<id>35727af2b15d98a2dd2811d631d3a3886111312e</id>
<content type='text'>
The T241 platform suffers from the T241-FABRIC-4 erratum which causes
unexpected behavior in the GIC when multiple transactions are received
simultaneously from different sources. This hardware issue impacts
NVIDIA server platforms that use more than two T241 chips
interconnected. Each chip has support for 320 {E}SPIs.

This issue occurs when multiple packets from different GICs are
incorrectly interleaved at the target chip. The erratum text below
specifies exactly what can cause multiple transfer packets susceptible
to interleaving and GIC state corruption. GIC state corruption can
lead to a range of problems, including kernel panics, and unexpected
behavior.

&gt;From the erratum text:
  "In some cases, inter-socket AXI4 Stream packets with multiple
  transfers, may be interleaved by the fabric when presented to ARM
  Generic Interrupt Controller. GIC expects all transfers of a packet
  to be delivered without any interleaving.

  The following GICv3 commands may result in multiple transfer packets
  over inter-socket AXI4 Stream interface:
   - Register reads from GICD_I* and GICD_N*
   - Register writes to 64-bit GICD registers other than GICD_IROUTERn*
   - ITS command MOVALL

  Multiple commands in GICv4+ utilize multiple transfer packets,
  including VMOVP, VMOVI, VMAPP, and 64-bit register accesses."

  This issue impacts system configurations with more than 2 sockets,
  that require multi-transfer packets to be sent over inter-socket
  AXI4 Stream interface between GIC instances on different sockets.
  GICv4 cannot be supported. GICv3 SW model can only be supported
  with the workaround. Single and Dual socket configurations are not
  impacted by this issue and support GICv3 and GICv4."

Writing to the chip alias region of the GICD_In{E} registers except
GICD_ICENABLERn has an equivalent effect as writing to the global
distributor. The SPI interrupt deactivate path is not impacted by
the erratum.

To fix this problem, implement a workaround that ensures read accesses
to the GICD_In{E} registers are directed to the chip that owns the
SPI, and disable GICv4.x features. To simplify code changes, the
gic_configure_irq() function uses the same alias region for both read
and write operations to GICD_ICFGR.

Some CPUs affected by Spectre-BHB need a sequence of branches, or a
firmware call to be run before any indirect branch. This needs to go
in the vectors. No CPU needs both.

While this can be patched in, it would run on all CPUs as there is a
single set of vectors. If only one part of a big/little combination is
affected, the unaffected CPUs have to run the mitigation too.

Create extra vectors that include the sequence. Subsequent patches will
allow affected CPUs to select this set of vectors. Later patches will
modify the loop count to match what the CPU requires.

Now that SCM can be a loadable module, we have to add another
dependency to avoid link failures when ipa or adreno-gpu are
built-in:

aarch64-linux-ld: drivers/net/ipa/ipa_main.o: in function `ipa_probe':
ipa_main.c:(.text+0xfc4): undefined reference to `qcom_scm_is_available'

ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: qcom_scm_is_available
&gt;&gt;&gt; referenced by adreno_gpu.c
&gt;&gt;&gt;               gpu/drm/msm/adreno/adreno_gpu.o:(adreno_zap_shader_load) in archive drivers/built-in.a

This can happen when CONFIG_ARCH_QCOM is disabled and we don't select
QCOM_MDT_LOADER, but some other module selects QCOM_SCM. Ideally we'd
use a similar dependency here to what we have for QCOM_RPROC_COMMON,
but that causes dependency loops from other things selecting QCOM_SCM.

This appears to be an endless problem, so try something different this
time:

 - CONFIG_QCOM_SCM becomes a hidden symbol that nothing 'depends on'
   but that is simply selected by all of its users

 - All the stubs in include/linux/qcom_scm.h can go away

 - arm-smccc.h needs to provide a stub for __arm_smccc_smc() to
   allow compile-testing QCOM_SCM on all architectures.

 - To avoid a circular dependency chain involving RESET_CONTROLLER
   and PINCTRL_SUNXI, drop the 'select RESET_CONTROLLER' statement.
   According to my testing this still builds fine, and the QCOM
   platform selects this symbol already.

<title>arm64: smccc: Support SMCCC v1.3 SVE register saving hint</title>

SMCCC v1.2 requires that all SVE state be preserved over SMC calls which
introduces substantial overhead in the common case where there is no SVE
state in the registers. To avoid this SMCCC v1.3 introduces a flag which
allows the caller to say that there is no state that needs to be preserved
in the registers. Make use of this flag, setting it if the SMCCC version
indicates support for it and the TIF_ flags indicate that there is no live
SVE state in the registers, this avoids placing any constraints on when
SMCCC calls can be done or triggering extra saving and reloading of SVE
register state in the kernel.

This would be straightforward enough except for the rather entertaining
inline assembly we use to do SMCCC v1.1 calls to allow us to take advantage
of the limited number of registers it clobbers. Deal with this by having a
function which we call immediately before issuing the SMCCC call to make
our checks and set the flag. Using alternatives the overhead if SVE is
supported but not detected at runtime can be reduced to a single NOP.

SMCCC v1.2 allows x8-x17 to be used as parameter registers and x4—x17
to be used as result registers in SMC64/HVC64. Arm Firmware Framework
for Armv8-A specification makes use of x0-x7 as parameter and result
registers. There are other users like Hyper-V who intend to use beyond
x0-x7 as well.

Current SMCCC interface in the kernel just use x0-x7 as parameter and
x0-x3 as result registers as required by SMCCCv1.0. Let us add new
interface to support this extended set of input/output registers namely
x0-x17 as both parameter and result registers.

Although the SMCCC specification provides some limited functionality for
describing the presence of hypervisor and firmware services, this is
generally applicable only to functions designated as "Arm Architecture
Service Functions" and no portable discovery mechanism is provided for
standard hypervisor services, despite having a designated range of
function identifiers reserved by the specification.

In an attempt to avoid the need for additional firmware changes every
time a new function is added, introduce a UID to identify the service
provider as being compatible with KVM. Once this has been established,
additional services can be discovered via a feature bitmap.

The ARM architected TRNG firmware interface, described in ARM spec
DEN0098, define an ARM SMCCC based interface to a true random number
generator, provided by firmware.

Add the definitions of the SMCCC functions as defined by the spec.

<title>KVM: arm64: ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 doesn't return SMCCC_RET_NOT_REQUIRED</title>

According to the SMCCC spec[1](7.5.2 Discovery) the
ARM_SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 function id only returns 0, 1, and
SMCCC_RET_NOT_SUPPORTED.

 0 is "workaround required and safe to call this function"
 1 is "workaround not required but safe to call this function"
 SMCCC_RET_NOT_SUPPORTED is "might be vulnerable or might not be, who knows, I give up!"

SMCCC_RET_NOT_SUPPORTED might as well mean "workaround required, except
calling this function may not work because it isn't implemented in some
cases". Wonderful. We map this SMC call to

 0 is SPECTRE_MITIGATED
 1 is SPECTRE_UNAFFECTED
 SMCCC_RET_NOT_SUPPORTED is SPECTRE_VULNERABLE

For KVM hypercalls (hvc), we've implemented this function id to return
SMCCC_RET_NOT_SUPPORTED, 0, and SMCCC_RET_NOT_REQUIRED. One of those
isn't supposed to be there. Per the code we call
arm64_get_spectre_v2_state() to figure out what to return for this
feature discovery call.

 0 is SPECTRE_MITIGATED
 SMCCC_RET_NOT_REQUIRED is SPECTRE_UNAFFECTED
 SMCCC_RET_NOT_SUPPORTED is SPECTRE_VULNERABLE

Let's clean this up so that KVM tells the guest this mapping:

 0 is SPECTRE_MITIGATED
 1 is SPECTRE_UNAFFECTED
 SMCCC_RET_NOT_SUPPORTED is SPECTRE_VULNERABLE

Note: SMCCC_RET_NOT_AFFECTED is 1 but isn't part of the SMCCC spec

<title>smccc: Use separate variables for args and results</title>

Using the same register-bound variable for both arguments and results
means these values share a type. That type must allow the arguments to
be assigned to it and must also be assignable to the unsigned long
fields of struct arm_smccc_res.

This restriction on types causes compiler warnings when the argument
cannot be implicitly assigned to an unsigned long, for example the
pointers that are used in the KVM hyp interface.

By separating the arguments and results into their own variables, the
type constraint is lifted allowing the arguments to avoid the need for
any type conversion.
