This patch changes both x86 and arm64 efistub implementations from #including shared .c files under drivers/firmware/efi to building shared code as a static library. The x86 code uses a stub built into the boot executable which uncompresses the kernel at boot time. In this case, the library is linked into the decompressor. In the arm64 case, the stub is part of the kernel proper so the library is linked into the kernel proper as well.

In order to move from the #include "../../../xxxxx.c" anti-pattern used by both the x86 and arm64 versions of the stub to a static library linked into either the kernel proper (arm64) or a separate boot executable (x86), there is some prepatory work required. This patch does the following: - move forward declarations of functions shared between the arch specific and the generic parts of the stub to include/linux/efi.h - move forward declarations of functions shared between various .c files of the generic stub code to a new local header file called "efistub.h" - add #includes to all .c files which were formerly relying on the #includor to include the correct header files - remove all static modifiers from functions which will need to be externally visible once we move to a static library Signed-off-by: NArd Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: NMatt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com>

According to the UEFI spec section 2.3.6.4, the use of FP/SIMD instructions is allowed, and should adhere to the AAPCS64 calling convention, which states that 'only the bottom 64 bits of each value stored in registers v8-v15 need to be preserved' (section 5.1.2). This applies equally to UEFI Runtime Services called by the kernel, so make sure the FP/SIMD register file is preserved in this case. We do this by enabling the wrappers for UEFI Runtime Services (CONFIG_EFI_RUNTIME_WRAPPERS) and inserting calls to kernel_neon_begin()and kernel_neon_end() into these wrappers.

The shared efistub code for ARM and arm64 contains a local copy of linux_banner, allowing it to be referenced from separate executables such as the ARM decompressor. However, this introduces a dependency on generated header files, causing unnecessary rebuilds of the stub itself and, in case of arm64, vmlinux which contains it. On arm64, the copy is not actually needed since we can reference the original symbol directly, and as it turns out, there may be better ways to deal with this for ARM as well, so let's remove it from the shared code. If it still needs to be reintroduced for ARM later, it should live under arch/arm anyway and not in shared code.

On platforms implementing CPU power management, the CPUidle subsystem can allow CPUs to enter idle states where local timers logic is lost on power down. To keep the software timers functional the kernel relies on an always-on broadcast timer to be present in the platform to relay the interrupt signalling the timer expiries. For platforms implementing CPU core gating that do not implement an always-on HW timer or implement it in a broken way, this patch adds code to initialize the kernel hrtimer based clock event device upon boot (which can be chosen as tick broadcast device by the kernel). It relies on a dynamically chosen CPU to be always powered-up. This CPU then relays the timer interrupt to CPUs in deep-idle states through its HW local timer device. Having a CPU always-on has implications on power management platform capabilities and makes CPUidle suboptimal, since at least a CPU is kept always in a shallow idle state by the kernel to relay timer interrupts, but at least leaves the kernel with a functional system with some working power management capabilities. The hrtimer based clock event device is unconditionally registered, but has the lowest possible rating such that any broadcast-capable HW clock event device present will be chosen in preference as the tick broadcast device.

This patch allows "dynamic ftrace" if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE is enabled. Here we can turn on and off tracing dynamically per-function base. On arm64, this is done by patching single branch instruction to _mcount() inserted by gcc -pg option. The branch is replaced to NOP initially at kernel start up, and later on, NOP to branch to ftrace_caller() when enabled or branch to NOP when disabled. Please note that ftrace_caller() is a counterpart of _mcount() in case of 'static' ftrace. More details on architecture specific requirements are described in Documentation/trace/ftrace-design.txt.

This patch implements arm64 specific part to support function tracers, such as function (CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER), function_graph (CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER) and function profiler (CONFIG_FUNCTION_PROFILER). With 'function' tracer, all the functions in the kernel are traced with timestamps in ${sysfs}/tracing/trace. If function_graph tracer is specified, call graph is generated. The kernel must be compiled with -pg option so that _mcount() is inserted at the beginning of functions. This function is called on every function's entry as long as tracing is enabled. In addition, function_graph tracer also needs to be able to probe function's exit. ftrace_graph_caller() & return_to_handler do this by faking link register's value to intercept function's return path.

This patch ports most of commit 19ab428f "ARM: 7759/1: decouple CPU offlining from reboot/shutdown" by Stephen Warren from arch/arm to arch/arm64. machine_shutdown() is a hook for kexec. Add a comment saying so, since it isn't obvious from the function name. Halt, power-off, and restart have different requirements re: stopping secondary CPUs than kexec has. The former simply require the secondary CPUs to be quiesced somehow, whereas kexec requires them to be completely non-operational, so that no matter where the kexec target images are written in RAM, they won't influence operation of the secondary CPUS,which could happen if the CPUs were still executing some kind of pin loop. To this end, modify machine_halt, power_off, and restart to call smp_send_stop() directly, rather than calling machine_shutdown(). In machine_shutdown(), replace the call to smp_send_stop() with a call to disable_nonboot_cpus(). This completely disables all but one CPU, thus satisfying the kexec requirements a couple paragraphs above.

Support for arch_irq_work_raise() was missing from arm64 (a prerequisite for FULL_NOHZ). This patch is based on the arm32 patch ARM 7872/1. commit bf18525f Author: Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org> Date: Tue Oct 29 20:32:56 2013 +0100 ARM: 7872/1: Support arch_irq_work_raise() via self IPIs By default, IRQ work is run from the tick interrupt (see irq_work_run() in update_process_times()). When we're in full NOHZ mode, restarting the tick requires the use of IRQ work and if the only place we run IRQ work is in the tick interrupt we have an unbreakable cycle. Implement arch_irq_work_raise() via self IPIs to break this cycle and get the tick started again. Note that we implement this via IPIs which are only available on SMP builds. This shouldn't be a problem because full NOHZ is only supported on SMP builds anyway.

Some kernel files may include both linux/compat.h and asm/compat.h directly or indirectly. Since both header files contain is_compat_task() under !CONFIG_COMPAT, compiling them with !CONFIG_COMPAT will eventually fail. Such files include kernel/auditsc.c, kernel/seccomp.c and init/do_mountfs.c (do_mountfs.c may read asm/compat.h via asm/ftrace.h once ftrace is implemented). So this patch proactively 1) removes is_compat_task() under !CONFIG_COMPAT from asm/compat.h 2) replaces asm/compat.h to linux/compat.h in kernel/*.c, but asm/compat.h is still necessary in ptrace.c and process.c because they use is_compat_thread().

Since mdscr_el1 is part of the debug register group, it is highly likely to be trapped by a hypervisor to prevent virtual machines from debugging (buggering?) each other. Unfortunately, this absolutely destroys our performance, since we access the register on many of our low-level fault handling paths to keep track of the various debug state machines. This patch removes our dependency on mdscr_el1 in the case that debugging is not being used. More specifically we: - Use TIF_SINGLESTEP to indicate that a task is stepping at EL0 and avoid disabling step in the MDSCR when we don't need to. MDSCR_EL1.SS handling is moved to kernel_entry, when trapping from userspace. - Ensure debug exceptions are re-enabled on *all* exception entry paths, even the debug exception handling path (where we re-enable exceptions after invoking the handler). Since we can now rely on MDSCR_EL1.SS being cleared by the entry code, exception handlers can usually enable debug immediately before enabling interrupts. - Remove all debug exception unmasking from ret_to_user and el1_preempt, since we will never get here with debug exceptions masked. This results in a slight change to kernel debug behaviour, where we now step into interrupt handlers and data aborts from EL1 when debugging the kernel, which is actually a useful thing to do. A side-effect of this is that it *does* potentially prevent stepping off {break,watch}points when there is a high-frequency interrupt source (e.g. a timer), so a debugger would need to use either breakpoints or manually disable interrupts to get around this issue. With this patch applied, guest performance is restored under KVM when debug register accesses are trapped (and we get a measurable performance increase on the host on Cortex-A57 too).

Commit 01f8fa4f("genirq: Allow forcing cpu affinity of interrupts") enabled the forced irq_set_affinity which previously refused to route an interrupt to an offline cpu. Commit ffde1de6("irqchip: Gic: Support forced affinity setting") implements this force logic and disables the cpu online check for GIC interrupt controller. When __cpu_disable calls migrate_irqs, it disables the current cpu in cpu_online_mask and uses forced irq_set_affinity to migrate the IRQs away from the cpu but passes affinity mask with the cpu being offlined also included in it. When calling irq_set_affinity with force == true in a cpu hotplug path, the caller must ensure that the cpu being offlined is not present in the affinity mask or it may be selected as the target CPU, leading to the interrupt not being migrated. This patch uses cpu_online_mask when using forced irq_set_affinity so that the IRQs are properly migrated away.

set_cpu_boot_mode_flag is used to identify which exception levels are encountered across the system by CPUs trying to enter the kernel. The basic algorithm is: if a CPU is booting at EL2, it will set a flag at an offset of #4 from __boot_cpu_mode, a cacheline-aligned variable. Otherwise, a flag is set at an offset of zero into the same cacheline. This enables us to check that all CPUs booted at the same exception level. This cacheline is written with the stage-1 MMU off (that is, via a strongly-ordered mapping) and will bypass any clean lines in the cache, leading to potential coherence problems when the variable is later checked via the normal, cacheable mapping of the kernel image. This patch reworks the broken flushing code so that we: (1) Use a DMB to order the strongly-ordered write of the cacheline against the subsequent cache-maintenance operation (by-VA operations only hazard against normal, cacheable accesses). (2) Use a single dc ivac instruction to invalidate any clean lines containing a stale copy of the line after it has been updated.

The primary aim of this patchset is to remove the pgprot_default and prot_sect_default global variables and rely strictly on predefined values. The original goal was to be able to run SMP kernels on UP hardware by not setting the Shareability bit. However, it is unlikely to see UP ARMv8 hardware and even if we do, the Shareability bit is no longer assumed to disable cacheable accesses. A side effect is that the device mappings now have the Shareability attribute set. The hardware, however, should ignore it since Device accesses are always Outer Shareable. Following the removal of the two global variables, there is some PROT_* macro reshuffling and cleanup, including the __PAGE_* macros (replaced by PAGE_*).

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>
