Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas: "These are the arm64 updates for 6.19. The biggest part is the Arm MPAM driver under drivers/resctrl/. There's a patch touching mm/ to handle spurious faults for huge pmd (similar to the pte version). The corresponding arm64 part allows us to avoid the TLB maintenance if a (huge) page is reused after a write fault. There's EFI refactoring to allow runtime services with preemption enabled and the rest is the usual perf/PMU updates and several cleanups/typos. Summary: Core features: - Basic Arm MPAM (Memory system resource Partitioning And Monitoring) driver under drivers/resctrl/ which makes use of the fs/rectrl/ API Perf and PMU: - Avoid cycle counter on multi-threaded CPUs - Extend CSPMU device probing and add additional filtering support for NVIDIA implementations - Add support for the PMUs on the NoC S3 interconnect - Add additional compatible strings for new Cortex and C1 CPUs - Add support for data source filtering to the SPE driver - Add support for i.MX8QM and "DB" PMU in the imx PMU driver Memory managemennt: - Avoid broadcast TLBI if page reused in write fault - Elide TLB invalidation if the old PTE was not valid - Drop redundant cpu_set_*_tcr_t0sz() macros - Propagate pgtable_alloc() errors outside of __create_pgd_mapping() - Propagate return value from __change_memory_common() ACPI and EFI: - Call EFI runtime services without disabling preemption - Remove unused ACPI function Miscellaneous: - ptrace support to disable streaming on SME-only systems - Improve sysreg generation to include a 'Prefix' descriptor - Replace __ASSEMBLY__ with __ASSEMBLER__ - Align register dumps in the kselftest zt-test - Remove some no longer used macros/functions - Various spelling corrections" * tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: (94 commits) arm64/mm: Document why linear map split failure upon vm_reset_perms is not problematic arm64/pageattr: Propagate return value from __change_memory_common arm64/sysreg: Remove unused define ARM64_FEATURE_FIELD_BITS KVM: arm64: selftests: Consider all 7 possible levels of cache KVM: arm64: selftests: Remove ARM64_FEATURE_FIELD_BITS and its last user arm64: atomics: lse: Remove unused parameters from ATOMIC_FETCH_OP_AND macros Documentation/arm64: Fix the typo of register names ACPI: GTDT: Get rid of acpi_arch_timer_mem_init() perf: arm_spe: Add support for filtering on data source perf: Add perf_event_attr::config4 perf/imx_ddr: Add support for PMU in DB (system interconnects) perf/imx_ddr: Get and enable optional clks perf/imx_ddr: Move ida_alloc() from ddr_perf_init() to ddr_perf_probe() dt-bindings: perf: fsl-imx-ddr: Add compatible string for i.MX8QM, i.MX8QXP and i.MX8DXL arm64: remove duplicate ARCH_HAS_MEM_ENCRYPT arm64: mm: use untagged address to calculate page index MAINTAINERS: new entry for MPAM Driver arm_mpam: Add kunit tests for props_mismatch() arm_mpam: Add kunit test for bitmap reset arm_mpam: Add helper to reset saved mbwu state ...

arm64: Replace ASSEMBLY with ASSEMBLER in non-uapi headers

2025-11-11T19:35:59+00:00

While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__ automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel. This can be very confusing when switching between userspace and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize now on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers. This is a mostly mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i" statement), except for the following files where comments with mis-spelled macros were tweaked manually: arch/arm64/include/asm/stacktrace/frame.h arch/arm64/include/asm/kvm_ptrauth.h arch/arm64/include/asm/debug-monitors.h arch/arm64/include/asm/esr.h arch/arm64/include/asm/scs.h arch/arm64/include/asm/memory.h Signed-off-by: Thomas Huth Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas

arm64: Reject modules with internal alternative callbacks

2025-11-07T15:00:14+00:00

During module loading, check if a callback function used by the alternatives specified in the '.altinstruction' ELF section (if present) is located in core kernel .text. If not fail module loading before callback is called.

The uao_* alternative asm macros are only used by the uaccess assembly routines in arch/arm64/lib/, where they are included indirectly via asm-uaccess.h. Since they're specific to the uaccess assembly (and will lose the alternatives in subsequent patches), let's move them into asm-uaccess.h. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

arm64/alternatives: move length validation inside the subsection

2020-07-30T15:50:14+00:00

Commit f7b93d42945c ("arm64/alternatives: use subsections for replacement sequences") breaks LLVM's integrated assembler, because due to its one-pass design, it cannot compute instruction sequence lengths before the layout for the subsection has been finalized. This change fixes the build by moving the .org directives inside the subsection, so they are processed after the subsection layout is known.

arm64/alternatives: use subsections for replacement sequences

2020-07-02T11:57:17+00:00

When building very large kernels, the logic that emits replacement sequences for alternatives fails when relative branches are present in the code that is emitted into the .altinstr_replacement section and patched in at the original site and fixed up. The reason is that the linker will insert veneers if relative branches go out of range, and due to the relative distance of the .altinstr_replacement from the .text section where its branch targets usually live, veneers may be emitted at the end of the .altinstr_replacement section, with the relative branches in the sequence pointed at the veneers instead of the actual target. The alternatives patching logic will attempt to fix up the branch to point to its original target, which will be the veneer in this case, but given that the patch site is likely to be far away as well, it will be out of range and so patching will fail. There are other cases where these veneers are problematic, e.g., when the target of the branch is in .text while the patch site is in .init.text, in which case putting the replacement sequence inside .text may not help either. So let's use subsections to emit the replacement code as closely as possible to the patch site, to ensure that veneers are only likely to be emitted if they are required at the patch site as well, in which case they will be in range for the replacement sequence both before and after it is transported to the patch site. This will prevent alternative sequences in non-init code from being released from memory after boot, but this is tolerable given that the entire section is only 512 KB on an allyesconfig build (which weighs in at 500+ MB for the entire Image). Also, note that modules today carry the replacement sequences in non-init sections as well, and any of those that target init code will be emitted into init sections after this change. This fixes an early crash when booting an allyesconfig kernel on a system where any of the alternatives sequences containing relative branches are activated at boot (e.g., ARM64_HAS_PAN on TX2) Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel Cc: Suzuki K Poulose Cc: James Morse Cc: Andre Przywara Cc: Dave P Martin Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200630081921.13443-1-ardb@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Will Deacon
