commit b6ae256afd32f96bec0117175b329d0dd617655e upstream.

On AArch64 you can do a sign-extended load to either a 32-bit or 64-bit
register, and we should only sign extend the register up to the width of
the register as specified in the operation (by using the 32-bit Wn or
64-bit Xn register specifier).

As it turns out, the architecture provides this decoding information in
the SF ("Sixty-Four" -- how cute...) bit.

Let's take advantage of this with the usual 32-bit/64-bit header file
dance and do the right thing on AArch64 hosts.

<title>KVM: arm/arm64: Correct AArch32 SPSR on exception entry</title>

commit 1cfbb484de158e378e8971ac40f3082e53ecca55 upstream.

Confusingly, there are three SPSR layouts that a kernel may need to deal
with:

(1) An AArch64 SPSR_ELx view of an AArch64 pstate
(2) An AArch64 SPSR_ELx view of an AArch32 pstate
(3) An AArch32 SPSR_* view of an AArch32 pstate

When the KVM AArch32 support code deals with SPSR_{EL2,HYP}, it's either
dealing with #2 or #3 consistently. On arm64 the PSR_AA32_* definitions
match the AArch64 SPSR_ELx view, and on arm the PSR_AA32_* definitions
match the AArch32 SPSR_* view.

However, when we inject an exception into an AArch32 guest, we have to
synthesize the AArch32 SPSR_* that the guest will see. Thus, an AArch64
host needs to synthesize layout #3 from layout #2.

This patch adds a new host_spsr_to_spsr32() helper for this, and makes
use of it in the KVM AArch32 support code. For arm64 we need to shuffle
the DIT bit around, and remove the SS bit, while for arm we can use the
value as-is.

I've open-coded the bit manipulation for now to avoid having to rework
the existing PSR_* definitions into PSR64_AA32_* and PSR32_AA32_*
definitions. I hope to perform a more thorough refactoring in future so
that we can handle pstate view manipulation more consistently across the
kernel tree.

commit 3c2483f15499b877ccb53250d88addb8c91da147 upstream.

When KVM injects an exception into a guest, it generates the CPSR value
from scratch, configuring CPSR.{M,A,I,T,E}, and setting all other
bits to zero.

This isn't correct, as the architecture specifies that some CPSR bits
are (conditionally) cleared or set upon an exception, and others are
unchanged from the original context.

This patch adds logic to match the architectural behaviour. To make this
simple to follow/audit/extend, documentation references are provided,
and bits are configured in order of their layout in SPSR_EL2. This
layout can be seen in the diagram on ARM DDI 0487E.a page C5-426.

Note that this code is used by both arm and arm64, and is intended to
fuction with the SPSR_EL2 and SPSR_HYP layouts.

KernelCI reports that bcm2835_defconfig is no longer booting since
commit ac7c3e4ff401 ("compiler: enable CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING
forcibly") (https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/9/26/825).

I also received a regression report from Nicolas Saenz Julienne
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/9/27/263).

This problem has cropped up on bcm2835_defconfig because it enables
CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE. The compiler tends to prefer not inlining
functions with -Os. I was able to reproduce it with other boards and
defconfig files by manually enabling CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE.

The __get_user_check() specifically uses r0, r1, r2 registers.
So, uaccess_save_and_enable() and uaccess_restore() must be inlined.
Otherwise, those register assignments would be entirely dropped,
according to my analysis of the disassembly.

Prior to commit 9012d011660e ("compiler: allow all arches to enable
CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING"), the 'inline' marker was always enough for
inlining functions, except on x86.

Since that commit, all architectures can enable CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING.
So, __always_inline is now the only guaranteed way of forcible inlining.

I added __always_inline to 4 functions in the call-graph from the
__get_user_check() macro.

Today the EFI runtime functions are setup in architecture specific
code (x86 and arm), with the functions themselves living in drivers/xen
as they are not architecture dependent.

As the setup is exactly the same for arm and x86 move the setup to
drivers/xen, too. This at once removes the need to make the single
functions global visible.

The naming of pgtable_page_{ctor,dtor}() seems to have confused a few
people, and until recently arm64 used these erroneously/pointlessly for
other levels of page table.

To make it incredibly clear that these only apply to the PTE level, and to
align with the naming of pgtable_pmd_page_{ctor,dtor}(), let's rename them
to pgtable_pte_page_{ctor,dtor}().

These changes were generated with the following shell script:

----
git grep -lw 'pgtable_page_.tor' | while read FILE; do
    sed -i '{s/pgtable_page_ctor/pgtable_pte_page_ctor/}' $FILE;
    sed -i '{s/pgtable_page_dtor/pgtable_pte_page_dtor/}' $FILE;
done
----

... with the documentation re-flowed to remain under 80 columns, and
whitespace fixed up in macros to keep backslashes aligned.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

<title>arm: use generic mmap top-down layout and brk randomization</title>

arm uses a top-down mmap layout by default that exactly fits the generic
functions, so get rid of arch specific code and use the generic version by
selecting ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_TOPDOWN_MMAP_LAYOUT.

As ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_TOPDOWN_MMAP_LAYOUT selects ARCH_HAS_ELF_RANDOMIZE,
use the generic version of arch_randomize_brk since it also fits.  Note
that this commit also removes the possibility for arm to have elf
randomization and no MMU: without MMU, the security added by randomization
is worth nothing.

Note that it is safe to remove STACK_RND_MASK since it matches the default
value.
