Provide support for additional kernel command line parameters to be
concatenated onto the end of the command line provided by the
bootloader. Additional parameters are specified in the CONFIG_CMDLINE
option when CONFIG_CMDLINE_EXTEND is selected, matching other
architectures and leveraging existing support in the FDT and EFI stub
code.
Special care must be taken for the arch-specific nokaslr parsing. Search
the bootargs FDT property and the CONFIG_CMDLINE when
CONFIG_CMDLINE_EXTEND is in use.
There are a couple of known use cases for this feature:
1) Switching between stable and development kernel versions, where one
of the versions benefits from additional command line parameters,
such as debugging options.
2) Specifying additional command line parameters, for additional tuning
or debugging, when the bootloader does not offer an interactive mode.

Don't ask for *the* command line string to search for "nokaslr" in
kaslr_early_init(). Instead, tell a helper function to search all the
appropriate command line strings for "nokaslr" and return the result.
This paves the way for searching multiple command line strings without
having to concatenate the strings in early init.

The kernel currently clears the tag bits (i.e. bits 56-63) in the fault
address exposed via siginfo.si_addr and sigcontext.fault_address. However,
the tag bits may be needed by tools in order to accurately diagnose
memory errors, such as HWASan [1] or future tools based on the Memory
Tagging Extension (MTE).
Expose these bits via the arch_untagged_si_addr mechanism, so that
they are only exposed to signal handlers with the SA_EXPOSE_TAGBITS
flag set.

Architectures that support address tagging, such as arm64, may want to
expose fault address tag bits to the signal handler to help diagnose
memory errors. However, these bits have not been previously set,
and their presence may confuse unaware user applications. Therefore,
introduce a SA_EXPOSE_TAGBITS flag bit in sa_flags that a signal
handler may use to explicitly request that the bits are set.
The generic signal handler APIs expect to receive tagged addresses.
Architectures may specify how to untag addresses in the case where
SA_EXPOSE_TAGBITS is clear by defining the arch_untagged_si_addr
function.

Define a sa_flags bit, SA_UNSUPPORTED, which will never be supported
in the uapi. The purpose of this flag bit is to allow userspace to
distinguish an old kernel that does not clear unknown sa_flags bits
from a kernel that supports every flag bit.
In other words, if userspace does something like:
act.sa_flags |= SA_UNSUPPORTED;
sigaction(SIGSEGV, &act, 0);
sigaction(SIGSEGV, 0, &oldact);
and finds that SA_UNSUPPORTED remains set in oldact.sa_flags, it means
that the kernel cannot be trusted to have cleared unknown flag bits
from sa_flags, so no assumptions about flag bit support can be made.

inline with the definitions in numerical order so that it is clear
why specific values must be chosen for new generic flags and to reduce

Previously we were not clearing non-uapi flag bits in
sigaction.sa_flags when storing the userspace-provided sa_flags or
when returning them via oldact. Start doing so.
This allows userspace to detect missing support for flag bits and
allows the kernel to use non-uapi bits internally, as we are already
doing in arch/x86 for two flag bits. Now that this change is in
place, we no longer need the code in arch/x86 that was hiding these
bits from userspace, so remove it.
This is technically a userspace-visible behavior change for sigaction, as
the unknown bits returned via oldact.sa_flags are no longer set. However,
we are free to define the behavior for unknown bits exactly because
their behavior is currently undefined, so for now we can define the
meaning of each of them to be "clear the bit in oldact.sa_flags unless
the bit becomes known in the future". Furthermore, this behavior is
consistent with OpenBSD [1], illumos [2] and XNU [3] (FreeBSD [4] and
NetBSD [5] fail the syscall if unknown bits are set). So there is some
precedent for this behavior in other kernels, and in particular in XNU,
which is probably the most popular kernel among those that I looked at,
which means that this change is less likely to be a compatibility issue.

Most architectures with the exception of alpha, mips, parisc and
sparc use the same values for these flags. Move their definitions into
asm-generic/signal-defs.h and allow the architectures with non-standard
values to override them. Also, document the non-standard flag values
in order to make it easier to add new generic flags in the future.
A consequence of this change is that on powerpc and x86, the constants'
values aside from SA_RESETHAND change signedness from unsigned
to signed. This is not expected to impact realistic use of these
constants. In particular the typical use of the constants where they
are or'ed together and assigned to sa_flags (or another int variable)
would not be affected.

I believe we can and *should* drop this parisc-specific typedef for
__sighandler_t when compiling a 64-bit kernel. The reasons:
1. We don't have a 64-bit userspace yet, so nothing (on userspace side)
can break.
2. Inside the Linux kernel, this is only used in kernel/signal.c, in
function kernel_sigaction() where the signal handler is compared against
SIG_IGN. SIG_IGN is defined as (__sighandler_t)1), so only the pointers
are compared.
3. Even when a 64-bit userspace gets added at some point, I think
__sighandler_t should be defined what it is: a function pointer struct.
I compiled kernel/signal.c with and without the patch, and the produced code
is identical in both cases.

We recently introduced a 1 GB sized ZONE_DMA to cater for platforms
incorporating masters that can address less than 32 bits of DMA, in
particular the Raspberry Pi 4, which has 4 or 8 GB of DRAM, but has
peripherals that can only address up to 1 GB (and its PCIe host
bridge can only access the bottom 3 GB)
Instructing the DMA layer about these limitations is straight-forward,
even though we had to fix some issues regarding memory limits set in
the IORT for named components, and regarding the handling of ACPI _DMA
methods. However, the DMA layer also needs to be able to allocate
memory that is guaranteed to meet those DMA constraints, for bounce
buffering as well as allocating the backing for consistent mappings.
This is why the 1 GB ZONE_DMA was introduced recently. Unfortunately,
it turns out the having a 1 GB ZONE_DMA as well as a ZONE_DMA32 causes
problems with kdump, and potentially in other places where allocations
cannot cross zone boundaries. Therefore, we should avoid having two
separate DMA zones when possible.
So let's do an early scan of the IORT, and only create the ZONE_DMA
if we encounter any devices that need it. This puts the burden on
the firmware to describe such limitations in the IORT, which may be
redundant (and less precise) if _DMA methods are also being provided.
However, it should be noted that this situation is highly unusual for
arm64 ACPI machines. Also, the DMA subsystem still gives precedence to
the _DMA method if implemented, and so we will not lose the ability to
perform streaming DMA outside the ZONE_DMA if the _DMA method permits
it.

physical address accessible to all DMA masters in system and use that
information to fine-tune ZONE_DMA's size. In the absence of addressing
limited masters ZONE_DMA will span the whole 32-bit address space,
otherwise, in the case of the Raspberry Pi 4 it'll only span the 30-bit
address space, and have ZONE_DMA32 cover the rest of the 32-bit address
space.

Currently, the kernel assumes that if RAM starts above 32-bit (or
zone_bits), there is still a ZONE_DMA/DMA32 at the bottom of the RAM and
such constrained devices have a hardwired DMA offset. In practice, we
haven't noticed any such hardware so let's assume that we can expand
ZONE_DMA32 to the available memory if no RAM below 4GB. Similarly,
ZONE_DMA is expanded to the 4GB limit if no RAM addressable by
zone_bits.

Even though support for EFI boot remains entirely optional for arm64,
it is unlikely that we will ever be able to repurpose the image header
fields that the EFI loader relies on, i.e., the magic NOP at offset
0x0 and the PE header address at offset 0x3c.
So let's factor out the differences into a 'efi_signature_nop' macro and
a local symbol representing the PE header address, and move the
conditional definitions into efi-header.S, taking into account whether
CONFIG_EFI is enabled or not. While at it, switch to a signature NOP
that behaves more like a NOP, i.e., one that only clobbers the
flags.

We no longer map the first 64 KB of the kernel image, as there is nothing

though facilities like kallsyms are very careful to only refer to the
region that starts at _stext when mapping virtual addresses to symbol
names, let's avoid any confusion by switching to local .L prefixed symbol
names for the EFI header, as none of them have any significance to the

Since 64 KB is also the largest page size we support, this completely
removes the need to map the first 64 KB of the kernel image, given that
it only contains the arm64 Image header and the EFI header, neither of
which we ever access again after booting the kernel. More importantly,
we should avoid an executable mapping of non-executable and not entirely
predictable data, to deal with the unlikely event that we inadvertently
emitted something that looks like an opcode that could be used as a
gadget for speculative execution.
So let's limit the kernel mapping of .text to the [_stext, _etext)
region, which matches the view of generic code (such as kallsyms) when
it reasons about the boundaries of the kernel's .text section.

If Activity Monitors (AMUs) are present, two of the counters can be used
to implement support for CPPC's (Collaborative Processor Performance
Control) delivered and reference performance monitoring functionality
using FFH (Functional Fixed Hardware).
Given that counters for a certain CPU can only be read from that CPU,
while FFH operations can be called from any CPU for any of the CPUs, use
smp_call_function_single() to provide the requested values.
Therefore, depending on the register addresses, the following values
are returned:
- 0x0 (DeliveredPerformanceCounterRegister): AMU core counter
- 0x1 (ReferencePerformanceCounterRegister): AMU constant counter
The use of Activity Monitors is hidden behind the generic
cpu_read_{corecnt,constcnt}() functions.
Read functionality for these two registers represents the only current
FFH support for CPPC. Read operations for other register values or write
operation for all registers are unsupported. Therefore, keep CPPC's FFH
unsupported if no CPUs have valid AMU frequency counters. For this
purpose, the get_cpu_with_amu_feat() is introduced.

Commit 8c96400d6a39be7 simplified the page-to-virt and virt-to-page
conversions, based on the assumption that struct page is always 64
bytes in size, in which case we can use a single signed shift to
perform the conversion (provided that the vmemmap array is placed
appropriately in the kernel VA space)
Unfortunately, this assumption turns out not to hold, and so we need
to revert part of this commit, and go back to an affine transformation.
Given that all the quantities involved are compile time constants,
this should not make any practical difference.

This adds a validation function that scans the entire boot memory and makes
sure that all early memory sections are online. This check is essential for
the memory notifier to work properly, as it cannot prevent any boot memory
from offlining, if all sections are not online to begin with. Although the
boot section scanning is selectively enabled with DEBUG_VM.

This moves memory notifier registration earlier in the boot process from
device_initcall() to early_initcall() which will help in guarding against
potential early boot memory offline requests. Even though there should not
be any actual offlinig requests till memory block devices are initialized
with memory_dev_init() but then generic init sequence might just change in
future. Hence an early registration for the memory event notifier would be
helpful. While here, just skip the registration if CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE
is not enabled and also call out when memory notifier registration fails.

As a hardening measure, we currently randomize the placement of
physical memory inside the linear region when KASLR is in effect.
Since the random offset at which to place the available physical
memory inside the linear region is chosen early at boot, it is
based on the memblock description of memory, which does not cover
hotplug memory. The consequence of this is that the randomization
offset may be chosen such that any hotplugged memory located above
memblock_end_of_DRAM() that appears later is pushed off the end of
the linear region, where it cannot be accessed.
So let's limit this randomization of the linear region to ensure
that this can no longer happen, by using the CPU's addressable PA
range instead. As it is guaranteed that no hotpluggable memory will
appear that falls outside of that range, we can safely put this PA
range sized window anywhere in the linear region.

Armv8.3 introduced the LDAPR instruction, which provides weaker memory
ordering semantics than LDARi (RCpc vs RCsc). Generally, we provide an
RCsc implementation when implementing the Linux memory model, but LDAPR
can be used as a useful alternative to dependency ordering, particularly
when the compiler is capable of breaking the dependencies.
Since LDAPR is not available on all CPUs, add a cpufeature to detect it at
runtime and allow the instruction to be used with alternative code
patching.

Tidy up the way the top of the kernel VA space is organized, by mirroring
the 256 MB region we have below the vmalloc space, and populating it top
down with the PCI I/O space, some guard regions, and the fixmap region.
The latter region is itself populated top down, and today only covers
about 4 MB, and so 224 MB is ample, and no guard region is therefore
required.
The resulting layout is identical between 48-bit/4k and 52-bit/64k
configurations.

Now that we have reverted the introduction of the vmemmap struct page
pointer and the separate physvirt_offset, we can simplify things further,
and place the vmemmap region in the VA space in such a way that virtual
to page translations and vice versa can be implemented using a single
arithmetic shift.
One happy coincidence resulting from this is that the 48-bit/4k and
52-bit/64k configurations (which are assumed to be the two most
prevalent) end up with the same placement of the vmemmap region. In
a subsequent patch, we will take advantage of this, and unify the
memory maps even more.

For historical reasons, the arm64 kernel VA space is configured as two
equally sized halves, i.e., on a 48-bit VA build, the VA space is split
into a 47-bit vmalloc region and a 47-bit linear region.
When support for 52-bit virtual addressing was added, this equal split
was kept, resulting in a substantial waste of virtual address space in
the linear region:
48-bit VA 52-bit VA
0xffff_ffff_ffff_ffff +-------------+ +-------------+
| vmalloc | | vmalloc |
0xffff_8000_0000_0000 +-------------+ _PAGE_END(48) +-------------+
| linear | : :
0xffff_0000_0000_0000 +-------------+ : :
: : : :
: : : :
: : : :
: : : currently :
: unusable : : :
: : : unused :
: by : : :
: : : :
: hardware : : :
: : : :
0xfff8_0000_0000_0000 : : _PAGE_END(52) +-------------+
: : | |
: : | |
: : | |
: : | |
: : | |
: unusable : | |

: : | |
: : | |
: : | |
: : | |
: : | |
0xfff0_0000_0000_0000 +-------------+ PAGE_OFFSET +-------------+
As illustrated above, the 52-bit VA kernel uses 47 bits for the vmalloc
space (as before), to ensure that a single 64k granule kernel image can
support any 64k granule capable system, regardless of whether it supports
the 52-bit virtual addressing extension. However, due to the fact that
the VA space is still split in equal halves, the linear region is only
2^51 bytes in size, wasting almost half of the 52-bit VA space.
Let's fix this, by abandoning the equal split, and simply assigning all
VA space outside of the vmalloc region to the linear region.
The KASAN shadow region is reconfigured so that it ends at the start of
the vmalloc region, and grows downwards. That way, the arrangement of
the vmalloc space (which contains kernel mappings, modules, BPF region,
the vmemmap array etc) is identical between non-KASAN and KASAN builds,
which aids debugging.

Further there was only one user ever.
- Android's loadfont, busybox and console-tools only ever use OP_GET
and OP_SET
- fbset documentation only mentions the kernel cmdline font: option,
not anything else.
- systemd used OP_COPY before release 232 published in Nov 2016
Now unfortunately the crucial report seems to have gone down with
gmane, and the commit message doesn't say much. But the pull request
hints at OP_COPY being broken
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/3651
So in other words, this never worked, and the only project which
foolishly every tried to use it, realized that rather quickly too.
Instead of trying to fix security issues here on dead code by adding
missing checks, fix the entire thing by removing the functionality.
Note that systemd code using the OP_COPY function ignored the return
value, so it doesn't matter what we're doing here really - just in
case a lone server somewhere happens to be extremely unlucky and
running an affected old version of systemd. The relevant code from
font_copy_to_all_vcs() in systemd was:
/* copy font from active VT, where the font was uploaded to */
cfo.op = KD_FONT_OP_COPY;
cfo.height = vcs.v_active-1; /* tty1 == index 0 */
(void) ioctl(vcfd, KDFONTOP, &cfo);
Note this just disables the ioctl, garbage collecting the now unused
callbacks is left for -next.

[ Side note: Christoph initially had a scripted "move everything over"
patch, which looks fine, but I personally would prefer us to actively
discourage splice() on random files. So this does just the minimal
basic core set of proc file op conversions.
For completeness, and in case people care, that script was
sed -i -e 's/\.proc_read\(\s*=\s*\)seq_read/\.proc_read_iter\1seq_read_iter/g'
but I'll wait and see if somebody has a strong argument for using
