arm64: kernel: Save and restore UAO and addr_limit on exception entry

2016-07-07T14:55:37+00:00

If we take an exception while at EL1, the exception handler inherits
the original context's addr_limit and PSTATE.UAO values. To be consistent
always reset addr_limit and PSTATE.UAO on (re-)entry to EL1. This
prevents accidental re-use of the original context's addr_limit.

Based on a similar patch for arm from Russell King.

arm64/kernel: fix incorrect EL0 check in inv_entry macro

2016-03-21T12:05:34+00:00

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'.

arm64: entry: remove pointless SPSR mode check

2016-01-06T15:40:38+00:00

In work_pending, we may skip work if the stacked SPSR value represents
anything other than an EL0 context. We then immediately invoke the
kernel_exit 0 macro as part of ret_to_user, assuming a return to EL0.
This is somewhat confusing.

We use work_pending as part of the ret_to_user/ret_fast_syscall state
machine. We only use ret_fast_syscall in the return from an SVC issued
from EL0. We use ret_to_user for return from EL0 exception handlers and
also for return from ret_from_fork in the case the task was not a kernel
thread (i.e. it is a user task).

Thus in all cases the stacked SPSR value must represent an EL0 context,
and the check is redundant. This patch removes it, along with the now
unused no_work_pending label.

arm64: remove irq_count and do_softirq_own_stack()

2015-12-21T17:26:01+00:00

sysrq_handle_reboot() re-enables interrupts while on the irq stack. The
irq_stack implementation wrongly assumed this would only ever happen
via the softirq path, allowing it to update irq_count late, in
do_softirq_own_stack().

This means if an irq occurs in sysrq_handle_reboot(), during
emergency_restart() the stack will be corrupted, as irq_count wasn't
updated.

Lose the optimisation, and instead of moving the adding/subtracting of
irq_count into irq_stack_entry/irq_stack_exit, remove it, and compare
sp_el0 (struct thread_info) with sp & ~(THREAD_SIZE - 1). This tells us
if we are on a task stack, if so, we can safely switch to the irq stack.
Finally, remove do_softirq_own_stack(), we don't need it anymore.

arm64: reduce stack use in irq_handler

2015-12-15T17:09:08+00:00

The code for switching to irq_stack stores three pieces of information on
the stack, fp+lr, as a fake stack frame (that lets us walk back onto the
interrupted tasks stack frame), and the address of the struct pt_regs that
contains the register values from kernel entry. (which dump_backtrace()
will print in any stack trace).

To reduce this, we store fp, and the pointer to the struct pt_regs.
unwind_frame() can recognise this as the irq_stack dummy frame, (as it only
appears at the top of the irq_stack), and use the struct pt_regs values
to find the missing interrupted link-register.

arm64: don't call C code with el0's fp register

2015-12-10T12:08:09+00:00

On entry from el0, we save all the registers on the kernel stack, and
restore them before returning. x29 remains unchanged when we call out
to C code, which will store x29 as the frame-pointer on the stack.

Instead, write 0 into x29 after entry from el0, to avoid any risk of
tracing into user space.

arm64: irq: fix walking from irq stack to task stack

2015-12-09T13:59:09+00:00

Running with CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK=y can trigger a BUG with the new IRQ
stack code:

  BUG: spinlock lockup suspected on CPU#1

This is due to the IRQ_STACK_TO_TASK_STACK macro incorrectly retrieving
the task stack pointer stashed at the top of the IRQ stack.

Sayeth James:

| Yup, this is what is happening. Its an off-by-one due to broken
| thinking about how the stack works. My broken thinking was:
|
| >   top ------------
| >       | dummy_lr | <- irq_stack_ptr
| >       ------------
| >       |   x29    |
| >       ------------
| >       |   x19    | <- irq_stack_ptr - 0x10
| >       ------------
| >       |   xzr    |
| >       ------------
|
| But the stack-pointer is decreased before use. So it actually looks
| like this:
|
| >       ------------
| >       |          |  <- irq_stack_ptr
| >   top ------------
| >       | dummy_lr |
| >       ------------
| >       |   x29    | <- irq_stack_ptr - 0x10
| >       ------------
| >       |   x19    |
| >       ------------
| >       |   xzr    | <- irq_stack_ptr - 0x20
| >       ------------
|
| The value being used as the original stack is x29, which in all the
| tests is sp but without the current frames data, hence there are no
| missing frames in the output.
|
| Jungseok Lee picked it up with a 32bit user space because aarch32
| can't use x29, so it remains 0 forever. The fix he posted is correct.

This patch fixes the macro and adds some of this wisdom to a comment,
so that the layout of the IRQ stack is well understood.

arm64: Add do_softirq_own_stack() and enable irq_stacks

2015-12-08T11:42:51+00:00

entry.S is modified to switch to the per_cpu irq_stack during el{0,1}_irq.
irq_count is used to detect recursive interrupts on the irq_stack, it is
updated late by do_softirq_own_stack(), when called on the irq_stack, before
__do_softirq() re-enables interrupts to process softirqs.

do_softirq_own_stack() is added by this patch, but does not yet switch
stack.

This patch adds the dummy stack frame and data needed by the previous
stack tracing patches.

arm64: Store struct thread_info in sp_el0

2015-12-08T11:40:48+00:00

There is need for figuring out how to manage struct thread_info data when
IRQ stack is introduced. struct thread_info information should be copied
to IRQ stack under the current thread_info calculation logic whenever
context switching is invoked. This is too expensive to keep supporting
the approach.

Instead, this patch pays attention to sp_el0 which is an unused scratch
register in EL1 context. sp_el0 utilization not only simplifies the
management, but also prevents text section size from being increased
largely due to static allocated IRQ stack as removing masking operation
using THREAD_SIZE in many places.
