As an optimisation, only pages mapped with PROT_MTE in user space have
the MTE tags zeroed. This is done lazily at the set_pte_at() time via
mte_sync_tags(). However, this function is missing a barrier and another
CPU may see the PTE updated before the zeroed tags are visible. Add an
smp_wmb() barrier if the mapping is Normal Tagged.

<title>arm64: kexec: load from kimage prior to clobbering</title>

<content type='text'>
In arm64_relocate_new_kernel() we load some fields out of the kimage
structure after relocation has occurred. As the kimage structure isn't
allocated to be relocation-safe, it may be clobbered during relocation,
and we may load junk values out of the structure.

Due to this, kexec may fail when the kimage allocation happens to fall
within a PA range that an object will be relocated to. This has been
observed to occur for regular kexec on a QEMU TCG 'virt' machine with
2GiB of RAM, where the PA range of the new kernel image overlaps the
kimage structure.

Avoid this by ensuring we load all values from the kimage structure
prior to relocation.

I've tested this atop v5.16 and v5.18-rc6.

During hotplug, the stolen time data structure is unmapped and memset.
There is a possibility of the timer IRQ being triggered before memset
and stolen time is getting updated as part of this timer IRQ handler. This
causes the below crash in timer handler -

Add KRYO4XX gold/big cores to the list of CPUs that need the
repeat TLBI workaround. Apply this to the affected
KRYO4XX cores (rcpe to rfpe).

The variant and revision bits are implementation defined and are
different from the their Cortex CPU counterparts on which they are
based on, i.e., (r0p0 to r3p0) is equivalent to (rcpe to rfpe).

The ID register table should have one entry per ID register but
currently has two entries for ID_AA64ISAR2_EL1. Only one entry has an
override, and get_arm64_ftr_reg() can end up choosing the other, causing
the override to be ignored. Fix this by removing the duplicate entry.

While here, also make the check in sort_ftr_regs() more strict so that
duplicate entries can't be added in the future.

There is currently no dependency for vdso*-wrap.S on vdso*.so, which means that
you can get a build that uses a stale vdso*-wrap.o.

In commit a5b8ca97fbf8, the file that includes the vdso.so was moved and renamed
from arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vdso.S to arch/arm64/kernel/vdso-wrap.S, when this
happened the Makefile was not updated to force the dependcy on vdso.so.

Unfortunately, the name/value choice for the MTE ELF segment type
(PT_ARM_MEMTAG_MTE) was pretty poor: LOPROC+1 is already in use by
PT_AARCH64_UNWIND, as defined in the AArch64 ELF ABI
(https://github.com/ARM-software/abi-aa/blob/main/aaelf64/aaelf64.rst).

Update the ELF segment type value to LOPROC+2 and also change the define
to PT_AARCH64_MEMTAG_MTE to match the AArch64 ELF ABI namespace. The
AArch64 ELF ABI document is updating accordingly (segment type not
previously mentioned in the document).

<title>arm64: patch_text: Fixup last cpu should be master</title>

These patch_text implementations are using stop_machine_cpuslocked
infrastructure with atomic cpu_count. The original idea: When the
master CPU patch_text, the others should wait for it. But current
implementation is using the first CPU as master, which couldn't
guarantee the remaining CPUs are waiting. This patch changes the
last CPU as the master to solve the potential risk.

<title>arm64: alternatives: mark patch_alternative() as `noinstr`</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=a2c0b0fbe01419f8f5d1c0b9c581631f34ffce8b'/>
<id>a2c0b0fbe01419f8f5d1c0b9c581631f34ffce8b</id>
<content type='text'>
The alternatives code must be `noinstr` such that it does not patch itself,
as the cache invalidation is only performed after all the alternatives have
been applied.

Mark patch_alternative() as `noinstr`. Mark branch_insn_requires_update()
and get_alt_insn() with `__always_inline` since they are both only called
through patch_alternative().

Booting a kernel in QEMU TCG with KCSAN=y and ARM64_USE_LSE_ATOMICS=y caused
a boot hang:
[    0.241121] CPU: All CPU(s) started at EL2

The alternatives code was patching the atomics in __tsan_read4() from LL/SC
atomics to LSE atomics.

The following fragment is using LL/SC atomics in the .text section:
  | &lt;__tsan_unaligned_read4+304&gt;:     ldxr    x6, [x2]
  | &lt;__tsan_unaligned_read4+308&gt;:     add     x6, x6, x5
  | &lt;__tsan_unaligned_read4+312&gt;:     stxr    w7, x6, [x2]
  | &lt;__tsan_unaligned_read4+316&gt;:     cbnz    w7, &lt;__tsan_unaligned_read4+304&gt;

This LL/SC atomic sequence was to be replaced with LSE atomics. However since
the alternatives code was instrumentable, __tsan_read4() was being called after
only the first instruction was replaced, which led to the following code in memory:
  | &lt;__tsan_unaligned_read4+304&gt;:     ldadd   x5, x6, [x2]
  | &lt;__tsan_unaligned_read4+308&gt;:     add     x6, x6, x5
  | &lt;__tsan_unaligned_read4+312&gt;:     stxr    w7, x6, [x2]
  | &lt;__tsan_unaligned_read4+316&gt;:     cbnz    w7, &lt;__tsan_unaligned_read4+304&gt;

This caused an infinite loop as the `stxr` instruction never completed successfully,
so `w7` was always 0.
