<content type='text'>
The T0SZ field of TCR_EL1 occupies bits 0-5 of the register and encode
the virtual address space translated by TTBR0_EL1. When updating the
field, for example because we are switching to/from the idmap page-table,
__cpu_set_tcr_t0sz() erroneously treats its 't0sz' argument as unshifted,
resulting in harmless but confusing double shifts by 0 in the code.

This reverts commit 50e3ed0f93f4f62ed2aa83de5db6cb84ecdd5707.

The SCTLR_EL1.WXN control forces execute-never when a page has write
permissions. While the idea of hardening such write/exec combinations is
good, with permissions indirection enabled (FEAT_PIE) this control
becomes RES0. FEAT_PIE introduces a slightly different form of WXN which
only has an effect when the base permission is RWX and the write is
toggled by the permission overlay (FEAT_POE, not yet supported by the
arm64 kernel). Revert the patch for now.

<id>urn:sha1:50e3ed0f93f4f62ed2aa83de5db6cb84ecdd5707</id>
<content type='text'>
The AArch64 virtual memory system supports a global WXN control, which
can be enabled to make all writable mappings implicitly no-exec. This is
a useful hardening feature, as it prevents mistakes in managing page
table permissions from being exploited to attack the system.

When enabled at EL1, the restrictions apply to both EL1 and EL0. EL1 is
completely under our control, and has been cleaned up to allow WXN to be
enabled from boot onwards. EL0 is not under our control, but given that
widely deployed security features such as selinux or PaX already limit
the ability of user space to create mappings that are writable and
executable at the same time, the impact of enabling this for EL0 is
expected to be limited. (For this reason, common user space libraries
that have a legitimate need for manipulating executable code already
carry fallbacks such as [0].)

If enabled at compile time, the feature can still be disabled at boot if
needed, by passing arm64.nowxn on the kernel command line.

This reverts commit 1682c45b920643c, which is no longer needed now that
we create the permanent kernel mapping directly during early boot.

This is a RINO (revert in name only) given that some of the code has
moved around, but the changes are straight-forward.

<title>arm64: kernel: Create initial ID map from C code</title>

<id>urn:sha1:84b04d3e6bdbc7551e62b75dd97cae4a8bddb1b6</id>
<content type='text'>
The asm code that creates the initial ID map is rather intricate and
hard to follow. This is problematic because it makes adding support for
things like LPA2 or WXN more difficult than necessary. Also, it is
parameterized like the rest of the MM code to run with a configurable
number of levels, which is rather pointless, given that all AArch64 CPUs
implement support for 48-bit virtual addressing, and that many systems
exist with DRAM located outside of the 39-bit addressable range, which
is the only smaller VA size that is widely used, and we need additional
tricks to make things work in that combination.

So let's bite the bullet, and rip out all the asm macros, and fiddly
code, and replace it with a C implementation based on the newly added
routines for creating the early kernel VA mappings. And while at it,
create the initial ID map based on 48-bit virtual addressing as well,
regardless of the number of configured levels for the kernel proper.

Note that this code may execute with the MMU and caches disabled, and is
therefore not permitted to make unaligned accesses. This shouldn't
generally happen in any case for the algorithm as implemented, but to be
sure, let's pass -mstrict-align to the compiler just in case.

<title>arm64: mmu: Make __cpu_replace_ttbr1() out of line</title>

__cpu_replace_ttbr1() is a static inline, and so it gets instantiated
wherever it is used. This is not really necessary, as it is never called
on a hot path. It also has the unfortunate side effect that the symbol
idmap_cpu_replace_ttbr1 may never be referenced from kCFI enabled C
code, and this means the type id symbol may not exist either.  This will
result in a build error once we start referring to this symbol from asm
code as well. (Note that this problem only occurs when CnP, KAsan and
suspend/resume are all disabled in the Kconfig but that is a valid
config, if unusual).

So let's just move it out of line so all callers will share the same
implementation, which will reference idmap_cpu_replace_ttbr1
unconditionally.

<title>arm64: Avoid cpus_have_const_cap() for ARM64_HAS_CNP</title>
<updated>2023-10-16T13:17:04+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Mark Rutland</name>
<email>mark.rutland@arm.com</email>
</author>
<published>2023-10-16T10:24:41+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mirrors.hust.edu.cn/git/lwn.git/commit/?id=54c8818aa283040956a3e85368bb9d9abad1bf7a'/>
<id>urn:sha1:54c8818aa283040956a3e85368bb9d9abad1bf7a</id>
<content type='text'>
In system_supports_cnp() we use cpus_have_const_cap() to check for
ARM64_HAS_CNP, but this is only necessary so that the cpu_enable_cnp()
callback can run prior to alternatives being patched, and otherwise this
is not necessary and alternative_has_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.

The cpu_enable_cnp() callback is run immediately after the ARM64_HAS_CNP
cpucap is detected system-wide under setup_system_capabilities(), prior
to alternatives being patched. During this window cpu_enable_cnp() uses
cpu_replace_ttbr1() to set the CNP bit for the swapper_pg_dir in TTBR1.
No other users of the ARM64_HAS_CNP cpucap need the up-to-date value
during this window:

* As KVM isn't initialized yet, kvm_get_vttbr() isn't reachable.

* As cpuidle isn't initialized yet, __cpu_suspend_exit() isn't
  reachable.

* At this point all CPUs are using the swapper_pg_dir with a reserved
  ASID in TTBR1, and the idmap_pg_dir in TTBR0, so neither
  check_and_switch_context() nor cpu_do_switch_mm() need to do anything
  special.

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. To allow cpu_enable_cnp() to function prior to alternatives
being patched, cpu_replace_ttbr1() is split into cpu_replace_ttbr1() and
cpu_enable_swapper_cnp(), with the former only used for early TTBR1
replacement, and the latter used by both cpu_enable_cnp() and
__cpu_suspend_exit().

<content type='text'>
At the time of authoring 7655abb95386 ("arm64: mm: Move ASID from TTBR0
to TTBR1"), the Arm ARM did not specify any ordering guarantees for
direct writes to TTBR0_ELx and TTBR1_ELx and so an ISB was required
after each write to ensure TLBs would only be populated from the
expected (or reserved tables).

In a recent update to the Arm ARM, the requirements have been relaxed to
reflect the implementation of current CPUs and required implementation
of future CPUs to read (RDYDPX in D8.2.3 Translation table base address
register):

  Direct writes to TTBR0_ELx and TTBR1_ELx occur in program order
  relative to one another, without the need for explicit
  synchronization. For any one translation, all indirect reads of
  TTBR0_ELx and TTBR1_ELx that are made as part of the translation
  observe only one point in that order of direct writes.

Remove the superfluous ISBs to optimize uaccess helpers and context
switch.

The 'cpu_hwcaps' and 'boot_capabilities' bitmaps are bitmaps have the
same enumerated bits, but are named wildly differently for no good
reason. The terms 'hwcaps' and 'capabilities' have become ambiguous over
time (e.g. due to clashes with ELF hwcaps and the structures used to
manage feature detection), and it would be nicer to use 'cpucaps',
matching the &lt;asm/cpucaps.h&gt; header the enumerated bit indices are
defined in.

While this isn't a functional problem, it makes the code harder than
necessary to understand, and hard to extend with related functionality
(e.g. per-cpu cpucap bitmaps).

To that end, this patch renames `boot_capabilities` to `boot_cpucaps`
and `cpu_hwcaps` to `system_cpucaps`. This more clearly indicates the
relationship between the two and aligns with terminology used elsewhere
in our feature management code.

This change was scripted with:

| find . -type f -name '*.[chS]' -print0 | \
|   xargs -0 sed -i 's/\&lt;boot_capabilities\&gt;/boot_cpucaps/'
| find . -type f -name '*.[chS]' -print0 | \
|   xargs -0 sed -i 's/\&lt;cpu_hwcaps\&gt;/system_cpucaps/'

... and the instance of "cpu_hwcap" (without a trailing "s") in
&lt;asm/mmu_context.h&gt; corrected manually to "system_cpucaps".

Subsequent patches will adjust the naming of related functions to better
align with the `cpucap` naming.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch; this is
purely a renaming exercise.
