<title>arm64: Ask the compiler to __always_inline functions used by KVM at HYP</title>

KVM uses some of the static-inline helpers like icache_is_vipt() from
its HYP code. This assumes the function is inlined so that the code is
mapped to EL2. The compiler may decide not to inline these, and the
out-of-line version may not be in the __hyp_text section.

Add the additional __always_ hint to these static-inlines that are used
by KVM.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:

 - arm64 support for syscall emulation via PTRACE_SYSEMU{,_SINGLESTEP}

 - Wire up VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS for arm64, allowing the core code to
   manage the permissions of executable vmalloc regions more strictly

 - Slight performance improvement by keeping softirqs enabled while
   touching the FPSIMD/SVE state (kernel_neon_begin/end)

 - Expose a couple of ARMv8.5 features to user (HWCAP): CondM (new
   XAFLAG and AXFLAG instructions for floating point comparison flags
   manipulation) and FRINT (rounding floating point numbers to integers)

 - Re-instate ARM64_PSEUDO_NMI support which was previously marked as
   BROKEN due to some bugs (now fixed)

 - Improve parking of stopped CPUs and implement an arm64-specific
   panic_smp_self_stop() to avoid warning on not being able to stop
   secondary CPUs during panic

 - perf: enable the ARM Statistical Profiling Extensions (SPE) on ACPI
   platforms

 - perf: DDR performance monitor support for iMX8QXP

 - cache_line_size() can now be set from DT or ACPI/PPTT if provided to
   cope with a system cache info not exposed via the CPUID registers

 - Avoid warning on hardware cache line size greater than
   ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN if the system is fully coherent

 - arm64 do_page_fault() and hugetlb cleanups

 - Refactor set_pte_at() to avoid redundant READ_ONCE(*ptep)

 - Ignore ACPI 5.1 FADTs reported as 5.0 (infer from the
   'arm_boot_flags' introduced in 5.1)

 - CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE now enabled in defconfig

 - Allow the selection of ARM64_MODULE_PLTS, currently only done via
   RANDOMIZE_BASE (and an erratum workaround), allowing modules to spill
   over into the vmalloc area

 - Make ZONE_DMA32 configurable

<title>arm64: IPI each CPU after invalidating the I-cache for kernel mappings</title>
<updated>2018-07-05T16:24:36+00:00</updated>

<id>3b8c9f1cdfc506e94e992ae66b68bbe416f89610</id>
<content type='text'>
When invalidating the instruction cache for a kernel mapping via
flush_icache_range(), it is also necessary to flush the pipeline for
other CPUs so that instructions fetched into the pipeline before the
I-cache invalidation are discarded. For example, if module 'foo' is
unloaded and then module 'bar' is loaded into the same area of memory,
a CPU could end up executing instructions from 'foo' when branching into
'bar' if these instructions were fetched into the pipeline before 'foo'
was unloaded.

Whilst this is highly unlikely to occur in practice, particularly as
any exception acts as a context-synchronizing operation, following the
letter of the architecture requires us to execute an ISB on each CPU
in order for the new instruction stream to be visible.

<title>arm64: Add support for new control bits CTR_EL0.DIC and CTR_EL0.IDC</title>

<id>6ae4b6e0578886eb36cedbf99f04031d93f9e315</id>
<content type='text'>
The DCache clean &amp; ICache invalidation requirements for instructions
to be data coherence are discoverable through new fields in CTR_EL0.
The following two control bits DIC and IDC were defined for this
purpose. No need to perform point of unification cache maintenance
operations from software on systems where CPU caches are transparent.

This patch optimize the three functions __flush_cache_user_range(),
clean_dcache_area_pou() and invalidate_icache_range() if the hardware
reports CTR_EL0.IDC and/or CTR_EL0.IDC. Basically it skips the two
instructions 'DC CVAU' and 'IC IVAU', and the associated loop logic
in order to avoid the unnecessary overhead.

CTR_EL0.DIC: Instruction cache invalidation requirements for
 instruction to data coherence. The meaning of this bit[29].
  0: Instruction cache invalidation to the point of unification
     is required for instruction to data coherence.
  1: Instruction cache cleaning to the point of unification is
      not required for instruction to data coherence.

CTR_EL0.IDC: Data cache clean requirements for instruction to data
 coherence. The meaning of this bit[28].
  0: Data cache clean to the point of unification is required for
     instruction to data coherence, unless CLIDR_EL1.LoC == 0b000
     or (CLIDR_EL1.LoUIS == 0b000 &amp;&amp; CLIDR_EL1.LoUU == 0b000).
  1: Data cache clean to the point of unification is not required
     for instruction to data coherence.

     instruction to data coherence, unless CLIDR_EL1.LoC == 0b000
     or (CLIDR_EL1.LoUIS == 0b000 &amp;&amp; CLIDR_EL1.LoUU == 0b000).
  1: Data cache clean to the point of unification is not required
     for instruction to data coherence.

<title>arm64: KVM: Add invalidate_icache_range helper</title>

We currently tightly couple dcache clean with icache invalidation,
but KVM could do without the initial flush to PoU, as we've
already flushed things to PoC.

Let's introduce invalidate_icache_range which is limited to
invalidating the icache from the linear mapping (and thus
has none of the userspace fault handling complexity), and
wire it in KVM instead of flush_icache_range.

<title>arm64: mm: cleanup stale AIVIVT references</title>

Since commit:

  155433cb365ee466 ("arm64: cache: Remove support for ASID-tagged VIVT I-caches")

... the kernel no longer cares about AIVIVT I-caches, as these were
removed from the architecture.

This patch removes the stale references to such I-caches.

The comment in flush_context() is also updated to clarify when and where
the TLB invalidation occurs.
