| * xtensa: add support for KASANMax Filippov2017-12-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Cover kernel addresses above 0x90000000 by the shadow map. Enable HAVE_ARCH_KASAN when MMU is enabled. Provide kasan_early_init that fills shadow map with writable copies of kasan_zero_page. Call kasan_early_init right after mmu initialization in the setup_arch. Provide kasan_init that allocates proper shadow map pages from the memblock and puts these pages into the shadow map for addresses from VMALLOC area to the end of KSEG. Call kasan_init right after memblock initialization. Don't use KASAN for the boot code, MMU and KASAN initialization and page fault handler. Make kernel stack size 4 times larger when KASAN is enabled to avoid stack overflows. GCC 7.3, 8 or newer is required to build the xtensa kernel with KASAN.

By default we use a 128TB virtual address space, but a process can request access to the full 512TB by passing a hint to mmap(). - Support for the new Power9 "XIVE" interrupt controller. - TLB flushing optimisations for the radix MMU on Power9. - Support for CAPI cards on Power9, using the "Coherent Accelerator Interface Architecture 2.0". - The ability to configure the mmap randomisation limits at build and runtime. - Several small fixes and cleanups to the kprobes code, as well as support for KPROBES_ON_FTRACE. - Major improvements to handling of system reset interrupts, correctly treating them as NMIs, giving them a dedicated stack and using a new hypervisor call to trigger them, all of which should aid debugging and robustness. - Many fixes and other minor enhancements.

There are some relatively intrusive changes to support KASLR, the reworking of the kernel virtual memory layout and initial page table creation. Summary: - Initial page table creation reworked to avoid breaking large block mappings (huge pages) into smaller ones. The ARM architecture requires break-before-make in such cases to avoid TLB conflicts but that's not always possible on live page tables - Kernel virtual memory layout: the kernel image is no longer linked to the bottom of the linear mapping (PAGE_OFFSET) but at the bottom of the vmalloc space, allowing the kernel to be loaded (nearly) anywhere in physical RAM - Kernel ASLR: position independent kernel Image and modules being randomly mapped in the vmalloc space with the randomness is provided by UEFI (efi_get_random_bytes() patches merged via the arm64 tree, acked by Matt Fleming) - Implement relative exception tables for arm64, required by KASLR (initial code for ARCH_HAS_RELATIVE_EXTABLE added to lib/extable.c but actual x86 conversion to deferred to 4.7 because of the merge dependencies) - Support for the User Access Override feature of ARMv8.2: this allows uaccess functions (get_user etc.) to be implemented using LDTR/STTR instructions. Such instructions, when run by the kernel, perform unprivileged accesses adding an extra level of protection. The set_fs() macro is used to "upgrade" such instruction to privileged accesses via the UAO bit - Half-precision floating point support (part of ARMv8.2) - Optimisations for CPUs with or without a hardware prefetcher (using run-time code patching) - copy_page performance improvement to deal with 128 bytes at a time - Sanity checks on the CPU capabilities (via CPUID) to prevent incompatible secondary CPUs from being brought up (e.g. weird big.LITTLE configurations) - valid_user_regs() reworked for better sanity check of the sigcontext information (restored pstate information) - ACPI parking protocol implementation - CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA enabled by default - VDSO code marked as read-only - DEBUG_PAGEALLOC support - ARCH_HAS_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL enabled - Erratum workaround Cavium ThunderX SoC - set_pte_at() fix for PROT_NONE mappings - Code clean-ups" * tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: (99 commits) arm64: kasan: Fix zero shadow mapping overriding kernel image shadow arm64: kasan: Use actual memory node when populating the kernel image shadow arm64: Update PTE_RDONLY in set_pte_at() for PROT_NONE permission arm64: Fix misspellings in comments. arm64: efi: add missing frame pointer assignment arm64: make mrs_s prefixing implicit in read_cpuid arm64: enable CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA by default arm64: Rework valid_user_regs arm64: mm: check at build time that PAGE_OFFSET divides the VA space evenly arm64: KVM: Move kvm_call_hyp back to its original localtion arm64: mm: treat memstart_addr as a signed quantity arm64: mm: list kernel sections in order arm64: lse: deal with clobbered IP registers after branch via PLT arm64: mm: dump: Use VA_START directly instead of private LOWEST_ADDR arm64: kconfig: add submenu for 8.2 architectural features arm64: kernel: acpi: fix ioremap in ACPI parking protocol cpu_postboot arm64: Add support for Half precision floating point arm64: Remove fixmap include fragility arm64: Add workaround for Cavium erratum 27456 arm64: mm: Mark .rodata as RO ...
| * arm64: add support for ioremap() block mappingsArd Biesheuvel2016-02-181-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This wires up the existing generic huge-vmap feature, which allows ioremap() to use PMD or PUD sized block mappings. It also adds support to the unmap path for dealing with block mappings, which will allow us to unmap the __init region using unmap_kernel_range() in a subsequent patch.

* | Remove "arch" usage in Documentation/features/list-arch.shdcg2016-01-261-1/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 669f6f96c680a741257ada44a28b580df2e1fc25 introduced the script list-arch.sh, which uses the command "arch": ARCH=${1:-$(arch | sed 's/x86_64/x86/' | sed 's/i386/x86/')} It turns out that the "arch" command does not exist in my system (arch distro). Google found man pages which say "arch is deprecated command since release util-linux 2.13. Use uname -m" (util-linux 2.13 was released in 2007). I also found a debian bug reporting the lack of arch and being told to use uname -m https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=446023 But then, why it works in some distros? Apparently coreutils gained an optional arch command that needs to be explicitly enabled during compilation. Some distros enable it, others don't. Sigh.

Meta2 has variable sized pages, between 4KB and 4MB, specified at the 1st level page table level, and already supports hugetlbfs, so supporting THP is theoretically possible too.

The structure of the feature descriptions is the following: Each feature has its own directory under Documentation/features/subsystem_name/feature_name/, and the arch-support.txt file shows its current arch porting status. For example, lockdep support is shown the following way: triton:~/tip> cat Documentation/features/locking/lockdep/arch-support.txt # # Feature name: lockdep # Kconfig: LOCKDEP_SUPPORT # description: arch supports the runtime locking correctness debug facility # ----------------------- | arch |status| ----------------------- | alpha: | TODO | | arc: | ok | | arm: | ok | | arm64: | ok | | avr32: | ok | | blackfin: | ok | | c6x: | TODO | | cris: | TODO | | frv: | TODO | | h8300: | TODO | | hexagon: | ok | | ia64: | TODO | | m32r: | TODO | | m68k: | TODO | | metag: | ok | | microblaze: | ok | | mips: | ok | | mn10300: | TODO | | nios2: | TODO | | openrisc: | TODO | | parisc: | TODO | | powerpc: | ok | | s390: | ok | | score: | ok | | sh: | ok | | sparc: | ok | | tile: | ok | | um: | ok | | unicore32: | ok | | x86: | ok | | xtensa: | ok | ----------------------- For generic kernel features that need architecture support, the arch-support.txt file in each feature directory shows the arch support matrix, for all upstream Linux architectures. The meaning of entries in the tables is: | ok | # feature supported by the architecture |TODO| # feature not yet supported by the architecture | .. | # feature cannot be supported by the hardware This directory structure can be used in the future to add other files - such as porting guides, testing description, etc. The Documentation/features/ hierarchy may also include generic kernel features that works on every architecture, in that case the arch-support.txt file will list every architecture as supported. To list an architecture's unsupported features, just do something like: triton:~/tip> git grep -lE 'x86.*TODO' Documentation/features/*/*/arch-support.txt Documentation/features/lib/strncasecmp/arch-support.txt Documentation/features/time/arch-tick-broadcast/arch-support.txt which will print the list of not yet supported features. The Documentation/features/list-arch.sh script will print the current support matrix of one architecture: triton:~/tip> Documentation/features/list-arch.sh # # Kernel feature support matrix of the 'x86' architecture: # core/ BPF-JIT : ok | HAVE_BPF_JIT # arch supports BPF JIT optimizations core/ generic-idle-thread : ok | GENERIC_SMP_IDLE_THREAD # arch makes use of the generic SMP idle thread facility core/ jump-labels : ok | HAVE_ARCH_JUMP_LABEL # arch supports live patched, high efficiency branches core/ tracehook : ok | HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK # arch supports tracehook (ptrace) register handling APIs debug/ gcov-profile-all : ok | ARCH_HAS_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL # arch supports whole-kernel GCOV code coverage profiling debug/ KASAN : ok | HAVE_ARCH_KASAN # arch supports the KASAN runtime memory checker debug/ kgdb : ok | HAVE_ARCH_KGDB # arch supports the kGDB kernel debugger debug/ kprobes : ok | HAVE_KPROBES # arch supports live patched kernel probe debug/ kprobes-on-ftrace : ok | HAVE_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE # arch supports combined kprobes and ftrace live patching debug/ kretprobes : ok | HAVE_KRETPROBES # arch supports kernel function-return probes debug/ optprobes : ok | HAVE_OPTPROBES # arch supports live patched optprobes debug/ stackprotector : ok | HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR # arch supports compiler driven stack overflow protection debug/ uprobes : ok | ARCH_SUPPORTS_UPROBES # arch supports live patched user probes debug/ user-ret-profiler : ok | HAVE_USER_RETURN_NOTIFIER # arch supports user-space return from system call profiler io/ dma-api-debug : ok | HAVE_DMA_API_DEBUG # arch supports DMA debug facilities io/ dma-contiguous : ok | HAVE_DMA_CONTIGUOUS # arch supports the DMA CMA (continuous memory allocator) io/ dma_map_attrs : ok | HAVE_DMA_ATTRS # arch provides dma_*map*_attrs() APIs io/ sg-chain : ok | ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN # arch supports chained scatter-gather lists lib/ strncasecmp : TODO | __HAVE_ARCH_STRNCASECMP # arch provides an optimized strncasecmp() function locking/ cmpxchg-local : ok | HAVE_CMPXCHG_LOCAL # arch supports the this_cpu_cmpxchg() API locking/ lockdep : ok | LOCKDEP_SUPPORT # arch supports the runtime locking correctness debug facility locking/ queued-rwlocks : ok | ARCH_USE_QUEUED_RWLOCKS # arch supports queued rwlocks locking/ queued-spinlocks : ok | ARCH_USE_QUEUED_SPINLOCKS # arch supports queued spinlocks locking/ rwsem-optimized : ok | Optimized asm/rwsem.h # arch provides optimized rwsem APIs perf/ kprobes-event : ok | HAVE_REGS_AND_STACK_ACCESS_API # arch supports kprobes with perf events perf/ perf-regs : ok | HAVE_PERF_REGS # arch supports perf events register access perf/ perf-stackdump : ok | HAVE_PERF_USER_STACK_DUMP # arch supports perf events stack dumps sched/ numa-balancing : ok | ARCH_SUPPORTS_NUMA_BALANCING # arch supports NUMA balancing seccomp/ seccomp-filter : ok | HAVE_ARCH_SECCOMP_FILTER # arch supports seccomp filters time/ arch-tick-broadcast : TODO | ARCH_HAS_TICK_BROADCAST # arch provides tick_broadcast() time/ clockevents : ok | GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS # arch support generic clock events time/ context-tracking : ok | HAVE_CONTEXT_TRACKING # arch supports context tracking for NO_HZ_FULL time/ irq-time-acct : ok | HAVE_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING # arch supports precise IRQ time accounting time/ modern-timekeeping : ok | !ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET # arch does not use arch_gettimeoffset() anymore time/ virt-cpuacct : ok | HAVE_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING # arch supports precise virtual CPU time accounting vm/ ELF-ASLR : ok | ARCH_HAS_ELF_RANDOMIZE # arch randomizes the stack, heap and binary images of ELF binaries vm/ huge-vmap : ok | HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP # arch supports the ioremap_pud_enabled() and ioremap_pmd_enabled() VM APIs vm/ ioremap_prot : ok | HAVE_IOREMAP_PROT # arch has ioremap_prot() vm/ numa-memblock : ok | HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP # arch supports NUMA aware memblocks vm/ PG_uncached : ok | ARCH_USES_PG_UNCACHED # arch supports the PG_uncached page flag vm/ pmdp_splitting_flush : ok | __HAVE_ARCH_PMDP_SPLITTING_FLUSH # arch supports the pmdp_splitting_flush() VM API vm/ pte_special : ok | __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL # arch supports the pte_special()/pte_mkspecial() VM APIs vm/ THP : ok | HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE # arch supports transparent hugepages Cc: <linux-api@vger.kernel.org> Cc: <linux-arch@vger.kernel.org> Cc: <linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: H.
