ARM: clean up the memset64() C wrapper

2026-03-13T16:20:36+00:00

commit b52343d1cb47bb27ca32a3f4952cc2fd3cd165bf upstream. The current logic to split the 64-bit argument into its 32-bit halves is byte-order specific and a bit clunky. Use a union instead which is easier to read and works in all cases. GCC still generates the same machine code. While at it, rename the arguments of the __memset64() prototype to actually reflect their semantics.

ARM: 9468/1: fix memset64() on big-endian

2026-02-11T12:40:16+00:00

commit 23ea2a4c72323feb6e3e025e8a6f18336513d5ad upstream. On big-endian systems the 32-bit low and high halves need to be swapped for the underlying assembly implementation to work correctly.

ARM: 9464/1: fix input-only operand modification in load_unaligned_zeropad()

2025-12-18T12:55:20+00:00

[ Upstream commit edb924a7211c9aa7a4a415e03caee4d875e46b8e ] In the inline assembly inside load_unaligned_zeropad(), the "addr" is constrained as input-only operand. The compiler assumes that on exit from the asm statement these operands contain the same values as they had before executing the statement, but when kernel page fault happened, the assembly fixup code "bic %2 %2, #0x3" modify the value of "addr", which may lead to an unexpected behavior. Use a temporary variable "tmp" to handle it, instead of modifying the input-only operand, just like what arm64's load_unaligned_zeropad() does.

ARM: 9443/1: Require linker to support KEEP within OVERLAY for DCE

2025-04-10T12:39:40+00:00

commit e7607f7d6d81af71dcc5171278aadccc94d277cd upstream. ld.lld prior to 21.0.0 does not support using the KEEP keyword within an overlay description, which may be needed to avoid discarding necessary sections within an overlay with '--gc-sections', which can be enabled for the kernel via CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION. Disallow CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION without support for KEEP within OVERLAY and introduce a macro, OVERLAY_KEEP, that can be used to conditionally add KEEP when it is properly supported to avoid breaking old versions of ld.lld.

ARM: 9444/1: add KEEP() keyword to ARM_VECTORS

2025-04-10T12:39:38+00:00

commit c3d944a367c0d9e4e125c7006e52f352e75776dc upstream. Without this, the vectors are removed if LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is enabled. At startup, the CPU (silently) hangs in the undefined instruction exception as soon as the first timer interrupt arrives. On my setup, the system also boots fine without the 2nd and 3rd KEEP() statements, so I cannot tell whether these are actually required.

move asm/unaligned.h to linux/unaligned.h

asm/unaligned.h is always an include of asm-generic/unaligned.h; might as well move that thing to linux/unaligned.h and include that - there's nothing arch-specific in that header. auto-generated by the following: for i in `git grep -l -w asm/unaligned.h`; do sed -i -e "s/asm\/unaligned.h/linux\/unaligned.h/" $i done for i in `git grep -l -w asm-generic/unaligned.h`; do sed -i -e "s/asm-generic\/unaligned.h/linux\/unaligned.h/" $i done git mv include/asm-generic/unaligned.h include/linux/unaligned.h git mv tools/include/asm-generic/unaligned.h tools/include/linux/unaligned.h sed -i -e "/unaligned.h/d" include/asm-generic/Kbuild sed -i -e "s/__ASM_GENERIC/__LINUX/" include/linux/unaligned.h tools/include/linux/unaligned.h

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon: "The highlights are support for Arm's "Permission Overlay Extension" using memory protection keys, support for running as a protected guest on Android as well as perf support for a bunch of new interconnect PMUs. Summary: ACPI: - Enable PMCG erratum workaround for HiSilicon HIP10 and 11 platforms. - Ensure arm64-specific IORT header is covered by MAINTAINERS. CPU Errata: - Enable workaround for hardware access/dirty issue on Ampere-1A cores. Memory management: - Define PHYSMEM_END to fix a crash in the amdgpu driver. - Avoid tripping over invalid kernel mappings on the kexec() path. - Userspace support for the Permission Overlay Extension (POE) using protection keys. Perf and PMUs: - Add support for the "fixed instruction counter" extension in the CPU PMU architecture. - Extend and fix the event encodings for Apple's M1 CPU PMU. - Allow LSM hooks to decide on SPE permissions for physical profiling. - Add support for the CMN S3 and NI-700 PMUs. Confidential Computing: - Add support for booting an arm64 kernel as a protected guest under Android's "Protected KVM" (pKVM) hypervisor. Selftests: - Fix vector length issues in the SVE/SME sigreturn tests - Fix build warning in the ptrace tests. Timers: - Add support for PR_{G,S}ET_TSC so that 'rr' can deal with non-determinism arising from the architected counter. Miscellaneous: - Rework our IPI-based CPU stopping code to try NMIs if regular IPIs don't succeed. - Minor fixes and cleanups" * tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: (94 commits) perf: arm-ni: Fix an NULL vs IS_ERR() bug arm64: hibernate: Fix warning for cast from restricted gfp_t arm64: esr: Define ESR_ELx_EC_* constants as UL arm64: pkeys: remove redundant WARN perf: arm_pmuv3: Use BR_RETIRED for HW branch event if enabled MAINTAINERS: List Arm interconnect PMUs as supported perf: Add driver for Arm NI-700 interconnect PMU dt-bindings/perf: Add Arm NI-700 PMU perf/arm-cmn: Improve format attr printing perf/arm-cmn: Clean up unnecessary NUMA_NO_NODE check arm64/mm: use lm_alias() with addresses passed to memblock_free() mm: arm64: document why pte is not advanced in contpte_ptep_set_access_flags() arm64: Expose the end of the linear map in PHYSMEM_END arm64: trans_pgd: mark PTEs entries as valid to avoid dead kexec() arm64/mm: Delete __init region from memblock.reserved perf/arm-cmn: Support CMN S3 dt-bindings: perf: arm-cmn: Add CMN S3 perf/arm-cmn: Refactor DTC PMU register access perf/arm-cmn: Make cycle counts less surprising perf/arm-cmn: Improve build-time assertion ...

ARM: 9417/1: dma-mapping: Pass device to arm_iommu_create_mapping()

2024-09-04T14:02:07+00:00

All users of ARM IOMMU mappings create them for a particular device, so change the interface to accept the device rather than forcing a vague indirection through a bus type. This prepares for making a similar change to iommu_domain_alloc() itself.
