There is a confusion on whether the values of a feature are signed or not in ARM. This is not clearly mentioned in the ARM ARM either. We have dealt most of the bits as signed so far, and marked the rest as unsigned explicitly. This fixed in ARM ARM and will be rolled out soon. Here is the criteria in a nutshell: 1) The fields, which are either signed or unsigned, use increasing numerical values to indicate an increase in functionality. Thus, if a value of 0x1 indicates the presence of some instructions, then the 0x2 value will indicate the presence of those instructions plus some additional instructions or functionality. 2) For ID field values where the value 0x0 defines that a feature is not present, the number is an unsigned value. 3) For some features where the feature was made optional or removed after the start of the definition of the architecture, the value 0x0 is used to indicate the presence of a feature, and 0xF indicates the absence of the feature. In these cases, the fields are, in effect, holding signed values. So with these rules applied, we have only the following fields which are signed and the rest are unsigned. a) ID_AA64PFR0_EL1: {FP, ASIMD} b) ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1: {TGran4K, TGran64K} c) ID_AA64DFR0_EL1: PMUVer (0xf - PMUv3 not implemented) d) ID_DFR0_EL1: PerfMon e) ID_MMFR0_EL1: {InnerShr, OuterShr} Signed-off-by: -

Adds a hook for checking whether a secondary CPU has the features used already by the kernel during early boot, based on the boot CPU and plugs in the check for ASID size. The ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1:ASIDBits determines the size of the mm context id and is used in the early boot to make decisions. The value is picked up from the Boot CPU and cannot be delayed until other CPUs are up. If a secondary CPU has a smaller size than that of the Boot CPU, things will break horribly and the usual SANITY check is not good enough to prevent the system from crashing. So, crash the system with enough information. Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Acked-by:

We verify the capabilities of the secondary CPUs only when hotplug is enabled. The boot time activated CPUs do not go through the verification by checking whether the system wide capabilities were initialised or not. This patch removes the capability check dependency on CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU, to make sure that all the secondary CPUs go through the check. The boot time activated CPUs will still skip the system wide capability check. The plan is to hook in a check for CPU features used by the kernel at early boot up, based on the Boot CPU values.

A secondary CPU could fail to come online due to insufficient capabilities and could simply die or loop in the kernel. e.g, a CPU with no support for the selected kernel PAGE_SIZE loops in kernel with MMU turned off. or a hotplugged CPU which doesn't have one of the advertised system capability will die during the activation. There is no way to synchronise the status of the failing CPU back to the master. This patch solves the issue by adding a field to the secondary_data which can be updated by the failing CPU. If the secondary CPU fails even before turning the MMU on, it updates the status in a special variable reserved in the head.txt section to make sure that the update can be cache invalidated safely without possible sharing of cache write back granule. Here are the possible states : -1. CPU_MMU_OFF - Initial value set by the master CPU, this value indicates that the CPU could not turn the MMU on, hence the status could not be reliably updated in the secondary_data. Instead, the CPU has updated the status @ __early_cpu_boot_status. 0. CPU_BOOT_SUCCESS - CPU has booted successfully. 1. CPU_KILL_ME - CPU has invoked cpu_ops->die, indicating the master CPU to synchronise by issuing a cpu_ops->cpu_kill. 2. CPU_STUCK_IN_KERNEL - CPU couldn't invoke die(), instead is looping in the kernel. This information could be used by say, kexec to check if it is really safe to do a kexec reboot. 3. CPU_PANIC_KERNEL - CPU detected some serious issues which requires kernel to crash immediately. The secondary CPU cannot call panic() until it has initialised the GIC. This flag can be used to instruct the master to do so. Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Acked-by:

Or in other words, make fail_incapable_cpu() reusable. We use fail_incapable_cpu() to kill a secondary CPU early during the bringup, which doesn't have the system advertised capabilities. This patch makes the routine more generic, to kill a secondary booting CPU, getting rid of the dependency on capability struct. This can be used by checks which are not necessarily attached to a capability struct (e.g, cpu ASIDBits). In that process, renames the function to cpu_die_early() to better match its functionality. This will be moved to arch/arm64/kernel/smp.c later. Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Acked-by:

Since arm64 does not use a decompressor that supplies an execution environment where it is feasible to some extent to provide a source of randomness, the arm64 KASLR kernel depends on the bootloader to supply some random bits in the /chosen/kaslr-seed DT property upon kernel entry. On UEFI systems, we can use the EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL, if supplied, to obtain some random bits. At the same time, use it to randomize the offset of the kernel Image in physical memory. Reviewed-by:

Before we can move the command line processing before the allocation of the kernel, which is required for detecting the 'nokaslr' option which controls that allocation, move the converted command line higher up in memory, to prevent it from interfering with the kernel itself. Since x86 needs the address to fit in 32 bits, use UINT_MAX as the upper bound there. Otherwise, use ULONG_MAX (i.e., no limit) Reviewed-by:

This implements efi_random_alloc(), which allocates a chunk of memory of a certain size at a certain alignment, and uses the random_seed argument it receives to randomize the address of the allocation. This is implemented by iterating over the UEFI memory map, counting the number of suitable slots (aligned offsets) within each region, and picking a random number between 0 and 'number of slots - 1' to select the slot, This should guarantee that each possible offset is chosen equally likely.

When KASLR is enabled (CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE=y), and entropy has been provided by the bootloader, randomize the placement of RAM inside the linear region if sufficient space is available. For instance, on a 4KB granule/3 levels kernel, the linear region is 256 GB in size, and we can choose any 1 GB aligned offset that is far enough from the top of the address space to fit the distance between the start of the lowest memblock and the top of the highest memblock.

This adds support for KASLR is implemented, based on entropy provided by the bootloader in the /chosen/kaslr-seed DT property. Depending on the size of the address space (VA_BITS) and the page size, the entropy in the virtual displacement is up to 13 bits (16k/2 levels) and up to 25 bits (all 4 levels), with the sidenote that displacements that result in the kernel image straddling a 1GB/32MB/512MB alignment boundary (for 4KB/16KB/64KB granule kernels, respectively) are not allowed, and will be rounded up to an acceptable value. If CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL is enabled, the module region is randomized independently from the core kernel. This makes it less likely that the location of core kernel data structures can be determined by an adversary, but causes all function calls from modules into the core kernel to be resolved via entries in the module PLTs. If CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL is not enabled, the module region is randomized by choosing a page aligned 128 MB region inside the interval [_etext - 128 MB, _stext + 128 MB). This gives between 10 and 14 bits of entropy (depending on page size), independently of the kernel randomization, but still guarantees that modules are within the range of relative branch and jump instructions (with the caveat that, since the module region is shared with other uses of the vmalloc area, modules may need to be loaded further away if the module region is exhausted) Signed-off-by:

Instead of using absolute addresses for both the exception location and the fixup, use offsets relative to the exception table entry values. Not only does this cut the size of the exception table in half, it is also a prerequisite for KASLR, since absolute exception table entries are subject to dynamic relocation, which is incompatible with the sorting of the exception table that occurs at build time. This patch also introduces the _ASM_EXTABLE preprocessor macro (which exists on x86 as well) and its _asm_extable assembly counterpart, as shorthands to emit exception table entries. Acked-by:

Before implementing KASLR for arm64 by building a self-relocating PIE executable, we have to ensure that values we use before the relocation routine is executed are not subject to dynamic relocation themselves. This applies not only to virtual addresses, but also to values that are supplied by the linker at build time and relocated using R_AARCH64_ABS64 relocations. So instead, use assemble time constants, or force the use of static relocations by folding the constants into the instructions. Reviewed-by:

Unfortunately, the current way of using the linker to emit build time constants into the Image header will no longer work once we switch to the use of PIE executables. The reason is that such constants are emitted into the binary using R_AARCH64_ABS64 relocations, which are resolved at runtime, not at build time, and the places targeted by those relocations will contain zeroes before that. So refactor the endian swapping linker script constant generation code so that it emits the upper and lower 32-bit words separately. Signed-off-by:

This adds support for emitting PLTs at module load time for relative branches that are out of range. This is a prerequisite for KASLR, which may place the kernel and the modules anywhere in the vmalloc area, making it more likely that branch target offsets exceed the maximum range of +/- 128 MB. In this version, I removed the distinction between relocations against .init executable sections and ordinary executable sections. The reason is that it is hardly worth the trouble, given that .init.text usually does not contain that many far branches, and this version now only reserves PLT entry space for jump and call relocations against undefined symbols (since symbols defined in the same module can be assumed to be within +/- 128 MB) For example, the mac80211.ko module (which is fairly sizable at ~400 KB) built with -mcmodel=large gives the following relocation counts: relocs branches unique !local .text 3925 3347 518 219 .init.text 11 8 7 1 .exit.text 4 4 4 1 .text.unlikely 81 67 36 17 ('unique' means branches to unique type/symbol/addend combos, of which !local is the subset referring to undefined symbols) IOW, we are only emitting a single PLT entry for the .init sections, and we are better off just adding it to the core PLT section instead.

Since PAGE_OFFSET is chosen such that it cuts the kernel VA space right in half, and since the size of the kernel VA space itself is always a power of 2, we can treat PAGE_OFFSET as a bitmask and replace the additions/subtractions with 'or' and 'and-not' operations. For the comparison against PAGE_OFFSET, a mov/cmp/branch sequence ends up getting replaced with a single tbz instruction. For the additions and subtractions, we save a mov instruction since the mask is folded into the instruction's immediate field. Signed-off-by:

This relaxes the kernel Image placement requirements, so that it may be placed at any 2 MB aligned offset in physical memory. This is accomplished by ignoring PHYS_OFFSET when installing memblocks, and accounting for the apparent virtual offset of the kernel Image. As a result, virtual address references below PAGE_OFFSET are correctly mapped onto physical references into the kernel Image regardless of where it sits in memory. Special care needs to be taken for dealing with memory limits passed via mem=, since the generic implementation clips memory top down, which may clip the kernel image itself if it is loaded high up in memory. To deal with this case, we simply add back the memory covering the kernel image, which may result in more memory to be retained than was passed as a mem= parameter. Since mem= should not be considered a production feature, a panic notifier handler is installed that dumps the memory limit at panic time if one was set. Signed-off-by:

Before deferring the assignment of memstart_addr in a subsequent patch, to the moment where all memory has been discovered and possibly clipped based on the size of the linear region and the presence of a mem= command line parameter, we need to ensure that memstart_addr is not used to perform __va translations before it is assigned. One such use is in the generic early DT discovery of the initrd location, which is recorded as a virtual address in the globals initrd_start and initrd_end. So wire up the generic support to declare the initrd addresses, and implement it without __va() translations, and perform the translation after memstart_addr has been assigned. Signed-off-by:

This moves the module area to right before the vmalloc area, and moves the kernel image to the base of the vmalloc area. This is an intermediate step towards implementing KASLR, which allows the kernel image to be located anywhere in the vmalloc area. Since other subsystems such as hibernate may still need to refer to the kernel text or data segments via their linears addresses, both are mapped in the linear region as well. The linear alias of the text region is mapped read-only/non-executable to prevent inadvertent modification or execution. Signed-off-by:

Since the early fixmap page tables are populated using pages that are part of the static footprint of the kernel, they are covered by the initial kernel mapping, and we can refer to them without using __va/__pa translations, which are tied to the linear mapping. Since the fixmap page tables are disjoint from the kernel mapping up to the top level pgd entry, we can refer to bm_pte[] directly, and there is no need to walk the page tables and perform __pa()/__va() translations at each step.
