Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "These are the arm64 updates for 6.19.

  The biggest part is the Arm MPAM driver under drivers/resctrl/.
  There's a patch touching mm/ to handle spurious faults for huge pmd
  (similar to the pte version). The corresponding arm64 part allows us
  to avoid the TLB maintenance if a (huge) page is reused after a write
  fault. There's EFI refactoring to allow runtime services with
  preemption enabled and the rest is the usual perf/PMU updates and
  several cleanups/typos.

  Summary:

  Core features:

   - Basic Arm MPAM (Memory system resource Partitioning And Monitoring)
     driver under drivers/resctrl/ which makes use of the fs/rectrl/ API

  Perf and PMU:

   - Avoid cycle counter on multi-threaded CPUs

   - Extend CSPMU device probing and add additional filtering support
     for NVIDIA implementations

   - Add support for the PMUs on the NoC S3 interconnect

   - Add additional compatible strings for new Cortex and C1 CPUs

   - Add support for data source filtering to the SPE driver

   - Add support for i.MX8QM and "DB" PMU in the imx PMU driver

  Memory managemennt:

   - Avoid broadcast TLBI if page reused in write fault

   - Elide TLB invalidation if the old PTE was not valid

   - Drop redundant cpu_set_*_tcr_t0sz() macros

   - Propagate pgtable_alloc() errors outside of __create_pgd_mapping()

   - Propagate return value from __change_memory_common()

  ACPI and EFI:

   - Call EFI runtime services without disabling preemption

   - Remove unused ACPI function

  Miscellaneous:

   - ptrace support to disable streaming on SME-only systems

   - Improve sysreg generation to include a 'Prefix' descriptor

   - Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__

   - Align register dumps in the kselftest zt-test

   - Remove some no longer used macros/functions

   - Various spelling corrections"

arm64/sysreg: Replace TCR_EL1 field macros

2025-11-13T15:58:30+00:00

This just replaces all used TCR_EL1 field macros with tools sysreg variant
based fields and subsequently drops them from the header (pgtable-hwdef.h),
although while retaining the ones used for KVM (represented via the sysreg
tools format).

arm64: Fail module loading if dynamic SCS patching fails

2025-11-07T15:00:09+00:00

Disallow a module to load if SCS dynamic patching fails for its code. For
module loading, instead of running a dry-run to check for patching errors,
try to run patching in the first run and propagate any errors so module
loading will fail.

arm64: map [_text, _stext) virtual address range non-executable+read-only

2025-09-22T10:58:17+00:00

Since the referenced fixes commit, the kernel's .text section is only
mapped starting from _stext; the region [_text, _stext) is omitted. As a
result, other vmalloc/vmap allocations may use the virtual addresses
nominally in the range [_text, _stext). This address reuse confuses
multiple things:

1. crash_prepare_elf64_headers() sets up a segment in /proc/vmcore
   mapping the entire range [_text, _end) to
   [__pa_symbol(_text), __pa_symbol(_end)). Reading an address in
   [_text, _stext) from /proc/vmcore therefore gives the incorrect
   result.
2. Tools doing symbolization (either by reading /proc/kallsyms or based
   on the vmlinux ELF file) will incorrectly identify vmalloc/vmap
   allocations in [_text, _stext) as kernel symbols.

In practice, both of these issues affect the drgn debugger.
Specifically, there were cases where the vmap IRQ stacks for some CPUs
were allocated in [_text, _stext). As a result, drgn could not get the
stack trace for a crash in an IRQ handler because the core dump
contained invalid data for the IRQ stack address. The stack addresses
were also symbolized as being in the _text symbol.

Fix this by bringing back the mapping of [_text, _stext), but now make
it non-executable and read-only. This prevents other allocations from
using it while still achieving the original goal of not mapping
unpredictable data as executable. Other than the changed protection,
this is effectively a revert of the fixes commit.

arm64: mm: Represent physical memory with phys_addr_t and resource_size_t

2025-09-16T19:39:49+00:00

This is a type-correctness cleanup to MMU/boot code that replaces
several instances of void * and u64 with phys_addr_t (to represent
addresses) and resource_size_t (to represent sizes) to emphasize that
the code in question concerns physical memory specifically.

The rationale for this change is to improve clarity and readability in
a few modules that handle both types (physical and virtual) of address
and differentiation is essential.

I have left u64 in cases where the address may be either physical or
virtual, where the address is exclusively virtual but used in heavy
pointer arithmetic, and in cases I may have overlooked. I do not
necessarily consider u64 the ideal type in those situations, but it
avoids breaking existing semantics in this cleanup.

This patch provably has no effect at runtime: I have verified that
.text of vmlinux is identical after this change.

arm64: mm: Make map_fdt() return mapped pointer

2025-09-16T19:39:49+00:00

Currently map_fdt() accepts a physical address and relies on the caller
to keep using the same value after mapping, since the implementation
happens to install an identity mapping. This obscures the fact that the
usable pointer is defined by the mapping, not by the input value. Since
the mapping determines pointer validity, it is more natural to produce
the pointer at mapping time.

Change map_fdt() to return a void * pointing to the mapped FDT. This
clarifies the data flow, removes the implicit identity assumption, and
prepares for making map_fdt() accept a phys_addr_t in a follow-up
change.

arm64: mm: Cast start/end markers to char *, not u64

2025-09-16T19:39:49+00:00

There are a few memset() calls in map_kernel.c that cast marker-symbol
addresses to u64 in order to perform pointer subtraction (range size
computation).

Cast them with (char *) instead, aligning with idiomatic C pointer
arithmetic.

This patch provably has no effect at runtime: I have verified that
.text of vmlinux is identical after this change.

arm64/mm: define ptdesc_t

2025-05-12T00:48:19+00:00

Define ptdesc_t type which describes the basic page table descriptor
layout on arm64 platform.  Subsequently all level specific pxxval_t
descriptors are derived from ptdesc_t thus establishing a common original
format, which can also be appropriate for page table entries, masks and
protection values etc which are used at all page table levels.

arm64: Rework checks for broken Cavium HW in the PI code

2025-04-18T20:51:07+00:00

Calling into the MIDR checking framework from the PI code has recently
become much harder, due to the new fancy "multi-MIDR" support that
relies on tables being populated at boot time, but not that early that
they are available to the PI code. There are additional issues with
this framework, as the code really isn't position independend *at all*.

This leads to some ugly breakages, as reported by Ada.

It so appears that the only reason for the PI code to call into the
MIDR checking code is to cope with The Most Broken ARM64 System Ever,
aka Cavium ThunderX, which cannot deal with nG attributes that result
of the combination of KASLR and KPTI as a consequence of Erratum 27456.

Duplicate the check for the erratum in the PI code, removing the
dependency on the bulk of the MIDR checking framework. This allows
dropping that same check from kaslr_requires_kpti(), as the KPTI code
already relies on the ARM64_WORKAROUND_CAVIUM_27456 cap.

arm64/mm: Override PARange for !LPA2 and use it consistently

2024-12-19T17:23:52+00:00

When FEAT_LPA{,2} are not implemented, the ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1.PARange and
TCR.IPS values corresponding with 52-bit physical addressing are
reserved.

Setting the TCR.IPS field to 0b110 (52-bit physical addressing) has side
effects, such as how the TTBRn_ELx.BADDR fields are interpreted, and so
it is important that disabling FEAT_LPA2 (by overriding the
ID_AA64MMFR0.TGran fields) also presents a PARange field consistent with
that.

So limit the field to 48 bits unless LPA2 is enabled, and update
existing references to use the override consistently.
