TPIDRURW is a user read/write register forming part of the group of thread registers in more recent versions of the ARM architecture (~v6+). Currently, the kernel does not touch this register, which allows tasks to communicate covertly by reading and writing to the register without context-switching affecting its contents. This patch clears TPIDRURW when TPIDRURO is updated via the set_tls macro, which is called directly from __switch_to. Since the current behaviour makes the register useless to userspace as far as thread pointers are concerned, simply clearing the register (rather than saving and restoring it) will not cause any problems to userspace.

commit 6a1c53124aa161eb624ce7b1e40ade728186d34c upstream.

TPIDRURW is a user read/write register forming part of the group of
thread registers in more recent versions of the ARM architecture (~v6+).

Currently, the kernel does not touch this register, which allows tasks
to communicate covertly by reading and writing to the register without
context-switching affecting its contents.

This patch clears TPIDRURW when TPIDRURO is updated via the set_tls
macro, which is called directly from __switch_to. Since the current
behaviour makes the register useless to userspace as far as thread
pointers are concerned, simply clearing the register (rather than saving
and restoring it) will not cause any problems to userspace.

ARM: 7354/1: perf: limit sample_period to half max_period in non-sampling mode 2012-03-07T09:40:48+00:00 Will Deacon will.deacon@arm.com 2012-03-06T16:33:17+00:00 5727347180ebc6b4a866fcbe00dcb39cc03acb37 On ARM, the PMU does not stop counting after an overflow and therefore IRQ latency affects the new counter value read by the kernel. This is significant for non-sampling runs where it is possible for the new value to overtake the previous one, causing the delta to be out by up to max_period events. Commit a737823d ("ARM: 6835/1: perf: ensure overflows aren't missed due to IRQ latency") attempted to fix this problem by allowing interrupt handlers to pass an overflow flag to the event update function, causing the overflow calculation to assume that the counter passed through zero when going from prev to new. Unfortunately, this doesn't work when overflow occurs on the perf_task_tick path because we have the flag cleared and end up computing a large negative delta. This patch removes the overflow flag from armpmu_event_update and instead limits the sample_period to half of the max_period for non-sampling profiling runs.

This is because v7_setup (which is called very early during boot) calls v7_flush_dcache_all, and the save_and_disable_irqs added by that patch ends up attempting to call into lockdep C code (trace_hardirqs_off()) when we are in no position to execute it (no stack, MMU off). Fix this by using a notrace variant of save_and_disable_irqs. The code already uses the notrace variant of restore_irqs.

However, the __pte_free_tlb() function only adds a single TLB flush corresponding to 1MB range covering 'addr'. On Cortex-A15, level 1 entries can be cached by the TLB independently of the level 2 entries and without additional flushing a PMD entry would be left pointing at the wrong PTE.
