<title>arm64: fix rodata=full</title>

<id>2e8cff0a0eee87b27f0cf87ad8310eb41b5886ab</id>
<content type='text'>
On arm64, "rodata=full" has been suppored (but not documented) since
commit:

  c55191e96caa9d78 ("arm64: mm: apply r/o permissions of VM areas to its linear alias as well")

As it's necessary to determine the rodata configuration early during
boot, arm64 has an early_param() handler for this, whereas init/main.c
has a __setup() handler which is run later.

Unfortunately, this split meant that since commit:

  f9a40b0890658330 ("init/main.c: return 1 from handled __setup() functions")

... passing "rodata=full" would result in a spurious warning from the
__setup() handler (though RO permissions would be configured
appropriately).

Further, "rodata=full" has been broken since commit:

  0d6ea3ac94ca77c5 ("lib/kstrtox.c: add "false"/"true" support to kstrtobool()")

... which caused strtobool() to parse "full" as false (in addition to
many other values not documented for the "rodata=" kernel parameter.

This patch fixes this breakage by:

* Moving the core parameter parser to an __early_param(), such that it
  is available early.

* Adding an (optional) arch hook which arm64 can use to parse "full".

* Updating the documentation to mention that "full" is valid for arm64.

* Having the core parameter parser handle "on" and "off" explicitly,
  such that any undocumented values (e.g. typos such as "ful") are
  reported as errors rather than being silently accepted.

Note that __setup() and early_param() have opposite conventions for
their return values, where __setup() uses 1 to indicate a parameter was
handled and early_param() uses 0 to indicate a parameter was handled.

Fixes: f9a40b089065 ("init/main.c: return 1 from handled __setup() functions")
Fixes: 0d6ea3ac94ca ("lib/kstrtox.c: add "false"/"true" support to kstrtobool()")

It it inconvenient to mention the feature of optimizing vmemmap pages
associated with HugeTLB pages when communicating with others since there
is no specific or abbreviated name for it when it is first introduced. 
Let us give it a name HVO (HugeTLB Vmemmap Optimization) from now.

This commit also updates the document about "hugetlb_free_vmemmap" by the
way discussed in thread [1].

Pull module updates from Luis Chamberlain:
 "For the 6.0 merge window the modules code shifts to cleanup and minor
  fixes effort. This becomes much easier to do and review now due to the
  code split to its own directory from effort on the last kernel
  release. I expect to see more of this with time and as we expand on
  test coverage in the future. The cleanups and fixes come from usual
  suspects such as Christophe Leroy and Aaron Tomlin but there are also
  some other contributors.

  One particular minor fix worth mentioning is from Helge Deller, where
  he spotted a *forever* incorrect natural alignment on both ELF section
  header tables:

    * .altinstructions
    * __bug_table sections

  A lot of back and forth went on in trying to determine the ill effects
  of this misalignment being present for years and it has been
  determined there should be no real ill effects unless you have a buggy
  exception handler. Helge actually hit one of these buggy exception
  handlers on parisc which is how he ended up spotting this issue. When
  implemented correctly these paths with incorrect misalignment would
  just mean a performance penalty, but given that we are dealing with
  alternatives on modules and with the __bug_table (where info regardign
  BUG()/WARN() file/line information associated with it is stored) this
  really shouldn't be a big deal.

  The only other change with mentioning is the kmap() with
  kmap_local_page() and my only concern with that was on what is done
  after preemption, but the virtual addresses are restored after
  preemption. This is only used on module decompression.

  This all has sit on linux-next for a while except the kmap stuff which
  has been there for 3 weeks"

AMD's "Technical Guidance for Mitigating Branch Type Confusion,
Rev. 1.0 2022-07-12" whitepaper, under section 6.1.2 "IBPB On
Privileged Mode Entry / SMT Safety" says:

  Similar to the Jmp2Ret mitigation, if the code on the sibling thread
  cannot be trusted, software should set STIBP to 1 or disable SMT to
  ensure SMT safety when using this mitigation.

So, like already being done for retbleed=unret, and now also for
retbleed=ibpb, force STIBP on machines that have it, and report its SMT
vulnerability status accordingly.

Pull iommu updates from Joerg Roedel:

 - The most intrusive patch is small and changes the default allocation
   policy for DMA addresses.

   Before the change the allocator tried its best to find an address in
   the first 4GB. But that lead to performance problems when that space
   gets exhaused, and since most devices are capable of 64-bit DMA these
   days, we changed it to search in the full DMA-mask range from the
   beginning.

   This change has the potential to uncover bugs elsewhere, in the
   kernel or the hardware. There is a Kconfig option and a command line
   option to restore the old behavior, but none of them is enabled by
   default.

 - Add Robin Murphy as reviewer of IOMMU code and maintainer for the
   dma-iommu and iova code

 - Chaning IOVA magazine size from 1032 to 1024 bytes to save memory

 - Some core code cleanups and dead-code removal

 - Support for ACPI IORT RMR node

 - Support for multiple PCI domains in the AMD-Vi driver

 - ARM SMMU changes from Will Deacon:
      - Add even more Qualcomm device-tree compatible strings
      - Support dumping of IMP DEF Qualcomm registers on TLB sync
        timeout
      - Fix reference count leak on device tree node in Qualcomm driver

 - Intel VT-d driver updates from Lu Baolu:
      - Make intel-iommu.h private
      - Optimize the use of two locks
      - Extend the driver to support large-scale platforms
      - Cleanup some dead code

 - MediaTek IOMMU refactoring and support for TTBR up to 35bit

 - Basic support for Exynos SysMMU v7

 - VirtIO IOMMU driver gets a map/unmap_pages() implementation

 - Other smaller cleanups and fixes
