<id>urn:sha1:d75fa3c9475048356e50357e8a71745e5c1bd740</id>
<content type='text'>
In future we intend to change the vm_flags_t type, so it isn't correct for
architecture and driver code to assume it is unsigned long.  Correct this
assumption across the board.

Overall, this patch does not introduce any functional change.

The commit 5de195060b2e ("mm: resolve faulty mmap_region() error path
behaviour") moved vm flags validation before fop-&gt;mmap for file
mappings.  But when commit 25c17c4b55de ("hugetlb: arm64: add mte support")
was rebased on top of it, the hugetlbfs part was missed.  Mmapping
hugetlbfs file may not have MAP_HUGETLB set.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:

 - Support for running Linux in a protected VM under the Arm
   Confidential Compute Architecture (CCA)

 - Guarded Control Stack user-space support. Current patches follow the
   x86 ABI of implicitly creating a shadow stack on clone(). Subsequent
   patches (already on the list) will add support for clone3() allowing
   finer-grained control of the shadow stack size and placement from
   libc

 - AT_HWCAP3 support (not running out of HWCAP2 bits yet but we are
   getting close with the upcoming dpISA support)

 - Other arch features:

     - In-kernel use of the memcpy instructions, FEAT_MOPS (previously
       only exposed to user; uaccess support not merged yet)

     - MTE: hugetlbfs support and the corresponding kselftests

     - Optimise CRC32 using the PMULL instructions

     - Support for FEAT_HAFT enabling ARCH_HAS_NONLEAF_PMD_YOUNG

     - Optimise the kernel TLB flushing to use the range operations

     - POE/pkey (permission overlays): further cleanups after bringing
       the signal handler in line with the x86 behaviour for 6.12

 - arm64 perf updates:

     - Support for the NXP i.MX91 PMU in the existing IMX driver

     - Support for Ampere SoCs in the Designware PCIe PMU driver

     - Support for Marvell's 'PEM' PCIe PMU present in the 'Odyssey' SoC

     - Support for Samsung's 'Mongoose' CPU PMU

     - Support for PMUv3.9 finer-grained userspace counter access
       control

     - Switch back to platform_driver::remove() now that it returns
       'void'

     - Add some missing events for the CXL PMU driver

 - Miscellaneous arm64 fixes/cleanups:

     - Page table accessors cleanup: type updates, drop unused macros,
       reorganise arch_make_huge_pte() and clean up pte_mkcont(), sanity
       check addresses before runtime P4D/PUD folding

     - Command line override for ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1.ECV (advertising the
       FEAT_ECV for the generic timers) allowing Linux to boot with
       firmware deployments that don't set SCTLR_EL3.ECVEn

     - ACPI/arm64: tighten the check for the array of platform timer
       structures and adjust the error handling procedure in
       gtdt_parse_timer_block()

     - Optimise the cache flush for the uprobes xol slot (skip if no
       change) and other uprobes/kprobes cleanups

     - Fix the context switching of tpidrro_el0 when kpti is enabled

     - Dynamic shadow call stack fixes

     - Sysreg updates

     - Various arm64 kselftest improvements

<title>mm: refactor arch_calc_vm_flag_bits() and arm64 MTE handling</title>
<updated>2024-11-06T00:49:55+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Lorenzo Stoakes</name>
<email>lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com</email>
</author>
<published>2024-10-29T18:11:47+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.radix-linux.su/kernel/linux.git/commit/?id=5baf8b037debf4ec60108ccfeccb8636d1dbad81'/>
<id>urn:sha1:5baf8b037debf4ec60108ccfeccb8636d1dbad81</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently MTE is permitted in two circumstances (desiring to use MTE
having been specified by the VM_MTE flag) - where MAP_ANONYMOUS is
specified, as checked by arch_calc_vm_flag_bits() and actualised by
setting the VM_MTE_ALLOWED flag, or if the file backing the mapping is
shmem, in which case we set VM_MTE_ALLOWED in shmem_mmap() when the mmap
hook is activated in mmap_region().

The function that checks that, if VM_MTE is set, VM_MTE_ALLOWED is also
set is the arm64 implementation of arch_validate_flags().

Unfortunately, we intend to refactor mmap_region() to perform this check
earlier, meaning that in the case of a shmem backing we will not have
invoked shmem_mmap() yet, causing the mapping to fail spuriously.

It is inappropriate to set this architecture-specific flag in general mm
code anyway, so a sensible resolution of this issue is to instead move the
check somewhere else.

We resolve this by setting VM_MTE_ALLOWED much earlier in do_mmap(), via
the arch_calc_vm_flag_bits() call.

This is an appropriate place to do this as we already check for the
MAP_ANONYMOUS case here, and the shmem file case is simply a variant of
the same idea - we permit RAM-backed memory.

This requires a modification to the arch_calc_vm_flag_bits() signature to
pass in a pointer to the struct file associated with the mapping, however
this is not too egregious as this is only used by two architectures anyway
- arm64 and parisc.

So this patch performs this adjustment and removes the unnecessary
assignment of VM_MTE_ALLOWED in shmem_mmap().

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix whitespace, per Catalin]

Enable MTE support for hugetlb.

The MTE page flags will be set on the folio only.  When copying
hugetlb folio (for example, CoW), the tags for all subpages will be copied
when copying the first subpage.

When freeing hugetlb folio, the MTE flags will be cleared.

Map pages flagged as being part of a GCS as such rather than using the
full set of generic VM flags.

This is done using a conditional rather than extending the size of
protection_map since that would make for a very sparse array.

Currently arch_validate_flags() is written in a very non-extensible
fashion, returning immediately if MTE is not supported and writing the MTE
check as a direct return. Since we will want to add more checks for GCS
refactor the existing code to be more extensible, no functional change
intended.

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
 "Originally I'd planned on sending each of the vDSO getrandom()
  architecture ports to their respective arch trees. But as we started
  to work on this, we found lots of interesting issues in the shared
  code and infrastructure, the fixes for which the various archs needed
  to base their work.

  So in the end, this turned into a nice collaborative effort fixing up
  issues and porting to 5 new architectures -- arm64, powerpc64,
  powerpc32, s390x, and loongarch64 -- with everybody pitching in and
  commenting on each other's code. It was a fun development cycle.

  This contains:

   - Numerous fixups to the vDSO selftest infrastructure, getting it
     running successfully on more platforms, and fixing bugs in it.

   - Additions to the vDSO getrandom &amp; chacha selftests. Basically every
     time manual review unearthed a bug in a revision of an arch patch,
     or an ambiguity, the tests were augmented.

     By the time the last arch was submitted for review, s390x, v1 of
     the series was essentially fine right out of the gate.

   - Fixes to the the generic C implementation of vDSO getrandom, to
     build and run successfully on all archs, decoupling it from
     assumptions we had (unintentionally) made on x86_64 that didn't
     carry through to the other architectures.

   - Port of vDSO getrandom to LoongArch64, from Xi Ruoyao and acked by
     Huacai Chen.

   - Port of vDSO getrandom to ARM64, from Adhemerval Zanella and acked
     by Will Deacon.

   - Port of vDSO getrandom to PowerPC, in both 32-bit and 64-bit
     varieties, from Christophe Leroy and acked by Michael Ellerman.

   - Port of vDSO getrandom to S390X from Heiko Carstens, the arch
     maintainer.

  While it'd be natural for there to be things to fix up over the course
  of the development cycle, these patches got a decent amount of review
  from a fairly diverse crew of folks on the mailing lists, and, for the
  most part, they've been cooking in linux-next, which has been helpful
  for ironing out build issues.

  In terms of architectures, I think that mostly takes care of the
  important 64-bit archs with hardware still being produced and running
  production loads in settings where vDSO getrandom is likely to help.

  Arguably there's still RISC-V left, and we'll see for 6.13 whether
  they find it useful and submit a port"

Hook up the generic vDSO implementation to the aarch64 vDSO data page.
The _vdso_rng_data required data is placed within the _vdso_data vvar
page, by using a offset larger than the vdso_data.

The vDSO function requires a ChaCha20 implementation that does not write
to the stack, and that can do an entire ChaCha20 permutation.  The one
provided uses NEON on the permute operation, with a fallback to the
syscall for chips that do not support AdvSIMD.

This also passes the vdso_test_chacha test along with
vdso_test_getrandom. The vdso_test_getrandom bench-single result on
Neoverse-N1 shows:

   vdso: 25000000 times in 0.783884250 seconds
   libc: 25000000 times in 8.780275399 seconds
syscall: 25000000 times in 8.786581518 seconds

A small fixup to arch/arm64/include/asm/mman.h was required to avoid
pulling kernel code into the vDSO, similar to what's already done in
arch/arm64/include/asm/rwonce.h.
