locking/static_keys: Add a new static_key interface

2019-05-22T22:15:05+00:00

commit 11276d5306b8e5b438a36bbff855fe792d7eaa61 upstream.

There are various problems and short-comings with the current
static_key interface:

 - static_key_{true,false}() read like a branch depending on the key
   value, instead of the actual likely/unlikely branch depending on
   init value.

 - static_key_{true,false}() are, as stated above, tied to the
   static_key init values STATIC_KEY_INIT_{TRUE,FALSE}.

 - we're limited to the 2 (out of 4) possible options that compile to
   a default NOP because that's what our arch_static_branch() assembly
   emits.

So provide a new static_key interface:

  DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_TRUE(name);
  DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE(name);

Which define a key of different types with an initial true/false
value.

Then allow:

   static_branch_likely()
   static_branch_unlikely()

to take a key of either type and emit the right instruction for the
case.

This means adding a second arch_static_branch_jump() assembly helper
which emits a JMP per default.

In order to determine the right instruction for the right state,
encode the branch type in the LSB of jump_entry::key.

This is the final step in removing the naming confusion that has led to
a stream of avoidable bugs such as:

  a833581e372a ("x86, perf: Fix static_key bug in load_mm_cr4()")

... but it also allows new static key combinations that will give us
performance enhancements in the subsequent patches.

jump_label: Allow asm/jump_label.h to be included in assembly

2019-05-22T22:15:02+00:00

commit 55dd0df781e58ec23d218376ea4a676e7362a98c upstream.

Wrap asm/jump_label.h for all archs with #ifndef __ASSEMBLY__.
Since these are kernel only headers, we don't need #ifdef
__KERNEL__ so can simplify things a bit.

If an architecture wants to use jump labels in assembly, it
will still need to define a macro to create the __jump_table
entries (see ARCH_STATIC_BRANCH in the powerpc asm/jump_label.h
for an example).

ARM: fix put_user() for gcc-8

2019-02-11T17:53:14+00:00

Building kernels before linux-4.7 with gcc-8 results in many build failures
when gcc triggers a check that was meant to catch broken compilers:

/tmp/ccCGMQmS.s:648: Error: .err encountered

According to the discussion in the gcc bugzilla, a local "register
asm()" variable is still supposed to be the correct way to force an
inline assembly to use a particular register, but marking it 'const'
lets the compiler do optimizations that break that, i.e the compiler is
free to treat the variable as either 'const' or 'register' in that case.

Upstream commit 9f73bd8bb445 ("ARM: uaccess: remove put_user() code
duplication") fixed this problem in linux-4.8 as part of a larger change,
but seems a little too big to be backported to 4.4.

Let's take the simplest fix and change only the one broken line in the
same way as newer kernels.

ARM: 8764/1: kgdb: fix NUMREGBYTES so that gdb_regs[] is the correct size

2018-11-20T18:04:58+00:00

commit 76ed0b803a2ab793a1b27d1dfe0de7955282cd34 upstream.

NUMREGBYTES (which is used as the size for gdb_regs[]) is incorrectly
based on DBG_MAX_REG_NUM instead of GDB_MAX_REGS. DBG_MAX_REG_NUM
is the number of total registers, while GDB_MAX_REGS is the number
of 'unsigned longs' it takes to serialize those registers. Since
FP registers require 3 'unsigned longs' each, DBG_MAX_REG_NUM is
smaller than GDB_MAX_REGS.

This causes GDB 8.0 give the following error on connect:
"Truncated register 19 in remote 'g' packet"

This also causes the register serialization/deserialization logic
to overflow gdb_regs[], overwriting whatever follows.

arm: KVM: Fix VTTBR_BADDR_MASK BUG_ON off-by-one

2018-03-03T15:51:39+00:00

commit 5553b142be11e794ebc0805950b2e8313f93d718 upstream.

VTTBR_BADDR_MASK is used to sanity check the size and alignment of the
VTTBR address. It seems to currently be off by one, thereby only
allowing up to 39-bit addresses (instead of 40-bit) and also
insufficiently checking the alignment. This patch fixes it.

This patch is the 32bit pendent of Kristina's arm64 fix, and
she deserves the actual kudos for pinpointing that one.

ARM: Hide finish_arch_post_lock_switch() from modules

2018-01-09T00:35:10+00:00

commit ef0491ea17f8019821c7e9c8e801184ecf17f85a upstream.

The introduction of switch_mm_irqs_off() brought back an old bug
regarding the use of preempt_enable_no_resched:

As part of:

  62b94a08da1b ("sched/preempt: Take away preempt_enable_no_resched() from modules")

the definition of preempt_enable_no_resched() is only available in
built-in code, not in loadable modules, so we can't generally use
it from header files.

However, the ARM version of finish_arch_post_lock_switch()
calls preempt_enable_no_resched() and is defined as a static
inline function in asm/mmu_context.h. This in turn means we cannot
include asm/mmu_context.h from modules.

With today's tip tree, asm/mmu_context.h gets included from
linux/mmu_context.h, which is normally the exact pattern one would
expect, but unfortunately, linux/mmu_context.h can be included from
the vhost driver that is a loadable module, now causing this compile
time error with modular configs:

  In file included from ../include/linux/mmu_context.h:4:0,
                   from ../drivers/vhost/vhost.c:18:
  ../arch/arm/include/asm/mmu_context.h: In function 'finish_arch_post_lock_switch':
  ../arch/arm/include/asm/mmu_context.h:88:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'preempt_enable_no_resched' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
     preempt_enable_no_resched();

Andy already tried to fix the bug by including linux/preempt.h
from asm/mmu_context.h, but that didn't help. Arnd suggested reordering
the header files, which wasn't popular, so let's use this
workaround instead:

The finish_arch_post_lock_switch() definition is now also hidden
inside of #ifdef MODULE, so we don't see anything referencing
preempt_enable_no_resched() from a header file. I've built a
few hundred randconfig kernels with this, and did not see any
new problems.

ARM: 8715/1: add a private asm/unaligned.h

2018-01-01T20:51:58+00:00

commit 1cce91dfc8f7990ca3aea896bfb148f240b12860 upstream.

The asm-generic/unaligned.h header provides two different implementations
for accessing unaligned variables: the access_ok.h version used when
CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is set pretends that all pointers
are in fact aligned, while the le_struct.h version convinces gcc that the
alignment of a pointer is '1', to make it issue the correct load/store
instructions depending on the architecture flags.

On ARMv5 and older, we always use the second version, to let the compiler
use byte accesses. On ARMv6 and newer, we currently use the access_ok.h
version, so the compiler can use any instruction including stm/ldm and
ldrd/strd that will cause an alignment trap. This trap can significantly
impact performance when we have to do a lot of fixups and, worse, has
led to crashes in the LZ4 decompressor code that does not have a trap
handler.

This adds an ARM specific version of asm/unaligned.h that uses the
le_struct.h/be_struct.h implementation unconditionally. This should lead
to essentially the same code on ARMv6+ as before, with the exception of
using regular load/store instructions instead of the trapping instructions
multi-register variants.

The crash in the LZ4 decompressor code was probably introduced by the
patch replacing the LZ4 implementation, commit 4e1a33b105dd ("lib: update
LZ4 compressor module"), so linux-4.11 and higher would be affected most.
However, we probably want to have this backported to all older stable
kernels as well, to help with the performance issues.

There are two follow-ups that I think we should also work on, but not
backport to stable kernels, first to change the asm-generic version of
the header to remove the ARM special case, and second to review all
other uses of CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS to see if they
might be affected by the same problem on ARM.

ARM: kexec: fix failure to boot crash kernel

2017-11-11T13:33:02+00:00

commit 0d70262a2d60886da6fe5b1fc8bbcd76cbbc306d upstream.

When kexec was converted to DTB, the dtb address was passed between
machine_kexec_prepare() and machine_kexec() using a static variable.
This is bad news if you load a crash kernel followed by a normal
kernel or vice versa - the last loaded kernel overwrites the dtb
address.

This can result in kexec failures, as (eg) we try to boot the crash
kernel with the last loaded dtb.  For example, with:

the crash kernel fails to find the dtb.

Avoid this by defining a kimage architecture structure, and store
the address to be passed in r2 there, which will either be the ATAGs
or the dtb blob.
