riscv: Move early dtb mapping into the fixmap region

2023-04-30T23:26:28+00:00

commit ef69d2559fe91f23d27a3d6fd640b5641787d22e upstream. riscv establishes 2 virtual mappings: - early_pg_dir maps the kernel which allows to discover the system memory - swapper_pg_dir installs the final mapping (linear mapping included) We used to map the dtb in early_pg_dir using DTB_EARLY_BASE_VA, and this mapping was not carried over in swapper_pg_dir. It happens that early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem() must be called before swapper_pg_dir is setup otherwise we could allocate reserved memory defined in the dtb. And this function initializes reserved_mem variable with addresses that lie in the early_pg_dir dtb mapping: when those addresses are reused with swapper_pg_dir, this mapping does not exist and then we trap. The previous "fix" was incorrect as early_init_fdt_scan_reserved_mem() must be called before swapper_pg_dir is set up otherwise we could allocate in reserved memory defined in the dtb. So move the dtb mapping in the fixmap region which is established in early_pg_dir and handed over to swapper_pg_dir. This patch had to be backported because: - the documentation for sv57 is not present here (as sv48/57 are not present) Fixes: 922b0375fc93 ("riscv: Fix memblock reservation for device tree blob") Fixes: 8f3a2b4a96dc ("RISC-V: Move DT mapping outof fixmap") Fixes: 50e63dd8ed92 ("riscv: fix reserved memory setup") Reported-by: Conor Dooley Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/f8e67f82-103d-156c-deb0-d6d6e2756f5e@microchip.com/ Signed-off-by: Alexandre Ghiti Reviewed-by: Conor Dooley Tested-by: Conor Dooley Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230329081932.79831-2-alexghiti@rivosinc.com Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 6.1.x Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

doc: RISC-V: Document that misaligned accesses are supported

2022-10-12T15:58:10+00:00

The RISC-V ISA manual used to mandate that misaligned accesses were supported in user mode, but that requirement was removed in 2018 via riscv-isa-manual commit 61cadb9 ("Provide new description of misaligned load/store behavior compatible with privileged architecture."). Since the Linux uABI was already frozen at that point it's just been demoted to part of the uABI, but that was never written down.

The existing pmu documentation describes the limitation of perf infrastructure in RISC-V ISA and limited feature set of perf in RISC-V. However, SBI PMU extension and sscofpmf extension(ISA extension) allows to implement most of the required features of perf. Remove the old documentation which is not accurate anymore.

riscv: Move KASAN mapping next to the kernel mapping

2022-01-20T01:54:04+00:00

Now that KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET is defined at compile time as a config, this value must remain constant whatever the size of the virtual address space, which is only possible by pushing this region at the end of the address space next to the kernel mapping.

But kernel is mapped in PMD SIZE, when bpf_jit_binary_lock_ro() is called to make the first bpf jit prog ROX, we will make part of kernel .data section RO too, so when we write to, for example memset the .data section, MMU will trigger a store page fault. To fix the issue, we need to ensure the BPF JIT region is PMD size aligned. This patch acchieve this goal by restoring the BPF JIT region to original position, I.E the 128MB before kernel .text section. The modification to kasan_init.c is inspired by Alexandre.
