commit a425372e733177eb0779748956bc16c85167af48 upstream.

When KVM injects an exception into a guest, it generates the PSTATE
value from scratch, configuring PSTATE.{M[4:0],DAIF}, and setting all
other bits to zero.

This isn't correct, as the architecture specifies that some PSTATE bits
are (conditionally) cleared or set upon an exception, and others are
unchanged from the original context.

This patch adds logic to match the architectural behaviour. To make this
simple to follow/audit/extend, documentation references are provided,
and bits are configured in order of their layout in SPSR_EL2. This
layout can be seen in the diagram on ARM DDI 0487E.a page C5-429.

[ Upstream commit 8f04e8e6e29c93421a95b61cad62e3918425eac7 ]

On CPUs with support for PSTATE.SSBS, the kernel can toggle the SSBD
state without needing to call into firmware.

This patch hooks into the existing SSBD infrastructure so that SSBS is
used on CPUs that support it, but it's all made horribly complicated by
the very real possibility of big/little systems that don't uniformly
provide the new capability.

commit d71be2b6c0e19180b5f80a6d42039cc074a693a2 upstream.

Armv8.5 introduces a new PSTATE bit known as Speculative Store Bypass
Safe (SSBS) which can be used as a mitigation against Spectre variant 4.

Additionally, a CPU may provide instructions to manipulate PSTATE.SSBS
directly, so that userspace can toggle the SSBS control without trapping
to the kernel.

This patch probes for the existence of SSBS and advertise the new instructions
to userspace if they exist.

commit 35341ca0614ab13e1ef34ad4f29a39e15ef31fa8 upstream.

Pulling linux/prctl.h into asm/ptrace.h in the arm64 UAPI headers causes
userspace build issues for any program (e.g. strace and qemu) that
includes both &lt;sys/prctl.h&gt; and &lt;linux/ptrace.h&gt; when using musl libc:

  | error: redefinition of 'struct prctl_mm_map'
  |  struct prctl_mm_map {

See https://github.com/foundriesio/meta-lmp/commit/6d4a106e191b5d79c41b9ac78fd321316d3013c0
for a public example of people working around this issue.

Although it's a bit grotty, fix this breakage by duplicating the prctl
constant definitions. Since these are part of the kernel ABI, they
cannot be changed in future and so it's not the end of the world to have
them open-coded.

[ Upstream commit ee1b465b303591d3a04d403122bbc0d7026520fb ]

SVE_PT_REGS_OFFSET is supposed to indicate the offset for skipping
over the ptrace NT_ARM_SVE header (struct user_sve_header) to the
start of the SVE register data proper.

However, currently SVE_PT_REGS_OFFSET is defined in terms of struct
sve_context, which is wrong: that structure describes the SVE
header in the signal frame, not in the ptrace regset.

This patch fixes the definition to use the ptrace header structure
struct user_sve_header instead.

By good fortune, the two structures are the same size anyway, so
there is no functional or ABI change.

For the migrating VMs, user space may need to know the exception
state. For example, in the machine A, KVM make an SError pending,
when migrate to B, KVM also needs to pend an SError.

This new IOCTL exports user-invisible states related to SError.
Together with appropriate user space changes, user space can get/set
the SError exception state to do migrate/snapshot/suspend.

<title>arm64: signal: Report signal frame size to userspace via auxv</title>
<updated>2018-06-01T14:53:10+00:00</updated>

<name>Dave Martin</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.exis.tech/linux.git/commit/?id=94b07c1f8c39c6d839df35fa28ffd1785d385897'/>
<id>94b07c1f8c39c6d839df35fa28ffd1785d385897</id>
<content type='text'>
Stateful CPU architecture extensions may require the signal frame
to grow to a size that exceeds the arch's MINSIGSTKSZ #define.
However, changing this #define is an ABI break.

To allow userspace the option of determining the signal frame size
in a more forwards-compatible way, this patch adds a new auxv entry
tagged with AT_MINSIGSTKSZ, which provides the maximum signal frame
size that the process can observe during its lifetime.

If AT_MINSIGSTKSZ is absent from the aux vector, the caller can
assume that the MINSIGSTKSZ #define is sufficient.  This allows for
a consistent interface with older kernels that do not provide
AT_MINSIGSTKSZ.

The idea is that libc could expose this via sysconf() or some
similar mechanism.

There is deliberately no AT_SIGSTKSZ.  The kernel knows nothing
about userspace's own stack overheads and should not pretend to
know.

For arm64:

The primary motivation for this interface is the Scalable Vector
Extension, which can require at least 4KB or so of extra space
in the signal frame for the largest hardware implementations.

To determine the correct value, a "Christmas tree" mode (via the
add_all argument) is added to setup_sigframe_layout(), to simulate
addition of all possible records to the signal frame at maximum
possible size.

If this procedure goes wrong somehow, resulting in a stupidly large
frame layout and hence failure of sigframe_alloc() to allocate a
record to the frame, then this is indicative of a kernel bug.  In
this case, we WARN() and no attempt is made to populate
AT_MINSIGSTKSZ for userspace.

For arm64 SVE:

The SVE context block in the signal frame needs to be considered
too when computing the maximum possible signal frame size.

Because the size of this block depends on the vector length, this
patch computes the size based not on the thread's current vector
length but instead on the maximum possible vector length: this
determines the maximum size of SVE context block that can be
observed in any signal frame for the lifetime of the process.

To allow userspace the option of determining the signal frame size
in a more forwards-compatible way, this patch adds a new auxv entry
tagged with AT_MINSIGSTKSZ, which provides the maximum signal frame
size that the process can observe during its lifetime.

If AT_MINSIGSTKSZ is absent from the aux vector, the caller can
assume that the MINSIGSTKSZ #define is sufficient.  This allows for
a consistent interface with older kernels that do not provide
AT_MINSIGSTKSZ.

The idea is that libc could expose this via sysconf() or some
similar mechanism.

There is deliberately no AT_SIGSTKSZ.  The kernel knows nothing
about userspace's own stack overheads and should not pretend to
know.

For arm64:

The primary motivation for this interface is the Scalable Vector
Extension, which can require at least 4KB or so of extra space
in the signal frame for the largest hardware implementations.

To determine the correct value, a "Christmas tree" mode (via the
add_all argument) is added to setup_sigframe_layout(), to simulate
addition of all possible records to the signal frame at maximum
possible size.

If this procedure goes wrong somehow, resulting in a stupidly large
frame layout and hence failure of sigframe_alloc() to allocate a
record to the frame, then this is indicative of a kernel bug.  In
this case, we WARN() and no attempt is made to populate
AT_MINSIGSTKSZ for userspace.

For arm64 SVE:

The SVE context block in the signal frame needs to be considered
too when computing the maximum possible signal frame size.

Because the size of this block depends on the vector length, this
patch computes the size based not on the thread's current vector
length but instead on the maximum possible vector length: this
determines the maximum size of SVE context block that can be
observed in any signal frame for the lifetime of the process.

This new attribute allows the userspace to set the base address
of a reditributor region, relaxing the constraint of having all
consecutive redistibutor frames contiguous.

<title>arm/arm64: KVM: Add PSCI version selection API</title>

Although we've implemented PSCI 0.1, 0.2 and 1.0, we expose either 0.1
or 1.0 to a guest, defaulting to the latest version of the PSCI
implementation that is compatible with the requested version. This is
no different from doing a firmware upgrade on KVM.

But in order to give a chance to hypothetical badly implemented guests
that would have a fit by discovering something other than PSCI 0.2,
let's provide a new API that allows userspace to pick one particular
version of the API.

This is implemented as a new class of "firmware" registers, where
we expose the PSCI version. This allows the PSCI version to be
save/restored as part of a guest migration, and also set to
any supported version if the guest requires it.
