commit a9c406e6462ff14956d690de7bbe5131a5677dc9 upstream.

Adding a second set of vectors to .entry.tramp.text will make it
larger than a single 4K page.

Allow the trampoline text to occupy up to three pages by adding two
more fixmap slots. Previous changes to tramp_valias allowed it to reach
beyond a single page.

commit e9ee186bb735bfc17fa81dbc9aebf268aee5b41e upstream.

KVM has a one instruction window where it will allow an SError exception
to be consumed by the hypervisor without treating it as a hypervisor bug.
This is used to consume asynchronous external abort that were caused by
the guest.

As we are about to add another location that survives unexpected exceptions,
generalise this code to make it behave like the host's extable.

KVM's version has to be mapped to EL2 to be accessible on nVHE systems.

The SError vaxorcism code is a one instruction window, so has two entries
in the extable. Because the KVM code is copied for VHE and nVHE, we end up
with four entries, half of which correspond with code that isn't mapped.

<title>arm64/alternatives: use subsections for replacement sequences</title>

[ Upstream commit f7b93d42945cc71e1346dd5ae07c59061d56745e ]

When building very large kernels, the logic that emits replacement
sequences for alternatives fails when relative branches are present
in the code that is emitted into the .altinstr_replacement section
and patched in at the original site and fixed up. The reason is that
the linker will insert veneers if relative branches go out of range,
and due to the relative distance of the .altinstr_replacement from
the .text section where its branch targets usually live, veneers
may be emitted at the end of the .altinstr_replacement section, with
the relative branches in the sequence pointed at the veneers instead
of the actual target.

The alternatives patching logic will attempt to fix up the branch to
point to its original target, which will be the veneer in this case,
but given that the patch site is likely to be far away as well, it
will be out of range and so patching will fail. There are other cases
where these veneers are problematic, e.g., when the target of the
branch is in .text while the patch site is in .init.text, in which
case putting the replacement sequence inside .text may not help either.

So let's use subsections to emit the replacement code as closely as
possible to the patch site, to ensure that veneers are only likely to
be emitted if they are required at the patch site as well, in which
case they will be in range for the replacement sequence both before
and after it is transported to the patch site.

This will prevent alternative sequences in non-init code from being
released from memory after boot, but this is tolerable given that the
entire section is only 512 KB on an allyesconfig build (which weighs in
at 500+ MB for the entire Image). Also, note that modules today carry
the replacement sequences in non-init sections as well, and any of
those that target init code will be emitted into init sections after
this change.

This fixes an early crash when booting an allyesconfig kernel on a
system where any of the alternatives sequences containing relative
branches are activated at boot (e.g., ARM64_HAS_PAN on TX2)

commit 3bbd3db86470c701091fb1d67f1fab6621debf50 upstream.

readelf complains about the section layout of vmlinux when building
with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y (for KASLR):

  readelf: Warning: [21]: Link field (0) should index a symtab section.
  readelf: Warning: [21]: Info field (0) should index a relocatable section.

Also, it seems that our use of '-pie -shared' is contradictory, and
thus ambiguous. In general, the way KASLR is wired up at the moment
is highly tailored to how ld.bfd happens to implement (and conflate)
PIE executables and shared libraries, so given the current effort to
support other toolchains, let's fix some of these issues as well.

- Drop the -pie linker argument and just leave -shared. In ld.bfd,
  the differences between them are unclear (except for the ELF type
  of the produced image [0]) but lld chokes on seeing both at the
  same time.

- Rename the .rela output section to .rela.dyn, as is customary for
  shared libraries and PIE executables, so that it is not misidentified
  by readelf as a static relocation section (producing the warnings
  above).

- Pass the -z notext and -z norelro options to explicitly instruct the
  linker to permit text relocations, and to omit the RELRO program
  header (which requires a certain section layout that we don't adhere
  to in the kernel). These are the defaults for current versions of
  ld.bfd.

- Discard .eh_frame and .gnu.hash sections to avoid them from being
  emitted between .head.text and .text, screwing up the section layout.

These changes only affect the ELF image, and produce the same binary
image.

<title>arm64: Extend early page table code to allow for larger kernels</title>

Currently the early assembler page table code assumes that precisely
1xpgd, 1xpud, 1xpmd are sufficient to represent the early kernel text
mappings.

Unfortunately this is rarely the case when running with a 16KB granule,
and we also run into limits with 4KB granule when building much larger
kernels.

This patch re-writes the early page table logic to compute indices of
mappings for each level of page table, and if multiple indices are
required, the next-level page table is scaled up accordingly.

Also the required size of the swapper_pg_dir is computed at link time
to cover the mapping [KIMAGE_ADDR + VOFFSET, _end]. When KASLR is
enabled, an extra page is set aside for each level that may require extra
entries at runtime.

The trampoline page tables are positioned after the early page tables in
the kernel linker script.

As we are about to change the early page table logic to resolve the
swapper size at link time as opposed to compile time, the
SWAPPER_DIR_SIZE variable (currently used to locate the trampline)
will be rendered unsuitable for low level assembler.

This patch solves this issue by moving the trampoline before the PAN
page tables. The offset to the trampoline from ttbr1 can then be
expressed by: PAGE_SIZE + RESERVED_TTBR0_SIZE, which is available to the
entry assembler.

Currently one resolves the location of the reserved_ttbr0 for PAN by
taking a positive offset from swapper_pg_dir. In a future patch we wish
to extend the swapper s.t. its size is determined at link time rather
than comile time, rendering SWAPPER_DIR_SIZE unsuitable for such a low
level calculation.

In this patch we re-arrange the order of the linker script s.t. instead
one computes reserved_ttbr0 by subtracting RESERVED_TTBR0_SIZE from
swapper_pg_dir.

The literal pool entry for identifying the vectors base is the only piece
of information in the trampoline page that identifies the true location
of the kernel.

This patch moves it into a page-aligned region of the .rodata section
and maps this adjacent to the trampoline text via an additional fixmap
entry, which protects against any accidental leakage of the trampoline
contents.

To allow unmapping of the kernel whilst running at EL0, we need to
point the exception vectors at an entry trampoline that can map/unmap
the kernel on entry/exit respectively.

This patch adds the trampoline page, although it is not yet plugged
into the vector table and is therefore unused.
