Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"The big highlight is support for the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE)
which required extensive ABI work to ensure we don't break existing
applications by blowing away their signal stack with the rather large
new vector context (<= 2 kbit per vector register). There's further
work to be done optimising things like exception return, but the ABI
is solid now.
Much of the line count comes from some new PMU drivers we have, but
they're pretty self-contained and I suspect we'll have more of them in
future.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

The vdso tries to check for a NULL res pointer in __kernel_clock_getres,
but only checks the lower 32 bits as is uses CBZ on the W register the
res pointer is held in.
Thus, if the res pointer happened to be aligned to a 4GiB boundary, we'd
spuriously skip storing the timespec to it, while returning a zero error code
to the caller.
Prevent this by checking the whole pointer, using CBZ on the X register
the res pointer is held in.

Recently vDSO support for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW was added in
49eea433b3 ("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.

So far the arm64 clock_gettime() vDSO implementation only supported
the following clocks, falling back to the syscall for the others:
- CLOCK_REALTIME{,_COARSE}
- CLOCK_MONOTONIC{,_COARSE}
This patch adds support for the CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW clock, taking
advantage of the recent refactoring of the vDSO time functions. Like
the non-_COARSE clocks, this only works when the "arch_sys_counter"
clocksource is in use (allowing us to read the current time from the
virtual counter register), otherwise we also have to fall back to the
syscall.
Most of the data is shared with CLOCK_MONOTONIC, and the algorithm is
similar. The reference implementation in kernel/time/timekeeping.c
shows that:
- CLOCK_MONOTONIC = tk->wall_to_monotonic + tk->xtime_sec +
timekeeping_get_ns(&tk->tkr_mono)
- CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW = tk->raw_time + timekeeping_get_ns(&tk->tkr_raw)
- tkr_mono and tkr_raw are identical (in particular, same
clocksource), except these members:
* mult (only mono's multiplier is NTP-adjusted)
* xtime_nsec (always 0 for raw)
Therefore, tk->raw_time and tkr_raw->mult are now also stored in the
vDSO data page.

Time functions are directly implemented in assembly in arm64, and it
is desirable to keep it this way for performance reasons (everything
fits in registers, so that the stack is not used at all). However, the
current implementation is quite difficult to read and understand (even
considering it's assembly). Additionally, due to the structure of
__kernel_clock_gettime, which heavily uses conditional branches to
share code between the different clocks, it is difficult to support a
new clock without making the branches even harder to follow.
This commit completely refactors the structure of clock_gettime (and
gettimeofday along the way) while keeping exactly the same algorithms.
We no longer try to share code; instead, macros provide common
operations. This new approach comes with a number of advantages:
- In clock_gettime, clock implementations are no longer interspersed,
making them much more readable. Additionally, macros only use
registers passed as arguments or reserved with .req, this way it is
easy to make sure that registers are properly allocated. To avoid a
large number of branches in a given execution path, a jump table is
used; a normal execution uses 3 unconditional branches.
- __do_get_tspec has been replaced with 2 macros (get_ts_clock_mono,
get_clock_shifted_nsec) and explicit loading of data from the vDSO
page. Consequently, clock_gettime and gettimeofday are now leaf
functions, and saving x30 (lr) is no longer necessary.
- Variables protected by tb_seq_count are now loaded all at once,
allowing to merge the seqcnt_read macro into seqcnt_check.
- For CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE, removed an unused load of the wall to
monotonic timespec.
- For CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE, removed a few shift instructions.
Obviously, the downside of sharing less code is an increase in code
size. However since the vDSO has its own code page, this does not
really matter, as long as the size of the DSO remains below 4 kB. For
now this should be all right:

arm64/kernel/{vdso,signal}.c include vdso-offsets.h, as well as any
file that includes asm/vdso.h. Therefore, vdso-offsets.h must be
generated before these files are compiled.
The current rules in arm64/kernel/Makefile do not actually enforce
this, because even though $(obj)/vdso is listed as a prerequisite for
vdso-offsets.h, this does not result in the intended effect of
building the vdso subdirectory (before all the other objects). As a
consequence, depending on the order in which the rules are followed,
vdso-offsets.h is updated or not before arm64/kernel/{vdso,signal}.o
are built. The current rules also impose an unnecessary dependency on
vdso-offsets.h for all arm64/kernel/*.o, resulting in unnecessary
rebuilds. This is made obvious when using make -j:
touch arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/gettimeofday.S && make -j$NCPUS arch/arm64/kernel
will sometimes result in none of arm64/kernel/*.o being
rebuilt, sometimes all of them, or even just some of them.
It is quite difficult to ensure that a header is generated before it
is used with recursive Makefiles by using normal rules. Instead,
arch-specific generated headers are normally built in the archprepare
recipe in the arch Makefile (see for instance arch/ia64/Makefile).
Unfortunately, asm-offsets.h is included in gettimeofday.S, and must
therefore be generated before vdso-offsets.h, which is not the case if
archprepare is used. For this reason, a rule run after archprepare has
to be used.
This commit adds rules in arm64/Makefile to build vdso-offsets.h
during the prepare step, ensuring that vdso-offsets.h is generated
before building anything. It also removes the now-unnecessary
dependencies on vdso-offsets.h in arm64/kernel/Makefile. Finally, it
removes the duplication of asm-offsets.h between arm64/kernel/vdso/
and include/generated/ and makes include/generated/vdso-offsets.h a
target in arm64/kernel/vdso/Makefile.

arch/arm64/kernel/{vdso,signal}.c include generated/vdso-offsets.h, and
therefore the symbol offsets must be generated before these files are

This patch removes the arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vdso-offsets.h file

adds a forced dependency check of the vdso-offsets.h file in
arch/arm64/kernel/Makefile which, if not up to date according to the
arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/Makefile rules (depending on vdso.so.dbg), will
trigger the vdso/ subdirectory build and vdso-offsets.h re-generation.
Automatic kbuild dependency rules between kernel/{vdso,signal}.c rules
and vdso-offsets.h will guarantee that the vDSO object is built first,
followed by the generated symbol offsets header file.

Although the arm64 vDSO is cleanly separated by code/data with the
code being read-only in userspace mappings, the code page is still
writable from the kernel. There have been exploits (such as
http://itszn.com/blog/?p=21) that take advantage of this on x86 to go
from a bad kernel write to full root.
Prevent this specific exploit on arm64 by putting the vDSO code page
in read-only memory as well.

When building the kernel with a bare-metal (ELF) toolchain, the -shared
option may not be passed down to collect2, resulting in silent corruption
of the vDSO image (in particular, the DYNAMIC section is omitted).
The effect of this corruption is that the dynamic linker fails to find
the vDSO symbols and libc is instead used for the syscalls that we
intended to optimise (e.g. gettimeofday). Functionally, there is no
issue as the sigreturn trampoline is still intact and located by the
kernel.
This patch fixes the problem by explicitly passing -shared to the linker
when building the vDSO.

The vdso implementation of clock_getres currently returns 0 (success)
whenever a null timespec is provided by the caller, regardless of the
clock id supplied.
This behavior is incorrect. It should fall back to syscall when an
unrecognized clock id is passed, even when the timespec argument is
null. This ensures that clock_getres always returns an error for
invalid clock ids.

Building a kernel with CPU_BIG_ENDIAN fails if there are stale objects
from a !CPU_BIG_ENDIAN build. Due to a missing FORCE prerequisite on an
if_changed rule in the VDSO Makefile, we attempt to link a stale LE
object into the new BE kernel.
According to Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt, FORCE is required for
if_changed rules and forgetting it is a common mistake, so fix it by
'Forcing' the build of vdso. This patch fixes build errors like these:
arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/note.o: compiled for a little endian system and target is big endian
failed to merge target specific data of file arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/note.o
arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/sigreturn.o: compiled for a little endian system and target is big endian
failed to merge target specific data of file arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/sigreturn.o

Andy pointed out that binutils generates additional sections in the vdso
image (e.g. section string table) which, if our .text section gets big
enough, could cross a page boundary and end up screwing up the location
where the kernel expects to put the data page.
This patch solves the issue in the same manner as x86_32, by moving the
data page before the code pages.

When __kernel_clock_gettime is called with a CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE or
CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE clock id, it returns incorrectly to whatever the
caller has placed in x2 ("ret x2" to return from the fast path). Fix
this by saving x30/LR to x2 only in code that will call
__do_get_tspec, restoring x30 afterward, and using a plain "ret" to
return from the routine.
Also: while the resulting tv_nsec value for CLOCK_REALTIME and
CLOCK_MONOTONIC must be computed using intermediate values that are
left-shifted by cs_shift (x12, set by __do_get_tspec), the results for
coarse clocks should be calculated using unshifted values
(xtime_coarse_nsec is in units of actual nanoseconds). The current
code shifts intermediate values by x12 unconditionally, but x12 is
uninitialized when servicing a coarse clock. Fix this by setting x12
to 0 once we know we are dealing with a coarse clock id.

Whilst the text segment for our VDSO is marked as PT_LOAD in the ELF
headers, it is mapped by the kernel and not actually subject to
demand-paging. ld doesn't realise this, and emits a p_align field of 64k
(the maximum supported page size), which conflicts with the load address
picked by the kernel on 4k systems, which will be 4k aligned. This
causes GDB to fail with "Failed to read a valid object file image from
memory" when attempting to load the VDSO.
This patch passes the -n option to ld, which prevents it from aligning
PT_LOAD segments to the maximum page size.

This patch is an arm64 version of ce73ec6db4 ("powerpc/vdso: Remove
redundant locking in update_vsyscall_tz()").
Timezone data is not protected, so the sequence counter is not required
to ensure consistency. Furthermore, having multiple paths updating the
counter leads to a race between update_vsyscall and update_vsyscall_tz,
so remove the timezone sequence counting from both the kernel and the
vdso.

We want to use the virtual counter at EL0, as the physical counter
may not track the current clocksource for guests running under a
hypervisor.
This patch updates the vdso and generic timer driver to use the virtual
counter. The kernel EL2 entry code is also updated to ensure that the
virtual offset is initialised to zero.

Shifting the nanosecond component of the computed timespec early can
lead to sub-ns inaccuracies when using the truncated value as input to
further arithmetic for things like conversions to monotonic time.
This patch defers the timespec shifting until after the final value has
been computed.

In preparation for sub-ns precision in the vdso timespec maths, change
the __do_get_tspec register allocation so that we return the clocksource
shift value instead of the unused xtime tspec.

When returning coarse realtime values from clock_gettime, we must still
check the sequence counter to ensure that the kernel does not update
the vdso datapage whilst we are loading the coarse timespec as this
could potentially result in time appearing to go backwards.
This patch delays the coarse realtime check until after we have loaded
successfully from the vdso datapage. This does mean that we always load
the wtm timespec, but conditionalising the load and adding an extra
sequence test is unlikely to buy us anything other than messy code,
particularly as the sequence test implies a read barrier.

The generic timer clocksource has 56 bits of precision and as such must
be masked appropriately after we have read it. The current mask
generated by a movn instruction is off by 4 bits, so we accidentally
include the top 4 bits in the final value.
This patch fixes the broken mask.
