<title>arm64: lto: Strengthen READ_ONCE() to acquire when CONFIG_LTO=y</title>

<content type='text'>
When building with LTO, there is an increased risk of the compiler
converting an address dependency headed by a READ_ONCE() invocation
into a control dependency and consequently allowing for harmful
reordering by the CPU.

Ensure that such transformations are harmless by overriding the generic
READ_ONCE() definition with one that provides acquire semantics when
building with LTO.

<title>arm64: vdso32: Allow ld.lld to properly link the VDSO</title>

<id>0fa97e9403c767a4af63cfb5a3badbbe69426085</id>
<content type='text'>
As it stands now, the vdso32 Makefile hardcodes the linker to ld.bfd
using -fuse-ld=bfd with $(CC). This was taken from the arm vDSO
Makefile, as the comment notes, done in commit d2b30cd4b722 ("ARM:
8384/1: VDSO: force use of BFD linker").

Commit fe00e50b2db8 ("ARM: 8858/1: vdso: use $(LD) instead of $(CC) to
link VDSO") changed that Makefile to use $(LD) directly instead of
through $(CC), which matches how the rest of the kernel operates. Since
then, LD=ld.lld means that the arm vDSO will be linked with ld.lld,
which has shown no problems so far.

Allow ld.lld to link this vDSO as we do the regular arm vDSO. To do
this, we need to do a few things:

* Add a LD_COMPAT variable, which defaults to $(CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT)ld
  with gcc and $(LD) if LLVM is 1, which will be ld.lld, or
  $(CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT)ld if not, which matches the logic of the main
  Makefile. It is overrideable for further customization and avoiding
  breakage.

* Eliminate cc32-ldoption, which matches commit 055efab3120b ("kbuild:
  drop support for cc-ldoption").

With those, we can use $(LD_COMPAT) in cmd_ldvdso and change the flags
from compiler linker flags to linker flags directly. We eliminate
-mfloat-abi=soft because it is not handled by the linker.

Pull arm64 and cross-arch updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "Here's a slightly wider-spread set of updates for 5.9.

  Going outside the usual arch/arm64/ area is the removal of
  read_barrier_depends() series from Will and the MSI/IOMMU ID
  translation series from Lorenzo.

  The notable arm64 updates include ARMv8.4 TLBI range operations and
  translation level hint, time namespace support, and perf.

  Summary:

   - Removal of the tremendously unpopular read_barrier_depends()
     barrier, which is a NOP on all architectures apart from Alpha, in
     favour of allowing architectures to override READ_ONCE() and do
     whatever dance they need to do to ensure address dependencies
     provide LOAD -&gt; LOAD/STORE ordering.

     This work also offers a potential solution if compilers are shown
     to convert LOAD -&gt; LOAD address dependencies into control
     dependencies (e.g. under LTO), as weakly ordered architectures will
     effectively be able to upgrade READ_ONCE() to smp_load_acquire().
     The latter case is not used yet, but will be discussed further at
     LPC.

   - Make the MSI/IOMMU input/output ID translation PCI agnostic,
     augment the MSI/IOMMU ACPI/OF ID mapping APIs to accept an input ID
     bus-specific parameter and apply the resulting changes to the
     device ID space provided by the Freescale FSL bus.

   - arm64 support for TLBI range operations and translation table level
     hints (part of the ARMv8.4 architecture version).

   - Time namespace support for arm64.

   - Export the virtual and physical address sizes in vmcoreinfo for
     makedumpfile and crash utilities.

   - CPU feature handling cleanups and checks for programmer errors
     (overlapping bit-fields).

   - ACPI updates for arm64: disallow AML accesses to EFI code regions
     and kernel memory.

   - perf updates for arm64.

   - Miscellaneous fixes and cleanups, most notably PLT counting
     optimisation for module loading, recordmcount fix to ignore
     relocations other than R_AARCH64_CALL26, CMA areas reserved for
     gigantic pages on 16K and 64K configurations.

   - Trivial typos, duplicate words"

Allocate the time namespace page among VVAR pages.  Provide
__arch_get_timens_vdso_data() helper for VDSO code to get the
code-relative position of VVARs on that special page.

If a task belongs to a time namespace then the VVAR page which contains
the system wide VDSO data is replaced with a namespace specific page
which has the same layout as the VVAR page. That page has vdso_data-&gt;seq
set to 1 to enforce the slow path and vdso_data-&gt;clock_mode set to
VCLOCK_TIMENS to enforce the time namespace handling path.

The extra check in the case that vdso_data-&gt;seq is odd, e.g. a concurrent
update of the VDSO data is in progress, is not really affecting regular
tasks which are not part of a time namespace as the task is spin waiting
for the update to finish and vdso_data-&gt;seq to become even again.

If a time namespace task hits that code path, it invokes the corresponding
time getter function which retrieves the real VVAR page, reads host time
and then adds the offset for the requested clock which is stored in the
special VVAR page.

The time-namespace page isn't allocated on !CONFIG_TIME_NAMESPACE, but
vma is the same size, which simplifies criu/vdso migration between
different kernel configs.

Allocate the time namespace page among VVAR pages.  Provide
__arch_get_timens_vdso_data() helper for VDSO code to get the
code-relative position of VVARs on that special page.

If a task belongs to a time namespace then the VVAR page which contains
the system wide VDSO data is replaced with a namespace specific page
which has the same layout as the VVAR page. That page has vdso_data-&gt;seq
set to 1 to enforce the slow path and vdso_data-&gt;clock_mode set to
VCLOCK_TIMENS to enforce the time namespace handling path.

The extra check in the case that vdso_data-&gt;seq is odd, e.g. a concurrent
update of the VDSO data is in progress, is not really affecting regular
tasks which are not part of a time namespace as the task is spin waiting

<title>arm64: vdso32: Fix '--prefix=' value for newer versions of clang</title>

Newer versions of clang only look for $(COMPAT_GCC_TOOLCHAIN_DIR)as [1],
rather than $(COMPAT_GCC_TOOLCHAIN_DIR)$(CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT)as,
resulting in the following build error:

$ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- \
CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT=arm-linux-gnueabi- LLVM=1 O=out/aarch64 distclean \
defconfig arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/
...
/home/nathan/cbl/toolchains/llvm-binutils/bin/as: unrecognized option '-EL'
clang-12: error: assembler command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make[3]: *** [arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/Makefile:181: arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/note.o] Error 1
...

Adding the value of CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT (adding notdir to account for a
full path for CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT) fixes this issue, which matches the
solution done for the main Makefile [2].
