[ Upstream commit 2671828c3ff4ffadf777f793a1f3232d6e51394a ]

When taking an SError or Debug exception from EL0, we run the C
handler for these exceptions before updating the context tracking
code and unmasking lower priority interrupts.

When booting with nohz_full lockdep tells us we got this wrong:

Moving the ct_user_exit calls to be before do_debug_exception() means
they are also before trace_hardirqs_off() has been updated. Add a new
ct_user_exit_irqoff macro to avoid the context-tracking code using
irqsave/restore before we've updated trace_hardirqs_off(). To be
consistent, do this everywhere.

The C helper is called enter_from_user_mode() to match x86 in the hope
we can merge them into kernel/context_tracking.c later.

[ Upstream commit 40ca0ce56d4bb889dc43b455c55398468115569a ]

Comparing the arm-arm's  pseudocode for AArch64.PCAlignmentFault() with
AArch64.SPAlignmentFault() shows that SP faults don't copy the faulty-SP
to FAR_EL1, but this is where we read from, and the address we provide
to user-space with the BUS_ADRALN signal.

For user-space this value will be UNKNOWN due to the previous ERET to
user-space. If the last value is preserved, on systems with KASLR or KPTI
this will be the user-space link-register left in FAR_EL1 by tramp_exit().
Fix this to retrieve the original sp_el0 value, and pass this to
do_sp_pc_fault().

SP alignment faults from EL1 will cause us to take the fault again when
trying to store the pt_regs. This eventually takes us to the overflow
stack. Remove the ESR_ELx_EC_SP_ALIGN check as we will never make it
this far.

<title>arm64: Fix incorrect irqflag restore for priority masking</title>

commit bd82d4bd21880b7c4d5f5756be435095d6ae07b5 upstream.

When using IRQ priority masking to disable interrupts, in order to deal
with the PSR.I state, local_irq_save() would convert the I bit into a
PMR value (GIC_PRIO_IRQOFF). This resulted in local_irq_restore()
potentially modifying the value of PMR in undesired location due to the
state of PSR.I upon flag saving [1].

In an attempt to solve this issue in a less hackish manner, introduce
a bit (GIC_PRIO_IGNORE_PMR) for the PMR values that can represent
whether PSR.I is being used to disable interrupts, in which case it
takes precedence of the status of interrupt masking via PMR.

GIC_PRIO_PSR_I_SET is chosen such that (&lt;pmr_value&gt; |
GIC_PRIO_PSR_I_SET) does not mask more interrupts than &lt;pmr_value&gt; as
some sections (e.g. arch_cpu_idle(), interrupt acknowledge path)
requires PMR not to mask interrupts that could be signaled to the
CPU when using only PSR.I.

<title>arm64: Fix interrupt tracing in the presence of NMIs</title>

commit 17ce302f3117e9518395847a3120c8a108b587b8 upstream.

In the presence of any form of instrumentation, nmi_enter() should be
done before calling any traceable code and any instrumentation code.

Currently, nmi_enter() is done in handle_domain_nmi(), which is much
too late as instrumentation code might get called before. Move the
nmi_enter/exit() calls to the arch IRQ vector handler.

On arm64, it is not possible to know if the IRQ vector handler was
called because of an NMI before acknowledging the interrupt. However, It
is possible to know whether normal interrupts could be taken in the
interrupted context (i.e. if taking an NMI in that context could
introduce a potential race condition).

When interrupting a context with IRQs disabled, call nmi_enter() as soon
as possible. In contexts with IRQs enabled, defer this to the interrupt
controller, which is in a better position to know if an interrupt taken
is an NMI.

[ Upstream commit 9034f6251572a4744597c51dea5ab73a55f2b938 ]

For el0_dbg and el0_error, DAIF bits get explicitly cleared before
calling ct_user_exit.

When context tracking is disabled, DAIF gets set (almost) immediately
after. When context tracking is enabled, among the first things done
is disabling IRQs.

What is actually needed is:
- PSR.D = 0 so the system can be debugged (should be already the case)
- PSR.A = 0 so async error can be handled during context tracking

Do not clear PSR.I in those two locations.

We already mitigate erratum 1188873 affecting Cortex-A76 and
Neoverse-N1 r0p0 to r2p0. It turns out that revisions r0p0 to
r3p1 of the same cores are affected by erratum 1418040, which
has the same workaround as 1188873.

Let's expand the range of affected revisions to match 1418040,
and repaint all occurences of 1188873 to 1418040. Whilst we're
there, do a bit of reformating in silicon-errata.txt and drop
a now unnecessary dependency on ARM_ARCH_TIMER_OOL_WORKAROUND.

<title>arm64: Restrict ARM64_ERRATUM_1188873 mitigation to AArch32</title>

We currently deal with ARM64_ERRATUM_1188873 by always trapping EL0
accesses for both instruction sets. Although nothing wrong comes out
of that, people trying to squeeze the last drop of performance from
buggy HW find this over the top. Oh well.

Let's change the mitigation by flipping the counter enable bit
on return to userspace. Non-broken HW gets an extra branch on
the fast path, which is hopefully not the end of the world.
The arch timer workaround is also removed.

<title>arm64: Rename get_thread_info()</title>

The assembly macro get_thread_info() actually returns a task_struct and is
analogous to the current/get_current macro/function.

While it could be argued that thread_info sits at the start of
task_struct and the intention could have been to return a thread_info,
instances of loads from/stores to the address obtained from
get_thread_info() use offsets that are generated with
offsetof(struct task_struct, [...]).

Rename get_thread_info() to state it returns a task_struct.

<title>arm64: Skip irqflags tracing for NMI in IRQs disabled context</title>

When an NMI is raised while interrupts where disabled, the IRQ tracing
already is in the correct state (i.e. hardirqs_off) and should be left
as such when returning to the interrupted context.

Check whether PMR was masking interrupts when the NMI was raised and
skip IRQ tracing if necessary.
