<content type='text'>
A recent update to the ARM SMCCC ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 specification
allows firmware to return a non zero, positive value to describe
that although the mitigation is implemented at the higher exception
level, the CPU on which the call is made is not affected.

Let's relax the check on the return value from ARCH_WORKAROUND_1
so that we only error out if the returned value is negative.

<title>arm64: fix unwind_frame() for filtered out fn for function graph tracing</title>

<id>9f416319f40cd857d2bb517630e5855a905ef3fb</id>
<content type='text'>
do_task_stat() calls get_wchan(), which further does unwind_frame().
unwind_frame() restores frame-&gt;pc to original value in case function
graph tracer has modified a return address (LR) in a stack frame to hook
a function return. However, if function graph tracer has hit a filtered
function, then we can't unwind it as ftrace_push_return_trace() has
biased the index(frame-&gt;graph) with a 'huge negative'
offset(-FTRACE_NOTRACE_DEPTH).

Moreover, arm64 stack walker defines index(frame-&gt;graph) as unsigned
int, which can not compare a -ve number.

Similar problem we can have with calling of walk_stackframe() from
save_stack_trace_tsk() or dump_backtrace().

This patch fixes unwind_frame() to test the index for -ve value and
restore index accordingly before we can restore frame-&gt;pc.

Reproducer:

cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/
echo schedule &gt; set_graph_notrace
echo 1 &gt; options/display-graph
echo wakeup &gt; current_tracer
ps -ef | grep -i agent

Above commands result in:

The ID_AA64DFR0_EL1.PMUVer field doesn't follow the usual ID registers
scheme. While value 0xf indicates a non-architected PMU is implemented,
values 0x1 to 0xe indicate an increasingly featureful architected PMU,
as if the field were unsigned.

For more details, see ARM DDI 0487C.a, D10.1.4, "Alternative ID scheme
used for the Performance Monitors Extension version".

Currently, we treat the field as signed, and erroneously bail out for
values 0x8 to 0xe. Let's correct that.

__show_regs pretty prints PC and LR by attempting to map them to kernel
function names to improve the utility of crash reports. Unfortunately,
this mapping is applied even when the pt_regs corresponds to user mode,
resulting in a KASLR oracle.

Avoid this issue by only looking up the function symbols when the register
state indicates that we're actually running at EL1.

<content type='text'>
Stop printing a (ratelimited) kernel message for each instance of an
unimplemented syscall being called. Userland making an unimplemented
syscall is not necessarily misbehaviour and to be expected with a
current userland running on an older kernel. Also, the current message
looks scary to users but does not actually indicate a real problem nor
help them narrow down the cause. Just rely on sys_ni_syscall() to return
-ENOSYS.

Stop printing a (ratelimited) kernel message for each instance of an
unimplemented syscall being called. Userland making an unimplemented
syscall is not necessarily misbehaviour and to be expected with a
current userland running on an older kernel. Also, the current message
looks scary to users but does not actually indicate a real problem nor
help them narrow down the cause. Just rely on sys_ni_syscall() to return
-ENOSYS.

aarch64 unhandled signal kernel messages are very verbose, suggesting
them to be more of a debugging aid:

<title>arm64: cpufeature: Fix CTR_EL0 field definitions</title>

Our field definitions for CTR_EL0 suffer from a number of problems:

  - The IDC and DIC fields are missing, which causes us to enable CTR
    trapping on CPUs with either of these returning non-zero values.

  - The ERG is FTR_LOWER_SAFE, whereas it should be treated like CWG as
    FTR_HIGHER_SAFE so that applications can use it to avoid false sharing.

  - [nit] A RES1 field is described as "RAO"

This patch updates the CTR_EL0 field definitions to fix these issues.

In converting __range_ok() into a static inline, I inadvertently made
it more type-safe, but without considering the ordering of the relevant
conversions. This leads to quite a lot of Sparse noise about the fact
that we use __chk_user_ptr() after addr has already been converted from
a user pointer to an unsigned long.

Rather than just adding another cast for the sake of shutting Sparse up,
it seems reasonable to rework the types to make logical sense (although
the resulting codegen for __range_ok() remains identical). The only
callers this affects directly are our compat traps where the inferred
"user-pointer-ness" of a register value now warrants explicit casting.
