[ Upstream commit c0cda3b8ee6b4b6851b2fd8b6db91fd7b0e2524a ]

We issue the enable() call back for all CPU hwcaps capabilities
available on the system, on all the CPUs. So far we have ignored
the argument passed to the call back, which had a prototype to
accept a "void *" for use with on_each_cpu() and later with
stop_machine(). However, with commit 0a0d111d40fd1
("arm64: cpufeature: Pass capability structure to -&gt;enable callback"),
there are some users of the argument who wants the matching capability
struct pointer where there are multiple matching criteria for a single
capability. Clean up the declaration of the call back to make it clear.

 1) Renamed to cpu_enable(), to imply taking necessary actions on the
    called CPU for the entry.
 2) Pass const pointer to the capability, to allow the call back to
    check the entry. (e.,g to check if any action is needed on the CPU)
 3) We don't care about the result of the call back, turning this to
    a void.

<title>arm64: Remove useless UAO IPI and describe how this gets enabled</title>

commit c8b06e3fddddaae1a87ed479edcb8b3d85caecc7 upstream.

Since its introduction, the UAO enable call was broken, and useless.
commit 2a6dcb2b5f3e ("arm64: cpufeature: Schedule enable() calls instead
of calling them via IPI"), fixed the framework so that these calls
are scheduled, so that they can modify PSTATE.

Now it is just useless. Remove it. UAO is enabled by the code patching
which causes get_user() and friends to use the 'ldtr' family of
instructions. This relies on the PSTATE.UAO bit being set to match
addr_limit, which we do in uao_thread_switch() called via __switch_to().

All that is needed to enable UAO is patch the code, and call schedule().
__apply_alternatives_multi_stop() calls stop_machine() when it modifies
the kernel text to enable the alternatives, (including the UAO code in
uao_thread_switch()). Once stop_machine() has finished __switch_to() is
called to reschedule the original task, this causes PSTATE.UAO to be set
appropriately. An explicit enable() call is not needed.

commit d263119387de9975d2acba1dfd3392f7c5979c18 upstream.

Currently, compat tasks running on arm64 can allocate memory up to
TASK_SIZE_32 (UL(0x100000000)).

This means that mmap() allocations, if we treat them as returning an
array, are not compliant with the sections 6.5.8 of the C standard
(C99) which states that: "If the expression P points to an element of
an array object and the expression Q points to the last element of the
same array object, the pointer expression Q+1 compares greater than P".

Redefine TASK_SIZE_32 to address the issue.

<title>arm64: Make USER_DS an inclusive limit</title>

From: Robin Murphy &lt;robin.murphy@arm.com&gt;

commit 51369e398d0d33e8f524314e672b07e8cf870e79 upstream.

Currently, USER_DS represents an exclusive limit while KERNEL_DS is
inclusive. In order to do some clever trickery for speculation-safe
masking, we need them both to behave equivalently - there aren't enough
bits to make KERNEL_DS exclusive, so we have precisely one option. This
also happens to correct a longstanding false negative for a range
ending on the very top byte of kernel memory.

Mark Rutland points out that we've actually got the semantics of
addresses vs. segments muddled up in most of the places we need to
amend, so shuffle the {USER,KERNEL}_DS definitions around such that we
can correct those properly instead of just pasting "-1"s everywhere.

commit eef94a3d09aab437c8c254de942d8b1aa76455e2 upstream.

ILP32 series [1] introduces the dependency on &lt;asm/is_compat.h&gt; for
TASK_SIZE macro. Which in turn requires &lt;asm/thread_info.h&gt;, and
&lt;asm/thread_info.h&gt; include &lt;asm/memory.h&gt;, giving a circular dependency,
because TASK_SIZE is currently located in &lt;asm/memory.h&gt;.

In other architectures, TASK_SIZE is defined in &lt;asm/processor.h&gt;, and
moving TASK_SIZE there fixes the problem.

<title>arm64: cpufeature: Schedule enable() calls instead of calling them via IPI</title>

<content type='text'>
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: trap userspace "dc cvau" cache operation on errata-affected core</title>

<content type='text'>
The ARM errata 819472, 826319, 827319 and 824069 for affected
Cortex-A53 cores demand to promote "dc cvau" instructions to
"dc civac". Since we allow userspace to also emit those instructions,
we should make sure that "dc cvau" gets promoted there too.
So lets grasp the nettle here and actually trap every userland cache
maintenance instruction once we detect at least one affected core in
the system.
We then emulate the instruction by executing it on behalf of userland,
promoting "dc cvau" to "dc civac" on the way and injecting access
fault back into userspace.

The ARM errata 819472, 826319, 827319 and 824069 for affected
Cortex-A53 cores demand to promote "dc cvau" instructions to
"dc civac". Since we allow userspace to also emit those instructions,
we should make sure that "dc cvau" gets promoted there too.
So lets grasp the nettle here and actually trap every userland cache
maintenance instruction once we detect at least one affected core in
the system.
We then emulate the instruction by executing it on behalf of userland,
promoting "dc cvau" to "dc civac" on the way and injecting access
fault back into userspace.

'User Access Override' is a new ARMv8.2 feature which allows the
unprivileged load and store instructions to be overridden to behave in
the normal way.

This patch converts {get,put}_user() and friends to use ldtr*/sttr*
instructions - so that they can only access EL0 memory, then enables
UAO when fs==KERNEL_DS so that these functions can access kernel memory.

This allows user space's read/write permissions to be checked against the
page tables, instead of testing addr&lt;USER_DS, then using the kernel's
read/write permissions.

<title>arm64: prefetch: add missing #include for spin_lock_prefetch</title>

As of 52e662326e1e ("arm64: prefetch: don't provide spin_lock_prefetch
with LSE"), spin_lock_prefetch is patched at runtime when the LSE atomics
are in use. This relies on the ARM64_LSE_ATOMIC_INSN macro to drive
the alternatives framework, but that macro is only available via
asm/lse.h, which isn't explicitly included in processor.h. Consequently,
drivers can run into build failures such as:

   In file included from include/linux/prefetch.h:14:0,
                    from drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_txrx.c:27:
   arch/arm64/include/asm/processor.h: In function 'spin_lock_prefetch':
   arch/arm64/include/asm/processor.h:183:15: error: expected string literal before 'ARM64_LSE_ATOMIC_INSN'
     asm volatile(ARM64_LSE_ATOMIC_INSN(

This patch add the missing include and gets things building again.
