To generate code in the eBPF epilogue that uses the DSB instruction,
insn.c needs a heler to encode the type and domain.

Re-use the crm encoding logic from the DMB instruction.

Add load-acquire ("load_acq", LDAR{,B,H}) and store-release
("store_rel", STLR{,B,H}) instructions.  Breakdown of encoding:

                                size        L   (Rs)  o0 (Rt2) Rn    Rt
             mask (0x3fdffc00): 00 111111 1 1 0 11111 1  11111 00000 00000
  value, load_acq (0x08dffc00): 00 001000 1 1 0 11111 1  11111 00000 00000
 value, store_rel (0x089ffc00): 00 001000 1 0 0 11111 1  11111 00000 00000

As suggested by Xu [1], include all Should-Be-One (SBO) bits ("Rs" and
"Rt2" fields) in the "mask" and "value" numbers.

It is worth noting that we are adding the "no offset" variant of STLR
instead of the "pre-index" variant, which has a different encoding.

<title>arm64: lib: Use MOPS for usercopy routines</title>
<updated>2025-03-07T18:30:16+00:00</updated>

<id>fe59e0358d9b032a09d903350d5fef73601166f2</id>
<content type='text'>
Similarly to what was done with the memcpy() routines, make
copy_to_user(), copy_from_user() and clear_user() also use the Armv8.8
FEAT_MOPS instructions.

Both MOPS implementation options (A and B) are supported, including
asymmetric systems. The exception fixup code fixes up the registers
according to the option used.

In case of a fault the routines return precisely how much was not copied
(as required by the comment in include/linux/uaccess.h), as unprivileged
versions of CPY/SET are guaranteed not to have written past the
addresses reported in the GPRs.

The MOPS instructions could possibly be inlined into callers (and
patched to branch to the generic implementation if not detected;
similarly to what x86 does), but as a first step this patch just uses
them in the out-of-line routines.

With the "crct10dif" algorithm having been removed from the crypto API,
crc_t10dif_is_optimized() is no longer used.

<title>lib/crc32: remove "_le" from crc32c base and arch functions</title>

Following the standardization on crc32c() as the lib entry point for the
Castagnoli CRC32 instead of the previous mix of crc32c(), crc32c_le(),
and __crc32c_le(), make the same change to the underlying base and arch
functions that implement it.

Drop the use of __pure and __attribute_const__ from the CRC32 library
functions that had them.  Both of these are unusual optimizations that
don't help properly written code.  They seem more likely to cause
problems than have any real benefit.

<title>arm64/crc-t10dif: expose CRC-T10DIF function through lib</title>

<content type='text'>
Move the arm64 CRC-T10DIF assembly code into the lib directory and wire
it up to the library interface.  This allows it to be used without going
through the crypto API.  It remains usable via the crypto API too via
the shash algorithms that use the library interface.  Thus all the
arch-specific "shash" code becomes unnecessary and is removed.

Note: to see the diff from arch/arm64/crypto/crct10dif-ce-glue.c to
arch/arm64/lib/crc-t10dif-glue.c, view this commit with 'git show -M10'.
