Since commit 20af807d806d ("arm64: Avoid cpus_have_const_cap() for
ARM64_HAS_GIC_PRIO_MASKING"), the alternative.h include is not used,
so remove it.

<id>urn:sha1:20af807d806d13f4ab7795943587cf41257c649a</id>
<content type='text'>
In system_uses_irq_prio_masking() we use cpus_have_const_cap() to check
for ARM64_HAS_GIC_PRIO_MASKING, but this is not necessary and
alternative_has_cap_*() would be preferable.

For historical reasons, cpus_have_const_cap() is more complicated than
it needs to be. Before cpucaps are finalized, it will perform a bitmap
test of the system_cpucaps bitmap, and once cpucaps are finalized it
will use an alternative branch. This used to be necessary to handle some
race conditions in the window between cpucap detection and the
subsequent patching of alternatives and static branches, where different
branches could be out-of-sync with one another (or w.r.t. alternative
sequences). Now that we use alternative branches instead of static
branches, these are all patched atomically w.r.t. one another, and there
are only a handful of cases that need special care in the window between
cpucap detection and alternative patching.

Due to the above, it would be nice to remove cpus_have_const_cap(), and
migrate callers over to alternative_has_cap_*(), cpus_have_final_cap(),
or cpus_have_cap() depending on when their requirements. This will
remove redundant instructions and improve code generation, and will make
it easier to determine how each callsite will behave before, during, and
after alternative patching.

When CONFIG_ARM64_PSEUDO_NMI=y the ARM64_HAS_GIC_PRIO_MASKING cpucap is
a strict boot cpu feature which is detected and patched early on the
boot cpu, which both happen in smp_prepare_boot_cpu(). In the window
between the ARM64_HAS_GIC_PRIO_MASKING cpucap is detected and
alternatives are patched we don't run any code that depends upon the
ARM64_HAS_GIC_PRIO_MASKING cpucap:

* We leave DAIF.IF set until after boot alternatives are patched, and
  interrupts are unmasked later in init_IRQ(), so we cannot reach
  IRQ/FIQ entry code and will not use irqs_priority_unmasked().

* We don't call any code which uses arm_cpuidle_save_irq_context() and
  arm_cpuidle_restore_irq_context() during this window.

* We don't call start_thread_common() during this window.

* The local_irq_*() code in &lt;asm/irqflags.h&gt; depends solely on an
  alternative branch since commit:

  a5f61cc636f48bdf ("arm64: irqflags: use alternative branches for pseudo-NMI logic")

  ... and hence will use the default (DAIF-only) masking behaviour until
  alternatives are patched.

* Secondary CPUs are brought up later after alternatives are patched,
  and alternatives are patched on the boot CPU immediately prior to
  calling init_gic_priority_masking(), so we'll correctly initialize
  interrupt masking regardless.

This patch replaces the use of cpus_have_const_cap() with
alternative_has_cap_unlikely(), which avoid generating code to test the
system_cpucaps bitmap and should be better for all subsequent calls at
runtime. As this makes system_uses_irq_prio_masking() equivalent to
__irqflags_uses_pmr(), the latter is removed and replaced with the
former for consistency.

<id>urn:sha1:5235c7e2cfccb5bbd71aeda26240bb7877072782</id>
<content type='text'>
To more clearly align the various users of the cpucap enumeration, this patch
changes the alternative code to use the term `cpucap` in favour of `feature`.
The alternative_has_feature_{likely,unlikely}() functions are renamed to
alternative_has_cap_&lt;likely,unlikely}() to more clearly align with the
cpus_have_{const_,}cap() helpers.

At the same time remove the stale comment referring to the "ARM64_CB
bit", which is evidently a typo for ARM64_CB_PATCH, which was removed in
commit:

  4c0bd995d73ed889 ("arm64: alternatives: have callbacks take a cap")

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch; this is
purely a renaming exercise.

<id>urn:sha1:a5f61cc636f48bdf09450dba72c0bc914f9eed2f</id>
<content type='text'>
Due to the way we use alternatives in the irqflags code, even when
CONFIG_ARM64_PSEUDO_NMI=n, we generate unused alternative code for
pseudo-NMI management. This patch reworks the irqflags code to remove
the redundant code when CONFIG_ARM64_PSEUDO_NMI=n, which benefits the
more common case, and will permit further rework of our DAIF management
(e.g. in preparation for ARMv8.8-A's NMI feature).

Prior to this patch a defconfig kernel has hundreds of redundant
instructions to access ICC_PMR_EL1 (which should only need to be
manipulated in setup code), which this patch removes:

| [mark@lakrids:~/src/linux]% usekorg 12.1.0 aarch64-linux-objdump -d vmlinux-before-defconfig | grep icc_pmr_el1 | wc -l
| 885
| [mark@lakrids:~/src/linux]% usekorg 12.1.0 aarch64-linux-objdump -d vmlinux-after-defconfig | grep icc_pmr_el1 | wc -l
| 5

Those instructions alone account for more than 3KiB of kernel text, and
will be associated with additional alt_instr entries, padding and
branches, etc.

These redundant instructions exist because we use alternative sequences
for to choose between DAIF / PMR management in irqflags.h, and even when
CONFIG_ARM64_PSEUDO_NMI=n, those alternative sequences will generate the
code for PMR management, along with alt_instr entries. We use
alternatives here as this was necessary to ensure that we never
encounter a mismatched local_irq_save() ... local_irq_restore() sequence
in the middle of patching, which was possible to see if we used static
keys to choose between DAIF and PMR management.

Since commit:

  21fb26bfb01ffe0d ("arm64: alternatives: add alternative_has_feature_*()")

... we have a mechanism to use alternatives similarly to static keys,
allowing us to write the bulk of the logic in C code while also being
able to rely on all sites being patched in one go, and avoiding a
mismatched mismatched local_irq_save() ... local_irq_restore() sequence
during patching.

This patch rewrites arm64's local_irq_*() functions to use alternative
branches. This allows for the pseudo-NMI code to be entirely elided when
CONFIG_ARM64_PSEUDO_NMI=n, making a defconfig Image 64KiB smaller, and
not affectint the size of an Image with CONFIG_ARM64_PSEUDO_NMI=y:

| [mark@lakrids:~/src/linux]% ls -al vmlinux-*
| -rwxr-xr-x 1 mark mark 137473432 Jan 18 11:11 vmlinux-after-defconfig

| -rw-r--r-- 1 mark mark 38777344 Jan 18 11:08 Image-before-pnmi

Some sensitive code depends on being run with interrupts enabled or with
interrupts disabled, and so when enabling or disabling interrupts we
must ensure that the compiler does not move such code around the actual
enable/disable. Before this patch, that was ensured by the combined asm
volatile blocks having memory clobbers (and any sensitive code either
being asm volatile, or touching memory). This patch consistently uses
explicit barrier() operations before and after the enable/disable, which
allows us to use the usual sysreg accessors (which are asm volatile) to
manipulate the interrupt masks. The use of pmr_sync() is pulled within
this critical section for consistency.

Subsequent patches will add more GIC-related cpucaps. When we do so, it
would be nice to give them a consistent HAS_GIC_* prefix.

In preparation for doing so, this patch renames the existing
ARM64_HAS_IRQ_PRIO_MASKING cap to ARM64_HAS_GIC_PRIO_MASKING.

The cpucaps file was hand-modified; all other changes were scripted
with:

  find . -type f -name '*.[chS]' -print0 | \
    xargs -0 sed -i 's/ARM64_HAS_IRQ_PRIO_MASKING/ARM64_HAS_GIC_PRIO_MASKING/'

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Apple SoCs (A11 and newer) have some interrupt sources hardwired to the
FIQ line. We implement support for this by simply treating IRQs and FIQs
the same way in the interrupt vectors.

To support these systems, the FIQ mask bit needs to be kept in sync with
the IRQ mask bit, so both kinds of exceptions are masked together. No
other platforms should be delivering FIQ exceptions right now, and we
already unmask FIQ in normal process context, so this should not have an
effect on other systems - if spurious FIQs were arriving, they would
already panic the kernel.

The GICv3 architecture specification is incredibly misleading when it
comes to PMR and the requirement for a DSB. It turns out that this DSB
is only required if the CPU interface sends an Upstream Control
message to the redistributor in order to update the RD's view of PMR.

This message is only sent when ICC_CTLR_EL1.PMHE is set, which isn't
the case in Linux. It can still be set from EL3, so some special care
is required. But the upshot is that in the (hopefuly large) majority
of the cases, we can drop the DSB altogether.

This relies on a new static key being set if the boot CPU has PMHE
set. The drawback is that this static key has to be exported to
modules.

For a number of years, UAPI headers have been split from kernel-internal
headers. The latter are never exposed to userspace, and always built
with __KERNEL__ defined.

Most headers under arch/arm64 don't have __KERNEL__ guards, but there
are a few stragglers lying around. To make things more consistent, and
to set a good example going forward, let's remove these redundant
__KERNEL__ guards.

In a couple of cases, a trailing #endif lacked a comment describing its
corresponding #if or #ifdef, so these are fixes up at the same time.

Guards in auto-generated crypto code are left as-is, as these guards are
generated by scripting imported from the upstream openssl project
scripts. Guards in UAPI headers are left as-is, as these can be included
by userspace or the kernel.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

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
