2026-07-24KVM: arm64: Bound used_lrs when flushing the pKVM hyp vCPUHyunwoo Kim1-0/+1
commit 8cc8bbbfab14c22c5551d0dd19b208a44b141c76 upstream. flush_hyp_vcpu() copies the host vGIC state into the hyp's private vCPU on every run. The vGIC list register save and restore use used_lrs as their loop bound and expect it to stay within the number of implemented list registers. While this is generally the case, flush_hyp_vcpu() copies vgic_v3 verbatim and does not enforce this, so a value provided by the host is used at EL2 to index vgic_lr[] and access ICH_LR<n>_EL2 (host -> EL2). Fix by clamping used_lrs to the number of implemented list registers after the copy, as the trusted path already does in vgic_flush_lr_state(). The number of implemented list registers is constant after init, so it is replicated once from kvm_vgic_global_state.nr_lr into hyp_gicv3_nr_lr rather than read on every entry.

2026-06-19arm64: tlb: Optimize ARM64_WORKAROUND_REPEAT_TLBIMark Rutland1-24/+35
commit a8f78680ee6bf795086384e8aea159a52814f827 upstream. The ARM64_WORKAROUND_REPEAT_TLBI workaround is used to mitigate several errata where broadcast TLBI;DSB sequences don't provide all the architecturally required synchronization. The workaround performs more work than necessary, and can have significant overhead. This patch optimizes the workaround, as explained below. The workaround was originally added for Qualcomm Falkor erratum 1009 in commit: d9ff80f83ecb ("arm64: Work around Falkor erratum 1009") As noted in the message for that commit, the workaround is applied even in cases where it is not strictly necessary. The workaround was later reused without changes for: * Arm Cortex-A76 erratum #1286807 SDEN v33: https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-885749/33-0/ * Arm Cortex-A55 erratum #2441007 SDEN v16: https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-859338/1600/ * Arm Cortex-A510 erratum #2441009 SDEN v19: https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-1873351/1900/ The important details to note are as follows: 1. All relevant errata only affect the ordering and/or completion of memory accesses which have been translated by an invalidated TLB entry. The actual invalidation of TLB entries is unaffected. 2. The existing workaround is applied to both broadcast and local TLB invalidation, whereas for all relevant errata it is only necessary to apply a workaround for broadcast invalidation. 3. The existing workaround replaces every TLBI with a TLBI;DSB;TLBI sequence, whereas for all relevant errata it is only necessary to execute a single additional TLBI;DSB sequence after any number of TLBIs are completed by a DSB. For example, for a sequence of batched TLBIs: TLBI <op1>[, <arg1>] TLBI <op2>[, <arg2>] TLBI <op3>[, <arg3>] DSB ISH ... the existing workaround will expand this to: TLBI <op1>[, <arg1>] DSB ISH // additional TLBI <op1>[, <arg1>] // additional TLBI <op2>[, <arg2>] DSB ISH // additional TLBI <op2>[, <arg2>] // additional TLBI <op3>[, <arg3>] DSB ISH // additional TLBI <op3>[, <arg3>] // additional DSB ISH ... whereas it is sufficient to have: TLBI <op1>[, <arg1>] TLBI <op2>[, <arg2>] TLBI <op3>[, <arg3>] DSB ISH TLBI <opX>[, <argX>] // additional DSB ISH // additional Using a single additional TBLI and DSB at the end of the sequence can have significantly lower overhead as each DSB which completes a TLBI must synchronize with other PEs in the system, with potential performance effects both locally and system-wide. 4. The existing workaround repeats each specific TLBI operation, whereas for all relevant errata it is sufficient for the additional TLBI to use *any* operation which will be broadcast, regardless of which translation regime or stage of translation the operation applies to. For example, for a single TLBI: TLBI ALLE2IS DSB ISH ... the existing workaround will expand this to: TLBI ALLE2IS DSB ISH TLBI ALLE2IS // additional DSB ISH // additional ... whereas it is sufficient to have: TLBI ALLE2IS DSB ISH TLBI VALE1IS, XZR // additional DSB ISH // additional As the additional TLBI doesn't have to match a specific earlier TLBI, the additional TLBI can be implemented in separate code, with no memory of the earlier TLBIs. The additional TLBI can also use a cheaper TLBI operation. 5. The existing workaround is applied to both Stage-1 and Stage-2 TLB invalidation, whereas for all relevant errata it is only necessary to apply a workaround for Stage-1 invalidation. Architecturally, TLBI operations which invalidate only Stage-2 information (e.g. IPAS2E1IS) are not required to invalidate TLB entries which combine information from Stage-1 and Stage-2 translation table entries, and consequently may not complete memory accesses translated by those combined entries. In these cases, completion of memory accesses is only guaranteed after subsequent invalidation of Stage-1 information (e.g. VMALLE1IS). Taking the above points into account, this patch reworks the workaround logic to reduce overhead: * New __tlbi_sync_s1ish() and __tlbi_sync_s1ish_hyp() functions are added and used in place of any dsb(ish) which is used to complete broadcast Stage-1 TLB maintenance. When the ARM64_WORKAROUND_REPEAT_TLBI workaround is enabled, these helpers will execute an additional TLBI;DSB sequence. For consistency, it might make sense to add __tlbi_sync_*() helpers for local and stage 2 maintenance. For now I've left those with open-coded dsb() to keep the diff small. * The duplication of TLBIs in __TLBI_0() and __TLBI_1() is removed. This is no longer needed as the necessary synchronization will happen in __tlbi_sync_s1ish() or __tlbi_sync_s1ish_hyp(). * The additional TLBI operation is chosen to have minimal impact: - __tlbi_sync_s1ish() uses "TLBI VALE1IS, XZR". This is only used at EL1 or at EL2 with {E2H,TGE}=={1,1}, where it will target an unused entry for the reserved ASID in the kernel's own translation regime, and have no adverse affect. - __tlbi_sync_s1ish_hyp() uses "TLBI VALE2IS, XZR". This is only used in hyp code, where it will target an unused entry in the hyp code's TTBR0 mapping, and should have no adverse effect. * As __TLBI_0() and __TLBI_1() no longer replace each TLBI with a TLBI;DSB;TLBI sequence, batching TLBIs is worthwhile, and there's no need for arch_tlbbatch_should_defer() to consider ARM64_WORKAROUND_REPEAT_TLBI.

2026-06-19arm64: tlb: Allow XZR argument to TLBI opsMark Rutland1-3/+3
commit bfd9c931d19aa59fb8371d557774fa169b15db9a upstream. The TLBI instruction accepts XZR as a register argument, and for TLBI operations with a register argument, there is no functional difference between using XZR or another GPR which contains zeroes. Operations without a register argument are encoded as if XZR were used. Allow the __TLBI_1() macro to use XZR when a register argument is all zeroes. Today this only results in a trivial code saving in __do_compat_cache_op()'s workaround for Neoverse-N1 erratum #1542419. In subsequent patches this pattern will be used more generally. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

2026-06-09arm64: tlb: Flush walk cache when unsharing PMD tablesZeng Heng1-1/+1
[ Upstream commit c2ff4764e03e7a8d758352f4aceb8fe1be6ac971 ] When huge_pmd_unshare() is called to unshare a PMD table, the tlb_unshare_pmd_ptdesc() function sets tlb->unshared_tables=true but the aarch64 tlb_flush() only checked tlb->freed_tables to determine whether to use TLBF_NONE (vae1is, invalidates walk cache) or TLBF_NOWALKCACHE (vale1is, leaf-only). This caused the stale PMD page table entry to remain in the walk cache after unshare, potentially leading to incorrect page table walks. Fix by including unshared_tables in the check, so that when unsharing tables, TLBF_NONE is used and the walk cache is properly invalidated. Here is the detailed distinction between vae1is and vale1is: | Instruction Combination | Actual Invalidation Scope | | ------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------| | `VAE1IS` + TTL=`0` | All entries at all levels (full invalidation) | | `VAE1IS` + TTL=`2` (L2) | Non-leaf at Level 0/1 + leaf at Level 2 | | `VALE1IS` + TTL=`0` | Leaf entries at all levels (non-leaf not cleared) | | `VALE1IS` + TTL=`2` (L2) | Leaf entry at Level 2 only | Signed-off-by: Zeng Heng <zengheng4@huawei.com> Fixes: 8ce720d5bd91 ("mm/hugetlb: fix excessive IPI broadcasts when unsharing PMD tables using mmu_gather") Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2026-06-09ring-buffer: Flush and stop persistent ring buffer on panicMasami Hiramatsu (Google)1-0/+10
[ Upstream commit a494d3c8d5392bcdff83c2a593df0c160ff9f322 ] On real hardware, panic and machine reboot may not flush hardware cache to memory. This means the persistent ring buffer, which relies on a coherent state of memory, may not have its events written to the buffer and they may be lost. Moreover, there may be inconsistency with the counters which are used for validation of the integrity of the persistent ring buffer which may cause all data to be discarded. To avoid this issue, stop recording of the ring buffer on panic and flush the cache of the ring buffer's memory.

2026-06-09arm64: debug: remove debug exception registration infrastructureAda Couprie Diaz3-12/+0
[ Upstream commit a8b8cce9d96d65dfe3d89abf02033151f8b7d670 ] Now that debug exceptions are handled individually and without the need for dynamic registration, remove the unused registration infrastructure. This removes the external caller for `debug_exception_enter()` and `debug_exception_exit()`. Make them static again and remove them from the header. Remove `early_brk64()` as it has been made redundant by (arm64: debug: split brk64 exception entry) and is not used anymore. Note : in `early_brk64()` `bug_brk_handler()` is called unconditionally as a fall-through, but now `call_break_hook()` only calls it if the immediate matches. This does not change the behaviour in early boot, as if `bug_brk_handler()` was called on a non-BUG immediate it would return DBG_HOOK_ERROR anyway, which `call_break_hook()` will do if no immediate matches. Remove `trap_init()`, as it would be empty and a weak definition already exists in `init/main.c`. Signed-off-by: Ada Couprie Diaz <ada.coupriediaz@arm.com> Tested-by: Luis Claudio R.

2026-06-09arm64: debug: split bkpt32 exception entryAda Couprie Diaz1-0/+1
[ Upstream commit fc5e5d0477c532054ce8692fd16fdaab2cb8946f ] Currently all debug exceptions share common entry code and are routed to `do_debug_exception()`, which calls dynamically-registered handlers for each specific debug exception. This is unfortunate as different debug exceptions have different entry handling requirements, and it would be better to handle these distinct requirements earlier.

Thus, we know that the PC is a legitimate address and isn't being used to train a branch predictor with a bogus address : we don't need to call `arm64_apply_bp_hardening()`. The handler for this exception only pends a signal and doesn't depend on any per-CPU state : we don't need to inhibit preemption, nor do we need to keep the DAIF exceptions masked, so we can unmask them earlier. Split the BKPT32 exception entry and adjust function signatures and its behaviour to match its relaxed constraints compared to other debug exceptions.

2026-06-09arm64: debug: split brk64 exception entryAda Couprie Diaz1-0/+2
[ Upstream commit 31575e11ecf7e44face72d1e624cb147a9283733 ] Currently all debug exceptions share common entry code and are routed to `do_debug_exception()`, which calls dynamically-registered handlers for each specific debug exception. This is unfortunate as different debug exceptions have different entry handling requirements, and it would be better to handle these distinct requirements earlier.

Thus, we know that the PC is a legitimate address and isn't being used to train a branch predictor with a bogus address : we don't need to call `arm64_apply_bp_hardening()`. We do not need to handle the Cortex-A76 erratum #1463225 either, as it only relevant for single stepping at EL1. BRK64 does not write FAR_EL1 either, as only hardware watchpoints do so. Split the BRK64 exception entry, adjust the function signature, and its behaviour to match the lack of needed mitigations. Further, as the EL0 and EL1 code paths are cleanly separated, we can split `do_brk64()` into `do_el0_brk64()` and `do_el1_brk64()`, and call them directly from the relevant entry paths. Use `die()` directly for the EL1 error path, as in `do_el1_bti()` and `do_el1_undef()`. We can also remove `NOKRPOBE_SYMBOL` for the EL0 path, as it cannot lead to a kprobe recursion. When taking a BRK64 exception from EL0, the exception handling is safely preemptible : the only possible handler is `uprobe_brk_handler()`. It only operates on task-local data and properly checks its validity, then raises a Thread Information Flag, processed before returning to userspace in `do_notify_resume()`, which is already preemptible. Thus we can safely unmask interrupts and enable preemption before handling the break itself, fixing a PREEMPT_RT issue where the handler could call a sleeping function with preemption disabled. Given that the break hook registration is handled statically in `call_break_hook` since (arm64: debug: call software break handlers statically) and that we now bypass the exception handler registration, this change renders `early_brk64` redundant : its functionality is now handled through the post-init path. This also removes the last usage of `el1_dbg()`. This also removes the last usage of `el0_dbg()` without `CONFIG_COMPAT`. Mark it `__maybe_unused`, to prevent a warning when building this patch without `CONFIG_COMPAT`, as the following patch removes `el0_dbg()`.

The single stepping exception has the most constraints : it can be exploited to train branch predictors and it needs special handling at EL1 for the Cortex-A76 erratum #1463225. We need to conserve all those mitigations. However, it does not write an address at FAR_EL1, as only hardware watchpoints do so. The single-step handler does its own signaling if it needs to and only returns 0, so we can call it directly from `entry-common.c`. Split the single stepping exception entry, adjust the function signature, keep the security mitigation and erratum handling. Further, as the EL0 and EL1 code paths are cleanly separated, we can split `do_softstep()` into `do_el0_softstep()` and `do_el1_softstep()` and call them directly from the relevant entry paths. We can also remove `NOKPROBE_SYMBOL` for the EL0 path, as it cannot lead to a kprobe recursion. Move the call to `arm64_apply_bp_hardening()` to `entry-common.c` so that we can do it as early as possible, and only for the exceptions coming from EL0, where it is needed. This is safe to do as it is `noinstr`, as are all the functions it may call. `el0_ia()` and `el0_pc()` already call it this way. When taking a soft-step exception from EL0, most of the single stepping handling is safely preemptible : the only possible handler is `uprobe_single_step_handler()`. It only operates on task-local data and properly checks its validity, then raises a Thread Information Flag, processed before returning to userspace in `do_notify_resume()`, which is already preemptible. However, the soft-step handler first calls `reinstall_suspended_bps()` to check if there is any hardware breakpoint or watchpoint pending or already stepped through. This cannot be preempted as it manipulates the hardware breakpoint and watchpoint registers. Move the call to `try_step_suspended_breakpoints()` to `entry-common.c` and adjust the relevant comments. We can now safely unmask interrupts before handling the step itself, fixing a PREEMPT_RT issue where the handler could call a sleeping function with preemption disabled.

[ Upstream commit 80691d35523de3292b64c2ffa444aab3d55e51ba ] `reinstall_suspended_bps()` plays a key part in the stepping process when we have hardware breakpoints and watchpoints enabled. It checks if we need to step one, will re-enable it if it has been handled and will return whether or not we need to proceed with a single-step. However, the current naming and return values make it harder to understand the logic and goal of the function. Rename it `try_step_suspended_breakpoints()` and change the return value to a boolean, aligning it with similar functions used in `do_el0_undef()` like `try_emulate_mrs()`, and making its behaviour more obvious.

[ Upstream commit 6adfdc5e2ef9c71a76d8d127a2eb54f0fbe9be5e ] Software breakpoints pass an immediate value in ESR ("comment") that can be used to call a specialized handler (KGDB, KASAN...). We do so in two different ways : - During early boot, `early_brk64` statically checks against known immediates and calls the corresponding handler, - During init, handlers are dynamically registered into a list. When called, the generic software breakpoint handler will iterate over the list to find the appropriate handler. The dynamic registration does not provide any benefit here as it is not exported and all its uses are within the arm64 tree. It also depends on an RCU list, whose safe access currently relies on the non-preemptible state of `do_debug_exception`. Replace the list iteration logic in `call_break_hooks` to call the breakpoint handlers statically if they are enabled, like in `early_brk64`. Expose the handlers in their respective headers to be reachable from `arch/arm64/kernel/debug-monitors.c` at link time. Unify the naming of the software breakpoint handlers to XXX_brk_handler(), making it clear they are related and to differentiate from the hardware breakpoints.

commit fd2f74f8f3d3c1a524637caf5bead9757fae4332 upstream. When using bpf_program__attach_kprobe_multi_opts on ARM64 to hook a BPF program that contains the bpf_get_stackid function, the BPF program fails to obtain the stack trace and returns -EFAULT. This is because ftrace_partial_regs omits the configuration of the pstate register, leaving pstate at the default value of 0. When get_perf_callchain executes, it uses user_mode(regs) to determine whether it is in kernel mode. This leads to a misjudgment that the code is in user mode, so perf_callchain_kernel is not executed and the function returns directly. As a result, trace->nr becomes 0, and finally -EFAULT is returned. Therefore, the assignment of the pstate register is added here.

The 'flushcache' function was only used from the iterator code, and let's make it do the same thing that the nontemporal version does: remove the two underscores and add the user address checking. Yes, yes, the user address checking is also done at iovec import time, but we have long since walked away from the old double-underscore thing where we try to avoid address checking overhead at access time, and these functions shouldn't be so special and old-fashioned. The arm64 version already did the address check, in fact, so there it's just a matter of renaming it. For powerpc and x86-64 we now do the proper user access boilerplate.

2026-03-25arm64: mm: Add PTE_DIRTY back to PAGE_KERNEL* to fix kexec/hibernationCatalin Marinas1-5/+5
commit c25c4aa3f79a488cc270507935a29c07dc6bddfc upstream. Commit 143937ca51cc ("arm64, mm: avoid always making PTE dirty in pte_mkwrite()") changed pte_mkwrite_novma() to only clear PTE_RDONLY when PTE_DIRTY is set. This was to allow writable-clean PTEs for swap pages that haven't actually been written. However, this broke kexec and hibernation for some platforms. Both go through trans_pgd_create_copy() -> _copy_pte(), which calls pte_mkwrite_novma() to make the temporary linear-map copy fully writable. With the updated pte_mkwrite_novma(), read-only kernel pages (without PTE_DIRTY) remain read-only in the temporary mapping. While such behaviour is fine for user pages where hardware DBM or trapping will make them writeable, subsequent in-kernel writes by the kexec relocation code will fault. Add PTE_DIRTY back to all _PAGE_KERNEL* protection definitions. This was the case prior to 5.4, commit aa57157be69f ("arm64: Ensure VM_WRITE|VM_SHARED ptes are clean by default"). With the kernel linear-map PTEs always having PTE_DIRTY set, pte_mkwrite_novma() correctly clears PTE_RDONLY.

2026-03-04arm64: Fix non-atomic __READ_ONCE() with CONFIG_LTO=yMarco Elver1-1/+1
[ Upstream commit bb0c99e08ab9aa6d04b40cb63c72db9950d51749 ] The implementation of __READ_ONCE() under CONFIG_LTO=y incorrectly qualified the fallback "once" access for types larger than 8 bytes, which are not atomic but should still happen "once" and suppress common compiler optimizations.

2026-03-04ftrace: Make ftrace_regs abstract from direct useSteven Rostedt1-9/+11
[ Upstream commit 7888af4166d4ab07ba51234be6ba332b7807e901 ] ftrace_regs was created to hold registers that store information to save function parameters, return value and stack. Since it is a subset of pt_regs, it should only be used by its accessor functions. But because pt_regs can easily be taken from ftrace_regs (on most archs), it is tempting to use it directly. But when running on other architectures, it may fail to build or worse, build but crash the kernel! Instead, make struct ftrace_regs an empty structure and have the architectures define __arch_ftrace_regs and all the accessor functions will typecast to it to get to the actual fields. This will help avoid usage of ftrace_regs directly.

commit bdf3f4176092df5281877cacf42f843063b4784d upstream. TCR2_ELx.E0POE is set during smp_init(). However, this bit is not reprogrammed when the CPU enters suspension and later resumes via cpu_resume(), as __cpu_setup() does not re-enable E0POE and there is no save/restore logic for the TCR2_ELx system register. As a result, the E0POE feature no longer works after cpu_resume(). To address this, save and restore TCR2_EL1 in the cpu_suspend()/cpu_resume() path, rather than adding related logic to __cpu_setup(), taking into account possible future extensions of the TCR2_ELx feature.

2026-01-08arm64: Revamp HCR_EL2.E2H RES1 detectionMarc Zyngier1-6/+32
[ Upstream commit ca88ecdce5f51874a7c151809bd2c936ee0d3805 ] We currently have two ways to identify CPUs that only implement FEAT_VHE and not FEAT_E2H0: - either they advertise it via ID_AA64MMFR4_EL1.E2H0, - or the HCR_EL2.E2H bit is RAO/WI However, there is a third category of "cpus" that fall between these two cases: on CPUs that do not implement FEAT_FGT, it is IMPDEF whether an access to ID_AA64MMFR4_EL1 can trap to EL2 when the register value is zero. A consequence of this is that on systems such as Neoverse V2, a NV guest cannot reliably detect that it is in a VHE-only configuration (E2H is writable, and ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1 is 0), despite the hypervisor's best effort to repaint the id register. Replace the RAO/WI test by a sequence that makes use of the VHE register remnapping between EL1 and EL2 to detect this situation, and work out whether we get the VHE behaviour even after having set HCR_EL2.E2H to 0. This solves the NV problem, and provides a more reliable acid test for CPUs that do not completely follow the letter of the architecture while providing a RES1 behaviour for HCR_EL2.E2H.

2026-01-08KVM: arm64: Initialize SCTLR_EL1 in __kvm_hyp_init_cpu()Ahmed Genidi1-5/+0
[ Upstream commit 3855a7b91d42ebf3513b7ccffc44807274978b3d ] When KVM is in protected mode, host calls to PSCI are proxied via EL2, and cold entries from CPU_ON, CPU_SUSPEND, and SYSTEM_SUSPEND bounce through __kvm_hyp_init_cpu() at EL2 before entering the host kernel's entry point at EL1. While __kvm_hyp_init_cpu() initializes SPSR_EL2 for the exception return to EL1, it does not initialize SCTLR_EL1. Due to this, it's possible to enter EL1 with SCTLR_EL1 in an UNKNOWN state. In practice this has been seen to result in kernel crashes after CPU_ON as a result of SCTLR_EL1.M being 1 in violation of the initial core configuration specified by PSCI. Fix this by initializing SCTLR_EL1 for cold entry to the host kernel. As it's necessary to write to SCTLR_EL12 in VHE mode, this initialization is moved into __kvm_host_psci_cpu_entry() where we can use write_sysreg_el1(). The remnants of the '__init_el2_nvhe_prepare_eret' macro are folded into its only caller, as this is clearer than having the macro.

2026-01-08KVM: arm64: Initialize HCR_EL2.E2H earlyMark Rutland1-0/+26
[ Upstream commit 7a68b55ff39b0a1638acb1694c185d49f6077a0d ] On CPUs without FEAT_E2H0, HCR_EL2.E2H is RES1, but may reset to an UNKNOWN value out of reset and consequently may not read as 1 unless it has been explicitly initialized. We handled this for the head.S boot code in commits: 3944382fa6f22b54 ("arm64: Treat HCR_EL2.E2H as RES1 when ID_AA64MMFR4_EL1.E2H0 is negative") b3320142f3db9b3f ("arm64: Fix early handling of FEAT_E2H0 not being implemented") Unfortunately, we forgot to apply a similar fix to the KVM PSCI entry points used when relaying CPU_ON, CPU_SUSPEND, and SYSTEM SUSPEND. When KVM is entered via these entry points, the value of HCR_EL2.E2H may be consumed before it has been initialized (e.g. by the 'init_el2_state' macro). Initialize HCR_EL2.E2H early in these paths such that it can be consumed reliably. The existing code in head.S is factored out into a new 'init_el2_hcr' macro, and this is used in the __kvm_hyp_init_cpu() function common to all the relevant PSCI entry points. For clarity, I've tweaked the assembly used to check whether ID_AA64MMFR4_EL1.E2H0 is negative. The bitfield is extracted as a signed value, and this is checked with a signed-greater-or-equal (GE) comparison. As the hyp code will reconfigure HCR_EL2 later in ___kvm_hyp_init(), all bits other than E2H are initialized to zero in __kvm_hyp_init_cpu().

2025-10-29arm64, mm: avoid always making PTE dirty in pte_mkwrite()Huang Ying1-1/+2
[ Upstream commit 143937ca51cc6ae2fccc61a1cb916abb24cd34f5 ] Current pte_mkwrite_novma() makes PTE dirty unconditionally. This may mark some pages that are never written dirty wrongly. For example, do_swap_page() may map the exclusive pages with writable and clean PTEs if the VMA is writable and the page fault is for read access. However, current pte_mkwrite_novma() implementation always dirties the PTE. This may cause unnecessary disk writing if the pages are never written before being reclaimed. So, change pte_mkwrite_novma() to clear the PTE_RDONLY bit only if the PTE_DIRTY bit is set to make it possible to make the PTE writable and clean. The current behavior was introduced in commit 73e86cb03cf2 ("arm64: Move PTE_RDONLY bit handling out of set_pte_at()"). Before that, pte_mkwrite() only sets the PTE_WRITE bit, while set_pte_at() only clears the PTE_RDONLY bit if both the PTE_WRITE and the PTE_DIRTY bits are set. To test the performance impact of the patch, on an arm64 server machine, run 16 redis-server processes on socket 1 and 16 memtier_benchmark processes on socket 0 with mostly get transactions (that is, redis-server will mostly read memory only). The memory footprint of redis-server is larger than the available memory, so swap out/in will be triggered. Test results show that the patch can avoid most swapping out because the pages are mostly clean. And the benchmark throughput improves ~23.9% in the test.

2025-09-09arm64: ftrace: fix unreachable PLT for ftrace_caller in init_module with ↵panfan2-0/+2
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE commit a7ed7b9d0ebb038db9963d574da0311cab0b666a upstream. On arm64, it has been possible for a module's sections to be placed more than 128M away from each other since commit: commit 3e35d303ab7d ("arm64: module: rework module VA range selection") Due to this, an ftrace callsite in a module's .init.text section can be out of branch range for the module's ftrace PLT entry (in the module's .text section). Any attempt to enable tracing of that callsite will result in a BRK being patched into the callsite, resulting in a fatal exception when the callsite is later executed. Fix this by adding an additional trampoline for .init.text, which will be within range.

2025-08-20arm64: Handle KCOV __init vs inline mismatchesKees Cook1-1/+1
[ Upstream commit 65c430906efffee9bd7551d474f01a6b1197df90 ] GCC appears to have kind of fragile inlining heuristics, in the sense that it can change whether or not it inlines something based on optimizations. It looks like the kcov instrumentation being added (or in this case, removed) from a function changes the optimization results, and some functions marked "inline" are _not_ inlined. In that case, we end up with __init code calling a function not marked __init, and we get the build warnings I'm trying to eliminate in the coming patch that adds __no_sanitize_coverage to __init functions: WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: acpi_get_enable_method+0x1c (section: .text.unlikely) -> acpi_psci_present (section: .init.text) This problem is somewhat fragile (though using either __always_inline or __init will deterministically solve it), but we've tripped over this before with GCC and the solution has usually been to just use __always_inline and move on. For arm64 this requires forcing one ACPI function to be inlined with __always_inline.

2025-08-01arm64/entry: Mask DAIF in cpu_switch_to(), call_on_irq_stack()Ada Couprie Diaz1-0/+5
commit d42e6c20de6192f8e4ab4cf10be8c694ef27e8cb upstream. `cpu_switch_to()` and `call_on_irq_stack()` manipulate SP to change to different stacks along with the Shadow Call Stack if it is enabled. Those two stack changes cannot be done atomically and both functions can be interrupted by SErrors or Debug Exceptions which, though unlikely, is very much broken : if interrupted, we can end up with mismatched stacks and Shadow Call Stack leading to clobbered stacks. In `cpu_switch_to()`, it can happen when SP_EL0 points to the new task, but x18 stills points to the old task's SCS. When the interrupt handler tries to save the task's SCS pointer, it will save the old task SCS pointer (x18) into the new task struct (pointed to by SP_EL0), clobbering it. In `call_on_irq_stack()`, it can happen when switching from the task stack to the IRQ stack and when switching back. In both cases, we can be interrupted when the SCS pointer points to the IRQ SCS, but SP points to the task stack. The nested interrupt handler pushes its return addresses on the IRQ SCS. It then detects that SP points to the task stack, calls `call_on_irq_stack()` and clobbers the task SCS pointer with the IRQ SCS pointer, which it will also use ! This leads to tasks returning to addresses on the wrong SCS, or even on the IRQ SCS, triggering kernel panics via CONFIG_VMAP_STACK or FPAC if enabled. This is possible on a default config, but unlikely. However, when enabling CONFIG_ARM64_PSEUDO_NMI, DAIF is unmasked and instead the GIC is responsible for filtering what interrupts the CPU should receive based on priority. Given the goal of emulating NMIs, pseudo-NMIs can be received by the CPU even in `cpu_switch_to()` and `call_on_irq_stack()`, possibly *very* frequently depending on the system configuration and workload, leading to unpredictable kernel panics. Completely mask DAIF in `cpu_switch_to()` and restore it when returning. Do the same in `call_on_irq_stack()`, but restore and mask around the branch. Mask DAIF even if CONFIG_SHADOW_CALL_STACK is not enabled for consistency of behaviour between all configurations. Introduce and use an assembly macro for saving and masking DAIF, as the existing one saves but only masks IF.

2025-06-27arm64/mm: Close theoretical race where stale TLB entry remains validRyan Roberts1-4/+5
commit 4b634918384c0f84c33aeb4dd9fd4c38e7be5ccb upstream. Commit 3ea277194daa ("mm, mprotect: flush TLB if potentially racing with a parallel reclaim leaving stale TLB entries") describes a race that, prior to the commit, could occur between reclaim and operations such as mprotect() when using reclaim's tlbbatch mechanism. See that commit for details but the summary is: """ Nadav Amit identified a theoritical race between page reclaim and mprotect due to TLB flushes being batched outside of the PTL being held. He described the race as follows: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- user accesses memory using RW PTE [PTE now cached in TLB] try_to_unmap_one() ==> ptep_get_and_clear() ==> set_tlb_ubc_flush_pending() mprotect(addr, PROT_READ) ==> change_pte_range() ==> [ PTE non-present - no flush ] user writes using cached RW PTE ... try_to_unmap_flush() """ The solution was to insert flush_tlb_batched_pending() in mprotect() and friends to explcitly drain any pending reclaim TLB flushes. In the modern version of this solution, arch_flush_tlb_batched_pending() is called to do that synchronisation. arm64's tlbbatch implementation simply issues TLBIs at queue-time (arch_tlbbatch_add_pending()), eliding the trailing dsb(ish). The trailing dsb(ish) is finally issued in arch_tlbbatch_flush() at the end of the batch to wait for all the issued TLBIs to complete. Now, the Arm ARM states: """ The completion of the TLB maintenance instruction is guaranteed only by the execution of a DSB by the observer that performed the TLB maintenance instruction. The execution of a DSB by a different observer does not have this effect, even if the DSB is known to be executed after the TLB maintenance instruction is observed by that different observer. """ arch_tlbbatch_add_pending() and arch_tlbbatch_flush() conform to this requirement because they are called from the same task (either kswapd or caller of madvise(MADV_PAGEOUT)), so either they are on the same CPU or if the task was migrated, __switch_to() contains an extra dsb(ish). HOWEVER, arm64's arch_flush_tlb_batched_pending() is also implemented as a dsb(ish). But this may be running on a CPU remote from the one that issued the outstanding TLBIs. So there is no architectural gurantee of synchonization. Therefore we are still vulnerable to the theoretical race described in Commit 3ea277194daa ("mm, mprotect: flush TLB if potentially racing with a parallel reclaim leaving stale TLB entries"). Fix this by flushing the entire mm in arch_flush_tlb_batched_pending(). This aligns with what the other arches that implement the tlbbatch feature do.

2025-06-19arm64/fpsimd: Do not discard modified SVE stateMark Rutland1-0/+3
[ Upstream commit 398edaa12f9cf2be7902f306fc023c20e3ebd3e4 ] Historically SVE state was discarded deterministically early in the syscall entry path, before ptrace is notified of syscall entry. This permitted ptrace to modify SVE state before and after the "real" syscall logic was executed, with the modified state being retained. This behaviour was changed by commit: 8c845e2731041f0f ("arm64/sve: Leave SVE enabled on syscall if we don't context switch") That commit was intended to speed up workloads that used SVE by opportunistically leaving SVE enabled when returning from a syscall. The syscall entry logic was modified to truncate the SVE state without disabling userspace access to SVE, and fpsimd_save_user_state() was modified to discard userspace SVE state whenever in_syscall(current_pt_regs()) is true, i.e. when current_pt_regs()->syscallno != NO_SYSCALL. Leaving SVE enabled opportunistically resulted in a couple of changes to userspace visible behaviour which weren't described at the time, but are logical consequences of opportunistically leaving SVE enabled: * Signal handlers can observe the type of saved state in the signal's sve_context record. When the kernel only tracks FPSIMD state, the 'vq' field is 0 and there is no space allocated for register contents. When the kernel tracks SVE state, the 'vq' field is non-zero and the register contents are saved into the record. As a result of the above commit, 'vq' (and the presence of SVE register state) is non-deterministically zero or non-zero for a period of time after a syscall. The effective register state is still deterministic. Hopefully no-one relies on this being deterministic. In general, handlers for asynchronous events cannot expect a deterministic state. * Similarly to signal handlers, ptrace requests can observe the type of saved state in the NT_ARM_SVE and NT_ARM_SSVE regsets, as this is exposed in the header flags. As a result of the above commit, this is now in a non-deterministic state after a syscall. The effective register state is still deterministic. Hopefully no-one relies on this being deterministic. In general, debuggers would have to handle this changing at arbitrary points during program flow. Discarding the SVE state within fpsimd_save_user_state() resulted in other changes to userspace visible behaviour which are not desirable: * A ptrace tracer can modify (or create) a tracee's SVE state at syscall entry or syscall exit. As a result of the above commit, the tracee's SVE state can be discarded non-deterministically after modification, rather than being retained as it previously was. Note that for co-operative tracer/tracee pairs, the tracer may (re)initialise the tracee's state arbitrarily after the tracee sends itself an initial SIGSTOP via a syscall, so this affects realistic design patterns. * The current_pt_regs()->syscallno field can be modified via ptrace, and can be altered even when the tracee is not really in a syscall, causing non-deterministic discarding to occur in situations where this was not previously possible. Further, using current_pt_regs()->syscallno in this way is unsound: * There are data races between readers and writers of the current_pt_regs()->syscallno field. The current_pt_regs()->syscallno field is written in interruptible task context using plain C accesses, and is read in irq/softirq context using plain C accesses. These accesses are subject to data races, with the usual concerns with tearing, etc. * Writes to current_pt_regs()->syscallno are subject to compiler reordering. As current_pt_regs()->syscallno is written with plain C accesses, the compiler is free to move those writes arbitrarily relative to anything which doesn't access the same memory location. In theory this could break signal return, where prior to restoring the SVE state, restore_sigframe() calls forget_syscall(). If the write were hoisted after restore of some SVE state, that state could be discarded unexpectedly. In practice that reordering cannot happen in the absence of LTO (as cross compilation-unit function calls happen prevent this reordering), and that reordering appears to be unlikely in the presence of LTO. Additionally, since commit: f130ac0ae4412dbe ("arm64: syscall: unmask DAIF earlier for SVCs") ... DAIF is unmasked before el0_svc_common() sets regs->syscallno to the real syscall number. Consequently state may be saved in SVE format prior to this point. Considering all of the above, current_pt_regs()->syscallno should not be used to infer whether the SVE state can be discarded. Luckily we can instead use cpu_fp_state::to_save to track when it is safe to discard the SVE state: * At syscall entry, after the live SVE register state is truncated, set cpu_fp_state::to_save to FP_STATE_FPSIMD to indicate that only the FPSIMD portion is live and needs to be saved. * At syscall exit, once the task's state is guaranteed to be live, set cpu_fp_state::to_save to FP_STATE_CURRENT to indicate that TIF_SVE must be considered to determine which state needs to be saved. * Whenever state is modified, it must be saved+flushed prior to manipulation. The state will be truncated if necessary when it is saved, and reloading the state will set fp_state::to_save to FP_STATE_CURRENT, preventing subsequent discarding. This permits SVE state to be discarded *only* when it is known to have been truncated (and the non-FPSIMD portions must be zero), and ensures that SVE state is retained after it is explicitly modified. For backporting, note that this fix depends on the following commits: * b2482807fbd4 ("arm64/sme: Optimise SME exit on syscall entry") * f130ac0ae441 ("arm64: syscall: unmask DAIF earlier for SVCs") * 929fa99b1215 ("arm64/fpsimd: signal: Always save+flush state early") Fixes: 8c845e273104 ("arm64/sve: Leave SVE enabled on syscall if we don't context switch") Fixes: f130ac0ae441 ("arm64: syscall: unmask DAIF earlier for SVCs") Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Cc: Marc Zyngier <maz@kernel.org> Cc: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org> Cc: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250508132644.1395904-2-mark.rutland@arm.com Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
2025-06-19arm64/fpsimd: Avoid RES0 bits in the SME trap handlerMark Rutland1-6/+8
[ Upstream commit 95507570fb2f75544af69760cd5d8f48fc5c7f20 ] The SME trap handler consumes RES0 bits from the ESR when determining the reason for the trap, and depends upon those bits reading as zero. This may break in future when those RES0 bits are allocated a meaning and stop reading as zero. For SME traps taken with ESR_ELx.EC == 0b011101, the specific reason for the trap is indicated by ESR_ELx.ISS.SMTC ("SME Trap Code"). This field occupies bits [2:0] of ESR_ELx.ISS, and as of ARM DDI 0487 L.a, bits [24:3] of ESR_ELx.ISS are RES0. ESR_ELx.ISS itself occupies bits [24:0] of ESR_ELx. Extract the SMTC field specifically, matching the way we handle ESR_ELx fields elsewhere, and ensuring that the handler is future-proof.

[ Upstream commit bfb1d2b9021c21891427acc86eb848ccedeb274e ] pud_bad() is currently defined in terms of pud_table(). Although for some configs, pud_table() is hard-coded to true i.e. when using 64K base pages or when page table levels are less than 3. pud_bad() is intended to check that the pud is configured correctly. Hence let's open-code the same check that the full version of pud_table() uses into pud_bad(). Then it always performs the check regardless of the config.
