<content type='text'>
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.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:

 - arm64 support for syscall emulation via PTRACE_SYSEMU{,_SINGLESTEP}

 - Wire up VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS for arm64, allowing the core code to
   manage the permissions of executable vmalloc regions more strictly

 - Slight performance improvement by keeping softirqs enabled while
   touching the FPSIMD/SVE state (kernel_neon_begin/end)

 - Expose a couple of ARMv8.5 features to user (HWCAP): CondM (new
   XAFLAG and AXFLAG instructions for floating point comparison flags
   manipulation) and FRINT (rounding floating point numbers to integers)

 - Re-instate ARM64_PSEUDO_NMI support which was previously marked as
   BROKEN due to some bugs (now fixed)

 - Improve parking of stopped CPUs and implement an arm64-specific
   panic_smp_self_stop() to avoid warning on not being able to stop
   secondary CPUs during panic

 - perf: enable the ARM Statistical Profiling Extensions (SPE) on ACPI
   platforms

 - perf: DDR performance monitor support for iMX8QXP

 - cache_line_size() can now be set from DT or ACPI/PPTT if provided to
   cope with a system cache info not exposed via the CPUID registers

 - Avoid warning on hardware cache line size greater than
   ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN if the system is fully coherent

 - arm64 do_page_fault() and hugetlb cleanups

 - Refactor set_pte_at() to avoid redundant READ_ONCE(*ptep)

 - Ignore ACPI 5.1 FADTs reported as 5.0 (infer from the
   'arm_boot_flags' introduced in 5.1)

 - CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE now enabled in defconfig

 - Allow the selection of ARM64_MODULE_PLTS, currently only done via
   RANDOMIZE_BASE (and an erratum workaround), allowing modules to spill
   over into the vmalloc area

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

<id>bd82d4bd21880b7c4d5f5756be435095d6ae07b5</id>
<content type='text'>
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>

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.

<title>arm64: Do not enable IRQs for ct_user_exit</title>

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.

<content type='text'>
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.

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.

<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.
