| * iommu/arm-smmu: Work around MMU-500 prefetch errataRobin Murphy2016-05-031-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | MMU-500 erratum #841119 is tickled by a particular set of circumstances interacting with the next-page prefetcher. Since said prefetcher is quite dumb and actually detrimental to performance in some cases (by causing unwanted TLB evictions for non-sequential access patterns), we lose very little by turning it off, and what we gain is a guarantee that the erratum is never hit. As a bonus, the same workaround will also prevent erratum #826419 once v7 short descriptor support is implemented.

* | arm64: add the initrd region to the linear mapping explicitlyArd Biesheuvel2016-04-141-0/+4
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* arm64: use fixmap region for permanent FDT mappingArd Biesheuvel2015-06-021-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Docs: arm64: booting: clarify boot requirementsMark Rutland2013-10-241-14/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are a few points in the arm64 booting document which are unclear (such as the initial state of secondary CPUs), and/or have not been documented (PSCI is a supported mechanism for booting secondary CPUs). This patch amends the arm64 boot document to better express the (existing) requirements, and to describe PSCI as a supported booting mechanism.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit d50240a5f6ce ("arm64: mm: permit use of tagged pointers at EL0") added support for tagged pointers in userspace, but the corresponding update to Documentation/ contained some imprecise statements. This patch fixes up some minor ambiguities in the text, hopefully making it more clear about exactly what the kernel expects from user virtual addresses.

* arm64: mm: permit use of tagged pointers at EL0Will Deacon2013-09-031-0/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | TCR.TBI0 can be used to cause hardware address translation to ignore the top byte of userspace virtual addresses. Whilst not especially useful in standard C programs, this can be used by JITs to `tag' pointers with various pieces of metadata. This patch enables this bit for AArch64 Linux, and adds a new file to Documentation/arm64/ which describes some potential caveats when using tagged virtual addresses.

* arm64: Expand arm64 image headerRoy Franz2013-08-221-3/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Expand the arm64 image header to allow for co-existance with PE/COFF header required by the EFI stub. The PE/COFF format requires the "MZ" header to be at offset 0, and the offset to the PE/COFF header to be at offset 0x3c. The image header is expanded to allow 2 instructions at the beginning to accommodate a benign intruction at offset 0 that includes the "MZ" header, a magic number, and the offset to the PE/COFF header.

* arm64: Add simple earlyprintk supportCatalin Marinas2013-01-221-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for "earlyprintk=" parameter on the kernel command line. The format is: earlyprintk=<name>[,<addr>][,<options>] where <name> is the name of the (UART) device, e.g. "pl011", <addr> is the I/O address. The <options> aren't currently used. The mapping of the earlyprintk device is done very early during kernel boot and there are restrictions on which functions it can call. A special early_io_map() function is added which creates the mapping from the pre-defined EARLY_IOBASE to the device I/O address passed via the kernel parameter. The pgd entry corresponding to EARLY_IOBASE is pre-populated in head.S during kernel boot. Only PL011 is currently supported and it is assumed that the interface is already initialised by the boot loader before the kernel is started.

* arm64: MMU definitionsCatalin Marinas2012-09-171-0/+73
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The virtual memory layout is described in Documentation/arm64/memory.txt. This patch adds the MMU definitions for the 4KB and 64KB translation table configurations. The SECTION_SIZE is 2MB with 4KB page and 512MB with 64KB page configuration. PHYS_OFFSET is calculated at run-time and stored in a variable (no run-time code patching at this stage). On the current implementation, both user and kernel address spaces are 512G (39-bit) each with a maximum of 256G for the RAM linear mapping. Linux uses 3 levels of translation tables with the 4K page configuration and 2 levels with the 64K configuration. Extending the memory space beyond 39-bit with the 4K pages or 42-bit with 64K pages requires an additional level of translation tables. The SPARSEMEM configuration is global to all AArch64 platforms and allows for 1GB sections with SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP enabled by default.
