arm64/efi: Don't fail check current_in_efi() if preemptible

2026-01-06T11:54:31+00:00

As EFI runtime services can now be run without disabling preemption remove the check for non preemptible in current_in_efi(). Without this change, firmware errors that were previously recovered from by __efi_runtime_kernel_fixup_exception() will lead to a kernel oops.

arm64/efi: Move uaccess en/disable out of efi_set_pgd()

2025-11-11T18:59:22+00:00

efi_set_pgd() will no longer be called when invoking EFI runtime services via the efi_rts_wq work queue, but the uaccess en/disable are still needed when using PAN emulation using TTBR0 switching. So move these into the callers. Acked-by: Will Deacon Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel Acked-by: Catalin Marinas Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas

Merge patch series "riscv: Introduce KASLR"

2023-09-08T18:25:13+00:00

Alexandre Ghiti says: The following KASLR implementation allows to randomize the kernel mapping: - virtually: we expect the bootloader to provide a seed in the device-tree - physically: only implemented in the EFI stub, it relies on the firmware to provide a seed using EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL. arm64 has a similar implementation hence the patch 3 factorizes KASLR related functions for riscv to take advantage. The new virtual kernel location is limited by the early page table that only has one PUD and with the PMD alignment constraint, the kernel can only take < 512 positions. * b4-shazam-merge: riscv: libstub: Implement KASLR by using generic functions libstub: Fix compilation warning for rv32 arm64: libstub: Move KASLR handling functions to kaslr.c riscv: Dump out kernel offset information on panic riscv: Introduce virtual kernel mapping KASLR Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230722123850.634544-1-alexghiti@rivosinc.com Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt

arm64: libstub: Move KASLR handling functions to kaslr.c

This prepares for riscv to use the same functions to handle the pĥysical kernel move when KASLR is enabled.

efi/arm64: Move EFI runtime call setup/teardown helpers out of line

2023-08-21T15:49:16+00:00

Only the arch_efi_call_virt() macro that some architectures override needs to be a macro, given that it is variadic and encapsulates calls via function pointers that have different prototypes. The associated setup and teardown code are not special in this regard, and don't need to be instantiated at each call site. So turn them into ordinary C functions and move them out of line.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas: - Support for arm64 SME 2 and 2.1. SME2 introduces a new 512-bit architectural register (ZT0, for the look-up table feature) that Linux needs to save/restore - Include TPIDR2 in the signal context and add the corresponding kselftests - Perf updates: Arm SPEv1.2 support, HiSilicon uncore PMU updates, ACPI support to the Marvell DDR and TAD PMU drivers, reset DTM_PMU_CONFIG (ARM CMN) at probe time - Support for DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS on arm64 - Permit EFI boot with MMU and caches on. Instead of cleaning the entire loaded kernel image to the PoC and disabling the MMU and caches before branching to the kernel bare metal entry point, leave the MMU and caches enabled and rely on EFI's cacheable 1:1 mapping of all of system RAM to populate the initial page tables - Expose the AArch32 (compat) ELF_HWCAP features to user in an arm64 kernel (the arm32 kernel only defines the values) - Harden the arm64 shadow call stack pointer handling: stash the shadow stack pointer in the task struct on interrupt, load it directly from this structure - Signal handling cleanups to remove redundant validation of size information and avoid reading the same data from userspace twice - Refactor the hwcap macros to make use of the automatically generated ID registers. It should make new hwcaps writing less error prone - Further arm64 sysreg conversion and some fixes - arm64 kselftest fixes and improvements - Pointer authentication cleanups: don't sign leaf functions, unify asm-arch manipulation - Pseudo-NMI code generation optimisations - Minor fixes for SME and TPIDR2 handling - Miscellaneous updates: ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER is now selectable, replace strtobool() to kstrtobool() in the cpufeature.c code, apply dynamic shadow call stack in two passes, intercept pfn changes in set_pte_at() without the required break-before-make sequence, attempt to dump all instructions on unhandled kernel faults * tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: (130 commits) arm64: fix .idmap.text assertion for large kernels kselftest/arm64: Don't require FA64 for streaming SVE+ZA tests kselftest/arm64: Copy whole EXTRA context arm64: kprobes: Drop ID map text from kprobes blacklist perf: arm_spe: Print the version of SPE detected perf: arm_spe: Add support for SPEv1.2 inverted event filtering perf: Add perf_event_attr::config3 arm64/sme: Fix __finalise_el2 SMEver check drivers/perf: fsl_imx8_ddr_perf: Remove set-but-not-used variable arm64/signal: Only read new data when parsing the ZT context arm64/signal: Only read new data when parsing the ZA context arm64/signal: Only read new data when parsing the SVE context arm64/signal: Avoid rereading context frame sizes arm64/signal: Make interface for restore_fpsimd_context() consistent arm64/signal: Remove redundant size validation from parse_user_sigframe() arm64/signal: Don't redundantly verify FPSIMD magic arm64/cpufeature: Use helper macros to specify hwcaps arm64/cpufeature: Always use symbolic name for feature value in hwcaps arm64/sysreg: Initial unsigned annotations for ID registers arm64/sysreg: Initial annotation of signed ID registers ...
