commit 0e68b5517d3767562889f1d83fdb828c26adb24f upstream.

Running a rt-kernel base on 6.2.0-rc3-rt1 on an Ampere Altra outputs

commit 1b561d3949f8478c5403c9752b5533211a757226 upstream.

Allocated 'ffh_ctxt' memory leak is possible if the SMCCC version
and conduit checks fail and -EOPNOTSUPP is returned without freeing the
allocated memory.

Fix the same by moving the allocation after the SMCCC version and
conduit checks.

[ Upstream commit 50daf5b7c4ec4efcaf49a4128930f872bec7dbc0 ]

Since it was added our hwcap for DIT has specified that DIT is a signed
field but this appears to be incorrect, the two values for the enumeration
are:

	0b0000	NI
	0b0001	IMP

which look like a normal unsigned enumeration and the in-kernel DIT usage
added by 01ab991fc0ee ("arm64: Enable data independent timing (DIT) in the
kernel") detects the feature with an unsigned enum. Fix the hwcap to specify
the field as unsigned.

Pull arm64 regression fix from Will Deacon:
 "Apologies for the _extremely_ late pull request here, but we had a
  'perf' (i.e. CPU PMU) regression on the Apple M1 reported on Wednesday
  [1] which was introduced by bd2756811766 ("perf: Rewrite core context

  Mark and I looked into this and noticed an additional problem caused
  by the same patch, where the 'CHAIN' event (used to combine two
  adjacent 32-bit counters into a single 64-bit counter) was not being
  filtered correctly. Mark posted a series on Thursday [2] which
  addresses both of these regressions and I queued it the same day.

  The changes are small, self-contained and have been confirmed to fix
  the original regression.

Currently it's possible for a user to open CHAIN events arbitrarily,
which we previously tried to rule out in commit:

  ca2b497253ad01c8 ("arm64: perf: Reject stand-alone CHAIN events for PMUv3")

Which allowed the events to be opened, but prevented them from being
scheduled by by using an arm_pmu::filter_match hook to reject the
relevant events.

The CHAIN event filtering in the arm_pmu::filter_match hook was silently
removed in commit:

  bd27568117664b8b ("perf: Rewrite core context handling")

As a result, it's now possible for users to open CHAIN events, and for
these to be installed arbitrarily.

Fix this by rejecting CHAIN events at creation time. This avoids the
creation of events which will never count, and doesn't require using the
dynamic filtering.

Attempting to open a CHAIN event (0x1e) will now be rejected:

| # ./perf stat -e armv8_pmuv3/config=0x1e/ ls
| perf
|
|  Performance counter stats for 'ls':
|
|    &lt;not supported&gt;      armv8_pmuv3/config=0x1e/

|
|        0.000000000 seconds user

Other events (e.g. CPU_CYCLES / 0x11) will open as usual:

| # ./perf stat -e armv8_pmuv3/config=0x11/ ls
| perf
|
|  Performance counter stats for 'ls':

Janne reports that perf has been broken on Apple M1 as of commit:

  bd27568117664b8b ("perf: Rewrite core context handling")

That commit replaced the pmu::filter_match() callback with
pmu::filter(), whose return value has the opposite polarity, with true
implying events should be ignored rather than scheduled. While an
attempt was made to update the logic in armv8pmu_filter() and
armpmu_filter() accordingly, the return value remains inverted in a
couple of cases:

* If the arm_pmu does not have an arm_pmu::filter() callback,
  armpmu_filter() will always return whether the CPU is supported rather
  than whether the CPU is not supported.

  As a result, the perf core will not schedule events on supported CPUs,
  resulting in a loss of events. Additionally, the perf core will
  attempt to schedule events on unsupported CPUs, but this will be
  rejected by armpmu_add(), which may result in a loss of events from
  other PMUs on those unsupported CPUs.

* If the arm_pmu does have an arm_pmu::filter() callback, and
  armpmu_filter() is called on a CPU which is not supported by the
  arm_pmu, armpmu_filter() will return false rather than true.

  As a result, the perf core will attempt to schedule events on
  unsupported CPUs, but this will be rejected by armpmu_add(), which may
  result in a loss of events from other PMUs on those unsupported CPUs.

This means a loss of events can be seen with any arm_pmu driver, but
with the ARMv8 PMUv3 driver (which is the only arm_pmu driver with an
arm_pmu::filter() callback) the event loss will be more limited and may
go unnoticed, which is how this issue evaded testing so far.

Fix the CPU filtering by performing this consistently in
armpmu_filter(), and remove the redundant arm_pmu::filter() callback and
armv8pmu_filter() implementation.

Commit bd2756811766 also silently removed the CHAIN event filtering from
armv8pmu_filter(), which will be addressed by a separate patch without
using the filter callback.

Janne reports that perf has been broken on Apple M1 as of commit:

  bd27568117664b8b ("perf: Rewrite core context handling")

That commit replaced the pmu::filter_match() callback with
pmu::filter(), whose return value has the opposite polarity, with true
implying events should be ignored rather than scheduled. While an
attempt was made to update the logic in armv8pmu_filter() and
armpmu_filter() accordingly, the return value remains inverted in a
couple of cases:

* If the arm_pmu does not have an arm_pmu::filter() callback,
  armpmu_filter() will always return whether the CPU is supported rather
  than whether the CPU is not supported.

  As a result, the perf core will not schedule events on supported CPUs,
  resulting in a loss of events. Additionally, the perf core will
  attempt to schedule events on unsupported CPUs, but this will be
  rejected by armpmu_add(), which may result in a loss of events from
  other PMUs on those unsupported CPUs.

* If the arm_pmu does have an arm_pmu::filter() callback, and
  armpmu_filter() is called on a CPU which is not supported by the
  arm_pmu, armpmu_filter() will return false rather than true.

  As a result, the perf core will attempt to schedule events on
  unsupported CPUs, but this will be rejected by armpmu_add(), which may
  result in a loss of events from other PMUs on those unsupported CPUs.

This means a loss of events can be seen with any arm_pmu driver, but
with the ARMv8 PMUv3 driver (which is the only arm_pmu driver with an

The EFI runtime services run from a dedicated stack now, and so the
stack unwinder needs to be informed about this.

Comparing current_work() against efi_rts_work.work is sufficient to
decide whether current is currently running EFI runtime services code at
any level in its call stack.

However, there are other potential users of the EFI runtime stack, such
as the ACPI subsystem, which may invoke efi_call_virt_pointer()
directly, and so any sync exceptions occurring in firmware during those
calls are currently misidentified.

So instead, let's check whether the stashed value of the thread stack
pointer points into current's thread stack. This can only be the case if
current was interrupted while running EFI runtime code. Note that this
implies that we should clear the stashed value after switching back, to
avoid false positives.
