With the new task struct randomization, we can run into a build failure for certain random seeds, which will place fields beyond the allow immediate size in the assembly: arch/arm/kernel/entry-armv.S: Assembler messages: arch/arm/kernel/entry-armv.S:803: Error: bad immediate value for offset (4096) Only two constants in asm-offset.h are affected, and I'm changing both of them here to work correctly in all configurations. One more macro has the problem, but is currently unused, so this removes it instead of adding complexity.

Commit 8e43a905 "ARM: 7325/1: fix v7 boot with lockdep enabled" introduced notrace variant of save_and_disable_irqs to balance notrace variant of restore_irqs; however V7M case has been missed. It was not noticed because cache-v7.S the only place where notrace variant is used. So fix it, since we are going to extend V7 cache routines to handle V7M case too.

Provide a software-based implementation of the priviledged no access support found in ARMv8.1. Userspace pages are mapped using a different domain number from the kernel and IO mappings. If we switch the user domain to "no access" when we enter the kernel, we can prevent the kernel from touching userspace. However, the kernel needs to be able to access userspace via the various user accessor functions. With the wrapping in the previous patch, we can temporarily enable access when the kernel needs user access, and re-disable it afterwards. This allows us to trap non-intended accesses to userspace, eg, caused by an inadvertent dereference of the LIST_POISON* values, which, with appropriate user mappings setup, can be made to succeed. This in turn can allow use-after-free bugs to be further exploited than would otherwise be possible. Signed-off-by: NRussell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

Provide hooks into the kernel entry and exit paths to permit control of userspace visibility to the kernel. The intended use is: - on entry to kernel from user, uaccess_disable will be called to disable userspace visibility - on exit from kernel to user, uaccess_enable will be called to enable userspace visibility - on entry from a kernel exception, uaccess_save_and_disable will be called to save the current userspace visibility setting, and disable access - on exit from a kernel exception, uaccess_restore will be called to restore the userspace visibility as it was before the exception occurred. These hooks allows us to keep userspace visibility disabled for the vast majority of the kernel, except for localised regions where we want to explicitly access userspace.

Make the "fast" syscall return path fast again. The addition of IRQ tracing and context tracking has made this path grossly inefficient.

BSYM() was invented to allow us to work around a problem with the assembler, where local symbols resolved by the assembler for the 'adr' instruction did not take account of their ISA. Since we don't want BSYM() used elsewhere, replace BSYM() with a new macro 'badr', which is like the 'adr' pseudo-op, but with the BSYM() mechanics integrated into it. This ensures that the BSYM()-ification is only used in conjunction with 'adr'.

ARMv6 and greater introduced a new instruction ("bx") which can be used to return from function calls. Recent CPUs perform better when the "bx lr" instruction is used rather than the "mov pc, lr" instruction, and this sequence is strongly recommended to be used by the ARM architecture manual (section A.4.1.1). We provide a new macro "ret" with all its variants for the condition code which will resolve to the appropriate instruction. Rather than doing this piecemeal, and miss some instances, change all the "mov pc" instances to use the new macro, with the exception of the "movs" instruction and the kprobes code. This allows us to detect the "mov pc, lr" case and fix it up - and also gives us the possibility of deploying this for other registers depending on the CPU selection.

On CPUs with virtualization extensions the kernel installs HYP mode configuration on both primary and secondary cpus upon cold boot. On platforms where CPUs are shutdown in idle paths (ie CPU core gating), when a CPU resumes from low-power states it currently does not execute code that reinstalls the HYP configuration, which means that the kernel cannot run eg KVM properly on such machines. This patch, mirroring cold-boot behaviour, executes position independent code that reinstalls HYP configuration and drops to SVC mode safely on warmboot, so that deep idle states can be enabled in kernel running as hosts on platforms with power management HW.

The kernel can only be entered on HYP mode on CPUs which actually support it, i.e. >= ARMv7. pre-v6 platform support cannot coexist in the same kernel as support for v7 and higher, so there is no advantage in having the HYP mode check on pre-v6 hardware. At least one pre-v6 board is known to fail when the HYP mode check code is present, although the exact cause remains unknown and may be unrelated. [1] This patch restores the old behaviour for pre-v6 platforms, whereby the CPSR is forced directly to SVC mode with IRQs and FIQs masked. All kernels capable of booting on v7 hardware will retain the check, so this should not impair functionality.

It appears that performing a "movs pc, lr" to force the kernel into SVC mode on the OMAP2420 (ARM1136) prevents the platform from booting correctly (change introduced in 80c59daf [ARM: virt: allow the kernel to be entered in HYP mode]). While the reason it fails is not understood yet (the same code runs fine on the OMAP2430, ARM1136 as well), partially revert that change for platforms that do not enter in HYP mode, preserving the new feature and restoring a working kernel on the OMAP2420.

This patch does two things: * Ensure that asynchronous aborts are masked at kernel entry. The bootloader should be masking these anyway, but this reduces the damage window just in case it doesn't. * Enter svc mode via exception return to ensure that CPU state is properly serialised. This does not matter when switching from an ordinary privileged mode ("PL1" modes in ARMv7-AR rev C parlance), but it potentially does matter when switching from a another privileged mode such as hyp mode. This should allow the kernel to boot safely either from svc mode or hyp mode, even if no support for use of the ARM Virtualization Extensions is built into the kernel.

Bootup with lockdep enabled has been broken on v7 since b46c0f74 ("ARM: 7321/1: cache-v7: Disable preemption when reading CCSIDR"). This is because v7_setup (which is called very early during boot) calls v7_flush_dcache_all, and the save_and_disable_irqs added by that patch ends up attempting to call into lockdep C code (trace_hardirqs_off()) when we are in no position to execute it (no stack, MMU off).

* __fixup_smp_on_up has been modified with support for the THUMB2_KERNEL case. For THUMB2_KERNEL only, fixups are split into halfwords in case of misalignment, since we can't rely on unaligned accesses working before turning the MMU on. No attempt is made to optimise the aligned case, since the number of fixups is typically small, and it seems best to keep the code as simple as possible. * Add a rotate in the fixup_smp code in order to support CPU_BIG_ENDIAN, as suggested by Nicolas Pitre. * Add an assembly-time sanity-check to ALT_UP() to ensure that the content really is the right size (4 bytes). (No check is done for ALT_SMP(). Possibly, this could be fixed by splitting the two uses ot ALT_SMP() (ALT_SMP...SMP_UP versus ALT_SMP...SMP_UP_B) into two macros. In the first case, ALT_SMP needs to expand to >= 4 bytes, not == 4.) * smp_mpidr.h (which implements ALT_SMP()/ALT_UP() manually due to macro limitations) has not been modified: the affected instruction (mov) has no 16-bit encoding, so the correct instruction size is satisfied in this case. * A "mode" parameter has been added to smp_dmb: smp_dmb arm @ assumes 4-byte instructions (for ARM code, e.g. kuser) smp_dmb @ uses W() to ensure 4-byte instructions for ALT_SMP() This avoids assembly failures due to use of W() inside smp_dmb, when assembling pure-ARM code in the vectors page. There might be a better way to achieve this. * Kconfig: make SMP_ON_UP depend on (!THUMB2_KERNEL || !BIG_ENDIAN) i.e., THUMB2_KERNEL is now supported, but only if !BIG_ENDIAN (The fixup code for Thumb-2 currently assumes little-endian order.)

Commit 8b592783 added a Thumb-2 variant of usracc which, when it is called with \rept=2, calls usraccoff once with an offset of 0 and secondly with a hard-coded offset of 4 in order to avoid incrementing the pointer again. If \inc != 4 then we will store the data to the wrong offset from \ptr. Luckily, the only caller that passes \rept=2 to this function is __clear_user so we haven't been actively corrupting user data.

This patch removes the domain switching functionality via the set_fs and __switch_to functions on cores that have a TLS register. Currently, the ioremap and vmalloc areas share the same level 1 page tables and therefore have the same domain (DOMAIN_KERNEL). When the kernel domain is modified from Client to Manager (via the __set_fs or in the __switch_to function), the XN (eXecute Never) bit is overridden and newer CPUs can speculatively prefetch the ioremap'ed memory. Linux performs the kernel domain switching to allow user-specific functions (copy_to/from_user, get/put_user etc.) to access kernel memory. In order for these functions to work with the kernel domain set to Client, the patch modifies the LDRT/STRT and related instructions to the LDR/STR ones. The user pages access rights are also modified for kernel read-only access rather than read/write so that the copy-on-write mechanism still works. CPU_USE_DOMAINS gets disabled only if the hardware has a TLS register (CPU_32v6K is defined) since writing the TLS value to the high vectors page isn't possible. The user addresses passed to the kernel are checked by the access_ok() function so that they do not point to the kernel space.

UP systems do not implement all the instructions that SMP systems have, so in order to boot a SMP kernel on a UP system, we need to rewrite parts of the kernel. Do this using an 'alternatives' scheme, where the kernel code and data is modified prior to initialization to replace the SMP instructions, thereby rendering the problematical code ineffectual. We use the linker to generate a list of 32-bit word locations and their replacement values, and run through these replacements when we detect a UP system.

I had to transpose two instructions in arch/arm/lib/bitops.h because restore_irqs doesn't preserve the flags with CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS=y Signed-off-by: NUwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de> Cc: Russell King <linux@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NUwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de>

Mathieu Desnoyers pointed out that the ARM barriers were lacking: - cmpxchg, xchg and atomic add return need memory barriers on architectures which can reorder the relative order in which memory read/writes can be seen between CPUs, which seems to include recent ARM architectures. Those barriers are currently missing on ARM. - test_and_xxx_bit were missing SMP barriers. So put these barriers in. Provide separate atomic_add/atomic_sub operations which do not require barriers.
