<id>urn:sha1:bf023e76a8c004fe38e90a3f4bbd5b47cadb741f</id>
<content type='text'>
When building with W=1, GCC complains that we haven't defined prototypes
for a number of non-static functions in entry-common.c:

| arch/arm64/kernel/entry-common.c:203:25: warning: no previous prototype for 'el1_sync_handler' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
|   203 | asmlinkage void noinstr el1_sync_handler(struct pt_regs *regs)
|       |                         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| arch/arm64/kernel/entry-common.c:377:25: warning: no previous prototype for 'el0_sync_handler' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
|   377 | asmlinkage void noinstr el0_sync_handler(struct pt_regs *regs)
|       |                         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| arch/arm64/kernel/entry-common.c:447:25: warning: no previous prototype for 'el0_sync_compat_handler' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
|   447 | asmlinkage void noinstr el0_sync_compat_handler(struct pt_regs *regs)
|       |                         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

... and so automated build systems using W=1 end up sending a number of
emails, despite this not being a real problem as the only callers are in
entry.S where prototypes cannot matter.

For similar cases in entry-common.c we added prototypes to
asm/exception.h, so let's do the same thing here for consistency.

Note that there are a number of other warnings printed with W=1, both
under arch/arm64 and in core code, and this patch only addresses the
cases in entry-common.c. Automated build systems typically filter these
warnings such that they're only reported when changes are made nearby,
so we don't need to solve them all at once.

<content type='text'>
Exceptions which can be taken at (almost) any time are consdiered to be
NMIs. On arm64 that includes:

* SDEI events
* GICv3 Pseudo-NMIs
* Kernel stack overflows
* Unexpected/unhandled exceptions

... but currently debug exceptions (BRKs, breakpoints, watchpoints,
single-step) are not considered NMIs.

As these can be taken at any time, kernel features (lockdep, RCU,
ftrace) may not be in a consistent kernel state. For example, we may
take an NMI from the idle code or partway through an entry/exit path.

While nmi_enter() and nmi_exit() handle most of this state, notably they
don't save/restore the lockdep state across an NMI being taken and
handled. When interrupts are enabled and an NMI is taken, lockdep may
see interrupts become disabled within the NMI code, but not see
interrupts become enabled when returning from the NMI, leaving lockdep
believing interrupts are disabled when they are actually disabled.

The x86 code handles this in idtentry_{enter,exit}_nmi(), which will
shortly be moved to the generic entry code. As we can't use either yet,
we copy the x86 approach in arm64-specific helpers. All the NMI
entrypoints are marked as noinstr to prevent any instrumentation
handling code being invoked before the state has been corrected.

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=23529049c68423820487304f244144e0d576e85a'/>
<id>urn:sha1:23529049c68423820487304f244144e0d576e85a</id>
<content type='text'>
When built with PROVE_LOCKING, NO_HZ_FULL, and CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE
will WARN() at boot time that interrupts are enabled when we call
context_tracking_user_enter(), despite the DAIF flags indicating that
IRQs are masked.

The problem is that we're not tracking IRQ flag changes accurately, and
so lockdep believes interrupts are enabled when they are not (and
vice-versa). We can shuffle things so to make this more accurate. For
kernel-&gt;user transitions there are a number of constraints we need to
consider:

1) When we call __context_tracking_user_enter() HW IRQs must be disabled
   and lockdep must be up-to-date with this.

2) Userspace should be treated as having IRQs enabled from the PoV of
   both lockdep and tracing.

3) As context_tracking_user_enter() stops RCU from watching, we cannot
   use RCU after calling it.

4) IRQ flag tracing and lockdep have state that must be manipulated
   before RCU is disabled.

... with similar constraints applying for user-&gt;kernel transitions, with
the ordering reversed.

The generic entry code has enter_from_user_mode() and
exit_to_user_mode() helpers to handle this. We can't use those directly,
so we add arm64 copies for now (without the instrumentation markers
which aren't used on arm64). These replace the existing user_exit() and
user_exit_irqoff() calls spread throughout handlers, and the exception
unmasking is left as-is.

Note that:

* The accounting for debug exceptions from userspace now happens in
  el0_dbg() and ret_to_user(), so this is removed from
  debug_exception_enter() and debug_exception_exit(). As
  user_exit_irqoff() wakes RCU, the userspace-specific check is removed.

* The accounting for syscalls now happens in el0_svc(),
  el0_svc_compat(), and ret_to_user(), so this is removed from
  el0_svc_common(). This does not adversely affect the workaround for
  erratum 1463225, as this does not depend on any of the state tracking.

* In ret_to_user() we mask interrupts with local_daif_mask(), and so we
  need to inform lockdep and tracing. Here a trace_hardirqs_off() is
  sufficient and safe as we have not yet exited kernel context and RCU
  is usable.

* As PROVE_LOCKING selects TRACE_IRQFLAGS, the ifdeferry in entry.S only
  needs to check for the latter.

* EL0 SError handling will be dealt with in a subsequent patch, as this
  needs to be treated as an NMI.

Prior to this patch, booting an appropriately-configured kernel would
result in spats as below:

<title>arm64: entry: move el1 irq/nmi logic to C</title>

<id>urn:sha1:105fc3352077bba5faaf12cf39f7e3aad26fb70b</id>
<content type='text'>
In preparation for reworking the EL1 irq/nmi entry code, move the
existing logic to C. We no longer need the asm_nmi_enter() and
asm_nmi_exit() wrappers, so these are removed. The new C functions are
marked noinstr, which prevents compiler instrumentation and runtime
probing.

In subsequent patches we'll want the new C helpers to be called in all
cases, so we don't bother wrapping the calls with ifdeferry. Even when
the new C functions are stubs the trivial calls are unlikely to have a
measurable impact on the IRQ or NMI paths anyway.

Prototypes are added to &lt;asm/exception.h&gt; as otherwise (in some
configurations) GCC will complain about the lack of a forward
declaration. We already do this for existing function, e.g.
enter_from_user_mode().

The new helpers are marked as noinstr (which prevents all
instrumentation, tracing, and kprobes). Otherwise, there should be no
functional change as a result of this patch.

<title>arm64: expose FAR_EL1 tag bits in siginfo</title>

<id>urn:sha1:dceec3ff78076757311d92a388d50d0251fb7dbb</id>
<content type='text'>
The kernel currently clears the tag bits (i.e. bits 56-63) in the fault
address exposed via siginfo.si_addr and sigcontext.fault_address. However,
the tag bits may be needed by tools in order to accurately diagnose
memory errors, such as HWASan [1] or future tools based on the Memory
Tagging Extension (MTE).

Expose these bits via the arch_untagged_si_addr mechanism, so that
they are only exposed to signal handlers with the SA_EXPOSE_TAGBITS
flag set.

<title>arm64: ptrauth: Introduce Armv8.3 pointer authentication enhancements</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=e16aeb072682d3dcdbdad452c974baa0d2b0c6db'/>
<id>urn:sha1:e16aeb072682d3dcdbdad452c974baa0d2b0c6db</id>
<content type='text'>
Some Armv8.3 Pointer Authentication enhancements have been introduced
which are mandatory for Armv8.6 and optional for Armv8.3. These features
are,

* ARMv8.3-PAuth2 - An enhanced PAC generation logic is added which hardens
  finding the correct PAC value of the authenticated pointer.

* ARMv8.3-FPAC - Fault is generated now when the ptrauth authentication
  instruction fails in authenticating the PAC present in the address.
  This is different from earlier case when such failures just adds an
  error code in the top byte and waits for subsequent load/store to abort.
  The ptrauth instructions which may cause this fault are autiasp, retaa
  etc.

The above features are now represented by additional configurations
for the Address Authentication cpufeature and a new ESR exception class.

The userspace fault received in the kernel due to ARMv8.3-FPAC is treated
as Illegal instruction and hence signal SIGILL is injected with ILL_ILLOPN
as the signal code. Note that this is different from earlier ARMv8.3
ptrauth where signal SIGSEGV is issued due to Pointer authentication
failures. The in-kernel PAC fault causes kernel to crash.

<id>urn:sha1:8ef8f360cf30be12382f89ff48a57fbbd9b31c14</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds the bare minimum required to expose the ARMv8.5
Branch Target Identification feature to userspace.

By itself, this does _not_ automatically enable BTI for any initial
executable pages mapped by execve().  This will come later, but for
now it should be possible to enable BTI manually on those pages by
using mprotect() from within the target process.

Other arches already using the generic mman.h are already using
0x10 for arch-specific prot flags, so we use that for PROT_BTI
here.

For consistency, signal handler entry points in BTI guarded pages
are required to be annotated as such, just like any other function.
This blocks a relatively minor attack vector, but comforming
userspace will have the annotations anyway, so we may as well
enforce them.

the commit bfe298745afc ("arm64: entry-common: don't touch daif before

not introduce any functional change.

For most of the exception entry code, &lt;foo&gt;_handler() is the first C
function called from the entry assembly in entry-common.c, and external
functions handling the bulk of the logic are called do_&lt;foo&gt;().

For consistency, apply this scheme to el0_svc_handler and
el0_svc_compat_handler, renaming them to do_el0_svc and
do_el0_svc_compat respectively.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
