commit 68cf617309b5f6f3a651165f49f20af1494753ae upstream.

PAGE_HYP_DEVICE is intended to encode attribute bits for an EL2 stage-1
pte mapping a device. Unfortunately, it includes PROT_DEVICE_nGnRE which
encodes attributes for EL1 stage-1 mappings such as UXN and nG, which are
RES0 for EL2, and DBM which is meaningless as TCR_EL2.HD is not set.

Fix the definition of PAGE_HYP_DEVICE so that it doesn't set RES0 bits
at EL2.

<title>arm64: Revert support for execute-only user mappings</title>

commit 24cecc37746393432d994c0dbc251fb9ac7c5d72 upstream.

The ARMv8 64-bit architecture supports execute-only user permissions by
clearing the PTE_USER and PTE_UXN bits, practically making it a mostly
privileged mapping but from which user running at EL0 can still execute.

The downside, however, is that the kernel at EL1 inadvertently reading
such mapping would not trip over the PAN (privileged access never)
protection.

Revert the relevant bits from commit cab15ce604e5 ("arm64: Introduce
execute-only page access permissions") so that PROT_EXEC implies
PROT_READ (and therefore PTE_USER) until the architecture gains proper
support for execute-only user mappings.

Fixes: cab15ce604e5 ("arm64: Introduce execute-only page access permissions")

<title>arm64: Ensure VM_WRITE|VM_SHARED ptes are clean by default</title>

<id>urn:sha1:aa57157be69fb599bd4c38a4b75c5aad74a60ec0</id>
<content type='text'>
Shared and writable mappings (__S.1.) should be clean (!dirty) initially
and made dirty on a subsequent write either through the hardware DBM
(dirty bit management) mechanism or through a write page fault. A clean
pte for the arm64 kernel is one that has PTE_RDONLY set and PTE_DIRTY
clear.

The PAGE_SHARED{,_EXEC} attributes have PTE_WRITE set (PTE_DBM) and
PTE_DIRTY clear. Prior to commit 73e86cb03cf2 ("arm64: Move PTE_RDONLY
bit handling out of set_pte_at()"), it was the responsibility of
set_pte_at() to set the PTE_RDONLY bit and mark the pte clean if the
software PTE_DIRTY bit was not set. However, the above commit removed
the pte_sw_dirty() check and the subsequent setting of PTE_RDONLY in
set_pte_at() while leaving the PAGE_SHARED{,_EXEC} definitions
unchanged. The result is that shared+writable mappings are now dirty by
default

Fix the above by explicitly setting PTE_RDONLY in PAGE_SHARED{,_EXEC}.
In addition, remove the superfluous PTE_DIRTY bit from the kernel PROT_*
attributes.

<id>urn:sha1:e8688ba3874915b7d1661a57adf15a9c9e877df7</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit 2f6ea23f63cca ("arm64: KVM: Avoid marking pages as XN in
Stage-2 if CTR_EL0.DIC is set"), KVM has stopped marking normal memory
as execute-never at stage2 when the system supports D-&gt;I Coherency at
the PoU. This avoids KVM taking a trap when the page is first executed,
in order to clean it to PoU.

The patch that added this change also wrapped PAGE_S2_DEVICE mappings
up in this too. The upshot is, if your CPU caches support DIC ...
you can execute devices.

Revert the PAGE_S2_DEVICE change so PTE_S2_XN is always used
directly.

<content type='text'>
In order for things like get_user_pages() to work on ZONE_DEVICE memory,
we need a software PTE bit to identify device-backed PFNs.  Hook this up
along with the relevant helpers to join in with ARCH_HAS_PTE_DEVMAP.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:

 - arm64 support for syscall emulation via PTRACE_SYSEMU{,_SINGLESTEP}

 - Wire up VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS for arm64, allowing the core code to
   manage the permissions of executable vmalloc regions more strictly

 - Slight performance improvement by keeping softirqs enabled while
   touching the FPSIMD/SVE state (kernel_neon_begin/end)

 - Expose a couple of ARMv8.5 features to user (HWCAP): CondM (new
   XAFLAG and AXFLAG instructions for floating point comparison flags
   manipulation) and FRINT (rounding floating point numbers to integers)

 - Re-instate ARM64_PSEUDO_NMI support which was previously marked as
   BROKEN due to some bugs (now fixed)

 - Improve parking of stopped CPUs and implement an arm64-specific
   panic_smp_self_stop() to avoid warning on not being able to stop
   secondary CPUs during panic

 - perf: enable the ARM Statistical Profiling Extensions (SPE) on ACPI
   platforms

 - perf: DDR performance monitor support for iMX8QXP

 - cache_line_size() can now be set from DT or ACPI/PPTT if provided to
   cope with a system cache info not exposed via the CPUID registers

 - Avoid warning on hardware cache line size greater than
   ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN if the system is fully coherent

 - arm64 do_page_fault() and hugetlb cleanups

 - Refactor set_pte_at() to avoid redundant READ_ONCE(*ptep)

 - Ignore ACPI 5.1 FADTs reported as 5.0 (infer from the
   'arm_boot_flags' introduced in 5.1)

 - CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE now enabled in defconfig

 - Allow the selection of ARM64_MODULE_PLTS, currently only done via
   RANDOMIZE_BASE (and an erratum workaround), allowing modules to spill
   over into the vmalloc area

 - Make ZONE_DMA32 configurable

PTE_VALID signifies that the last level page table entry is valid and it is
MMU recognized while walking the page table. This is not a software defined
PTE bit and should not be listed like one. Just move it to appropriate
header file.

<title>arm64: kpti: Avoid rewriting early page tables when KASLR is enabled</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b89d82ef01b33bc50cbaa8ff05607879b40d0704</id>
<content type='text'>
A side effect of commit c55191e96caa ("arm64: mm: apply r/o permissions
of VM areas to its linear alias as well") is that the linear map is
created with page granularity, which means that transitioning the early
page table from global to non-global mappings when enabling kpti can
take a significant amount of time during boot.

Given that most CPU implementations do not require kpti, this mainly
impacts KASLR builds where kpti is forcefully enabled. However, in these
situations we know early on that non-global mappings are required and
can avoid the use of global mappings from the beginning. The only gotcha
is Cavium erratum #27456, which we must detect based on the MIDR value
of the boot CPU.

<content type='text'>
On systems where CTR_EL0.DIC is set, we don't need to perform
icache invalidation to guarantee that we'll fetch the right
instruction stream.

This also means that taking a permission fault to invalidate the
icache is an unnecessary overhead.

On such systems, we can safely leave the page as being executable.
