<title>arm64/sme: Implement SVCR context switching</title>

In SME the use of both streaming SVE mode and ZA are tracked through
PSTATE.SM and PSTATE.ZA, visible through the system register SVCR.  In
order to context switch the floating point state for SME we need to
context switch the contents of this register as part of context
switching the floating point state.

Since changing the vector length exits streaming SVE mode and disables
ZA we also make sure we update SVCR appropriately when setting vector
length, and similarly ensure that new threads have streaming SVE mode
and ZA disabled.

As for SVE we will track a per task SME vector length for tasks. Convert
the existing storage for the vector length into an array and update
fpsimd_flush_task() to initialise this in a function.

The CPU field will be moved back into thread_info even when
THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is enabled, so add it back to arm64's definition of
struct thread_info.

Note that arm64 always has CONFIG_SMP=y so there is no point in guarding
the CPU field with an #ifdef.

<title>arm64: make _TIF_WORK_MASK bits contiguous</title>

<content type='text'>
We need the bits of _TIF_WORK_MASK to be contiguous in order to to use
this as an immediate argument to an AND instruction in entry.S.

We happened to change these bits in commits:

  b5a5a01d8e9a ("arm64: uaccess: remove addr_limit_user_check()")
  192caabd4dd9 ("arm64: add support for TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL")

which each worked in isolation, but the merge resolution in commit:

  005b2a9dc819 ("Merge tag 'tif-task_work.arch-2020-12-14' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block")

happened to make the bits non-contiguous.

Fix this by moving TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL to be bit 6, which is contiguous
with the rest of _TIF_WORK_MASK.

Otherwise, we'll get a build-time failure as below:

   arch/arm64/kernel/entry.S: Assembler messages:
   arch/arm64/kernel/entry.S:733: Error: immediate out of range at operand 3 -- `and x2,x19,#((1&lt;&lt;1)|(1&lt;&lt;0)|(1&lt;&lt;2)|(1&lt;&lt;3)|(1&lt;&lt;4)|(1&lt;&lt;5)|(1&lt;&lt;7))'

Pull TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This sits on top of of the core entry/exit and x86 entry branch from
  the tip tree, which contains the generic and x86 parts of this work.

  Here we convert the rest of the archs to support TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL.

  With that done, we can get rid of JOBCTL_TASK_WORK from task_work and
  signal.c, and also remove a deadlock work-around in io_uring around
  knowing that signal based task_work waking is invoked with the sighand
  wait queue head lock.

  The motivation for this work is to decouple signal notify based
  task_work, of which io_uring is a heavy user of, from sighand. The
  sighand lock becomes a huge contention point, particularly for
  threaded workloads where it's shared between threads. Even outside of
  threaded applications it's slower than it needs to be.

  Roman Gershman &lt;romger@amazon.com&gt; reported that his networked
  workload dropped from 1.6M QPS at 80% CPU to 1.0M QPS at 100% CPU
  after io_uring was changed to use TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL. The time was all
  spent hammering on the sighand lock, showing 57% of the CPU time there
  [1].

  There are further cleanups possible on top of this. One example is
  TIF_PATCH_PENDING, where a patch already exists to use
  TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL instead. Hopefully this will also lead to more
  consolidation, but the work stands on its own as well"

  knowing that signal based task_work waking is invoked with the sighand
  wait queue head lock.

  The motivation for this work is to decouple signal notify based
  task_work, of which io_uring is a heavy user of, from sighand. The
  sighand lock becomes a huge contention point, particularly for
  threaded workloads where it's shared between threads. Even outside of
  threaded applications it's slower than it needs to be.

  Roman Gershman &lt;romger@amazon.com&gt; reported that his networked
  workload dropped from 1.6M QPS at 80% CPU to 1.0M QPS at 100% CPU
  after io_uring was changed to use TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL. The time was all
  spent hammering on the sighand lock, showing 57% of the CPU time there
  [1].

  There are further cleanups possible on top of this. One example is
  TIF_PATCH_PENDING, where a patch already exists to use
  TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL instead. Hopefully this will also lead to more
  consolidation, but the work stands on its own as well"

Now that set_fs() is gone, addr_limit_user_check() is redundant. Remove
the checks and associated thread flag.

To ensure that _TIF_WORK_MASK can be used as an immediate value in an
AND instruction (as it is in `ret_to_user`), TIF_MTE_ASYNC_FAULT is
renumbered to keep the constituent bits of _TIF_WORK_MASK contiguous.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Now that the uaccess primitives dont take addr_limit into account, we
have no need to manipulate this via set_fs() and get_fs(). Remove
support for these, along with some infrastructure this renders
redundant.

We no longer need to flip UAO to access kernel memory under KERNEL_DS,
and head.S unconditionally clears UAO for all kernel configurations via
an ERET in init_kernel_el. Thus, we don't need to dynamically flip UAO,
nor do we need to context-switch it. However, we still need to adjust
PAN during SDEI entry.

Masking of __user pointers no longer needs to use the dynamic value of
addr_limit, and can use a constant derived from the maximum possible
userspace task size. A new TASK_SIZE_MAX constant is introduced for
this, which is also used by core code. In configurations supporting
52-bit VAs, this may include a region of unusable VA space above a
48-bit TTBR0 limit, but never includes any portion of TTBR1.

Note that TASK_SIZE_MAX is an exclusive limit, while USER_DS and
KERNEL_DS were inclusive limits, and is converted to a mask by
subtracting one.

As the SDEI entry code repurposes the otherwise unnecessary
pt_regs::orig_addr_limit field to store the TTBR1 of the interrupted
context, for now we rename that to pt_regs::sdei_ttbr1. In future we can
consider factoring that out.
