[ Upstream commit 680a0873e193bae666439f4b5e32c758e68f114c ]

This patch adds a quirk parameter to the arm_smccc_(smc/hvc) calls.
The quirk structure allows for specialized SMC operations due to SoC
specific requirements.  The current arm_smccc_(smc/hvc) is renamed and
macros are used instead to specify the standard arm_smccc_(smc/hvc) or
the arm_smccc_(smc/hvc)_quirk function.

This patch and partial implementation was suggested by Will Deacon.

<title>arm64: Introduce uaccess_{disable,enable} functionality based on TTBR0_EL1</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4b65a5db362783ab4b04ca1c1d2ad70ed9b0ba2a</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds the uaccess macros/functions to disable access to user
space by setting TTBR0_EL1 to a reserved zeroed page. Since the value
written to TTBR0_EL1 must be a physical address, for simplicity this
patch introduces a reserved_ttbr0 page at a constant offset from
swapper_pg_dir. The uaccess_disable code uses the ttbr1_el1 value
adjusted by the reserved_ttbr0 offset.

Enabling access to user is done by restoring TTBR0_EL1 with the value
from the struct thread_info ttbr0 variable. Interrupts must be disabled
during the uaccess_ttbr0_enable code to ensure the atomicity of the
thread_info.ttbr0 read and TTBR0_EL1 write. This patch also moves the
get_thread_info asm macro from entry.S to assembler.h for reuse in the
uaccess_ttbr0_* macros.

<title>arm64: split thread_info from task stack</title>
<updated>2016-11-11T18:25:46Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Mark Rutland</name>

<published>2016-11-03T20:23:13Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=c02433dd6de32f042cf3ffe476746b1115b8c096'/>
<id>urn:sha1:c02433dd6de32f042cf3ffe476746b1115b8c096</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch moves arm64's struct thread_info from the task stack into
task_struct. This protects thread_info from corruption in the case of
stack overflows, and makes its address harder to determine if stack
addresses are leaked, making a number of attacks more difficult. Precise
detection and handling of overflow is left for subsequent patches.

Largely, this involves changing code to store the task_struct in sp_el0,
and acquire the thread_info from the task struct. Core code now
implements current_thread_info(), and as noted in &lt;linux/sched.h&gt; this
relies on offsetof(task_struct, thread_info) == 0, enforced by core
code.

This change means that the 'tsk' register used in entry.S now points to
a task_struct, rather than a thread_info as it used to. To make this
clear, the TI_* field offsets are renamed to TSK_TI_*, with asm-offsets
appropriately updated to account for the structural change.

Userspace clobbers sp_el0, and we can no longer restore this from the
stack. Instead, the current task is cached in a per-cpu variable that we
can safely access from early assembly as interrupts are disabled (and we
are thus not preemptible).

Both secondary entry and idle are updated to stash the sp and task
pointer separately.

Subsequent patches will move the thread_info::{task,cpu} fields, and the
current TI_{TASK,CPU} offset definitions are not used anywhere.

This patch removes the redundant definitions.

<title>arm64: Work around systems with mismatched cache line sizes</title>

<id>urn:sha1:116c81f427ff6c5380850963e3fb8798cc821d2b</id>
<content type='text'>
Systems with differing CPU i-cache/d-cache line sizes can cause
problems with the cache management by software when the execution
is migrated from one to another. Usually, the application reads
the cache size on a CPU and then uses that length to perform cache
operations. However, if it gets migrated to another CPU with a smaller
cache line size, things could go completely wrong. To prevent such
cases, always use the smallest cache line size among the CPUs. The
kernel CPU feature infrastructure already keeps track of the safe
value for all CPUID registers including CTR. This patch works around
the problem by :

For kernel, dynamically patch the kernel to read the cache size
from the system wide copy of CTR_EL0.

For applications, trap read accesses to CTR_EL0 (by clearing the SCTLR.UCT)
and emulate the mrs instruction to return the system wide safe value
of CTR_EL0.

For faster access (i.e, avoiding to lookup the system wide value of CTR_EL0
via read_system_reg), we keep track of the pointer to table entry for
CTR_EL0 in the CPU feature infrastructure.

<content type='text'>
The trampoline code is used by kretprobes to capture a return from a probed
function.  This is done by saving the registers, calling the handler, and
restoring the registers. The code then returns to the original saved caller
return address. It is necessary to do this directly instead of using a
software breakpoint because the code used in processing that breakpoint
could itself be kprobe'd and cause a problematic reentry into the debug
exception handler.

<title>arm64: Add support for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW in clock_gettime() vDSO</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=49eea433b326a0ac5c7c941a011b2c65990bd19b'/>
<id>urn:sha1:49eea433b326a0ac5c7c941a011b2c65990bd19b</id>
<content type='text'>
So far the arm64 clock_gettime() vDSO implementation only supported
the following clocks, falling back to the syscall for the others:
- CLOCK_REALTIME{,_COARSE}
- CLOCK_MONOTONIC{,_COARSE}

This patch adds support for the CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW clock, taking
advantage of the recent refactoring of the vDSO time functions. Like
the non-_COARSE clocks, this only works when the "arch_sys_counter"
clocksource is in use (allowing us to read the current time from the
virtual counter register), otherwise we also have to fall back to the
syscall.

Most of the data is shared with CLOCK_MONOTONIC, and the algorithm is
similar. The reference implementation in kernel/time/timekeeping.c
shows that:
- CLOCK_MONOTONIC = tk-&gt;wall_to_monotonic + tk-&gt;xtime_sec +
  timekeeping_get_ns(&amp;tk-&gt;tkr_mono)
- CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW = tk-&gt;raw_time + timekeeping_get_ns(&amp;tk-&gt;tkr_raw)
- tkr_mono and tkr_raw are identical (in particular, same
  clocksource), except these members:
  * mult (only mono's multiplier is NTP-adjusted)
  * xtime_nsec (always 0 for raw)

Therefore, tk-&gt;raw_time and tkr_raw-&gt;mult are now also stored in the
vDSO data page.

If we take an exception while at EL1, the exception handler inherits
the original context's addr_limit and PSTATE.UAO values. To be consistent
always reset addr_limit and PSTATE.UAO on (re-)entry to EL1. This
prevents accidental re-use of the original context's addr_limit.

Based on a similar patch for arm from Russell King.
