arch: arm64: have memblocks out of kernel text use section map
By comparing the swapper_pg_dir with k54 and previous versions,we find that the linear mappings within which the addr is out of kernel text section will use the smallest pte. It should arise for the sake of rodata_full, which set all memblock use NO_CONT_MAPPINGS. Signed-off-by: Zhaoyang Huang <zhaoyang.huang@unisoc.com>

arm64: Track no early_pgtable_alloc() for kmemleak
After switched page size from 64KB to 4KB on several arm64 servers here, kmemleak starts to run out of early memory pool due to a huge number of those early_pgtable_alloc() calls: kmemleak_alloc_phys() memblock_alloc_range_nid() memblock_phys_alloc_range() early_pgtable_alloc() init_pmd() alloc_init_pud() __create_pgd_mapping() __map_memblock() paging_init() setup_arch() start_kernel() Increased the default value of DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_MEM_POOL_SIZE by 4 times won't be enough for a server with 200GB+ memory. There isn't much interesting to check memory leaks for those early page tables and those early memory mappings should not reference to other memory. Hence, no kmemleak false positives, and we can safely skip tracking those early allocations from kmemleak like we did in the commit fed84c7 ("mm/memblock.c: skip kmemleak for kasan_init()") without needing to introduce complications to automatically scale the value depends on the runtime memory size etc. After the patch, the default value of DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_MEM_POOL_SIZE becomes sufficient again.

arm64: mte: change PR_MTE_TCF_NONE back into an unsigned long
This constant was previously an unsigned long, but was changed into an int in commit 433c38f ("arm64: mte: change ASYNC and SYNC TCF settings into bitfields"). This ended up causing spurious unsigned-signed comparison warnings in expressions such as: (x & PR_MTE_TCF_MASK) != PR_MTE_TCF_NONE Therefore, change it back into an unsigned long to silence these warnings.

arm64: arm64_ftr_reg->name may not be a human-readable string
The id argument of ARM64_FTR_REG_OVERRIDE() is used for two purposes: one as the system register encoding (used for the sys_id field of __ftr_reg_entry), and the other as the register name (stringified and used for the name field of arm64_ftr_reg), which is debug information. The id argument is supposed to be a macro that indicates an encoding of the register (eg. SYS_ID_AA64PFR0_EL1, etc). ARM64_FTR_REG(), which also has the same id argument, uses ARM64_FTR_REG_OVERRIDE() and passes the id to the macro. Since the id argument is completely macro-expanded before it is substituted into a macro body of ARM64_FTR_REG_OVERRIDE(), the stringified id in the body of ARM64_FTR_REG_OVERRIDE is not a human-readable register name, but a string of numeric bitwise operations. Fix this so that human-readable register names are available as debug information.

arm64: Select POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK
With 6caa581 ("KVM: arm64: Use generic KVM xfer to guest work function") all arm64 exit paths are properly equipped to handle the POSIX timers' task work. Deferring timer callbacks to thread context, not only limits the amount of time spent in hard interrupt context, but is a safer implementation[1], and will allow PREEMPT_RT setups to use KVM[2]. So let's enable POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK on arm64.

arm64: errata: Add detection for TRBE write to out-of-range
Arm Neoverse-N2 and Cortex-A710 cores are affected by an erratum where the trbe, under some circumstances, might write upto 64bytes to an address after the Limit as programmed by the TRBLIMITR_EL1.LIMIT. This might - - Corrupt a page in the ring buffer, which may corrupt trace from a previous session, consumed by userspace. - Hit the guard page at the end of the vmalloc area and raise a fault. To keep the handling simpler, we always leave the last page from the range, which TRBE is allowed to write. This can be achieved by ensuring that we always have more than a PAGE worth space in the range, while calculating the LIMIT for TRBE. And then the LIMIT pointer can be adjusted to leave the PAGE (TRBLIMITR.LIMIT -= PAGE_SIZE), out of the TRBE range while enabling it. This makes sure that the TRBE will only write to an area within its allowed limit (i.e, [head-head+size]) and we do not have to handle address faults within the driver.

arm64: errata: Add workaround for TSB flush failures
Arm Neoverse-N2 (#2067961) and Cortex-A710 (#2054223) suffers from errata, where a TSB (trace synchronization barrier) fails to flush the trace data completely, when executed from a trace prohibited region. In Linux we always execute it after we have moved the PE to trace prohibited region. So, we can apply the workaround every time a TSB is executed. The work around is to issue two TSB consecutively. NOTE: This errata is defined as LOCAL_CPU_ERRATUM, implying that a late CPU could be blocked from booting if it is the first CPU that requires the workaround. This is because we do not allow setting a cpu_hwcaps after the SMP boot. The other alternative is to use "this_cpu_has_cap()" instead of the faster system wide check, which may be a bit of an overhead, given we may have to do this in nvhe KVM host before a guest entry.

arm64: errata: Add detection for TRBE overwrite in FILL mode
Arm Neoverse-N2 and the Cortex-A710 cores are affected by a CPU erratum where the TRBE will overwrite the trace buffer in FILL mode. The TRBE doesn't stop (as expected in FILL mode) when it reaches the limit and wraps to the base to continue writing upto 3 cache lines. This will overwrite any trace that was written previously. Add the Neoverse-N2 erratum(#2139208) and Cortex-A710 erratum (#2119858) to the detection logic. This will be used by the TRBE driver in later patches to work around the issue. The detection has been kept with the core arm64 errata framework list to make sure : - We don't duplicate the framework in TRBE driver - The errata detection is advertised like the rest of the CPU errata. Note that the Kconfig entries are not fully active until the TRBE driver implements the work around.

arm64: extable: add load_unaligned_zeropad() handler
For inline assembly, we place exception fixups out-of-line in the `.fixup` section such that these are out of the way of the fast path. This has a few drawbacks: * Since the fixup code is anonymous, backtraces will symbolize fixups as offsets from the nearest prior symbol, currently `__entry_tramp_text_end`. This is confusing, and painful to debug without access to the relevant vmlinux. * Since the exception handler adjusts the PC to execute the fixup, and the fixup uses a direct branch back into the function it fixes, backtraces of fixups miss the original function. This is confusing, and violates requirements for RELIABLE_STACKTRACE (and therefore LIVEPATCH). * Inline assembly and associated fixups are generated from templates, and we have many copies of logically identical fixups which only differ in which specific registers are written to and which address is branched to at the end of the fixup. This is potentially wasteful of I-cache resources, and makes it hard to add additional logic to fixups without significant bloat. * In the case of load_unaligned_zeropad(), the logic in the fixup requires a temporary register that we must allocate even in the fast-path where it will not be used. This patch address all four concerns for load_unaligned_zeropad() fixups by adding a dedicated exception handler which performs the fixup logic in exception context and subsequent returns back after the faulting instruction. For the moment, the fixup logic is identical to the old assembly fixup logic, but in future we could enhance this by taking the ESR and FAR into account to constrain the faults we try to fix up, or to specialize fixups for MTE tag check faults. Other than backtracing, there should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

arm64: extable: add
typeanddatafieldsSubsequent patches will add specialized handlers for fixups, in addition to the simple PC fixup and BPF handlers we have today. In preparation, this patch adds a new `type` field to struct exception_table_entry, and uses this to distinguish the fixup and BPF cases. A `data` field is also added so that subsequent patches can associate data specific to each exception site (e.g. register numbers). Handlers are named ex_handler_*() for consistency, following the exmaple of x86. At the same time, get_ex_fixup() is split out into a helper so that it can be used by other ex_handler_*() functions ins subsequent patches. This patch will increase the size of the exception tables, which will be remedied by subsequent patches removing redundant fixup code. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch. Since each entry is now 12 bytes in size, we must reduce the alignment of each entry from `.align 3` (i.e. 8 bytes) to `.align 2` (i.e. 4 bytes), which is the natrual alignment of the `insn` and `fixup` fields. The current 8-byte alignment is a holdover from when the `insn` and `fixup` fields was 8 bytes, and while not harmful has not been necessary since commit: 6c94f27 ("arm64: switch to relative exception tables") Similarly, RO_EXCEPTION_TABLE_ALIGN is dropped to 4 bytes. Concurrently with this patch, x86's exception table entry format is being updated (similarly to a 12-byte format, with 32-bytes of absolute data). Once both have been merged it should be possible to unify the sorttable logic for the two.

arm64: extable: use
exforexception_table_entrySubsequent patches will extend `struct exception_table_entry` with more fields, and the distinction between the entry and its `fixup` field will become more important. For clarity, let's consistently use `ex` to refer to refer to an entire entry. In subsequent patches we'll use `fixup` to refer to the fixup field specifically. This matches the naming convention used today in arch/arm64/net/bpf_jit_comp.c. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

arm64: extable: make fixup_exception() return bool
The return values of fixup_exception() and arm64_bpf_fixup_exception() represent a boolean condition rather than an error code, so for clarity it would be better to return `bool` rather than `int`. This patch adjusts the code accordingly. While we're modifying the prototype, we also remove the unnecessary `extern` keyword, so that this won't look out of place when we make subsequent additions to the header. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
