arm64/boot: Enable EL2 requirements for FEAT_PMUv3p9

2025-04-25T08:48:04+00:00

commit 858c7bfcb35e1100b58bb63c9f562d86e09418d9 upstream. FEAT_PMUv3p9 registers such as PMICNTR_EL0, PMICFILTR_EL0, and PMUACR_EL1 access from EL1 requires appropriate EL2 fine grained trap configuration via FEAT_FGT2 based trap control registers HDFGRTR2_EL2 and HDFGWTR2_EL2. Otherwise such register accesses will result in traps into EL2. Add a new helper __init_el2_fgt2() which initializes FEAT_FGT2 based fine grained trap control registers HDFGRTR2_EL2 and HDFGWTR2_EL2 (setting the bits nPMICNTR_EL0, nPMICFILTR_EL0 and nPMUACR_EL1) to enable access into PMICNTR_EL0, PMICFILTR_EL0, and PMUACR_EL1 registers. Also update booting.rst with SCR_EL3.FGTEn2 requirement for all FEAT_FGT2 based registers to be accessible in EL2.

arm64: Filter out SVE hwcaps when FEAT_SVE isn't implemented

2025-02-17T09:05:04+00:00

commit 064737920bdbca86df91b96aed256e88018fef3a upstream. The hwcaps code that exposes SVE features to userspace only considers ID_AA64ZFR0_EL1, while this is only valid when ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.SVE advertises that SVE is actually supported. The expectations are that when ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.SVE is 0, the ID_AA64ZFR0_EL1 register is also 0. So far, so good. Things become a bit more interesting if the HW implements SME. In this case, a few ID_AA64ZFR0_EL1 fields indicate *SME* features. And these fields overlap with their SVE interpretations. But the architecture says that the SME and SVE feature sets must match, so we're still hunky-dory. This goes wrong if the HW implements SME, but not SVE. In this case, we end-up advertising some SVE features to userspace, even if the HW has none. That's because we never consider whether SVE is actually implemented. Oh well. Fix it by restricting all SVE capabilities to ID_AA64PFR0_EL1.SVE being non-zero. The HWCAPS documentation is amended to reflect the actually checks performed by the kernel.

[ Upstream commit f82e62d470cc990ebd9d691f931dd418e4e9cea9 ] When enabling GICv4.1 in hip09, VMAPP fails to clear some caches during the unmap operation, which can causes vSGIs to be lost.

x86/Documentation: Update algo in init_size description of boot protocol

2024-12-05T13:03:07+00:00

[ Upstream commit be4ca6c53e66cb275cf0d71f32dac0c4606b9dc0 ] The init_size description of boot protocol has an example of the runtime start address for the compressed bzImage. For non-relocatable kernel it relies on the pref_address value (if not 0), but for relocatable case only pays respect to the load_addres and kernel_alignment, and it is inaccurate for the latter. Boot loader must consider the pref_address as the Linux kernel relocates to it before being decompressed as nicely described in this commit message a year ago: 43b1d3e68ee7 ("kexec: Allocate kernel above bzImage's pref_address") Due to this documentation inaccuracy some of the bootloaders (*) made a mistake in the calculations and if kernel image is big enough, this may lead to unbootable configurations. *) In particular, kexec-tools missed that and resently got a couple of changes which will be part of v2.0.30 release. For the record, commit 43b1d3e68ee7 only fixed the kernel kexec implementation and also missed to update the init_size description. While at it, make an example C-like looking as it's done elsewhere in the document and fix indentation as presribed by the reStructuredText specifications, so the syntax highliting will work properly.
