commit b660950c60a7278f9d8deb7c32a162031207c758 upstream.

The implementation of macro inv_entry refers to its 'el' argument without
the required leading backslash, which results in an undefined symbol
'el' to be passed into the kernel_entry macro rather than the index of
the exception level as intended.

This undefined symbol strangely enough does not result in build failures,
although it is visible in vmlinux:

     $ nm -n vmlinux |head
                      U el
     0000000000000000 A _kernel_flags_le_hi32
     0000000000000000 A _kernel_offset_le_hi32
     0000000000000000 A _kernel_size_le_hi32
     000000000000000a A _kernel_flags_le_lo32
     .....

However, it does result in incorrect code being generated for invalid
exceptions taken from EL0, since the argument check in kernel_entry
assumes EL1 if its argument does not equal '0'.

<title>arm64: avoid returning from bad_mode</title>

commit 7d9e8f71b989230bc613d121ca38507d34ada849 upstream.

Generally, taking an unexpected exception should be a fatal event, and
bad_mode is intended to cater for this. However, it should be possible
to contain unexpected synchronous exceptions from EL0 without bringing
the kernel down, by sending a SIGILL to the task.

We tried to apply this approach in commit 9955ac47f4ba1c95 ("arm64:
don't kill the kernel on a bad esr from el0"), by sending a signal for
any bad_mode call resulting from an EL0 exception.

However, this also applies to other unexpected exceptions, such as
SError and FIQ. The entry paths for these exceptions branch to bad_mode
without configuring the link register, and have no kernel_exit. Thus, if
we take one of these exceptions from EL0, bad_mode will eventually
return to the original user link register value.

This patch fixes this by introducing a new bad_el0_sync handler to cater
for the recoverable case, and restoring bad_mode to its original state,
whereby it calls panic() and never returns. The recoverable case
branches to bad_el0_sync with a bl, and returns to userspace via the
usual ret_to_user mechanism.

commit 1059c6bf8534acda249e7e65c81e7696fb074dc1 upstream.

When returning from a debug exception taken from EL1, we unmask debug
exceptions after handling the exception. This is crucial for debug
exceptions taken from EL0, so that any kernel work on the ret_to_user
path can be debugged by kgdb.

However, when returning back to EL1 the only thing left to do is to
restore the original register state before the exception return. If
single-step has been enabled by the debug exception handler, we will
get stuck in an infinite debug exception loop, since we will take the
step exception as soon as we unmask debug exceptions.

This patch avoids unmasking debug exceptions on the debug exception
return path when the exception was taken from EL1.

As done in arm, this change makes it easy to confirm we invoke syscall
related hooks, including syscall tracepoint, audit and seccomp which would
be implemented later, in correct order. That is, undoing operations in the
opposite order on exit that they were done on entry.

<title>arm64: debug: avoid accessing mdscr_el1 on fault paths where possible</title>

<id>2a2830703a2371b47f7b50b1d35cb15dc0e2b717</id>
<content type='text'>
Since mdscr_el1 is part of the debug register group, it is highly likely
to be trapped by a hypervisor to prevent virtual machines from debugging
(buggering?) each other. Unfortunately, this absolutely destroys our
performance, since we access the register on many of our low-level
fault handling paths to keep track of the various debug state machines.

This patch removes our dependency on mdscr_el1 in the case that debugging
is not being used. More specifically we:

  - Use TIF_SINGLESTEP to indicate that a task is stepping at EL0 and
    avoid disabling step in the MDSCR when we don't need to.
    MDSCR_EL1.SS handling is moved to kernel_entry, when trapping from
    userspace.

  - Ensure debug exceptions are re-enabled on *all* exception entry
    paths, even the debug exception handling path (where we re-enable
    exceptions after invoking the handler). Since we can now rely on
    MDSCR_EL1.SS being cleared by the entry code, exception handlers can
    usually enable debug immediately before enabling interrupts.

  - Remove all debug exception unmasking from ret_to_user and
    el1_preempt, since we will never get here with debug exceptions
    masked.

This results in a slight change to kernel debug behaviour, where we now
step into interrupt handlers and data aborts from EL1 when debugging the
kernel, which is actually a useful thing to do. A side-effect of this is
that it *does* potentially prevent stepping off {break,watch}points when
there is a high-frequency interrupt source (e.g. a timer), so a debugger
would need to use either breakpoints or manually disable interrupts to
get around this issue.

With this patch applied, guest performance is restored under KVM when
debug register accesses are trapped (and we get a measurable performance
increase on the host on Cortex-A57 too).

If a task gets scheduled out and back in again and nothing has touched
its FPSIMD state in the mean time, there is really no reason to reload
it from memory. Similarly, repeated calls to kernel_neon_begin() and
kernel_neon_end() will preserve and restore the FPSIMD state every time.

This patch defers the FPSIMD state restore to the last possible moment,
i.e., right before the task returns to userland. If a task does not return to
userland at all (for any reason), the existing FPSIMD state is preserved
and may be reused by the owning task if it gets scheduled in again on the
same CPU.

This patch adds two more functions to abstract away from straight FPSIMD
register file saves and restores:
- fpsimd_restore_current_state -&gt; ensure current's FPSIMD state is loaded
- fpsimd_flush_task_state -&gt; invalidate live copies of a task's FPSIMD state
