<id>urn:sha1:882416c1e4d1c9d4c7b50e0f5c3fa9ef043cd710</id>
<content type='text'>
When using the Virtualisation Host Extensions, EL1 is not used in
the host and requires no separate configuration.

In addition, with VHE enabled, non-hyp-specific EL2 configuration
that does not need to be done early will be done anyway in
__cpu_setup via the _EL1 system register aliases.  In particular,
the layout and definition of CPTR_EL2 are changed by enabling VHE
so that they resemble CPACR_EL1, so existing code to initialise
CPTR_EL2 becomes architecturally wrong in this case.

This patch simply skips the affected initialisation code in the
non-VHE case.

<title>arm64: fix invalidation of wrong __early_cpu_boot_status cacheline</title>

<content type='text'>
In head.S, the str_l macro, which takes a source register, a symbol name
and a temp register, is used to store a status value to the variable
__early_cpu_boot_status. Subsequently, the value of the temp register is
reused to invalidate any cachelines covering this variable.

However, since str_l resolves to

      adrp    \tmp, \sym
      str     \src, [\tmp, :lo12:\sym]

the temp register never actually holds the address of the variable but
only of the 4 KB window that covers it, and reusing it leads to the
wrong cacheline being invalidated. So instead, take the address
explicitly before doing the store, and reuse that value to perform
the cache invalidation.

<content type='text'>
The KASLR code incorrectly expects the contents of x18 to be preserved
across a call into C code, and uses it to stash the contents of SCTLR_EL1
before enabling the MMU. If the MMU needs to be disabled again to create
the randomized kernel mapping, x18 is written back to SCTLR_EL1, which is
likely to crash the system if x18 has been clobbered by kasan_early_init()
or kaslr_early_init(). So use x22 instead, which is not in use so far in
head.S

<content type='text'>
Commit f80fb3a3d50843a4 ("arm64: add support for kernel ASLR") missed a
DSB necessary to complete I-cache maintenance in the primary boot path,
and hence stale instructions may still be present in the I-cache and may
be executed until the I-cache maintenance naturally completes.

Since commit 8ec41987436d566f ("arm64: mm: ensure patched kernel text is
fetched from PoU"), all CPUs invalidate their I-caches after their MMU
is enabled. Prior a CPU's MMU having been enabled, arbitrary lines may
have been fetched from the PoC into I-caches. We never patch text
expected to be executed with the MMU off. Thus, it is unnecessary to
perform broadcast I-cache maintenance in the primary boot path.

This patch reduces the scope of the I-cache maintenance to the local
CPU, and adds the missing DSB with similar scope, matching prior
maintenance in the primary boot path.

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"

<content type='text'>
With ARMv8.1 VHE, the architecture is able to (almost) transparently
run the kernel at EL2, despite being written for EL1.

This patch takes care of the "almost" part, mostly preventing the kernel
from dropping from EL2 to EL1, and setting up the HYP configuration.

A secondary CPU could fail to come online due to insufficient
capabilities and could simply die or loop in the kernel.
e.g, a CPU with no support for the selected kernel PAGE_SIZE
loops in kernel with MMU turned off.
or a hotplugged CPU which doesn't have one of the advertised
system capability will die during the activation.

There is no way to synchronise the status of the failing CPU
back to the master. This patch solves the issue by adding a
field to the secondary_data which can be updated by the failing
CPU. If the secondary CPU fails even before turning the MMU on,
it updates the status in a special variable reserved in the head.txt
section to make sure that the update can be cache invalidated safely
without possible sharing of cache write back granule.

Here are the possible states :

 -1. CPU_MMU_OFF - Initial value set by the master CPU, this value
indicates that the CPU could not turn the MMU on, hence the status
could not be reliably updated in the secondary_data. Instead, the
CPU has updated the status @ __early_cpu_boot_status.

 0. CPU_BOOT_SUCCESS - CPU has booted successfully.

 1. CPU_KILL_ME - CPU has invoked cpu_ops-&gt;die, indicating the
master CPU to synchronise by issuing a cpu_ops-&gt;cpu_kill.

 2. CPU_STUCK_IN_KERNEL - CPU couldn't invoke die(), instead is
looping in the kernel. This information could be used by say,
kexec to check if it is really safe to do a kexec reboot.

 3. CPU_PANIC_KERNEL - CPU detected some serious issues which
requires kernel to crash immediately. The secondary CPU cannot
call panic() until it has initialised the GIC. This flag can
be used to instruct the master to do so.

This adds support for KASLR is implemented, based on entropy provided by
the bootloader in the /chosen/kaslr-seed DT property. Depending on the size
of the address space (VA_BITS) and the page size, the entropy in the
virtual displacement is up to 13 bits (16k/2 levels) and up to 25 bits (all
4 levels), with the sidenote that displacements that result in the kernel
image straddling a 1GB/32MB/512MB alignment boundary (for 4KB/16KB/64KB
granule kernels, respectively) are not allowed, and will be rounded up to
an acceptable value.

If CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL is enabled, the module region is
randomized independently from the core kernel. This makes it less likely
that the location of core kernel data structures can be determined by an
adversary, but causes all function calls from modules into the core kernel
to be resolved via entries in the module PLTs.

If CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL is not enabled, the module region is
randomized by choosing a page aligned 128 MB region inside the interval
[_etext - 128 MB, _stext + 128 MB). This gives between 10 and 14 bits of
entropy (depending on page size), independently of the kernel randomization,
but still guarantees that modules are within the range of relative branch
and jump instructions (with the caveat that, since the module region is
shared with other uses of the vmalloc area, modules may need to be loaded
further away if the module region is exhausted)

This implements CONFIG_RELOCATABLE, which links the final vmlinux
image with a dynamic relocation section, allowing the early boot code
to perform a relocation to a different virtual address at runtime.

This is a prerequisite for KASLR (CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE).
