Currently the detection+enablement of boot cpucaps is separate from the
patching of boot cpucap alternatives, which means there's a period where
cpus_have_cap($CAP) and alternative_has_cap($CAP) may be mismatched.
It would be preferable to manage the boot cpucaps in the same way as the
system cpucaps, both for clarity and to minimize the risk of accidental
usage of code relying upon an alternative which has not yet been
patched.
This patch aligns the handling of boot cpucaps with the handling of
system cpucaps:
* The existing setup_boot_cpu_capabilities() function is moved to be
closer to the setup_system_capabilities() and setup_system_features()
functions so that they're more clearly related and more likely to be
updated together in future.
* The patching of boot cpucap alternatives is moved into
setup_boot_cpu_capabilities(), immediately after boot cpucaps are
detected and enabled.
* A new setup_boot_cpu_features() function is added to mirror
setup_system_features(); this handles initialization of cpucap data
structures and calls setup_boot_cpu_capabilities(). This makes
init_cpu_features() a closer mirror to update_cpu_features(), and
makes smp_prepare_boot_cpu() a closer mirror to smp_cpus_done().
Importantly, while these changes alter the structure of the code, they
retain the existing order of calls to:
init_cpu_features(); // prefix initializing feature regs
init_cpucap_indirect_list();
detect_system_supports_pseudo_nmi();
update_cpu_capabilities(SCOPE_BOOT_CPU | SCOPE_LOCAL_CPU);
enable_cpu_capabilities(SCOPE_BOOT_CPU);
apply_boot_alternatives();
... and hence there should be no functional change as a result of this
patch; this is purely a structural cleanup.

Recent changes to remove cpus_have_const_cap() introduced new users of
cpus_have_cap() in the period between detecting system cpucaps and
patching alternatives. It would be preferable to defer these until after
the relevant cpucaps have been patched so that these can use the usual
feature check helper functions, which is clearer and has less risk of
accidental usage of code relying upon an alternative which has not yet
been patched.
This patch reworks the system-wide cpucap detection and patching to
minimize this transient period:
* The detection, enablement, and patching of system cpucaps is moved
into a new setup_system_capabilities() function so that these can be
grouped together more clearly, with no other functions called in the
period between detection and patching. This is called from
setup_system_features() before the subsequent checks that depend on
the cpucaps.
The logging of TTBR0 PAN and cpucaps with a mask is also moved here to
keep these as close as possible to update_cpu_capabilities().
At the same time, comments are corrected and improved to make the
intent clearer.
* As hyp_mode_check() only tests system register values (not hwcaps) and
must be called prior to patching, the call to hyp_mode_check() is
moved before the call to setup_system_features().
* In setup_system_features(), the use of system_uses_ttbr0_pan() is
restored, now that this occurs after alternatives are patched. This is
a partial revert of commit:
53d62e995d9eaed1 ("arm64: Avoid cpus_have_const_cap() for ARM64_HAS_PAN")
* In sve_setup() and sme_setup(), the use of system_supports_sve() and
system_supports_sme() respectively are restored, now that these occur
after alternatives are patched. This is a partial revert of commit:
a76521d160284a1e ("arm64: Avoid cpus_have_const_cap() for ARM64_{SVE,SME,SME2,FA64}")

Now that kernel mode FPSIMD state is context switched along with other
task state, we can enable the existing logic that keeps track of which
task's FPSIMD state the CPU is holding in its registers. If it is the
context of the task that we are switching to, we can elide the reload of
the FPSIMD state from memory.
Note that we also need to check whether the FPSIMD state on this CPU is
the most recent: if a task gets migrated away and back again, the state
in memory may be more recent than the state in the CPU. So add another
CPU id field to task_struct to keep track of this. (We could reuse the
existing CPU id field used for user mode context, but that might result
in user state to be discarded unnecessarily, given that two distinct
CPUs could be holding the most recent user mode state and the most
recent kernel mode state)

Currently, the FPSIMD register file is not preserved and restored along
with the general registers on exception entry/exit or context switch.
For this reason, we disable preemption when enabling FPSIMD for kernel
mode use in task context, and suspend the processing of softirqs so that
there are no concurrent uses in the kernel. (Kernel mode FPSIMD may not
be used at all in other contexts).
Disabling preemption while doing CPU intensive work on inputs of
potentially unbounded size is bad for real-time performance, which is
why we try and ensure that SIMD crypto code does not operate on more
than ~4k at a time, which is an arbitrary limit and requires assembler
code to implement efficiently.
We can avoid the need for disabling preemption if we can ensure that any
in-kernel users of the NEON will not lose the FPSIMD register state
across a context switch. And given that disabling softirqs implicitly
disables preemption as well, we will also have to ensure that a softirq
that runs code using FPSIMD can safely interrupt an in-kernel user.
So introduce a thread_info flag TIF_KERNEL_FPSTATE, and modify the
context switch hook for FPSIMD to preserve and restore the kernel mode
FPSIMD to/from struct thread_struct when it is set. This avoids any
scheduling blackouts due to prolonged use of FPSIMD in kernel mode,
without the need for manual yielding.
In order to support softirq processing while FPSIMD is being used in
kernel task context, use the same flag to decide whether the kernel mode
FPSIMD state needs to be preserved and restored before allowing FPSIMD
to be used in softirq context.

Kernel mode NEON will preserve the user mode FPSIMD state by saving it
into the task struct before clobbering the registers. In order to avoid
the need for preserving kernel mode state too, we disallow nested use of
kernel mode NEON, i..e, use in softirq context while the interrupted
task context was using kernel mode NEON too.
Originally, this policy was implemented using a per-CPU flag which was
exposed via may_use_simd(), requiring the users of the kernel mode NEON
to deal with the possibility that it might return false, and having NEON
and non-NEON code paths. This policy was changed by commit
13150149aa6ded1 ("arm64: fpsimd: run kernel mode NEON with softirqs
disabled"), and now, softirq processing is disabled entirely instead,
and so may_use_simd() can never fail when called from task or softirq
context.
This means we can drop the fpsimd_context_busy flag entirely, and
instead, ensure that we disable softirq processing in places where we
formerly relied on the flag for preventing races in the FPSIMD preserve
routines.

Instead of using sprintf() with the "%s.%s=" format, where the first
string argument is always the same in the inner loop of match_options(),
use simple memcpy() for string concatenation, and move the first copy to

The only way parameq() and parameqn() deviate from the ordinary string
and memory routines is that they ignore the difference between dashes
and underscores.
Since we copy each command line argument into a buffer before passing it
to parameq() and parameqn() numerous times, let's just convert all
dashes to underscores just once, and update the alias array accordingly.
This also helps reduce the dependency on kernel APIs that are no longer
available once we move this code into the early mini C runtime.

The ID reg override handling code uses a rather elaborate data structure
that relies on statically initialized absolute address values in pointer
fields. This means that this code cannot run until relocation fixups
have been applied, and this is unfortunate, because it means we cannot
discover overrides for KASLR or LVA/LPA without creating the kernel
mapping and performing the relocations first.
This can be solved by switching to place-relative relocations, which can
be applied by the linker at build time. This means some additional
arithmetic is required when dereferencing these pointers, as we can no
longer dereference the pointer members directly.
So let's implement this for idreg-override.c in a preliminary way, i.e.,
convert all the references in code to use a special accessor that
produces the correct absolute value at runtime.

Back in 2016, it was argued that implementations lacking a HW
prefetcher could be helped by sprinkling a number of PRFM
instructions in strategic locations.
In 2023, the one platform that presumably needed this hack is no
longer in active use (let alone maintained), and an quick
experiment shows dropping this hack only leads to a 0.4% drop
on a full kernel compilation (tested on a MT30-GS0 48 CPU system).
Given that this is pretty much in the noise department and that
it may give odd ideas to other implementers, drop the hack for
good.

In commit 44bd78dd2b88 ("irqchip/gic-v3: Disable pseudo NMIs on
MediaTek devices w/ firmware issues") we added a method for detecting
MediaTek devices with broken firmware and disabled pseudo-NMI. While
that worked, it didn't address the problem at a deep enough level.
The fundamental issue with this broken firmware is that it's not
saving and restoring several important GICR registers. The current
list is believed to be:
* GICR_NUM_IPRIORITYR
* GICR_CTLR
* GICR_ISPENDR0
* GICR_ISACTIVER0
* GICR_NSACR
Pseudo-NMI didn't work because it was the only thing (currently) in
the kernel that relied on the broken registers, so forcing pseudo-NMI
off was an effective fix. However, it could be observed that calling
system_uses_irq_prio_masking() on these systems still returned
"true". That caused confusion and led to the need for
commit a07a59415217 ("arm64: smp: avoid NMI IPIs with broken MediaTek
FW"). It's worried that the incorrect value returned by
system_uses_irq_prio_masking() on these systems will continue to
confuse future developers.
Let's fix the issue a little more completely by disabling IRQ
priorities at a deeper level in the kernel. Once we do this we can
revert some of the other bits of code dealing with this quirk.
This includes a partial revert of commit 44bd78dd2b88
("irqchip/gic-v3: Disable pseudo NMIs on MediaTek devices w/ firmware
issues"). This isn't a full revert because it leaves some of the
changes to the "quirks" structure around in case future code needs it.

* Generalized infrastructure for 'writable' ID registers, effectively

* Improvements to KVM's PMU emulation, allowing userspace to select

* Guest support for memory operation instructions (FEAT_MOPS)
* Cleanups to handling feature flags in KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT, squashing

* Changes to the way the SMCCC filter is constructed, avoiding wasted
memory allocations when not in use
* Load the stage-2 MMU context at vcpu_load() for VHE systems, reducing
the overhead of errata mitigations
* Miscellaneous kernel and selftest fixes
LoongArch:
* New architecture. The hardware uses the same model as x86, s390
and RISC-V, where guest/host mode is orthogonal to supervisor/user
mode. The virtualization extensions are very similar to MIPS,
therefore the code also has some similarities but it's been cleaned
up to avoid some of the historical bogosities that are found in
arch/mips. The kernel emulates MMU, timer and CSR accesses, while
interrupt controllers are only emulated in userspace, at least for
now.
RISC-V:
* Support for the Smstateen and Zicond extensions
* Support for virtualizing senvcfg
* Support for virtualized SBI debug console (DBCN)
S390:
* Nested page table management can be monitored through tracepoints
and statistics
x86:
* Fix incorrect handling of VMX posted interrupt descriptor in KVM_SET_LAPIC,
which could result in a dropped timer IRQ
* Avoid WARN on systems with Intel IPI virtualization
* Add CONFIG_KVM_MAX_NR_VCPUS, to allow supporting up to 4096 vCPUs without
forcing more common use cases to eat the extra memory overhead.
* Add virtualization support for AMD SRSO mitigation (IBPB_BRTYPE and
SBPB, aka Selective Branch Predictor Barrier).
* Fix a bug where restoring a vCPU snapshot that was taken within 1 second of
creating the original vCPU would cause KVM to try to synchronize the vCPU's
TSC and thus clobber the correct TSC being set by userspace.
* Compute guest wall clock using a single TSC read to avoid generating an
inaccurate time, e.g. if the vCPU is preempted between multiple TSC reads.
* "Virtualize" HWCR.TscFreqSel to make Linux guests happy, which complain
about a "Firmware Bug" if the bit isn't set for select F/M/S combos.
Likewise "virtualize" (ignore) MSR_AMD64_TW_CFG to appease Windows Server
2022.
* Don't apply side effects to Hyper-V's synthetic timer on writes from
userspace to fix an issue where the auto-enable behavior can trigger
spurious interrupts, i.e. do auto-enabling only for guest writes.
* Remove an unnecessary kick of all vCPUs when synchronizing the dirty log
without PML enabled.
* Advertise "support" for non-serializing FS/GS base MSR writes as appropriate.
* Harden the fast page fault path to guard against encountering an invalid
root when walking SPTEs.
* Omit "struct kvm_vcpu_xen" entirely when CONFIG_KVM_XEN=n.
* Use the fast path directly from the timer callback when delivering Xen
timer events, instead of waiting for the next iteration of the run loop.
This was not done so far because previously proposed code had races,
but now care is taken to stop the hrtimer at critical points such as
restarting the timer or saving the timer information for userspace.
* Follow the lead of upstream Xen and ignore the VCPU_SSHOTTMR_future flag.
* Optimize injection of PMU interrupts that are simultaneous with NMIs.
* Usual handful of fixes for typos and other warts.
x86 - MTRR/PAT fixes and optimizations:
* Clean up code that deals with honoring guest MTRRs when the VM has
non-coherent DMA and host MTRRs are ignored, i.e. EPT is enabled.
* Zap EPT entries when non-coherent DMA assignment stops/start to prevent
using stale entries with the wrong memtype.
* Don't ignore guest PAT for CR0.CD=1 && KVM_X86_QUIRK_CD_NW_CLEARED=y.
This was done as a workaround for virtual machine BIOSes that did not
bother to clear CR0.CD (because ancient KVM/QEMU did not bother to
set it, in turn), and there's zero reason to extend the quirk to
also ignore guest PAT.
x86 - SEV fixes:
* Report KVM_EXIT_SHUTDOWN instead of EINVAL if KVM intercepts SHUTDOWN while
running an SEV-ES guest.
* Clean up the recognition of emulation failures on SEV guests, when KVM would
like to "skip" the instruction but it had already been partially emulated.
This makes it possible to drop a hack that second guessed the (insufficient)
information provided by the emulator, and just do the right thing.
Documentation:
* Various updates and fixes, mostly for x86
* MTRR and PAT fixes and optimizations:

To help make the move of sysctls out of kernel/sysctl.c not incur a size
penalty sysctl has been changed to allow us to not require the sentinel, the
final empty element on the sysctl array. Joel Granados has been doing all this
work. On the v6.6 kernel we got the major infrastructure changes required to
support this. For v6.7-rc1 we have all arch/ and drivers/ modified to remove
the sentinel. Both arch and driver changes have been on linux-next for a bit
less than a month. It is worth re-iterating the value:
- this helps reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory consumed by the kernel by about ~64 bytes per array
- the extra 64-byte penalty is no longer inncurred now when we move sysctls
out from kernel/sysctl.c to their own files
For v6.8-rc1 expect removal of all the sentinels and also then the unneeded
check for procname == NULL.
The last 2 patches are fixes recently merged by Krister Johansen which allow
us again to use softlockup_panic early on boot. This used to work but the
alias work broke it. This is useful for folks who want to detect softlockups
super early rather than wait and spend money on cloud solutions with nothing
but an eventual hung kernel. Although this hadn't gone through linux-next it's
also a stable fix, so we might as well roll through the fixes now.

Currently, there is no standard implementation for vdso_install,
leading to various issues:
1. Code duplication
Many architectures duplicate similar code just for copying files
to the install destination.
Some architectures (arm, sparc, x86) create build-id symlinks,
introducing more code duplication.
2. Unintended updates of in-tree build artifacts
The vdso_install rule depends on the vdso files to install.
It may update in-tree build artifacts. This can be problematic,
as explained in commit 19514fc665ff ("arm, kbuild: make
"make install" not depend on vmlinux").
3. Broken code in some architectures
Makefile code is often copied from one architecture to another
without proper adaptation.
'make vdso_install' for parisc does not work.
'make vdso_install' for s390 installs vdso64, but not vdso32.
To address these problems, this commit introduces a generic vdso_install
rule.
Architectures that support vdso_install need to define vdso-install-y
in arch/*/Makefile. vdso-install-y lists the files to install.
For example, arch/x86/Makefile looks like this:
vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_64) += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso64.so.dbg
vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI) += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdsox32.so.dbg
vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_32) += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg
vdso-install-$(CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION) += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg
These files will be installed to $(MODLIB)/vdso/ with the .dbg suffix,
if exists, stripped away.
vdso-install-y can optionally take the second field after the colon
separator. This is needed because some architectures install a vdso
file as a different base name.
The following is a snippet from arch/arm64/Makefile.
vdso-install-$(CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO) += arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/vdso.so.dbg:vdso32.so
This will rename vdso.so.dbg to vdso32.so during installation. If such
architectures change their implementation so that the base names match,
this workaround will go away.

The counting of module PLTs has been broken when CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE=n
since commit:
3e35d303ab7d22c4 ("arm64: module: rework module VA range selection")
Prior to that commit, when CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE=n, the kernel image and
all modules were placed within a 128M region, and no PLTs were necessary
for B or BL. Hence count_plts() and partition_branch_plt_relas() skipped
handling B and BL when CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE=n.
After that commit, modules can be placed anywhere within a 2G window
regardless of CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE, and hence PLTs may be necessary for
B and BL even when CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE=n. Unfortunately that commit
failed to update count_plts() and partition_branch_plt_relas()
accordingly.
Due to this, module_emit_plt_entry() may fail if an insufficient number
of PLT entries have been reserved, resulting in modules failing to load
with -ENOEXEC.
Fix this by counting PLTs regardless of CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE in
count_plts() and partition_branch_plt_relas().

The AMU feature can be enabled on a subset of the cores in a system.
Because of that, it prints a message for each core as it is detected.
This becomes tedious when there are hundreds of cores. Instead, for
CPU features which can be enabled on a subset of the present cores,
lets wait until update_cpu_capabilities() and print the subset of cores
the feature was enabled on.

get_user_pages_remote() will never return 0 except in the case of
FOLL_NOWAIT being specified, which we explicitly disallow.
This simplifies error handling for the caller and avoids the awkwardness
of dealing with both errors and failing to pin. Failing to pin here is an
error.

After the vga console no longer relies on global screen_info, there are
only two remaining use cases:
- on the x86 architecture, it is used for multiple boot methods
(bzImage, EFI, Xen, kexec) to commucate the initial VGA or framebuffer
settings to a number of device drivers.
- on other architectures, it is only used as part of the EFI stub,
and only for the three sysfb framebuffers (simpledrm, simplefb, efifb).
Remove the duplicate data structure definitions by moving it into the
efi-init.c file that sets it up initially for the EFI case, leaving x86
as an exception that retains its own definition for non-EFI boots.
The added #ifdefs here are optional, I added them to further limit the
reach of screen_info to configurations that have at least one of the
users enabled.

set_ptes() sets a physically contiguous block of memory (which all
belongs to the same folio) to a contiguous block of ptes. The arm64
implementation of this previously just looped, operating on each
individual pte. But the __sync_icache_dcache() and mte_sync_tags()
operations can both be hoisted out of the loop so that they are
performed once for the contiguous set of pages (which may be less than
the whole folio). This should result in minor performance gains.
__sync_icache_dcache() already acts on the whole folio, and sets a flag
in the folio so that it skips duplicate calls. But by hoisting the call,
all the pte testing is done only once.
mte_sync_tags() operates on each individual page with its own loop. But
by passing the number of pages explicitly, we can rely solely on its
loop and do the checks only once. This approach also makes it robust for
the future, rather than assuming if a head page of a compound page is
being mapped, then the whole compound page is being mapped, instead we
explicitly know how many pages are being mapped. The old assumption may
not continue to hold once the "anonymous large folios" feature is
merged.

In has_useable_cnp() we use cpus_have_const_cap() to check for
ARM64_WORKAROUND_NVIDIA_CARMEL_CNP, but this is not necessary and
cpus_have_cap() would be preferable.
For historical reasons, cpus_have_const_cap() is more complicated than
it needs to be. Before cpucaps are finalized, it will perform a bitmap
test of the system_cpucaps bitmap, and once cpucaps are finalized it
will use an alternative branch. This used to be necessary to handle some
race conditions in the window between cpucap detection and the
subsequent patching of alternatives and static branches, where different
branches could be out-of-sync with one another (or w.r.t. alternative
sequences). Now that we use alternative branches instead of static
branches, these are all patched atomically w.r.t. one another, and there
are only a handful of cases that need special care in the window between
cpucap detection and alternative patching.
Due to the above, it would be nice to remove cpus_have_const_cap(), and
migrate callers over to alternative_has_cap_*(), cpus_have_final_cap(),
or cpus_have_cap() depending on when their requirements. This will
remove redundant instructions and improve code generation, and will make
it easier to determine how each callsite will behave before, during, and
after alternative patching.
We use has_useable_cnp() to determine whether we have the system-wide
ARM64_HAS_CNP cpucap. Due to the structure of the cpufeature code, we
call has_useable_cnp() in two distinct cases:
1) When finalizing system capabilities, setup_system_capabilities() will
call has_useable_cnp() with SCOPE_SYSTEM to determine whether all
CPUs have the feature. This is called after we've detected any local
cpucaps including ARM64_WORKAROUND_NVIDIA_CARMEL_CNP, but prior to
patching alternatives.
If the ARM64_WORKAROUND_NVIDIA_CARMEL_CNP was detected, we will not
detect ARM64_HAS_CNP.
2) After finalizing system capabilties, verify_local_cpu_capabilities()
will call has_useable_cnp() with SCOPE_LOCAL_CPU to verify that CPUs
have CNP if we previously detected it.
Note that if ARM64_WORKAROUND_NVIDIA_CARMEL_CNP was detected, we will
not have detected ARM64_HAS_CNP.
For case 1 we must check the system_cpucaps bitmap as this occurs prior
to patching the alternatives. For case 2 we'll only call
has_useable_cnp() once per subsequent onlining of a CPU, and as this
isn't a fast path it's not necessary to optimize for this case.
This patch replaces the use of cpus_have_const_cap() with
cpus_have_cap(), which will only generate the bitmap test and avoid
generating an alternative sequence, resulting in slightly simpler annd
smaller code being generated. The ARM64_WORKAROUND_NVIDIA_CARMEL_CNP
cpucap is added to cpucap_is_possible() so that code can be elided
entirely when this is not possible.

The ARM64_WORKAROUND_1742098 cpucap is detected and patched before
elf_hwcap_fixup() can run, and hence it is not necessary to use
cpus_have_const_cap(). We run cpus_have_const_cap() at most twice: once
after finalizing system cpucaps, and potentially once more after
detecting mismatched CPUs which support AArch32 at EL0. Due to this,
it's not necessary to optimize for many calls to elf_hwcap_fixup(), and
it's fine to use cpus_have_cap().
This patch replaces the use of cpus_have_const_cap() with
cpus_have_cap(), which will only generate the bitmap test and avoid
generating an alternative sequence, resulting in slightly simpler annd
smaller code being generated. For consistenct with other cpucaps, the
ARM64_WORKAROUND_1742098 cpucap is added to cpucap_is_possible() so that

The ARM64_WORKAROUND_1542419 cpucap is detected and patched before any

The ARM64_UNMAP_KERNEL_AT_EL0 cpucap is a system-wide feature that is
detected and patched before any translation tables are created for
userspace. In the window between detecting the ARM64_UNMAP_KERNEL_AT_EL0
cpucap and patching alternatives, most users of
arm64_kernel_unmapped_at_el0() do not need to know that the cpucap has
been detected:
* As KVM is initialized after cpucaps are finalized, no usaef of
arm64_kernel_unmapped_at_el0() in the KVM code is reachable during
this window.
* The arm64_mm_context_get() function in arch/arm64/mm/context.c is only
called after the SMMU driver is brought up after alternatives have
been patched. Thus this can safely use cpus_have_final_cap() or
alternative_has_cap_*().
Similarly the asids_update_limit() function is called after
alternatives have been patched as an arch_initcall, and this can
safely use cpus_have_final_cap() or alternative_has_cap_*().
Similarly we do not expect an ASID rollover to occur between cpucaps
being detected and patching alternatives. Thus
set_reserved_asid_bits() can safely use cpus_have_final_cap() or
alternative_has_cap_*().
* The __tlbi_user() and __tlbi_user_level() macros are not used during
this window, and only need to invalidate additional entries once
userspace translation tables have been active on a CPU. Thus these can
safely use alternative_has_cap_*().
* The xen_kernel_unmapped_at_usr() function is not used during this
window as it is only used in a late_initcall. Thus this can safely use
cpus_have_final_cap() or alternative_has_cap_*().
* The arm64_get_meltdown_state() function is not used during this
window. It only used by arm64_get_meltdown_state() and KVM code, both
of which are only used after cpucaps have been finalized. Thus this
can safely use cpus_have_final_cap() or alternative_has_cap_*().
* The tls_thread_switch() uses arm64_kernel_unmapped_at_el0() as an
optimization to avoid zeroing tpidrro_el0 when KPTI is enabled
and this will be trampled by the KPTI trampoline. It doesn't matter if
this continues to zero the register during the window between
detecting the cpucap and patching alternatives, so this can safely use
alternative_has_cap_*().
* The sdei_arch_get_entry_point() and do_sdei_event() functions aren't
reachable at this time as the SDEI driver is registered later by
acpi_init() -> acpi_ghes_init() -> sdei_init(), where acpi_init is a
subsys_initcall. Thus these can safely use cpus_have_final_cap() or
alternative_has_cap_*().
* The uses under drivers/ aren't reachable at this time as the drivers
are registered later:
- TRBE is registered via module_init()
- SMMUv3 is registred via module_driver()
- SPE is registred via module_init()
* The arm64_get_bp_hardening_vector() and this_cpu_set_vectors()
functions need to run on boot CPUs prior to patching alternatives.
As these are only called during the onlining of a CPU, it's fine to
perform a system_cpucaps bitmap test using cpus_have_cap().
This patch modifies this_cpu_set_vectors() to use cpus_have_cap(), and
replaced all other use of cpus_have_const_cap() with
alternative_has_cap_unlikely(), which will avoid generating code to test
the system_cpucaps bitmap and should be better for all subsequent calls
at runtime. The ARM64_UNMAP_KERNEL_AT_EL0 cpucap is added to
cpucap_is_possible() so that code can be elided entirely when this is

All of system_supports_{sve,sme,sme2,fa64}() will return false prior to

detected and patching alternatives, we need system_supports_sve() and
system_supports_sme() to run to initialize SVE and SME properties, but
all other users of system_supports_{sve,sme,sme2,fa64}() don't depend on
the relevant cpucap becoming true until alternatives are patched:
* No KVM code runs until after alternatives are patched, and so this can
safely use cpus_have_final_cap() or alternative_has_cap_*().
* The cpuid_cpu_online() callback in arch/arm64/kernel/cpuinfo.c is
registered later from cpuinfo_regs_init() as a device_initcall, and so
this can safely use cpus_have_final_cap() or alternative_has_cap_*().
* The entry, signal, and ptrace code isn't reachable until userspace has
run, and so this can safely use cpus_have_final_cap() or
alternative_has_cap_*().
* Currently perf_reg_validate() will un-reserve the PERF_REG_ARM64_VG
pseudo-register before alternatives are patched, and before
sve_setup() has run. If a sampling event is created early enough, this
would allow perf_ext_reg_value() to sample (the as-yet uninitialized)
thread_struct::vl[] prior to alternatives being patched.
It would be preferable to defer this until alternatives are patched,
and this can safely use alternative_has_cap_*().
* The context-switch code will run during this window as part of
stop_machine() used during alternatives_patch_all(), and potentially
for other work if other kernel threads are created early. No threads
require the use of SVE/SME/SME2/FA64 prior to alternatives being
patched, and it would be preferable for the related context-switch
logic to take effect after alternatives are patched so that ths is
guaranteed to see a consistent system-wide state (e.g. anything
initialized by sve_setup() and sme_setup().
This can safely ues alternative_has_cap_*().
This patch replaces the use of cpus_have_const_cap() with
alternative_has_cap_unlikely(), which will avoid generating code to test
the system_cpucaps bitmap and should be better for all subsequent calls
at runtime. The sve_setup() and sme_setup() functions are modified to
use cpus_have_cap() directly so that they can observe the cpucaps being

it needs to be. Before cpucaps are finalized, it will perform a bitmap
test of the system_cpucaps bitmap, and once cpucaps are finalized it
will use an alternative branch. This used to be necessary to handle some
race conditions in the window between cpucap detection and the
subsequent patching of alternatives and static branches, where different
branches could be out-of-sync with one another (or w.r.t. alternative
sequences). Now that we use alternative branches instead of static
branches, these are all patched atomically w.r.t. one another, and there
are only a handful of cases that need special care in the window between
cpucap detection and alternative patching.
Due to the above, it would be nice to remove cpus_have_const_cap(), and
migrate callers over to alternative_has_cap_*(), cpus_have_final_cap(),
or cpus_have_cap() depending on when their requirements. This will
remove redundant instructions and improve code generation, and will make
it easier to determine how each callsite will behave before, during, and
after alternative patching.
The ARM64_HAS_PAN cpucap is used by system_uses_hw_pan() and
system_uses_ttbr0_pan() depending on whether CONFIG_ARM64_SW_TTBR0_PAN
is selected, and:
* We only use system_uses_hw_pan() directly in __sdei_handler(), which
isn't reachable until after alternatives have been patched, and for
this it is safe to use alternative_has_cap_*().
* We use system_uses_ttbr0_pan() in a few places:
- In check_and_switch_context() and cpu_uninstall_idmap(), which will
defer installing a translation table into TTBR0 when the
ARM64_HAS_PAN cpucap is not detected.
Prior to patching alternatives, all CPUs will be using init_mm with
the reserved ttbr0 translation tables install in TTBR0, so these can
safely use alternative_has_cap_*().
- In update_saved_ttbr0(), which will only save the active TTBR0 into
a per-thread variable when the ARM64_HAS_PAN cpucap is not detected.
Prior to patching alternatives, all CPUs will be using init_mm with
the reserved ttbr0 translation tables install in TTBR0, so these can
safely use alternative_has_cap_*().
- In efi_set_pgd(), which will handle check_and_switch_context()
deferring the installation of TTBR0 when TTBR0 PAN is detected.
The EFI runtime services are not initialized until after
alternatives have been patched, and so this can safely use
alternative_has_cap_*() or cpus_have_final_cap().
- In uaccess_ttbr0_disable() and uaccess_ttbr0_enable(), where we'll
avoid installing/uninstalling a translation table in TTBR0 when
ARM64_HAS_PAN is detected.
Prior to patching alternatives we will not perform any uaccess and
will not call uaccess_ttbr0_disable() or uaccess_ttbr0_enable(), and
so these can safely use alternative_has_cap_*() or
cpus_have_final_cap().
- In is_el1_permission_fault() where we will consider a translation
fault on a TTBR0 address to be a permission fault when ARM64_HAS_PAN
is not detected *and* we have set the PAN bit in the SPSR (which
tells us that in the interrupted context, TTBR0 pointed at the
reserved zero ttbr).
In the window between detecting system cpucaps and patching
alternatives we should not perform any accesses to TTBR0 addresses,
and no userspace translation tables exist until after patching
alternatives. Thus it is safe for this to use alternative_has_cap*().
This patch replaces the use of cpus_have_const_cap() with
alternative_has_cap_unlikely(), which will avoid generating code to test
the system_cpucaps bitmap and should be better for all subsequent calls
at runtime.
So that the check for TTBR0 PAN in setup_cpu_features() can run prior to
alternatives being patched, the call to system_uses_ttbr0_pan() is
replaced with an explicit check of the ARM64_HAS_PAN bit in the
system_cpucaps bitmap.
