When CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA is set, we get a link error: arch/arm/mm/built-in.o:(.data+0x4bc): undefined reference to `__start_rodata_section_aligned' However, this combination is useless, as XIP_KERNEL implies that all the RODATA is already marked readonly, so both CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA and CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA (which depends on the other) are not needed with XIP_KERNEL, and this patches enforces that using a Kconfig dependency.

The physical-relative calculation between the XIP text and data sections introduced by the previous patch was far from obvious. Let's simplify it by turning it into a macro which takes the two (virtual) addresses. This allows us to arrange the calculation in a more obvious manner - we can make it two sub-expressions which calculate the physical address for each symbol, and then takes the difference of those physical addresses.

When XIP_KERNEL is enabled, the virt to phys address translation for RAM is not the same as the virt to phys address translation for .text.

When rodata is large enough that it crosses a section boundary after the kernel text, mark the rest NX.

For an XIP build, _etext does not represent the end of the binary image that needs to stay mapped into the MODULES_VADDR area. Years ago, data came before text in the memory map. However, now that the order is text/init/data, an XIP_KERNEL needs to map up to the data location in order to keep from cutting off parts of the kernel that are needed. We only map up to the beginning of data because data has already been copied, so there's no reason to keep it around anymore. A new symbol is created to make it clear what it is we are referring to. This fixes the bug where you might lose the end of your kernel area after page table setup is complete.

If we know that TLB efficiency will not be an issue when memory is accessed then it's not terribly important to allocate big chunks of memory. The whole point of allocating the big chunks was that it would make TLB usage efficient. As Marek Szyprowski indicated: Please note that mapping memory with larger pages significantly improves performance, especially when IOMMU has a little TLB cache. This can be easily observed when multimedia devices do processing of RGB data with 90/270 degree rotation Image rotation is distinctly an operation that needs to bounce around through memory, so it makes sense that TLB efficiency is important there. Video decoding, on the other hand, is a fairly sequential operation. During video decoding it's not expected that we'll be jumping all over memory. Decoding video is also pretty heavy and the TLB misses aren't a huge deal. Presumably most HW video acceleration users of dma-mapping will not care about huge pages and will set DMA_ATTR_ALLOC_SINGLE_PAGES. Allocating big chunks of memory is quite expensive, especially if we're doing it repeadly and memory is full. In one (out of tree) usage model it is common that arm_iommu_alloc_attrs() is called 16 times in a row, each one trying to allocate 4 MB of memory. This is called whenever the system encounters a new video, which could easily happen while the memory system is stressed out. In fact, on certain social media websites that auto-play video and have infinite scrolling, it's quite common to see not just one of these 16x4MB allocations but 2 or 3 right after another. Asking the system even to do a small amount of extra work to give us big chunks in this case is just not a good use of time. Allocating big chunks of memory is also expensive indirectly. Even if we ask the system not to do ANY extra work to allocate _our_ memory, we're still potentially eating up all big chunks in the system. Presumably there are other users in the system that aren't quite as flexible and that actually need these big chunks. By eating all the big chunks we're causing extra work for the rest of the system. We also may start making other memory allocations fail. While the system may be robust to such failures (as is the case with dwc2 USB trying to allocate buffers for Ethernet data and with WiFi trying to allocate buffers for WiFi data), it is yet another big performance hit.

The __iommu_alloc_buffer() is expected to be called to allocate pretty sizeable buffers. Upon simple tests of video I saw it trying to allocate 4,194,304 bytes. The function tries to allocate large chunks in order to optimize IOMMU TLB usage. The current function is very, very slow. One problem is the way it keeps trying and trying to allocate big chunks. Imagine a very fragmented memory that has 4M free but no contiguous pages at all. Further imagine allocating 4M (1024 pages). We'll do the following memory allocations: - For page 1: - Try to allocate order 10 (no retry) - Try to allocate order 9 (no retry) - ... - Try to allocate order 0 (with retry, but not needed) - For page 2: - Try to allocate order 9 (no retry) - Try to allocate order 8 (no retry) - ... - Try to allocate order 0 (with retry, but not needed) - ... - ... Total number of calls to alloc() calls for this case is: sum(int(math.log(i, 2)) + 1 for i in range(1, 1025)) => 9228 The above is obviously worse case, but given how slow alloc can be we really want to try to avoid even somewhat bad cases. I timed the old code with a device under memory pressure and it wasn't hard to see it take more than 120 seconds to allocate 4 megs of memory! (NOTE: testing was done on kernel 3.14, so possibly mainline would behave differently). A second problem is that allocating big chunks under memory pressure when we don't need them is just not a great idea anyway unless we really need them. We can make due pretty well with smaller chunks so it's probably wise to leave bigger chunks for other users once memory pressure is on. Let's adjust the allocation like this: 1. If a big chunk fails, stop trying to hard and bump down to lower order allocations. 2. Don't try useless orders. The whole point of big chunks is to optimize the TLB and it can really only make use of 2M, 1M, 64K and 4K sizes. We'll still tend to eat up a bunch of big chunks, but that might be the right answer for some users. A future patch could possibly add a new DMA_ATTR that would let the caller decide that TLB optimization isn't important and that we should use smaller chunks. Presumably this would be a sane strategy for some callers.

The use of CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is generally seen as an essential part of kernel self-protection: http://www.openwall.com/lists/kernel-hardening/2015/11/30/13 Additionally, its name has grown to mean things beyond just rodata. To get ARM closer to this, we ought to rearrange the names of the configs that control how the kernel protects its memory. What was called CONFIG_ARM_KERNMEM_PERMS is realy doing the work that other architectures call CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA. This redefines CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA to actually do the bulk of the ROing (and NXing). In the place of the old CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA, use CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA, since that's what the option does: adds section alignment for making rodata explicitly NX, as arm does not split the page tables like arm64 does without _ALIGN_RODATA. Also adds human readable names to the sections so I could more easily debug my typos, and makes CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA default "y" for CPU_V7. Results in /sys/kernel/debug/kernel_page_tables for each config state: # CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is not set # CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA is not set ---[ Kernel Mapping ]--- 0x80000000-0x80900000 9M RW x SHD 0x80900000-0xa0000000 503M RW NX SHD CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA=y ---[ Kernel Mapping ]--- 0x80000000-0x80100000 1M RW NX SHD 0x80100000-0x80700000 6M ro x SHD 0x80700000-0x80a00000 3M ro NX SHD 0x80a00000-0xa0000000 502M RW NX SHD CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y # CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA is not set ---[ Kernel Mapping ]--- 0x80000000-0x80100000 1M RW NX SHD 0x80100000-0x80a00000 9M ro x SHD 0x80a00000-0xa0000000 502M RW NX SHD Signed-off-by: NKees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: NLaura Abbott <labbott@fedoraproject.org> Signed-off-by: NRussell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

Make virt_to_idmap() return an unsigned long rather than phys_addr_t. Returning phys_addr_t here makes no sense, because the definition of virt_to_idmap() is that it shall return a physical address which maps identically with the virtual address. Since virtual addresses are limited to 32-bit, identity mapped physical addresses are as well. Almost all users already had an implicit narrowing cast to unsigned long so let's make this official and part of this interface.

According to commit 2503a5ec "ARM: 6201/1: RealView: Do not use outer_sync() on ARM11MPCore boards with L220" Some PB11MPCore RealView core tiles have broken outer_sync. We got rid of the custom barriers from the machine by disabling outer sync, but that was just for the boardfile case. We have to be able to do the same in the device tree case. Since __l2c_init() is cloning and copying the L2C vtable, we pass an argument to this function to optionally numb the outer sync operation if desired, before initializing the cache. After this we can set up the cache correctly on the RealView PB11MPCore. This was tested on a PB11MPCore known to have the issue. Before this, spurious crashes would occur if we try to set up the cache properly, after this it boots rock solid.

Commit 42c4dafe ("ARM: 6202/1: Do not ARM_DMA_MEM_BUFFERABLE on RealView boards with L210/L220") changed the generic setting for ARM_DMA_MEM_BUFFERABLE to be disabled on any Realview kernel that includes support for any of the ARM11 variations. Doing this was required to allow doing DMA without a lockup in the l2x0 cache controller on the Realview platform. Unfortunately, in a kernel that also contains support for any ARMv7 based machine, the same change makes it impossible to do DMA on ARMv7, which gets in the way of enabling multiplatform support on Realview. As confirmed by Catalin Marinas and Linus Walleij, the current code for Realview that we have in the kernel does not actually perform any DMA, and this is unlikely to change in the future. Therefore we can revert 42c4dafe without introducing regressions, but we must never start using DMA on this platform in the future.

CPU x schedules task t with mm p containing ASID a and generation g This task doesn't block and the CPU doesn't context switch. So: * per_cpu(active_asid, x) = {g,a} * p->context.id = {g,a} 2. Some other CPU generates an ASID rollover. The global generation is now (g + 1). CPU x is still running t, with no context switch and so per_cpu(reserved_asid, x) = {g,a} 3. CPU y schedules task t', which shares mm p with t. The generation mismatches, so we take the slowpath and hit the reserved ASID from CPU x. p is then updated so that p->context.id = {g + 1,a} 4. CPU y schedules some other task u, which has an mm != p. 5. Some other CPU generates *another* CPU rollover. The global generation is now (g + 2). CPU x is still running t, with no context switch and so per_cpu(reserved_asid, x) = {g,a}. 6. CPU y once again schedules task t', but now *fails* to hit the reserved ASID from CPU x because of the generation mismatch. This results in a new ASID being allocated, despite the fact that t is still running on CPU x with the same mm. Consequently, TLBIs (e.g. as a result of CoW) will not be synchronised between the two threads. This patch fixes the problem by updating all of the matching reserved ASIDs when we hit on the slowpath (i.e. in step 3 above). This keeps the reserved ASIDs in-sync with the mm and avoids the problem.

It is in principle possible to build an MMP kernel for the mohawk CPU with the MMU code disabled, except for one simple build error: proc-mohawk.S:345: Error: invalid operands (*UND* and *UND* sections) for `|' proc-mohawk.S:345: Error: invalid operands (*ABS* and *UND* sections) for `|' proc-mohawk.S:345: Error: invalid operands (*UND* and *UND* sections) for `|' proc-mohawk.S:345: Error: invalid operands (*UND* and *UND* sections) for `|' proc-mohawk.S:345: Error: undefined symbol L_PTE_USER used as an immediate value This patch changes the proc-mohawk code to do the same as the other CPUs and not try to actually do anything for the cpu_mohawk_set_pte_ext function, which won't be used anyway.

In a multiplatform configuration, we may end up building a kernel for both Marvell PJ1 and an ARMv4 CPU implementation. In that case, the xscale-cp0 code is built with gcc -march=armv4{,t}, which results in a build error from the coprocessor instructions. Since we know this code will only have to run on an actual xscale processor, we can simply build the entire file for ARMv5TE. Related to this, we need to handle the iWMMXT initialization sequence differently during boot, to ensure we don't try to touch xscale specific registers on other CPUs from the xscale_cp0_init initcall. cpu_is_xscale() used to be hardcoded to '1' in any configuration that enables any XScale-compatible core, but this breaks once we can have a combined kernel with MMP1 and something else. In this patch, I replace the existing cpu_is_xscale() macro with a new cpu_is_xscale_family() macro that evaluates true for xscale, xsc3 and mohawk, which makes the behavior more deterministic. The two existing users of cpu_is_xscale() are modified accordingly, but slightly change behavior for kernels that enable CPU_MOHAWK without also enabling CPU_XSCALE or CPU_XSC3. Previously, these would leave leave PMD_BIT4 in the page tables untouched, now they clear it as we've always done for kernels that enable both MOHAWK and the support for the older CPU types. Since the previous behavior was inconsistent, I assume it was unintentional. Signed-off-by: NArnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

On ARM v7-M, when PROCINFO_INITFUNC (__v7m_setup) is called, a stack is needed before calling the supervisor call (SVC), which is used by the supervisor call to save the context. Currently, __v7m_setup() prepares a temporary stack in the .text.init section, which is is broken if the kernel is executing directly from read-only memory. In particular, this is the case for LPC43xx, which allows to execute the kernel in-place from a serial flash through its SPIFI controller. This commit fixes the issue by seting an early stack to its usual location. Also, __v7m_setup() is currently saving and restoring the previous stack. That was bogus, because there's no stack previously set, so this commit removes it.

The RealView ARM11MPCore enables parity, eventmon and shared override in the cache controller through its current boardfile, but the code and DT bindings for the ARM L220 is currently lacking the ability to set this up from DT. Add the required bool parameters for parity and shared override, but keep eventmon out of it: this should be enabled by the event monitor code.

mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd __GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve". Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic reserves. This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic, cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use __GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake kswapd for background reclaim. This patch then converts a number of sites o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag. o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress. o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to flag manipulations. o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons. In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH. The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

probe_kernel_address() is basically the same as the (later added) probe_kernel_read(). The return value on EFAULT is a bit different: probe_kernel_address() returns number-of-bytes-not-copied whereas probe_kernel_read() returns -EFAULT. All callers have been checked, none cared. probe_kernel_read() can be overridden by the architecture whereas probe_kernel_address() cannot. parisc, blackfin and um do this, to insert additional checking. Hence this patch possibly fixes obscure bugs, although there are only two probe_kernel_address() callsites outside arch/. My first attempt involved removing probe_kernel_address() entirely and converting all callsites to use probe_kernel_read() directly, but that got tiresome. This patch shrinks mm/slab_common.o by 218 bytes. For a single probe_kernel_address() callsite.

Install a non-faulting handler just before unmasking imprecise aborts and switch back to the regular one after unmasking is done. This catches any pending imprecise abort that the firmware/bootloader may have left behind that would normally crash the kernel at that point. As there are apparently a lot of bootlaoders out there that do such a thing it makes sense to handle it in the common startup code.
