arm64: errata: Expand speculative SSBS workaround once more

2024-10-17T13:08:26+00:00

[ Upstream commit 081eb7932c2b244f63317a982c5e3990e2c7fbdd ] A number of Arm Ltd CPUs suffer from errata whereby an MSR to the SSBS special-purpose register does not affect subsequent speculative instructions, permitting speculative store bypassing for a window of time. We worked around this for a number of CPUs in commits: * 7187bb7d0b5c7dfa ("arm64: errata: Add workaround for Arm errata 3194386 and 3312417") * 75b3c43eab594bfb ("arm64: errata: Expand speculative SSBS workaround") * 145502cac7ea70b5 ("arm64: errata: Expand speculative SSBS workaround (again)") Since then, a (hopefully final) batch of updates have been published, with two more affected CPUs. For the affected CPUs the existing mitigation is sufficient, as described in their respective Software Developer Errata Notice (SDEN) documents: * Cortex-A715 (MP148) SDEN v15.0, erratum 3456084 https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-2148827/1500/ * Neoverse-N3 (MP195) SDEN v5.0, erratum 3456111 https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-3050973/0500/ Enable the existing mitigation by adding the relevant MIDRs to erratum_spec_ssbs_list, and update silicon-errata.rst and the Kconfig text accordingly.

arm64: cpufeature: Fix the visibility of compat hwcaps

2024-08-19T03:41:23+00:00

commit 85f1506337f0c79a4955edfeee86a18628e3735f upstream. Commit 237405ebef58 ("arm64: cpufeature: Force HWCAP to be based on the sysreg visible to user-space") forced the hwcaps to use sanitised user-space view of the id registers. However, the ID register structures used to select few compat cpufeatures (vfp, crc32, ...) are masked and hence such hwcaps do not appear in /proc/cpuinfo anymore for PER_LINUX32 personality. Add the ID register structures explicitly and set the relevant entry as visible. As these ID registers are now of type visible so make them available in 64-bit userspace by making necessary changes in register emulation logic and documentation. While at it, update the comment for structure ftr_generic_32bits[] which lists the ID register that use it.

arm64: errata: Expand speculative SSBS workaround (again)

On parts without SB, it is necessary to use ISB for the workaround. The spec_bar() macro used in the mitigation will expand to a "DSB SY; ISB" sequence in this case, which is sufficient on all affected parts. Enable the existing mitigation by adding the relevant MIDRs to erratum_spec_ssbs_list. The list is sorted alphanumerically (involving moving Neoverse-V3 after Neoverse-V2) so that this is easy to audit and potentially extend again in future. The Kconfig text is also updated to clarify the set of affected parts and the mitigation.

arm64: errata: Unify speculative SSBS errata logic

2024-08-19T03:41:15+00:00

[ Upstream commit ec768766608092087dfb5c1fc45a16a6f524dee2 ] Cortex-X4 erratum 3194386 and Neoverse-V3 erratum 3312417 are identical, with duplicate Kconfig text and some unsightly ifdeffery. While we try to share code behind CONFIG_ARM64_WORKAROUND_SPECULATIVE_SSBS, having separate options results in a fair amount of boilerplate code, and this will only get worse as we expand the set of affected CPUs. To reduce this boilerplate, unify the two behind a common Kconfig option. This removes the duplicate text and Kconfig logic, and removes the need for the intermediate ARM64_WORKAROUND_SPECULATIVE_SSBS option. The set of affected CPUs is described as a list so that this can easily be extended. I've used ARM64_ERRATUM_3194386 (matching the Neoverse-V3 erratum ID) as the common option, matching the way we use ARM64_ERRATUM_1319367 to cover Cortex-A57 erratum 1319537 and Cortex-A72 erratum 1319367.

arm64: errata: Add workaround for Arm errata 3194386 and 3312417

perf/smmuv3: Enable HiSilicon Erratum 162001900 quirk for HIP08/09

[ Upstream commit 0242737dc4eb9f6e9a5ea594b3f93efa0b12f28d ] Some HiSilicon SMMU PMCG suffers the erratum 162001900 that the PMU disable control sometimes fail to disable the counters. This will lead to error or inaccurate data since before we enable the counters the counter's still counting for the event used in last perf session. This patch tries to fix this by hardening the global disable process. Before disable the PMU, writing an invalid event type (0xffff) to focibly stop the counters. Correspondingly restore each events on pmu::pmu_enable().

arm64: errata: Remove AES hwcap for COMPAT tasks

2022-10-30T08:41:16+00:00

commit 44b3834b2eed595af07021b1c64e6f9bc396398b upstream. Cortex-A57 and Cortex-A72 have an erratum where an interrupt that occurs between a pair of AES instructions in aarch32 mode may corrupt the ELR. The task will subsequently produce the wrong AES result. The AES instructions are part of the cryptographic extensions, which are optional. User-space software will detect the support for these instructions from the hwcaps. If the platform doesn't support these instructions a software implementation should be used. Remove the hwcap bits on affected parts to indicate user-space should not use the AES instructions.

arm64: errata: add detection for AMEVCNTR01 incrementing incorrectly

2022-09-15T09:32:06+00:00

commit e89d120c4b720e232cc6a94f0fcbd59c15d41489 upstream. The AMU counter AMEVCNTR01 (constant counter) should increment at the same rate as the system counter. On affected Cortex-A510 cores, AMEVCNTR01 increments incorrectly giving a significantly higher output value. This results in inaccurate task scheduler utilization tracking and incorrect feedback on CPU frequency. Work around this problem by returning 0 when reading the affected counter in key locations that results in disabling all users of this counter from using it either for frequency invariance or as FFH reference counter. This effect is the same to firmware disabling affected counters. Details on how the two features are affected by this erratum: - AMU counters will not be used for frequency invariance for affected CPUs and CPUs in the same cpufreq policy. AMUs can still be used for frequency invariance for unaffected CPUs in the system. Although unlikely, if no alternative method can be found to support frequency invariance for affected CPUs (cpufreq based or solution based on platform counters) frequency invariance will be disabled. Please check the chapter on frequency invariance at Documentation/scheduler/sched-capacity.rst for details of its effect. - Given that FFH can be used to fetch either the core or constant counter values, restrictions are lifted regarding any of these counters returning a valid (!0) value. Therefore FFH is considered supported if there is a least one CPU that support AMUs, independent of any counters being disabled or affected by this erratum. Clarifying comments are now added to the cpc_ffh_supported(), cpu_read_constcnt() and cpu_read_corecnt() functions. The above is achieved through adding a new erratum: ARM64_ERRATUM_2457168.
