      arm64: debug: avoid accessing mdscr_el1 on fault paths where possible · 2a283070
      Will Deacon 提交于
      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).

      arm64: debug: remove noisy, pointless warning · 43683afb
      Will Deacon 提交于
      Sending a SIGTRAP to a user task after execution of a BRK instruction at
      EL0 is fundamental to the way in which software breakpoints work and
      doesn't deserve a warning to be logged in dmesg. Whilst the warning can
      be justified from EL1, do_debug_exception will already do the right thing,
      so simply remove the code altogether.

      arm64: mm: Add THP TLB entries to general mmu_gather · 2eb835e0
      Steve Capper 提交于
      When arm64 moved over to the core mmu_gather, it lost the logic to
      flush THP TLB entries (tlb_remove_pmd_tlb_entry was removed and the
      core implementation only signals that the mmu_gather needs a flush).
      
      This patch ensures that tlb_add_flush is called for THP TLB entries.

      arm64: fix !CONFIG_COMPAT build failures · ff268ff7
      Mark Salter 提交于
      Recent arm64 builds using CONFIG_ARM64_64K_PAGES are failing with:
      
        arch/arm64/kernel/perf_regs.c: In function ‘perf_reg_abi’:
        arch/arm64/kernel/perf_regs.c:41:2: error: implicit declaration of function ‘is_compat_thread’
      
        arch/arm64/kernel/perf_event.c:1398:2: error: unknown type name ‘compat_uptr_t’
      
      This is due to some recent arm64 perf commits with compat support:
      
        commit 23c7d70d:
          ARM64: perf: add support for frame pointer unwinding in compat mode
      
        commit 2ee0d7fd:
          ARM64: perf: add support for perf registers API
      
      Those patches make the arm64 kernel unbuildable if CONFIG_COMPAT is not
      defined and CONFIG_ARM64_64K_PAGES depends on !CONFIG_COMPAT. This patch
      allows the arm64 kernel to build with and without CONFIG_COMPAT.
