The assembler does not permit 'LDR PC, <sym>' when the symbol lives in a
different section, which is why we have been relying on rather fragile
open-coded arithmetic to load the address of the vector_swi routine into
the program counter using a single LDR instruction in the SWI slot in
the vector table. The literal was moved to a different section to in
commit 19accfd373847 ("ARM: move vector stubs") to ensure that the
vector stubs page does not need to be mapped readable for user space,
which is the case for the vector page itself, as it carries the kuser
helpers as well.
So the cross-section literal load is open-coded, and this relies on the
address of vector_swi to be at the very start of the vector stubs page,
and we won't notice if we got it wrong until booting the kernel and see
it break. Fortunately, it was guaranteed to break, so this was fragile
but not problematic.
Now that we have added two other variants of the vector table, we have 3
occurrences of the same trick, and so the size of our ISA/compiler/CPU
validation space has tripled, in a way that may cause regressions to only
be observed once booting the image in question on a CPU that exercises a
particular vector table.
So let's switch to true cross section references, and let the linker fix
them up like it fixes up all the other cross section references in the
vector page.

The loop8 mitigation for Spectre-BHB only requires a CPU local DSB
rather than a systemwide one, which is much more costly. And by the same
reasoning as why it is justified to omit the ISB after BPIALL, we can
also elide the ISB and rely on the exception return for the context
synchronization.

The BPIALL mitigation for Spectre-BHB adds a single instruction to the
handler sequence that doesn't clobber any registers. Given that these
sequences are 10 instructions long, they don't fit neatly into a
cacheline anyway, so we can simply move that single instruction to the
start of the unmitigated one, and rearrange the symbol names accordingly.

ARMv7 has MOVW/MOVT instruction pairs to load symbol addresses into
registers without having to rely on literal loads that go via the
D-cache. For older cores, we now support a similar arrangement, based
on PC-relative group relocations.
This means we can elide most literal loads entirely from the entry path,
by switching to the ldr_va macro to emit the appropriate sequence
depending on the target architecture revision.
While at it, switch to the bl_r macro for invoking the right PABT/DABT
helpers instead of setting the LR register explicitly, which does not
play well with cores that speculate across function returns.

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
"Updates for IRQ stacks and virtually mapped stack support, and ftrace:
- Support for IRQ and vmap'ed stacks
This covers all the work related to implementing IRQ stacks and
vmap'ed stacks for all 32-bit ARM systems that are currently
supported by the Linux kernel, including RiscPC and Footbridge. It
has been submitted for review in four different waves:
- IRQ stacks support for v7 SMP systems [0]
- vmap'ed stacks support for v7 SMP systems[1]
- extending support for both IRQ stacks and vmap'ed stacks for all
remaining configurations, including v6/v7 SMP multiplatform
kernels and uniprocessor configurations including v7-M [2]
- fixes and updates in [3]
- ftrace fixes and cleanups
Make all flavors of ftrace available on all builds, regardless of
ISA choice, unwinder choice or compiler [4]:
- use ADD not POP where possible
- fix a couple of Thumb2 related issues
- enable HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_FP_TEST for robustness
- enable the graph tracer with the EABI unwinder
- avoid clobbering frame pointer registers to make Clang happy
- Fixes for the above"

When building for Thumb2, the vectors make use of a local label. Sadly,
the Spectre BHB code also uses a local label with the same number which
results in the Thumb2 reference pointing at the wrong place. Fix this
by changing the number used for the Spectre BHB local label.

The IRQ stacks series made some changes to the unwinder, to permit
unwinding across different stacks. This is needed because otherwise, the
call stack would terminate at the point where the stack switch between
the task stack and the IRQ stack occurs, which would defeat any
diagnostics that rely on timer interrupts, such as RCU stall detection.
Unfortunately, getting the unwind annotations correct turns out to be
difficult, given that this now involves a frame pointer which needs to
point into the right location in the task stack when unwinding from the
IRQ stack. Getting this wrong for an exception handling routine results
in the stack pointer to be unwound from the wrong location, causing any
subsequent unwind attempts to cause all kinds of issues, as reported by
Naresh here [0].
So let's simplify this, by deferring the stack switch to
call_with_stack(), which already has the correct unwind annotations, and
removing all the complicated handling of the stack frame from the IRQ
exception entrypoint itself.

On UP systems, only a single task can be 'current' at the same time,
which means we can use a global variable to track it. This means we can
also enable THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK for those systems, as in that case,
thread_info is accessed via current rather than the other way around,
removing the need to store thread_info at the base of the task stack.
This, in turn, permits us to enable IRQ stacks and vmap'ed stacks on UP
systems as well.
To partially mitigate the performance overhead of this arrangement, use
a ADD/ADD/LDR sequence with the appropriate PC-relative group
relocations to load the value of current when needed. This means that
accessing current will still only require a single load as before,
avoiding the need for a literal to carry the address of the global
variable in each function. However, accessing thread_info will now
require this load as well.

Permit the use of the TPIDRPRW system register for carrying the per-CPU
offset in generic SMP configurations that also target non-SMP capable
ARMv6 cores. This uses the SMP_ON_UP code patching framework to turn all
TPIDRPRW accesses into reads/writes of entry #0 in the __per_cpu_offset
array.
While at it, switch over some existing direct TPIDRPRW accesses in asm
code to invocations of a new helper that is patched in the same way when
necessary.
Note that CPU_V6+SMP without SMP_ON_UP results in a kernel that does not
boot on v6 CPUs without SMP extensions, so add this dependency to
Kconfig as well.

to add a helper macro that can load variables from asm code without the
use of literal pool entries. On v7 or later, we can simply use MOVW/MOVT

Wire up the generic support for managing task stack allocations via vmalloc,
and implement the entry code that detects whether we faulted because of a
stack overrun (or future stack overrun caused by pushing the pt_regs array)
While this adds a fair amount of tricky entry asm code, it should be
noted that it only adds a TST + branch to the svc_entry path. The code
implementing the non-trivial handling of the overflow stack is emitted
out-of-line into the .text section.
Since on ARM, we rely on do_translation_fault() to keep PMD level page
table entries that cover the vmalloc region up to date, we need to
ensure that we don't hit such a stale PMD entry when accessing the
stack. So we do a dummy read from the new stack while still running from
the old one on the context switch path, and bump the vmalloc_seq counter
when PMD level entries in the vmalloc range are modified, so that the MM
switch fetches the latest version of the entries.
Note that we need to increase the per-mode stack by 1 word, to gain some
space to stash a GPR until we know it is safe to touch the stack.
However, due to the cacheline alignment of the struct, this does not
actually increase the memory footprint of the struct stack array at all.

The original Thumb-2 enablement patches updated the stack realignment
code in svc_entry to work around the lack of a STMIB instruction in
Thumb-2, by subtracting 4 from the frame size, inverting the sense of
the misaligment check, and changing to a STMIA instruction and a final
stack push of a 4 byte quantity that results in the stack becoming
aligned at the end of the sequence. It also pushes and pops R0 to the
stack in order to have a temp register that Thumb-2 allows in general
purpose ALU instructions, as TST using SP is not permitted.
Both are a bit problematic for vmap'ed stacks, as using the stack is
only permitted after we decide that we did not overflow the stack, or
have already switched to the overflow stack.
As for the alignment check: the current approach creates a corner case
where, if the initial SUB of SP ends up right at the start of the stack,
we will end up subtracting another 8 bytes and overflowing it. This
means we would need to add the overflow check *after* the SUB that
deliberately misaligns the stack. However, this would require us to keep
local state (i.e., whether we performed the subtract or not) across the
overflow check, but without any GPRs or stack available.
So let's switch to an approach where we don't use the stack, and where
the alignment check of the stack pointer occurs in the usual way, as
this is guaranteed not to result in overflow. This means we will be able
to do the overflow check first.
While at it, switch to R1 so the mode stack pointer in R0 remains
accessible.

The load-multiple instruction that essentially performs the switch_to
operation in ARM mode, by loading all callee save registers as well the
stack pointer and the program counter, is split into 3 separate loads
for Thumb-2, with the IP register used as a temporary to capture the
value of R4 before it gets overwritten.
We can clean this up a bit, by sticking with a single LDMIA instruction,
but one that pops SP and PC into IP and LR, respectively, and by using
ordinary move register and branch instructions to get those values into
SP and PC. This also allows us to move the set_current call closer to
the assignment of SP, reducing the window where those are mutually out
of sync. This is especially relevant for CONFIG_VMAP_STACK, which is
being introduced in a subsequent patch, where we need to issue a load
that might fault from the new stack while running from the old one, to
ensure that stale PMD entries in the VMALLOC space are synced up.

Now that we no longer rely on the stack pointer to access the current
task struct or thread info, we can implement support for IRQ stacks
cleanly as well.
Define a per-CPU IRQ stack and switch to this stack when taking an IRQ,
provided that we were not already using that stack in the interrupted
context. This is never the case for IRQs taken from user space, but ones
taken while running in the kernel could fire while one taken from user
space has not completed yet.

In preparation for removing HANDLE_DOMAIN_IRQ_IRQENTRY, have arch/arm
perform all the irqentry accounting in its entry code.
For configurations with CONFIG_GENERIC_IRQ_MULTI_HANDLER, we can use
generic_handle_arch_irq(). Other than asm_do_IRQ(), all C calls to
handle_IRQ() are from irqchip handlers which will be called from
generic_handle_arch_irq(), so to avoid double accounting IRQ entry, the
entry logic is moved from handle_IRQ() into asm_do_IRQ().
For ARMv7M the entry assembly is tightly coupled with the NVIC irqchip, and
while the entry code should logically live under arch/arm/, moving the
entry logic there makes things more convoluted. So for now, place the
entry logic in the NVIC irqchip, but separated into a separate
function to make the split of responsibility clear.
For all other configurations without CONFIG_GENERIC_IRQ_MULTI_HANDLER,
IRQ entry is already handled in arch code, and requires no changes.
There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Now that we no longer rely on thread_info living at the base of the task
stack to be able to access the 'current' pointer, we can wire up the

Note that this requires us to update the cpu field in thread_info
explicitly, now that the core code no longer does so. Ideally, we would
switch the percpu code to access the cpu field in task_struct instead,
but this unleashes #include circular dependency hell.

Now that the user space TLS register is assigned on every return to user
space, we can use it to keep the 'current' pointer while running in the
kernel. This removes the need to access it via thread_info, which is
located at the base of the stack, but will be moved out of there in a

Use the __builtin_thread_pointer() helper when available - this will

not necessary, even when using the per-task stack protector (which also
generates accesses via the TLS register). For example, the generated

The MaverickCrunch support for ep93xx never made it into glibc and
was removed from gcc in its 4.8 release in 2012. It is now one of
the last parts of arch/arm/ that fails to build with the clang
integrated assembler, which is unlikely to ever want to support it.
The two alternatives are to force the use of binutils/gas when
building the crunch support, or to remove it entirely.
According to Hartley Sweeten:
"Martin Guy did a lot of work trying to get the maverick crunch working
but I was never able to successfully use it for anything. It "kind"
of works but depending on the EP93xx silicon revision there are still
a number of hardware bugs that either give imprecise or garbage results.
I have no problem with removing the kernel support for the maverick
crunch."
Unless someone else comes up with a good reason to keep it around,
remove it now. This touches mostly the ep93xx platform, but removes
a bit of code from ARM common ptrace and signal frame handling as well.
If there are remaining users of MaverickCrunch, they can use LTS
kernels for at least another five years before kernel support ends.

There are a couple of problems with the exception entry code that deals
with FP exceptions (which are reported as UND exceptions) when building
the kernel in Thumb2 mode:
- the conditional branch to vfp_kmode_exception in vfp_support_entry()
may be out of range for its target, depending on how the linker decides
to arrange the sections;
- when the UND exception is taken in kernel mode, the emulation handling
logic is entered via the 'call_fpe' label, which means we end up using
the wrong value/mask pairs to match and detect the NEON opcodes.
Since UND exceptions in kernel mode are unlikely to occur on a hot path
(as opposed to the user mode version which is invoked for VFP support
code and lazy restore), we can use the existing undef hook machinery for
any kernel mode instruction emulation that is needed, including calling
the existing vfp_kmode_exception() routine for unexpected cases. So drop
the call to call_fpe, and instead, install an undef hook that will get
called for NEON and VFP instructions that trigger an UND exception in
kernel mode.
While at it, make sure that the PC correction is accurate for the
execution mode where the exception was taken, by checking the PSR
Thumb bit.

Define KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET,KASAN_SHADOW_START and KASAN_SHADOW_END for
the Arm kernel address sanitizer. We are "stealing" lowmem (the 4GB
addressable by a 32bit architecture) out of the virtual address
space to use as shadow memory for KASan as follows:
+----+ 0xffffffff
| |
| | |-> Static kernel image (vmlinux) BSS and page table
| |/
+----+ PAGE_OFFSET
| |
| | |-> Loadable kernel modules virtual address space area
| |/
+----+ MODULES_VADDR = KASAN_SHADOW_END
| |
| | |-> The shadow area of kernel virtual address.
| |/
+----+-> TASK_SIZE (start of kernel space) = KASAN_SHADOW_START the
| | shadow address of MODULES_VADDR
| | |
| | |
| | |-> The user space area in lowmem. The kernel address
| | | sanitizer do not use this space, nor does it map it.
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| |/
------ 0
0 .. TASK_SIZE is the memory that can be used by shared
userspace/kernelspace. It us used for userspace processes and for
passing parameters and memory buffers in system calls etc. We do not
need to shadow this area.
KASAN_SHADOW_START:
This value begins with the MODULE_VADDR's shadow address. It is the
start of kernel virtual space. Since we have modules to load, we need
to cover also that area with shadow memory so we can find memory
bugs in modules.
KASAN_SHADOW_END
This value is the 0x100000000's shadow address: the mapping that would
be after the end of the kernel memory at 0xffffffff. It is the end of
kernel address sanitizer shadow area. It is also the start of the
module area.
KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET:
This value is used to map an address to the corresponding shadow
address by the following formula:
shadow_addr = (address >> 3) + KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET;
As you would expect, >> 3 is equal to dividing by 8, meaning each
byte in the shadow memory covers 8 bytes of kernel memory, so one
bit shadow memory per byte of kernel memory is used.
The KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET is provided in a Kconfig option depending
on the VMSPLIT layout of the system: the kernel and userspace can
split up lowmem in different ways according to needs, so we calculate
the shadow offset depending on this.
When kasan is enabled, the definition of TASK_SIZE is not an 8-bit
rotated constant, so we need to modify the TASK_SIZE access code in the
*.s file.
The kernel and modules may use different amounts of memory,
according to the VMSPLIT configuration, which in turn
determines the PAGE_OFFSET.
We use the following KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSETs depending on how the
virtual memory is split up:
- 0x1f000000 if we have 1G userspace / 3G kernelspace split:
- The kernel address space is 3G (0xc0000000)
- PAGE_OFFSET is then set to 0x40000000 so the kernel static
image (vmlinux) uses addresses 0x40000000 .. 0xffffffff
- On top of that we have the MODULES_VADDR which under
the worst case (using ARM instructions) is
PAGE_OFFSET - 16M (0x01000000) = 0x3f000000
so the modules use addresses 0x3f000000 .. 0x3fffffff
- So the addresses 0x3f000000 .. 0xffffffff need to be
covered with shadow memory. That is 0xc1000000 bytes
of memory.
- 1/8 of that is needed for its shadow memory, so
0x18200000 bytes of shadow memory is needed. We
"steal" that from the remaining lowmem.
- The KASAN_SHADOW_START becomes 0x26e00000, to
KASAN_SHADOW_END at 0x3effffff.
- Now we can calculate the KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET for any
kernel address as 0x3f000000 needs to map to the first
byte of shadow memory and 0xffffffff needs to map to
the last byte of shadow memory. Since:
SHADOW_ADDR = (address >> 3) + KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET
0x26e00000 = (0x3f000000 >> 3) + KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET
KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET = 0x26e00000 - (0x3f000000 >> 3)
KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET = 0x26e00000 - 0x07e00000
KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET = 0x1f000000
- 0x5f000000 if we have 2G userspace / 2G kernelspace split:
- The kernel space is 2G (0x80000000)
- PAGE_OFFSET is set to 0x80000000 so the kernel static
image uses 0x80000000 .. 0xffffffff.
- On top of that we have the MODULES_VADDR which under
the worst case (using ARM instructions) is
PAGE_OFFSET - 16M (0x01000000) = 0x7f000000
so the modules use addresses 0x7f000000 .. 0x7fffffff
- So the addresses 0x7f000000 .. 0xffffffff need to be
covered with shadow memory. That is 0x81000000 bytes
of memory.
- 1/8 of that is needed for its shadow memory, so
0x10200000 bytes of shadow memory is needed. We
"steal" that from the remaining lowmem.
- The KASAN_SHADOW_START becomes 0x6ee00000, to
KASAN_SHADOW_END at 0x7effffff.
- Now we can calculate the KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET for any
kernel address as 0x7f000000 needs to map to the first
byte of shadow memory and 0xffffffff needs to map to
the last byte of shadow memory. Since:
SHADOW_ADDR = (address >> 3) + KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET
0x6ee00000 = (0x7f000000 >> 3) + KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET
KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET = 0x6ee00000 - (0x7f000000 >> 3)
KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET = 0x6ee00000 - 0x0fe00000
KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET = 0x5f000000
- 0x9f000000 if we have 3G userspace / 1G kernelspace split,
and this is the default split for ARM:
- The kernel address space is 1GB (0x40000000)
- PAGE_OFFSET is set to 0xc0000000 so the kernel static
image uses 0xc0000000 .. 0xffffffff.
- On top of that we have the MODULES_VADDR which under
the worst case (using ARM instructions) is
PAGE_OFFSET - 16M (0x01000000) = 0xbf000000
so the modules use addresses 0xbf000000 .. 0xbfffffff
- So the addresses 0xbf000000 .. 0xffffffff need to be
covered with shadow memory. That is 0x41000000 bytes
of memory.
- 1/8 of that is needed for its shadow memory, so
0x08200000 bytes of shadow memory is needed. We
"steal" that from the remaining lowmem.
- The KASAN_SHADOW_START becomes 0xb6e00000, to
KASAN_SHADOW_END at 0xbfffffff.
- Now we can calculate the KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET for any
kernel address as 0xbf000000 needs to map to the first
byte of shadow memory and 0xffffffff needs to map to
the last byte of shadow memory. Since:
SHADOW_ADDR = (address >> 3) + KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET
0xb6e00000 = (0xbf000000 >> 3) + KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET
KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET = 0xb6e00000 - (0xbf000000 >> 3)
KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET = 0xb6e00000 - 0x17e00000
KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET = 0x9f000000
- 0x8f000000 if we have 3G userspace / 1G kernelspace with
full 1 GB low memory (VMSPLIT_3G_OPT):
- The kernel address space is 1GB (0x40000000)
- PAGE_OFFSET is set to 0xb0000000 so the kernel static
image uses 0xb0000000 .. 0xffffffff.
- On top of that we have the MODULES_VADDR which under
the worst case (using ARM instructions) is
PAGE_OFFSET - 16M (0x01000000) = 0xaf000000
so the modules use addresses 0xaf000000 .. 0xaffffff
- So the addresses 0xaf000000 .. 0xffffffff need to be
covered with shadow memory. That is 0x51000000 bytes
of memory.
- 1/8 of that is needed for its shadow memory, so
0x0a200000 bytes of shadow memory is needed. We
"steal" that from the remaining lowmem.
- The KASAN_SHADOW_START becomes 0xa4e00000, to
KASAN_SHADOW_END at 0xaeffffff.
- Now we can calculate the KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET for any
kernel address as 0xaf000000 needs to map to the first
byte of shadow memory and 0xffffffff needs to map to
the last byte of shadow memory. Since:
SHADOW_ADDR = (address >> 3) + KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET
0xa4e00000 = (0xaf000000 >> 3) + KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET
KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET = 0xa4e00000 - (0xaf000000 >> 3)
KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET = 0xa4e00000 - 0x15e00000
KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET = 0x8f000000
- The default value of 0xffffffff for KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET
is an error value. We should always match one of the
above shadow offsets.
When we do this, TASK_SIZE will sometimes get a bit odd values
that will not fit into immediate mov assembly instructions.
To account for this, we need to rewrite some assembly using
TASK_SIZE like this:
- mov r1, #TASK_SIZE
+ ldr r1, =TASK_SIZE
or
- cmp r4, #TASK_SIZE
+ ldr r0, =TASK_SIZE
+ cmp r4, r0
this is done to avoid the immediate #TASK_SIZE that need to
fit into a limited number of bits.

The conversion is actually:
- add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
- fix tables markups;
- add some lists markups;
- mark literal blocks;
- adjust title markups.
At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to

The changes to automatically test for working stack protector compiler
support in the Kconfig files removed the special STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO
option that picked the strongest stack protector that the compiler
supported.
That was all a nice cleanup - it makes no sense to have the AUTO case
now that the Kconfig phase can just determine the compiler support
directly.
HOWEVER.
It also meant that doing "make oldconfig" would now _disable_ the strong
stackprotector if you had AUTO enabled, because in a legacy config file,
the sane stack protector configuration would look like
CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
# CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE is not set
# CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR is not set
# CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO=y
and when you ran this through "make oldconfig" with the Kbuild changes,
it would ask you about the regular CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR (that had
been renamed from CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR to just
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR), but it would think that the STRONG version
used to be disabled (because it was really enabled by AUTO), and would
disable it in the new config, resulting in:
CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE=y
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
# CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set
CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR=y
That's dangerously subtle - people could suddenly find themselves with
the weaker stack protector setup without even realizing.
The solution here is to just rename not just the old RECULAR stack
protector option, but also the strong one. This does that by just
removing the CC_ prefix entirely for the user choices, because it really
is not about the compiler support (the compiler support now instead
automatially impacts _visibility_ of the options to users).
This results in "make oldconfig" actually asking the user for their
choice, so that we don't have any silent subtle security model changes.
The end result would generally look like this:
CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE=y
CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR=y
CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y
CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR=y
where the "CC_" versions really are about internal compiler
infrastructure, not the user selections.

Avoid adding kprobes to any of the kernel entry/exit or startup
assembly code, or code in the identity-mapped region. This code does
not conform to the standard C conventions, which means that the
expectations of the kprobes code is not forfilled.
Placing kprobes at some of these locations results in the kernel trying
to return to userspace addresses while retaining the CPU in kernel mode.

Robert Jarzmik reports that his PXA25x system fails to boot with 4.12,

0xc0019e24 <+4>: ldr r0, [r1] <== here
with r1 containing 0xc06f82cd, which is the address of "clean_addr".
Examination of the System.map shows:
c06f22c8 D user_pmd_table
c06f22cc d __warned.19178
c06f22cd d clean_addr
indicating that a .data.unlikely section has appeared just before the
.data section from proc-xscale.S. According to objdump -h, it appears
that our assembly files default their .data alignment to 2**0, which
is bad news if the preceding .data section size is not power-of-2
aligned at link time.
Add the appropriate .align directives to all assembly files in arch/arm
that are missing them where we require an appropriate alignment.

Commit b9b32bf70f2f ("ARM: use linker magic for vectors and vector stubs")
updated the linker script to emit the .vectors and .stubs sections into a
VMA range that is zero based and disjoint from the normal static kernel
region. The reason for that was that this way, the sections can be placed
exactly 4 KB apart, while the payload of the .vectors section is only 32
bytes.
Since the symbols that are part of the .stubs section are emitted into the
kallsyms table, they appear with zero based addresses as well, e.g.,
00001004 t vector_rst
00001020 t vector_irq
000010a0 t vector_dabt
00001120 t vector_pabt
000011a0 t vector_und
00001220 t vector_addrexcptn
00001240 t vector_fiq
00001240 T vector_fiq_offset
As this confuses perf when it accesses the kallsyms tables, commit
7122c3e9154b ("scripts/link-vmlinux.sh: only filter kernel symbols for
arm") implemented a somewhat ugly special case for ARM, where the value
of CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET is passed to scripts/kallsyms, and symbols whose
addresses are below it are filtered out. Note that this special case only
applies to CONFIG_XIP_KERNEL=n, not because the issue the patch addresses
exists only in that case, but because finding a limit below which to apply
the filtering is not entirely straightforward.
Since the .vectors and .stubs sections contain position independent code
that is never executed in place, we can emit it at its most likely runtime
VMA (for more recent CPUs), which is 0xffff0000 for the vector table and
0xffff1000 for the stubs. Not only does this fix the perf issue with
kallsyms, allowing us to drop the special case in scripts/kallsyms
entirely, it also gives debuggers a more realistic view of the address
space, and setting breakpoints or single stepping through code in the
vector table or the stubs is more likely to work as expected on CPUs that
use a high vector address. E.g.,
00001240 A vector_fiq_offset
...
c0c35000 T __init_begin
c0c35000 T __vectors_start
c0c35020 T __stubs_start
c0c35020 T __vectors_end
c0c352e0 T _sinittext
c0c352e0 T __stubs_end
...
ffff1004 t vector_rst
ffff1020 t vector_irq
ffff10a0 t vector_dabt
ffff1120 t vector_pabt
ffff11a0 t vector_und
ffff1220 t vector_addrexcptn
ffff1240 T vector_fiq
(Note that vector_fiq_offset is now an absolute symbol, which kallsyms
already ignores by default)
The LMA footprint is identical with or without this change, only the VMAs
are different:

Commit b9b32bf70f2f ("ARM: use linker magic for vectors and vector stubs")
introduced new global definitions of __vectors_start and __stubs_start,
and changed the existing ones to have internal linkage only. However, these
symbols are still visible to kallsyms, and due to the way the .vectors and
.stubs sections are emitted at the base of the VMA space, these duplicate
definitions have conflicting values.
$ nm -n vmlinux |grep -E __vectors|__stubs
00000000 t __vectors_start
00001000 t __stubs_start
c0e77000 T __vectors_start
c0e77020 T __stubs_start
This is completely harmless by itself, since the wrong values are local
symbols that cannot be referenced by other object files directly. However,
since these symbols are also listed in the kallsyms symbol table in some
cases (i.e., CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL=y and CONFIG_XIP_KERNEL=y), having these
conflicting values can be confusing. So either remove them, or make them
strictly local.

Mark Brand reports that a NEEDS_SYSCALL_FOR_CMPXCHG enabled kernel would
open a security hole in the ghost syscall used to implement cmpxchg, as
it fails to validate the user pointer.
However, in order for this option to be enabled, you'd need to be
building a pre-ARMv6 kernel with SMP support. There is only one system
known which fits that, which is an early ARM SMP FPGA implementation
based on the ARM926T.
In any case, the Kconfig does not allow SMP to be enabled for pre-ARMv6
systems.
Moreover, even if NEEDS_SYSCALL_FOR_CMPXCHG were to be enabled, the
kernel would not build as __ARM_NR_cmpxchg64 is not defined.
The simple answer is to remove the buggy code.

Provide hooks into the kernel entry and exit paths to permit control
of userspace visibility to the kernel. The intended use is:
- on entry to kernel from user, uaccess_disable will be called to
disable userspace visibility
- on exit from kernel to user, uaccess_enable will be called to
enable userspace visibility
- on entry from a kernel exception, uaccess_save_and_disable will be
called to save the current userspace visibility setting, and disable
access
- on exit from a kernel exception, uaccess_restore will be called to
restore the userspace visibility as it was before the exception
occurred.
These hooks allows us to keep userspace visibility disabled for the
vast majority of the kernel, except for localised regions where we
want to explicitly access userspace.

Rather than modifying both the domain access control register and our
per-thread copy, modify only the domain access control register, and
use the per-thread copy to save and restore the register over context
switches. We can also avoid the explicit initialisation of the
init thread_info structure.
This allows us to avoid needing to gain access to the thread information
at the uaccess control sites.

Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
"These are late by a week; they should have been merged during the
merge window, but unfortunately, the ARM kernel build/boot farms were
indicating random failures, and it wasn't clear whether the cause was
something in these changes or something during the merge window.
This is a set of merge window fixes with some documentation additions"
