Charlie Jenkins &lt;charlie@rivosinc.com&gt; says:

There have been a couple of reports that using the hint address to
restrict the address returned by mmap hint address has caused issues in
applications. A different solution for restricting addresses returned by
mmap is necessary to avoid breakages.

[Palmer: This also just wasn't doing the right thing in the first place,
as it didn't handle the sv39 cases we were trying to deal with.]

Evan Green &lt;evan@rivosinc.com&gt; says:

The CPUPERF0 hwprobe key was documented and identified in code as
a bitmask value, but its contents were an enum. This produced
incorrect behavior in conjunction with the WHICH_CPUS hwprobe flag.
The first patch in this series fixes the bitmask/enum problem by
creating a new hwprobe key that returns the same data, but is
properly described as a value instead of a bitmask. The second patch
renames the value definitions in preparation for adding vector misaligned
access info. As of this version, the old defines are kept in place to
maintain source compatibility with older userspace programs.

RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_CPUPERF_0 was mistakenly flagged as a bitmask in
hwprobe_key_is_bitmask(), when in reality it was an enum value. This
causes problems when used in conjunction with RISCV_HWPROBE_WHICH_CPUS,
since SLOW, FAST, and EMULATED have values whose bits overlap with
each other. If the caller asked for the set of CPUs that was SLOW or
EMULATED, the returned set would also include CPUs that were FAST.

Introduce a new hwprobe key, RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_MISALIGNED_PERF, which
returns the same values in response to a direct query (with no flags),
but is properly handled as an enumerated value. As a result, SLOW,
FAST, and EMULATED are all correctly treated as distinct values under
the new key when queried with the WHICH_CPUS flag.

Leave the old key in place to avoid disturbing applications which may
have already come to rely on the key, with or without its broken
behavior with respect to the WHICH_CPUS flag.

<title>arm64: errata: Expand speculative SSBS workaround (again)</title>
<updated>2024-08-01T15:11:28+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=adeec61a4723fd3e39da68db4cc4d924e6d7f641'/>
<id>adeec61a4723fd3e39da68db4cc4d924e6d7f641</id>
<content type='text'>
A number of Arm Ltd CPUs suffer from errata whereby an MSR to the SSBS
special-purpose register does not affect subsequent speculative
instructions, permitting speculative store bypassing for a window of
time.

We worked around this for a number of CPUs in commits:

* 7187bb7d0b5c7dfa ("arm64: errata: Add workaround for Arm errata 3194386 and 3312417")
* 75b3c43eab594bfb ("arm64: errata: Expand speculative SSBS workaround")

Since then, similar errata have been published for a number of other Arm
Ltd CPUs, for which the same mitigation is sufficient. This is described
in their respective Software Developer Errata Notice (SDEN) documents:

* Cortex-A76 (MP052) SDEN v31.0, erratum 3324349
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-885749/3100/

* Cortex-A77 (MP074) SDEN v19.0, erratum 3324348
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-1152370/1900/

* Cortex-A78 (MP102) SDEN v21.0, erratum 3324344
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-1401784/2100/

* Cortex-A78C (MP138) SDEN v16.0, erratum 3324346
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-1707916/1600/

* Cortex-A78C (MP154) SDEN v10.0, erratum 3324347
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-2004089/1000/

* Cortex-A725 (MP190) SDEN v5.0, erratum 3456106
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-2832921/0500/

* Cortex-X1 (MP077) SDEN v21.0, erratum 3324344
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-1401782/2100/

* Cortex-X1C (MP136) SDEN v16.0, erratum 3324346
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-1707914/1600/

* Neoverse-N1 (MP050) SDEN v32.0, erratum 3324349
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-885747/3200/

* Neoverse-V1 (MP076) SDEN v19.0, erratum 3324341
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-1401781/1900/

Note that due to the manner in which Arm develops IP and tracks errata,
some CPUs share a common erratum number and some CPUs have multiple
erratum numbers for the same HW issue.

On parts without SB, it is necessary to use ISB for the workaround. The
spec_bar() macro used in the mitigation will expand to a "DSB SY; ISB"
sequence in this case, which is sufficient on all affected parts.

Enable the existing mitigation by adding the relevant MIDRs to
erratum_spec_ssbs_list. The list is sorted alphanumerically (involving
moving Neoverse-V3 after Neoverse-V2) so that this is easy to audit and
potentially extend again in future. The Kconfig text is also updated to
clarify the set of affected parts and the mitigation.

<title>RISC-V: Provide the frequency of time CSR via hwprobe</title>

<content type='text'>
The RISC-V architecture makes a real time counter CSR (via RDTIME
instruction) available for applications in U-mode but there is no
architected mechanism for an application to discover the frequency
the counter is running at. Some applications (e.g., DPDK) use the
time counter for basic performance analysis as well as fine grained
time-keeping.

Add support to the hwprobe system call to export the time CSR
frequency to code running in U-mode.

<title>riscv: Extend sv39 linear mapping max size to 128G</title>

<id>5c8405d763dc2b125b39166bc70be1b8dcc80582</id>
<content type='text'>
This harmonizes all virtual addressing modes which can now all map
(PGDIR_SIZE * PTRS_PER_PGD) / 4 of physical memory.

The RISCV implementation of KASAN requires that the boundary between
shallow mappings are aligned on an 8G boundary. In this case we need
VMALLOC_START to be 8G aligned. So although we only need to move the
start of the linear mapping down by 4GiB to allow 128GiB to be mapped,
we actually move it down by 8GiB (creating a 4GiB hole between the
linear mapping and KASAN shadow space) to maintain the alignment
requirement.

This harmonizes all virtual addressing modes which can now all map
(PGDIR_SIZE * PTRS_PER_PGD) / 4 of physical memory.

The RISCV implementation of KASAN requires that the boundary between
shallow mappings are aligned on an 8G boundary. In this case we need
VMALLOC_START to be 8G aligned. So although we only need to move the
start of the linear mapping down by 4GiB to allow 128GiB to be mapped,
we actually move it down by 8GiB (creating a 4GiB hole between the
linear mapping and KASAN shadow space) to maintain the alignment
requirement.

Pull RISC-V updates from Palmer Dabbelt:

 - Support for various new ISA extensions:
     * The Zve32[xf] and Zve64[xfd] sub-extensios of the vector
       extension
     * Zimop and Zcmop for may-be-operations
     * The Zca, Zcf, Zcd and Zcb sub-extensions of the C extension
