<content type='text'>
For historical reasons, the non-KPTI exception return path is duplicated for
EL1 and EL0, with the structure:

	.if \el == 0
	[ KPTI handling ]
	ldr     lr, [sp, #S_LR]
 	add	sp, sp, #PT_REGS_SIZE		// restore sp
	[ EL0 exception return workaround ]
	eret
	.else
	ldr     lr, [sp, #S_LR]
 	add	sp, sp, #PT_REGS_SIZE		// restore sp
	[ EL1 exception return workaround ]
	eret
	.endif
	sb

This would be simpler and clearer with the common portions factored out,
e.g.

	.if \el == 0
	[ KPTI handling ]
	.endif

	ldr     lr, [sp, #S_LR]
 	add	sp, sp, #PT_REGS_SIZE		// restore sp

	.if \el == 0
	[ EL0 exception return workaround ]
	.else
	[ EL1 exception return workaround ]
	.endif

	eret
	sb

This expands to the same code, but is simpler for a human to follow as
it avoids duplicates the restore of LR+SP, and makes it clear that the
ERET is associated with the SB.

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

<title>arm64: entry: fix ARM64_WORKAROUND_SPECULATIVE_UNPRIV_LOAD</title>

<id>832dd634bd1b4e3bbe9f10b9c9ba5db6f6f2b97f</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently the ARM64_WORKAROUND_SPECULATIVE_UNPRIV_LOAD workaround isn't
quite right, as it is supposed to be applied after the last explicit
memory access, but is immediately followed by an LDR.

The ARM64_WORKAROUND_SPECULATIVE_UNPRIV_LOAD workaround is used to
handle Cortex-A520 erratum 2966298 and Cortex-A510 erratum 3117295,
which are described in:

* https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN2444153/0600/?lang=en
* https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN1873361/1600/?lang=en

In both cases the workaround is described as:

| If pagetable isolation is disabled, the context switch logic in the
| kernel can be updated to execute the following sequence on affected
| cores before exiting to EL0, and after all explicit memory accesses:
|
| 1. A non-shareable TLBI to any context and/or address, including
|    unused contexts or addresses, such as a `TLBI VALE1 Xzr`.
|
| 2. A DSB NSH to guarantee completion of the TLBI.

The important part being that the TLBI+DSB must be placed "after all
explicit memory accesses".

Unfortunately, as-implemented, the TLBI+DSB is immediately followed by
an LDR, as we have:

| alternative_if ARM64_WORKAROUND_SPECULATIVE_UNPRIV_LOAD
| 	tlbi	vale1, xzr
| 	dsb	nsh
| alternative_else_nop_endif
| alternative_if_not ARM64_UNMAP_KERNEL_AT_EL0
| 	ldr	lr, [sp, #S_LR]
| 	add	sp, sp, #PT_REGS_SIZE		// restore sp
| 	eret
| alternative_else_nop_endif
|
| [ ... KPTI exception return path ... ]

This patch fixes this by reworking the logic to place the TLBI+DSB
immediately before the ERET, after all explicit memory accesses.

The ERET is currently in a separate alternative block, and alternatives
cannot be nested. To account for this, the alternative block for
ARM64_UNMAP_KERNEL_AT_EL0 is replaced with a single alternative branch
to skip the KPTI logic, with the new shape of the logic being:

| alternative_insn "b .L_skip_tramp_exit_\@", nop, ARM64_UNMAP_KERNEL_AT_EL0
| 	[ ... KPTI exception return path ... ]
| .L_skip_tramp_exit_\@:
|
| 	ldr	lr, [sp, #S_LR]
| 	add	sp, sp, #PT_REGS_SIZE		// restore sp
|
| alternative_if ARM64_WORKAROUND_SPECULATIVE_UNPRIV_LOAD
| 	tlbi	vale1, xzr
| 	dsb	nsh
| alternative_else_nop_endif
| 	eret

The new structure means that the workaround is only applied when KPTI is
not in use; this is fine as noted in the documented implications of the
erratum:

| Pagetable isolation between EL0 and higher level ELs prevents the
| issue from occurring.

... and as per the workaround description quoted above, the workaround
is only necessary "If pagetable isolation is disabled".

<content type='text'>
Implement the workaround for ARM Cortex-A520 erratum 2966298. On an
affected Cortex-A520 core, a speculatively executed unprivileged load
might leak data from a privileged load via a cache side channel. The
issue only exists for loads within a translation regime with the same
translation (e.g. same ASID and VMID). Therefore, the issue only affects
the return to EL0.

The workaround is to execute a TLBI before returning to EL0 after all
loads of privileged data. A non-shareable TLBI to any address is
sufficient.

The workaround isn't necessary if page table isolation (KPTI) is
enabled, but for simplicity it will be. Page table isolation should
normally be disabled for Cortex-A520 as it supports the CSV3 feature
and the E0PD feature (used when KASLR is enabled).

Interrupts are blocked in SDEI context, per the SDEI spec: "The client
interrupts cannot preempt the event handler." If we crashed in the SDEI
handler-running context (as with ACPI's AGDI) then we need to clean up the
SDEI state before proceeding to the crash kernel so that the crash kernel
can have working interrupts.

Track the active SDEI handler per-cpu so that we can COMPLETE_AND_RESUME
the handler, discarding the interrupted context.

<title>arm64: entry: Simplify tramp_alias macro and tramp_exit routine</title>

<content type='text'>
The tramp_alias macro constructs the virtual alias of a symbol in the
trampoline text mapping, based on its kernel text address, and does so
in a way that is more convoluted than necessary. So let's simplify that.

Also, now that the address of the vector table is kept in a per-CPU
variable, there is no need to defer the load and the assignment of
VBAR_EL1 to tramp_exit(). This means we can use a PC-relative reference
to the per-CPU variable instead of storing its absolute address in a
global variable in the trampoline rodata.

And given that tramp_alias no longer needs a temp register, this means
we can restore X30 earlier as well, and only leave X29 for tramp_exit()
to restore.

While at it, give some related symbols static linkage, considering that
they are only referenced from the object file that defines them.

<title>arm64: entry: Preserve/restore X29 even for compat tasks</title>

<id>0936243cabf0caf46f1a42606325ab93cfa05a6a</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, the KPTI trampoline code for returning to user space takes
care to only preserve X29 into FAR_EL1 for native tasks, as compat tasks
don't have access to this register anyway, and so preserving it is not
necessary. It also means it does not need to be restored, and so we have
two code paths for returning back to user space: the native one that
restores X29 from FAR_EL1, and the compat one that leaves X29 clobbered,
containing the value of TTBR1_EL1, which carries a physical address
pointing somewhere into the kernel image.

This is needlessly complex, and given that FAR_EL1 becomes UNKNOWN after
an exception return anway, the only benefit of avoiding the preserve and
restore is that we can skip the system register write and read.

So let's simplify this, and collapse the two code paths into one that
always preserves X29 into FAR_EL1, and always restores it again after
the TTBR switch.

containing the value of TTBR1_EL1, which carries a physical address
pointing somewhere into the kernel image.

This is needlessly complex, and given that FAR_EL1 becomes UNKNOWN after
an exception return anway, the only benefit of avoiding the preserve and
restore is that we can skip the system register write and read.

So let's simplify this, and collapse the two code paths into one that
always preserves X29 into FAR_EL1, and always restores it again after
the TTBR switch.

When Priority Mask Hint Enable (PMHE) == 0b1, the GIC may use the PMR
value to determine whether to signal an IRQ to a PE, and consequently
after a change to the PMR value, a DSB SY may be required to ensure that
interrupts are signalled to a CPU in finite time. When PMHE == 0b0,
interrupts are always signalled to the relevant PE, and all masking
occurs locally, without requiring a DSB SY.

Since commit:

  f226650494c6aa87 ("arm64: Relax ICC_PMR_EL1 accesses when ICC_CTLR_EL1.PMHE is clear")

... we handle this dynamically: in most cases a static key is used to
determine whether to issue a DSB SY, but the entry code must read from
ICC_CTLR_EL1 as static keys aren't accessible from plain assembly.

It would be much nicer to use an alternative instruction sequence for
the DSB, as this would avoid the need to read from ICC_CTLR_EL1 in the
entry code, and for most other code this will result in simpler code
generation with fewer instructions and fewer branches.

This patch adds a new ARM64_HAS_GIC_PRIO_RELAXED_SYNC cpucap which is
only set when ICC_CTLR_EL1.PMHE == 0b0 (and GIC priority masking is in
use). This allows us to replace the existing users of the
`gic_pmr_sync` static key with alternative sequences which default to a
DSB SY and are relaxed to a NOP when PMHE is not in use.

The entry assembly management of the PMR is slightly restructured to use
a branch (rather than multiple NOPs) when priority masking is not in
use. This is more in keeping with other alternatives in the entry
assembly, and permits the use of a separate alternatives for the
PMHE-dependent DSB SY (and removal of the conditional branch this
currently requires). For consistency I've adjusted both the save and
restore paths.

According to bloat-o-meter, when building defconfig +
CONFIG_ARM64_PSEUDO_NMI=y this shrinks the kernel text by ~4KiB:

| add/remove: 4/2 grow/shrink: 42/310 up/down: 332/-5032 (-4700)

The resulting vmlinux is ~66KiB smaller, though the resulting Image size
is unchanged due to padding and alignment:

| [mark@lakrids:~/src/linux]% ls -al vmlinux-*
| -rwxr-xr-x 1 mark mark 137508344 Jan 17 14:11 vmlinux-after

| -rw-r--r-- 1 mark mark 38777344 Jan 17 13:49 Image-before

Prior to this patch we did not verify the state of ICC_CTLR_EL1.PMHE on
secondary CPUs. As of this patch this is verified by the cpufeature code
when using GIC priority masking (i.e. when using pseudo-NMIs).

Note that since commit:

  7e3a57fa6ca831fa ("arm64: Document ICC_CTLR_EL3.PMHE setting requirements")

... Documentation/arm64/booting.rst specifies:

|      - ICC_CTLR_EL3.PMHE (bit 6) must be set to the same value across
|        all CPUs the kernel is executing on, and must stay constant
|        for the lifetime of the kernel.

... so that should not adversely affect any compliant systems, and as
we'll only check for the absense of PMHE when using pseudo-NMIs, this
will only fire when such mismatch will adversely affect the system.

... so that should not adversely affect any compliant systems, and as
we'll only check for the absense of PMHE when using pseudo-NMIs, this
will only fire when such mismatch will adversely affect the system.

Subsequent patches will add more GIC-related cpucaps. When we do so, it
would be nice to give them a consistent HAS_GIC_* prefix.

In preparation for doing so, this patch renames the existing
ARM64_HAS_IRQ_PRIO_MASKING cap to ARM64_HAS_GIC_PRIO_MASKING.

The cpucaps file was hand-modified; all other changes were scripted
with:

  find . -type f -name '*.[chS]' -print0 | \
    xargs -0 sed -i 's/ARM64_HAS_IRQ_PRIO_MASKING/ARM64_HAS_GIC_PRIO_MASKING/'

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