Currently core file of aarch32 process prstatus note has empty
registers set. As result aarch32 core files create by V8 kernel are
not very useful.
It happens because compat_gpr_get and compat_gpr_set functions can
copy registers values to/from either kbuf or ubuf. ELF core file
collection function fill_thread_core_info calls compat_gpr_get
with kbuf set and ubuf set to 0. But current compat_gpr_get and
compat_gpr_set function handle copy to/from only ubuf case.
Fix is to handle kbuf and ubuf as two separate cases in similar
way as other functions like user_regset_copyout, user_regset_copyin do.

Our compat PTRACE_POKEUSR implementation simply passes the user data to
regset_copy_from_user after some simple range checking. Unfortunately,
the data in question has already been copied to the kernel stack by this
point, so the subsequent access_ok check fails and the ptrace request
returns -EFAULT. This causes problems tracing fork() with older versions
of strace.
This patch briefly changes the fs to KERNEL_DS, so that the access_ok
check passes even with a kernel address.

On platforms implementing CPU power management, the CPUidle subsystem
can allow CPUs to enter idle states where local timers logic is lost on power
down. To keep the software timers functional the kernel relies on an
always-on broadcast timer to be present in the platform to relay the
interrupt signalling the timer expiries.
For platforms implementing CPU core gating that do not implement an always-on
HW timer or implement it in a broken way, this patch adds code to initialize
the kernel hrtimer based clock event device upon boot (which can be chosen as
tick broadcast device by the kernel).
It relies on a dynamically chosen CPU to be always powered-up. This CPU then
relays the timer interrupt to CPUs in deep-idle states through its HW local
timer device.
Having a CPU always-on has implications on power management platform
capabilities and makes CPUidle suboptimal, since at least a CPU is kept
always in a shallow idle state by the kernel to relay timer interrupts,
but at least leaves the kernel with a functional system with some working
power management capabilities.
The hrtimer based clock event device is unconditionally registered, but
has the lowest possible rating such that any broadcast-capable HW clock
event device present will be chosen in preference as the tick broadcast
device.

ie. sys_enter_*/sys_exit_*, if CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS is enabled.
Those events appear and can be controlled under
${sysfs}/tracing/events/syscalls/
Please note that we can't trace compat system calls here because
AArch32 mode does not share the same syscall table with AArch64.

This patch allows "dynamic ftrace" if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE is enabled.
Here we can turn on and off tracing dynamically per-function base.
On arm64, this is done by patching single branch instruction to _mcount()
inserted by gcc -pg option. The branch is replaced to NOP initially at
kernel start up, and later on, NOP to branch to ftrace_caller() when
enabled or branch to NOP when disabled.
Please note that ftrace_caller() is a counterpart of _mcount() in case of
'static' ftrace.

This patch implements arm64 specific part to support function tracers,
such as function (CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER), function_graph
(CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER) and function profiler
(CONFIG_FUNCTION_PROFILER).
With 'function' tracer, all the functions in the kernel are traced with
timestamps in ${sysfs}/tracing/trace. If function_graph tracer is
specified, call graph is generated.
The kernel must be compiled with -pg option so that _mcount() is inserted
at the beginning of functions. This function is called on every function's
entry as long as tracing is enabled.
In addition, function_graph tracer also needs to be able to probe function's
exit. ftrace_graph_caller() & return_to_handler do this by faking link
register's value to intercept function's return path.

Change the arm64 linker script ENTRY() command to define _text as the
kernel entry point.
The arm64 boot protocol specifies that the kernel must be entered at the
beginning of the kernel image. The existing ENTRY() command defined the
symbol stext as the entry point, which emitted an incorrect entry point,
but would not cause a runtime error because the existing entry code
immediately jumps to stext.

spin_lock(my_lock)
smp_send_stop()
<send IPI> handle_IPI()
disable_preemption/irqs

<PREEMPT>
spin_lock(my_lock) <--- Waits forever
We shouldn't attempt to run any other tasks after we send a stop
IPI to a CPU so disable preemption so that this task runs to
completion. We use local_irq_disable() here for cross-arch

This patch ports most of commit 19ab428f4b79 "ARM: 7759/1: decouple CPU
offlining from reboot/shutdown" by Stephen Warren from arch/arm to
arch/arm64.
machine_shutdown() is a hook for kexec. Add a comment saying so, since
it isn't obvious from the function name.
Halt, power-off, and restart have different requirements re: stopping
secondary CPUs than kexec has. The former simply require the secondary
CPUs to be quiesced somehow, whereas kexec requires them to be
completely non-operational, so that no matter where the kexec target
images are written in RAM, they won't influence operation of the
secondary CPUS,which could happen if the CPUs were still executing some
kind of pin loop. To this end, modify machine_halt, power_off, and
restart to call smp_send_stop() directly, rather than calling
machine_shutdown().
In machine_shutdown(), replace the call to smp_send_stop() with a call
to disable_nonboot_cpus(). This completely disables all but one CPU,
thus satisfying the kexec requirements a couple paragraphs above.

Support for arch_irq_work_raise() was missing from
arm64 (a prerequisite for FULL_NOHZ).
This patch is based on the arm32 patch ARM 7872/1.
commit bf18525fd793101df42a1344ecc48b49b62e48c9
Author: Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org>
Date: Tue Oct 29 20:32:56 2013 +0100
ARM: 7872/1: Support arch_irq_work_raise() via self IPIs
By default, IRQ work is run from the tick interrupt (see
irq_work_run() in update_process_times()). When we're in full
NOHZ mode, restarting the tick requires the use of IRQ work and
if the only place we run IRQ work is in the tick interrupt we
have an unbreakable cycle. Implement arch_irq_work_raise() via
self IPIs to break this cycle and get the tick started again.
Note that we implement this via IPIs which are only available on
SMP builds. This shouldn't be a problem because full NOHZ is only
supported on SMP builds anyway.

As a legacy of the way 32 bit ARM did things the topology code uses a null
topology map by default and then overwrites it by mapping cores with no
information to a cluster by themselves later. In order to make it simpler
to reset things as part of recovering from parse failures in firmware
information directly set this configuration on init. A core will always be

Some kernel files may include both linux/compat.h and asm/compat.h directly
or indirectly. Since both header files contain is_compat_task() under
!CONFIG_COMPAT, compiling them with !CONFIG_COMPAT will eventually fail.
Such files include kernel/auditsc.c, kernel/seccomp.c and init/do_mountfs.c
(do_mountfs.c may read asm/compat.h via asm/ftrace.h once ftrace is
implemented).
So this patch proactively
1) removes is_compat_task() under !CONFIG_COMPAT from asm/compat.h
2) replaces asm/compat.h to linux/compat.h in kernel/*.c,
but asm/compat.h is still necessary in ptrace.c and process.c because
they use is_compat_thread().

Since mdscr_el1 is part of the debug register group, it is highly likely
to be trapped by a hypervisor to prevent virtual machines from debugging
(buggering?) each other. Unfortunately, this absolutely destroys our
performance, since we access the register on many of our low-level
fault handling paths to keep track of the various debug state machines.
This patch removes our dependency on mdscr_el1 in the case that debugging
is not being used. More specifically we:
- Use TIF_SINGLESTEP to indicate that a task is stepping at EL0 and
avoid disabling step in the MDSCR when we don't need to.
MDSCR_EL1.SS handling is moved to kernel_entry, when trapping from
userspace.
- Ensure debug exceptions are re-enabled on *all* exception entry
paths, even the debug exception handling path (where we re-enable
exceptions after invoking the handler). Since we can now rely on
MDSCR_EL1.SS being cleared by the entry code, exception handlers can
usually enable debug immediately before enabling interrupts.
- Remove all debug exception unmasking from ret_to_user and
el1_preempt, since we will never get here with debug exceptions
masked.
This results in a slight change to kernel debug behaviour, where we now
step into interrupt handlers and data aborts from EL1 when debugging the
kernel, which is actually a useful thing to do. A side-effect of this is
that it *does* potentially prevent stepping off {break,watch}points when
there is a high-frequency interrupt source (e.g. a timer), so a debugger
would need to use either breakpoints or manually disable interrupts to
get around this issue.
With this patch applied, guest performance is restored under KVM when
debug register accesses are trapped (and we get a measurable performance
increase on the host on Cortex-A57 too).

Commit 01f8fa4f01d8("genirq: Allow forcing cpu affinity of interrupts")
enabled the forced irq_set_affinity which previously refused to route an
interrupt to an offline cpu.
Commit ffde1de64012("irqchip: Gic: Support forced affinity setting")
implements this force logic and disables the cpu online check for GIC
interrupt controller.
When __cpu_disable calls migrate_irqs, it disables the current cpu in
cpu_online_mask and uses forced irq_set_affinity to migrate the IRQs
away from the cpu but passes affinity mask with the cpu being offlined
also included in it.
When calling irq_set_affinity with force == true in a cpu hotplug path,
the caller must ensure that the cpu being offlined is not present in the
affinity mask or it may be selected as the target CPU, leading to the
interrupt not being migrated.
This patch uses cpu_online_mask when using forced irq_set_affinity so
that the IRQs are properly migrated away.

set_cpu_boot_mode_flag is used to identify which exception levels are
encountered across the system by CPUs trying to enter the kernel. The
basic algorithm is: if a CPU is booting at EL2, it will set a flag at
an offset of #4 from __boot_cpu_mode, a cacheline-aligned variable.
Otherwise, a flag is set at an offset of zero into the same cacheline.
This enables us to check that all CPUs booted at the same exception
level.
This cacheline is written with the stage-1 MMU off (that is, via a
strongly-ordered mapping) and will bypass any clean lines in the cache,
leading to potential coherence problems when the variable is later
checked via the normal, cacheable mapping of the kernel image.
This patch reworks the broken flushing code so that we:
(1) Use a DMB to order the strongly-ordered write of the cacheline
against the subsequent cache-maintenance operation (by-VA
operations only hazard against normal, cacheable accesses).
(2) Use a single dc ivac instruction to invalidate any clean lines
containing a stale copy of the line after it has been updated.

When calling our low-level barrier macros directly, we can often suffice
with more relaxed behaviour than the default "all accesses, full system"
option.
This patch updates the users of dsb() to specify the option which they
actually require.

The primary aim of this patchset is to remove the pgprot_default and
prot_sect_default global variables and rely strictly on predefined
values. The original goal was to be able to run SMP kernels on UP
hardware by not setting the Shareability bit. However, it is unlikely to
see UP ARMv8 hardware and even if we do, the Shareability bit is no
longer assumed to disable cacheable accesses.
A side effect is that the device mappings now have the Shareability
attribute set. The hardware, however, should ignore it since Device
accesses are always Outer Shareable.
Following the removal of the two global variables, there is some PROT_*
macro reshuffling and cleanup, including the __PAGE_* macros (replaced
by PAGE_*).

This information is useful for instruction emulators to detect
read/write and access size without having to decode the faulting
instruction. The current patch exports it via sigcontext (struct
esr_context) and is only valid for SIGSEGV and SIGBUS.

For AArch32, bit 11 (WnR) of the FSR/ESR register is set when the fault
was caused by a write access and applications like Qemu rely on such
information being provided in sigcontext. This patch introduces the
ESR_EL1 tracking for the arm64 kernel faults and sets bit 11 accordingly
in compat sigcontext.

The hardware provides the maximum cache line size in the system via the
CTR_EL0.CWG bits. This patch implements the cache_line_size() function
to read such information, together with a sanity check if the statically
defined L1_CACHE_BYTES is smaller than the hardware value.

This patch modifies kernel_neon_begin() and kernel_neon_end(), so
they may be called from any context. To address the case where only
a couple of registers are needed, kernel_neon_begin_partial(u32) is
introduced which takes as a parameter the number of bottom 'n' NEON
q-registers required. To mark the end of such a partial section, the
regular kernel_neon_end() should be used.

If a task gets scheduled out and back in again and nothing has touched
its FPSIMD state in the mean time, there is really no reason to reload
it from memory. Similarly, repeated calls to kernel_neon_begin() and
kernel_neon_end() will preserve and restore the FPSIMD state every time.
This patch defers the FPSIMD state restore to the last possible moment,
i.e., right before the task returns to userland. If a task does not return to
userland at all (for any reason), the existing FPSIMD state is preserved
and may be reused by the owning task if it gets scheduled in again on the
same CPU.
This patch adds two more functions to abstract away from straight FPSIMD
register file saves and restores:
- fpsimd_restore_current_state -> ensure current's FPSIMD state is loaded
- fpsimd_flush_task_state -> invalidate live copies of a task's FPSIMD state

There are two tacit assumptions in the FPSIMD handling code that will no longer
hold after the next patch that optimizes away some FPSIMD state restores:
. the FPSIMD registers of this CPU contain the userland FPSIMD state of
task 'current';
. when switching to a task, its FPSIMD state will always be restored from
memory.
This patch adds the following functions to abstract away from straight FPSIMD
register file saves and restores:
- fpsimd_preserve_current_state -> ensure current's FPSIMD state is saved
- fpsimd_update_current_state -> replace current's FPSIMD state
Where necessary, the signal handling and fork code are updated to use the above
wrappers instead of poking into the FPSIMD registers directly.

Recently, the default DMA ops have been changed to non-coherent for
alignment with 32-bit ARM platforms (and DT files). This patch adds bus
notifiers to be able to set the coherent DMA ops (with no cache
maintenance) for devices explicitly marked as coherent via the
"dma-coherent" DT property.

Commit d57c33c5daa4 (add generic fixmap.h) added (among other
similar things) set_fixmap_io to deal with early ioremap of devices.
More recently, commit bf4b558eba92 (arm64: add early_ioremap support)
converted the arm64 earlyprintk to use set_fixmap_io. A side effect of
this conversion is that my virtual machines have stopped booting when
I pass "earlyprintk=uart8250-8bit,0x3f8" to the guest kernel.
Turns out that the new earlyprintk code doesn't care at all about
sub-page offsets, and just assumes that the earlyprintk device will
be page-aligned. Obviously, that doesn't play well with the above example.
Further investigation shows that set_fixmap_io uses __set_fixmap instead
of __set_fixmap_offset. A fix is to introduce a set_fixmap_offset_io that
uses the latter, and to remove the superflous call to fix_to_virt
(which only returns the value that set_fixmap_io has already given us).
With this applied, my VMs are back in business. Tested on a Cortex-A57
platform with kvmtool as platform emulation.

This patch adds EFI runtime support for arm64. This runtime support allows
the kernel to access various EFI runtime services provided by EFI firmware.
Things like reboot, real time clock, EFI boot variables, and others.
This functionality is supported for little endian kernels only. The UEFI
firmware standard specifies that the firmware be little endian. A future
patch is expected to add support for big endian kernels running with
little endian firmware.

Sending a SIGTRAP to a user task after execution of a BRK instruction at
EL0 is fundamental to the way in which software breakpoints work and
doesn't deserve a warning to be logged in dmesg. Whilst the warning can
be justified from EL1, do_debug_exception will already do the right thing,
so simply remove the code altogether.
