commit e19a6ee2460bdd0d0055a6029383422773f9999a upstream.

If we take an exception while at EL1, the exception handler inherits
the original context's addr_limit and PSTATE.UAO values. To be consistent
always reset addr_limit and PSTATE.UAO on (re-)entry to EL1. This
prevents accidental re-use of the original context's addr_limit.

Based on a similar patch for arm from Russell King.

<title>arm64: mm: rewrite ASID allocator and MM context-switching code</title>
<updated>2015-10-07T10:55:41+00:00</updated>

<id>5aec715d7d3122f77cabaa7578d9d25a0c1ed20e</id>
<content type='text'>
Our current switch_mm implementation suffers from a number of problems:

  (1) The ASID allocator relies on IPIs to synchronise the CPUs on a
      rollover event

  (2) Because of (1), we cannot allocate ASIDs with interrupts disabled
      and therefore make use of a TIF_SWITCH_MM flag to postpone the
      actual switch to finish_arch_post_lock_switch

  (3) We run context switch with a reserved (invalid) TTBR0 value, even
      though the ASID and pgd are updated atomically

  (4) We take a global spinlock (cpu_asid_lock) during context-switch

  (5) We use h/w broadcast TLB operations when they are not required
      (e.g. in flush_context)

This patch addresses these problems by rewriting the ASID algorithm to
match the bitmap-based arch/arm/ implementation more closely. This in
turn allows us to remove much of the complications surrounding switch_mm,
including the ugly thread flag.

This introduces a level of indirection for the debug registers. Instead
of using the sys_regs[] directly we store registers in a structure in
the vcpu. The new kvm_arm_reset_debug_ptr() sets the debug ptr to the
guest context.

Because we no longer give the sys_regs offset for the sys_reg_desc-&gt;reg
field, but instead the index into a debug-specific struct we need to
add a number of additional trap functions for each register. Also as the
generic generic user-space access code no longer works we have
introduced a new pair of function pointers to the sys_reg_desc structure
to override the generic code when needed.

This is a precursor for later patches which will need to do more to
setup debug state before entering the hyp.S switch code. The existing
functionality for setting mdcr_el2 has been moved out of hyp.S and now
uses the value kept in vcpu-&gt;arch.mdcr_el2.

As the assembler used to previously mask and preserve MDCR_EL2.HPMN I've
had to add a mechanism to save the value of mdcr_el2 as a per-cpu
variable during the initialisation code. The kernel never sets this
number so we are assuming the bootcode has set up the correct value
here.

This also moves the conditional setting of the TDA bit from the hyp code
into the C code which is currently used for the lazy debug register
context switch code.

So far, we configured the world-switch by having a small array
of pointers to the save and restore functions, depending on the
GIC used on the platform.

Loading these values each time is a bit silly (they never change),
and it makes sense to rely on the instruction patching instead.

This leads to a nice cleanup of the code.

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, ...)"

struct cpu_table is an artifact left from the (very) early days of
the arm64 port, and its only real use is to allow the most beautiful
"AArch64 Processor" string to be displayed at boot time.

Really? Yes, really.

Let's get rid of it. In order to avoid another BogoMips-gate, the
aforementioned string is preserved.

Pull KVM update from Paolo Bonzini:
 "Fairly small update, but there are some interesting new features.

  Common:
     Optional support for adding a small amount of polling on each HLT
     instruction executed in the guest (or equivalent for other
     architectures).  This can improve latency up to 50% on some
     scenarios (e.g. O_DSYNC writes or TCP_RR netperf tests).  This
     also has to be enabled manually for now, but the plan is to
     auto-tune this in the future.

  ARM/ARM64:
     The highlights are support for GICv3 emulation and dirty page
     tracking

  s390:
     Several optimizations and bugfixes.  Also a first: a feature
     exposed by KVM (UUID and long guest name in /proc/sysinfo) before
     it is available in IBM's hypervisor! :)

  MIPS:
     Bugfixes.

  x86:
     Support for PML (page modification logging, a new feature in
     Broadwell Xeons that speeds up dirty page tracking), nested
     virtualization improvements (nested APICv---a nice optimization),
     usual round of emulation fixes.

     There is also a new option to reduce latency of the TSC deadline
     timer in the guest; this needs to be tuned manually.

     Some commits are common between this pull and Catalin's; I see you
     have already included his tree.

  Powerpc:
     Nothing yet.

     The KVM/PPC changes will come in through the PPC maintainers,
     because I haven't received them yet and I might end up being
     offline for some part of next week"
