0fbeb31875 arm64: explicitly mask all exceptions
There are a few places where we want to mask all exceptions. Today we
do this in a piecemeal fashion, typically we expect the caller to
have masked irqs and the arch code masks debug exceptions, ignoring
serror which is probably masked.

Make it clear that 'mask all exceptions' is the intention by adding
helpers to do exactly that.

This will let us unmask SError without having to add 'oh and SError'
to these paths.

8ea41b11ef arm64: assembler: allow adr_this_cpu to use the stack pointer
Given that adr_this_cpu already requires a temp register in addition
to the destination register, tweak the instruction sequence so that sp
may be used as well.

This will simplify switching to per-cpu stacks in subsequent patches. While
this limits the range of adr_this_cpu, to +/-4GiB, we don't currently use
adr_this_cpu in modules, and this is not problematic for the main kernel image.

ed84b4e958 arm64: move non-entry code out of .entry.text
Currently, cpu_switch_to and ret_from_fork both live in .entry.text,
though neither form the critical path for an exception entry.

In subsequent patches, we will require that code in .entry.text is part
of the critical path for exception entry, for which we can assume
certain properties (e.g. the presence of exception regs on the stack).

Neither cpu_switch_to nor ret_from_fork will meet these requirements, so
we must move them out of .entry.text. To ensure that neither are kprobed
after being moved out of .entry.text, we must explicitly blacklist them,
requiring a new NOKPROBE() asm helper.

38fd94b027 arm64: Work around Falkor erratum 1003
The Qualcomm Datacenter Technologies Falkor v1 CPU may allocate TLB entries
using an incorrect ASID when TTBRx_EL1 is being updated. When the erratum
is triggered, page table entries using the new translation table base
address (BADDR) will be allocated into the TLB using the old ASID. All
circumstances leading to the incorrect ASID being cached in the TLB arise
when software writes TTBRx_EL1[ASID] and TTBRx_EL1[BADDR], a memory
operation is in the process of performing a translation using the specific
TTBRx_EL1 being written, and the memory operation uses a translation table
descriptor designated as non-global. EL2 and EL3 code changing the EL1&0
ASID is not subject to this erratum because hardware is prohibited from
performing translations from an out-of-context translation regime.

Consider the following pseudo code.

  write new BADDR and ASID values to TTBRx_EL1

Replacing the above sequence with the one below will ensure that no TLB
entries with an incorrect ASID are used by software.

  write reserved value to TTBRx_EL1[ASID]
  ISB
  write new value to TTBRx_EL1[BADDR]
  ISB
  write new value to TTBRx_EL1[ASID]
  ISB

When the above sequence is used, page table entries using the new BADDR
value may still be incorrectly allocated into the TLB using the reserved
ASID. Yet this will not reduce functionality, since TLB entries incorrectly
tagged with the reserved ASID will never be hit by a later instruction.

4b65a5db36 arm64: Introduce uaccess_{disable,enable} functionality based on TTBR0_EL1
This patch adds the uaccess macros/functions to disable access to user
space by setting TTBR0_EL1 to a reserved zeroed page. Since the value
written to TTBR0_EL1 must be a physical address, for simplicity this
patch introduces a reserved_ttbr0 page at a constant offset from
swapper_pg_dir. The uaccess_disable code uses the ttbr1_el1 value
adjusted by the reserved_ttbr0 offset.

Enabling access to user is done by restoring TTBR0_EL1 with the value
from the struct thread_info ttbr0 variable. Interrupts must be disabled
during the uaccess_ttbr0_enable code to ensure the atomicity of the
thread_info.ttbr0 read and TTBR0_EL1 write. This patch also moves the
get_thread_info asm macro from entry.S to assembler.h for reuse in the
uaccess_ttbr0_* macros.

At the same time, we clean up this_cpu_ptr for consistency. As with
{adr,ldr,str}_l, we change the template to take the destination register
first, and name this dst. Secondly, we rename the macro to adr_this_cpu,
following the scheme of adr_l, and matching the newly added
ldr_this_cpu.

116c81f427 arm64: Work around systems with mismatched cache line sizes
Systems with differing CPU i-cache/d-cache line sizes can cause
problems with the cache management by software when the execution
is migrated from one to another. Usually, the application reads
the cache size on a CPU and then uses that length to perform cache
operations. However, if it gets migrated to another CPU with a smaller
cache line size, things could go completely wrong. To prevent such
cases, always use the smallest cache line size among the CPUs. The
kernel CPU feature infrastructure already keeps track of the safe
value for all CPUID registers including CTR. This patch works around
the problem by :

For kernel, dynamically patch the kernel to read the cache size
from the system wide copy of CTR_EL0.

For applications, trap read accesses to CTR_EL0 (by clearing the SCTLR.UCT)
and emulate the mrs instruction to return the system wide safe value
of CTR_EL0.

For faster access (i.e, avoiding to lookup the system wide value of CTR_EL0
via read_system_reg), we keep track of the pointer to table entry for
CTR_EL0 in the CPU feature infrastructure.

the smallest size possible across all CPUs. This will be done by fetching
the system wide safe value from CPU feature infrastructure.
However the some special users(e.g kexec, hibernate) would need the line
size on the CPU (rather than the system wide), when either the system
wide feature may not be accessible or it is guranteed that the caller
executes with a gurantee of no migration.
Provide another helper which will fetch cache line size on the current CPU.

and the fixup, use offsets relative to the exception table entry values.
Not only does this cut the size of the exception table in half, it is
also a prerequisite for KASLR, since absolute exception table entries
are subject to dynamic relocation, which is incompatible with the sorting
of the exception table that occurs at build time.

This patch also introduces the _ASM_EXTABLE preprocessor macro (which
exists on x86 as well) and its _asm_extable assembly counterpart, as
shorthands to emit exception table entries.

Unfortunately, the current way of using the linker to emit build time
constants into the Image header will no longer work once we switch to
the use of PIE executables. The reason is that such constants are emitted
into the binary using R_AARCH64_ABS64 relocations, which are resolved at
runtime, not at build time, and the places targeted by those relocations
will contain zeroes before that.

So refactor the endian swapping linker script constant generation code so
that it emits the upper and lower 32-bit words separately.

2a2830703a arm64: debug: avoid accessing mdscr_el1 on fault paths where possible
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).

55b89540b0 arm64: compat: correct register concatenation for syscall wrappers
The arm64 port contains wrappers for arm32 syscalls that pass 64-bit
values. These wrappers concatenate the two registers to hold a 64-bit
value in a single X register. On BE, however, the lower and higher
words are swapped.

Create a new assembler macro, regs_to_64, that when on BE systems
swaps the registers in the orr instruction.

3126976be6 arm64: debug: fix mdscr.ss check when enabling debug exceptions
When we take an exception at EL1, we only want to enable debug
exceptions if we're not currently stepping, otherwise we can easily get
stuck in a loop stepping into interrupt handlers.

Unfortunately, the current code tests the wrong bit in the mdscr, so fix
that.

dc637f1fda arm64: move vector entry macro to assembler.h
This macro is also useful to other bits defining vectors (hypervisor
stub, KVM...).

Move it to a common location.
