Pull arm64 festive updates from Will Deacon: "In the end, we ended up with quite a lot more than I expected: - Support for ARMv8.3 Pointer Authentication in userspace (CRIU and kernel-side support to come later) - Support for per-thread stack canaries, pending an update to GCC that is currently undergoing review - Support for kexec_file_load(), which permits secure boot of a kexec payload but also happens to improve the performance of kexec dramatically because we can avoid the sucky purgatory code from userspace. Kdump will come later (requires updates to libfdt). - Optimisation of our dynamic CPU feature framework, so that all detected features are enabled via a single stop_machine() invocation - KPTI whitelisting of Cortex-A CPUs unaffected by Meltdown, so that they can benefit from global TLB entries when KASLR is not in use - 52-bit virtual addressing for userspace (kernel remains 48-bit) - Patch in LSE atomics for per-cpu atomic operations - Custom preempt.h implementation to avoid unconditional calls to preempt_schedule() from preempt_enable() - Support for the new 'SB' Speculation Barrier instruction - Vectorised implementation of XOR checksumming and CRC32 optimisations - Workaround for Cortex-A76 erratum #1165522 - Improved compatibility with Clang/LLD - Support for TX2 system PMUS for profiling the L3 cache and DMC - Reflect read-only permissions in the linear map by default - Ensure MMIO reads are ordered with subsequent calls to Xdelay() - Initial support for memory hotplug - Tweak the threshold when we invalidate the TLB by-ASID, so that mremap() performance is improved for ranges spanning multiple PMDs. - Minor refactoring and cleanups" * tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: (125 commits) arm64: kaslr: print PHYS_OFFSET in dump_kernel_offset() arm64: sysreg: Use _BITUL() when defining register bits arm64: cpufeature: Rework ptr auth hwcaps using multi_entry_cap_matches arm64: cpufeature: Reduce number of pointer auth CPU caps from 6 to 4 arm64: docs: document pointer authentication arm64: ptr auth: Move per-thread keys from thread_info to thread_struct arm64: enable pointer authentication arm64: add prctl control for resetting ptrauth keys arm64: perf: strip PAC when unwinding userspace arm64: expose user PAC bit positions via ptrace arm64: add basic pointer authentication support arm64/cpufeature: detect pointer authentication arm64: Don't trap host pointer auth use to EL2 arm64/kvm: hide ptrauth from guests arm64/kvm: consistently handle host HCR_EL2 flags arm64: add pointer authentication register bits arm64: add comments about EC exception levels arm64: perf: Treat EXCLUDE_EL* bit definitions as unsigned arm64: kpti: Whitelist Cortex-A CPUs that don't implement the CSV3 field arm64: enable per-task stack canaries ...

+Pointer authentication in AArch64 Linux
+=======================================
+
+Author: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com>
+Date: 2017-07-19
+
+This document briefly describes the provision of pointer authentication
+functionality in AArch64 Linux.
+
+
+Architecture overview
+---------------------
+
+The ARMv8.3 Pointer Authentication extension adds primitives that can be
+used to mitigate certain classes of attack where an attacker can corrupt
+the contents of some memory (e.g. the stack).
+
+The extension uses a Pointer Authentication Code (PAC) to determine
+whether pointers have been modified unexpectedly. A PAC is derived from
+a pointer, another value (such as the stack pointer), and a secret key
+held in system registers.
+
+The extension adds instructions to insert a valid PAC into a pointer,
+and to verify/remove the PAC from a pointer. The PAC occupies a number
+of high-order bits of the pointer, which varies dependent on the
+configured virtual address size and whether pointer tagging is in use.
+
+A subset of these instructions have been allocated from the HINT
+encoding space. In the absence of the extension (or when disabled),
+these instructions behave as NOPs. Applications and libraries using
+these instructions operate correctly regardless of the presence of the
+extension.
+
+The extension provides five separate keys to generate PACs - two for
+instruction addresses (APIAKey, APIBKey), two for data addresses
+(APDAKey, APDBKey), and one for generic authentication (APGAKey).
+
+
+Basic support
+-------------
+
+When CONFIG_ARM64_PTR_AUTH is selected, and relevant HW support is
+present, the kernel will assign random key values to each process at
+exec*() time. The keys are shared by all threads within the process, and
+are preserved across fork().
+
+Presence of address authentication functionality is advertised via
+HWCAP_PACA, and generic authentication functionality via HWCAP_PACG.
+
+The number of bits that the PAC occupies in a pointer is 55 minus the
+virtual address size configured by the kernel. For example, with a
+virtual address size of 48, the PAC is 7 bits wide.
+
+Recent versions of GCC can compile code with APIAKey-based return
+address protection when passed the -msign-return-address option. This
+uses instructions in the HINT space (unless -march=armv8.3-a or higher
+is also passed), and such code can run on systems without the pointer
+authentication extension.
+
+In addition to exec(), keys can also be reinitialized to random values
+using the PR_PAC_RESET_KEYS prctl. A bitmask of PR_PAC_APIAKEY,
+PR_PAC_APIBKEY, PR_PAC_APDAKEY, PR_PAC_APDBKEY and PR_PAC_APGAKEY
+specifies which keys are to be reinitialized; specifying 0 means "all
+keys".
+
+
+Debugging
+---------
+
+When CONFIG_ARM64_PTR_AUTH is selected, and HW support for address
+authentication is present, the kernel will expose the position of TTBR0
+PAC bits in the NT_ARM_PAC_MASK regset (struct user_pac_mask), which
+userspace can acquire via PTRACE_GETREGSET.
+
+The regset is exposed only when HWCAP_PACA is set. Separate masks are
+exposed for data pointers and instruction pointers, as the set of PAC
+bits can vary between the two. Note that the masks apply to TTBR0
+addresses, and are not valid to apply to TTBR1 addresses (e.g. kernel
+pointers).
+
+
+Virtualization
+--------------
+
+Pointer authentication is not currently supported in KVM guests. KVM
+will mask the feature bits from ID_AA64ISAR1_EL1, and attempted use of
+the feature will result in an UNDEFINED exception being injected into
+the guest.
