<content type='text'>
Jonathan reports that the strict policy for memory mapped by the
ACPI core breaks the use case of passing ACPI table overrides via
initramfs. This is due to the fact that the memory type used for
loading the initramfs in memory is not recognized as a memory type
that is typically used by firmware to pass firmware tables.

Since the purpose of the strict policy is to ensure that no AML or
other ACPI code can manipulate any memory that is used by the kernel
to keep its internal state or the state of user tasks, we can relax
the permission check, and allow mappings of memory that is reserved
and marked as NOMAP via memblock, and therefore not covered by the
linear mapping to begin with.

Replace the existing /* fall through */ comments and its variants with
the new pseudo-keyword macro fallthrough[1]. Also, remove unnecessary
fall-through markings when it is the case.

<content type='text'>
Given that the contents of EFI runtime code and data regions are
provided by the firmware, as well as the DSDT, it is not unimaginable
that AML code exists today that accesses EFI runtime code regions using
a SystemMemory OpRegion. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with that,
but since we take great care to ensure that executable code is never
mapped writeable and executable at the same time, we should not permit
AML to create writable mapping.

<id>urn:sha1:1583052d111f8ea43f9954c5e749164fd2b954af</id>
<content type='text'>
AML uses SystemMemory opregions to allow AML handlers to access MMIO
registers of, e.g., GPIO controllers, or access reserved regions of
memory that are owned by the firmware.

Currently, we also allow AML access to memory that is owned by the
kernel and mapped via the linear region, which does not seem to be
supported by a valid use case, and exposes the kernel's internal
state to AML methods that may be buggy and exploitable.

On arm64, ACPI support requires booting in EFI mode, and so we can cross
reference the requested region against the EFI memory map, rather than
just do a minimal check on the first page. So let's only permit regions
to be remapped by the ACPI core if
- they don't appear in the EFI memory map at all (which is the case for
  most MMIO), or
- they are covered by a single region in the EFI memory map, which is not
  of a type that describes memory that is given to the kernel at boot.

The replacement of &lt;asm/pgrable.h&gt; with &lt;linux/pgtable.h&gt; made the include
of the latter in the middle of asm includes.  Fix this up with the aid of
the below script and manual adjustments here and there.

	import sys
	import re

	if len(sys.argv) is not 3:
	    print "USAGE: %s &lt;file&gt; &lt;header&gt;" % (sys.argv[0])
	    sys.exit(1)

	hdr_to_move="#include &lt;linux/%s&gt;" % sys.argv[2]
	moved = False
	in_hdrs = False

	with open(sys.argv[1], "r") as f:
	    lines = f.readlines()
	    for _line in lines:
		line = _line.rstrip('
')
		if line == hdr_to_move:
		    continue
		if line.startswith("#include &lt;linux/"):
		    in_hdrs = True
		elif not moved and in_hdrs:
		    moved = True

The include/linux/pgtable.h is going to be the home of generic page table
manipulation functions.

Start with moving asm-generic/pgtable.h to include/linux/pgtable.h and
make the latter include asm/pgtable.h.

<title>arm64: acpi: Make apei_claim_sea() synchronise with APEI's irq work</title>

<content type='text'>
APEI is unable to do all of its error handling work in nmi-context, so
it defers non-fatal work onto the irq_work queue. arch_irq_work_raise()
sends an IPI to the calling cpu, but this is not guaranteed to be taken
before returning to user-space.

Unless the exception interrupted a context with irqs-masked,
irq_work_run() can run immediately. Otherwise return -EINPROGRESS to
indicate ghes_notify_sea() found some work to do, but it hasn't
finished yet.

With this apei_claim_sea() returning '0' means this external-abort was
also notification of a firmware-first RAS error, and that APEI has
processed the CPER records.

<title>arm64: acpi: fix DAIF manipulation with pNMI</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e533dbe9dcb199bb637a2c465f3a6e70564994fe</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit:

  d44f1b8dd7e66d80 ("arm64: KVM/mm: Move SEA handling behind a single 'claim' interface")

... the top-level APEI SEA handler has the shape:

1. current_flags = arch_local_save_flags()
2. local_daif_restore(DAIF_ERRCTX)
3. &lt;GHES handler&gt;
4. local_daif_restore(current_flags)

However, since commit:

  4a503217ce37e1f4 ("arm64: irqflags: Use ICC_PMR_EL1 for interrupt masking")

... when pseudo-NMIs (pNMIs) are in use, arch_local_save_flags() will save
the PMR value rather than the DAIF flags.

The combination of these two commits means that the APEI SEA handler will
erroneously attempt to restore the PMR value into DAIF. Fix this by
factoring local_daif_save_flags() out of local_daif_save(), so that we
can consistently save DAIF in step #1, regardless of whether pNMIs are in
use.

Both commits were introduced concurrently in v5.0.

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

Some Qualcomm Snapdragon based laptops built to run Microsoft Windows
are clearly ACPI 5.1 based, given that that is the first ACPI revision
that supports ARM, and introduced the FADT 'arm_boot_flags' field,
which has a non-zero field on those systems.

So in these cases, infer from the ARM boot flags that the FADT must be
5.1 or later, and treat it as 5.1.
