GCC appears to have kind of fragile inlining heuristics, in the
sense that it can change whether or not it inlines something based on
optimizations. It looks like the kcov instrumentation being added (or in
this case, removed) from a function changes the optimization results,
and some functions marked "inline" are _not_ inlined. In that case,
we end up with __init code calling a function not marked __init, and we
get the build warnings I'm trying to eliminate in the coming patch that
adds __no_sanitize_coverage to __init functions:

WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: acpi_get_enable_method+0x1c (section: .text.unlikely) -&gt; acpi_psci_present (section: .init.text)

This problem is somewhat fragile (though using either __always_inline
or __init will deterministically solve it), but we've tripped over
this before with GCC and the solution has usually been to just use
__always_inline and move on.

For arm64 this requires forcing one ACPI function to be inlined with
__always_inline.

In a review discussion of the changes to support vCPU hotplug where
a check was added on the GICC being enabled if was online, it was
noted that there is need to map back to the cpu and use that to index
into a cpumask. As such, a valid ID is needed.

If an MPIDR check fails in acpi_map_gic_cpu_interface() it is possible
for the entry in cpu_madt_gicc[cpu] == NULL.  This function would
then cause a NULL pointer dereference.   Whilst a path to trigger
this has not been established, harden this caller against the
possibility.

ACPI identifies CPUs by UID. get_cpu_for_acpi_id() maps the ACPI UID
to the Linux CPU number.

The helper to retrieve this mapping is only available in arm64's NUMA
code.

Move it to live next to get_acpi_id_for_cpu().

<title>cpuidle, ACPI: Evaluate LPI arch_flags for broadcast timer</title>

Arm® Functional Fixed Hardware Specification defines LPI states,
which provide an architectural context loss flags field that can
be used to describe the context that might be lost when an LPI
state is entered.

- Core context Lost
        - General purpose registers.
        - Floating point and SIMD registers.
        - System registers, include the System register based
        - generic timer for the core.
        - Debug register in the core power domain.
        - PMU registers in the core power domain.
        - Trace register in the core power domain.
- Trace context loss
- GICR
- GICD

Qualcomm's custom CPUs preserves the architectural state,
including keeping the power domain for local timers active.
when core is power gated, the local timers are sufficient to
wake the core up without needing broadcast timer.

The patch fixes the evaluation of cpuidle arch_flags, and moves only to
broadcast timer if core context lost is defined in ACPI LPI.

<content type='text'>
ACPI TRBE does not have a HID for identification which could create and add
a platform device into the platform bus. Also without a platform device, it
cannot be probed and bound to a platform driver.

This creates a dummy platform device for TRBE after ascertaining that ACPI
provides required interrupts uniformly across all cpus on the system. This
device gets created inside drivers/perf/arm_pmu_acpi.c to accommodate TRBE
being built as a module.

This reverts commit 437b38c51162f8b87beb28a833c4d5dc85fa864e.

The memory semantics added in commit 437b38c51162 causes SystemMemory
Operation region, whose address range is not described in the EFI memory
map to be mapped as NormalNC memory on arm64 platforms (through
acpi_os_map_memory() in acpi_ex_system_memory_space_handler()).

This triggers the following abort on an ARM64 Ampere eMAG machine,
because presumably the physical address range area backing the Opregion
does not support NormalNC memory attributes driven on the bus.

If the Opregion address range is not present in the EFI memory map there
is no way for us to determine the memory attributes to use to map it -
defaulting to NormalNC does not work (and it is not correct on a memory
region that may have read side-effects) and therefore commit
437b38c51162 should be reverted, which means reverting back to the
original behavior whereby address ranges that are mapped using
acpi_os_map_memory() default to the safe devicenGnRnE attributes on
ARM64 if the mapped address range is not defined in the EFI memory map.

<content type='text'>
The memory attributes attached to memory regions depend on architecture
specific mappings.

For some memory regions, the attributes specified by firmware (eg
uncached) are not sufficient to determine how a memory region should be
mapped by an OS (for instance a region that is define as uncached in
firmware can be mapped as Normal or Device memory on arm64) and
therefore the OS must be given control on how to map the region to match
the expected mapping behaviour (eg if a mapping is requested with memory
semantics, it must allow unaligned accesses).

Rework acpi_os_map_memory() and acpi_os_ioremap() back-end to split
them into two separate code paths:

acpi_os_memmap() -&gt; memory semantics
acpi_os_ioremap() -&gt; MMIO semantics

The split allows the architectural implementation back-ends to detect
the default memory attributes required by the mapping in question
(ie the mapping API defines the semantics memory vs MMIO) and map the
memory accordingly.

<title>arm64/acpi: disallow AML memory opregions to access kernel memory</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1583052d111f8ea43f9954c5e749164fd2b954af</id>
<content type='text'>
AML uses SystemMemory opregions to allow AML handlers to access MMIO
registers of, e.g., GPIO controllers, or access reserved regions of
memory that are owned by the firmware.

Currently, we also allow AML access to memory that is owned by the
kernel and mapped via the linear region, which does not seem to be
supported by a valid use case, and exposes the kernel's internal
state to AML methods that may be buggy and exploitable.

On arm64, ACPI support requires booting in EFI mode, and so we can cross
reference the requested region against the EFI memory map, rather than
just do a minimal check on the first page. So let's only permit regions
to be remapped by the ACPI core if
- they don't appear in the EFI memory map at all (which is the case for
  most MMIO), or
- they are covered by a single region in the EFI memory map, which is not
  of a type that describes memory that is given to the kernel at boot.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:

 - arm64 support for syscall emulation via PTRACE_SYSEMU{,_SINGLESTEP}

 - Wire up VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS for arm64, allowing the core code to
   manage the permissions of executable vmalloc regions more strictly

 - Slight performance improvement by keeping softirqs enabled while
   touching the FPSIMD/SVE state (kernel_neon_begin/end)

 - Expose a couple of ARMv8.5 features to user (HWCAP): CondM (new
   XAFLAG and AXFLAG instructions for floating point comparison flags
   manipulation) and FRINT (rounding floating point numbers to integers)

 - Re-instate ARM64_PSEUDO_NMI support which was previously marked as
   BROKEN due to some bugs (now fixed)

 - Improve parking of stopped CPUs and implement an arm64-specific
   panic_smp_self_stop() to avoid warning on not being able to stop
   secondary CPUs during panic

 - perf: enable the ARM Statistical Profiling Extensions (SPE) on ACPI
   platforms

 - perf: DDR performance monitor support for iMX8QXP

 - cache_line_size() can now be set from DT or ACPI/PPTT if provided to
   cope with a system cache info not exposed via the CPUID registers

 - Avoid warning on hardware cache line size greater than
   ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN if the system is fully coherent

 - arm64 do_page_fault() and hugetlb cleanups

 - Refactor set_pte_at() to avoid redundant READ_ONCE(*ptep)

 - Ignore ACPI 5.1 FADTs reported as 5.0 (infer from the
   'arm_boot_flags' introduced in 5.1)

 - CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE now enabled in defconfig

 - Allow the selection of ARM64_MODULE_PLTS, currently only done via
   RANDOMIZE_BASE (and an erratum workaround), allowing modules to spill
   over into the vmalloc area

 - Make ZONE_DMA32 configurable
