<content type='text'>
commit 90268574a3e8a6b883bd802d702a2738577e1006 upstream.

The `compute_indices` and `populate_entries` macros operate on inclusive
bounds, and thus the `map_memory` macro which uses them also operates
on inclusive bounds.

We pass `_end` and `_idmap_text_end` to `map_memory`, but these are
exclusive bounds, and if one of these is sufficiently aligned (as a
result of kernel configuration, physical placement, and KASLR), then:

* In `compute_indices`, the computed `iend` will be in the page/block *after*
  the final byte of the intended mapping.

* In `populate_entries`, an unnecessary entry will be created at the end
  of each level of table. At the leaf level, this entry will map up to
  SWAPPER_BLOCK_SIZE bytes of physical addresses that we did not intend
  to map.

As we may map up to SWAPPER_BLOCK_SIZE bytes more than intended, we may
violate the boot protocol and map physical address past the 2MiB-aligned
end address we are permitted to map. As we map these with Normal memory
attributes, this may result in further problems depending on what these
physical addresses correspond to.

The final entry at each level may require an additional table at that
level. As EARLY_ENTRIES() calculates an inclusive bound, we allocate
enough memory for this.

Avoid the extraneous mapping by having map_memory convert the exclusive
end address to an inclusive end address by subtracting one, and do
likewise in EARLY_ENTRIES() when calculating the number of required
tables. For clarity, comments are updated to more clearly document which
boundaries the macros operate on.  For consistency with the other
macros, the comments in map_memory are also updated to describe `vstart`
and `vend` as virtual addresses.

<title>arm64: consistently use reserved_pg_dir</title>

[ Upstream commit 833be850f1cabd0e3b5337c0fcab20a6e936dd48 ]

Depending on configuration options and specific code paths, we either
use the empty_zero_page or the configuration-dependent reserved_ttbr0
as a reserved value for TTBR{0,1}_EL1.

To simplify this code, let's always allocate and use the same
reserved_pg_dir, replacing reserved_ttbr0. Note that this is allocated
(and hence pre-zeroed), and is also marked as read-only in the kernel
Image mapping.

Keeping this separate from the empty_zero_page potentially helps with
robustness as the empty_zero_page is used in a number of cases where a
failure to map it read-only could allow it to become corrupted.

The (presently unused) swapper_pg_end symbol is also removed, and
comments are added wherever we rely on the offsets between the
pre-allocated pg_dirs to keep these cases easily identifiable.

<title>arm64: get rid of TEXT_OFFSET</title>

TEXT_OFFSET serves no purpose, and for this reason, it was redefined
as 0x0 in the v5.8 timeframe. Since this does not appear to have caused
any issues that require us to revisit that decision, let's get rid of the
macro entirely, along with any references to it.

<content type='text'>
Although vmlinux.lds.S smells like an assembly file and is compiled
with __ASSEMBLY__ defined, it's actually just fed to the preprocessor to
create our linker script. This means that any assembly macros defined
by headers that it includes will result in a helpful link error:

| aarch64-linux-gnu-ld:./arch/arm64/kernel/vmlinux.lds:1: syntax error

In preparation for an arm64-private asm/rwonce.h implementation, which
will end up pulling assembly macros into linux/compiler.h, reduce the
number of headers we include directly and transitively in vmlinux.lds.S

Start with moving asm-generic/pgtable.h to include/linux/pgtable.h and
make the latter include asm/pgtable.h.

<title>arm64/mm: Separate boot-time page tables from swapper_pg_dir</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2b5548b68199c17c1466d5798cf2c9cd806bdaa9</id>
<content type='text'>
Since the address of swapper_pg_dir is fixed for a given kernel image,
it is an attractive target for manipulation via an arbitrary write. To
mitigate this we'd like to make it read-only by moving it into the
rodata section.

We require that swapper_pg_dir is at a fixed offset from tramp_pg_dir
and reserved_ttbr0, so these will also need to move into rodata.
However, swapper_pg_dir is allocated along with some transient page
tables used for boot which we do not want to move into rodata.

As a step towards this, this patch separates the boot-time page tables
into a new init_pg_dir, and reduces swapper_pg_dir to the single page it
needs to be. This allows us to retain the relationship between
swapper_pg_dir, tramp_pg_dir, and swapper_pg_dir, while cleanly
separating these from the boot-time page tables.

The init_pg_dir holds all of the pgd/pud/pmd/pte levels needed during
boot, and all of these levels will be freed when we switch to the
swapper_pg_dir, which is initialized by the existing code in
paging_init(). Since we start off on the init_pg_dir, we no longer need
to allocate a transient page table in paging_init() in order to ensure
that swapper_pg_dir isn't live while we initialize it.

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

To allow systems which do not require kpti to continue running with
global kernel mappings (which appears to be a requirement for Cavium
ThunderX due to a CPU erratum), make the use of nG in the kernel page
tables dependent on arm64_kernel_unmapped_at_el0(), which is resolved
at runtime.

<id>urn:sha1:0370b31e48454d8cf11120664aedd1c51b3004cb</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently the early assembler page table code assumes that precisely
1xpgd, 1xpud, 1xpmd are sufficient to represent the early kernel text
mappings.

Unfortunately this is rarely the case when running with a 16KB granule,
and we also run into limits with 4KB granule when building much larger
kernels.

This patch re-writes the early page table logic to compute indices of
mappings for each level of page table, and if multiple indices are
required, the next-level page table is scaled up accordingly.

Also the required size of the swapper_pg_dir is computed at link time
to cover the mapping [KIMAGE_ADDR + VOFFSET, _end]. When KASLR is
enabled, an extra page is set aside for each level that may require extra
entries at runtime.
