[ Upstream commit a2c0b0fbe01419f8f5d1c0b9c581631f34ffce8b ]

The alternatives code must be `noinstr` such that it does not patch itself,
as the cache invalidation is only performed after all the alternatives have
been applied.

Mark patch_alternative() as `noinstr`. Mark branch_insn_requires_update()
and get_alt_insn() with `__always_inline` since they are both only called
through patch_alternative().

Booting a kernel in QEMU TCG with KCSAN=y and ARM64_USE_LSE_ATOMICS=y caused
a boot hang:
[    0.241121] CPU: All CPU(s) started at EL2

The alternatives code was patching the atomics in __tsan_read4() from LL/SC
atomics to LSE atomics.

The following fragment is using LL/SC atomics in the .text section:
  | &lt;__tsan_unaligned_read4+304&gt;:     ldxr    x6, [x2]
  | &lt;__tsan_unaligned_read4+308&gt;:     add     x6, x6, x5
  | &lt;__tsan_unaligned_read4+312&gt;:     stxr    w7, x6, [x2]
  | &lt;__tsan_unaligned_read4+316&gt;:     cbnz    w7, &lt;__tsan_unaligned_read4+304&gt;

This LL/SC atomic sequence was to be replaced with LSE atomics. However since
the alternatives code was instrumentable, __tsan_read4() was being called after
only the first instruction was replaced, which led to the following code in memory:
  | &lt;__tsan_unaligned_read4+304&gt;:     ldadd   x5, x6, [x2]
  | &lt;__tsan_unaligned_read4+308&gt;:     add     x6, x6, x5
  | &lt;__tsan_unaligned_read4+312&gt;:     stxr    w7, x6, [x2]
  | &lt;__tsan_unaligned_read4+316&gt;:     cbnz    w7, &lt;__tsan_unaligned_read4+304&gt;

This caused an infinite loop as the `stxr` instruction never completed successfully,
so `w7` was always 0.

commit 01f6c7338ce267959975da65d86ba34f44d54220 upstream.

Currently the first thing checked is whether the PCSI cpu_suspend function
has been initialized.

Another change will be overloading `acpi_processor_ffh_lpi_probe` and
calling it sooner.  So make the `has_lpi` check the first thing checked
to prepare for that change.

commit 31a099dbd91e69fcab55eef4be15ed7a8c984918 upstream.

These patch_text implementations are using stop_machine_cpuslocked
infrastructure with atomic cpu_count. The original idea: When the
master CPU patch_text, the others should wait for it. But current
implementation is using the first CPU as master, which couldn't
guarantee the remaining CPUs are waiting. This patch changes the
last CPU as the master to solve the potential risk.

<title>arch/arm64: Fix topology initialization for core scheduling</title>

[ Upstream commit 5524cbb1bfcdff0cad0aaa9f94e6092002a07259 ]

Arm64 systems rely on store_cpu_topology() to call update_siblings_masks()
to transfer the toplogy to the various cpu masks. This needs to be done
before the call to notify_cpu_starting() which tells the scheduler about
each cpu found, otherwise the core scheduling data structures are setup
in a way that does not match the actual topology.

With smt_mask not setup correctly we bail on `cpumask_weight(smt_mask) == 1`
for !leaders in:

 notify_cpu_starting()
   cpuhp_invoke_callback_range()
     sched_cpu_starting()
       sched_core_cpu_starting()

which leads to rq-&gt;core not being correctly set for !leader-rq's.

Without this change stress-ng (which enables core scheduling in its prctl
tests in newer versions -- i.e. with PR_SCHED_CORE support) causes a warning
and then a crash (trimmed for legibility):

<title>arm64: prevent instrumentation of bp hardening callbacks</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d362998e8df9ada2e9e1b5f5f154959df287402d</id>

[ Upstream commit 614c0b9fee711dd89b1dd65c88ba83612a373fdc ]

We may call arm64_apply_bp_hardening() early during entry (e.g. in
el0_ia()) before it is safe to run instrumented code. Unfortunately this
may result in running instrumented code in two cases:

* The hardening callbacks called by arm64_apply_bp_hardening() are not
  marked as `noinstr`, and have been observed to be instrumented when
  compiled with either GCC or LLVM.

* Since arm64_apply_bp_hardening() itself is only marked as `inline`
  rather than `__always_inline`, it is possible that the compiler
  decides to place it out-of-line, whereupon it may be instrumented.

For example, with defconfig built with clang 13.0.0,
call_hvc_arch_workaround_1() is compiled as:

| &lt;call_hvc_arch_workaround_1&gt;:
|        d503233f        paciasp
|        f81f0ffe        str     x30, [sp, #-16]!
|        320183e0        mov     w0, #0x80008000
|        d503201f        nop
|        d4000002        hvc     #0x0
|        f84107fe        ldr     x30, [sp], #16
|        d50323bf        autiasp
|        d65f03c0        ret

... but when CONFIG_FTRACE=y and CONFIG_KCOV=y this is compiled as:

| &lt;call_hvc_arch_workaround_1&gt;:
|        d503245f        bti     c
|        d503201f        nop
|        d503201f        nop
|        d503233f        paciasp
|        a9bf7bfd        stp     x29, x30, [sp, #-16]!
|        910003fd        mov     x29, sp
|        94000000        bl      0 &lt;__sanitizer_cov_trace_pc&gt;
|        320183e0        mov     w0, #0x80008000
|        d503201f        nop
|        d4000002        hvc     #0x0
|        a8c17bfd        ldp     x29, x30, [sp], #16
|        d50323bf        autiasp
|        d65f03c0        ret

... with a patchable function entry registered with ftrace, and a direct
call to __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc(). Neither of these are safe early
during entry sequences.

This patch avoids the unsafe instrumentation by marking
arm64_apply_bp_hardening() as `__always_inline` and by marking the
hardening functions as `noinstr`. This avoids the potential for
instrumentation, and causes clang to consistently generate the function
as with the defconfig sample.

Note: in the defconfig compilation, when CONFIG_SVE=y, x30 is spilled to
the stack without being placed in a frame record, which will result in a
missing entry if call_hvc_arch_workaround_1() is backtraced. Similar is
true of qcom_link_stack_sanitisation(), where inline asm spills the LR
to a GPR prior to corrupting it. This is not a significant issue
presently as we will only backtrace here if an exception is taken, and
in such cases we may omit entries for other reasons today.

The relevant hardening functions were introduced in commits:

  ec82b567a74fbdff ("arm64: Implement branch predictor hardening for Falkor")
  b092201e00206141 ("arm64: Add ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 BP hardening support")

... and these were subsequently moved in commit:

  d4647f0a2ad71110 ("arm64: Rewrite Spectre-v2 mitigation code")

The arm64_apply_bp_hardening() function was introduced in commit:

  0f15adbb2861ce6f ("arm64: Add skeleton to harden the branch predictor against aliasing attacks")

... and was subsequently moved and reworked in commit:

commit 0a32c88ddb9af30e8a16d41d7b9b824c27d29459 upstream.

Commit 6d502b6ba1b2 ("arm64: signal: nofpsimd: Handle fp/simd context for
signal frames") introduced saving the fp/simd context for signal handling
only when support is available. But setup_sigframe_layout() always
reserves memory for fp/simd context. The additional memory is not touched
because preserve_fpsimd_context() is not called and thus the magic is
invalid.

This may lead to an error when parse_user_sigframe() checks the fp/simd
area and does not find a valid magic number.

commit 58c9a5060cb7cd529d49c93954cdafe81c1d642a upstream.

The mitigations for Spectre-BHB are only applied when an exception is
taken from user-space. The mitigation status is reported via the spectre_v2
sysfs vulnerabilities file.

When unprivileged eBPF is enabled the mitigation in the exception vectors
can be avoided by an eBPF program.

When unprivileged eBPF is enabled, print a warning and report vulnerable
via the sysfs vulnerabilities file.

commit 228a26b912287934789023b4132ba76065d9491c upstream.

Future CPUs may implement a clearbhb instruction that is sufficient
to mitigate SpectreBHB. CPUs that implement this instruction, but
not CSV2.3 must be affected by Spectre-BHB.

Add support to use this instruction as the BHB mitigation on CPUs
that support it. The instruction is in the hint space, so it will
be treated by a NOP as older CPUs.

commit 558c303c9734af5a813739cd284879227f7297d2 upstream.

Speculation attacks against some high-performance processors can
make use of branch history to influence future speculation.
When taking an exception from user-space, a sequence of branches
or a firmware call overwrites or invalidates the branch history.

The sequence of branches is added to the vectors, and should appear
before the first indirect branch. For systems using KPTI the sequence
is added to the kpti trampoline where it has a free register as the exit
from the trampoline is via a 'ret'. For systems not using KPTI, the same
register tricks are used to free up a register in the vectors.

For the firmware call, arch-workaround-3 clobbers 4 registers, so
there is no choice but to save them to the EL1 stack. This only happens
for entry from EL0, so if we take an exception due to the stack access,
it will not become re-entrant.

For KVM, the existing branch-predictor-hardening vectors are used.
When a spectre version of these vectors is in use, the firmware call
is sufficient to mitigate against Spectre-BHB. For the non-spectre
versions, the sequence of branches is added to the indirect vector.
