arm64/fpsimd: Have KVM explicitly say which FP registers to save

2025-04-25T08:43:58+00:00

[ Upstream commit deeb8f9a80fdae5a62525656d65c7070c28bd3a4 ] In order to avoid needlessly saving and restoring the guest registers KVM relies on the host FPSMID code to save the guest registers when we context switch away from the guest. This is done by binding the KVM guest state to the CPU on top of the task state that was originally there, then carefully managing the TIF_SVE flag for the task to cause the host to save the full SVE state when needed regardless of the needs of the host task. This works well enough but isn't terribly direct about what is going on and makes it much more complicated to try to optimise what we're doing with the SVE register state. Let's instead have KVM pass in the register state it wants saving when it binds to the CPU. We introduce a new FP_STATE_CURRENT for use during normal task binding to indicate that we should base our decisions on the current task. This should not be used when actually saving. Ideally we might want to use a separate enum for the type to save but this enum and the enum values would then need to be named which has problems with clarity and ambiguity. In order to ease any future debugging that might be required this patch does not actually update any of the decision making about what to save, it merely starts tracking the new information and warns if the requested state is not what we would otherwise have decided to save.

arm64/fpsimd: Track the saved FPSIMD state type separately to TIF_SVE

2025-04-25T08:43:58+00:00

[ Upstream commit baa8515281b30861cff3da7db70662d2a25c6440 ] When we save the state for the floating point registers this can be done in the form visible through either the FPSIMD V registers or the SVE Z and P registers. At present we track which format is currently used based on TIF_SVE and the SME streaming mode state but particularly in the SVE case this limits our options for optimising things, especially around syscalls. Introduce a new enum which we place together with saved floating point state in both thread_struct and the KVM guest state which explicitly states which format is active and keep it up to date when we change it. At present we do not use this state except to verify that it has the expected value when loading the state, future patches will introduce functional changes.

arm64: make is_ttbrX_addr() noinstr-safe

2022-12-31T12:32:56+00:00

[ Upstream commit d8c1d798a2e5091128c391c6dadcc9be334af3f5 ] We use is_ttbr0_addr() in noinstr code, but as it's only marked as inline, it's theoretically possible for the compiler to place it out-of-line and instrument it, which would be problematic. Mark is_ttbr0_addr() as __always_inline such that that can safely be used from noinstr code. For consistency, do the same to is_ttbr1_addr(). Note that while is_ttbr1_addr() calls arch_kasan_reset_tag(), this is a macro (and its callees are either macros or __always_inline), so there is not a risk of transient instrumentation.

arm64: stacktrace: rework stack boundary discovery

2022-09-09T11:30:07+00:00

In subsequent patches we'll want to acquire the stack boundaries ahead-of-time, and we'll need to be able to acquire the relevant stack_info regardless of whether we have an object the happens to be on the stack. This patch replaces the on_XXX_stack() helpers with stackinfo_get_XXX() helpers, with the caller being responsible for the checking whether an object is on a relevant stack. For the moment this is moved into the on_accessible_stack() functions, making these slightly larger; subsequent patches will remove the on_accessible_stack() functions and simplify the logic. The on_irq_stack() and on_task_stack() helpers are kept as these are used by IRQ entry sequences and stackleak respectively. As they're only used as predicates, the stack_info pointer parameter is removed in both cases. As the on_accessible_stack() functions are always passed a non-NULL info pointer, these now update info unconditionally. When updating the type to STACK_TYPE_UNKNOWN, the low/high bounds are also modified, but as these will not be consumed this should have no adverse affect. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch. Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland Reviewed-by: Kalesh Singh Reviewed-by: Madhavan T.
