arm64: errata: Add Cortex-A55 to the repeat tlbi list

2022-10-21T10:37:42Z

commit 171df58028bf4649460fb146a56a58dcb0c8f75a upstream. Cortex-A55 is affected by an erratum where in rare circumstances the CPUs may not handle a race between a break-before-make sequence on one CPU, and another CPU accessing the same page. This could allow a store to a page that has been unmapped. Work around this by adding the affected CPUs to the list that needs TLB sequences to be done twice.

arm64/bti: Disable in kernel BTI when cross section thunks are broken

2022-09-06T07:56:46Z

GCC does not insert a `bti c` instruction at the beginning of a function when it believes that all callers reach the function through a direct branch[1]. Unfortunately the logic it uses to determine this is not sufficiently robust, for example not taking account of functions being placed in different sections which may be loaded separately, so we may still see thunks being generated to these functions. If that happens, the first instruction in the callee function will result in a Branch Target Exception due to the missing landing pad. While this has currently only been observed in the case of modules having their main code loaded sufficiently far from their init section to require thunks it could potentially happen for other cases so the safest thing is to disable BTI for the kernel when building with an affected toolchain.

arm64: errata: add detection for AMEVCNTR01 incrementing incorrectly

2022-08-23T10:06:48Z

The AMU counter AMEVCNTR01 (constant counter) should increment at the same rate as the system counter. On affected Cortex-A510 cores, AMEVCNTR01 increments incorrectly giving a significantly higher output value. This results in inaccurate task scheduler utilization tracking and incorrect feedback on CPU frequency. Work around this problem by returning 0 when reading the affected counter in key locations that results in disabling all users of this counter from using it either for frequency invariance or as FFH reference counter. This effect is the same to firmware disabling affected counters. Details on how the two features are affected by this erratum: - AMU counters will not be used for frequency invariance for affected CPUs and CPUs in the same cpufreq policy. AMUs can still be used for frequency invariance for unaffected CPUs in the system. Although unlikely, if no alternative method can be found to support frequency invariance for affected CPUs (cpufreq based or solution based on platform counters) frequency invariance will be disabled. Please check the chapter on frequency invariance at Documentation/scheduler/sched-capacity.rst for details of its effect. - Given that FFH can be used to fetch either the core or constant counter values, restrictions are lifted regarding any of these counters returning a valid (!0) value. Therefore FFH is considered supported if there is a least one CPU that support AMUs, independent of any counters being disabled or affected by this erratum. Clarifying comments are now added to the cpc_ffh_supported(), cpu_read_constcnt() and cpu_read_corecnt() functions. The above is achieved through adding a new erratum: ARM64_ERRATUM_2457168.

Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney: - Documentation updates - Miscellaneous fixes - Callback-offload updates, perhaps most notably a new RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL Kconfig option that causes all CPUs to be offloaded at boot time, regardless of kernel boot parameters. This is useful to battery-powered systems such as ChromeOS and Android. In addition, a new RCU_NOCB_CPU_CB_BOOST kernel boot parameter prevents offloaded callbacks from interfering with real-time workloads and with energy-efficiency mechanisms - Polled grace-period updates, perhaps most notably making these APIs account for both normal and expedited grace periods - Tasks RCU updates, perhaps most notably reducing the CPU overhead of RCU tasks trace grace periods by more than a factor of two on a system with 15,000 tasks. The reduction is expected to increase with the number of tasks, so it seems reasonable to hypothesize that a system with 150,000 tasks might see a 20-fold reduction in CPU overhead - Torture-test updates - Updates that merge RCU's dyntick-idle tracking into context tracking, thus reducing the overhead of transitioning to kernel mode from either idle or nohz_full userspace execution for kernels that track context independently of RCU. This is expected to be helpful primarily for kernels built with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y * tag 'rcu.2022.07.26a' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu: (98 commits) rcu: Add irqs-disabled indicator to expedited RCU CPU stall warnings rcu: Diagnose extended sync_rcu_do_polled_gp() loops rcu: Put panic_on_rcu_stall() after expedited RCU CPU stall warnings rcutorture: Test polled expedited grace-period primitives rcu: Add polled expedited grace-period primitives rcutorture: Verify that polled GP API sees synchronous grace periods rcu: Make Tiny RCU grace periods visible to polled APIs rcu: Make polled grace-period API account for expedited grace periods rcu: Switch polled grace-period APIs to ->gp_seq_polled rcu/nocb: Avoid polling when my_rdp->nocb_head_rdp list is empty rcu/nocb: Add option to opt rcuo kthreads out of RT priority rcu: Add nocb_cb_kthread check to rcu_is_callbacks_kthread() rcu/nocb: Add an option to offload all CPUs on boot rcu/nocb: Fix NOCB kthreads spawn failure with rcu_nocb_rdp_deoffload() direct call rcu/nocb: Invert rcu_state.barrier_mutex VS hotplug lock locking order rcu/nocb: Add/del rdp to iterate from rcuog itself rcu/tree: Add comment to describe GP-done condition in fqs loop rcu: Initialize first_gp_fqs at declaration in rcu_gp_fqs() rcu/kvfree: Remove useless monitor_todo flag rcu: Cleanup RCU urgency state for offline CPU ...

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld: "Though there's been a decent amount of RNG-related development during this last cycle, not all of it is coming through this tree, as this cycle saw a shift toward tackling early boot time seeding issues, which took place in other trees as well. Here's a summary of the various patches: - The CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM .config option and the "nordrand" boot option have been removed, as they overlapped with the more widely supported and more sensible options, CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_CPU and "random.trust_cpu". This change allowed simplifying a bit of arch code. - x86's RDRAND boot time test has been made a bit more robust, with RDRAND disabled if it's clearly producing bogus results. This would be a tip.git commit, technically, but I took it through random.git to avoid a large merge conflict. - The RNG has long since mixed in a timestamp very early in boot, on the premise that a computer that does the same things, but does so starting at different points in wall time, could be made to still produce a different RNG state. Unfortunately, the clock isn't set early in boot on all systems, so now we mix in that timestamp when the time is actually set. - User Mode Linux now uses the host OS's getrandom() syscall to generate a bootloader RNG seed and later on treats getrandom() as the platform's RDRAND-like faculty. - The arch_get_random_{seed_,}_long() family of functions is now arch_get_random_{seed_,}_longs(), which enables certain platforms, such as s390, to exploit considerable performance advantages from requesting multiple CPU random numbers at once, while at the same time compiling down to the same code as before on platforms like x86. - A small cleanup changing a cmpxchg() into a try_cmpxchg(), from Uros. - A comment spelling fix" More info about other random number changes that come in through various architecture trees in the full commentary in the pull request: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220731232428.2219258-1-Jason@zx2c4.com/ * tag 'random-6.0-rc1-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/crng/random: random: correct spelling of "overwrites" random: handle archrandom with multiple longs um: seed rng using host OS rng random: use try_cmpxchg in _credit_init_bits timekeeping: contribute wall clock to rng on time change x86/rdrand: Remove "nordrand" flag in favor of "random.trust_cpu" random: remove CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM
