* arm64: documentation: document tagged pointer stack constraintsKristina Martsenko2017-05-091-15/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some kernel features don't currently work if a task puts a non-zero address tag in its stack pointer, frame pointer, or frame record entries (FP, LR). For example, with a tagged stack pointer, the kernel can't deliver signals to the process, and the task is killed instead. As another example, with a tagged frame pointer or frame records, perf fails to generate call graphs or resolve symbols. For now, just document these limitations, instead of finding and fixing everything that doesn't work, as it's not known if anyone needs to use tags in these places anyway. In addition, as requested by Dave Martin, generalize the limitations into a general kernel address tag policy, and refactor tagged-pointers.txt to include it.

* irqchip/gicv3-its: Add workaround for QDF2400 ITS erratum 0065Shanker Donthineni2017-03-071-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On Qualcomm Datacenter Technologies QDF2400 SoCs, the ITS hardware implementation uses 16Bytes for Interrupt Translation Entry (ITE), but reports an incorrect value of 8Bytes in GITS_TYPER.ITTE_size. It might cause kernel memory corruption depending on the number of MSI(x) that are configured and the amount of memory that has been allocated for ITEs in its_create_device(). This patch fixes the potential memory corruption by setting the correct ITE size to 16Bytes.

* arm64: Work around Falkor erratum 1003Christopher Covington2017-02-101-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Qualcomm Datacenter Technologies Falkor v1 CPU may allocate TLB entries using an incorrect ASID when TTBRx_EL1 is being updated. When the erratum is triggered, page table entries using the new translation table base address (BADDR) will be allocated into the TLB using the old ASID. All circumstances leading to the incorrect ASID being cached in the TLB arise when software writes TTBRx_EL1[ASID] and TTBRx_EL1[BADDR], a memory operation is in the process of performing a translation using the specific TTBRx_EL1 being written, and the memory operation uses a translation table descriptor designated as non-global. EL2 and EL3 code changing the EL1&0 ASID is not subject to this erratum because hardware is prohibited from performing translations from an out-of-context translation regime. Consider the following pseudo code. write new BADDR and ASID values to TTBRx_EL1 Replacing the above sequence with the one below will ensure that no TLB entries with an incorrect ASID are used by software. write reserved value to TTBRx_EL1[ASID] ISB write new value to TTBRx_EL1[BADDR] ISB write new value to TTBRx_EL1[ASID] ISB When the above sequence is used, page table entries using the new BADDR value may still be incorrectly allocated into the TLB using the reserved ASID. Yet this will not reduce functionality, since TLB entries incorrectly tagged with the reserved ASID will never be hit by a later instruction.

* arm64: Work around Falkor erratum 1009Christopher Covington2017-02-011-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During a TLB invalidate sequence targeting the inner shareable domain, Falkor may prematurely complete the DSB before all loads and stores using the old translation are observed. Instruction fetches are not subject to the conditions of this erratum. If the original code sequence includes multiple TLB invalidate instructions followed by a single DSB, onle one of the TLB instructions needs to be repeated to work around this erratum. While the erratum only applies to cases in which the TLBI specifies the inner-shareable domain (*IS form of TLBI) and the DSB is ISH form or stronger (OSH, SYS), this changes applies the workaround overabundantly-- to local TLBI, DSB NSH sequences as well--for simplicity.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Erratum A-008585 says that the ARM generic timer counter "has the potential to contain an erroneous value for a small number of core clock cycles every time the timer value changes". Accesses to TVAL (both read and write) are also affected due to the implicit counter read. Accesses to CVAL are not affected. The workaround is to reread TVAL and count registers until successive reads return the same value. Writes to TVAL are replaced with an equivalent write to CVAL. The workaround is to reread TVAL and count registers until successive reads return the same value, and when writing TVAL to retry until counter reads before and after the write return the same value. The workaround is enabled if the fsl,erratum-a008585 property is found in the timer node in the device tree. This can be overridden with the clocksource.arm_arch_timer.fsl-a008585 boot parameter, which allows KVM users to enable the workaround until a mechanism is implemented to automatically communicate this information. This erratum can be found on LS1043A and LS2080A.

* ARM64: ACPI: Update documentation for latest specification versionAl Stone2016-06-212-170/+213
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ACPI 6.1 specification was recently released at the end of January 2016, but the arm64 kernel documentation for the use of ACPI was written for the 5.1 version of the spec. There were significant additions to the spec that had not yet been mentioned -- for example, the 6.0 mechanisms added to make it easier to define processors and low power idle states, as well as the 6.1 addition allowing regular interrupts (not just from GPIO) be used to signal ACPI general purpose events. This patch reflects going back through and examining the specs in detail and updating content appropriately. Whilst there, a few odds and ends of typos were caught as well. This brings the documentation up to date with ACPI 6.1 for arm64.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of going out of our way to relocate the initrd if it turns out to occupy memory that is not covered by the linear mapping, just add the initrd to the linear mapping. This puts the burden on the bootloader to pass initrd= and mem= options that are mutually consistent. Note that, since the placement of the linear region in the PA space is also dependent on the placement of the kernel Image, which may reside anywhere in memory, we may still end up with a situation where the initrd and the kernel Image are simply too far apart to be covered by the linear region. Since we now leave it up to the bootloader to pass the initrd in memory that is guaranteed to be accessible by the kernel, add a mention of this to the arm64 boot protocol specification as well.

* arm64: allow kernel Image to be loaded anywhere in physical memoryArd Biesheuvel2016-02-181-7/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This relaxes the kernel Image placement requirements, so that it may be placed at any 2 MB aligned offset in physical memory. This is accomplished by ignoring PHYS_OFFSET when installing memblocks, and accounting for the apparent virtual offset of the kernel Image. As a result, virtual address references below PAGE_OFFSET are correctly mapped onto physical references into the kernel Image regardless of where it sits in memory. Special care needs to be taken for dealing with memory limits passed via mem=, since the generic implementation clips memory top down, which may clip the kernel image itself if it is loaded high up in memory. To deal with this case, we simply add back the memory covering the kernel image, which may result in more memory to be retained than was passed as a mem= parameter. Since mem= should not be considered a production feature, a panic notifier handler is installed that dumps the memory limit at panic time if one was set.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the FDT blob needs to be in the same 512 MB region as the kernel, so that it can be mapped into the kernel virtual memory space very early on using a minimal set of statically allocated translation tables. Now that we have early fixmap support, we can relax this restriction, by moving the permanent FDT mapping to the fixmap region instead. This way, the FDT blob may be anywhere in memory. This also moves the vetting of the FDT to mmu.c, since the early init code in head.S does not handle mapping of the FDT anymore. At the same time, fix up some comments in head.S that have gone stale.

* arm64: Emulate SETEND for AArch32 tasksSuzuki K. Poulose2015-01-231-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Emulate deprecated 'setend' instruction for AArch32 bit tasks. setend [le/be] - Sets the endianness of EL0 On systems with CPUs which support mixed endian at EL0, the hardware support for the instruction can be enabled by setting the SCTLR_EL1.SED bit. Like the other emulated instructions it is controlled by an entry in /proc/sys/abi/. For more information see : Documentation/arm64/legacy_instructions.txt The instruction is emulated by setting/clearing the SPSR_EL1.E bit, which will be reflected in the PSTATE.E in AArch32 context. This patch also restores the native endianness for the execution of signal handlers, since the process could have changed the endianness. Note: All CPUs on the system must have mixed endian support at EL0. Once the handler is registered, hotplugging a CPU which doesn't support mixed endian, could lead to unexpected results/behavior in applications. Signed-off-by: Suzuki K.

* arm64: Add framework for legacy instruction emulationPunit Agrawal2014-11-201-0/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Typically, providing support for legacy instructions requires emulating the behaviour of instructions whose encodings have become undefined. If the instructions haven't been removed from the architecture, there maybe an option in the implementation to turn on/off the support for these instructions. Create common infrastructure to support legacy instruction emulation. In addition to emulation, also provide an option to support hardware execution when supported. The default execution mode (one of undef, emulate, hw exeuction) is dependent on the state of the instruction (deprecated or obsolete) in the architecture and can specified at the time of registering the instruction handlers. The runtime state of the emulation can be controlled by writing to individual nodes in sysctl. The expected default behaviour is documented as part of this patch.

* | arm64: Update the Image headerMark Rutland2014-07-101-8/+35
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the kernel Image is stripped of everything past the initial stack, and at runtime the memory is initialised and used by the kernel. This makes the effective minimum memory footprint of the kernel larger than the size of the loaded binary, though bootloaders have no mechanism to identify how large this minimum memory footprint is. This makes it difficult to choose safe locations to place both the kernel and other binaries required at boot (DTB, initrd, etc), such that the kernel won't clobber said binaries or other reserved memory during initialisation. Additionally when big endian support was added the image load offset was overlooked, and is currently of an arbitrary endianness, which makes it difficult for bootloaders to make use of it. It seems that bootloaders aren't respecting the image load offset at present anyway, and are assuming that offset 0x80000 will always be correct. This patch adds an effective image size to the kernel header which describes the amount of memory from the start of the kernel Image binary which the kernel expects to use before detecting memory and handling any memory reservations. This can be used by bootloaders to choose suitable locations to load the kernel and/or other binaries such that the kernel will not clobber any memory unexpectedly. As before, memory reservations are required to prevent the kernel from clobbering these locations later. Both the image load offset and the effective image size are forced to be little-endian regardless of the native endianness of the kernel to enable bootloaders to load a kernel of arbitrary endianness. Bootloaders which wish to make use of the load offset can inspect the effective image size field for a non-zero value to determine if the offset is of a known endianness. To enable software to determine the endinanness of the kernel as may be required for certain use-cases, a new flags field (also little-endian) is added to the kernel header to export this information. The documentation is updated to clarify these details. To discourage future assumptions regarding the value of text_offset, the value at this point in time is removed from the main flow of the documentation (though kept as a compatibility note). Some minor formatting issues in the documentation are also corrected.
