C1-Pro acknowledges DVMSync messages before completing the SME/CME
memory accesses. Work around this by issuing an IPI to the affected CPUs
if they are running in EL0 with SME enabled.

Note that we avoid the local DSB in the IPI handler as the kernel runs
with SCTLR_EL1.IESB=1. This is sufficient to complete SME memory
accesses at EL0 on taking an exception to EL1. On the return to user
path, no barrier is necessary either. See the comment in
sme_set_active() and the more detailed explanation in the link below.

To avoid a potential IPI flood from malicious applications (e.g.
madvise(MADV_PAGEOUT) in a tight loop), track where a process is active
via mm_cpumask() and only interrupt those CPUs.

When __switch_to() switches from a 'prev' task to a 'next' task, various
pieces of CPU state are expected to have specific values, such that
these do not need to be saved/restored. If any of these hold an
unexpected value when switching away from the prev task, they could lead
to surprising behaviour in the context of the next task, and it would be
difficult to determine where they were configured to their unexpected
value.

Add some checks for DAIF and PMR at task-switch time so that we can
detect such issues.

MPAM allows traffic in the SoC to be labeled by the OS, these labels are
used to apply policy in caches and bandwidth regulators, and to monitor
traffic in the SoC. The label is made up of a PARTID and PMG value. The x86
equivalent calls these CLOSID and RMID, but they don't map precisely.

MPAM has two CPU system registers that is used to hold the PARTID and PMG
values that traffic generated at each exception level will use. These can
be set per-task by the resctrl file system. (resctrl is the defacto
interface for controlling this stuff).

Add a helper to switch this.

struct task_struct's separate CLOSID and RMID fields are insufficient to
implement resctrl using MPAM, as resctrl can change the PARTID (CLOSID) and
PMG (sort of like the RMID) separately. On x86, the rmid is an independent
number, so a race that writes a mismatched closid and rmid into hardware is
benign. On arm64, the pmg bits extend the partid.
(i.e. partid-5 has a pmg-0 that is not the same as partid-6's pmg-0).  In
this case, mismatching the values will 'dirty' a pmg value that resctrl
believes is clean, and is not tracking with its 'limbo' code.

To avoid this, the partid and pmg are always read and written as a
pair. This requires a new u64 field. In struct task_struct there are two
u32, rmid and closid for the x86 case, but as we can't use them here do
something else. Add this new field, mpam_partid_pmg, to struct thread_info
to avoid adding more architecture specific code to struct task_struct.
Always use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() when accessing this field.

Resctrl allows a per-cpu 'default' value to be set, this overrides the
values when scheduling a task in the default control-group, which has
PARTID 0. The way 'code data prioritisation' gets emulated means the
register value for the default group needs to be a variable.

The current system register value is kept in a per-cpu variable to avoid
writing to the system register if the value isn't going to change.  Writes
to this register may reset the hardware state for regulating bandwidth.

Finally, there is no reason to context switch these registers unless there
is a driver changing the values in struct task_struct. Hide the whole thing
behind a static key. This also allows the driver to disable MPAM in
response to errors reported by hardware. Move the existing static key to
belong to the arch code, as in the future the MPAM driver may become a
loadable module.

All this should depend on whether there is an MPAM driver, hide it behind
CONFIG_ARM64_MPAM.

MPAM allows traffic in the SoC to be labeled by the OS, these labels are
used to apply policy in caches and bandwidth regulators, and to monitor
traffic in the SoC. The label is made up of a PARTID and PMG value. The x86
equivalent calls these CLOSID and RMID, but they don't map precisely.

MPAM has two CPU system registers that is used to hold the PARTID and PMG
values that traffic generated at each exception level will use. These can
be set per-task by the resctrl file system. (resctrl is the defacto

<title>arm64/gcs: Flush the GCS locking state on exec</title>

When we exec a new task we forget to flush the set of locked GCS mode bits.
Since we do flush the rest of the state this means that if GCS is locked
the new task will be unable to enable GCS, it will be locked as being
disabled. Add the expected flush.

<title>arch: copy_thread: pass clone_flags as u64</title>

<id>bbc46b23af5bb934cd1cf066ef4342cee457a24e</id>
<content type='text'>
With the introduction of clone3 in commit 7f192e3cd316 ("fork: add
clone3") the effective bit width of clone_flags on all architectures was
increased from 32-bit to 64-bit, with a new type of u64 for the flags.
However, for most consumers of clone_flags the interface was not
changed from the previous type of unsigned long.

While this works fine as long as none of the new 64-bit flag bits
(CLONE_CLEAR_SIGHAND and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP) are evaluated, this is still
undesirable in terms of the principle of least surprise.

Thus, this commit fixes all relevant interfaces of the copy_thread
function that is called from copy_process to consistently pass
clone_flags as u64, so that no truncation to 32-bit integers occurs on
32-bit architectures.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "A quick summary: perf support for Branch Record Buffer Extensions
  (BRBE), typical PMU hardware updates, small additions to MTE for
  store-only tag checking and exposing non-address bits to signal
  handlers, HAVE_LIVEPATCH enabled on arm64, VMAP_STACK forced on.

  There is also a TLBI optimisation on hardware that does not require
  break-before-make when changing the user PTEs between contiguous and
  non-contiguous.

  More details:

  Perf and PMU updates:

   - Add support for new (v3) Hisilicon SLLC and DDRC PMUs

   - Add support for Arm-NI PMU integrations that share interrupts
     between clock domains within a given instance

   - Allow SPE to be configured with a lower sample period than the
     minimum recommendation advertised by PMSIDR_EL1.Interval

   - Add suppport for Arm's "Branch Record Buffer Extension" (BRBE)

   - Adjust the perf watchdog period according to cpu frequency changes

   - Minor driver fixes and cleanups

  Hardware features:

   - Support for MTE store-only checking (FEAT_MTE_STORE_ONLY)

   - Support for reporting the non-address bits during a synchronous MTE
     tag check fault (FEAT_MTE_TAGGED_FAR)

   - Optimise the TLBI when folding/unfolding contiguous PTEs on
     hardware with FEAT_BBM (break-before-make) level 2 and no TLB
     conflict aborts

  Software features:

   - Enable HAVE_LIVEPATCH after implementing arch_stack_walk_reliable()
     and using the text-poke API for late module relocations

   - Force VMAP_STACK always on and change arm64_efi_rt_init() to use
     arch_alloc_vmap_stack() in order to avoid KASAN false positives

  ACPI:

   - Improve SPCR handling and messaging on systems lacking an SPCR
     table

  Debug:

   - Simplify the debug exception entry path

   - Drop redundant DBG_MDSCR_* macros

  Kselftests:

   - Cleanups and improvements for SME, SVE and FPSIMD tests

  Miscellaneous:

   - Optimise loop to reduce redundant operations in contpte_ptep_get()

   - Remove ISB when resetting POR_EL0 during signal handling

   - Mark the kernel as tainted on SEA and SError panic

   - Remove redundant gcs_free() call"
