When built with PROVE_LOCKING, NO_HZ_FULL, and CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE
will WARN() at boot time that interrupts are enabled when we call
context_tracking_user_enter(), despite the DAIF flags indicating that
IRQs are masked.

The problem is that we're not tracking IRQ flag changes accurately, and
so lockdep believes interrupts are enabled when they are not (and
vice-versa). We can shuffle things so to make this more accurate. For
kernel-&gt;user transitions there are a number of constraints we need to
consider:

1) When we call __context_tracking_user_enter() HW IRQs must be disabled
   and lockdep must be up-to-date with this.

2) Userspace should be treated as having IRQs enabled from the PoV of
   both lockdep and tracing.

3) As context_tracking_user_enter() stops RCU from watching, we cannot
   use RCU after calling it.

4) IRQ flag tracing and lockdep have state that must be manipulated
   before RCU is disabled.

... with similar constraints applying for user-&gt;kernel transitions, with
the ordering reversed.

The generic entry code has enter_from_user_mode() and
exit_to_user_mode() helpers to handle this. We can't use those directly,
so we add arm64 copies for now (without the instrumentation markers
which aren't used on arm64). These replace the existing user_exit() and
user_exit_irqoff() calls spread throughout handlers, and the exception
unmasking is left as-is.

Note that:

* The accounting for debug exceptions from userspace now happens in
  el0_dbg() and ret_to_user(), so this is removed from
  debug_exception_enter() and debug_exception_exit(). As
  user_exit_irqoff() wakes RCU, the userspace-specific check is removed.

* The accounting for syscalls now happens in el0_svc(),
  el0_svc_compat(), and ret_to_user(), so this is removed from
  el0_svc_common(). This does not adversely affect the workaround for
  erratum 1463225, as this does not depend on any of the state tracking.

* In ret_to_user() we mask interrupts with local_daif_mask(), and so we
  need to inform lockdep and tracing. Here a trace_hardirqs_off() is
  sufficient and safe as we have not yet exited kernel context and RCU
  is usable.

* As PROVE_LOCKING selects TRACE_IRQFLAGS, the ifdeferry in entry.S only
  needs to check for the latter.

* EL0 SError handling will be dealt with in a subsequent patch, as this
  needs to be treated as an NMI.

Prior to this patch, booting an appropriately-configured kernel would
result in spats as below:

<title>arm64: entry: move el1 irq/nmi logic to C</title>

<id>105fc3352077bba5faaf12cf39f7e3aad26fb70b</id>
<content type='text'>
In preparation for reworking the EL1 irq/nmi entry code, move the
existing logic to C. We no longer need the asm_nmi_enter() and
asm_nmi_exit() wrappers, so these are removed. The new C functions are
marked noinstr, which prevents compiler instrumentation and runtime
probing.

In subsequent patches we'll want the new C helpers to be called in all
cases, so we don't bother wrapping the calls with ifdeferry. Even when
the new C functions are stubs the trivial calls are unlikely to have a
measurable impact on the IRQ or NMI paths anyway.

Prototypes are added to &lt;asm/exception.h&gt; as otherwise (in some
configurations) GCC will complain about the lack of a forward
declaration. We already do this for existing function, e.g.
enter_from_user_mode().

The new helpers are marked as noinstr (which prevents all
instrumentation, tracing, and kprobes). Otherwise, there should be no
functional change as a result of this patch.

In a subsequent patch ret_to_user will need to make a C function call
(in some configurations) which may clobber x0-x18 at the start of the
finish_ret_to_user block, before enable_step_tsk consumes the flags
loaded into x1.

In preparation for this, let's load the flags into x19, which is
preserved across C function calls. This avoids a redundant reload of the
flags and ensures we operate on a consistent shapshot regardless.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch. At this
point of the entry/exit paths we only need to preserve x28 (tsk) and the
sp, and x19 is free for this use.

<title>arm64: Add workaround for Arm Cortex-A77 erratum 1508412</title>

<id>96d389ca10110d7eefb46feb6af9a0c6832f78f5</id>
<content type='text'>
On Cortex-A77 r0p0 and r1p0, a sequence of a non-cacheable or device load
and a store exclusive or PAR_EL1 read can cause a deadlock.

The workaround requires a DMB SY before and after a PAR_EL1 register
read. In addition, it's possible an interrupt (doing a device read) or
KVM guest exit could be taken between the DMB and PAR read, so we
also need a DMB before returning from interrupt and before returning to
a guest.

A deadlock is still possible with the workaround as KVM guests must also
have the workaround. IOW, a malicious guest can deadlock an affected
systems.

This workaround also depends on a firmware counterpart to enable the h/w
to insert DMB SY after load and store exclusive instructions. See the
errata document SDEN-1152370 v10 [1] for more information.

Rewrite the Spectre-v4 mitigation handling code to follow the same
approach as that taken by Spectre-v2.

For now, report to KVM that the system is vulnerable (by forcing
'ssbd_state' to ARM64_SSBD_UNKNOWN), as this will be cleared up in
subsequent steps.

<title>arm64: Remove Spectre-related CONFIG_* options</title>

The spectre mitigations are too configurable for their own good, leading
to confusing logic trying to figure out when we should mitigate and when
we shouldn't. Although the plethora of command-line options need to stick
around for backwards compatibility, the default-on CONFIG options that
depend on EXPERT can be dropped, as the mitigations only do anything if
the system is vulnerable, a mitigation is available and the command-line
hasn't disabled it.

Remove CONFIG_HARDEN_BRANCH_PREDICTOR and CONFIG_ARM64_SSBD in favour of
enabling this code unconditionally.

<title>arm64: mte: Handle synchronous and asynchronous tag check faults</title>

<id>637ec831ea4f09c7529ac4078399ce4e25b46341</id>
<content type='text'>
The Memory Tagging Extension has two modes of notifying a tag check
fault at EL0, configurable through the SCTLR_EL1.TCF0 field:

1. Synchronous raising of a Data Abort exception with DFSC 17.
2. Asynchronous setting of a cumulative bit in TFSRE0_EL1.

Add the exception handler for the synchronous exception and handling of
the asynchronous TFSRE0_EL1.TF0 bit setting via a new TIF flag in
do_notify_resume().

On a tag check failure in user-space, whether synchronous or
asynchronous, a SIGSEGV will be raised on the faulting thread.

<title>arm64: Move handling of erratum 1418040 into C code</title>

<content type='text'>
Instead of dealing with erratum 1418040 on each entry and exit,
let's move the handling to __switch_to() instead, which has
several advantages:

- It can be applied when it matters (switching between 32 and 64
  bit tasks).
- It is written in C (yay!)
- It can rely on static keys rather than alternatives

Pull arm64 and cross-arch updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "Here's a slightly wider-spread set of updates for 5.9.

  Going outside the usual arch/arm64/ area is the removal of
  read_barrier_depends() series from Will and the MSI/IOMMU ID
  translation series from Lorenzo.

  The notable arm64 updates include ARMv8.4 TLBI range operations and
  translation level hint, time namespace support, and perf.

  Summary:

   - Removal of the tremendously unpopular read_barrier_depends()
     barrier, which is a NOP on all architectures apart from Alpha, in
     favour of allowing architectures to override READ_ONCE() and do
     whatever dance they need to do to ensure address dependencies
     provide LOAD -&gt; LOAD/STORE ordering.

     This work also offers a potential solution if compilers are shown
     to convert LOAD -&gt; LOAD address dependencies into control
     dependencies (e.g. under LTO), as weakly ordered architectures will
     effectively be able to upgrade READ_ONCE() to smp_load_acquire().
     The latter case is not used yet, but will be discussed further at
     LPC.

   - Make the MSI/IOMMU input/output ID translation PCI agnostic,
     augment the MSI/IOMMU ACPI/OF ID mapping APIs to accept an input ID
     bus-specific parameter and apply the resulting changes to the
     device ID space provided by the Freescale FSL bus.

   - arm64 support for TLBI range operations and translation table level
     hints (part of the ARMv8.4 architecture version).

   - Time namespace support for arm64.

   - Export the virtual and physical address sizes in vmcoreinfo for
     makedumpfile and crash utilities.

   - CPU feature handling cleanups and checks for programmer errors
     (overlapping bit-fields).

   - ACPI updates for arm64: disallow AML accesses to EFI code regions
     and kernel memory.

   - perf updates for arm64.

   - Miscellaneous fixes and cleanups, most notably PLT counting
     optimisation for module loading, recordmcount fix to ignore
     relocations other than R_AARCH64_CALL26, CMA areas reserved for
     gigantic pages on 16K and 64K configurations.

   - Trivial typos, duplicate words"
