<content type='text'>
This patch leverages the alternative mechanism to dynamically optimize
bitops (including __ffs, __fls, ffs, fls) with Zbb instructions. When
Zbb ext is not supported by the runtime CPU, legacy implementation is
used. If Zbb is supported, then the optimized variants will be selected
via alternative patching.

The legacy bitops support is taken from the generic C implementation as
fallback.

If the parameter is a build-time constant, we leverage compiler builtin to
calculate the result directly, this approach is inspired by x86 bitops
implementation.

EFI stub runs before the kernel, so alternative mechanism should not be
used there, this patch introduces a macro NO_ALTERNATIVE for this purpose.

Now hwcap.h and cpufeature.h are mutually including each other, and most of
the variable/API declarations in hwcap.h are implemented in cpufeature.c,
so, it's better to move them into cpufeature.h and leave only macros for
ISA extension logical IDs in hwcap.h.

BTW, the riscv_isa_extension_mask macro is not used now, so this patch
removes it.

The riscv_of_processor_hartid() used by riscv_of_parent_hartid() fails
for HARTs disabled in the DT. This results in the following warning
thrown by the RISC-V INTC driver for the E-core on SiFive boards:

[    0.000000] riscv-intc: unable to find hart id for /cpus/cpu@0/interrupt-controller

The riscv_of_parent_hartid() is only expected to read the hartid
from the DT so we directly call of_get_cpu_hwid() instead of calling
riscv_of_processor_hartid().

Alexandre Ghiti &lt;alexghiti@rivosinc.com&gt; says:

Those 2 patches fix the set_memory_XX() and set_direct_map_XX() APIs, which
in turn fix STRICT_KERNEL_RWX and memfd_secret(). Those were broken since the
permission changes were not applied to the linear mapping because the linear
mapping is mapped using hugepages and walk_page_range_novma() does not split
such mappings.

To fix that, patch 1 disables PGD mappings in the linear mapping as it is
hard to propagate changes at this level in *all* the page tables, this has the
downside of disabling PMD mapping for sv32 and PUD (1GB) mapping for sv39 in
the linear mapping (for specific kernels, we could add a Kconfig to enable
ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP and STRICT_KERNEL_RWX if needed, I'm pretty sure we'll
discuss that).

patch 2 implements the split of the huge linear mappings so that
walk_page_range_novma() can properly apply the permissions. The whole split is
protected with mmap_sem in write mode, but I'm wondering if that's enough,
any opinion on that is appreciated.

<id>311cd2f6e25380cff0abc2884dc6a3d33bc9b5c3</id>
<content type='text'>
When STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is set, any change of permissions on any kernel
mapping (vmalloc/modules/kernel text...etc) should be applied on its
linear mapping alias. The problem is that the riscv kernel uses huge
mappings for the linear mapping and walk_page_range_novma() does not
split those huge mappings.

So this patchset implements such split in order to apply fine-grained
permissions on the linear mapping.

Below is the difference before and after (the first PUD mapping is split
into PTE/PMD mappings):

Before:

---[ Linear mapping ]---
0xffffaf8000080000-0xffffaf8000200000    0x0000000080080000      1536K PTE     D A G . . W R V
0xffffaf8000200000-0xffffaf8077c00000    0x0000000080200000      1914M PMD     D A G . . W R V

When STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is set, any change of permissions on any kernel
mapping (vmalloc/modules/kernel text...etc) should be applied on its
linear mapping alias. The problem is that the riscv kernel uses huge
mappings for the linear mapping and walk_page_range_novma() does not
split those huge mappings.

So this patchset implements such split in order to apply fine-grained
permissions on the linear mapping.

Below is the difference before and after (the first PUD mapping is split
into PTE/PMD mappings):

And when the memfd_secret() fd is released, the linear mapping is
correctly reset:

Propagating changes at this level is cumbersome as we need to go through
all the page tables when that happens (either when changing the
permissions or when splitting the mapping).

Note that this prevents the use of 4MB mapping for sv32 and 1GB mapping for
sv39 in the linear mapping.
