<title>arm64: Avoid cpus_have_const_cap() for ARM64_HAS_BTI</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=bbbb65770bf44d3eaec5b7784028756b58ea08db'/>
<id>urn:sha1:bbbb65770bf44d3eaec5b7784028756b58ea08db</id>
<content type='text'>
In system_supports_bti() we use cpus_have_const_cap() to check for
ARM64_HAS_BTI, but this is not necessary and alternative_has_cap_*() or
cpus_have_final_*cap() would be preferable.

For historical reasons, cpus_have_const_cap() is more complicated than
it needs to be. Before cpucaps are finalized, it will perform a bitmap
test of the system_cpucaps bitmap, and once cpucaps are finalized it
will use an alternative branch. This used to be necessary to handle some
race conditions in the window between cpucap detection and the
subsequent patching of alternatives and static branches, where different
branches could be out-of-sync with one another (or w.r.t. alternative
sequences). Now that we use alternative branches instead of static
branches, these are all patched atomically w.r.t. one another, and there
are only a handful of cases that need special care in the window between
cpucap detection and alternative patching.

Due to the above, it would be nice to remove cpus_have_const_cap(), and
migrate callers over to alternative_has_cap_*(), cpus_have_final_cap(),
or cpus_have_cap() depending on when their requirements. This will
remove redundant instructions and improve code generation, and will make
it easier to determine how each callsite will behave before, during, and
after alternative patching.

When CONFIG_ARM64_BTI_KERNEL=y, the ARM64_HAS_BTI cpucap is a strict
boot cpu feature which is detected and patched early on the boot cpu.
All uses guarded by CONFIG_ARM64_BTI_KERNEL happen after the boot CPU
has detected ARM64_HAS_BTI and patched boot alternatives, and hence can
safely use alternative_has_cap_*() or cpus_have_final_boot_cap().

Regardless of CONFIG_ARM64_BTI_KERNEL, all other uses of ARM64_HAS_BTI
happen after system capabilities have been finalized and alternatives
have been patched. Hence these can safely use alternative_has_cap_*) or
cpus_have_final_cap().

This patch splits system_supports_bti() into system_supports_bti() and
system_supports_bti_kernel(), with the former handling where the cpucap
affects userspace functionality, and ther latter handling where the
cpucap affects kernel functionality. The use of cpus_have_const_cap() is
replaced by cpus_have_final_cap() in cpus_have_const_cap, and
cpus_have_final_boot_cap() in system_supports_bti_kernel(). This will
avoid generating code to test the system_cpucaps bitmap and should be
better for all subsequent calls at runtime. The use of
cpus_have_final_cap() and cpus_have_final_boot_cap() will make it easier
to spot if code is chaanged such that these run before the ARM64_HAS_BTI
cpucap is guaranteed to have been finalized.

<title>arm64: add encodings of PIRx_ELx registers</title>

<content type='text'>
The encodings used in the permission indirection registers means that the
values that Linux puts in the PTEs do not need to be changed.

The E0 values are replicated in E1, with the execute permissions removed.
This is needed as the futex operations access user mappings with privileged
loads/stores.

Make these macros available to assembly code, so they can be re-used by the
PIE initialisation code.

This involves adding some extra macros, prepended with _ that are the raw
values not `pgprot` values.

A dummy value for PTE_MAYBE_NG is also provided, for use in assembly.

<title>arm64: add PTE_WRITE to PROT_SECT_NORMAL</title>

<content type='text'>
With PIE enabled, PROT_SECT_NORMAL would map onto PAGE_KERNEL_RO.
Add PTE_WRITE so that this maps onto PAGE_KERNEL, so that it is writable.

Without PIE, this should enable DBM for PROT_SECT_NORMAL. However PTE_RDONLY
is already cleared, so the DBM mechanism is not used, and it is always writable,
so this is functionally equivalent.

Let's use one of the type bits: core-mm only supports 5, so there is no
need to consume 6.

Note that we might be able to reuse bit 1, but reusing bit 1 turned out
problematic in the past for PROT_NONE handling; so let's play safe and use
another bit.

<title>arm64: Ensure execute-only permissions are not allowed without EPAN</title>

<content type='text'>
Commit 18107f8a2df6 ("arm64: Support execute-only permissions with
Enhanced PAN") re-introduced execute-only permissions when EPAN is
available. When EPAN is not available, arch_filter_pgprot() is supposed
to change a PAGE_EXECONLY permission into PAGE_READONLY_EXEC. However,
if BTI or MTE are present, such check does not detect the execute-only
pgprot in the presence of PTE_GP (BTI) or MT_NORMAL_TAGGED (MTE),
allowing the user to request PROT_EXEC with PROT_BTI or PROT_MTE.

Remove the arch_filter_pgprot() function, change the default VM_EXEC
permissions to PAGE_READONLY_EXEC and update the protection_map[] array
at core_initcall() if EPAN is detected.

Enhanced Privileged Access Never (EPAN) allows Privileged Access Never
to be used with Execute-only mappings.

Absence of such support was a reason for 24cecc377463 ("arm64: Revert
support for execute-only user mappings"). Thus now it can be revisited
and re-enabled.
