commit eba2591d99d1f14a04c8a8a845ab0795b93f5646 upstream.

Instead of directly dereferencing page tables entries, which can cause
issues (see commit 20a004e7b017 ("arm64: mm: Use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE when
accessing page tables"), let's introduce new functions to get the
pud/p4d/pgd entries (the pte and pmd versions already exist).

Note that arm pgd_t is actually an array so pgdp_get() is defined as a
macro to avoid a build error.

Those new functions will be used in subsequent commits by the riscv
architecture.

<title>ARM: 9324/1: fix get_user() broken with veneer</title>

commit 24d3ba0a7b44c1617c27f5045eecc4f34752ab03 upstream.

The 32-bit ARM kernel stops working if the kernel grows to the point
where veneers for __get_user_* are created.

AAPCS32 [1] states, "Register r12 (IP) may be used by a linker as a
scratch register between a routine and any subroutine it calls. It
can also be used within a routine to hold intermediate values between
subroutine calls."

However, bl instructions buried within the inline asm are unpredictable
for compilers; hence, "ip" must be added to the clobber list.

This becomes critical when veneers for __get_user_* are created because
veneers use the ip register since commit 02e541db0540 ("ARM: 8323/1:
force linker to use PIC veneers").

commit 166ce846dc5974a266f6c2a2896dbef5425a6f21 upstream.

On v5 and lower CPUs we can't provide MDWE protection, so ensure we fail
any attempt to enable it via prctl(PR_SET_MDWE).

Previously such an attempt would misleadingly succeed, leading to any
subsequent mmap(PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE) or execve() failing unconditionally
(the latter somewhat violently via force_fatal_sig(SIGSEGV) due to
READ_IMPLIES_EXEC).

<title>work around gcc bugs with 'asm goto' with outputs</title>

commit 4356e9f841f7fbb945521cef3577ba394c65f3fc upstream.

We've had issues with gcc and 'asm goto' before, and we created a
'asm_volatile_goto()' macro for that in the past: see commits
3f0116c3238a ("compiler/gcc4: Add quirk for 'asm goto' miscompilation
bug") and a9f180345f53 ("compiler/gcc4: Make quirk for
asm_volatile_goto() unconditional").

Then, much later, we ended up removing the workaround in commit
43c249ea0b1e ("compiler-gcc.h: remove ancient workaround for gcc PR
58670") because we no longer supported building the kernel with the
affected gcc versions, but we left the macro uses around.

Now, Sean Christopherson reports a new version of a very similar
problem, which is fixed by re-applying that ancient workaround.  But the
problem in question is limited to only the 'asm goto with outputs'
cases, so instead of re-introducing the old workaround as-is, let's
rename and limit the workaround to just that much less common case.

It looks like there are at least two separate issues that all hit in
this area:

 (a) some versions of gcc don't mark the asm goto as 'volatile' when it
     has outputs:

        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=98619
        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110420

     which is easy to work around by just adding the 'volatile' by hand.

 (b) Internal compiler errors:

        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110422

     which are worked around by adding the extra empty 'asm' as a
     barrier, as in the original workaround.

but the problem Sean sees may be a third thing since it involves bad
code generation (not an ICE) even with the manually added 'volatile'.

but the same old workaround works for this case, even if this feels a
bit like voodoo programming and may only be hiding the issue.

[ Upstream commit 7a92fc8b4d20680e4c20289a670d8fca2d1f2c1b ]

The pcpu setup when using the page allocator sets up a new vmalloc
mapping very early in the boot process, so early that it cannot use the
flush_cache_vmap() function which may depend on structures not yet
initialized (for example in riscv, we currently send an IPI to flush
other cpus TLB).

But on some architectures, we must call flush_cache_vmap(): for example,
in riscv, some uarchs can cache invalid TLB entries so we need to flush
the new established mapping to avoid taking an exception.

So fix this by introducing a new function flush_cache_vmap_early() which
is called right after setting the new page table entry and before
accessing this new mapping. This new function implements a local flush
tlb on riscv and is no-op for other architectures (same as today).

[ Upstream commit dccf78d39f1069a5ddf4328bf0c97aa5f2f4296e ]

Ignat Korchagin complained that a potential config regression was
introduced by commit 89cde455915f ("kexec: consolidate kexec and crash
options into kernel/Kconfig.kexec").  Before the commit, CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP
has no dependency on CONFIG_KEXEC.  After the commit, CRASH_DUMP selects
KEXEC.  That enforces system to have CONFIG_KEXEC=y as long as
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=Y which people may not want.

In Ignat's case, he sets CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y, CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y and
CONFIG_KEXEC=n because kexec_load interface could have security issue if
kernel/initrd has no chance to be signed and verified.

CRASH_DUMP has select of KEXEC because Eric, author of above commit, met a
LKP report of build failure when posting patch of earlier version.  Please
see below link to get detail of the LKP report:

In fact, that LKP report is triggered because arm's &lt;asm/kexec.h&gt; is
wrapped in CONFIG_KEXEC ifdeffery scope.  That is wrong.  CONFIG_KEXEC
controls the enabling/disabling of kexec_load interface, but not kexec
feature.  Removing the wrongly added CONFIG_KEXEC ifdeffery scope in
&lt;asm/kexec.h&gt; of arm allows us to drop the select KEXEC for CRASH_DUMP.
Meanwhile, change arch/arm/kernel/Makefile to let machine_kexec.o
relocate_kernel.o depend on KEXEC_CORE.

[ Upstream commit dccf78d39f1069a5ddf4328bf0c97aa5f2f4296e ]

Ignat Korchagin complained that a potential config regression was
introduced by commit 89cde455915f ("kexec: consolidate kexec and crash
options into kernel/Kconfig.kexec").  Before the commit, CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP
has no dependency on CONFIG_KEXEC.  After the commit, CRASH_DUMP selects
KEXEC.  That enforces system to have CONFIG_KEXEC=y as long as
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=Y which people may not want.

In Ignat's case, he sets CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y, CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y and
CONFIG_KEXEC=n because kexec_load interface could have security issue if
kernel/initrd has no chance to be signed and verified.

CRASH_DUMP has select of KEXEC because Eric, author of above commit, met a
LKP report of build failure when posting patch of earlier version.  Please
see below link to get detail of the LKP report:

<title>ARM: 9320/1: fix stack depot IRQ stack filter</title>

[ Upstream commit b0150014878c32197cfa66e3e2f79e57f66babc0 ]

Place IRQ handlers such as gic_handle_irq() in the irqentry section even
if FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER is not enabled.  Without this, the stack
depot's filter_irq_stacks() does not correctly filter out IRQ stacks in
those configurations, which hampers deduplication and eventually leads
to "Stack depot reached limit capacity" splats with KASAN.

A similar fix was done for arm64 in commit f6794950f0e5ba37e3bbed
("arm64: set __exception_irq_entry with __irq_entry as a default").

[ Upstream commit 403edfa436286b21f5ffe6856ae5b36396e8966c ]

The driver used to truncate several 64-bit registers such as PMCEID[n]
registers used to describe whether architectural and microarchitectural
events in range 0x4000-0x401f exist. Due to discarding the bits, the
driver made the events invisible, even if they existed.

Moreover, PMCCFILTR and PMCR registers have additional bits in the upper
32 bits. This patch makes them available although they aren't currently
used. Finally, functions handling PMXEVCNTR and PMXEVTYPER registers are
removed as they not being used at all.

[ Upstream commit 399da29ff5eb3f675c71423bec4cf2208f218576 ]

Configuring VMSPLIT_2G + LPAE on Raspberry Pi 4 leads to SWIOTLB
buffer allocation beyond platform dma_zone_size of SZ_1G, which
results in broken SD card boot.

So fix this be setting ARCH_LOW_ADDRESS_LIMIT in CONFIG_ZONE_DMA
case.
