commit 1940e70a8144bf75e6df26bf6f600862ea7f7ea1 upstream.

Commit fb091ff39479 ("arm64: Subscribe Microsoft Azure Cobalt 100 to ARM
Neoverse N2 errata") states that Microsoft Azure Cobalt 100 CPU "is a
Microsoft implemented CPU based on r0p0 of the ARM Neoverse N2 CPU, and
therefore suffers from all the same errata.".

So enable the workaround for the latest broadcast TLB invalidation bug
on these parts.

commit ec7216f92e4ebd485b1c6dc6aa3f6064b71a5768 upstream.

NVIDIA Olympus cores are affected by the TLBI completion issue tracked as
CVE-2025-10263. The existing ARM64_ERRATUM_4118414 handling already uses
ARM64_WORKAROUND_REPEAT_TLBI to issue an additional broadcast TLBI;DSB
sequence and ensure affected memory write effects are globally observed.

Add MIDR_NVIDIA_OLYMPUS to the repeat-TLBI match list so the same
mitigation is enabled on affected Olympus systems. Also document the
NVIDIA Olympus erratum in the arm64 silicon errata table and list it in
the Kconfig help text.

commit cfd391e74134db664feb499d43af286380b10ba8 upstream.

A number of CPUs developed by Arm suffer from errata whereby a broadcast
TLBI;DSB sequence may complete before the global observation of writes
which are translated by an affected TLB entry.

These errata ONLY affect the completion of memory accesses which have
been translated by an invalidated TLB entry, and these errata DO NOT
affect the actual invalidation of TLB entries. TLB entries are removed
correctly.

This issue has been assigned CVE ID CVE-2025-10263.

To mitigate this issue, Arm recommends that software follows any
affected TLBI;DSB sequence with an additional TLBI;DSB, which will
ensure that all memory write effects affected by the first TLBI have
been globally observed. The additional TLBI can use any operation that
is broadcast to affected CPUs, and the additional DSB can use any option
that is sufficient to complete the additional TLBI.

The ARM64_WORKAROUND_REPEAT_TLBI workaround is sufficient to mitigate
the issue. Enable this workaround for affected CPUs, and update the
silicon errata documentation accordingly.

Note that due to the manner in which Arm develops IP and tracks errata,
some CPUs share a common erratum number.

<title>arm64: tlb: Optimize ARM64_WORKAROUND_REPEAT_TLBI</title>

<id>fed65bc9de8e96a5848f749a201c009fcc09e62b</id>
<content type='text'>
commit a8f78680ee6bf795086384e8aea159a52814f827 upstream.

The ARM64_WORKAROUND_REPEAT_TLBI workaround is used to mitigate several
errata where broadcast TLBI;DSB sequences don't provide all the
architecturally required synchronization. The workaround performs more
work than necessary, and can have significant overhead. This patch
optimizes the workaround, as explained below.

The workaround was originally added for Qualcomm Falkor erratum 1009 in
commit:

  d9ff80f83ecb ("arm64: Work around Falkor erratum 1009")

As noted in the message for that commit, the workaround is applied even
in cases where it is not strictly necessary.

The workaround was later reused without changes for:

* Arm Cortex-A76 erratum #1286807
  SDEN v33: https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-885749/33-0/

* Arm Cortex-A55 erratum #2441007
  SDEN v16: https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-859338/1600/

* Arm Cortex-A510 erratum #2441009
  SDEN v19: https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-1873351/1900/

The important details to note are as follows:

1. All relevant errata only affect the ordering and/or completion of
   memory accesses which have been translated by an invalidated TLB
   entry. The actual invalidation of TLB entries is unaffected.

2. The existing workaround is applied to both broadcast and local TLB
   invalidation, whereas for all relevant errata it is only necessary to
   apply a workaround for broadcast invalidation.

3. The existing workaround replaces every TLBI with a TLBI;DSB;TLBI
   sequence, whereas for all relevant errata it is only necessary to
   execute a single additional TLBI;DSB sequence after any number of
   TLBIs are completed by a DSB.

   For example, for a sequence of batched TLBIs:

       TLBI &lt;op1&gt;[, &lt;arg1&gt;]
       TLBI &lt;op2&gt;[, &lt;arg2&gt;]
       TLBI &lt;op3&gt;[, &lt;arg3&gt;]
       DSB ISH

   ... the existing workaround will expand this to:

       TLBI &lt;op1&gt;[, &lt;arg1&gt;]
       DSB ISH                  // additional
       TLBI &lt;op1&gt;[, &lt;arg1&gt;]     // additional
       TLBI &lt;op2&gt;[, &lt;arg2&gt;]
       DSB ISH                  // additional
       TLBI &lt;op2&gt;[, &lt;arg2&gt;]     // additional
       TLBI &lt;op3&gt;[, &lt;arg3&gt;]
       DSB ISH                  // additional
       TLBI &lt;op3&gt;[, &lt;arg3&gt;]     // additional
       DSB ISH

   ... whereas it is sufficient to have:

       TLBI &lt;op1&gt;[, &lt;arg1&gt;]
       TLBI &lt;op2&gt;[, &lt;arg2&gt;]
       TLBI &lt;op3&gt;[, &lt;arg3&gt;]
       DSB ISH
       TLBI &lt;opX&gt;[, &lt;argX&gt;]     // additional
       DSB ISH                  // additional

   Using a single additional TBLI and DSB at the end of the sequence can
   have significantly lower overhead as each DSB which completes a TLBI
   must synchronize with other PEs in the system, with potential
   performance effects both locally and system-wide.

4. The existing workaround repeats each specific TLBI operation, whereas
   for all relevant errata it is sufficient for the additional TLBI to
   use *any* operation which will be broadcast, regardless of which
   translation regime or stage of translation the operation applies to.

   For example, for a single TLBI:

       TLBI ALLE2IS
       DSB ISH

   ... the existing workaround will expand this to:

       TLBI ALLE2IS
       DSB ISH
       TLBI ALLE2IS             // additional
       DSB ISH                  // additional

   ... whereas it is sufficient to have:

       TLBI ALLE2IS
       DSB ISH
       TLBI VALE1IS, XZR        // additional
       DSB ISH                  // additional

   As the additional TLBI doesn't have to match a specific earlier TLBI,
   the additional TLBI can be implemented in separate code, with no
   memory of the earlier TLBIs. The additional TLBI can also use a
   cheaper TLBI operation.

5. The existing workaround is applied to both Stage-1 and Stage-2 TLB
   invalidation, whereas for all relevant errata it is only necessary to
   apply a workaround for Stage-1 invalidation.

   Architecturally, TLBI operations which invalidate only Stage-2
   information (e.g. IPAS2E1IS) are not required to invalidate TLB
   entries which combine information from Stage-1 and Stage-2
   translation table entries, and consequently may not complete memory
   accesses translated by those combined entries. In these cases,
   completion of memory accesses is only guaranteed after subsequent
   invalidation of Stage-1 information (e.g. VMALLE1IS).

Taking the above points into account, this patch reworks the workaround
logic to reduce overhead:

* New __tlbi_sync_s1ish() and __tlbi_sync_s1ish_hyp() functions are
  added and used in place of any dsb(ish) which is used to complete
  broadcast Stage-1 TLB maintenance. When the
  ARM64_WORKAROUND_REPEAT_TLBI workaround is enabled, these helpers will
  execute an additional TLBI;DSB sequence.

  For consistency, it might make sense to add __tlbi_sync_*() helpers
  for local and stage 2 maintenance. For now I've left those with
  open-coded dsb() to keep the diff small.

* The duplication of TLBIs in __TLBI_0() and __TLBI_1() is removed. This
  is no longer needed as the necessary synchronization will happen in
  __tlbi_sync_s1ish() or __tlbi_sync_s1ish_hyp().

* The additional TLBI operation is chosen to have minimal impact:

  - __tlbi_sync_s1ish() uses "TLBI VALE1IS, XZR". This is only used at
    EL1 or at EL2 with {E2H,TGE}=={1,1}, where it will target an unused
    entry for the reserved ASID in the kernel's own translation regime,
    and have no adverse affect.

  - __tlbi_sync_s1ish_hyp() uses "TLBI VALE2IS, XZR". This is only used
    in hyp code, where it will target an unused entry in the hyp code's
    TTBR0 mapping, and should have no adverse effect.

* As __TLBI_0() and __TLBI_1() no longer replace each TLBI with a
  TLBI;DSB;TLBI sequence, batching TLBIs is worthwhile, and there's no
  need for arch_tlbbatch_should_defer() to consider
  ARM64_WORKAROUND_REPEAT_TLBI.

When building defconfig with GCC 15.1.0, compared to v6.19-rc1, this
patch saves ~1KiB of text, makes the vmlinux ~42KiB smaller, and makes
the resulting Image 64KiB smaller:

   accesses translated by those combined entries. In these cases,
   completion of memory accesses is only guaranteed after subsequent
   invalidation of Stage-1 information (e.g. VMALLE1IS).

Taking the above points into account, this patch reworks the workaround
logic to reduce overhead:

* New __tlbi_sync_s1ish() and __tlbi_sync_s1ish_hyp() functions are
  added and used in place of any dsb(ish) which is used to complete
  broadcast Stage-1 TLB maintenance. When the
  ARM64_WORKAROUND_REPEAT_TLBI workaround is enabled, these helpers will
  execute an additional TLBI;DSB sequence.

  For consistency, it might make sense to add __tlbi_sync_*() helpers
  for local and stage 2 maintenance. For now I've left those with
  open-coded dsb() to keep the diff small.

* The duplication of TLBIs in __TLBI_0() and __TLBI_1() is removed. This
  is no longer needed as the necessary synchronization will happen in
  __tlbi_sync_s1ish() or __tlbi_sync_s1ish_hyp().

* The additional TLBI operation is chosen to have minimal impact:

  - __tlbi_sync_s1ish() uses "TLBI VALE1IS, XZR". This is only used at
    EL1 or at EL2 with {E2H,TGE}=={1,1}, where it will target an unused
    entry for the reserved ASID in the kernel's own translation regime,
    and have no adverse affect.

  - __tlbi_sync_s1ish_hyp() uses "TLBI VALE2IS, XZR". This is only used
    in hyp code, where it will target an unused entry in the hyp code's
    TTBR0 mapping, and should have no adverse effect.

* As __TLBI_0() and __TLBI_1() no longer replace each TLBI with a
  TLBI;DSB;TLBI sequence, batching TLBIs is worthwhile, and there's no
  need for arch_tlbbatch_should_defer() to consider
  ARM64_WORKAROUND_REPEAT_TLBI.

When building defconfig with GCC 15.1.0, compared to v6.19-rc1, this
patch saves ~1KiB of text, makes the vmlinux ~42KiB smaller, and makes
the resulting Image 64KiB smaller:

commit f6bf47ab32e0863df50f5501d207dcdddb7fc507 upstream.

Rename our ioremap_prot() implementation to __ioremap_prot() and convert
all arch-internal callers over to the new function.

ioremap_prot() remains as a #define to __ioremap_prot() for
generic_access_phys() and will be subsequently extended to handle user
permissions in 'prot'.

[ Upstream commit 4023b7424ecd5d38cc75b650d6c1bf630ef8cb40 ]

The expression (*opcode++ &lt;&lt; 24) and exp * code_alignment_factor
may overflow signed int and becomes negative.

Fix this by casting each byte to u64 before shifting. Also fix
the misaligned break statement while we are here.

Example of the result can be seen here:
Link: https://godbolt.org/z/zhY8d3595

It maybe not a real problem, but could be a issue in future.

[ Upstream commit d1dcc20bcc40efe1f1c71639376c91dafa489222 ]

On the host, this change doesn't make a difference because the fields
are defined as FTR_EXACT. However, KVM allows userspace to set these
fields for a guest and overrides the type to be FTR_LOWER_SAFE. And
while KVM used to do an unsigned comparison to validate that the new
value is lower than what the hardware provides, since the linked commit
it uses the generic sanitization framework which does a signed
comparison.

Fix it by defining these fields as unsigned. In theory, without this
fix, userspace could set a higher PMU version than the hardware supports
by providing any value with the top bit set.

The TSV110 processor is vulnerable to the Spectre-BHB (Branch History
Buffer) attack, which can be exploited to leak information through
branch prediction side channels. This commit adds the MIDR of TSV110
