apply_alternatives_vdso(), __apply_alternatives_multi_stop() and
kernel_alternatives are not needed after booting, so mark the two
functions as __init and the var as __initconst.

We define and use apply_alternatives_vdso() within alternative.c, and
don't provide a prototype in a header. There's no need for it to be
visible outside of alternative.c, so mark it as static.
There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

For each instance of an alternative, the compiler outputs a distinct
copy of the alternative instructions into a subsection. As the compiler
doesn't have special knowledge of alternatives, it cannot coalesce these
to save space.
In a defconfig kernel built with GCC 12.1.0, there are approximately
10,000 instances of alternative_has_feature_likely(), where the
replacement instruction is always a NOP. As NOPs are
position-independent, we don't need a unique copy per alternative
sequence.
This patch adds a callback to patch an alternative sequence with NOPs,
and make use of this in alternative_has_feature_likely(). So that this
can be used for other sites in future, this is written to patch multiple
instructions up to the original sequence length.
For NVHE, an alias is added to image-vars.h.
For modules, the callback is exported. Note that as modules are loaded
within 2GiB of the kernel, an alt_instr entry in a module can always
refer directly to the callback, and no special handling is necessary.
When building with GCC 12.1.0, the vmlinux is ~158KiB smaller, though
the resulting Image size is unchanged due to alignment constraints and
padding:

Today, callback alternatives are special-cased within
__apply_alternatives(), and are applied alongside patching for system
capabilities as ARM64_NCAPS is not part of the boot_capabilities feature
mask.
This special-casing is less than ideal. Giving special meaning to
ARM64_NCAPS for this requires some structures and loops to use
ARM64_NCAPS + 1 (AKA ARM64_NPATCHABLE), while others use ARM64_NCAPS.
It's also not immediately clear callback alternatives are only applied
when applying alternatives for system-wide features.
To make this a bit clearer, changes the way that callback alternatives
are identified to remove the special-casing of ARM64_NCAPS, and to allow
callback alternatives to be associated with a cpucap as with all other
alternatives.
New cpucaps, ARM64_ALWAYS_BOOT and ARM64_ALWAYS_SYSTEM are added which
are always detected alongside boot cpu capabilities and system
capabilities respectively. All existing callback alternatives are made
to use ARM64_ALWAYS_SYSTEM, and so will be patched at the same point
during the boot flow as before.
Subsequent patches will make more use of these new cpucaps.
There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

We never alter a struct alt_region after creation, and we open-code the
bounds of the kernel alternatives region in two functions. The
duplication is a bit unfortunate for clarity (and in future we're likely
to have more functions altering alternative regions), and to avoid
accidents it would be good to make the structure const.
This patch adds a shared struct `kernel_alternatives` alt_region for the
main kernel image, and marks the alt_regions as const to prevent
unintentional modification.
There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Printing in the middle of __apply_alternatives() is potentially unsafe
and not all that helpful given these days we practically always patch
*something*.
Hoist the print out of __apply_alternatives(), and add separate prints
to __apply_alternatives() and apply_alternatives_all(), which will make
it easier to spot if either patching call goes wrong.

The alternatives code must be `noinstr` such that it does not patch itself,
as the cache invalidation is only performed after all the alternatives have
been applied.
Mark patch_alternative() as `noinstr`. Mark branch_insn_requires_update()
and get_alt_insn() with `__always_inline` since they are both only called
through patch_alternative().
Booting a kernel in QEMU TCG with KCSAN=y and ARM64_USE_LSE_ATOMICS=y caused
a boot hang:
[ 0.241121] CPU: All CPU(s) started at EL2
The alternatives code was patching the atomics in __tsan_read4() from LL/SC
atomics to LSE atomics.
The following fragment is using LL/SC atomics in the .text section:
| <__tsan_unaligned_read4+304>: ldxr x6, [x2]
| <__tsan_unaligned_read4+308>: add x6, x6, x5
| <__tsan_unaligned_read4+312>: stxr w7, x6, [x2]
| <__tsan_unaligned_read4+316>: cbnz w7, <__tsan_unaligned_read4+304>
This LL/SC atomic sequence was to be replaced with LSE atomics. However since
the alternatives code was instrumentable, __tsan_read4() was being called after
only the first instruction was replaced, which led to the following code in memory:
| <__tsan_unaligned_read4+304>: ldadd x5, x6, [x2]
| <__tsan_unaligned_read4+308>: add x6, x6, x5
| <__tsan_unaligned_read4+312>: stxr w7, x6, [x2]
| <__tsan_unaligned_read4+316>: cbnz w7, <__tsan_unaligned_read4+304>
This caused an infinite loop as the `stxr` instruction never completed successfully,
so `w7` was always 0.

Although naming across the codebase isn't that consistent, it
tends to follow certain patterns. Moreover, the term "flush"
isn't defined in the Arm Architecture reference manual, and might
be interpreted to mean clean, invalidate, or both for a cache.
Rename arm64-internal functions to make the naming internally
consistent, as well as making it consistent with the Arm ARM, by
specifying whether it applies to the instruction, data, or both
caches, whether the operation is a clean, invalidate, or both.
Also specify which point the operation applies to, i.e., to the
point of unification (PoU), coherency (PoC), or persistence
(PoP).
This commit applies the following sed transformation to all files
under arch/arm64:
"s/\b__flush_cache_range\b/caches_clean_inval_pou_macro/g;"\
"s/\b__flush_icache_range\b/caches_clean_inval_pou/g;"\
"s/\binvalidate_icache_range\b/icache_inval_pou/g;"\
"s/\b__flush_dcache_area\b/dcache_clean_inval_poc/g;"\
"s/\b__inval_dcache_area\b/dcache_inval_poc/g;"\
"s/__clean_dcache_area_poc\b/dcache_clean_poc/g;"\
"s/\b__clean_dcache_area_pop\b/dcache_clean_pop/g;"\
"s/\b__clean_dcache_area_pou\b/dcache_clean_pou/g;"\
"s/\b__flush_cache_user_range\b/caches_clean_inval_user_pou/g;"\
"s/\b__flush_icache_all\b/icache_inval_all_pou/g;"
Note that __clean_dcache_area_poc is deliberately missing a word
boundary check at the beginning in order to match the efistub
symbols in image-vars.h.
Also note that, despite its name, __flush_icache_range operates
on both instruction and data caches. The name change here
reflects that.
No functional change intended.

In __apply_alternatives() we take a pointer to void which we later
assign to a pointer to struct alt_region. As all callers are passing a
pointer to struct alt_region to begin with, it's simpler and more robust
to take a pointer to struct alt region, so let's do so and avoid the
need for a temporary variable.

__apply_alternatives makes indirect calls to functions whose address
is taken in assembly code using the alternative_cb macro. With
non-canonical CFI, the compiler won't replace these function
references with the jump table addresses, which trips CFI. Disable CFI
checking in the function to work around the issue.

Commit f7b93d42945c ("arm64/alternatives: use subsections for replacement
sequences") moved the alternatives replacement sequences into subsections,
in order to keep the as close as possible to the code that they replace.
Unfortunately, this broke the logic in branch_insn_requires_update,
which assumed that any branch into kernel executable code was a branch
that required updating, which is no longer the case now that the code
sequences that are patched in are in the same section as the patch site
itself.
So the only way to discriminate branches that require updating and ones
that don't is to check whether the branch targets the replacement sequence
itself, and so we can drop the call to kernel_text_address() entirely.

much earlier in the boot sequence.

The implementation of flush_icache_range() includes instruction sequences
which are themselves patched at runtime, so it is not safe to call from
the patching framework.
This patch reworks the alternatives cache-flushing code so that it rolls
its own internal D-cache maintenance using DC CIVAC before invalidating
the entire I-cache after all alternatives have been applied at boot.
Modules don't cause any issues, since flush_icache_range() is safe to
call by the time they are loaded.

We've so far relied on a patching infrastructure that only gave us
a single alternative, without any way to provide a range of potential
replacement instructions. For a single feature, this is an all or
nothing thing.
It would be interesting to have a more flexible grained way of patching
the kernel though, where we could dynamically tune the code that gets
injected.
In order to achive this, let's introduce a new form of dynamic patching,
assiciating a callback to a patching site. This callback gets source and
target locations of the patching request, as well as the number of
instructions to be patched.
Dynamic patching is declared with the new ALTERNATIVE_CB and alternative_cb
directives:
asm volatile(ALTERNATIVE_CB("mov %0, #0\n", callback)
: "r" (v));
or
alternative_cb callback
mov x0, #0
alternative_cb_end

Now that KVM uses tpidr_el2 in the same way as Linux's cpu_offset in
tpidr_el1, merge the two. This saves KVM from save/restoring tpidr_el1
on VHE hosts, and allows future code to blindly access per-cpu variables
without triggering world-switch.

get_alt_insn() is used to read and create ARM instructions, which
are always stored in memory in little-endian order. These values
are thus correctly converted to/from native order when processed
but the pointers used to hold the address of these instructions
are declared as for native order values.
Fix this by declaring the pointers as __le32* instead of u32* and
make the few appropriate needed changes like removing the unneeded
cast '(u32*)' in front of __ALT_PTR()'s definition.

One important rule of thumb when desiging a secure software system is
that memory should never be writable and executable at the same time.
We mostly adhere to this rule in the kernel, except at boot time, when
regions may be mapped RWX until after we are done applying alternatives
or making other one-off changes.
For the alternative patching, we can improve the situation by applying
the fixups via the linear mapping, which is never mapped with executable
permissions. So map the linear alias of .text with RW- permissions
initially, and remove the write permissions as soon as alternative
patching has completed.

adrp uses PC-relative address offset to a page (of 4K size) of
a symbol. If it appears in an alternative code patched in, we
should adjust the offset to reflect the address where it will
be run from. This patch adds support for fixing the offset
for adrp instructions.

The alternative code patching doesn't check if the replaced instruction
uses a pc relative literal. This could cause silent corruption in the
instruction stream as the instruction will be executed from a different
address than what it was compiled for. Catch all such cases.

Each time new section markers are added, kernel/vmlinux.ld.S is updated,
and new extern char __start_foo[] definitions are scattered through the
tree.
Create asm/include/sections.h to collect these definitions (and include
the existing asm-generic version).

Currently we treat the alternatives separately from other data that's
only used during initialisation, using separate .altinstructions and
.altinstr_replacement linker sections. These are freed for general
allocation separately from .init*. This is problematic as:
* We do not remove execute permissions, as we do for .init, leaving the
memory executable.
* We pad between them, making the kernel Image bianry up to PAGE_SIZE
bytes larger than necessary.
This patch moves the two sections into the contiguous region used for
.init*. This saves some memory, ensures that we remove execute
permissions, and allows us to remove some code made redundant by this
reorganisation.

In order to guarantee that the patched instruction stream is visible to
a CPU, that CPU must execute an isb instruction after any related cache
maintenance has completed.
The instruction patching routines in kernel/insn.c get this right for
things like jump labels and ftrace, but the alternatives patching omits
it entirely leaving secondary cores in a potential limbo between the old
and the new code.
This patch adds an isb following the secondary polling loop in the
altenatives patching.

When patching the kernel text with alternatives, we may end up patching
parts of the stop_machine state machine (e.g. atomic_dec_and_test in
ack_state) and consequently corrupt the instruction stream of any
secondary CPUs.
This patch passes the cpu_online_mask to stop_machine, forcing all of
the CPUs into our own callback which can place the secondary cores into
a dumb (but safe!) polling loop whilst the patching is carried out.

Since all branches are PC-relative on AArch64, these instructions
cannot be used as an alternative with the simplistic approach
we currently have (the immediate has been computed from
the .altinstr_replacement section, and end-up being completely off
if the target is outside of the replacement sequence).
This patch handles the branch instructions in a different way,
using the insn framework to recompute the immediate, and generate
the right displacement in the above case.

This reverts most of commit fef7f2b2010381c795ae43743ad31931cc58f5ad.
It turns out that there are a couple of problems with the way we're
fixing up branch instructions used as part of alternative instruction
sequences:
(1) If the branch target is also in the alternative sequence, we'll
generate a branch into the .altinstructions section which actually
gets freed.
(2) The calls to aarch64_insn_{read,write} bring an awful lot more
code into the patching path (e.g. taking locks, poking the fixmap,
invalidating the TLB) which isn't actually needed for the early
patching run under stop_machine, but makes the use of alternative
sequences extremely fragile (as we can't patch code that could be
used by the patching code).
Given that no code actually requires alternative patching of immediate
branches, let's remove this support for now and revisit it when we've
got a user. We leave the updated size check, since we really do require
the sequences to be the same length.

Currently the kernel patches all necessary instructions once at boot
time, so modules are not covered by this.
Change the apply_alternatives() function to take a beginning and an
end pointer and introduce a new variant (apply_alternatives_all()) to
cover the existing use case for the static kernel image section.
Add a module_finalize() function to arm64 to check for an
alternatives section in a module and patch only the instructions from
that specific area.
Since that module code is not touched before the module
initialization has ended, we don't need to halt the machine before
doing the patching in the module's code.

This is quite basic for now and we only provide the functions we need
at this time.
This is connected to the newly introduced feature bits.
