Commit 396244692232 ("arm64: preempt: Provide our own implementation of
asm/preempt.h") extended the preempt count field in struct thread_info
to 64 bits, so that it consists of a 32-bit count plus a 32-bit flag
indicating whether or not the current task needs rescheduling.

Whilst the asm-offsets definition of TSK_TI_PREEMPT was updated to point
to this new field, the assembly usage was left untouched meaning that a
32-bit load from TSK_TI_PREEMPT on a big-endian machine actually returns
the reschedule flag instead of the count.

Whilst we could fix this by pointing TSK_TI_PREEMPT at the count field,
we're actually better off reworking the two assembly users so that they
operate on the whole 64-bit value in favour of inspecting the thread
flags separately in order to determine whether a reschedule is needed.

Enabling 52-bit VAs for userspace is pretty confusing, since it requires
you to select "48-bit" virtual addressing in the Kconfig.

Rework the logic so that 52-bit user virtual addressing is advertised in
the "Virtual address space size" choice, along with some help text to
describe its interaction with Pointer Authentication. The EXPERT-only
option to force all user mappings to the 52-bit range is then made
available immediately below the VA size selection.

<content type='text'>
On arm64 there is optional support for a 52-bit virtual address space.
To exploit this one has to be running with a 64KB page size and be
running on hardware that supports this.

For an arm64 kernel supporting a 48 bit VA with a 64KB page size,
some changes are needed to support a 52-bit userspace:
 * TCR_EL1.T0SZ needs to be 12 instead of 16,
 * TASK_SIZE needs to reflect the new size.

This patch implements the above when the support for 52-bit VAs is
detected at early boot time.

On arm64 userspace addresses translation is controlled by TTBR0_EL1. As
well as userspace, TTBR0_EL1 controls:
 * The identity mapping,
 * EFI runtime code.

It is possible to run a kernel with an identity mapping that has a
larger VA size than userspace (and for this case __cpu_set_tcr_t0sz()
would set TCR_EL1.T0SZ as appropriate). However, when the conditions for
52-bit userspace are met; it is possible to keep TCR_EL1.T0SZ fixed at
12. Thus in this patch, the TCR_EL1.T0SZ size changing logic is
disabled.

<title>arm64: mm: Offset TTBR1 to allow 52-bit PTRS_PER_PGD</title>

Enabling 52-bit VAs on arm64 requires that the PGD table expands from 64
entries (for the 48-bit case) to 1024 entries. This quantity,
PTRS_PER_PGD is used as follows to compute which PGD entry corresponds
to a given virtual address, addr:

pgd_index(addr) -&gt; (addr &gt;&gt; PGDIR_SHIFT) &amp; (PTRS_PER_PGD - 1)

Userspace addresses are prefixed by 0's, so for a 48-bit userspace
address, uva, the following is true:
(uva &gt;&gt; PGDIR_SHIFT) &amp; (1024 - 1) == (uva &gt;&gt; PGDIR_SHIFT) &amp; (64 - 1)

In other words, a 48-bit userspace address will have the same pgd_index
when using PTRS_PER_PGD = 64 and 1024.

Kernel addresses are prefixed by 1's so, given a 48-bit kernel address,
kva, we have the following inequality:
(kva &gt;&gt; PGDIR_SHIFT) &amp; (1024 - 1) != (kva &gt;&gt; PGDIR_SHIFT) &amp; (64 - 1)

In other words a 48-bit kernel virtual address will have a different
pgd_index when using PTRS_PER_PGD = 64 and 1024.

If, however, we note that:
kva = 0xFFFF &lt;&lt; 48 + lower (where lower[63:48] == 0b)
and, PGDIR_SHIFT = 42 (as we are dealing with 64KB PAGE_SIZE)

We can consider:
(kva &gt;&gt; PGDIR_SHIFT) &amp; (1024 - 1) - (kva &gt;&gt; PGDIR_SHIFT) &amp; (64 - 1)
 = (0xFFFF &lt;&lt; 6) &amp; 0x3FF - (0xFFFF &lt;&lt; 6) &amp; 0x3F	// "lower" cancels out
 = 0x3C0

In other words, one can switch PTRS_PER_PGD to the 52-bit value globally
provided that they increment ttbr1_el1 by 0x3C0 * 8 = 0x1E00 bytes when
running with 48-bit kernel VAs (TCR_EL1.T1SZ = 16).

For kernel configuration where 52-bit userspace VAs are possible, this
patch offsets ttbr1_el1 and sets PTRS_PER_PGD corresponding to the
52-bit value.

<title>arm64: Fix minor issues with the dcache_by_line_op macro</title>

<id>33309ecda0070506c49182530abe7728850ebe78</id>
<content type='text'>
The dcache_by_line_op macro suffers from a couple of small problems:

First, the GAS directives that are currently being used rely on
assembler behavior that is not documented, and probably not guaranteed
to produce the correct behavior going forward. As a result, we end up
with some undefined symbols in cache.o:

$ nm arch/arm64/mm/cache.o
         ...
         U civac
         ...
         U cvac
         U cvap
         U cvau

This is due to the fact that the comparisons used to select the
operation type in the dcache_by_line_op macro are comparing symbols
not strings, and even though it seems that GAS is doing the right
thing here (undefined symbols by the same name are equal to each
other), it seems unwise to rely on this.

Second, when patching in a DC CVAP instruction on CPUs that support it,
the fallback path consists of a DC CVAU instruction which may be
affected by CPU errata that require ARM64_WORKAROUND_CLEAN_CACHE.

Solve these issues by unrolling the various maintenance routines and
using the conditional directives that are documented as operating on
strings. To avoid the complexity of nested alternatives, we move the
DC CVAP patching to __clean_dcache_area_pop, falling back to a branch
to __clean_dcache_area_poc if DCPOP is not supported by the CPU.

We currently use a DSB; ISB sequence to inhibit speculation in set_fs().
Whilst this works for current CPUs, future CPUs may implement a new SB
barrier instruction which acts as an architected speculation barrier.

On CPUs that support it, patch in an SB; NOP sequence over the DSB; ISB
sequence and advertise the presence of the new instruction to userspace.

There's no need to treat mismatched cache-line sizes reported by CTR_EL0
differently to any other mismatched fields that we treat as "STRICT" in
the cpufeature code. In both cases we need to trap and emulate EL0
accesses to the register, so drop ARM64_MISMATCHED_CACHE_LINE_SIZE and
rely on ARM64_MISMATCHED_CACHE_TYPE instead.

Add support macros to conditionally yield the NEON (and thus the CPU)
that may be called from the assembler code.

In some cases, yielding the NEON involves saving and restoring a non
trivial amount of context (especially in the CRC folding algorithms),
and so the macro is split into three, and the code in between is only
executed when the yield path is taken, allowing the context to be preserved.
The third macro takes an optional label argument that marks the resume
path after a yield has been performed.

Add support macros to conditionally yield the NEON (and thus the CPU)
that may be called from the assembler code.

We are going to add code to all the NEON crypto routines that will
turn them into non-leaf functions, so we need to manage the stack
frames. To make this less tedious and error prone, add some macros
that take the number of callee saved registers to preserve and the
extra size to allocate in the stack frame (for locals) and emit
the ldp/stp sequences.
