commit 282aa7051b0169991b34716f0f22d9c2f59c46c4 upstream.

The update to the accessed or dirty states for block mappings must be
done atomically on hardware with support for automatic AF/DBM. The
ptep_set_access_flags() function has been fixed as part of commit
66dbd6e61a52 ("arm64: Implement ptep_set_access_flags() for hardware
AF/DBM"). This patch brings pmdp_set_access_flags() in line with the pte
counterpart.

commit 66dbd6e61a526ae7d11a208238ae2c17e5cacb6b upstream.

When hardware updates of the access and dirty states are enabled, the
default ptep_set_access_flags() implementation based on calling
set_pte_at() directly is potentially racy. This triggers the "racy dirty
state clearing" warning in set_pte_at() because an existing writable PTE
is overridden with a clean entry.

There are two main scenarios for this situation:

1. The CPU getting an access fault does not support hardware updates of
   the access/dirty flags. However, a different agent in the system
   (e.g. SMMU) can do this, therefore overriding a writable entry with a
   clean one could potentially lose the automatically updated dirty
   status

2. A more complex situation is possible when all CPUs support hardware
   AF/DBM:

   a) Initial state: shareable + writable vma and pte_none(pte)
   b) Read fault taken by two threads of the same process on different
      CPUs
   c) CPU0 takes the mmap_sem and proceeds to handling the fault. It
      eventually reaches do_set_pte() which sets a writable + clean pte.
      CPU0 releases the mmap_sem
   d) CPU1 acquires the mmap_sem and proceeds to handle_pte_fault(). The
      pte entry it reads is present, writable and clean and it continues
      to pte_mkyoung()
   e) CPU1 calls ptep_set_access_flags()

   If between (d) and (e) the hardware (another CPU) updates the dirty
   state (clears PTE_RDONLY), CPU1 will override the PTR_RDONLY bit
   marking the entry clean again.

This patch implements an arm64-specific ptep_set_access_flags() function
to perform an atomic update of the PTE flags.

<title>arm64: Ensure pmd_present() returns false after pmd_mknotpresent()</title>

commit 5bb1cc0ff9a6b68871970737e6c4c16919928d8b upstream.

Currently, pmd_present() only checks for a non-zero value, returning
true even after pmd_mknotpresent() (which only clears the type bits).
This patch converts pmd_present() to using pte_present(), similar to the
other pmd_*() checks. As a side effect, it will return true for
PROT_NONE mappings, though they are not yet used by the kernel with
transparent huge pages.

For consistency, also change pmd_mknotpresent() to only clear the
PMD_SECT_VALID bit, even though the PMD_TABLE_BIT is already 0 for block
mappings (no functional change). The unused PMD_SECT_PROT_NONE
definition is removed as transparent huge pages use the pte page prot
values.

commit 911f56eeb87ee378f5e215469268a7a2f68a5a8a upstream.

With hardware AF/DBM support, pmd modifications (transparent huge pages)
should be performed atomically using load/store exclusive. The initial
patches defined the get-and-clear function and __HAVE_ARCH_* macro
without the "huge" word, leaving the pmdp_huge_get_and_clear() to the
default, non-atomic implementation.

We always thought that 40bits of PA range would be the minimum people
would actually build. Anything less is terrifyingly small.

Turns out that we were both right and wrong. Nobody has ever built
such a system, but the ARM Foundation Model has a PARange set to 36bits.
Just because we can. Oh well. Now, the KVM API explicitely says that
we offer a 40bit PA space to the VM, so we shouldn't run KVM on
the Foundation Model at all.

That being said, this patch offers a less agressive alternative, and
loudly warns about the configuration being unsupported. You'll still
be able to run VMs (at your own risks, though).

This is just a workaround until we have a proper userspace API where
we report the PARange to userspace.

When we detect support for 16bit VMID in ID_AA64MMFR1, we set the
VTCR_EL2_VS field to 1 to make use of 16bit vmids. But, with
commit 3a3604bc5eb4 ("arm64: KVM: Switch to C-based stage2 init")
this is broken and we corrupt VTCR_EL2:T0SZ instead of updating the VS
field. VTCR_EL2_VS was actually defined to the field shift (19) and
not the real value for VS. This patch fixes the issue.

To use the ARMv8 PMU related register defines from the KVM code, we move
the relevant definitions to asm/perf_event.h header file and rename them
with prefix ARMV8_PMU_. This allows us to get rid of kvm_perf_event.h.

To use the ARMv8 PMU related register defines from the KVM code, we move
the relevant definitions to asm/perf_event.h header file and rename them
with prefix ARMV8_PMU_. This allows us to get rid of kvm_perf_event.h.

<title>arm64: opcodes.h: Add arm big-endian config options before including arm header</title>

arm and arm64 use different config options to specify big endian. This
needs taking into account when including code/headers between the two
architectures.

A case in point is PAN, which uses the __instr_arm() macro to output
instructions. The macro comes from opcodes.h, which lives under arch/arm.
On a big-endian build the mismatched config options mean the instruction
isn't byte swapped correctly, resulting in undefined instruction exceptions
during boot:
