<content type='text'>
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.

<title>arm64: kernel: Add support for hibernate/suspend-to-disk</title>

<content type='text'>
Add support for hibernate/suspend-to-disk.

Suspend borrows code from cpu_suspend() to write cpu state onto the stack,
before calling swsusp_save() to save the memory image.

Restore creates a set of temporary page tables, covering only the
linear map, copies the restore code to a 'safe' page, then uses the copy to
restore the memory image. The copied code executes in the lower half of the
address space, and once complete, restores the original kernel's page
tables. It then calls into cpu_resume(), and follows the normal
cpu_suspend() path back into the suspend code.

To restore a kernel using KASLR, the address of the page tables, and
cpu_resume() are stored in the hibernate arch-header and the el2
vectors are pivotted via the 'safe' page in low memory.

<title>arm64: Change cpu_resume() to enable mmu early then access sleep_sp by va</title>

<id>urn:sha1:cabe1c81ea5be983425d117912d7883e252a3b09</id>
<content type='text'>
By enabling the MMU early in cpu_resume(), the sleep_save_sp and stack can
be accessed by VA, which avoids the need to convert-addresses and clean to
PoC on the suspend path.

MMU setup is shared with the boot path, meaning the swapper_pg_dir is
restored directly: ttbr1_el1 is no longer saved/restored.

struct sleep_save_sp is removed, replacing it with a single array of
pointers.

cpu_do_{suspend,resume} could be further reduced to not restore: cpacr_el1,
mdscr_el1, tcr_el1, vbar_el1 and sctlr_el1, all of which are set by
__cpu_setup(). However these values all contain res0 bits that may be used
to enable future features.

<title>arm64: kernel: Rework finisher callback out of __cpu_suspend_enter()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:adc9b2dfd00924e9e9b98613f36a6cb8c51f0dc6</id>
<content type='text'>
Hibernate could make use of the cpu_suspend() code to save/restore cpu
state, however it needs to be able to return '0' from the 'finisher'.

Rework cpu_suspend() so that the finisher is called from C code,
independently from the save/restore of cpu state. Space to save the context
in is allocated in the caller's stack frame, and passed into
__cpu_suspend_enter().

Hibernate's use of this API will look like a copy of the cpu_suspend()
function.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "Here are the main arm64 updates for 4.6.  There are some relatively
  intrusive changes to support KASLR, the reworking of the kernel
  virtual memory layout and initial page table creation.

  Summary:

   - Initial page table creation reworked to avoid breaking large block
     mappings (huge pages) into smaller ones.  The ARM architecture
     requires break-before-make in such cases to avoid TLB conflicts but
     that's not always possible on live page tables

   - Kernel virtual memory layout: the kernel image is no longer linked
     to the bottom of the linear mapping (PAGE_OFFSET) but at the bottom
     of the vmalloc space, allowing the kernel to be loaded (nearly)
     anywhere in physical RAM

   - Kernel ASLR: position independent kernel Image and modules being
     randomly mapped in the vmalloc space with the randomness is
     provided by UEFI (efi_get_random_bytes() patches merged via the
     arm64 tree, acked by Matt Fleming)

   - Implement relative exception tables for arm64, required by KASLR
     (initial code for ARCH_HAS_RELATIVE_EXTABLE added to lib/extable.c
     but actual x86 conversion to deferred to 4.7 because of the merge
     dependencies)

   - Support for the User Access Override feature of ARMv8.2: this
     allows uaccess functions (get_user etc.) to be implemented using
     LDTR/STTR instructions.  Such instructions, when run by the kernel,
     perform unprivileged accesses adding an extra level of protection.
     The set_fs() macro is used to "upgrade" such instruction to
     privileged accesses via the UAO bit

   - Half-precision floating point support (part of ARMv8.2)

   - Optimisations for CPUs with or without a hardware prefetcher (using
     run-time code patching)

   - copy_page performance improvement to deal with 128 bytes at a time

   - Sanity checks on the CPU capabilities (via CPUID) to prevent
     incompatible secondary CPUs from being brought up (e.g.  weird
     big.LITTLE configurations)

   - valid_user_regs() reworked for better sanity check of the
     sigcontext information (restored pstate information)

   - ACPI parking protocol implementation

   - CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA enabled by default

   - VDSO code marked as read-only

   - DEBUG_PAGEALLOC support

   - ARCH_HAS_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL enabled

   - Erratum workaround Cavium ThunderX SoC

   - set_pte_at() fix for PROT_NONE mappings

   - Code clean-ups"

<title>arm64: KVM: Move most of the fault decoding to C</title>

<content type='text'>
The fault decoding process (including computing the IPA in the case
of a permission fault) would be much better done in C code, as we
have a reasonable infrastructure to deal with the VHE/non-VHE
differences.

Let's move the whole thing to C, including the workaround for
erratum 834220, and just patch the odd ESR_EL2 access remaining
in hyp-entry.S.

<title>arm64: Handle early CPU boot failures</title>

<author>
<name>Suzuki K Poulose</name>
</author>
<published>2016-02-23T10:31:42Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=bb9052744f4b7ae11d0061ac9492dd2949981b49'/>
<id>urn:sha1:bb9052744f4b7ae11d0061ac9492dd2949981b49</id>
<content type='text'>
A secondary CPU could fail to come online due to insufficient
capabilities and could simply die or loop in the kernel.
e.g, a CPU with no support for the selected kernel PAGE_SIZE
loops in kernel with MMU turned off.
or a hotplugged CPU which doesn't have one of the advertised
system capability will die during the activation.

There is no way to synchronise the status of the failing CPU
back to the master. This patch solves the issue by adding a
field to the secondary_data which can be updated by the failing
CPU. If the secondary CPU fails even before turning the MMU on,
it updates the status in a special variable reserved in the head.txt
section to make sure that the update can be cache invalidated safely
without possible sharing of cache write back granule.

Here are the possible states :

 -1. CPU_MMU_OFF - Initial value set by the master CPU, this value
indicates that the CPU could not turn the MMU on, hence the status
could not be reliably updated in the secondary_data. Instead, the
CPU has updated the status @ __early_cpu_boot_status.

 0. CPU_BOOT_SUCCESS - CPU has booted successfully.

 1. CPU_KILL_ME - CPU has invoked cpu_ops-&gt;die, indicating the
master CPU to synchronise by issuing a cpu_ops-&gt;cpu_kill.

 2. CPU_STUCK_IN_KERNEL - CPU couldn't invoke die(), instead is
looping in the kernel. This information could be used by say,
kexec to check if it is really safe to do a kexec reboot.

 3. CPU_PANIC_KERNEL - CPU detected some serious issues which
requires kernel to crash immediately. The secondary CPU cannot
call panic() until it has initialised the GIC. This flag can
be used to instruct the master to do so.
