Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux

2015-04-16T18:58:29Z

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon: "Here are the core arm64 updates for 4.1. Highlights include a significant rework to head.S (allowing us to boot on machines with physical memory at a really high address), an AES performance boost on Cortex-A57 and the ability to run a 32-bit userspace with 64k pages (although this requires said userspace to be built with a recent binutils). The head.S rework spilt over into KVM, so there are some changes under arch/arm/ which have been acked by Marc Zyngier (KVM co-maintainer). In particular, the linker script changes caused us some issues in -next, so there are a few merge commits where we had to apply fixes on top of a stable branch. Other changes include: - AES performance boost for Cortex-A57 - AArch32 (compat) userspace with 64k pages - Cortex-A53 erratum workaround for #845719 - defconfig updates (new platforms, PCI, ...)" * tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: (39 commits) arm64: fix midr range for Cortex-A57 erratum 832075 arm64: errata: add workaround for cortex-a53 erratum #845719 arm64: Use bool function return values of true/false not 1/0 arm64: defconfig: updates for 4.1 arm64: Extract feature parsing code from cpu_errata.c arm64: alternative: Allow immediate branch as alternative instruction arm64: insn: Add aarch64_insn_decode_immediate ARM: kvm: round HYP section to page size instead of log2 upper bound ARM: kvm: assert on HYP section boundaries not actual code size arm64: head.S: ensure idmap_t0sz is visible arm64: pmu: add support for interrupt-affinity property dt: pmu: extend ARM PMU binding to allow for explicit interrupt affinity arm64: head.S: ensure visibility of page tables arm64: KVM: use ID map with increased VA range if required arm64: mm: increase VA range of identity map ARM: kvm: implement replacement for ld's LOG2CEIL() arm64: proc: remove unused cpu_get_pgd macro arm64: enforce x1|x2|x3 == 0 upon kernel entry as per boot protocol arm64: remove __calc_phys_offset arm64: merge __enable_mmu and __turn_mmu_on ...

ARM: 8322/1: keep .text and .fixup regions closer together

2015-03-29T22:11:56Z

This moves all fixup snippets to the .text.fixup section, which is a special section that gets emitted along with the .text section for each input object file, i.e., the snippets are kept much closer to the code they refer to, which helps prevent linker failure on large kernels.

ARM: 8317/1: move the .idmap.text section closer to .head.text

2015-03-28T15:46:14Z

This moves the .idmap.text section closer to .head.text, so that relative branches are less likely to go out of range if the kernel text gets bigger. Acked-by: Nicolas Pitre Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel Signed-off-by: Russell King

ARM: kvm: round HYP section to page size instead of log2 upper bound

2015-03-27T12:21:27Z

Older binutils do not support expressions involving the values of external symbols so just round up the HYP region to the page size. Tested-by: Simon Horman Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel [will: when will this ever end?!] Signed-off-by: Will Deacon

ARM: kvm: assert on HYP section boundaries not actual code size

2015-03-25T11:43:46Z

Using ASSERT() with an expression that involves a symbol that is only supplied through a PROVIDE() definition in the linker script itself is apparently not supported by some older versions of binutils. So instead, rewrite the expression so that only the section boundaries __hyp_idmap_text_start and __hyp_idmap_text_end are used. Note that this reverts the fix in 06f75a1f6200 ("ARM, arm64: kvm: get rid of the bounce page") for the ASSERT() being triggered erroneously when unrelated linker emitted veneers happen to end up in the HYP idmap region.

ARM: kvm: implement replacement for ld's LOG2CEIL()

2015-03-23T11:16:50Z

Commit 06f75a1f6200 ("ARM, arm64: kvm: get rid of the bounce page") uses ld's builtin function LOG2CEIL() to align the KVM init code to a log2 upper bound of its size. However, this function turns out to be a fairly recent addition to binutils, which breaks the build for older toolchains. So instead, implement a replacement LOG2_ROUNDUP() using the C preprocessor.

ARM, arm64: kvm: get rid of the bounce page

2015-03-19T19:21:56Z

The HYP init bounce page is a runtime construct that ensures that the HYP init code does not cross a page boundary. However, this is something we can do perfectly well at build time, by aligning the code appropriately. For arm64, we just align to 4 KB, and enforce that the code size is less than 4 KB, regardless of the chosen page size. For ARM, the whole code is less than 256 bytes, so we tweak the linker script to align at a power of 2 upper bound of the code size Note that this also fixes a benign off-by-one error in the original bounce page code, where a bounce page would be allocated unnecessarily if the code was exactly 1 page in size. On ARM, it also fixes an issue with very large kernels reported by Arnd Bergmann, where stub sections with linker emitted veneers could erroneously trigger the size/alignment ASSERT() in the linker script.

generic fixmaps ARM support for CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA

ARM: mm: allow text and rodata sections to be read-only

2014-10-16T21:38:54Z

This introduces CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA, making kernel text and rodata read-only. Additionally, this splits rodata from text so that rodata can also be NX, which may lead to wasted memory when aligning to SECTION_SIZE. The read-only areas are made writable during ftrace updates and kexec. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook Tested-by: Laura Abbott Acked-by: Nicolas Pitre

ARM: mm: allow non-text sections to be non-executable

2014-10-16T21:38:54Z

Adds CONFIG_ARM_KERNMEM_PERMS to separate the kernel memory regions into section-sized areas that can have different permisions. Performs the NX permission changes during free_initmem, so that init memory can be reclaimed. This uses section size instead of PMD size to reduce memory lost to padding on non-LPAE systems.
