<content type='text'>
Add support for hibernate/suspend-to-disk.

Suspend borrows code from cpu_suspend() to write cpu state onto the stack,
before calling swsusp_save() to save the memory image.

Restore creates a set of temporary page tables, covering only the
linear map, copies the restore code to a 'safe' page, then uses the copy to
restore the memory image. The copied code executes in the lower half of the
address space, and once complete, restores the original kernel's page
tables. It then calls into cpu_resume(), and follows the normal
cpu_suspend() path back into the suspend code.

To restore a kernel using KASLR, the address of the page tables, and
cpu_resume() are stored in the hibernate arch-header and the el2
vectors are pivotted via the 'safe' page in low memory.

<title>arm64: add support for kernel ASLR</title>

<id>f80fb3a3d50843a401dac4b566b3b131da8077a2</id>
<content type='text'>
This adds support for KASLR is implemented, based on entropy provided by
the bootloader in the /chosen/kaslr-seed DT property. Depending on the size
of the address space (VA_BITS) and the page size, the entropy in the
virtual displacement is up to 13 bits (16k/2 levels) and up to 25 bits (all
4 levels), with the sidenote that displacements that result in the kernel
image straddling a 1GB/32MB/512MB alignment boundary (for 4KB/16KB/64KB
granule kernels, respectively) are not allowed, and will be rounded up to
an acceptable value.

If CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL is enabled, the module region is
randomized independently from the core kernel. This makes it less likely
that the location of core kernel data structures can be determined by an
adversary, but causes all function calls from modules into the core kernel
to be resolved via entries in the module PLTs.

If CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL is not enabled, the module region is
randomized by choosing a page aligned 128 MB region inside the interval
[_etext - 128 MB, _stext + 128 MB). This gives between 10 and 14 bits of
entropy (depending on page size), independently of the kernel randomization,
but still guarantees that modules are within the range of relative branch
and jump instructions (with the caveat that, since the module region is
shared with other uses of the vmalloc area, modules may need to be loaded
further away if the module region is exhausted)

<id>fd045f6cd98ec4953147b318418bd45e441e52a3</id>
<content type='text'>
This adds support for emitting PLTs at module load time for relative
branches that are out of range. This is a prerequisite for KASLR, which
may place the kernel and the modules anywhere in the vmalloc area,
making it more likely that branch target offsets exceed the maximum
range of +/- 128 MB.

In this version, I removed the distinction between relocations against
.init executable sections and ordinary executable sections. The reason
is that it is hardly worth the trouble, given that .init.text usually
does not contain that many far branches, and this version now only
reserves PLT entry space for jump and call relocations against undefined
symbols (since symbols defined in the same module can be assumed to be
within +/- 128 MB)

For example, the mac80211.ko module (which is fairly sizable at ~400 KB)
built with -mcmodel=large gives the following relocation counts:

                    relocs    branches   unique     !local
  .text              3925       3347       518        219
  .init.text           11          8         7          1
  .exit.text            4          4         4          1
  .text.unlikely       81         67        36         17

('unique' means branches to unique type/symbol/addend combos, of which
!local is the subset referring to undefined symbols)

IOW, we are only emitting a single PLT entry for the .init sections, and
we are better off just adding it to the core PLT section instead.

<title>arm64: kernel: implement ACPI parking protocol</title>
<updated>2016-02-16T15:12:32+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=5e89c55e4ed81d7abb1ce8828db35fa389dc0e90'/>
<id>5e89c55e4ed81d7abb1ce8828db35fa389dc0e90</id>
<content type='text'>
The SBBR and ACPI specifications allow ACPI based systems that do not
implement PSCI (eg systems with no EL3) to boot through the ACPI parking
protocol specification[1].

This patch implements the ACPI parking protocol CPU operations, and adds
code that eases parsing the parking protocol data structures to the
ARM64 SMP initializion carried out at the same time as cpus enumeration.

To wake-up the CPUs from the parked state, this patch implements a
wakeup IPI for ARM64 (ie arch_send_wakeup_ipi_mask()) that mirrors the
ARM one, so that a specific IPI is sent for wake-up purpose in order
to distinguish it from other IPI sources.

Given the current ACPI MADT parsing API, the patch implements a glue
layer that helps passing MADT GICC data structure from SMP initialization
code to the parking protocol implementation somewhat overriding the CPU
operations interfaces. This to avoid creating a completely trasparent
DT/ACPI CPU operations layer that would require creating opaque
structure handling for CPUs data (DT represents CPU through DT nodes, ACPI
through static MADT table entries), which seems overkill given that ACPI
on ARM64 mandates only two booting protocols (PSCI and parking protocol),
so there is no need for further protocol additions.

Introduce CONFIG_PARAVIRT and PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING on ARM64.
Necessary duplication of paravirt.h and paravirt.c with ARM.

The only paravirt interface supported is pv_time_ops.steal_clock, so no
runtime pvops patching needed.

This allows us to make use of steal_account_process_tick for stolen
ticks accounting.

Now that we added special handling to the C files in libstub, move
the one remaining arm64 specific EFI stub C file to libstub as
well, so that it gets the same treatment. This should prevent future
changes from resulting in binaries that may execute incorrectly in
UEFI context.

With efi-entry.S the only remaining EFI stub source file under
arch/arm64, we can also simplify the Makefile logic somewhat.

This patch adds arch specific code for kernel address sanitizer
(see Documentation/kasan.txt).

1/8 of kernel addresses reserved for shadow memory. There was no
big enough hole for this, so virtual addresses for shadow were
stolen from vmalloc area.

At early boot stage the whole shadow region populated with just
one physical page (kasan_zero_page). Later, this page reused
as readonly zero shadow for some memory that KASan currently
don't track (vmalloc).
After mapping the physical memory, pages for shadow memory are
allocated and mapped.

Functions like memset/memmove/memcpy do a lot of memory accesses.
If bad pointer passed to one of these function it is important
to catch this. Compiler's instrumentation cannot do this since
these functions are written in assembly.
KASan replaces memory functions with manually instrumented variants.
Original functions declared as weak symbols so strong definitions
in mm/kasan/kasan.c could replace them. Original functions have aliases
with '__' prefix in name, so we could call non-instrumented variant
if needed.
Some files built without kasan instrumentation (e.g. mm/slub.c).
Original mem* function replaced (via #define) with prefixed variants
to disable memory access checks for such files.
