<title>riscv: Fix fully ordered LR/SC xchg[8|16]() implementations</title>

The fully ordered versions of xchg[8|16]() using LR/SC lack the
necessary memory barriers to guarantee the order.

Fix this by matching what is already implemented in the fully ordered
versions of cmpxchg() using LR/SC.

Commit c97bf629963e ("riscv: Fix text patching when IPI are used")
converted ftrace_make_nop() to use patch_insn_write() which does not
emit any icache flush relying entirely on __ftrace_modify_code() to do
that.

But we missed that ftrace_make_nop() was called very early directly when
converting mcount calls into nops (actually on riscv it converts 2B nops
emitted by the compiler into 4B nops).

This caused crashes on multiple HW as reported by Conor and Björn since
the booting core could have half-patched instructions in its icache
which would trigger an illegal instruction trap: fix this by emitting a
local flush icache when early patching nops.

Charlie Jenkins &lt;charlie@rivosinc.com&gt; says:

This series contains two minor fixes for the extension parsing in
cpufeature.c.

Some T-Head boards without vector 1.0 support report "v" in the isa
string in their DT which will cause the kernel to run vector code. The
code to blacklist "v" from these boards was doing so by using
riscv_cached_mvendorid() which has not been populated at the time of
extension parsing. This fix instead greedily reads the mvendorid CSR of
the boot hart to determine if the cpu is from T-Head.

The other fix is for an incorrect indexing bug. riscv extensions
sometimes imply other extensions. When adding these "subset" extensions
to the hardware capabilities array, they need to be checked if they are
valid. The current code only checks if the extension that is including
other extensions is valid and not the subset extensions.

<id>7caa9765465f60b6d88e22264892cee12d971888</id>
<content type='text'>
This commit replaces riscv's support for FTRACE_WITH_REGS with support
for FTRACE_WITH_ARGS. This is required for the ongoing effort to stop
relying on stop_machine() for RISCV's implementation of ftrace.

The main relevant benefit that this change will bring for the above
use-case is that now we don't have separate ftrace_caller and
ftrace_regs_caller trampolines. This will allow the callsite to call
ftrace_caller by modifying a single instruction. Now the callsite can
do something similar to:

When not tracing:            |             When tracing:

func:                                      func:
  auipc t0, ftrace_caller_top                auipc t0, ftrace_caller_top
  nop  &lt;=========&lt;Enable/Disable&gt;=========&gt;  jalr  t0, ftrace_caller_bottom
  [...]                                      [...]

The above assumes that we are dropping the support of calling a direct
trampoline from the callsite. We need to drop this as the callsite can't
change the target address to call, it can only enable/disable a call to
a preset target (ftrace_caller in the above diagram). We can later optimize
this by calling an intermediate dispatcher trampoline before ftrace_caller.

Currently, ftrace_regs_caller saves all CPU registers in the format of
struct pt_regs and allows the tracer to modify them. We don't need to
save all of the CPU registers because at function entry only a subset of
pt_regs is live:

|----------+----------+---------------------------------------------|
| Register | ABI Name | Description                                 |
|----------+----------+---------------------------------------------|
| x1       | ra       | Return address for traced function          |
| x2       | sp       | Stack pointer                               |
| x5       | t0       | Return address for ftrace_caller trampoline |
| x8       | s0/fp    | Frame pointer                               |
| x10-11   | a0-1     | Function arguments/return values            |
| x12-17   | a2-7     | Function arguments                          |
|----------+----------+---------------------------------------------|

See RISCV calling convention[1] for the above table.

Saving just the live registers decreases the amount of stack space
required from 288 Bytes to 112 Bytes.

Basic testing was done with this on the VisionFive 2 development board.

Note:
  - Moving from REGS to ARGS will mean that RISCV will stop supporting
    KPROBES_ON_FTRACE as it requires full pt_regs to be saved.
  - KPROBES_ON_FTRACE will be supplanted by FPROBES see [2].

This commit replaces riscv's support for FTRACE_WITH_REGS with support
for FTRACE_WITH_ARGS. This is required for the ongoing effort to stop
relying on stop_machine() for RISCV's implementation of ftrace.

The main relevant benefit that this change will bring for the above
use-case is that now we don't have separate ftrace_caller and
ftrace_regs_caller trampolines. This will allow the callsite to call
ftrace_caller by modifying a single instruction. Now the callsite can
do something similar to:

When not tracing:            |             When tracing:

func:                                      func:
  auipc t0, ftrace_caller_top                auipc t0, ftrace_caller_top
  nop  &lt;=========&lt;Enable/Disable&gt;=========&gt;  jalr  t0, ftrace_caller_bottom
  [...]                                      [...]

The above assumes that we are dropping the support of calling a direct
trampoline from the callsite. We need to drop this as the callsite can't
change the target address to call, it can only enable/disable a call to
a preset target (ftrace_caller in the above diagram). We can later optimize
this by calling an intermediate dispatcher trampoline before ftrace_caller.

Currently, ftrace_regs_caller saves all CPU registers in the format of
struct pt_regs and allows the tracer to modify them. We don't need to
save all of the CPU registers because at function entry only a subset of
pt_regs is live:

|----------+----------+---------------------------------------------|
| Register | ABI Name | Description                                 |
|----------+----------+---------------------------------------------|
| x1       | ra       | Return address for traced function          |
| x2       | sp       | Stack pointer                               |
| x5       | t0       | Return address for ftrace_caller trampoline |
| x8       | s0/fp    | Frame pointer                               |
| x10-11   | a0-1     | Function arguments/return values            |
| x12-17   | a2-7     | Function arguments                          |
|----------+----------+---------------------------------------------|

See RISCV calling convention[1] for the above table.

Saving just the live registers decreases the amount of stack space
required from 288 Bytes to 112 Bytes.

Basic testing was done with this on the VisionFive 2 development board.

Note:
  - Moving from REGS to ARGS will mean that RISCV will stop supporting
    KPROBES_ON_FTRACE as it requires full pt_regs to be saved.
  - KPROBES_ON_FTRACE will be supplanted by FPROBES see [2].

Samuel Holland &lt;samuel.holland@sifive.com&gt; says:

This series optimizes access_ok() by defining TASK_SIZE_MAX. At Alex's
suggestion, I also tried making TASK_SIZE constant (specifically by
making PGDIR_SHIFT a variable instead of a ternary expression, then
replacing the load with an immediate using ALTERNATIVE). This appeared
to slightly improve performance on some implementations (C906) but
regressed it on others (FU740). So I am leaving further optimizations to
a later series.

  riscv: Define TASK_SIZE_MAX for __access_ok()
  riscv: Remove PGDIR_SIZE_L3 and TASK_SIZE_MIN

The riscv_cpuinfo struct that contains mvendorid and marchid is not
populated until all harts are booted which happens after the DT parsing.
Use the mvendorid/marchid from the boot hart to determine if the DT
contains an invalid V.
