The setup_profiling_timer() is mostly un-implemented by many
architectures.  In many places it isn't guarded by CONFIG_PROFILE which is
needed for it to be used.  Make it a weak symbol in kernel/profile.c and
remove the 'return -EINVAL' implementations from the kenrel.

There are a couple of architectures which do return 0 from the
setup_profiling_timer() function but they don't seem to do anything else
with it.  To keep the /proc compatibility for now, leave these for a
future update or removal.

On ARM, this fixes the following sparse warning:
arch/arm/kernel/smp.c:793:5: warning: symbol 'setup_profiling_timer' was not declared. Should it be static?

<title>cpufreq: CPPC: Add per_cpu efficiency_class</title>

<id>d3c3db41df7e1bdefc9c68073070b62ce3b260bd</id>
<content type='text'>
In ACPI, describing power efficiency of CPUs can be done through the
following arm specific field:
ACPI 6.4, s5.2.12.14 'GIC CPU Interface (GICC) Structure',
'Processor Power Efficiency Class field':
  Describes the relative power efficiency of the associated pro-
  cessor. Lower efficiency class numbers are more efficient than
  higher ones (e.g. efficiency class 0 should be treated as more
  efficient than efficiency class 1). However, absolute values
  of this number have no meaning: 2 isn’t necessarily half as
  efficient as 1.

The efficiency_class field is stored in the GicC structure of the
ACPI MADT table and it's currently supported in Linux for arm64 only.
Thus, this new functionality is introduced for arm64 only.

To allow the cppc_cpufreq driver to know and preprocess the
efficiency_class values of all the CPUs, add a per_cpu efficiency_class
variable to store them.

At least 2 different efficiency classes must be present,
otherwise there is no use in creating an Energy Model.

The efficiency_class values are squeezed in [0:#efficiency_class-1]
while conserving the order. For instance, efficiency classes of:
  [111, 212, 250]
will be mapped to:
  [0 (was 111), 1 (was 212), 2 (was 250)].

Each policy being independently registered in the driver, populating
the per_cpu efficiency_class is done only once at the driver
initialization. This prevents from having each policy re-searching the
efficiency_class values of other CPUs. The EM will be registered in a
following patch.

The patch also exports acpi_cpu_get_madt_gicc() to fetch the GicC
structure of the ACPI MADT table for each CPU.

<title>arch/arm64: Fix topology initialization for core scheduling</title>
<updated>2022-04-04T09:24:22+00:00</updated>

<id>5524cbb1bfcdff0cad0aaa9f94e6092002a07259</id>
<content type='text'>
Arm64 systems rely on store_cpu_topology() to call update_siblings_masks()
to transfer the toplogy to the various cpu masks. This needs to be done
before the call to notify_cpu_starting() which tells the scheduler about
each cpu found, otherwise the core scheduling data structures are setup
in a way that does not match the actual topology.

With smt_mask not setup correctly we bail on `cpumask_weight(smt_mask) == 1`
for !leaders in:

 notify_cpu_starting()
   cpuhp_invoke_callback_range()
     sched_cpu_starting()
       sched_core_cpu_starting()

which leads to rq-&gt;core not being correctly set for !leader-rq's.

Without this change stress-ng (which enables core scheduling in its prctl
tests in newer versions -- i.e. with PR_SCHED_CORE support) causes a warning
and then a crash (trimmed for legibility):

Replace the open coded parsing of CPU nodes' 'reg' property with
of_get_cpu_hwid().

This change drops an error message for missing 'reg' property, but that
should not be necessary as the DT tools will ensure 'reg' is present.

When pKVM is enabled, the hypervisor code at EL2 and its data structures
are inaccessible to the host kernel and cannot be torn down or replaced
as this would defeat the integrity properies which pKVM aims to provide.
Furthermore, the ABI between the host and EL2 is flexible and private to
whatever the current implementation of KVM requires and so booting a new
kernel with an old EL2 component is very likely to end in disaster.

In preparation for uninstalling the hyp stub calls which are relied upon
to reset EL2, disable kexec and hibernation in the host when protected
KVM is enabled.

 "There's a reasonable amount here and the juicy details are all below.

  It's worth noting that the MTE/KASAN changes strayed outside of our
  usual directories due to core mm changes and some associated changes
  to some other architectures; Andrew asked for us to carry these [1]
  rather that take them via the -mm tree.

  Summary:

   - Optimise SVE switching for CPUs with 128-bit implementations.

   - Fix output format from SVE selftest.

   - Add support for versions v1.2 and 1.3 of the SMC calling
     convention.

   - Allow Pointer Authentication to be configured independently for
     kernel and userspace.

   - PMU driver cleanups for managing IRQ affinity and exposing event
     attributes via sysfs.

   - KASAN optimisations for both hardware tagging (MTE) and out-of-line
     software tagging implementations.

   - Relax frame record alignment requirements to facilitate 8-byte
     alignment with KASAN and Clang.

   - Cleanup of page-table definitions and removal of unused memory
     types.

   - Reduction of ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN back to 64 bytes.

   - Refactoring of our instruction decoding routines and addition of
     some missing encodings.

   - Move entry code moved into C and hardened against harmful compiler
     instrumentation.

   - Update booting requirements for the FEAT_HCX feature, added to v8.7
     of the architecture.

   - Fix resume from idle when pNMI is being used.

   - Additional CPU sanity checks for MTE and preparatory changes for
     systems where not all of the CPUs support 32-bit EL0.

   - Update our kernel string routines to the latest Cortex Strings
     implementation.

   - Big cleanup of our cache maintenance routines, which were
     confusingly named and inconsistent in their implementations.

   - Tweak linker flags so that GDB can understand vmlinux when using
     RELR relocations.

   - Boot path cleanups to enable early initialisation of per-cpu
     operations needed by KCSAN.

   - Non-critical fixes and miscellaneous cleanup"

<title>arm64: smp: initialize cpu offset earlier</title>

Now that we have a consistent place to initialize CPU context registers
early in the boot path, let's also initialize the per-cpu offset here.
This makes the primary and secondary boot paths more consistent, and
allows for the use of per-cpu operations earlier, which will be
necessary for instrumentation with KCSAN.

Note that smp_prepare_boot_cpu() still needs to re-initialize CPU0's
offset as immediately prior to this the per-cpu areas may be
reallocated, and hence the boot-time offset may be stale. A comment is
added to make this clear.
