The kernel does not use any keys besides IA so we don't need to
install IB/DA/DB/GA on kernel exit if we arrange to install them
on task switch instead, which we can expect to happen an order of
magnitude less often.

Furthermore we can avoid installing the user IA in the case where the
user task has IA disabled and just leave the kernel IA installed. This
also lets us avoid needing to install IA on kernel entry.

On an Apple M1 under a hypervisor, the overhead of kernel entry/exit
has been measured to be reduced by 15.6ns in the case where IA is
enabled, and 31.9ns in the case where IA is disabled.

<id>urn:sha1:201698626fbca1cf1a3b686ba14cf2a056500716</id>
<content type='text'>
This change introduces a prctl that allows the user program to control
which PAC keys are enabled in a particular task. The main reason
why this is useful is to enable a userspace ABI that uses PAC to
sign and authenticate function pointers and other pointers exposed
outside of the function, while still allowing binaries conforming
to the ABI to interoperate with legacy binaries that do not sign or
authenticate pointers.

The idea is that a dynamic loader or early startup code would issue
this prctl very early after establishing that a process may load legacy
binaries, but before executing any PAC instructions.

This change adds a small amount of overhead to kernel entry and exit
due to additional required instruction sequences.

On a DragonBoard 845c (Cortex-A75) with the powersave governor, the
overhead of similar instruction sequences was measured as 4.9ns when
simulating the common case where IA is left enabled, or 43.7ns when
simulating the uncommon case where IA is disabled. These numbers can
be seen as the worst case scenario, since in more realistic scenarios
a better performing governor would be used and a newer chip would be
used that would support PAC unlike Cortex-A75 and would be expected
to be faster than Cortex-A75.

On an Apple M1 under a hypervisor, the overhead of the entry/exit
instruction sequences introduced by this patch was measured as 0.3ns
in the case where IA is left enabled, and 33.0ns in the case where
IA is disabled.

<title>arm64: fpsimd: run kernel mode NEON with softirqs disabled</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=13150149aa6ded1e6bbe0025beac6e12604dd87c'/>
<id>urn:sha1:13150149aa6ded1e6bbe0025beac6e12604dd87c</id>
<content type='text'>
Kernel mode NEON can be used in task or softirq context, but only in
a non-nesting manner, i.e., softirq context is only permitted if the
interrupt was not taken at a point where the kernel was using the NEON
in task context.

This means all users of kernel mode NEON have to be aware of this
limitation, and either need to provide scalar fallbacks that may be much
slower (up to 20x for AES instructions) and potentially less safe, or
use an asynchronous interface that defers processing to a later time
when the NEON is guaranteed to be available.

Given that grabbing and releasing the NEON is cheap, we can relax this
restriction, by increasing the granularity of kernel mode NEON code, and
always disabling softirq processing while the NEON is being used in task
context.

kvm_nvhe_init_params to prepare the ground for enabling it in later
patches.

S_FRAME_SIZE is the size of the pt_regs structure, no longer the size of
the kernel stack frame, the name is misleading. In keeping with arm32,
rename S_FRAME_SIZE to PT_REGS_SIZE.

<title>arm64: mte: switch GCR_EL1 in kernel entry and exit</title>

<content type='text'>
When MTE is present, the GCR_EL1 register contains the tags mask that
allows to exclude tags from the random generation via the IRG instruction.

With the introduction of the new Tag-Based KASAN API that provides a
mechanism to reserve tags for special reasons, the MTE implementation has
to make sure that the GCR_EL1 setting for the kernel does not affect the
userspace processes and viceversa.

Save and restore the kernel/user mask in GCR_EL1 in kernel entry and exit.
