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>

AArch64 Single Steping and Breakpoint debug exceptions will be used by multiple debug framworks like kprobes & kgdb. This patch implements the hooks for those frameworks to register their own handlers for handling breakpoint and single step events. Reworked the debug exception handler in entry.S: do_dbg to route software breakpoint (BRK64) exception to do_debug_exception() Signed-off-by: NSandeepa Prabhu <sandeepa.prabhu@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: NDeepak Saxena <dsaxena@linaro.org> Acked-by: NWill Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Signed-off-by: NCatalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

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.

Currently, if a compat process reads or writes from/to a disabled cp15/cp14 register, the trap is not handled by the el0_sync_compat handler, and the kernel will head to bad_mode, where it will die(), and oops(). For 64 bit processes, disabled system register accesses are currently treated as unhandled instructions. This patch modifies entry.S to treat these unhandled traps as undefined instructions, sending a SIGILL to userspace. This gives processes a chance to handle this and stop using inaccessible registers, and prevents further issues in the kernel as a result of the die().

The ESR_EL1 decoding process is a bit cryptic, and KVM has also a need for the same constants. Add a new esr.h file containing the appropriate exception classes constants, and change entry.S to use it. Fix a small bug in the EL1 breakpoint check while we're at it.

The patch contains the exception entry code (kernel/entry.S), pt_regs structure and related accessors, undefined instruction trapping and stack tracing. AArch64 Linux kernel (including kernel threads) runs in EL1 mode using the SP1 stack. The vectors don't have a fixed address, only alignment (2^11) requirements.
