ARM: ptrace: Restore syscall restart tracing

2023-08-16T20:58:49+00:00

Since commit 4e57a4ddf6b0 ("ARM: 9107/1: syscall: always store
thread_info->abi_syscall"), the seccomp selftests "syscall_restart" has
been broken. This was caused by the restart syscall not being stored to
"abi_syscall" during restart setup before branching to the "local_restart"
label. Tracers would see the wrong syscall, and scno would get overwritten
while returning from the TIF_WORK path. Add the missing store.

ARM: mm: Make virt_to_pfn() a static inline

2023-05-29T09:27:08+00:00

Making virt_to_pfn() a static inline taking a strongly typed
(const void *) makes the contract of a passing a pointer of that
type to the function explicit and exposes any misuse of the
macro virt_to_pfn() acting polymorphic and accepting many types
such as (void *), (unitptr_t) or (unsigned long) as arguments
without warnings.

Doing this is a bit intrusive: virt_to_pfn() requires
PHYS_PFN_OFFSET and PAGE_SHIFT to be defined, and this is defined in
, so this must be included *before* .

The use of macros were obscuring the unclear inclusion order here,
as the macros would eventually be resolved, but a static inline
like this cannot be compiled with unresolved macros.

The naive solution to include  at the top of
 does not work, because  sometimes
includes  at the end of itself, which would create a
confusing inclusion loop. So instead, take the approach to always
unconditionally include  at the end of 

arch/arm uses  explicitly in a lot of places,
however it turns out that if we just unconditionally include
 into  and switch all inclusions of
 to  instead, we enforce the right
order and  will always have access to the
definitions.

Put an inclusion guard in place making it impossible to include
 explicitly.

Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney:

 - Documentation updates

 - Miscellaneous fixes

 - Callback-offload updates, perhaps most notably a new
   RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL Kconfig option that causes all CPUs to be
   offloaded at boot time, regardless of kernel boot parameters.

   This is useful to battery-powered systems such as ChromeOS and
   Android. In addition, a new RCU_NOCB_CPU_CB_BOOST kernel boot
   parameter prevents offloaded callbacks from interfering with
   real-time workloads and with energy-efficiency mechanisms

 - Polled grace-period updates, perhaps most notably making these APIs
   account for both normal and expedited grace periods

 - Tasks RCU updates, perhaps most notably reducing the CPU overhead of
   RCU tasks trace grace periods by more than a factor of two on a
   system with 15,000 tasks.

   The reduction is expected to increase with the number of tasks, so it
   seems reasonable to hypothesize that a system with 150,000 tasks
   might see a 20-fold reduction in CPU overhead

 - Torture-test updates

 - Updates that merge RCU's dyntick-idle tracking into context tracking,
   thus reducing the overhead of transitioning to kernel mode from
   either idle or nohz_full userspace execution for kernels that track
   context independently of RCU.

   This is expected to be helpful primarily for kernels built with
   CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y

ARM: 9208/1: entry: add .ltorg directive to keep literals in range

2022-07-14T12:19:51+00:00

LKP reports a build issue on Clang, related to a literal load of
__current issued through the ldr_va macro. This turns out to be due to
the fact that group relocations are disabled when CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST=y,
which means that the ldr_va macro resolves to a pair of LDR
instructions, the first one being a literal load issued too far from its
literal pool.

Due to the introduction of a couple of new uses of this macro in commit
508074607c7b95b2 ("ARM: 9195/1: entry: avoid explicit literal loads"),
the literal pools end up getting rearranged in a way that causes the
literal for __current to go out of range. Let's fix this up by putting a
.ltorg directive in a suitable place in the code.

context_tracking: Split user tracking Kconfig

2022-06-30T00:04:09+00:00

Context tracking is going to be used not only to track user transitions
but also idle/IRQs/NMIs. The user tracking part will then become a
separate feature. Prepare Kconfig for that.

ARM: 9199/1: spectre-bhb: use local DSB and elide ISB in loop8 sequence

2022-05-20T11:33:47+00:00

The loop8 mitigation for Spectre-BHB only requires a CPU local DSB
rather than a systemwide one, which is much more costly. And by the same
reasoning as why it is justified to omit the ISB after BPIALL, we can
also elide the ISB and rely on the exception return for the context
synchronization.

ARM: 9195/1: entry: avoid explicit literal loads

2022-05-20T11:32:32+00:00

ARMv7 has MOVW/MOVT instruction pairs to load symbol addresses into
registers without having to rely on literal loads that go via the
D-cache.  For older cores, we now support a similar arrangement, based
on PC-relative group relocations.

This means we can elide most literal loads entirely from the entry path,
by switching to the ldr_va macro to emit the appropriate sequence
depending on the target architecture revision.

While at it, switch to the bl_r macro for invoking the right PABT/DABT
helpers instead of setting the LR register explicitly, which does not
play well with cores that speculate across function returns.

 "Updates for IRQ stacks and virtually mapped stack support, and ftrace:

   - Support for IRQ and vmap'ed stacks

     This covers all the work related to implementing IRQ stacks and
     vmap'ed stacks for all 32-bit ARM systems that are currently
     supported by the Linux kernel, including RiscPC and Footbridge. It
     has been submitted for review in four different waves:

      - IRQ stacks support for v7 SMP systems [0]

      - vmap'ed stacks support for v7 SMP systems[1]

      - extending support for both IRQ stacks and vmap'ed stacks for all
        remaining configurations, including v6/v7 SMP multiplatform
        kernels and uniprocessor configurations including v7-M [2]

      - fixes and updates in [3]

   - ftrace fixes and cleanups

     Make all flavors of ftrace available on all builds, regardless of
     ISA choice, unwinder choice or compiler [4]:

      - use ADD not POP where possible

      - fix a couple of Thumb2 related issues

      - enable HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_FP_TEST for robustness

      - enable the graph tracer with the EABI unwinder

      - avoid clobbering frame pointer registers to make Clang happy

   - Fixes for the above"
