In linux-6.1, the related code is refactored in commit 124c49b1b5d9
("arm64: armv8_deprecated: rework deprected instruction handling") and this
issue was incidentally fixed. I have adapted the patch set to linux stable
5.10. However, 4.19 and 5.10 are too different and the patch set is
hard to adapt to 4.19.

This patch is to solve the problem of repeated addition of linked lists
described below with few changes.

How to reproduce:
CONFIG_ARMV8_DEPRECATED=y, CONFIG_SWP_EMULATION=y, and CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST=y,
then launch two shell executions:
       #!/bin/bash
       while [ 1 ];
       do
           echo 1 &gt; /proc/sys/abi/swp
       done

or "echo 1 &gt; /proc/sys/abi/swp" and then aunch two shell executions:
       #!/bin/bash
       while [ 1 ];
       do
           echo 0 &gt; /proc/sys/abi/swp
       done

In emulation_proc_handler(), read and write operations are performed on
insn-&gt;current_mode. In the concurrency scenario, mutex only protects
writing insn-&gt;current_mode, and not protects the read. Suppose there are
two concurrent tasks, task1 updates insn-&gt;current_mode to INSN_EMULATE
in the critical section, the prev_mode of task2 is still the old data
INSN_UNDEF of insn-&gt;current_mode. As a result, two tasks call
update_insn_emulation_mode twice with prev_mode = INSN_UNDEF and
current_mode = INSN_EMULATE, then call register_emulation_hooks twice,
resulting in a list_add double problem.

After applying this patch, the following list add or list del double
warnings never occur.

<title>hw_breakpoint: fix single-stepping when using bpf_overflow_handler</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit d11a69873d9a7435fe6a48531e165ab80a8b1221 ]

Arm platforms use is_default_overflow_handler() to determine if the
hw_breakpoint code should single-step over the breakpoint trigger or
let the custom handler deal with it.

Since bpf_overflow_handler() currently isn't recognized as a default
handler, attaching a BPF program to a PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT event causes
it to keep firing (the instruction triggering the data abort exception
is never skipped). For example:

  # bpftrace -e 'watchpoint:0x10000:4:w { print("hit") }' -c ./test
  Attaching 1 probe...
  hit
  hit
  [...]
  ^C

(./test performs a single 4-byte store to 0x10000)

This patch replaces the check with uses_default_overflow_handler(),
which accounts for the bpf_overflow_handler() case by also testing
if one of the perf_event_output functions gets invoked indirectly,
via orig_default_handler.

<title>arm64: kgdb: Set PSTATE.SS to 1 to re-enable single-step</title>

[ Upstream commit af6c0bd59f4f3ad5daad2f7b777954b1954551d5 ]

Currently only the first attempt to single-step has any effect. After
that all further stepping remains "stuck" at the same program counter
value.

Refer to the ARM Architecture Reference Manual (ARM DDI 0487E.a) D2.12,
PSTATE.SS=1 should be set at each step before transferring the PE to the
'Active-not-pending' state. The problem here is PSTATE.SS=1 is not set
since the second single-step.

After the first single-step, the PE transferes to the 'Inactive' state,
with PSTATE.SS=0 and MDSCR.SS=1, thus PSTATE.SS won't be set to 1 due to
kernel_active_single_step()=true. Then the PE transferes to the
'Active-pending' state when ERET and returns to the debugger by step
exception.

commit 0e25498f8cd43c1b5aa327f373dd094e9a006da7 upstream.

There are two big uses of do_exit.  The first is it's design use to be
the guts of the exit(2) system call.  The second use is to terminate
a task after something catastrophic has happened like a NULL pointer
in kernel code.

Add a function make_task_dead that is initialy exactly the same as
do_exit to cover the cases where do_exit is called to handle
catastrophic failure.  In time this can probably be reduced to just a
light wrapper around do_task_dead. For now keep it exactly the same so
that there will be no behavioral differences introducing this new
concept.

Replace all of the uses of do_exit that use it for catastraphic
task cleanup with make_task_dead to make it clear what the code
is doing.

As part of this rename rewind_stack_do_exit
rewind_stack_and_make_dead.

Both the Spectre-v2 and Spectre-BHB mitigations involve running a sequence
immediately after exiting a guest, before any branches. In the stable
kernels these sequences are built by copying templates into an empty vector
slot.

For Spectre-BHB, Cortex-A57 and A72 require the branchy loop with k=8.
If Spectre-v2 needs mitigating at the same time, a firmware call to EL3 is
needed. The work EL3 does at this point is also enough to mitigate
Spectre-BHB.

When enabling the Spectre-BHB mitigation, spectre_bhb_enable_mitigation()
should check if a slot has already been allocated for Spectre-v2, meaning
no work is needed for Spectre-BHB.

This check was missed in the earlier backport, add it.

Sami reports that linux panic()s when resuming from suspend to RAM. This
is because when CPUs are brought back online, they re-enable any
necessary mitigations.

The Spectre-v2 and Spectre-BHB mitigations interact as both need to
done by KVM when exiting a guest. Slots KVM can use as vectors are
allocated, and templates for the mitigation are patched into the vector.

This fails if a new slot needs to be allocated once the kernel has finished
booting as it is no-longer possible to modify KVM's vectors:

This is only a problem on platforms where there is only one CPU that is
vulnerable to both Spectre-v2 and Spectre-BHB.

The Spectre-v2 mitigation identifies the slot it can re-use by the CPU's
'fn'. It unconditionally writes the slot number and 'template_start'
pointer. The Spectre-BHB mitigation identifies slots it can re-use by
the CPU's template_start pointer, which was previously clobbered by the
Spectre-v2 mitigation.

When there is only one CPU that is vulnerable to both issues, this causes
Spectre-v2 to try to allocate a new slot, which fails.

Change both mitigations to check whether they are changing the slot this
CPU uses before writing the percpu variables again.

This issue only exists in the stable backports for Spectre-BHB which have
to use totally different infrastructure to mainline.

<title>arm64: efi: Fix handling of misaligned runtime regions and drop warning</title>

commit 9b9eaee9828fe98b030cf43ac50065a54a2f5d52 upstream.

Currently, when mapping the EFI runtime regions in the EFI page tables,
we complain about misaligned regions in a rather noisy way, using
WARN().

Not only does this produce a lot of irrelevant clutter in the log, it is
factually incorrect, as misaligned runtime regions are actually allowed
by the EFI spec as long as they don't require conflicting memory types
within the same 64k page.

So let's drop the warning, and tweak the code so that we
- take both the start and end of the region into account when checking
  for misalignment
- only revert to RWX mappings for non-code regions if misaligned code
  regions are also known to exist.

commit 44b3834b2eed595af07021b1c64e6f9bc396398b upstream.

Cortex-A57 and Cortex-A72 have an erratum where an interrupt that
occurs between a pair of AES instructions in aarch32 mode may corrupt
the ELR. The task will subsequently produce the wrong AES result.

The AES instructions are part of the cryptographic extensions, which are
optional. User-space software will detect the support for these
instructions from the hwcaps. If the platform doesn't support these
instructions a software implementation should be used.

Remove the hwcap bits on affected parts to indicate user-space should
not use the AES instructions.

[ Upstream commit e75d18cecbb3805895d8ed64da4f78575ec96043 ]

Though acpi_find_last_cache_level() always returned signed value and the
document states it will return any errors caused by lack of a PPTT table,
it never returned negative values before.

Commit 0c80f9e165f8 ("ACPI: PPTT: Leave the table mapped for the runtime usage")
however changed it by returning -ENOENT if no PPTT was found. The value
returned from acpi_find_last_cache_level() is then assigned to unsigned
fw_level.

It will result in the number of cache leaves calculated incorrectly as
a huge value which will then cause the following warning from __alloc_pages
as the order would be great than MAX_ORDER because of incorrect and huge
cache leaves value.

commit e112b032a72c78f15d0c803c5dc6be444c2e6c66 upstream.

Currently in arm64, FDT is mapped to RO before it's passed to
early_init_dt_scan(). However, there might be some codes
(eg. commit "fdt: add support for rng-seed") that need to modify FDT
during init. Map FDT to RO after early fixups are done.
