commit ba2689234be92024e5635d30fe744f4853ad97db upstream.

Some CPUs affected by Spectre-BHB need a sequence of branches, or a
firmware call to be run before any indirect branch. This needs to go
in the vectors. No CPU needs both.

While this can be patched in, it would run on all CPUs as there is a
single set of vectors. If only one part of a big/little combination is
affected, the unaffected CPUs have to run the mitigation too.

Create extra vectors that include the sequence. Subsequent patches will
allow affected CPUs to select this set of vectors. Later patches will
modify the loop count to match what the CPU requires.

commit 6b7fe77c334ae59fed9500140e08f4f896b36871 upstream.

SMCCC callers are currently amassing a collection of enums for the SMCCC
conduit, and are having to dig into the PSCI driver's internals in order
to figure out what to do.

Let's clean this up, with common SMCCC_CONDUIT_* definitions, and an
arm_smccc_1_1_get_conduit() helper that abstracts the PSCI driver's
internal state.

We can kill off the PSCI_CONDUIT_* definitions once we've migrated users
over to the new interface.

<title>arm/arm64: Provide a wrapper for SMCCC 1.1 calls</title>

commit 541625ac47ce9d0835efaee0fcbaa251b0000a37 upstream.

SMCCC 1.1 calls may use either HVC or SMC depending on the PSCI
conduit. Rather than coding this in every call site, provide a macro
which uses the correct instruction. The macro also handles the case
where no conduit is configured/available returning a not supported error
in res, along with returning the conduit used for the call.

This allow us to remove some duplicated code and will be useful later
when adding paravirtualized time hypervisor calls.

<title>KVM: arm64: ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 doesn't return SMCCC_RET_NOT_REQUIRED</title>

commit 1de111b51b829bcf01d2e57971f8fd07a665fa3f upstream.

According to the SMCCC spec[1](7.5.2 Discovery) the
ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 function id only returns 0, 1, and
SMCCC_RET_NOT_SUPPORTED.

 0 is "workaround required and safe to call this function"
 1 is "workaround not required but safe to call this function"
 SMCCC_RET_NOT_SUPPORTED is "might be vulnerable or might not be, who knows, I give up!"

SMCCC_RET_NOT_SUPPORTED might as well mean "workaround required, except
calling this function may not work because it isn't implemented in some
cases". Wonderful. We map this SMC call to

 0 is SPECTRE_MITIGATED
 1 is SPECTRE_UNAFFECTED
 SMCCC_RET_NOT_SUPPORTED is SPECTRE_VULNERABLE

For KVM hypercalls (hvc), we've implemented this function id to return
SMCCC_RET_NOT_SUPPORTED, 0, and SMCCC_RET_NOT_REQUIRED. One of those
isn't supposed to be there. Per the code we call
arm64_get_spectre_v2_state() to figure out what to return for this
feature discovery call.

 0 is SPECTRE_MITIGATED
 SMCCC_RET_NOT_REQUIRED is SPECTRE_UNAFFECTED
 SMCCC_RET_NOT_SUPPORTED is SPECTRE_VULNERABLE

Let's clean this up so that KVM tells the guest this mapping:

 0 is SPECTRE_MITIGATED
 1 is SPECTRE_UNAFFECTED
 SMCCC_RET_NOT_SUPPORTED is SPECTRE_VULNERABLE

Note: SMCCC_RET_NOT_AFFECTED is 1 but isn't part of the SMCCC spec

	extern u64 foo(void);

	void bar(struct arm_smccc_res *res)
	{
		arm_smccc_1_1_smc(0xbad, foo(), res);
	}

they are in for a surprise, as this gets compiled as:

	0000000000000588 &lt;bar&gt;:
	 588:   a9be7bfd        stp     x29, x30, [sp, #-32]!

	 5c0:   d65f03c0        ret

The call to foo "overwrites" the x0 register for the return value,
and we end up calling the wrong secure service.

A solution is to evaluate all the parameters before assigning
anything to specific registers, leading to the expected result:

<title>arm/arm64: smccc-1.1: Make return values unsigned long</title>

An unfortunate consequence of having a strong typing for the input
values to the SMC call is that it also affects the type of the
return values, limiting r0 to 32 bits and r{1,2,3} to whatever
was passed as an input.

Let's turn everything into "unsigned long", which satisfies the
requirements of both architectures, and allows for the full
range of return values.

<title>arm64: Call ARCH_WORKAROUND_2 on transitions between EL0 and EL1</title>

In order for the kernel to protect itself, let's call the SSBD mitigation
implemented by the higher exception level (either hypervisor or firmware)
on each transition between userspace and kernel.

We must take the PSCI conduit into account in order to target the
right exception level, hence the introduction of a runtime patching
callback.

We've so far used the PSCI return codes for SMCCC because they
were extremely similar. But with the new ARM DEN 0070A specification,
"NOT_REQUIRED" (-2) is clashing with PSCI's "PSCI_RET_INVALID_PARAMS".

Let's bite the bullet and add SMCCC specific return codes. Users
can be repainted as and when required.

<title>arm/arm64: smccc: Implement SMCCC v1.1 inline primitive</title>

One of the major improvement of SMCCC v1.1 is that it only clobbers
the first 4 registers, both on 32 and 64bit. This means that it
becomes very easy to provide an inline version of the SMC call
primitive, and avoid performing a function call to stash the
registers that would otherwise be clobbered by SMCCC v1.0.
