      ARM: fix missing syscall trace exit · 1b979372
      由 Russell King 提交于 
      Josh Stone reports:

  I've discovered a case where both arm and arm64 will miss a ptrace
  syscall-exit that they should report.  If the syscall is entered
  without TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE set, then it goes on the fast path.  It's
  then possible to have TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE added in the middle of the
  syscall, but ret_fast_syscall doesn't check this flag again.

Fix this by always checking for a syscall trace in the fast exit path.

      ARM: 8338/1: kexec: Relax SMP validation to improve DT compatibility · fee3fd4f
      由 Geert Uytterhoeven 提交于 
      When trying to kexec into a new kernel on a platform where multiple CPU
cores are present, but no SMP bringup code is available yet, the
kexec_load system call fails with:

    kexec_load failed: Invalid argument

The SMP test added to machine_kexec_prepare() in commit 2103f6cb
("ARM: 7807/1: kexec: validate CPU hotplug support") wants to prohibit
kexec on SMP platforms where it cannot disable secondary CPUs.
However, this test is too strict: if the secondary CPUs couldn't be
enabled in the first place, there's no need to disable them later at
kexec time.  Hence skip the test in the absence of SMP bringup code.

This allows to add all CPU cores to the DTS from the beginning, without
having to implement SMP bringup first, improving DT compatibility.

      ARM: fix broken hibernation · 767bf7e7
      由 Russell King 提交于 
      Normally, when a CPU wants to clear a cache line to zero in the external
L2 cache, it would generate bus cycles to write each word as it would do
with any other data access.

However, a Cortex A9 connected to a L2C-310 has a specific feature where
the CPU can detect this operation, and signal that it wants to zero an
entire cache line.  This feature, known as Full Line of Zeros (FLZ),
involves a non-standard AXI signalling mechanism which only the L2C-310
can properly interpret.

There are separate enable bits in both the L2C-310 and the Cortex A9 -
the L2C-310 needs to be enabled and have the FLZ enable bit set in the
auxiliary control register before the Cortex A9 has this feature
enabled.

Unfortunately, the suspend code was not respecting this - it's not
obvious from the code:

swsusp_arch_suspend()
 cpu_suspend() /* saves the Cortex A9 auxiliary control register */
  arch_save_image()
  soft_restart() /* turns off FLZ in Cortex A9, and disables L2C */
   cpu_resume() /* restores the Cortex A9 registers, inc auxcr */

At this point, we end up with the L2C disabled, but the Cortex A9 with
FLZ enabled - which means any memset() or zeroing of a full cache line
will fail to take effect.

A similar issue exists in the resume path, but it's slightly more
complex:

swsusp_arch_suspend()
 cpu_suspend() /* saves the Cortex A9 auxiliary control register */
  arch_save_image() /* image with A9 auxcr saved */
...
swsusp_arch_resume()
 call_with_stack()
  arch_restore_image() /* restores image with A9 auxcr saved above */
  soft_restart() /* turns off FLZ in Cortex A9, and disables L2C */
   cpu_resume() /* restores the Cortex A9 registers, inc auxcr */

Again, here we end up with the L2C disabled, but Cortex A9 FLZ enabled.

There's no need to turn off the L2C in either of these two paths; there
are benefits from not doing so - for example, the page copies will be
faster with the L2C enabled.

Hence, fix this by providing a variant of soft_restart() which can be
used without turning the L2 cache controller off, and use it in both
of these paths to keep the L2C enabled across the respective resume
transitions.

      ARM: 8319/1: advertise availability of v8 Crypto instructions · a092aedb
      由 Ard Biesheuvel 提交于 
      When running the 32-bit ARM kernel on ARMv8 capable bare metal (e.g.,
32-bit Android userland and kernel on a Cortex-A53), or as a KVM guest
on a 64-bit host, we should advertise the availability of the Crypto
instructions, so that userland libraries such as OpenSSL may use them.
(Support for the v8 Crypto instructions in the 32-bit build was added
to OpenSSL more than six months ago)

This adds the ID feature bit detection, and sets elf_hwcap2 accordingly.

      ARM: 8314/1: replace PROCINFO embedded branch with relative offset · bf35706f
      由 Ard Biesheuvel 提交于 
      This patch replaces the 'branch to setup()' instructions embedded
in the PROCINFO structs with the offset to that setup function
relative to the base of the struct. This preserves the position
independent nature of that field, but uses a data item rather
than an instruction.

This is mainly done to prevent linker failures on large kernels,
where the setup function is out of reach for the branch.

      ARM: 8331/1: VDSO initialization, mapping, and synchronization · ecf99a43
      由 Nathan Lynch 提交于 
      Initialize the VDSO page list at boot, install the VDSO mapping at
exec time, and update the data page during timer ticks.  This code is
not built if CONFIG_VDSO is not enabled.

Account for the VDSO length when randomizing the offset from the
stack.  The [vdso] and [vvar] pages are placed immediately following
the sigpage with separate _install_special_mapping calls.

We want to "penalize" systems lacking the arch timer as little
as possible.  Previous versions of this code installed the VDSO
unconditionally and unmodified, making it a measurably slower way for
glibc to invoke the real syscalls on such systems.  E.g. calling
gettimeofday via glibc goes from ~560ns to ~630ns on i.MX6Q.

If we can indicate to glibc that the time-related APIs in the VDSO are
not accelerated, glibc can continue to invoke the syscalls directly
instead of dispatching through the VDSO only to fall back to the slow
path.

Thus, if the architected timer is unusable for whatever reason, patch
the VDSO at boot time so that symbol lookups for gettimeofday and
clock_gettime return NULL.  (This is similar to what powerpc does and
borrows code from there.)  This allows glibc to perform the syscall
directly instead of passing control to the VDSO, which minimizes the
penalty.  In my measurements the time taken for a gettimeofday call
via glibc goes from ~560ns to ~580ns (again on i.MX6Q), and this is
solely due to adding a test and branch to glibc's gettimeofday syscall
wrapper.

An alternative to patching the VDSO at boot would be to not install
the VDSO at all when the arch timer isn't usable.  Another alternative
is to include a separate "dummy" vdso.so without gettimeofday and
clock_gettime, which would be selected at boot time.  Either of these
would get cumbersome if the VDSO were to gain support for an API such
as getcpu which is unrelated to arch timer support.

      ARM: 8330/1: add VDSO user-space code · 8512287a
      由 Nathan Lynch 提交于 
      Place VDSO-related user-space code in arch/arm/kernel/vdso/.

It is almost completely written in C with some assembly helpers to
load the data page address, sample the counter, and fall back to
system calls when necessary.

The VDSO can service gettimeofday and clock_gettime when
CONFIG_ARM_ARCH_TIMER is enabled and the architected timer is present
(and correctly configured).  It reads the CP15-based virtual counter
to compute high-resolution timestamps.

Of particular note is that a post-processing step ("vdsomunge") is
necessary to produce a shared object which is architecturally allowed
to be used by both soft- and hard-float EABI programs.

The 2012 edition of the ARM ABI defines Tag_ABI_VFP_args = 3 "Code is
compatible with both the base and VFP variants; the user did not
permit non-variadic functions to pass FP parameters/results."
Unfortunately current toolchains do not support this tag, which is
ideally what we would use.

The best available option is to ensure that both EF_ARM_ABI_FLOAT_SOFT
and EF_ARM_ABI_FLOAT_HARD are unset in the ELF header's e_flags,
indicating that the shared object is "old" and should be accepted for
backward compatibility's sake.  While binutils < 2.24 appear to
produce a vdso.so with both flags clear, 2.24 always sets
EF_ARM_ABI_FLOAT_SOFT, with no way to inhibit this behavior.  So we
have to fix things up with a custom post-processing step.

In fact, the VDSO code in glibc does much less validation (including
checking these flags) than the code for handling conventional
file-backed shared libraries, so this is a bit moot unless glibc's
VDSO code becomes more strict.

      ARM: perf: reject groups spanning multiple hardware PMUs · e429817b
      由 Suzuki K. Poulose 提交于 
      The perf core implicitly rejects events spanning multiple HW PMUs, as in
these cases the event->ctx will differ. However this validation is
performed after pmu::event_init() is called in perf_init_event(), and
thus pmu::event_init() may be called with a group leader from a
different HW PMU.

The ARM PMU driver does not take this fact into account, and when
validating groups assumes that it can call to_arm_pmu(event->pmu) for
any HW event. When the event in question is from another HW PMU this is
wrong, and results in dereferencing garbage.

This patch updates the ARM PMU driver to first test for and reject
events from other PMUs, moving the to_arm_pmu and related logic after
this test. Fixes a crash triggered by perf_fuzzer on Linux-4.0-rc2, with
a CCI PMU present:
