Upcoming errata workarounds will need to use SB from C code. Restore the
spec_bar() macro so that we can use SB.

This is effectively a revert of commit:

<title>arm64: uaccess: permit __smp_store_release() to use zero register</title>

<id>39c8275de81cf7fb524e2ff067aa175447412284</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently the asm constraints for __smp_store_release() require that the
value is placed in a "real" GPR (i.e. one other than [XW]ZR or SP).
This means that for cases such as:

    __smp_store_release(ptr, 0)

... the compiler has to move '0' into "real" GPR, e.g.

    mov     xN, #0
    stlr    xN, [&lt;addr&gt;]

This is unfortunate, as using the zero register would require fewer
instructions and save a "real" GPR for other usage, allowing the
compiler to generate:

    stlr    xzr, [&lt;addr&gt;]

Modify the asm constaints for __smp_store_release() to permit the use of
the zero register for the value.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

<title>arm64: add ARM64_HAS_GIC_PRIO_RELAXED_SYNC cpucap</title>

<id>8bf0a8048b155eebc05aa8896f4c378a4c538214</id>
<content type='text'>
When Priority Mask Hint Enable (PMHE) == 0b1, the GIC may use the PMR
value to determine whether to signal an IRQ to a PE, and consequently
after a change to the PMR value, a DSB SY may be required to ensure that
interrupts are signalled to a CPU in finite time. When PMHE == 0b0,
interrupts are always signalled to the relevant PE, and all masking
occurs locally, without requiring a DSB SY.

Since commit:

  f226650494c6aa87 ("arm64: Relax ICC_PMR_EL1 accesses when ICC_CTLR_EL1.PMHE is clear")

... we handle this dynamically: in most cases a static key is used to
determine whether to issue a DSB SY, but the entry code must read from
ICC_CTLR_EL1 as static keys aren't accessible from plain assembly.

It would be much nicer to use an alternative instruction sequence for
the DSB, as this would avoid the need to read from ICC_CTLR_EL1 in the
entry code, and for most other code this will result in simpler code
generation with fewer instructions and fewer branches.

This patch adds a new ARM64_HAS_GIC_PRIO_RELAXED_SYNC cpucap which is
only set when ICC_CTLR_EL1.PMHE == 0b0 (and GIC priority masking is in
use). This allows us to replace the existing users of the
`gic_pmr_sync` static key with alternative sequences which default to a
DSB SY and are relaxed to a NOP when PMHE is not in use.

The entry assembly management of the PMR is slightly restructured to use
a branch (rather than multiple NOPs) when priority masking is not in
use. This is more in keeping with other alternatives in the entry
assembly, and permits the use of a separate alternatives for the
PMHE-dependent DSB SY (and removal of the conditional branch this
currently requires). For consistency I've adjusted both the save and
restore paths.

According to bloat-o-meter, when building defconfig +
CONFIG_ARM64_PSEUDO_NMI=y this shrinks the kernel text by ~4KiB:

| add/remove: 4/2 grow/shrink: 42/310 up/down: 332/-5032 (-4700)

The resulting vmlinux is ~66KiB smaller, though the resulting Image size
is unchanged due to padding and alignment:

| [mark@lakrids:~/src/linux]% ls -al vmlinux-*
| -rwxr-xr-x 1 mark mark 137508344 Jan 17 14:11 vmlinux-after
| -rwxr-xr-x 1 mark mark 137575440 Jan 17 13:49 vmlinux-before
| [mark@lakrids:~/src/linux]% ls -al Image-*
| -rw-r--r-- 1 mark mark 38777344 Jan 17 14:11 Image-after
| -rw-r--r-- 1 mark mark 38777344 Jan 17 13:49 Image-before

Prior to this patch we did not verify the state of ICC_CTLR_EL1.PMHE on
secondary CPUs. As of this patch this is verified by the cpufeature code
when using GIC priority masking (i.e. when using pseudo-NMIs).

Note that since commit:

  7e3a57fa6ca831fa ("arm64: Document ICC_CTLR_EL3.PMHE setting requirements")

... Documentation/arm64/booting.rst specifies:

|      - ICC_CTLR_EL3.PMHE (bit 6) must be set to the same value across
|        all CPUs the kernel is executing on, and must stay constant
|        for the lifetime of the kernel.

... so that should not adversely affect any compliant systems, and as
we'll only check for the absense of PMHE when using pseudo-NMIs, this
will only fire when such mismatch will adversely affect the system.

<title>arm64: kcsan: Support detecting more missing memory barriers</title>

<id>4d09caec2fab16977cf7c3f384a7daf76dc1f3fb</id>
<content type='text'>
As "kcsan: Support detecting a subset of missing memory barriers"[1]
introduced KCSAN_STRICT/KCSAN_WEAK_MEMORY which make kcsan detects
more missing memory barrier, but arm64 don't have KCSAN instrumentation
for barriers, so the new selftest test_barrier() and test cases for
memory barrier instrumentation in kcsan_test module will fail, even
panic on selftest.

Let's prefix all barriers with __ on arm64, as asm-generic/barriers.h
defined the final instrumented version of these barriers, which will
fix the above issues.

Note, barrier instrumentation that can be disabled via __no_kcsan with
appropriate compiler-support (and not just with objtool help), see
commit bd3d5bd1a0ad ("kcsan: Support WEAK_MEMORY with Clang where no
objtool support exists"), it adds disable_sanitizer_instrumentation to
__no_kcsan attribute which will remove all sanitizer instrumentation fully
(with Clang 14.0). Meanwhile, GCC does the same thing with no_sanitize.

For memory accesses with write-combining attributes (e.g. those returned
by ioremap_wc()), the CPU may wait for prior accesses to be merged with
subsequent ones. But in some situation, such wait is bad for the
performance.

We introduce io_stop_wc() to prevent the merging of write-combining
memory accesses before this macro with those after it.

We add implementation for ARM64 using DGH instruction and provide NOP
implementation for other architectures.

<title>arm64: errata: Add workaround for TSB flush failures</title>

<content type='text'>
Arm Neoverse-N2 (#2067961) and Cortex-A710 (#2054223) suffers
from errata, where a TSB (trace synchronization barrier)
fails to flush the trace data completely, when executed from
a trace prohibited region. In Linux we always execute it
after we have moved the PE to trace prohibited region. So,
we can apply the workaround every time a TSB is executed.

The work around is to issue two TSB consecutively.

NOTE: This errata is defined as LOCAL_CPU_ERRATUM, implying
that a late CPU could be blocked from booting if it is the
first CPU that requires the workaround. This is because we
do not allow setting a cpu_hwcaps after the SMP boot. The
other alternative is to use "this_cpu_has_cap()" instead
of the faster system wide check, which may be a bit of an
overhead, given we may have to do this in nvhe KVM host
before a guest entry.

Arm Neoverse-N2 (#2067961) and Cortex-A710 (#2054223) suffers
from errata, where a TSB (trace synchronization barrier)
fails to flush the trace data completely, when executed from
a trace prohibited region. In Linux we always execute it
after we have moved the PE to trace prohibited region. So,
we can apply the workaround every time a TSB is executed.

The work around is to issue two TSB consecutively.

NOTE: This errata is defined as LOCAL_CPU_ERRATUM, implying
that a late CPU could be blocked from booting if it is the
first CPU that requires the workaround. This is because we
do not allow setting a cpu_hwcaps after the SMP boot. The
other alternative is to use "this_cpu_has_cap()" instead
of the faster system wide check, which may be a bit of an
overhead, given we may have to do this in nvhe KVM host
before a guest entry.

   - /dev/kvm API for AMD SEV live migration (guest API coming soon)

   - support SEV virtual machines sharing the same encryption context

   - support SGX in virtual machines

   - add a few more statistics

   - improved directed yield heuristics

   - Lots and lots of cleanups

  Generic:

   - Rework of MMU notifier interface, simplifying and optimizing the
     architecture-specific code

   - a handful of "Get rid of oprofile leftovers" patches

   - Some selftests improvements"
