arm64: Implement pmdp_set_access_flags() for hardware AF/DBM

2016-06-01T19:17:57+00:00

commit 282aa7051b0169991b34716f0f22d9c2f59c46c4 upstream. The update to the accessed or dirty states for block mappings must be done atomically on hardware with support for automatic AF/DBM. The ptep_set_access_flags() function has been fixed as part of commit 66dbd6e61a52 ("arm64: Implement ptep_set_access_flags() for hardware AF/DBM"). This patch brings pmdp_set_access_flags() in line with the pte counterpart.

arm64: Implement ptep_set_access_flags() for hardware AF/DBM

2016-06-01T19:17:57+00:00

commit 66dbd6e61a526ae7d11a208238ae2c17e5cacb6b upstream. When hardware updates of the access and dirty states are enabled, the default ptep_set_access_flags() implementation based on calling set_pte_at() directly is potentially racy. This triggers the "racy dirty state clearing" warning in set_pte_at() because an existing writable PTE is overridden with a clean entry. There are two main scenarios for this situation: 1. The CPU getting an access fault does not support hardware updates of the access/dirty flags. However, a different agent in the system (e.g. SMMU) can do this, therefore overriding a writable entry with a clean one could potentially lose the automatically updated dirty status 2. A more complex situation is possible when all CPUs support hardware AF/DBM: a) Initial state: shareable + writable vma and pte_none(pte) b) Read fault taken by two threads of the same process on different CPUs c) CPU0 takes the mmap_sem and proceeds to handling the fault. It eventually reaches do_set_pte() which sets a writable + clean pte. CPU0 releases the mmap_sem d) CPU1 acquires the mmap_sem and proceeds to handle_pte_fault(). The pte entry it reads is present, writable and clean and it continues to pte_mkyoung() e) CPU1 calls ptep_set_access_flags() If between (d) and (e) the hardware (another CPU) updates the dirty state (clears PTE_RDONLY), CPU1 will override the PTR_RDONLY bit marking the entry clean again. This patch implements an arm64-specific ptep_set_access_flags() function to perform an atomic update of the PTE flags.

arm64: Ensure pmd_present() returns false after pmd_mknotpresent()

2016-06-01T19:17:57+00:00

commit 5bb1cc0ff9a6b68871970737e6c4c16919928d8b upstream. Currently, pmd_present() only checks for a non-zero value, returning true even after pmd_mknotpresent() (which only clears the type bits). This patch converts pmd_present() to using pte_present(), similar to the other pmd_*() checks. As a side effect, it will return true for PROT_NONE mappings, though they are not yet used by the kernel with transparent huge pages. For consistency, also change pmd_mknotpresent() to only clear the PMD_SECT_VALID bit, even though the PMD_TABLE_BIT is already 0 for block mappings (no functional change). The unused PMD_SECT_PROT_NONE definition is removed as transparent huge pages use the pte page prot values.

commit 911f56eeb87ee378f5e215469268a7a2f68a5a8a upstream. With hardware AF/DBM support, pmd modifications (transparent huge pages) should be performed atomically using load/store exclusive. The initial patches defined the get-and-clear function and __HAVE_ARCH_* macro without the "huge" word, leaving the pmdp_huge_get_and_clear() to the default, non-atomic implementation.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas: "Here are the main arm64 updates for 4.6. There are some relatively intrusive changes to support KASLR, the reworking of the kernel virtual memory layout and initial page table creation. Summary: - Initial page table creation reworked to avoid breaking large block mappings (huge pages) into smaller ones. The ARM architecture requires break-before-make in such cases to avoid TLB conflicts but that's not always possible on live page tables - Kernel virtual memory layout: the kernel image is no longer linked to the bottom of the linear mapping (PAGE_OFFSET) but at the bottom of the vmalloc space, allowing the kernel to be loaded (nearly) anywhere in physical RAM - Kernel ASLR: position independent kernel Image and modules being randomly mapped in the vmalloc space with the randomness is provided by UEFI (efi_get_random_bytes() patches merged via the arm64 tree, acked by Matt Fleming) - Implement relative exception tables for arm64, required by KASLR (initial code for ARCH_HAS_RELATIVE_EXTABLE added to lib/extable.c but actual x86 conversion to deferred to 4.7 because of the merge dependencies) - Support for the User Access Override feature of ARMv8.2: this allows uaccess functions (get_user etc.) to be implemented using LDTR/STTR instructions. Such instructions, when run by the kernel, perform unprivileged accesses adding an extra level of protection. The set_fs() macro is used to "upgrade" such instruction to privileged accesses via the UAO bit - Half-precision floating point support (part of ARMv8.2) - Optimisations for CPUs with or without a hardware prefetcher (using run-time code patching) - copy_page performance improvement to deal with 128 bytes at a time - Sanity checks on the CPU capabilities (via CPUID) to prevent incompatible secondary CPUs from being brought up (e.g. weird big.LITTLE configurations) - valid_user_regs() reworked for better sanity check of the sigcontext information (restored pstate information) - ACPI parking protocol implementation - CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA enabled by default - VDSO code marked as read-only - DEBUG_PAGEALLOC support - ARCH_HAS_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL enabled - Erratum workaround Cavium ThunderX SoC - set_pte_at() fix for PROT_NONE mappings - Code clean-ups" * tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: (99 commits) arm64: kasan: Fix zero shadow mapping overriding kernel image shadow arm64: kasan: Use actual memory node when populating the kernel image shadow arm64: Update PTE_RDONLY in set_pte_at() for PROT_NONE permission arm64: Fix misspellings in comments. arm64: efi: add missing frame pointer assignment arm64: make mrs_s prefixing implicit in read_cpuid arm64: enable CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA by default arm64: Rework valid_user_regs arm64: mm: check at build time that PAGE_OFFSET divides the VA space evenly arm64: KVM: Move kvm_call_hyp back to its original localtion arm64: mm: treat memstart_addr as a signed quantity arm64: mm: list kernel sections in order arm64: lse: deal with clobbered IP registers after branch via PLT arm64: mm: dump: Use VA_START directly instead of private LOWEST_ADDR arm64: kconfig: add submenu for 8.2 architectural features arm64: kernel: acpi: fix ioremap in ACPI parking protocol cpu_postboot arm64: Add support for Half precision floating point arm64: Remove fixmap include fragility arm64: Add workaround for Cavium erratum 27456 arm64: mm: Mark .rodata as RO ...

arm64: Update PTE_RDONLY in set_pte_at() for PROT_NONE permission

2016-03-11T11:03:34+00:00

The set_pte_at() function must update the hardware PTE_RDONLY bit depending on the state of the PTE_WRITE and PTE_DIRTY bits of the given entry value. However, it currently only performs this for pte_valid() entries, ignoring PTE_PROT_NONE. The side-effect is that PROT_NONE mappings would not have the PTE_RDONLY bit set. Without CONFIG_ARM64_HW_AFDBM, this is not an issue since such PROT_NONE pages are not accessible anyway. With commit 2f4b829c625e ("arm64: Add support for hardware updates of the access and dirty pte bits"), the ptep_set_wrprotect() function was re-written to cope with automatic hardware updates of the dirty state. As an optimisation, only PTE_RDONLY is checked to assess the "dirty" status. Since set_pte_at() does not set this bit for PROT_NONE mappings, such pages may be considered "dirty" as a result of ptep_set_wrprotect(). This patch updates the pte_valid() check to pte_present() in set_pte_at(). It also adds PTE_PROT_NONE to the swap entry bits comment.

arm64: account for sparsemem section alignment when choosing vmemmap offset

2016-03-09T14:57:08+00:00

Commit dfd55ad85e4a ("arm64: vmemmap: use virtual projection of linear region") fixed an issue where the struct page array would overflow into the adjacent virtual memory region if system RAM was placed so high up in physical memory that its addresses were not representable in the build time configured virtual address size. However, the fix failed to take into account that the vmemmap region needs to be relatively aligned with respect to the sparsemem section size, so that a sequence of page structs corresponding with a sparsemem section in the linear region appears naturally aligned in the vmemmap region. So round up vmemmap to sparsemem section size. Since this essentially moves the projection of the linear region up in memory, also revert the reduction of the size of the vmemmap region.

arm64: vmemmap: use virtual projection of linear region

2016-02-26T17:59:04+00:00

Commit dd006da21646 ("arm64: mm: increase VA range of identity map") made some changes to the memory mapping code to allow physical memory to reside at an offset that exceeds the size of the virtual mapping. However, since the size of the vmemmap area is proportional to the size of the VA area, but it is populated relative to the physical space, we may end up with the struct page array being mapped outside of the vmemmap region. For instance, on my Seattle A0 box, I can see the following output in the dmesg log. vmemmap : 0xffffffbdc0000000 - 0xffffffbfc0000000 ( 8 GB maximum) 0xffffffbfc0000000 - 0xffffffbfd0000000 ( 256 MB actual) We can fix this by deciding that the vmemmap region is not a projection of the physical space, but of the virtual space above PAGE_OFFSET, i.e., the linear region. This way, we are guaranteed that the vmemmap region is of sufficient size, and we can even reduce the size by half. Cc: Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel Signed-off-by: Will Deacon

arm64: Remove fixmap include fragility

2016-02-26T15:22:53+00:00

The asm-generic fixmap.h depends on each architecture's fixmap.h to pull in the definition of PAGE_KERNEL_RO, if this exists. In the absence of this, FIXMAP_PAGE_RO will not be defined. In mm/early_ioremap.c the definition of early_memremap_ro is predicated on FIXMAP_PAGE_RO being defined. Currently, the arm64 fixmap.h doesn't include pgtable.h for the definition of PAGE_KERNEL_RO, and as a knock-on effect early_memremap_ro is not always defined, leading to link-time failures when it is used. This has been observed with defconfig on next-20160226. Unfortunately, as pgtable.h includes fixmap.h, adding the include introduces a circular dependency, which is just as fragile. Instead, this patch factors out PAGE_KERNEL_RO and other prot definitions into a new pgtable-prot header which can be included by poth pgtable.h and fixmap.h, avoiding the circular dependency, and ensuring that early_memremap_ro is alwyas defined where it is used.

arm64: Fix building error with 16KB pages and 36-bit VA

In such configuration, Linux uses only two pages of page tables and __pud_populate() should not be used. However, the BUILD_BUG() triggers since pud_sect() is still defined and the compiler cannot eliminate such code, even though at run-time it should not be triggered. This patch extends the #ifdef ARM64_64K_PAGES condition for pud_sect to include PGTABLE_LEVELS < 3. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas
