2017-06-20arm64/vdso: Fix nsec handling for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAWWill Deacon
Recently vDSO support for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW was added in 49eea433b326 ("arm64: Add support for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW in clock_gettime() vDSO"). Noticing that the core timekeeping code never set tkr_raw.xtime_nsec, the vDSO implementation didn't bother exposing it via the data page and instead took the unshifted tk->raw_time.tv_nsec value which was then immediately shifted left in the vDSO code. Unfortunately, by accellerating the MONOTONIC_RAW clockid, it uncovered potential 1ns time inconsistencies caused by the timekeeping core not handing sub-ns resolution. Now that the core code has been fixed and is actually setting tkr_raw.xtime_nsec, we need to take that into account in the vDSO by adding it to the shifted raw_time value, in order to fix the user-visible inconsistency. Rather than do that at each use (and expand the data page in the process), instead perform the shift/addition operation when populating the data page and remove the shift from the vDSO code entirely.

2017-05-25ARM64: PCI: Fix struct acpi_pci_root_ops allocation failure pathTimmy Li
Commit 093d24a20442 ("arm64: PCI: Manage controller-specific data on per-controller basis") added code to allocate ACPI PCI root_ops dynamically on a per host bridge basis but failed to update the corresponding memory allocation failure path in pci_acpi_scan_root() leading to a potential memory leakage.

2017-05-17arm64/cpufeature: don't use mutex in bringup pathMark Rutland
Currently, cpus_set_cap() calls static_branch_enable_cpuslocked(), which must take the jump_label mutex. We call cpus_set_cap() in the secondary bringup path, from the idle thread where interrupts are disabled. Taking a mutex in this path "is a NONO" regardless of whether it's contended, and something we must avoid. We didn't spot this until recently, as ___might_sleep() won't warn for this case until all CPUs have been brought up. This patch avoids taking the mutex in the secondary bringup path. The poking of static keys is deferred until enable_cpu_capabilities(), which runs in a suitable context on the boot CPU. To account for the static keys being set later, cpus_have_const_cap() is updated to use another static key to check whether the const cap keys have been initialised, falling back to the caps bitmap until this is the case. This means that users of cpus_have_const_cap() gain should only gain a single additional NOP in the fast path once the const caps are initialised, but should always see the current cap value. The hyp code should never dereference the caps array, since the caps are initialized before we run the module initcall to initialise hyp. A check is added to the hyp init code to document this requirement. This change will sidestep a number of issues when the upcoming hotplug locking rework is merged.

2017-05-15arm64: perf: Ignore exclude_hv when kernel is running in HYPGanapatrao Kulkarni
commit d98ecdaca296 ("arm64: perf: Count EL2 events if the kernel is running in HYP") returns -EINVAL when perf system call perf_event_open is called with exclude_hv != exclude_kernel. This change breaks applications on VHE enabled ARMv8.1 platforms. The issue was observed with HHVM application, which calls perf_event_open with exclude_hv = 1 and exclude_kernel = 0. There is no separate hypervisor privilege level when VHE is enabled, the host kernel runs at EL2. So when VHE is enabled, we should ignore exclude_hv from the application. This behaviour is consistent with PowerPC where the exclude_hv is ignored when the hypervisor is not present and with x86 where this flag is ignored.

2017-05-09arm64: armv8_deprecated: ensure extension of addrMark Rutland
Our compat swp emulation holds the compat user address in an unsigned int, which it passes to __user_swpX_asm(). When a 32-bit value is passed in a register, the upper 32 bits of the register are unknown, and we must extend the value to 64 bits before we can use it as a base address. This patch casts the address to unsigned long to ensure it has been suitably extended, avoiding the potential issue, and silencing a related warning from clang.

2017-05-09arm64: entry: improve data abort handling of tagged pointersKristina Martsenko
When handling a data abort from EL0, we currently zero the top byte of the faulting address, as we assume the address is a TTBR0 address, which may contain a non-zero address tag. However, the address may be a TTBR1 address, in which case we should not zero the top byte. This patch fixes that. The effect is that the full TTBR1 address is passed to the task's signal handler (or printed out in the kernel log). When handling a data abort from EL1, we leave the faulting address intact, as we assume it's either a TTBR1 address or a TTBR0 address with tag 0x00. This is true as far as I'm aware, we don't seem to access a tagged TTBR0 address anywhere in the kernel. Regardless, it's easy to forget about address tags, and code added in the future may not always remember to remove tags from addresses before accessing them. So add tag handling to the EL1 data abort handler as well. This also makes it consistent with the EL0 data abort handler.

2017-05-09arm64: hw_breakpoint: fix watchpoint matching for tagged pointersKristina Martsenko
When we take a watchpoint exception, the address that triggered the watchpoint is found in FAR_EL1. We compare it to the address of each configured watchpoint to see which one was hit. The configured watchpoint addresses are untagged, while the address in FAR_EL1 will have an address tag if the data access was done using a tagged address. The tag needs to be removed to compare the address to the watchpoints. Currently we don't remove it, and as a result can report the wrong watchpoint as being hit (specifically, always either the highest TTBR0 watchpoint or lowest TTBR1 watchpoint). This patch removes the tag.

2017-05-09arm64: traps: fix userspace cache maintenance emulation on a tagged pointerKristina Martsenko
When we emulate userspace cache maintenance in the kernel, we can currently send the task a SIGSEGV even though the maintenance was done on a valid address. This happens if the address has a non-zero address tag, and happens to not be mapped in. When we get the address from a user register, we don't currently remove the address tag before performing cache maintenance on it. If the maintenance faults, we end up in either __do_page_fault, where find_vma can't find the VMA if the address has a tag, or in do_translation_fault, where the tagged address will appear to be above TASK_SIZE. In both cases, the address is not mapped in, and the task is sent a SIGSEGV. This patch removes the tag from the address before using it. With this patch, the fault is handled correctly, the address gets mapped in, and the cache maintenance succeeds. As a second bug, if cache maintenance (correctly) fails on an invalid tagged address, the address gets passed into arm64_notify_segfault, where find_vma fails to find the VMA due to the tag, and the wrong si_code may be sent as part of the siginfo_t of the segfault. With this patch, the correct si_code is sent.

On arm32, the machine model specified in the device tree is printed during boot-up, courtesy of of_flat_dt_match_machine(). On arm64, of_flat_dt_match_machine() is not called, and the machine model information is not available from the kernel log.

2017-04-26arm64: module: split core and init PLT sectionsArd Biesheuvel
The arm64 module PLT code allocates all PLT entries in a single core section, since the overhead of having a separate init PLT section is not justified by the small number of PLT entries usually required for init code. However, the core and init module regions are allocated independently, and there is a corner case where the core region may be allocated from the VMALLOC region if the dedicated module region is exhausted, but the init region, being much smaller, can still be allocated from the module region. This leads to relocation failures if the distance between those regions exceeds 128 MB. (In fact, this corner case is highly unlikely to occur on arm64, but the issue has been observed on ARM, whose module region is much smaller). So split the core and init PLT regions, and name the latter ".init.plt" so it gets allocated along with (and sufficiently close to) the .init sections that it serves. Also, given that init PLT entries may need to be emitted for branches that target the core module, modify the logic that disregards defined symbols to only disregard symbols that are defined in the same section as the relocated branch instruction. Since there may now be two PLT entries associated with each entry in the symbol table, we can no longer hijack the symbol::st_size fields to record the addresses of PLT entries as we emit them for zero-addend relocations. So instead, perform an explicit comparison to check for duplicate entries. Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2017-04-25arm64: pmuv3: handle pmuv3+Mark Rutland
Commit f1b36dcb5c316c27 ("arm64: pmuv3: handle !PMUv3 when probing") is a little too restrictive, and prevents the use of of backwards compatible PMUv3 extenstions, which have a PMUver value other than 1. For instance, ARMv8.1 PMU extensions (as implemented by ThunderX2) are reported with PMUver value 4. Per the usual ID register principles, at least 0x1-0x7 imply a PMUv3-compatible PMU. It's not currently clear whether 0x8-0xe imply the same. For the time being, treat the value as signed, and with 0x1-0x7 treated as meaning PMUv3 is implemented. This may be relaxed by future patches.

2017-04-11arm64: add function to get a cpu's MADT GICC tableMark Rutland
Currently the ACPI parking protocol code needs to parse each CPU's MADT GICC table to extract the mailbox address and so on. Each time we parse a GICC table, we call back to the parking protocol code to parse it. This has been fine so far, but we're about to have more code that needs to extract data from the GICC tables, and adding a callback for each user is going to get unwieldy. Instead, this patch ensures that we stash a copy of each CPU's GICC table at boot time, such that anything needing to parse it can later request it. This will allow for other parsers of GICC, and for simplification to the ACPI parking protocol code. Note that we must store a copy, rather than a pointer, since the core ACPI code temporarily maps/unmaps tables while iterating over them. Since we parse the MADT before we know how many CPUs we have (and hence before we setup the percpu areas), we must use an NR_CPUS sized array.

2017-04-05arm64: kdump: provide /proc/vmcore fileAKASHI Takahiro
Arch-specific functions are added to allow for implementing a crash dump file interface, /proc/vmcore, which can be viewed as a ELF file. A user space tool, like kexec-tools, is responsible for allocating a separate region for the core's ELF header within crash kdump kernel memory and filling it in when executing kexec_load(). Then, its location will be advertised to crash dump kernel via a new device-tree property, "linux,elfcorehdr", and crash dump kernel preserves the region for later use with reserve_elfcorehdr() at boot time. On crash dump kernel, /proc/vmcore will access the primary kernel's memory with copy_oldmem_page(), which feeds the data page-by-page by ioremap'ing it since it does not reside in linear mapping on crash dump kernel. Meanwhile, elfcorehdr_read() is simple as the region is always mapped.

2017-04-04arm64: efi: remove pointless dummy .reloc sectionArd Biesheuvel
The kernel's EFI PE/COFF header contains a dummy .reloc section, and an explanatory comment that claims that this is required for the EFI application loader to accept the Image as a relocatable image (i.e., one that can be loaded at any offset and fixed up in place) This was inherited from the x86 implementation, which has elaborate host tooling to mangle the PE/COFF header post-link time, and which populates the .reloc section with a single dummy base relocation. On ARM, no such tooling exists, and the .reloc section remains empty, and is never even exposed via the BaseRelocationTable directory entry, which is where the PE/COFF loader looks for it. The PE/COFF spec is unclear about relocatable images that do not require any fixups, but the EDK2 implementation, which is the de facto reference for PE/COFF in the UEFI space, clearly does not care, and explicitly mentions (in a comment) that relocatable images with no base relocations are perfectly fine, as long as they don't have the RELOCS_STRIPPED attribute set (which is not the case for our PE/COFF image) So simply remove the .reloc section altogether.
