Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
 "The highlights are support for Arm's "Permission Overlay Extension"
  using memory protection keys, support for running as a protected guest
  on Android as well as perf support for a bunch of new interconnect
  PMUs.

  Summary:

  ACPI:
   - Enable PMCG erratum workaround for HiSilicon HIP10 and 11
     platforms.
   - Ensure arm64-specific IORT header is covered by MAINTAINERS.

  CPU Errata:
   - Enable workaround for hardware access/dirty issue on Ampere-1A
     cores.

  Memory management:
   - Define PHYSMEM_END to fix a crash in the amdgpu driver.
   - Avoid tripping over invalid kernel mappings on the kexec() path.
   - Userspace support for the Permission Overlay Extension (POE) using
     protection keys.

  Perf and PMUs:
   - Add support for the "fixed instruction counter" extension in the
     CPU PMU architecture.
   - Extend and fix the event encodings for Apple's M1 CPU PMU.
   - Allow LSM hooks to decide on SPE permissions for physical
     profiling.
   - Add support for the CMN S3 and NI-700 PMUs.

  Confidential Computing:
   - Add support for booting an arm64 kernel as a protected guest under
     Android's "Protected KVM" (pKVM) hypervisor.

  Selftests:
   - Fix vector length issues in the SVE/SME sigreturn tests
   - Fix build warning in the ptrace tests.

  Timers:
   - Add support for PR_{G,S}ET_TSC so that 'rr' can deal with
     non-determinism arising from the architected counter.

  Miscellaneous:
   - Rework our IPI-based CPU stopping code to try NMIs if regular IPIs
     don't succeed.
   - Minor fixes and cleanups"

<title>arm64: smp: smp_send_stop() and crash_smp_send_stop() should try non-NMI first</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fdfa588124b6356cd08e5d3f0c3643c4ec3d6887</id>
<content type='text'>
When testing hard lockup handling on my sc7180-trogdor-lazor device
with pseudo-NMI enabled, with serial console enabled and with kgdb
disabled, I found that the stack crawls printed to the serial console
ended up as a jumbled mess. After rebooting, the pstore-based console
looked fine though. Also, enabling kgdb to trap the panic made the
console look fine and avoided the mess.

After a bit of tracking down, I came to the conclusion that this was
what was happening:
1. The panic path was stopping all other CPUs with
   panic_other_cpus_shutdown().
2. At least one of those other CPUs was in the middle of printing to
   the serial console and holding the console port's lock, which is
   grabbed with "irqsave". ...but since we were stopping with an NMI
   we didn't care about the "irqsave" and interrupted anyway.
3. Since we stopped the CPU while it was holding the lock it would
   never release it.
4. All future calls to output to the console would end up failing to
   get the lock in qcom_geni_serial_console_write(). This isn't
   _totally_ unexpected at panic time but it's a code path that's not
   well tested, hard to get right, and apparently doesn't work
   terribly well on the Qualcomm geni serial driver.

The Qualcomm geni serial driver was fixed to be a bit better in commit
9e957a155005 ("serial: qcom-geni: Don't cancel/abort if we can't get
the port lock") but it's nice not to get into this situation in the
first place.

Taking a page from what x86 appears to do in native_stop_other_cpus(),
do this:
1. First, try to stop other CPUs with a normal IPI and wait a second.
   This gives them a chance to leave critical sections.
2. If CPUs fail to stop then retry with an NMI, but give a much lower
   timeout since there's no good reason for a CPU not to react quickly
   to a NMI.

This works well and avoids the corrupted console and (presumably)
could help avoid other similar issues.

In order to do this, we need to do a little re-organization of our
IPIs since we don't have any more free IDs. Do what was suggested in
previous conversations and combine "stop" and "crash stop". That frees
up an IPI so now we can have a "stop" and "stop NMI".

In order to do this we also need a slight change in the way we keep
track of which CPUs still need to be stopped. We need to know
specifically which CPUs haven't stopped yet when we fall back to NMI
but in the "crash stop" case the "cpu_online_mask" isn't updated as
CPUs go down. This is why that code path had an atomic of the number
of CPUs left. Solve this by also updating the "cpu_online_mask" for
crash stops.

All of the above lets us combine the logic for "stop" and "crash stop"
code, which appeared to have a bunch of arbitrary implementation
differences.

Aside from the above change where we try a normal IPI and then an NMI,
the combined function has a few subtle differences:
* In the normal smp_send_stop(), if we fail to stop one or more CPUs
  then we won't include the current CPU (the one running
  smp_send_stop()) in the error message.
* In crash_smp_send_stop(), if we fail to stop some CPUs we'll print
  the CPUs that we failed to stop instead of printing all _but_ the
  current running CPU.
* In crash_smp_send_stop(), we will now only print "SMP: stopping
  secondary CPUs" if (system_state &lt;= SYSTEM_RUNNING).

Currently, kasan_init_sw_tags() is called before setup_per_cpu_areas(),
so per_cpu(prng_state, cpu) accesses the same address regardless of the
value of "cpu", and the same seed value gets copied to the percpu area
for every CPU. Fix this by moving the call to smp_prepare_boot_cpu(),
which is the first architecture hook after setup_per_cpu_areas().

commit 83cfac95c018 ("genirq: Allow interrupts to be excluded from
/proc/interrupts") is to avoid IPIs appear twice in /proc/interrupts.
But the commit 331a1b3a836c ("arm64: smp: Add arch support for backtrace
using pseudo-NMI") and commit 2f5cd0c7ffde("arm64: kgdb: Implement

KGDB_ROUNDUP IPIs "IRQ_HIDDEN" flag but not show them in
arch_show_interrupts(), which cause the interrupt kstat_irqs accounting
is missing in display.

Before this patch, CPU_BACKTRACE and KGDB_ROUNDUP IPIs are missing:

<content type='text'>
The ARM64 architecture does not support physical CPU HP today.
To avoid any possibility of a bug against such an architecture if defined
in future, check for the physical CPU HP case (not present) and
return an error on any such attempt.

On ARM64 virtual CPU Hotplug relies on the status value that can be
queried via the AML method _STA for the CPU object.

There are two conditions in which the CPU can be registered.
1) ACPI disabled.
2) ACPI enabled and the acpi_handle is available.
   _STA evaluates to the CPU is both enabled and present.
   (Note that in absence of the _STA method they are always in this
    state).

If neither of these conditions is met the CPU is not 'yet' ready
to be used and -EPROBE_DEFER is returned.

Success occurs in the early attempt to register the CPUs if we
are booting with DT (no concept yet of vCPU HP) if not it succeeds
for already enabled CPUs when the ACPI Processor driver attaches to
them.  Finally it may succeed via the CPU Hotplug code indicating that
the CPU is now enabled.

For ACPI if CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR the only path to get to
arch_register_cpu() with that handle set is via
acpi_processor_hot_add_init() which is only called from an ACPI bus
scan in which _STA has already been queried there is no need to
repeat it here. Add a comment to remind us of this in the future.

<content type='text'>
When a CPU is marked as disabled, but online capable in the MADT, PSCI
applies some firmware policy to control when it can be brought online.
PSCI returns DENIED to a CPU_ON request if this is not currently
permitted. The OS can learn the current policy from the _STA enabled bit.

Handle the PSCI DENIED return code gracefully instead of printing an
error.

Note the alternatives to the PSCI cpu_boot() callback do not
return -EPERM so the change in smp.c has no affect.

<content type='text'>
To support virtual CPU hotplug, ACPI has added an 'online capable' bit
to the MADT GICC entries. This indicates a disabled CPU entry may not
be possible to online via PSCI until firmware has set enabled bit in
_STA.

This means that a "usable" GIC redistributor is one that is marked as
either enabled, or online capable. The meaning of the
acpi_gicc_is_usable() would become less clear than just checking the
pair of flags at call sites. As such, drop that helper function.
The test in gic_acpi_match_gicc() remains as testing just the
enabled bit so the count of enabled distributors is correct.

What about the redistributor in the GICC entry? ACPI doesn't want to say.
Assume the worst: When a redistributor is described in the GICC entry,
but the entry is marked as disabled at boot, assume the redistributor
is inaccessible.

The GICv3 driver doesn't support late online of redistributors, so this
means the corresponding CPU can't be brought online either.
Rather than modifying cpu masks that may already have been used,
register a new cpuhp callback to fail this case. This must run earlier
than the main gic_starting_cpu() so that this case can be rejected
before the section of cpuhp that runs on the CPU that is coming up as
that is not allowed to fail. This solution keeps the handling of this
broken firmware corner case local to the GIC driver. As precise ordering
of this callback doesn't need to be controlled as long as it is
in that initial prepare phase, use CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN.

Systems that want CPU hotplug in a VM can ensure their redistributors
are always-on, and describe them that way with a GICR entry in the MADT.

<title>arm64: implement raw_smp_processor_id() using thread_info</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=bf0baa5bbdc9b99ea081d360f245e5f96e835612'/>
<id>urn:sha1:bf0baa5bbdc9b99ea081d360f245e5f96e835612</id>
<content type='text'>
Historically, arm64 implemented raw_smp_processor_id() as a read of
current_thread_info()-&gt;cpu. This changed when arm64 moved thread_info into
task struct, as at the time CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK made core code use
thread_struct::cpu for the cpu number, and due to header dependencies
prevented using this in raw_smp_processor_id(). As a workaround, we moved to
using a percpu variable in commit:

  57c82954e77fa12c ("arm64: make cpu number a percpu variable")

Since then, thread_info::cpu was reintroduced, and core code was made to use
this in commits:

  001430c1910df65a ("arm64: add CPU field to struct thread_info")
  bcf9033e5449bdca ("sched: move CPU field back into thread_info if THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK=y")

Consequently it is possible to use current_thread_info()-&gt;cpu again.

This decreases the number of emitted instructions like in the following
example:

Dump of assembler code for function bpf_get_smp_processor_id:
   0xffff8000802cd608 &lt;+0&gt;:     nop
   0xffff8000802cd60c &lt;+4&gt;:     nop
   0xffff8000802cd610 &lt;+8&gt;:     adrp    x0, 0xffff800082138000
   0xffff8000802cd614 &lt;+12&gt;:    mrs     x1, tpidr_el1
   0xffff8000802cd618 &lt;+16&gt;:    add     x0, x0, #0x8
   0xffff8000802cd61c &lt;+20&gt;:    ldrsw   x0, [x0, x1]
   0xffff8000802cd620 &lt;+24&gt;:    ret

After this patch:

Dump of assembler code for function bpf_get_smp_processor_id:
   0xffff8000802c9130 &lt;+0&gt;:     nop
   0xffff8000802c9134 &lt;+4&gt;:     nop
   0xffff8000802c9138 &lt;+8&gt;:     mrs     x0, sp_el0
   0xffff8000802c913c &lt;+12&gt;:    ldr     w0, [x0, #24]
   0xffff8000802c9140 &lt;+16&gt;:    ret

A microbenchmark[1] was built to measure the performance improvement
provided by this change. It calls the following function given number of
times and finds the runtime overhead:

static noinline int get_cpu_id(void)
{
	return smp_processor_id();
}

Run the benchmark like:
 modprobe smp_processor_id nr_function_calls=1000000000

      +--------------------------+------------------------+
      |        | Number of Calls |    Time taken          |
      +--------+-----------------+------------------------+
      | Before |   1000000000    |   1602888401ns         |
      +--------+-----------------+------------------------+
      | After  |   1000000000    |   1206212658ns         |
      +--------+-----------------+------------------------+
      |  Difference (decrease)   |   396675743ns (24.74%) |
      +---------------------------------------------------+

Remove the percpu variable cpu_number as it is used only in
set_smp_ipi_range() as a dummy variable to be passed to ipi_handler().
Use irq_stat in place of cpu_number here like arm32.

<title>arm64: defer clearing DAIF.D</title>

<content type='text'>
For historical reasons we unmask debug exceptions in __cpu_setup(), but
it's not necessary to unmask debug exceptions this early in the
boot/idle entry paths. It would be better to unmask debug exceptions
later in C code as this simplifies the current code and will make it
easier to rework exception masking logic to handle non-DAIF bits in
future (e.g. PSTATE.{ALLINT,PM}).

We started clearing DAIF.D in __cpu_setup() in commit:

  2ce39ad15182604b ("arm64: debug: unmask PSTATE.D earlier")

At the time, we needed to ensure that DAIF.D was clear on the primary
CPU before scheduling and preemption were possible, and chose to do this
in __cpu_setup() so that this occurred in the same place for primary and
secondary CPUs. As we cannot handle debug exceptions this early, we
placed an ISB between initializing MDSCR_EL1 and clearing DAIF.D so that
no exceptions should be triggered.

Subsequently we rewrote the return-from-{idle,suspend} paths to use
__cpu_setup() in commit:

  cabe1c81ea5be983 ("arm64: Change cpu_resume() to enable mmu early then access sleep_sp by va")

... which allowed for earlier use of the MMU and had the desirable
property of using the same code to reset the CPU in the cold and warm
boot paths. This introduced a bug: DAIF.D was clear while
cpu_do_resume() restored MDSCR_EL1 and other control registers (e.g.
breakpoint/watchpoint control/value registers), and so we could
unexpectedly take debug exceptions.

We fixed that in commit:

  744c6c37cc18705d ("arm64: kernel: Fix unmasked debug exceptions when restoring mdscr_el1")

... by having cpu_do_resume() use the `disable_dbg` macro to set DAIF.D
before restoring MDSCR_EL1 and other control registers. This relies on
DAIF.D being subsequently cleared again in cpu_resume().

Subsequently we reworked DAIF masking in commit:

  0fbeb318754860b3 ("arm64: explicitly mask all exceptions")

... where we began enforcing a policy that DAIF.D being set implies all
other DAIF bits are set, and so e.g. we cannot take an IRQ while DAIF.D
is set. As part of this the use of `disable_dbg` in cpu_resume() was
replaced with `disable_daif` for consistency with the rest of the
kernel.

These days, there's no need to clear DAIF.D early within __cpu_setup():

* setup_arch() clears DAIF.DA before scheduling and preemption are
  possible on the primary CPU, avoiding the problem we we originally
  trying to work around.

  Note: DAIF.IF get cleared later when interrupts are enabled for the
  first time.

* secondary_start_kernel() clears all DAIF bits before scheduling and
  preemption are possible on secondary CPUs.

  Note: with pseudo-NMI, the PMR is initialized here before any DAIF
  bits are cleared. Similar will be necessary for the architectural NMI.

* cpu_suspend() restores all DAIF bits when returning from idle,
  ensuring that we don't unexpectedly leave DAIF.D clear or set.

  Note: with pseudo-NMI, the PMR is initialized here before DAIF is
  cleared. Similar will be necessary for the architectural NMI.

This patch removes the unmasking of debug exceptions from __cpu_setup(),
relying on the above locations to initialize DAIF. This allows some
other cleanups:

* It is no longer necessary for cpu_resume() to explicitly mask debug
  (or other) exceptions, as it is always called with all DAIF bits set.
  Thus we drop the use of `disable_daif`.

* The `enable_dbg` macro is no longer used, and so is dropped.

* It is no longer necessary to have an ISB immediately after
  initializing MDSCR_EL1 in __cpu_setup(), and we can revert to relying
  on the context synchronization that occurs when the MMU is enabled
  between __cpu_setup() and code which clears DAIF.D

Comments are added to setup_arch() and secondary_start_kernel() to
explain the initial unmasking of the DAIF bits.
