Converts the arm64 code to use the new generic code, which simply consists

e401b7c2c6 arm64, kaslr: export offset in VMCOREINFO ELF notes
Include KASLR offset in arm64 VMCOREINFO ELF notes to assist in
debugging. vmcore parsing in user-space already expects this value in
the notes and we are providing it for portability of those existing
tools with x86.

Ideally we would like core code to do this (so that way this
information won't be missed when an architecture adds KASLR support),
but mips has CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE, and doesn't provide kaslr_offset(),
so I am not sure if this is needed for mips (and other such similar arch
cases in future). So, lets keep this architecture specific for now.

As an example of a user-space use-case, consider the
makedumpfile user-space utility which will need fixup to use this
KASLR offset to work with cases where we need to find a way to
translate symbol address from vmlinux to kernel run time address
in case of KASLR boot on arm64.

I have already submitted the makedumpfile user-space patch upstream
and the maintainer has suggested to wait for the kernel changes to be
included (see [0]).

I tested this on my qualcomm amberwing board both for KASLR and
non-KASLR boot cases:

Without this patch:
   # cat > scrub.conf << EOF
   [vmlinux]
   erase jiffies
   erase init_task.utime
   for tsk in init_task.tasks.next within task_struct:tasks
       erase tsk.utime
   endfor
   EOF

  # makedumpfile --split -d 31 -x vmlinux --config scrub.conf vmcore dumpfile_{1,2,3}
  readpage_elf: Attempt to read non-existent page at 0xffffa8a5bf180000.

  address.
  readmem: type_addr: 0, addr:ffff0000092a542c, size:390
  check_release: Can't get the address of system_utsname

After this patch check_release() is ok, and also we are able to erase
symbol from vmcore (I checked this with kernel 4.18.0-rc4+):

  # makedumpfile --split -d 31 -x vmlinux --config scrub.conf vmcore dumpfile_{1,2,3}

9d2dcc8fc6 arm64: perf: Add cap_user_time aarch64
It is useful to get the running time of a thread.  Doing so in an
efficient manner can be important for performance of user applications.
Avoiding system calls in `clock_gettime` when handling
CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID is important.  Other clocks are handled in the
VDSO, but CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID falls back on the system call.

CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID is not handled in the VDSO since it would have
costs associated with maintaining updated user space accessible time
offsets.  These offsets have to be updated everytime the a thread is
scheduled/descheduled.  However, for programs regularly checking the
running time of a thread, this is a performance improvement.

This patch takes a middle ground, and adds support for cap_user_time an
optional feature of the perf_event API.  This way costs are only
incurred when the perf_event api is enabled.  This is done the same way
as it is in x86.

Ultimately this allows calculating the thread running time in userspace
on aarch64 as follows (adapted from perf_event_open manpage):

u32 seq, time_mult, time_shift;
u64 running, count, time_offset, quot, rem, delta;
struct perf_event_mmap_page *pc;
pc = buf;  // buf is the perf event mmaped page as documented in the API.

if (pc->cap_usr_time) {
    do {
        seq = pc->lock;
        barrier();
        running = pc->time_running;

        count = readCNTVCT_EL0();  // Read ARM hardware clock.
        time_offset = pc->time_offset;
        time_mult   = pc->time_mult;
        time_shift  = pc->time_shift;

        barrier();
    } while (pc->lock != seq);

    quot = (count >> time_shift);
    rem = count & (((u64)1 << time_shift) - 1);
    delta = time_offset + quot * time_mult +
            ((rem * time_mult) >> time_shift);

    running += delta;
    // running now has the current nanosecond level thread time.
}

Summary of changes in the patch:

For aarch64 systems, make arch_perf_update_userpage update the timing
information stored in the perf_event page.  Requiring the following
calculations:
  - Calculate the appropriate time_mult, and time_shift factors to convert
    ticks to nano seconds for the current clock frequency.
  - Adjust the mult and shift factors to avoid shift factors of 32 bits.
    (possibly unnecessary)
  - The time_offset userspace should apply when doing calculations:
    negative the current sched time (now), because time_running and
    time_enabled fields of the perf_event page have just been updated.
Toggle bits to appropriate values:
  - Enable cap_user_time

Commit 3b8c9f1cdf ("arm64: IPI each CPU after invalidating the I-cache

efd112353b arm64: svc: Ensure hardirq tracing is updated before return
We always run userspace with interrupts enabled, but with the recent
conversion of the syscall entry/exit code to C, we don't inform the
hardirq tracing code that interrupts are about to become enabled by
virtue of restoring the EL0 SPSR.

This patch ensures that trace_hardirqs_on() is called on the syscall
return path when we return to the assembly code with interrupts still
disabled.

0b3e336601 arm64: Add support for STACKLEAK gcc plugin
This adds support for the STACKLEAK gcc plugin to arm64 by implementing
stackleak_check_alloca(), based heavily on the x86 version, and adding the
two helpers used by the stackleak common code: current_top_of_stack() and
on_thread_stack(). The stack erasure calls are made at syscall returns.
Additionally, this disables the plugin in hypervisor and EFI stub code,
which are out of scope for the protection.

	Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
	Rebooting in 10 seconds..

(diagnosis)
* This fault is a data abort, alignment fault (ESR=0x96000021)
  during reading out ACPI table.
* Initial ACPI tables are normally stored in system ram and marked as
  "ACPI Reclaim memory" by the firmware.
* After the commit f56ab9a5b7 ("efi/arm: Don't mark ACPI reclaim
  memory as MEMBLOCK_NOMAP"), those regions are differently handled
  as they are "memblock-reserved", without NOMAP bit.
* So they are now excluded from device tree's "usable-memory-range"
  which kexec-tools determines based on a current view of /proc/iomem.
* When crash dump kernel boots up, it tries to accesses ACPI tables by
  mapping them with ioremap(), not ioremap_cache(), in acpi_os_ioremap()
  since they are no longer part of mapped system ram.
* Given that ACPI accessor/helper functions are compiled in without
  unaligned access support (ACPI_MISALIGNMENT_NOT_SUPPORTED),
  any unaligned access to ACPI tables can cause a fatal panic.

With this patch, acpi_os_ioremap() always honors memory attribute
information provided by the firmware (EFI) and retaining cacheability
allows the kernel safe access to ACPI tables.

50d7ba36b9 arm64: export memblock_reserve()d regions via /proc/iomem
There has been some confusion around what is necessary to prevent kexec
overwriting important memory regions. memblock: reserve, or nomap?
Only memblock nomap regions are reported via /proc/iomem, kexec's
user-space doesn't know about memblock_reserve()d regions.

Until commit f56ab9a5b7 ("efi/arm: Don't mark ACPI reclaim memory
as MEMBLOCK_NOMAP") the ACPI tables were nomap, now they are reserved
and thus possible for kexec to overwrite with the new kernel or initrd.
But this was always broken, as the UEFI memory map is also reserved
and not marked as nomap.

Exporting both nomap and reserved memblock types is a nuisance as
they live in different memblock structures which we can't walk at
the same time.

Take a second walk over memblock.reserved and add new 'reserved'
subnodes for the memblock_reserved() regions that aren't already
described by the existing code. (e.g. Kernel Code)

We use reserve_region_with_split() to find the gaps in existing named
regions. This handles the gap between 'kernel code' and 'kernel data'
which is memblock_reserve()d, but already partially described by
request_standard_resources(). e.g.:
| 80000000-dfffffff : System RAM
|   80080000-80ffffff : Kernel code
|   81000000-8158ffff : reserved
|   81590000-8237efff : Kernel data
|   a0000000-dfffffff : Crash kernel
| e00f0000-f949ffff : System RAM

reserve_region_with_split needs kzalloc() which isn't available when
request_standard_resources() is called, use an initcall.

4378a7d4be arm64: implement syscall wrappers
To minimize the risk of userspace-controlled values being used under
speculation, this patch adds pt_regs based syscall wrappers for arm64,
which pass the minimum set of required userspace values to syscall
implementations. For each syscall, a wrapper which takes a pt_regs
argument is automatically generated, and this extracts the arguments
before calling the "real" syscall implementation.

Each syscall has three functions generated:

* __do_<compat_>sys_<name> is the "real" syscall implementation, with
  the expected prototype.

* __se_<compat_>sys_<name> is the sign-extension/narrowing wrapper,
  inherited from common code. This takes a series of long parameters,
  casting each to the requisite types required by the "real" syscall
  implementation in __do_<compat_>sys_<name>.

  This wrapper *may* not be necessary on arm64 given the AAPCS rules on
  unused register bits, but it seemed safer to keep the wrapper for now.

* __arm64_<compat_>_sys_<name> takes a struct pt_regs pointer, and
  extracts *only* the relevant register values, passing these on to the
  __se_<compat_>sys_<name> wrapper.

The syscall invocation code is updated to handle the calling convention
required by __arm64_<compat_>_sys_<name>, and passes a single struct
pt_regs pointer.

The compiler can fold the syscall implementation and its wrappers, such
that the overhead of this approach is minimized.

Note that we play games with sys_ni_syscall(). It can't be defined with
SYSCALL_DEFINE0() because we must avoid the possibility of error
injection. Additionally, there are a couple of locations where we need
to call it from C code, and we don't (currently) have a
ksys_ni_syscall().  While it has no wrapper, passing in a redundant
pt_regs pointer is benign per the AAPCS.

When ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_WRAPPER is selected, no prototype is defines for
sys_ni_syscall(). Since we need to treat it differently for in-kernel
calls and the syscall tables, the prototype is defined as-required.

The wrappers are largely the same as their x86 counterparts, but
simplified as we don't have a variety of compat calling conventions that
require separate stubs. Unlike x86, we have some zero-argument compat
syscalls, and must define COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE0() to ensure that these
are also given an __arm64_compat_sys_ prefix.

55f849265a arm64: convert compat wrappers to C
In preparation for converting to pt_regs syscall wrappers, convert our
existing compat wrappers to C. This will allow the pt_regs wrappers to
be automatically generated, and will allow for the compat register
manipulation to be folded in with the pt_regs accesses.

To avoid confusion with the upcoming pt_regs wrappers and existing
compat wrappers provided by core code, the C wrappers are renamed to
compat_sys_aarch32_<syscall>.

With the assembly wrappers gone, we can get rid of entry32.S and the
associated boilerplate.

Note that these must call the ksys_* syscall entry points, as the usual
sys_* entry points will be modified to take a single pt_regs pointer
argument.

4141c857fd arm64: convert raw syscall invocation to C
As a first step towards invoking syscalls with a pt_regs argument,
convert the raw syscall invocation logic to C. We end up with a bit more
register shuffling, but the unified invocation logic means we can unify
the tracing paths, too.

Previously, assembly had to open-code calls to ni_sys() when the system
call number was out-of-bounds for the relevant syscall table. This case
is now handled by invoke_syscall(), and the assembly no longer need to
handle this case explicitly. This allows the tracing paths to be
simplified and unified, as we no longer need the __ni_sys_trace path and
the __sys_trace_return label.

This only converts the invocation of the syscall. The rest of the
syscall triage and tracing is left in assembly for now, and will be
converted in subsequent patches.

3085e1645e arm64: remove sigreturn wrappers
The arm64 sigreturn* syscall handlers are non-standard. Rather than
taking a number of user parameters in registers as per the AAPCS,
they expect the pt_regs as their sole argument.

To make this work, we override the syscall definitions to invoke
wrappers written in assembly, which mov the SP into x0, and branch to
their respective C functions.

On other architectures (such as x86), the sigreturn* functions take no
argument and instead use current_pt_regs() to acquire the user
registers. This requires less boilerplate code, and allows for other
features such as interposing C code in this path.

This patch takes the same approach for arm64.

if (system_supports_sve() && some_condition)
	sve_user_disable();

... empty stubs are provided when support for SVE is not enabled. Note
that system_supports_sve() contains as IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARM64_SVE), so
the sve_user_disable() call should be optimized away entirely when
CONFIG_ARM64_SVE is not selected.

To ensure that this is the case, the stub definitions contain a
BUILD_BUG(), as we do for other stubs for which calls should always be
optimized away when the relevant config option is not selected.

At the same time, the include list of <asm/fpsimd.h> is sorted while

PMUv3 allows chaining a pair of adjacent 32-bit counters, effectively
forming a 64-bit counter. The low/even counter is programmed to count
the event of interest, and the high/odd counter is programmed to count
the CHAIN event, taken when the low/even counter overflows.

For CPU cycles, when 64bit mode is requested, the cycle counter
is used in 64bit mode. If the cycle counter is not available,
falls back to chaining.

of clear_event_idx() and add it for exisiting backends.
This will be useful for adding the chained event support, where
we leave the event idx maintenance to the backend.

Also, when an event is removed from the PMU, reset the hw.idx
to indicate that a counter is not allocated for this event,
to help the backends do better checks. This will be also used
for the chain counter support.

e189624916 arm64: numa: rework ACPI NUMA initialization
Current ACPI ARM64 NUMA initialization code in

acpi_numa_gicc_affinity_init()

carries out NUMA nodes creation and cpu<->node mappings at the same time
in the arch backend so that a single SRAT walk is needed to parse both
pieces of information.  This implies that the cpu<->node mappings must
be stashed in an array (sized NR_CPUS) so that SMP code can later use
the stashed values to avoid another SRAT table walk to set-up the early
cpu<->node mappings.

If the kernel is configured with a NR_CPUS value less than the actual
processor entries in the SRAT (and MADT), the logic in
acpi_numa_gicc_affinity_init() is broken in that the cpu<->node mapping
is only carried out (and stashed for future use) only for a number of
SRAT entries up to NR_CPUS, which do not necessarily correspond to the
possible cpus detected at SMP initialization in
acpi_map_gic_cpu_interface() (ie MADT and SRAT processor entries order
is not enforced), which leaves the kernel with broken cpu<->node
mappings.

Furthermore, given the current ACPI NUMA code parsing logic in
acpi_numa_gicc_affinity_init(), PXM domains for CPUs that are not parsed
because they exceed NR_CPUS entries are not mapped to NUMA nodes (ie the
PXM corresponding node is not created in the kernel) leaving the system
with a broken NUMA topology.

Rework the ACPI ARM64 NUMA initialization process so that the NUMA
nodes creation and cpu<->node mappings are decoupled. cpu<->node
mappings are moved to SMP initialization code (where they are needed),
at the cost of an extra SRAT walk so that ACPI NUMA mappings can be
batched before being applied, fixing current parsing pitfalls.

e48d53a91f arm64: KVM: Add support for Stage-2 control of memory types and cacheability
Up to ARMv8.3, the combinaison of Stage-1 and Stage-2 attributes
results in the strongest attribute of the two stages.  This means
that the hypervisor has to perform quite a lot of cache maintenance
just in case the guest has some non-cacheable mappings around.

ARMv8.4 solves this problem by offering a different mode (FWB) where
Stage-2 has total control over the memory attribute (this is limited
to systems where both I/O and instruction fetches are coherent with
the dcache). This is achieved by having a different set of memory
attributes in the page tables, and a new bit set in HCR_EL2.

On such a system, we can then safely sidestep any form of dcache
management.
