Add support for hibernate/suspend-to-disk.
Suspend borrows code from cpu_suspend() to write cpu state onto the stack,
before calling swsusp_save() to save the memory image.
Restore creates a set of temporary page tables, covering only the
linear map, copies the restore code to a 'safe' page, then uses the copy to
restore the memory image. The copied code executes in the lower half of the
address space, and once complete, restores the original kernel's page
tables. It then calls into cpu_resume(), and follows the normal
cpu_suspend() path back into the suspend code.
To restore a kernel using KASLR, the address of the page tables, and
cpu_resume() are stored in the hibernate arch-header and the el2
vectors are pivotted via the 'safe' page in low memory.

Refactor the relocation processing so that the code executes from the
ID map while accessing the relocation tables via the virtual mapping.
This way, we can use literals containing virtual addresses as before,
instead of having to use convoluted absolute expressions.
For symmetry with the secondary code path, the relocation code and the
subsequent jump to the virtual entry point are implemented in a function
called __primary_switch(), and __mmap_switched() is renamed to
__primary_switched(). Also, the call sequence in stext() is aligned with
the one in secondary_startup(), by replacing the awkward 'adr_l lr' and
'b cpu_setup' sequence with a simple branch and link.

The mapping of the kernel consist of four segments, each of which is mapped
with different permission attributes and/or lifetimes. To optimize the TLB
and translation table footprint, we define various opaque constants in the
linker script that resolve to different aligment values depending on the
page size and whether CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA is set.
Considering that
- a 4 KB granule kernel benefits from a 64 KB segment alignment (due to
the fact that it allows the use of the contiguous bit),
- the minimum alignment of the .data segment is THREAD_SIZE already, not
PAGE_SIZE (i.e., we already have padding between _data and the start of
the .data payload in many cases),
- 2 MB is a suitable alignment value on all granule sizes, either for
mapping directly (level 2 on 4 KB), or via the contiguous bit (level 3 on
16 KB and 64 KB),
- anything beyond 2 MB exceeds the minimum alignment mandated by the boot
protocol, and can only be mapped efficiently if the physical alignment
happens to be the same,
we can simplify this by standardizing on 64 KB (or 2 MB) explicitly, i.e.,
regardless of granule size, all segments are aligned either to 64 KB, or to
2 MB if CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA=y. This also means we can drop the Kconfig
dependency of CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA on CONFIG_ARM64_4K_PAGES.

Keeping .head.text out of the .text mapping buys us very little: its actual
payload is only 4 KB, most of which is padding, but the page alignment may
add up to 2 MB (in case of CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA=y) of additional
padding to the uncompressed kernel Image.
Also, on 4 KB granule kernels, the 4 KB misalignment of .text forces us to
map the adjacent 56 KB of code without the PTE_CONT attribute, and since
this region contains things like the vector table and the GIC interrupt
handling entry point, this region is likely to benefit from the reduced TLB
pressure that results from PTE_CONT mappings.
So remove the alignment between the .head.text and .text sections, and use
the [_text, _etext) rather than the [_stext, _etext) interval for mapping
the .text segment.

KASAN needs to know whether the allocation happens in an IRQ handler.
This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the
number of unique stack traces needed to be stored.
Move the definition of __irq_entry to <linux/interrupt.h> so that the
users don't need to pull in <linux/ftrace.h>. Also introduce the
__softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the
corresponding functions to the .softirqentry.text section.

The EFI stub is typically built into the decompressor (x86, ARM) so none
of its symbols are annotated as __init. However, on arm64, the stub is
linked into the kernel proper, and the code is __init annotated at the
section level by prepending all names of SHF_ALLOC sections with '.init'.
This results in section names like .init.rodata.str1.8 (for string literals)
and .init.bss (which is tiny), both of which can be moved into the .init.data
output section.

Currently we have separate ALIGN_DEBUG_RO{,_MIN} directives to align
_etext and __init_begin. While we ensure that __init_begin is
page-aligned, we do not provide the same guarantee for _etext. This is
not problematic currently as the alignment of __init_begin is sufficient
to prevent issues when we modify permissions.
Subsequent patches will assume page alignment of segments of the kernel
we wish to map with different permissions. To ensure this, move _etext
after the ALIGN_DEBUG_RO_MIN for the init section. This renders the
prior ALIGN_DEBUG_RO irrelevant, and hence it is removed. Likewise,
upgrade to ALIGN_DEBUG_RO_MIN(PAGE_SIZE) for _stext.

Currently we treat the alternatives separately from other data that's
only used during initialisation, using separate .altinstructions and
.altinstr_replacement linker sections. These are freed for general
allocation separately from .init*. This is problematic as:
* We do not remove execute permissions, as we do for .init, leaving the
memory executable.
* We pad between them, making the kernel Image bianry up to PAGE_SIZE
bytes larger than necessary.
This patch moves the two sections into the contiguous region used for
.init*. This saves some memory, ensures that we remove execute
permissions, and allows us to remove some code made redundant by this
reorganisation.

Currently we place an ALIGN_DEBUG_RO between text and data for the .text
and .init sections, and depending on configuration each of these may
result in up to SECTION_SIZE bytes worth of padding (for
DEBUG_RODATA_ALIGN).
We make no distinction between the text and data in each of these
sections at any point when creating the initial page tables in head.S.
We also make no distinction when modifying the tables; __map_memblock,
fixup_executable, mark_rodata_ro, and fixup_init only work at section
granularity. Thus this padding is unnecessary.
For the spit between init text and data we impose a minimum alignment of
16 bytes, but this is also unnecessary. The init data is output
immediately after the padding before any symbols are defined, so this is
not required to keep a symbol for linker a section array correctly
associated with the data. Any objects within the section will be given
at least their usual alignment regardless.
This patch removes the redundant padding.

A kernel built with DEBUG_RO_DATA && !CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA doesn't
have .text aligned to a page boundary, though fixup_executable works at
page-granularity thanks to its use of create_mapping. If .text is not

leading to failures when an attempt is made to execute code in said
page.
This patch upgrades ALIGN_DEBUG_RO and ALIGN_DEBUG_RO_MIN to force page

Commit ea8c2e112445 ("arm64: Extend the idmap to the whole kernel
image") changed the early page table code so that the entire kernel
Image is covered by the identity map. This allows functions that
need to enable or disable the MMU to reside anywhere in the kernel
Image.
However, this change has the unfortunate side effect that the Image
cannot cross a physical 512 MB alignment boundary anymore, since the
early page table code cannot deal with the Image crossing a /virtual/
512 MB alignment boundary.
So instead, reduce the ID map to a single page, that is populated by
the contents of the .idmap.text section. Only three functions reside
there at the moment: __enable_mmu(), cpu_resume_mmu() and cpu_reset().
If new code is introduced that needs to manipulate the MMU state, it
should be added to this section as well.

The HYP init bounce page is a runtime construct that ensures that the
HYP init code does not cross a page boundary. However, this is something
we can do perfectly well at build time, by aligning the code appropriately.
For arm64, we just align to 4 KB, and enforce that the code size is less
than 4 KB, regardless of the chosen page size.
For ARM, the whole code is less than 256 bytes, so we tweak the linker
script to align at a power of 2 upper bound of the code size
Note that this also fixes a benign off-by-one error in the original bounce
page code, where a bounce page would be allocated unnecessarily if the code
was exactly 1 page in size.
On ARM, it also fixes an issue with very large kernels reported by Arnd
Bergmann, where stub sections with linker emitted veneers could erroneously
trigger the size/alignment ASSERT() in the linker script.

Add page protections for arm64 similar to those in arm.
This is for security reasons to prevent certain classes
of exploits. The current method:
- Map all memory as either RWX or RW. We round to the nearest
section to avoid creating page tables before everything is mapped
- Once everything is mapped, if either end of the RWX section should
not be X, we split the PMD and remap as necessary
- When initmem is to be freed, we change the permissions back to
RW (using stop machine if necessary to flush the TLB)
- If CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is set, the read only sections are set
read only.

The arm64 Image header contains a text_offset field which bootloaders
are supposed to read to determine the offset (from a 2MB aligned "start
of memory" per booting.txt) at which to load the kernel. The offset is
not well respected by bootloaders at present, and due to the lack of
variation there is little incentive to support it. This is unfortunate
for the sake of future kernels where we may wish to vary the text offset
(even zeroing it).
This patch adds options to arm64 to enable fuzz-testing of text_offset.
CONFIG_ARM64_RANDOMIZE_TEXT_OFFSET forces the text offset to a random
16-byte aligned value value in the range [0..2MB) upon a build of the
kernel. It is recommended that distribution kernels enable randomization
to test bootloaders such that any compliance issues can be fixed early.

Currently the kernel Image is stripped of everything past the initial
stack, and at runtime the memory is initialised and used by the kernel.
This makes the effective minimum memory footprint of the kernel larger
than the size of the loaded binary, though bootloaders have no mechanism
to identify how large this minimum memory footprint is. This makes it
difficult to choose safe locations to place both the kernel and other
binaries required at boot (DTB, initrd, etc), such that the kernel won't
clobber said binaries or other reserved memory during initialisation.
Additionally when big endian support was added the image load offset was
overlooked, and is currently of an arbitrary endianness, which makes it
difficult for bootloaders to make use of it. It seems that bootloaders
aren't respecting the image load offset at present anyway, and are
assuming that offset 0x80000 will always be correct.
This patch adds an effective image size to the kernel header which
describes the amount of memory from the start of the kernel Image binary
which the kernel expects to use before detecting memory and handling any
memory reservations. This can be used by bootloaders to choose suitable
locations to load the kernel and/or other binaries such that the kernel
will not clobber any memory unexpectedly. As before, memory reservations
are required to prevent the kernel from clobbering these locations
later.
Both the image load offset and the effective image size are forced to be
little-endian regardless of the native endianness of the kernel to
enable bootloaders to load a kernel of arbitrary endianness. Bootloaders
which wish to make use of the load offset can inspect the effective
image size field for a non-zero value to determine if the offset is of a
known endianness. To enable software to determine the endinanness of the
kernel as may be required for certain use-cases, a new flags field (also
little-endian) is added to the kernel header to export this information.
The documentation is updated to clarify these details. To discourage
future assumptions regarding the value of text_offset, the value at this
point in time is removed from the main flow of the documentation (though
kept as a compatibility note). Some minor formatting issues in the
documentation are also corrected.

Currently we place swapper_pg_dir and idmap_pg_dir below the kernel
image, between PHYS_OFFSET and (PHYS_OFFSET + TEXT_OFFSET). However,
bootloaders may use portions of this memory below the kernel and we do
not parse the memory reservation list until after the MMU has been
enabled. As such we may clobber some memory a bootloader wishes to have
preserved.
To enable the use of all of this memory by bootloaders (when the
required memory reservations are communicated to the kernel) it is
necessary to move our initial page tables elsewhere. As we currently
have an effectively unbound requirement for memory at the end of the
kernel image for .bss, we can place the page tables here.
This patch moves the initial page table to the end of the kernel image,
after the BSS. As they do not consist of any initialised data they will
be stripped from the kernel Image as with the BSS. The BSS clearing
routine is updated to stop at __bss_stop rather than _end so as to not
clobber the page tables, and memory reservations made redundant by the
new organisation are removed.

Change the arm64 linker script ENTRY() command to define _text as the
kernel entry point.
The arm64 boot protocol specifies that the kernel must be entered at the
beginning of the kernel image. The existing ENTRY() command defined the
symbol stext as the entry point, which emitted an incorrect entry point,

immediately jumps to stext.

The __data_loc variable is an unused left over from the 32 bit arm implementation.
Remove that variable and adjust the __mmap_switched startup routine accordingly.

We currently try to emit .comment twice, once in STABS_DEBUG, and once
in the line immediately following it. As the two section definitions are
identical, the latter is redundant and can be dropped.
This patch drops the redundant .comment section definition.

The .data section in the arm64 linker script currently lacks a
definition for page-aligned data. This leads to a .page_aligned
section being placed between the end of data and start of bss.
This patch corrects that by using the generic RW_DATA_SECTION
macro which includes support for page-aligned data.

The arm64 kernel has an internal holding pen, which is necessary for
some systems where we can't bring CPUs online individually and must hold
multiple CPUs in a safe area until the kernel is able to handle them.
The current SMP infrastructure for arm64 is closely coupled to this
holding pen, and alternative boot methods must launch CPUs into the pen,
where they sit before they are launched into the kernel proper.
With PSCI (and possibly other future boot methods), we can bring CPUs
online individually, and need not perform the secondary_holding_pen
dance. Instead, this patch factors the holding pen management code out
to the spin-table boot method code, as it is the only boot method
requiring the pen.
A new entry point for secondaries, secondary_entry is added for other
boot methods to use, which bypasses the holding pen and its associated
overhead when bringing CPUs online. The smp.pen.text section is also
removed, as the pen can live in head.text without problem.
The cpu_operations structure is extended with two new functions,
cpu_boot and cpu_postboot, for bringing a cpu into the kernel and
performing any post-boot cleanup required by a bootmethod (e.g.
resetting the secondary_holding_pen_release to INVALID_HWID).
Documentation is added for cpu_operations.

The current vmlinux.lds.S places the notes sections between the
end of rw data and start of bss. This means that _edata doesn't
really point to the end of data. Since notes are read-only, this
patch moves them to the read-only segment so that _edata does
point to the end of initialized rw data.

As is done for other architectures, sort the exception table at
build-time rather than during boot.
Since sortextable appears to be a standalone C program relying on the
host elf.h to provide EM_AARCH64, I've had to add a conditional check in
order to allow cross-compilation on machines that aren't running a
bleeding-edge libc-dev.

Add the necessary infrastructure for identity-mapped HYP page
tables. Idmap-ed code must be in the ".hyp.idmap.text" linker
section.
The rest of the HYP ends up in ".hyp.text".
