<content type='text'>
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.

<title>arm64/mm: Define PTDESC_ORDER</title>

Address bytes shifted with a single 64 bit page table entry (any page table
level) has been always hard coded as 3 (aka 2^3 = 8). Although intuitive it
is not very readable or easy to reason about. Besides it is going to change
with D128, where each 128 bit page table entry will shift address bytes by
4 (aka 2^4 = 16) instead.

Let's just formalise this address bytes shift value into a new macro called
PTDESC_ORDER establishing a logical abstraction, thus improving readability
as well. While here re-organize EARLY_LEVEL macro along with its dependents
for better clarity. This does not cause any functional change. Also replace
all (PAGE_SHIFT - PTDESC_ORDER) instances with PTDESC_TABLE_SHIFT.

<title>arm64/kernel: Always use level 2 or higher for early mappings</title>

<id>bf25266f83821697dc5cc3571ff5e079840db027</id>
<content type='text'>
The page table population code in map_range() uses a recursive algorithm
to create the early mappings of the kernel, the DTB and the ID mapped
text and data pages, and this fails to take into account that the way
these page tables may be constructed is not precisely the same at each
level. In particular, block mappings are not permitted at each level,
and the code as it exists today might inadvertently create such a
forbidden block mapping if it were used to map a region of the
appropriate size and alignment.

This never happens in practice, given the limited size of the assets
being mapped by the early boot code. Nonetheless, it would be better if
this code would behave correctly in all circumstances.

So only permit block mappings at level 2, and page mappings at level 3,
for any page size, and use table mappings exclusively at all other
levels. This change should have no impact in practice, but it makes the
code more robust.

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

<id>62cffa496aac0c2c4eeca00d080058affd7a0172</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

pgprot_t has been defined as an encapsulated structure with pteval_t as its
element. Hence it is prudent to use pteval_t as the type instead of via the
size based u64. Besides pteval_t type might be different size later on with
FEAT_D128.

In some cases, the compiler may decide to emit DWARF FDE frames with
64-bit signed fields for the code offset and range fields. This may
happen when using the large code model, for instance, which permits
an executable to be spread out over more than 4 GiB of address space.

Whether this is the case can be inferred from the augmentation data in
the CIE frame, so decode this data before processing the FDE frames.

<id>ccf54058f5328e6da5ecc61c961bf68bbb7d865b</id>
<content type='text'>
The dynamic SCS patching code pretends to parse the DWARF augmentation
data in the CIE (header) frame, and handle accordingly when processing
the individual FDE frames based on this CIE frame. However, the boolean
variable is defined inside the loop, and so the parsed value is ignored.

The same applies to the code alignment field, which is also read from
the header but then discarded.

This was never spotted before because Clang is the only compiler that
supports dynamic SCS patching (which is essentially an Android feature),
and the unwind tables it produces are highly uniform, and match the
de facto defaults.

So instead of testing for the 'z' flag in the augmentation data field,
require a fixed augmentation data string of 'zR', and simplify the rest
of the code accordingly.

Also introduce some error codes to specify why the patching failed, and
log it to the kernel console on failure when this happens when loading a
module. (Doing so for vmlinux is infeasible, as the patching is done
extremely early in the boot.)

<title>arm64: Add command-line override for ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1.ECV</title>

It appears that relatively popular hardware out there implements
the CNTPOFF_EL2 variant of FEAT_ECV, advertises it via ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1,
but cannot be bothered to set SCR_EL3.ECVEn to 1.

You would probably think that "this is fine, EL3 will take the
trap on access to CNTPOFF_EL2 and flip the ECVEn bit", as that's
what a semi-decent firmware implementation would do.

But no. None of that. This particular implementation takes the trap,
considers its purpose in life, decides that it has none, and *RESETS*
the system.

Yes, x1e001de, I'm talking about you.

In order to allow this machine to be promoted slightly above the
level of a glorified door-stop, add a new "id_aa64mmfr0.ecv" override.
allowing the kernel to pretend this option was never there.
