Currently, riscv defines ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN as L1_CACHE_BYTES, I.E
64Bytes, if CONFIG_RISCV_DMA_NONCOHERENT=y. To support unified kernel
Image, usually we have to enable CONFIG_RISCV_DMA_NONCOHERENT, thus
it brings some bad effects to coherent platforms:
Firstly, it wastes memory, kmalloc-96, kmalloc-32, kmalloc-16 and
kmalloc-8 slab caches don't exist any more, they are replaced with
either kmalloc-128 or kmalloc-64.
Secondly, larger than necessary kmalloc aligned allocations results
in unnecessary cache/TLB pressure.
This issue also exists on arm64 platforms. From last year, Catalin
tried to solve this issue by decoupling ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN from
ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN, limiting kmalloc() minimum alignment to
dma_get_cache_alignment() and replacing ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN usage
in various drivers with ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN etc.[1]
One fact we can make use of for riscv: if the CPU doesn't support
ZICBOM or T-HEAD CMO, we know the platform is coherent. Based on
Catalin's work and above fact, we can easily solve the kmalloc align
issue for riscv: we can override dma_get_cache_alignment(), then let
it return ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN at the beginning and return 1 once we know
the underlying HW neither supports ZICBOM nor supports T-HEAD CMO.
So what about if the CPU supports ZICBOM or T-HEAD CMO, but all the
devices are dma coherent? Well, we use ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN as the
kmalloc minimum alignment, nothing changed in this case. This case
can be improved in the future.
After this patch, a simple test of booting to a small buildroot rootfs
on qemu shows:
kmalloc-96 5041 5041 96 ...
kmalloc-64 9606 9606 64 ...
kmalloc-32 5128 5128 32 ...
kmalloc-16 7682 7682 16 ...
kmalloc-8 10246 10246 8 ...
So we save about 1268KB memory. The saving will be much larger in normal
OS env on real HW platforms.

Add support for enabling and using the binfmt_elf_fdpic program loader
on RISC-V platforms. The most important change is to setup registers
during program load to pass the mapping addresses to the new process.
One of the interesting features of the elf-fdpic loader is that it
also allows appropriately compiled ELF format binaries to be loaded on
nommu systems. Appropriate being those compiled with -pie.

Commit f0bddf50586d ("riscv: entry: Convert to generic entry") moved
syscall handling to C code, which exposed function pointer type
mismatches that trip fine-grained forward-edge Control-Flow Integrity
(CFI) checks as syscall handlers are all called through the same
syscall_t pointer type. To fix the type mismatches, implement pt_regs
based syscall wrappers similarly to x86 and arm64.
This patch is based on arm64 syscall wrappers added in commit
4378a7d4be30 ("arm64: implement syscall wrappers"), where the main goal
was to minimize the risk of userspace-controlled values being used
under speculation. This may be a concern for riscv in future as well.
Following other architectures, the syscall wrappers generate three
functions for each syscall; __riscv_<compat_>sys_<name> takes a pt_regs
pointer and extracts arguments from registers, __se_<compat_>sys_<name>
is a sign-extension wrapper that casts the long arguments to the
correct types for the real syscall implementation, which is named
__do_<compat_>sys_<name>.

Andy Chiu <andy.chiu@sifive.com> says:
We add a vlenb field in Vector context and save it with the
riscv_vstate_save() macro. It should not cause performance regression as
VLENB is a design-time constant and is frequently used by hardware.
Also, adding this field into the __sc_riscv_v_state may benifit us on a
future compatibility issue becuse a hardware may have writable VLENB.
Adding and saving VLENB have an immediate benifit as it gives ptrace a
better view of the Vector extension and makes it possible to reconstruct
Vector register files from the dump without doing an additional csr read.
This patchset also sync the number of note types between us and gdb for
riscv to solve a conflicting note.
This is not an ABI break given that 6.5 has not been released yet.

asm-generic: partially revert "Unify uapi bitsperlong.h for arm64, riscv and loongarch"
Unifying the asm-generic headers across 32-bit and 64-bit architectures
based on the compiler provided macros was a good idea and appears to work
with all user space, but it caused a regression when building old kernels
on systems that have the new headers installed in /usr/include, as this
combination trips an inconsistency in the kernel's own tools/include
headers that are a mix of userspace and kernel-internal headers.
This affects kernel builds on arm64, riscv64 and loongarch64 systems that
might end up using the "#define __BITS_PER_LONG 32" default from the old
tools headers. Backporting the commit into stable kernels would address
this, but it would still break building kernels without that backport,
and waste time for developers trying to understand the problem.
arm64 build machines are rather common, and on riscv64 this can also
happen in practice, but loongarch64 is probably new enough to not
be used much for building old kernels, so only revert the bits
for arm64 and riscv.

Note that we don't need to implement flush_cache_vunmap() as the generic

The vmalloc_fault() path was removed and to avoid syncing the vmalloc PGD
mappings, they are now preallocated. But if the kernel can use a PUD
mapping (which in sv39 is actually a PGD mapping) for large vmalloc
allocation, it will free the current unused preallocated PGD mapping and
install a new leaf one. Since there is no sync anymore, some page tables
lack this new mapping and that triggers a panic.
So only allow PUD mappings for sv48 and sv57.

KVM userspaces need to be aware of the host SATP to allow them to
advertise it back to the guest OS.
Since this information is used to build the guest FDT we can't wait for
the SATP reg to be readable. We just need to read the SATP mode, thus
we can use the existing 'satp_mode' global that represents the SATP reg
with MODE set and both ASID and PPN cleared. E.g. for a 32 bit host
running with sv32 satp_mode is 0x80000000, for a 64 bit host running
sv57 satp_mode is 0xa000000000000000, and so on.
Add a new userspace virtual config register 'satp_mode' to allow
userspace to read the current SATP mode the host is using with
GET_ONE_REG API before spinning the vcpu.
'satp_mode' can't be changed via KVM, so SET_ONE_REG is allowed as long
as userspace writes the existing 'satp_mode'.

Currently, the ISA extension ONE_REG interface only allows enabling or
disabling one extension at a time. To improve this, we extend the ISA
extension ONE_REG interface (similar to SBI extension ONE_REG interface)
so that KVM user space can enable/disable multiple extensions in one
ioctl.

acpi_os_ioremap() currently is a wrapper to memremap() on

return __iomem address and hence sparse tool reports a new

Conor Dooley <conor.dooley@microchip.com> says:
Based on my latest iteration of deprecating riscv,isa [1], here's an
implementation of the new properties for Linux. The first few patches,
up to "RISC-V: split riscv_fill_hwcap() in 3", are all prep work that
further tames some of the extension related code, on top of my already
applied series that cleans up the ISA string parser.
Perhaps "RISC-V: shunt isa_ext_arr to cpufeature.c" is a bit gratuitous,
but I figured a bit of coalescing of extension related data structures
would be a good idea. Note that riscv,isa will still be used in the
absence of the new properties. Palmer suggested adding a Kconfig option
to turn off the fallback for DT, which I have gone and done. It's locked
behind the NONPORTABLE option for good reason.
* b4-shazam-merge:
RISC-V: provide Kconfig & commandline options to control parsing "riscv,isa"
RISC-V: try new extension properties in of_early_processor_hartid()
RISC-V: enable extension detection from dedicated properties
RISC-V: split riscv_fill_hwcap() in 3
RISC-V: add single letter extensions to riscv_isa_ext
RISC-V: add missing single letter extension definitions
RISC-V: repurpose riscv_isa_ext array in riscv_fill_hwcap()
RISC-V: shunt isa_ext_arr to cpufeature.c
RISC-V: drop a needless check in print_isa_ext()

As it says on the tin, provide Kconfig option to control parsing the
"riscv,isa" devicetree property. If either option is used, the kernel
will fall back to parsing "riscv,isa", where "riscv,isa-base" and
"riscv,isa-extensions" are not present.
The Kconfig options are set up so that the default kernel configuration
will enable the fallback path, without needing the commandline option.

Add support for parsing the new riscv,isa-extensions property in
riscv_fill_hwcap(), by means of a new "property" member of the
riscv_isa_ext_data struct. For now, this shadows the name of the
extension for all users, however this may not be the case for all
extensions, based on how the dt-binding is written.
For the sake of backwards compatibility, fall back to the old scheme
if the new properties are not detected. For now, just inform, rather
than warn, when that happens.

As that scope of the array as widened, prefix it with riscv & drop the

The x86 Shadow stack feature includes a new type of memory called shadow
stack. This shadow stack memory has some unusual properties, which requires
some core mm changes to function properly.
One of these unusual properties is that shadow stack memory is writable,
but only in limited ways. These limits are applied via a specific PTE
bit combination. Nevertheless, the memory is writable, and core mm code
will need to apply the writable permissions in the typical paths that
call pte_mkwrite(). The goal is to make pte_mkwrite() take a VMA, so
that the x86 implementation of it can know whether to create regular
writable or shadow stack mappings.
But there are a couple of challenges to this. Modifying the signatures of
each arch pte_mkwrite() implementation would be error prone because some
are generated with macros and would need to be re-implemented. Also, some
pte_mkwrite() callers operate on kernel memory without a VMA.
So this can be done in a three step process. First pte_mkwrite() can be
renamed to pte_mkwrite_novma() in each arch, with a generic pte_mkwrite()
added that just calls pte_mkwrite_novma(). Next callers without a VMA can
be moved to pte_mkwrite_novma(). And lastly, pte_mkwrite() and all callers
can be changed to take/pass a VMA.
Start the process by renaming pte_mkwrite() to pte_mkwrite_novma() and
adding the pte_mkwrite() wrapper in linux/pgtable.h. Apply the same
pattern for pmd_mkwrite(). Since not all archs have a pmd_mkwrite_novma(),
create a new arch config HAS_HUGE_PAGE that can be used to tell if
pmd_mkwrite() should be defined. Otherwise in the !HAS_HUGE_PAGE cases the
compiler would not be able to find pmd_mkwrite_novma().
No functional change.

The RISC-V vector specification states:
Executing a system call causes all caller-saved vector registers
(v0-v31, vl, vtype) and vstart to become unspecified.
The vector registers are set to all 1s, vill is set (invalid), and the
vector status is set to Dirty.
That way we can prevent userspace from accidentally relying on the
stated save.
Rémi pointed out [1] that writing to the registers might be
superfluous, and setting vill is sufficient.

- Add new feature to have function graph tracer record the return value.
Adds a new option: funcgraph-retval ; when set, will show the return
value of a function in the function graph tracer.
- Also add the option: funcgraph-retval-hex where if it is not set, and
the return value is an error code, then it will return the decimal of
the error code, otherwise it still reports the hex value.
- Add the file /sys/kernel/tracing/osnoise/per_cpu/cpu<cpu>/timerlat_fd
That when a application opens it, it becomes the task that the timer lat
tracer traces. The application can also read this file to find out how
it's being interrupted.
- Add the file /sys/kernel/tracing/available_filter_functions_addrs
that works just the same as available_filter_functions but also shows
the addresses of the functions like kallsyms, except that it gives the
address of where the fentry/mcount jump/nop is. This is used by BPF to
make it easier to attach BPF programs to ftrace hooks.
- Replace strlcpy with strscpy in the tracing boot code.

- Parallel CPU bringup
The reason why people are interested in parallel bringup is to shorten
the (kexec) reboot time of cloud servers to reduce the downtime of the
VM tenants.
The current fully serialized bringup does the following per AP:
1) Prepare callbacks (allocate, intialize, create threads)
2) Kick the AP alive (e.g. INIT/SIPI on x86)
3) Wait for the AP to report alive state
4) Let the AP continue through the atomic bringup
5) Let the AP run the threaded bringup to full online state
There are two significant delays:
#3 The time for an AP to report alive state in start_secondary() on
x86 has been measured in the range between 350us and 3.5ms
depending on vendor and CPU type, BIOS microcode size etc.
#4 The atomic bringup does the microcode update. This has been
measured to take up to ~8ms on the primary threads depending on
the microcode patch size to apply.
On a two socket SKL server with 56 cores (112 threads) the boot CPU
spends on current mainline about 800ms busy waiting for the APs to come
up and apply microcode. That's more than 80% of the actual onlining
procedure.
This can be reduced significantly by splitting the bringup mechanism
into two parts:
1) Run the prepare callbacks and kick the AP alive for each AP which
needs to be brought up.
The APs wake up, do their firmware initialization and run the low
level kernel startup code including microcode loading in parallel
up to the first synchronization point. (#1 and #2 above)
2) Run the rest of the bringup code strictly serialized per CPU
(#3 - #5 above) as it's done today.
Parallelizing that stage of the CPU bringup might be possible in
theory, but it's questionable whether required surgery would be
justified for a pretty small gain.
If the system is large enough the first AP is already waiting at the
first synchronization point when the boot CPU finished the wake-up of
the last AP. That reduces the AP bringup time on that SKL from ~800ms
to ~80ms, i.e. by a factor ~10x.
The actual gain varies wildly depending on the system, CPU, microcode
patch size and other factors. There are some opportunities to reduce
the overhead further, but that needs some deep surgery in the x86 CPU
bringup code.
For now this is only enabled on x86, but the core functionality
obviously works for all SMP capable architectures.
- Enhancements for SMP function call tracing so it is possible to locate
the scheduling and the actual execution points. That allows to measure
IPI delivery time precisely.
