and to get rid of a potential branch on context switch
      critical paths, this patch makes sve_pffr() inline and moves it to
      fpsimd.h.
      
      <asm/processor.h> must be included in fpsimd.h in order to make
      this work, and this creates an #include cycle that is tricky to
      avoid without modifying core code, due to the way the PR_SVE_*()
      prctl helpers are included in the core prctl implementation.
      
      Instead of breaking the cycle, this patch defers inclusion of
      <asm/fpsimd.h> in <asm/processor.h> until the point where it is
      actually needed: i.e., immediately before the prctl definitions.

      arm64/sve: Move read_zcr_features() out of cpufeature.h · 31dc52b3
      Dave Martin 提交于
      Having read_zcr_features() inline in cpufeature.h results in that
      header requiring #includes which make it hard to include

      fpsimd.c, compiled conditionally if CONFIG_ARM64_SVE=y.
      
      This allows some SVE-related #includes to be dropped from
      cpufeature.h, which will ease future maintenance.
      
      A couple of missing #includes of <asm/fpsimd.h> are exposed by this

      arm64: fpsimd: Eliminate task->mm checks · df3fb968
      Dave Martin 提交于
      Currently the FPSIMD handling code uses the condition task->mm ==
      NULL as a hint that task has no FPSIMD register context.
      
      The ->mm check is only there to filter out tasks that cannot
      possibly have FPSIMD context loaded, for optimisation purposes.
      Also, TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE must always be checked anyway before
      saving FPSIMD context back to memory.  For these reasons, the ->mm
      checks are not useful, providing that TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE is
      maintained in a consistent way for all threads.
      
      The context switch logic is already deliberately optimised to defer
      reloads of the regs until ret_to_user (or sigreturn as a special
      case), and save them only if they have been previously loaded.
      These paths are the only places where the wrong_task and wrong_cpu
      conditions can be made false, by calling fpsimd_bind_task_to_cpu().
      Kernel threads by definition never reach these paths.  As a result,
      the wrong_task and wrong_cpu tests in fpsimd_thread_switch() will
      always yield true for kernel threads.
      
      This patch removes the redundant checks and special-case code,
      ensuring that TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE is set whenever a kernel thread
      is scheduled in, and ensures that this flag is set for the init
      task.  The fpsimd_flush_task_state() call already present in
      copy_thread() ensures the same for any new task.
      
      With TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE always set for kernel threads, this patch
      ensures that no extra context save work is added for kernel
      threads, and eliminates the redundant context saving that may
      currently occur for kernel threads that have acquired an mm via
      use_mm().

      arm64: uaccess: Fix omissions from usercopy whitelist · 65896545
      Dave Martin 提交于
      When the hardend usercopy support was added for arm64, it was
      concluded that all cases of usercopy into and out of thread_struct
      were statically sized and so didn't require explicit whitelisting
      of the appropriate fields in thread_struct.
      
      Testing with usercopy hardening enabled has revealed that this is
      not the case for certain ptrace regset manipulation calls on arm64.
      This occurs because the sizes of usercopies associated with the
      regset API are dynamic by construction, and because arm64 does not
      always stage such copies via the stack: indeed the regset API is
      designed to avoid the need for that by adding some bounds checking.
      
      This is currently believed to affect only the fpsimd and TLS
      registers.
      
      Because the whitelisted fields in thread_struct must be contiguous,
      this patch groups them together in a nested struct.  It is also
      necessary to be able to determine the location and size of that
      struct, so rather than making the struct anonymous (which would
      save on edits elsewhere) or adding an anonymous union containing
      named and unnamed instances of the same struct (gross), this patch
      gives the struct a name and makes the necessary edits to code that
      references it (noisy but simple).
      
      Care is needed to ensure that the new struct does not contain
      padding (which the usercopy hardening would fail to protect).
      
      For this reason, the presence of tp2_value is made unconditional,
      since a padding field would be needed there in any case.  This pads
      up to the 16-byte alignment required by struct user_fpsimd_state.

      arm64: fpsimd: Split cpu field out from struct fpsimd_state · 20b85472
      Dave Martin 提交于
      In preparation for using a common representation of the FPSIMD
      state for tasks and KVM vcpus, this patch separates out the "cpu"
      field that is used to track the cpu on which the state was most
      recently loaded.
      
      This will allow common code to operate on task and vcpu contexts
      without requiring the cpu field to be stored at the same offset
      from the FPSIMD register data in both cases.  This should avoid the
      need for messing with the definition of those parts of struct
      vcpu_arch that are exposed in the KVM user ABI.
      
      The resulting change is also convenient for grouping and defining
      the set of thread_struct fields that are supposed to be accessible
      to copy_{to,from}_user(), which includes user_fpsimd_state but
      should exclude the cpu field.  This patch does not amend the
      usercopy whitelist to match: that will be addressed in a subsequent
      patch.

      arm64: Make USER_DS an inclusive limit · 51369e39
      Robin Murphy 提交于
      Currently, USER_DS represents an exclusive limit while KERNEL_DS is
      inclusive. In order to do some clever trickery for speculation-safe
      masking, we need them both to behave equivalently - there aren't enough
      bits to make KERNEL_DS exclusive, so we have precisely one option. This
      also happens to correct a longstanding false negative for a range
      ending on the very top byte of kernel memory.
      
      Mark Rutland points out that we've actually got the semantics of
      addresses vs. segments muddled up in most of the places we need to
      amend, so shuffle the {USER,KERNEL}_DS definitions around such that we
      can correct those properly instead of just pasting "-1"s everywhere.

      arm64: kernel: Prepare for a DISR user · 68ddbf09
      James Morse 提交于
      KVM would like to consume any pending SError (or RAS error) after guest
      exit. Today it has to unmask SError and use dsb+isb to synchronise the
      CPU. With the RAS extensions we can use ESB to synchronise any pending
      SError.
      
      Add the necessary macros to allow DISR to be read and converted to an
      ESR.
      
      We clear the DISR register when we enable the RAS cpufeature, and the
      kernel has not executed any ESB instructions. Any value we find in DISR
      must have belonged to firmware. Executing an ESB instruction is the
      only way to update DISR, so we can expect firmware to have handled
      any deferred SError. By the same logic we clear DISR in the idle path.

      Although these prctls resemble instruction set features in the SVE
      architecture, they provide additional control: the vector length
      inheritance mode is Linux-specific and nothing to do with the
      architecture, and the architecture does not permit EL0 to set its

      arm64/sve: Core task context handling · bc0ee476
      Dave Martin 提交于
      This patch adds the core support for switching and managing the SVE
      architectural state of user tasks.
      
      Calls to the existing FPSIMD low-level save/restore functions are
      factored out as new functions task_fpsimd_{save,load}(), since SVE
      now dynamically may or may not need to be handled at these points
      depending on the kernel configuration, hardware features discovered
      at boot, and the runtime state of the task.  To make these
      decisions as fast as possible, const cpucaps are used where
      feasible, via the system_supports_sve() helper.
      
      The SVE registers are only tracked for threads that have explicitly
      used SVE, indicated by the new thread flag TIF_SVE.  Otherwise, the
      FPSIMD view of the architectural state is stored in
      thread.fpsimd_state as usual.
      
      When in use, the SVE registers are not stored directly in
      thread_struct due to their potentially large and variable size.
      Because the task_struct slab allocator must be configured very
      early during kernel boot, it is also tricky to configure it
      correctly to match the maximum vector length provided by the
      hardware, since this depends on examining secondary CPUs as well as
      the primary.  Instead, a pointer sve_state in thread_struct points
      to a dynamically allocated buffer containing the SVE register data,
      and code is added to allocate and free this buffer at appropriate
      times.
      
      TIF_SVE is set when taking an SVE access trap from userspace, if
      suitable hardware support has been detected.  This enables SVE for
      the thread: a subsequent return to userspace will disable the trap
      accordingly.  If such a trap is taken without sufficient system-
      wide hardware support, SIGILL is sent to the thread instead as if
      an undefined instruction had been executed: this may happen if
      userspace tries to use SVE in a system where not all CPUs support
      it for example.
      
      The kernel will clear TIF_SVE and disable SVE for the thread
      whenever an explicit syscall is made by userspace.  For backwards
      compatibility reasons and conformance with the spirit of the base
      AArch64 procedure call standard, the subset of the SVE register
      state that aliases the FPSIMD registers is still preserved across a
      syscall even if this happens.  The remainder of the SVE register
      state logically becomes zero at syscall entry, though the actual
      zeroing work is currently deferred until the thread next tries to
      use SVE, causing another trap to the kernel.  This implementation
      is suboptimal: in the future, the fastpath case may be optimised
      to zero the registers in-place and leave SVE enabled for the task,
      where beneficial.
      
      TIF_SVE is also cleared in the following slowpath cases, which are
      taken as reasonable hints that the task may no longer use SVE:
       * exec
       * fork and clone
      
      Code is added to sync data between thread.fpsimd_state and
      thread.sve_state whenever enabling/disabling SVE, in a manner
      consistent with the SVE architectural programmer's model.

      arm64: kernel: remove {THREAD,IRQ_STACK}_START_SP · 34be98f4
      Ard Biesheuvel 提交于
      For historical reasons, we leave the top 16 bytes of our task and IRQ
      stacks unused, a practice used to ensure that the SP can always be
      masked to find the base of the current stack (historically, where
      thread_info could be found).
      
      However, this is not necessary, as:
      
      * When an exception is taken from a task stack, we decrement the SP by
        S_FRAME_SIZE and stash the exception registers before we compare the
        SP against the task stack. In such cases, the SP must be at least
        S_FRAME_SIZE below the limit, and can be safely masked to determine
        whether the task stack is in use.
      
      * When transitioning to an IRQ stack, we'll place a dummy frame onto the
        IRQ stack before enabling asynchronous exceptions, or executing code
        we expect to trigger faults. Thus, if an exception is taken from the
        IRQ stack, the SP must be at least 16 bytes below the limit.
      
      * We no longer mask the SP to find the thread_info, which is now found
        via sp_el0. Note that historically, the offset was critical to ensure
        that cpu_switch_to() found the correct stack for new threads that
        hadn't yet executed ret_from_fork().
      
      Given that, this initial offset serves no purpose, and can be removed.
      This brings us in-line with other architectures (e.g. x86) which do not
      rely on this masking.

      arm64: Abstract syscallno manipulation · 17c28958
      Dave Martin 提交于
      The -1 "no syscall" value is written in various ways, shared with
      the user ABI in some places, and generally obscure.
      
      This patch attempts to make things a little more consistent and
      readable by replacing all these uses with a single #define.  A
      couple of symbolic helpers are provided to clarify the intent
      further.
      
      Because the in-syscall check in do_signal() is changed from >= 0 to
      != NO_SYSCALL by this patch, different behaviour may be observable
      if syscallno is set to values less than -1 by a tracer.  However,
      this is not different from the behaviour that is already observable
      if a tracer sets syscallno to a value >= __NR_(compat_)syscalls.
      
      It appears that this can cause spurious syscall restarting, but
      that is not a new behaviour either, and does not appear harmful.

      arm64: syscallno is secretly an int, make it official · 35d0e6fb
      Dave Martin 提交于
      The upper 32 bits of the syscallno field in thread_struct are
      handled inconsistently, being sometimes zero extended and sometimes
      sign-extended.  In fact, only the lower 32 bits seem to have any
      real significance for the behaviour of the code: it's been OK to
      handle the upper bits inconsistently because they don't matter.
      
      Currently, the only place I can find where those bits are
      significant is in calling trace_sys_enter(), which may be
      unintentional: for example, if a compat tracer attempts to cancel a
      syscall by passing -1 to (COMPAT_)PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL at the
      syscall-enter-stop, it will be traced as syscall 4294967295
      rather than -1 as might be expected (and as occurs for a native
      tracer doing the same thing).  Elsewhere, reads of syscallno cast
      it to an int or truncate it.
      
      There's also a conspicuous amount of code and casting to bodge
      around the fact that although semantically an int, syscallno is
      stored as a u64.
      
      Let's not pretend any more.
      
      In order to preserve the stp x instruction that stores the syscall
      number in entry.S, this patch special-cases the layout of struct
      pt_regs for big endian so that the newly 32-bit syscallno field
      maps onto the low bits of the stored value.  This is not beautiful,
      but benchmarking of the getpid syscall on Juno suggests indicates a
      minor slowdown if the stp is split into an stp x and stp w.

      arm64: ptrace: Flush user-RW TLS reg to thread_struct before reading · 936eb65c
      Dave Martin 提交于
      When reading current's user-writable TLS register (which occurs
      when dumping core for native tasks), it is possible that userspace
      has modified it since the time the task was last scheduled out.
      The new TLS register value is not guaranteed to have been written
      immediately back to thread_struct in this case.
      
      As a result, a coredump can capture stale data for this register.
      Reading the register for a stopped task via ptrace is unaffected.
      
      For native tasks, this patch explicitly flushes the TPIDR_EL0
      register back to thread_struct before dumping when operating on
      current, thus ensuring that coredump contents are up to date.  For
      compat tasks, the TLS register is not user-writable and so cannot
      be out of sync, so no flush is required in compat_tls_get().

      arm64: Remove useless UAO IPI and describe how this gets enabled · c8b06e3f
      James Morse 提交于
      Since its introduction, the UAO enable call was broken, and useless.
      commit 2a6dcb2b ("arm64: cpufeature: Schedule enable() calls instead
      of calling them via IPI"), fixed the framework so that these calls
      are scheduled, so that they can modify PSTATE.
      
      Now it is just useless. Remove it. UAO is enabled by the code patching
      which causes get_user() and friends to use the 'ldtr' family of
      instructions. This relies on the PSTATE.UAO bit being set to match
      addr_limit, which we do in uao_thread_switch() called via __switch_to().
      
      All that is needed to enable UAO is patch the code, and call schedule().
      __apply_alternatives_multi_stop() calls stop_machine() when it modifies
      the kernel text to enable the alternatives, (including the UAO code in
      uao_thread_switch()). Once stop_machine() has finished __switch_to() is
      called to reschedule the original task, this causes PSTATE.UAO to be set
      appropriately. An explicit enable() call is not needed.

      locking/core: Introduce cpu_relax_yield() · 79ab11cd
      Christian Borntraeger 提交于
      For spinning loops people do often use barrier() or cpu_relax().
      For most architectures cpu_relax and barrier are the same, but on
      some architectures cpu_relax can add some latency.
      For example on power,sparc64 and arc, cpu_relax can shift the CPU
      towards other hardware threads in an SMT environment.
      On s390 cpu_relax does even more, it uses an hypercall to the
      hypervisor to give up the timeslice.
      In contrast to the SMT yielding this can result in larger latencies.
      In some places this latency is unwanted, so another variant
      "cpu_relax_lowlatency" was introduced. Before this is used in more
      and more places, lets revert the logic and provide a cpu_relax_yield
      that can be called in places where yielding is more important than
      latency. By default this is the same as cpu_relax on all architectures.

      arm64: cpufeature: Schedule enable() calls instead of calling them via IPI · 2a6dcb2b
      James Morse 提交于
      The enable() call for a cpufeature/errata is called using on_each_cpu().
      This issues a cross-call IPI to get the work done. Implicitly, this
      stashes the running PSTATE in SPSR when the CPU receives the IPI, and
      restores it when we return. This means an enable() call can never modify
      PSTATE.
      
      To allow PAN to do this, change the on_each_cpu() call to use
      stop_machine(). This schedules the work on each CPU which allows
      us to modify PSTATE.
      
      This involves changing the protype of all the enable() functions.
      
      enable_cpu_capabilities() is called during boot and enables the feature
      on all online CPUs. This path now uses stop_machine(). CPU features for
      hotplug'd CPUs are enabled by verify_local_cpu_features() which only
      acts on the local CPU, and can already modify the running PSTATE as it
      is called from secondary_start_kernel().

      arm64: trap userspace "dc cvau" cache operation on errata-affected core · 7dd01aef
      Andre Przywara 提交于
      The ARM errata 819472, 826319, 827319 and 824069 for affected
      Cortex-A53 cores demand to promote "dc cvau" instructions to
      "dc civac". Since we allow userspace to also emit those instructions,
      we should make sure that "dc cvau" gets promoted there too.
      So lets grasp the nettle here and actually trap every userland cache
      maintenance instruction once we detect at least one affected core in
      the system.
      We then emulate the instruction by executing it on behalf of userland,
      promoting "dc cvau" to "dc civac" on the way and injecting access
      fault back into userspace.

      arm64: kernel: Add support for User Access Override · 57f4959b

      the normal way.
      
      This patch converts {get,put}_user() and friends to use ldtr*/sttr*
      instructions - so that they can only access EL0 memory, then enables
      UAO when fs==KERNEL_DS so that these functions can access kernel memory.
      
      This allows user space's read/write permissions to be checked against the

      arm64: Delay cpu feature capability checks · dbb4e152
      Suzuki K. Poulose 提交于
      At the moment we run through the arm64_features capability list for
      each CPU and set the capability if one of the CPU supports it. This
      could be problematic in a heterogeneous system with differing capabilities.
      Delay the CPU feature checks until all the enabled CPUs are up(i.e,
      smp_cpus_done(), so that we can make better decisions based on the
      overall system capability. Once we decide and advertise the capabilities
      the alternatives can be applied. From this state, we cannot roll back
      a feature to disabled based on the values from a new hotplugged CPU,
      due to the runtime patching and other reasons. So, for all new CPUs,
      we need to make sure that they have the established system capabilities.
      Failing which, we bring the CPU down, preventing it from turning online.
      Once the capabilities are decided, any new CPU booting up goes through
      verification to ensure that it has all the enabled capabilities and also
      invokes the respective enable() method on the CPU.
      
      The CPU errata checks are not delayed and is still executed per-CPU
      to detect the respective capabilities. If we ever come across a non-errata
      capability that needs to be checked on each-CPU, we could introduce them via
      a new capability table(or introduce a flag), which can be processed per CPU.
      
      The next patch will make the feature checks use the system wide
      safe value of a feature register.
      
      NOTE: The enable() methods associated with the capability is scheduled
      on all the CPUs (which is the only use case at the moment). If we need
      a different type of 'enable()' which only needs to be run once on any CPU,
      we should be able to handle that when needed.
