commit 4b661d6133c5d3a7c9aca0b4ee5a78c7766eff3f upstream.

ARM64_WORKAROUND_1418040 requires that AArch32 EL0 accesses to
the virtual counter register are trapped and emulated by the kernel.
This makes the vdso pretty pointless, and in some cases livelock
prone.

Provide a workaround entry that limits the vdso to 64bit tasks.

commit c1fbec4ac0d701f350a581941d35643d5a9cd184 upstream.

As we are about to disable the vdso for compat tasks in some circumstances,
let's allow a workaround descriptor to express exactly that.

<title>arm64: Introduce a way to disable the 32bit vdso</title>

commit 97884ca8c2925d14c32188e865069f21378b4b4f upstream.

[this is a redesign rather than a backport]

We have a class of errata (grouped under the ARM64_WORKAROUND_1418040
banner) that force the trapping of counter access from 32bit EL0.

We would normally disable the whole vdso for such defect, except that
it would disable it for 64bit userspace as well, which is a shame.

Instead, add a new vdso_clock_mode, which signals that the vdso
isn't usable for compat tasks.  This gets checked in the new
vdso_clocksource_ok() helper, now provided for the 32bit vdso.

Different mechanisms are used to test and set elf_hwcaps between ARM
and ARM64, this results in the use of ifdeferry in this file when
setting/testing for the EVTSTRM hwcap.

Let's improve readability by extracting this to an arch helper.

<title>clocksource/drivers/arm_arch_timer: Don't trace count reader functions</title>

With v5.2-rc1, The ftrace functions_graph tracer locks up whenever it is
enabled on arm64.

Since commit 0ea415390cd3 ("clocksource/arm_arch_timer: Use
arch_timer_read_counter to access stable counters") a function pointer
is consistently used to read the counter instead of potentially
referencing an inlinable function.

The graph tracers relies on accessing the timer counters to compute the
time spent in functions which causes the lockup when attempting to trace
these code paths.

Annotate the arm arch timer counter accessors as notrace.

       arch_timer_read_counter to access stable counters")

Instead of always going via arch_counter_get_cntvct_stable to access the
counter workaround, let's have arch_timer_read_counter point to the
right method.

For that, we need to track whether any CPU in the system has a
workaround for the counter. This is done by having an atomic variable
tracking this.
