[ Upstream commit d8c1d798a2e5091128c391c6dadcc9be334af3f5 ]

We use is_ttbr0_addr() in noinstr code, but as it's only marked as
inline, it's theoretically possible for the compiler to place it
out-of-line and instrument it, which would be problematic.

Mark is_ttbr0_addr() as __always_inline such that that can safely be
used from noinstr code. For consistency, do the same to is_ttbr1_addr().
Note that while is_ttbr1_addr() calls arch_kasan_reset_tag(), this is a
macro (and its callees are either macros or __always_inline), so there
is not a risk of transient instrumentation.

<title>arm64: stackleak: fix current_top_of_stack()</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit e85094c31ddb794ac41c299a5a7a68243148f829 ]

Due to some historical confusion, arm64's current_top_of_stack() isn't
what the stackleak code expects. This could in theory result in a number
of problems, and practically results in an unnecessary performance hit.
We can avoid this by aligning the arm64 implementation with the x86
implementation.

The arm64 implementation of current_top_of_stack() was added
specifically for stackleak in commit:

  0b3e336601b82c6a ("arm64: Add support for STACKLEAK gcc plugin")

This was intended to be equivalent to the x86 implementation, but the
implementation, semantics, and performance characteristics differ
wildly:

* On x86, current_top_of_stack() returns the top of the current task's
  task stack, regardless of which stack is in active use.

  The implementation accesses a percpu variable which the x86 entry code
  maintains, and returns the location immediately above the pt_regs on
  the task stack (above which x86 has some padding).

* On arm64 current_top_of_stack() returns the top of the stack in active
  use (i.e. the one which is currently being used).

  The implementation checks the SP against a number of
  potentially-accessible stacks, and will BUG() if no stack is found.

The core stackleak_erase() code determines the upper bound of stack to
erase with:

| if (on_thread_stack())
|         boundary = current_stack_pointer;
| else
|         boundary = current_top_of_stack();

On arm64 stackleak_erase() is always called on a task stack, and
on_thread_stack() should always be true. On x86, stackleak_erase() is
mostly called on a trampoline stack, and is sometimes called on a task
stack.

Currently, this results in a lot of unnecessary code being generated for
arm64 for the impossible !on_thread_stack() case. Some of this is
inlined, bloating stackleak_erase(), while portions of this are left
out-of-line and permitted to be instrumented (which would be a
functional problem if that code were reachable).

As a first step towards improving this, this patch aligns arm64's
implementation of current_top_of_stack() with x86's, always returning
the top of the current task's stack. With GCC 11.1.0 this results in the
bulk of the unnecessary code being removed, including all of the
out-of-line instrumentable code.

While I don't believe there's a functional problem in practice I've
marked this as a fix since the semantic was clearly wrong, the fix
itself is simple, and other code might rely upon this in future.

<title>arm64: move preemption disablement to prctl handlers</title>

<id>d2e0d8f9746d3e09bcaf15e46c792e40819c9186</id>
<content type='text'>
In the next patch, we will start reading sctlr_user from
mte_update_sctlr_user and subsequently writing a new value based on the
task's TCF setting and potentially the per-CPU TCF preference. This
means that we need to be careful to disable preemption around any
code sequences that read from sctlr_user and subsequently write to
sctlr_user and/or SCTLR_EL1, so that we don't end up writing a stale
value (based on the previous CPU's TCF preference) to either of them.

We currently have four such sequences, in the prctl handlers for
PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL and PR_PAC_SET_ENABLED_KEYS, as well as in
the task initialization code that resets the prctl settings. Change
the prctl handlers to disable preemption in the handlers themselves
rather than the functions that they call, and change the task
initialization code to call the respective prctl handlers instead of
setting sctlr_user directly.

As a result of this change, we no longer need the helper function
set_task_sctlr_el1, nor does its behavior make sense any more, so
remove it.

Allow the user program to specify both ASYNC and SYNC TCF modes by
repurposing the existing constants as bitfields. This will allow the
kernel to select one of the modes on behalf of the user program. With
this patch the kernel will always select async mode, but a subsequent
patch will make this configurable.

The never-ending entry.S refactoring continues, putting us in a much
better place wrt compiler instrumentation whilst moving more of the code
into C.

<title>arm64: Conditionally configure PTR_AUTH key of the kernel.</title>

If the kernel is not compiled with CONFIG_ARM64_PTR_AUTH_KERNEL=y,
then no PACI/AUTI instructions are expected while the kernel is running
so the kernel's key will not be used. Write of a system registers
is expensive therefore avoid if not required.

For various reasons we'd like to convert the bulk of arm64's exception
triage logic to C. As a step towards that, this patch converts the EL1
and EL0 IRQ+FIQ triage logic to C.

Separate C functions are added for the native and compat cases so that
in subsequent patches we can handle native/compat differences in C.

Since the triage functions can now call arm64_apply_bp_hardening()
directly, the do_el0_irq_bp_hardening() wrapper function is removed.

Since the user_exit_irqoff macro is now unused, it is removed. The
user_enter_irqoff macro is still used by the ret_to_user code, and
cannot be removed at this time.
