<title>arm64: access_ok() optimization</title>

<id>d31e86ef6377cbd7e4bbf1e8ff472ff48e04c5d8</id>
<content type='text'>
The TBI setup on arm64 is very strange: HW is set up to always do TBI,
but the kernel enforcement for system calls is purely a software
contract, and user space is supposed to mask off the top bits before the
system call.

Except all the actual brk/mmap/etc() system calls then mask it in kernel
space anyway, and accept any TBI address.

This basically unifies things and makes access_ok() also ignore it.

This is an ABI change, but the current situation is very odd, and this
change avoids the current mess and makes the kernel more permissive, and
as such is unlikely to break anything.

The way forward - for some possible future situation when people want to
use more bits - is probably to introduce a new "I actually want the full
64-bit address space" prctl.  But we should make sure that the software
and hardware rules actually match at that point.

<title>arm64: start using 'asm goto' for put_user()</title>

This generates noticeably better code since we don't need to test the
error register etc, the exception just jumps to the error handling
directly.

Unlike get_user(), there's no need to worry about old compilers. All
supported compilers support the regular non-output 'asm goto', as
pointed out by Nathan Chancellor.

This generates noticeably better code with compilers that support it,
since we don't need to test the error register etc, the exception just
jumps to the error handling directly.

Note that this also marks SW_TTBR0_PAN incompatible with KCSAN support,
since KCSAN wants to save and restore the user access state.

KCSAN and SW_TTBR0_PAN were probably always incompatible, but it became
obvious only when implementing the unsafe user access functions.  At
that point the default empty user_access_save/restore() functions
weren't provided by the default fallback functions.

Pull parisc fix from Helge Deller:
 "On parisc we have suffered since years from random segfaults which
  seem to have been triggered due to cache inconsistencies. Those
  segfaults happened more often on machines with PA8800 and PA8900 CPUs,
  which have much bigger caches than the earlier machines.

  Dave Anglin has worked over the last few weeks to fix this bug. His
  patch has been successfully tested by various people on various
  machines and with various kernels (6.6, 6.8 and 6.9), and the debian
  buildd servers haven't shown a single random segfault with this patch.

  Since the cache handling has been reworked, the patch is slightly
  bigger than I would like in this stage, but the greatly improved
  stability IMHO justifies the inclusion now"
