commit dfbca61af0b654990b9af8297ac574a9986d8275 upstream.

In create_safe_exec_page(), we create a copy of the hibernate exit text,
along with some page tables to map this via TTBR0. We then install the
new tables in TTBR0.

In swsusp_arch_resume() we call create_safe_exec_page() before trying a
number of operations which may fail (e.g. copying the linear map page
tables). If these fail, we bail out of swsusp_arch_resume() and return
an error code, but leave TTBR0 as-is. Subsequently, the core hibernate
code will call free_basic_memory_bitmaps(), which will free all of the
memory allocations we made, including the page tables installed in
TTBR0.

Thus, we may have TTBR0 pointing at dangling freed memory for some
period of time. If the hibernate attempt was triggered by a user
requesting a hibernate test via the reboot syscall, we may return to
userspace with the clobbered TTBR0 value.

Avoid these issues by reorganising swsusp_arch_resume() such that we
have no failure paths after create_safe_exec_page(). We also add a check
that the zero page allocation succeeded, matching what we have for other
allocations.

<title>arm64: hibernate: avoid potential TLB conflict</title>

commit 0194e760f7d2f42adb5e1db31b27a4331dd89c2f upstream.

In create_safe_exec_page we install a set of global mappings in TTBR0,
then subsequently invalidate TLBs. While TTBR0 points at the zero page,
and the TLBs should be free of stale global entries, we may have stale
ASID-tagged entries (e.g. from the EFI runtime services mappings) for
the same VAs. Per the ARM ARM these ASID-tagged entries may conflict
with newly-allocated global entries, and we must follow a
Break-Before-Make approach to avoid issues resulting from this.

This patch reworks create_safe_exec_page to invalidate TLBs while the
zero page is still in place, ensuring that there are no potential
conflicts when the new TTBR0 value is installed. As a single CPU is
online while this code executes, we do not need to perform broadcast TLB
maintenance, and can call local_flush_tlb_all(), which also subsumes
some barriers. The remaining assembly is converted to use write_sysreg()
and isb().

Other than this, we safely manipulate TTBRs in the hibernate dance. The
code we install as part of the new TTBR0 mapping (the hibernated
kernel's swsusp_arch_suspend_exit) installs a zero page into TTBR1,
invalidates TLBs, then installs its preferred value. Upon being restored
to the middle of swsusp_arch_suspend, the new image will call
__cpu_suspend_exit, which will call cpu_uninstall_idmap, installing the
zero page in TTBR0 and invalidating all TLB entries.

commit d6732fc402c2665f61e72faf206a0268e65236e9 upstream.

Due to the untyped KIMAGE_VADDR constant, the linker may not notice
that the __rela_offset and __dynsym_offset expressions are absolute
values (i.e., are not subject to relocation). This does not matter for
KASLR, but it does confuse kallsyms in relative mode, since it uses
the lowest non-absolute symbol address as the anchor point, and expects
all other symbol addresses to be within 4 GB of it.

Fix this by qualifying these expressions as ABSOLUTE() explicitly.

commit e75118a7b581b19b08282c7819c1ec6f68b91b79 upstream.

Passing "nosmp" should boot the kernel with a single processor, without
provision to enable secondary CPUs even if they are present. "nosmp" is
implemented by setting maxcpus=0. At the moment we still mark the secondary
CPUs present even with nosmp, which allows the userspace to bring them
up. This patch corrects the smp_prepare_cpus() to honor the maxcpus == 0.

Commit 44dbcc93ab67145 ("arm64: Fix behavior of maxcpus=N") fixed the
behavior for maxcpus &gt;= 1, but broke maxcpus = 0.

commit 9113c2aa05e9848cd4f1154abee17d4f265f012d upstream.

In smp_prepare_boot_cpu(), we invoke cpuinfo_store_boot_cpu to  store
the cpuinfo in a per-cpu ptr, before initialising the per-cpu offset for
the boot CPU. This patch reorders the sequence to make sure we initialise
the per-cpu offset before accessing the per-cpu area.

Commit 4b998ff1885eec ("arm64: Delay cpuinfo_store_boot_cpu") fixed the
issue where we modified the per-cpu area even before the kernel initialises
the per-cpu areas, but failed to wait until the boot cpu updated it's
offset.

<title>arm64: debug: unmask PSTATE.D earlier</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 2ce39ad15182604beb6c8fa8bed5e46b59fd1082 upstream.

Clearing PSTATE.D is one of the requirements for generating a debug
exception. The arm64 booting protocol requires that PSTATE.D is set,
since many of the debug registers (for example, the hw_breakpoint
registers) are UNKNOWN out of reset and could potentially generate
spurious, fatal debug exceptions in early boot code if PSTATE.D was
clear. Once the debug registers have been safely initialised, PSTATE.D
is cleared, however this is currently broken for two reasons:

(1) The boot CPU clears PSTATE.D in a postcore_initcall and secondary
    CPUs clear PSTATE.D in secondary_start_kernel. Since the initcall
    runs after SMP (and the scheduler) have been initialised, there is
    no guarantee that it is actually running on the boot CPU. In this
    case, the boot CPU is left with PSTATE.D set and is not capable of
    generating debug exceptions.

(2) In a preemptible kernel, we may explicitly schedule on the IRQ
    return path to EL1. If an IRQ occurs with PSTATE.D set in the idle
    thread, then we may schedule the kthread_init thread, run the
    postcore_initcall to clear PSTATE.D and then context switch back
    to the idle thread before returning from the IRQ. The exception
    return path will then restore PSTATE.D from the stack, and set it
    again.

This patch fixes the problem by moving the clearing of PSTATE.D earlier
to proc.S. This has the desirable effect of clearing it in one place for
all CPUs, long before we have to worry about the scheduler or any
exception handling. We ensure that the previous reset of MDSCR_EL1 has
completed before unmasking the exception, so that any spurious
exceptions resulting from UNKNOWN debug registers are not generated.

Without this patch applied, the kprobes selftests have been seen to fail
under KVM, where we end up attempting to step the OOL instruction buffer
with PSTATE.D set and therefore fail to complete the step.

<title>arm64: kernel: Save and restore UAO and addr_limit on exception entry</title>

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.

Hibernate relies on cpu hotplug to prevent secondary cores executing
the kernel text while it is being restored.

Add a call to cpus_are_stuck_in_kernel() to determine if there are
CPUs not counted by 'num_online_cpus()', and prevent hibernate in this
case.

<title>arm64: smp: Add function to determine if cpus are stuck in the kernel</title>

kernel/smp.c has a fancy counter that keeps track of the number of CPUs
it marked as not-present and left in cpu_park_loop(). If there are any
CPUs spinning in here, features like kexec or hibernate may release them
by overwriting this memory.

This problem also occurs on machines using spin-tables to release
secondary cores.
After commit 44dbcc93ab67 ("arm64: Fix behavior of maxcpus=N")
we bring all known cpus into the secondary holding pen, meaning this
memory can't be re-used by kexec or hibernate.

Add a function cpus_are_stuck_in_kernel() to determine if either of these
cases have occurred.
