commit 2a6dcb2b5f3e21592ca8dfa198dcce7bec09b020 upstream.

The enable() call for a cpufeature/errata is called using on_each_cpu().
This issues a cross-call IPI to get the work done. Implicitly, this
stashes the running PSTATE in SPSR when the CPU receives the IPI, and
restores it when we return. This means an enable() call can never modify
PSTATE.

To allow PAN to do this, change the on_each_cpu() call to use
stop_machine(). This schedules the work on each CPU which allows
us to modify PSTATE.

This involves changing the protype of all the enable() functions.

enable_cpu_capabilities() is called during boot and enables the feature
on all online CPUs. This path now uses stop_machine(). CPU features for
hotplug'd CPUs are enabled by verify_local_cpu_features() which only
acts on the local CPU, and can already modify the running PSTATE as it
is called from secondary_start_kernel().

<title>arm64: Delay cpu feature capability checks</title>

<id>dbb4e152b8da1f977d9d8cd7e494ab4ee3622f72</id>
<content type='text'>
At the moment we run through the arm64_features capability list for
each CPU and set the capability if one of the CPU supports it. This
could be problematic in a heterogeneous system with differing capabilities.
Delay the CPU feature checks until all the enabled CPUs are up(i.e,
smp_cpus_done(), so that we can make better decisions based on the
overall system capability. Once we decide and advertise the capabilities
the alternatives can be applied. From this state, we cannot roll back
a feature to disabled based on the values from a new hotplugged CPU,
due to the runtime patching and other reasons. So, for all new CPUs,
we need to make sure that they have the established system capabilities.
Failing which, we bring the CPU down, preventing it from turning online.
Once the capabilities are decided, any new CPU booting up goes through
verification to ensure that it has all the enabled capabilities and also
invokes the respective enable() method on the CPU.

The CPU errata checks are not delayed and is still executed per-CPU
to detect the respective capabilities. If we ever come across a non-errata
capability that needs to be checked on each-CPU, we could introduce them via
a new capability table(or introduce a flag), which can be processed per CPU.

The next patch will make the feature checks use the system wide
safe value of a feature register.

NOTE: The enable() methods associated with the capability is scheduled
on all the CPUs (which is the only use case at the moment). If we need
a different type of 'enable()' which only needs to be run once on any CPU,
we should be able to handle that when needed.

<title>arm64: kernel: Add support for Privileged Access Never</title>

<content type='text'>
'Privileged Access Never' is a new arm8.1 feature which prevents
privileged code from accessing any virtual address where read or write
access is also permitted at EL0.

This patch enables the PAN feature on all CPUs, and modifies {get,put}_user
helpers temporarily to permit access.

This will catch kernel bugs where user memory is accessed directly.
'Unprivileged loads and stores' using ldtrb et al are unaffected by PAN.

ARM64 has the yield nop hint which has the intended semantics of
cpu_relax. Implement.

The immediate application is ARM CPU emulators. An emulator can take
advantage of the yield hint to de-prioritise an emulated CPU in favor
of other emulation tasks. QEMU A64 SMP emulation has yield awareness,
and sees a significant boot time performance increase with this change.

<title>arm64: Increase the swiotlb buffer size 64MB</title>

<content type='text'>
With commit 3690951fc6d4 (arm64: Use swiotlb late initialisation), the
swiotlb buffer size is limited to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES. However, there are
platforms with 32-bit only devices that require bounce buffering via
swiotlb. This patch changes the swiotlb initialisation to an early 64MB
memblock allocation. In order to get the swiotlb buffer correctly
allocated (via memblock_virt_alloc_low_nopanic), this patch also defines
ARCH_LOW_ADDRESS_LIMIT to the maximum physical address capable of 32-bit
DMA.

The KSTK_ESP macro is used to determine the user stack pointer for a
given task. In particular, this is used to to report the '[stack]' VMA
in /proc/self/maps, which is used by Android to determine the stack
location for children of the main thread.

This patch fixes the macro to use user_stack_pointer instead of directly
returning sp. This means that we report w13 instead of sp, since the
former is used as the stack pointer when executing in AArch32 state.

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle are:

   - big rtmutex and futex cleanup and robustification from Thomas
     Gleixner
   - mutex optimizations and refinements from Jason Low
   - arch_mutex_cpu_relax() removal and related cleanups
   - smaller lockdep tweaks"
