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).

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 tlb maintainence functions: __cpu_flush_user_tlb_range and __cpu_flush_kern_tlb_range do not take into consideration the page granule when looping through the address range, and repeatedly flush tlb entries for the same page when operating with 64K pages. This patch re-works the logic s.t. we instead advance the loop by 1 << (PAGE_SHIFT - 12), so avoid repeating ourselves. Also the routines have been converted from assembler to static inline functions to aid with legibility and potential compiler optimisations. The isb() has been removed from flush_tlb_kernel_range(.) as it is only needed when changing the execute permission of a mapping. If one needs to set an area of the kernel as execute/non-execute an isb() must be inserted after the call to flush_tlb_kernel_range.

We have the capability to map 1GB level 1 blocks when using a 4K granule. This patch adjusts the create_mapping logic s.t. when mapping physical memory on boot, we attempt to use a 1GB block if both the VA and PA start and end are 1GB aligned.

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_*).

The ARMv8 architecture allows execute-only user permissions by clearing the PTE_UXN and PTE_USER bits. The kernel, however, can still access such page, so execute-only page permission does not protect against read(2)/write(2) etc. accesses. Systems requiring such protection must implement/enable features like SECCOMP. This patch changes the arm64 __P100 and __S100 protection_map[] macros to the new __PAGE_EXECONLY attributes. A side effect is that pte_valid_user() no longer triggers for __PAGE_EXECONLY since PTE_USER isn't set. To work around this, the check is done on the PTE_NG bit via the pte_valid_ng() macro. VM_READ is also checked now for page faults. Signed-off-by: NCatalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> -

Commit d57c33c5 (add generic fixmap.h) added (among other similar things) set_fixmap_io to deal with early ioremap of devices. More recently, commit bf4b558e (arm64: add early_ioremap support) converted the arm64 earlyprintk to use set_fixmap_io. A side effect of this conversion is that my virtual machines have stopped booting when I pass "earlyprintk=uart8250-8bit,0x3f8" to the guest kernel. Turns out that the new earlyprintk code doesn't care at all about sub-page offsets, and just assumes that the earlyprintk device will be page-aligned. Obviously, that doesn't play well with the above example. Further investigation shows that set_fixmap_io uses __set_fixmap instead of __set_fixmap_offset. A fix is to introduce a set_fixmap_offset_io that uses the latter, and to remove the superflous call to fix_to_virt (which only returns the value that set_fixmap_io has already given us). With this applied, my VMs are back in business. Tested on a Cortex-A57 platform with kvmtool as platform emulation.

There are only a couple of architectures that override _STK_LIM_MAX to a non-infinity value. This changes the stack allocation semantics in subtle ways. For example, GNU make changes its stack allocation to the hard maximum defined by _STK_LIM_MAX. As a results, threads executed by processes running under make are allocated a stack size of _STK_LIM_MAX rather than a sensible default value. This causes various thread stress tests to fail when they can't muster more than about 50 threads. The attached change implements the default behavior used by the majority of architectures.

The kvm/mmu code shared by arm and arm64 uses kalloc() to allocate a bounce page (if hypervisor init code crosses page boundary) and hypervisor PGDs. The problem is that kalloc() does not guarantee the proper alignment. In the case of the bounce page, the page sized buffer allocated may also cross a page boundary negating the purpose and leading to a hang during kvm initialization. Likewise the PGDs allocated may not meet the minimum alignment requirements of the underlying MMU. This patch uses __get_free_page() to guarantee the worst case alignment needs of the bounce page and PGDs on both arm and arm64.

On x86 the allocation of irq descriptors may allocate interrupts which are in the range of the GSI interrupts. That's wrong as those interrupts are hardwired and we don't have the irq domain translation like PPC. So one of these interrupts can be hooked up later to one of the devices which are hard wired to it and the io_apic init code for that particular interrupt line happily reuses that descriptor with a completely different configuration so hell breaks lose. Inside x86 we allocate dynamic interrupts from above nr_gsi_irqs, except for a few usage sites which have not yet blown up in our face for whatever reason. But for drivers which need an irq range, like the GPIO drivers, we have no limit in place and we don't want to expose such a detail to a driver. To cure this introduce a function which an architecture can implement to impose a lower bound on the dynamic interrupt allocations. Implement it for x86 and set the lower bound to nr_gsi_irqs, which is the end of the hardwired interrupt space, so all dynamic allocations happen above. That not only allows the GPIO driver to work sanely, it also protects the bogus callsites of create_irq_nr() in hpet, uv, irq_remapping and htirq code. They need to be cleaned up as well, but that's a separate issue.

Correct IRQ routing in case a vSMP box is detected but the Interrupt Routing Comply (IRC) value is set to "comply", which leads to incorrect IRQ routing. Before the patch: When a vSMP box was detected and IRC was set to "comply", users (and the kernel) couldn't effectively set the destination of the IRQs. This is because the hook inside vsmp_64.c always setup all CPUs as the IRQ destination using cpumask_setall() as the return value for IRQ allocation mask. Later, this "overrided" mask caused the kernel to set the IRQ destination to the lowest online CPU in the mask (CPU0 usually). After the patch: When the IRC is set to "comply", users (and the kernel) can control the destination of the IRQs as we will not be changing the default "apic->vector_allocation_domain".

Up until now we have been setting the runlatch bits for a busy CPU and clearing it when a CPU enters idle state. The runlatch bit has thus been consistent with the utilization of a CPU as long as the CPU is online. However when a CPU is hotplugged out the runlatch bit is not cleared. It needs to be cleared to indicate an unused CPU.

While itself is blocked later when trying to acquire memory_hotplug_mutex, which is held by process The backtrace of both processes are shown below: [<c000000001b18600>] 0xc000000001b18600 [<c000000000015044>] .__switch_to+0x144/0x200 [<c000000000263ca4>] .online_pages+0x74/0x7b0 [<c00000000055b40c>] .memory_subsys_online+0x9c/0x150 [<c00000000053cbe8>] .device_online+0xb8/0x120 [<c00000000053cd04>] .online_store+0xb4/0xc0 [<c000000000538ce4>] .dev_attr_store+0x64/0xa0 [<c00000000030f4ec>] .sysfs_kf_write+0x7c/0xb0 [<c00000000030e574>] .kernfs_fop_write+0x154/0x1e0 [<c000000000268450>] .vfs_write+0xe0/0x260 [<c000000000269144>] .SyS_write+0x64/0x110 [<c000000000009ffc>] syscall_exit+0x0/0x7c [<c000000001b18600>] 0xc000000001b18600 [<c000000000015044>] .__switch_to+0x144/0x200 [<c00000000030be14>] .__kernfs_remove+0x204/0x300 [<c00000000030d428>] .kernfs_remove_by_name_ns+0x68/0xf0 [<c00000000030fb38>] .sysfs_remove_file_ns+0x38/0x60 [<c000000000539354>] .device_remove_attrs+0x54/0xc0 [<c000000000539fd8>] .device_del+0x158/0x250 [<c00000000053a104>] .device_unregister+0x34/0xa0 [<c00000000055bc14>] .unregister_memory_section+0x164/0x170 [<c00000000024ee18>] .__remove_pages+0x108/0x4c0 [<c00000000004b590>] .arch_remove_memory+0x60/0xc0 [<c00000000026446c>] .remove_memory+0x8c/0xe0 [<c00000000007f9f4>] .pseries_remove_memblock+0xd4/0x160 [<c00000000007fcfc>] .pseries_memory_notifier+0x27c/0x290 [<c0000000008ae6cc>] .notifier_call_chain+0x8c/0x100 [<c0000000000d858c>] .__blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x6c/0xe0 [<c00000000071ddec>] .of_property_notify+0x7c/0xc0 [<c00000000071ed3c>] .of_update_property+0x3c/0x1b0 [<c0000000000756cc>] .ofdt_write+0x3dc/0x740 [<c0000000002f60fc>] .proc_reg_write+0xac/0x110 [<c000000000268450>] .vfs_write+0xe0/0x260 [<c000000000269144>] .SyS_write+0x64/0x110 [<c000000000009ffc>] syscall_exit+0x0/0x7c This patch uses lock_device_hotplug() to protect remove_memory() called in pseries_remove_memblock(), which is also stated before function remove_memory(): * NOTE: The caller must call lock_device_hotplug() to serialize hotplug * and online/offline operations before this call, as required by * try_offline_node(). */ void __ref remove_memory(int nid, u64 start, u64 size) With this lock held, the other process(#1120 above) trying to online the memory block will retry the system call when calling lock_device_hotplug_sysfs(), and finally find No such device error.

We have two definitions of COMMAND_LINE_SIZE, one for the kernel and one for the boot wrapper. I assume this is so the boot wrapper can be self sufficient and not rely on kernel headers. Having two defines with the same name is confusing, I just updated the wrong one when trying to bump it. Make the boot wrapper define unique by calling it BOOT_COMMAND_LINE_SIZE.
