ARM: spectre-v2: per-CPU vtables to work around big.Little systems

2019-11-10T10:21:37+00:00

Commit 383fb3ee8024d596f488d2dbaf45e572897acbdb upstream.

In big.Little systems, some CPUs require the Spectre workarounds in
paths such as the context switch, but other CPUs do not.  In order
to handle these differences, we need per-CPU vtables.

We are unable to use the kernel's per-CPU variables to support this
as per-CPU is not initialised at times when we need access to the
vtables, so we have to use an array indexed by logical CPU number.

We use an array-of-pointers to avoid having function pointers in
the kernel's read/write .data section.

Note: Added include of linux/slab.h in arch/arm/smp.c.

ARM: add PROC_VTABLE and PROC_TABLE macros

2019-11-10T10:21:37+00:00

Commit e209950fdd065d2cc46e6338e47e52841b830cba upstream.

Allow the way we access members of the processor vtable to be changed
at compile time.  We will need to move to per-CPU vtables to fix the
Spectre variant 2 issues on big.Little systems.

However, we have a couple of calls that do not need the vtable
treatment, and indeed cause a kernel warning due to the (later) use
of smp_processor_id(), so also introduce the PROC_TABLE macro for
these which always use CPU 0's function pointers.

ARM: split out processor lookup

2019-11-10T10:21:36+00:00

Commit 65987a8553061515b5851b472081aedb9837a391 upstream.

Split out the lookup of the processor type and associated error handling
from the rest of setup_processor() - we will need to use this in the
secondary CPU bringup path for big.Little Spectre variant 2 mitigation.

ARM: 8415/1: early fixmap support for earlycon

2015-08-18T13:00:29+00:00

Add early fixmap support, initially to support permanent, fixed
mapping support for early console. A temporary, early pte is
created which is migrated to a permanent mapping in paging_init.
This is also needed since the attributes may change as the memory
types are initialized. The 3MiB range of fixmap spans two pte
tables, but currently only one pte is created for early fixmap
support.

Re-add FIX_KMAP_BEGIN to the index calculation in highmem.c since
the index for kmap does not start at zero anymore. This reverts
4221e2e6b316 ("ARM: 8031/1: fixmap: remove FIX_KMAP_BEGIN and
FIX_KMAP_END") to some extent.

ARM: migrate to common PSCI client code

2015-08-03T14:38:39+00:00

Now that the common PSCI client code has been factored out to
drivers/firmware, and made safe for 32-bit use, move the 32-bit ARM code
over to it. This results in a moderate reduction of duplicated lines,
and will prevent further duplication as the PSCI client code is updated
for PSCI 1.0 and beyond.

The two legacy platform users of the PSCI invocation code are updated to
account for interface changes. In both cases the power state parameter
(which is constant) is now generated using macros, so that the
pack/unpack logic can be killed in preparation for PSCI 1.0 power state
changes.

ARM: 8392/3: smp: Only expose /sys/.../cpuX/online if hotpluggable

2015-07-31T17:58:30+00:00

Writes to /sys/.../cpuX/online fail if we determine the platform
doesn't support hotplug for that CPU. Furthermore, if the cpu_die
op isn't specified the system hangs when we try to offline a CPU
and it comes right back online unexpectedly. Let's figure this
stuff out before we make the sysfs nodes so that the online file
doesn't even exist if it isn't (at least sometimes) possible to
hotplug the CPU.

Add a new 'cpu_can_disable' op and repoint all 'cpu_disable'
implementations at it because all implementers use the op to
indicate if a CPU can be hotplugged or not in a static fashion.
With PSCI we may need to add a 'cpu_disable' op so that the
secure OS can be migrated off the CPU we're trying to hotplug.
In this case, the 'cpu_can_disable' op will indicate that all
CPUs are hotpluggable by returning true, but the 'cpu_disable' op
will make a PSCI migration call and occasionally fail, denying
the hotplug of a CPU. This shouldn't be any worse than x86 where
we may indicate that all CPUs are hotpluggable but occasionally
we can't offline a CPU due to check_irq_vectors_for_cpu_disable()
failing to find a CPU to move vectors to.
