The MIPS Coherence Manager (CM) can propagate address-based ("hit")
cache operations to other cores in the coherent system, alleviating
software of the need to use SMP calls, however indexed cache operations
are not propagated by hardware since doing so makes no sense for
separate caches.
Update r4k_op_needs_ipi() to report that only hit cache operations are
globalized by the CM, requiring indexed cache operations to be
globalized by software via an SMP call.
r4k_on_each_cpu() previously had a special case for CONFIG_MIPS_MT_SMP,
intended to avoid the SMP calls when the only other CPUs in the system
were other VPEs in the same core, and hence sharing the same caches.
This was changed by commit cccf34e941 ("MIPS: c-r4k: Fix cache
flushing for MT cores") to apparently handle multi-core multi-VPE
systems, but it focussed mainly on hit cache ops, so the SMP calls were
still disabled entirely for CM systems.
This doesn't normally cause problems, but tests can be written to hit
these corner cases by using multiple threads, or changing task
affinities to force the process to migrate cores. For example the
failure of mprotect RW->RX to globally sync icaches (via
flush_cache_range) can be detected by modifying and mprotecting a code
page on one core, and migrating to a different core to execute from it.

Avoid SMP calls for flushing small icache ranges. On non-CM platforms,
and CM platforms too after we make r4k_on_each_cpu() take the cache op
type into account, it will be called on multiple CPUs due to the
possibility that local_r4k_flush_icache_range_ipi() could do
non-globalized indexed cache ops. This rougly copies the range size
check out into r4k_flush_icache_range(), which can disallow indexed
cache ops and allow r4k_on_each_cpu() to skip the SMP call.

Split the operation of r4k_flush_kernel_vmap_range() into separate
SMP callbacks for the indexed cache flush and hit cache flush cases,
since the logic to determine which to use can be determined by the
initiating CPU prior to doing any SMP calls.
This will help when we change r4k_on_each_cpu() to distinguish indexed
and hit cache ops in a later patch, preventing globalized hit cache ops

When performing SMP calls to foreign cores, exclude sibling CPUs from
the provided map, as we already handle the local core on the current
CPU. This prevents an SMP call from for example core 0, VPE 1 to VPE 0
on the same core.
In the process the cpu_foreign_map cpumask is turned into an array of
cpumasks, so that each CPU has its own version of it which excludes
sibling CPUs. r4k_op_needs_ipi() is also updated to reflect that cache
management SMP calls are not needed when all CPUs are siblings (i.e.
there are no foreign CPUs according to the new cpu_foreign_map[]
semantics which exclude siblings).

Several cache operations are optimised to return early from the SMP call
handler if the memory map in question has no valid ASID on the current
CPU, or any online CPU in the case of MIPS_MT_SMP. The idea is that if a
memory map has never been used on a CPU it shouldn't have cache lines in
need of flushing.
However this doesn't cover all cases when ASIDs for other CPUs need to
be checked:
- Offline VPEs may have recently been online and brought lines into the
(shared) cache, so they should also be checked, rather than only
online CPUs.
- SMP systems with a Coherence Manager (CM), but with MT disabled still
have globalized hit cache ops, but don't use SMP calls, so all present
CPUs should be taken into account.
- R6 systems have a different multithreading implementation, so
MIPS_MT_SMP won't be set, but as above may still have a CM which
globalizes hit cache ops.
Additionally for non-globalized cache operations where an SMP call to a
single VPE in each foreign core is used, it is not necessary to check
every CPU in the system, only sibling CPUs sharing the same first level
cache.
Fix this by making has_valid_asid() take a cache op type argument like
r4k_on_each_cpu(), so it can determine whether r4k_on_each_cpu() will
have done SMP calls to other cores. It can then determine which set of
CPUs to check the ASIDs of based on that, excluding foreign CPUs if an
SMP call will have been performed.

The r4k_on_each_cpu() function calls the specified cache flush helper on
other CPUs if deemed necessary due to the cache ops not being
globalized by hardware. However this really depends on the cache op
addressing type, as the MIPS Coherence Manager (CM) if present will
globalize "hit" cache ops (addressed by virtual address), but not
"index" cache ops (addressed by cache index). This results in index
cache ops only being performed on a single CPU when CM is present.
Most (but not all) of the functions called by r4k_on_each_cpu() perform
cache operations exclusively with a single cache op type, so add a type
argument and modify the callers to pass in some combination of R4K_HIT
(global kernel virtual addressing or user virtual addressing
conditional upon matching active_mm) and R4K_INDEX (index into cache).
This will allow r4k_on_each_cpu() to later distinguish these cases and
decide whether to perform an SMP call based on it.

Fix r4k_flush_cache_sigtramp() and local_r4k_flush_cache_sigtramp() to
flush the delay slot emulation trampoline cacheline through a kmap
rather than directly when the active_mm doesn't match that of the task
initiating the flush, a bit like local_r4k_flush_cache_page() does.
This would fix a corner case on SMP systems without hardware globalized
hit cache ops, where a migration to another CPU after the flush, where
that CPU did not have the same mm active at the time of the flush, could
result in stale icache content being executed instead of the trampoline,
e.g. from a previous delay slot emulation with a similar stack pointer.
This case was artificially triggered by replacing the icache flush with
a full indexed flush (not globalized on CM systems) and forcing the SMP
call to take place, with a test program that alternated two FPU delay
slots with a parent process repeatedly changing scheduler affinity.

The SMP flush_tlb_*() functions may clear the memory map's ASIDs for
other CPUs if the mm has only a single user (the current CPU) in order
to avoid SMP calls. However this makes it appear to has_valid_asid(),
which is used by various cache flush functions, as if the CPUs have
never run in the mm, and therefore can't have cached any of its memory.
For flush_tlb_mm() this doesn't sound unreasonable.
flush_tlb_range() corresponds to flush_cache_range() which does do full
indexed cache flushes, but only on the icache if the specified mapping
is executable, otherwise it doesn't guarantee that there are no cache
contents left for the mm.
flush_tlb_page() corresponds to flush_cache_page(), which will perform
address based cache ops on the specified page only, and also only
touches the icache if the page is executable. It does not guarantee that
there are no cache contents left for the mm.
For example, this affects flush_cache_range() which uses the
has_valid_asid() optimisation. It is required to flush the icache when
mappings are made executable (e.g. using mprotect) so they are
immediately usable. If some code is changed to non executable in order
to be modified then it will not be flushed from the icache during that
time, but the ASID on other CPUs may still be cleared for TLB flushing.
When the code is changed back to executable, flush_cache_range() will
assume the code hasn't run on those other CPUs due to the zero ASID, and
won't invalidate the icache on them.
This is fixed by clearing the other CPUs ASIDs to 1 instead of 0 for the
above two flush_tlb_*() functions when the corresponding cache flushes
are likely to be incomplete (non executable range flush, or any page
flush). This ASID appears valid to has_valid_asid(), but still triggers
ASID regeneration due to the upper ASID version bits being 0, which is
less than the minimum ASID version of 1 and so always treated as stale.

uasm_in_compat_space_p() determines whether the given value is in the
32-bit compatibility part of the 64-bit address space, i.e. is in 32-bit
sign-extended form, however it only handles the top half of the value
space (corresponding to the kernel compatibility segments in the upper
half of the address space). Since values < 2^31 (corresponding to the
low 2GiB of the address space) can also be handled using 32-bit
instructions (e.g. a LUI and ADDIU) rather than convoluted 64-bit
immediate generation, rewrite it with a cast to check whether the
address matches its 32-bit sign extended form.
This allows UASM_i_LA to be used to generate arbitrary 32-bit immediates
more efficiently on 64-bit CPUs, i.e. more like the li (load immediate)
pseudo-instruction.
For example this code to load the immediate (ST0_EXL | KSU_USER |
ST0_BEV | ST0_KX) into k0 with UASM_i_LA():
lui k0,0x0
dsll k0,k0,0x10
daddiu k0,k0,64
dsll k0,k0,0x10

The Hardware page Table Walker (HTW) is being misconfigured on 64-bit
kernels. The PWSize.PS (pointer size) bit determines whether pointers
within directories are loaded as 32-bit or 64-bit addresses, but was
never being set to 1 for 64-bit kernels where the unsigned long in pgd_t
is 64-bits wide.
This actually reduces rather than improves performance when the HTW is
enabled on P6600 since the HTW is initiated lots, but walks are all
aborted due I think to bad intermediate pointers.
Since we were already taking the width of the PTEs into account by
setting PWSize.PTEW, which is the left shift applied to the page table
index *in addition to* the native pointer size, we also need to reduce
PTEW by 1 when PS=1. This is done by calculating PTEW based on the
relative size of pte_t compared to pgd_t.
Finally in order for the HTW to be used when PS=1, the appropriate
XK/XS/XU bits corresponding to the different 64-bit segments need to be
set in PWCtl. We enable only XU for now to enable walking for XUSeg.
Supporting walking for XKSeg would be a bit more involved so is left for
a future patch. It would either require the use of a per-CPU top level
base directory if supported by the HTW (a bit like pgd_current but with
a second entry pointing at swapper_pg_dir), or the HTW would prepend bit
63 of the address to the global directory index which doesn't really
match how we split user and kernel page directories.

I've just discovered that the useful-sounding has_transparent_hugepage()
is actually an architecture-dependent minefield: on some arches it only
builds if CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y, on others it's also there when
not, but on some of those (arm and arm64) it then gives the wrong
answer; and on mips alone it's marked __init, which would crash if
called later (but so far it has not been called later).
Straighten this out: make it available to all configs, with a sensible
default in asm-generic/pgtable.h, removing its definitions from those
arches (arc, arm, arm64, sparc, tile) which are served by the default,
adding #define has_transparent_hugepage has_transparent_hugepage to
those (mips, powerpc, s390, x86) which need to override the default at
runtime, and removing the __init from mips (but maybe that kind of code
should be avoided after init: set a static variable the first time it's
called).

For XPA kernels build_update_entries() uses $1 (at) as a scratch
register, but doesn't arrange for it to be preserved, so it will always
be clobbered by the TLB refill exception. Although this register
normally has a very short lifetime that doesn't cross memory accesses,
TLB refills due to instruction fetches (either on a page boundary or
after preemption) could clobber live data, and its easy to reproduce
the clobber with a little bit of assembler code.
Note that the use of a hardware page table walker will partly mask the
problem, as the TLB refill handler will not always be invoked.
This is fixed by avoiding the use of the extra scratch register. The
pte_high parts (going into the lower half of the EntryLo registers) are
loaded and manipulated separately so as to keep the PTE pointer around
for the other halves (instead of storing in the scratch register), and
the pte_low parts (going into the high half of the EntryLo registers)
are masked with 0x00ffffff using an ext instruction (instead of loading
0x00ffffff into the scratch register and AND'ing).

There are 2 distinct cases in which a kernel for a MIPS32 CPU
(CONFIG_CPU_MIPS32=y) may use 64 bit physical addresses
(CONFIG_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT=y):
- 36 bit physical addressing as used by RMI Alchemy & Netlogic XLP/XLR
CPUs.
- MIPS32r5 eXtended Physical Addressing (XPA).
These 2 cases are distinct in that they require different behaviour from
the kernel - the EntryLo registers have different formats. Until Linux
v4.1 we only supported the first case, with code conditional upon the 2
aforementioned Kconfig variables being set. Commit c5b367835c ("MIPS:
Add support for XPA.") added support for the second case, but did so by
modifying the code that existed for the first case rather than treating
the 2 cases as distinct. Since the EntryLo registers have different
formats this breaks the 36 bit Alchemy/XLP/XLR case. Fix this by
splitting the 2 cases, with XPA cases now being conditional upon
CONFIG_XPA and the non-XPA case matching the code as it existed prior to

Ever since support for RI/XI was implemented by commit 6dd9344cfc
("MIPS: Implement Read Inhibit/eXecute Inhibit") we've had a mixture of
_PAGE_READ & _PAGE_NO_READ bits. Rather than keep both around, switch
away from using _PAGE_READ to determine page presence & instead invert
the use to _PAGE_NO_READ. Wherever we formerly had no definition for
_PAGE_NO_READ, change what was _PAGE_READ to _PAGE_NO_READ. The end
result is that we consistently use _PAGE_NO_READ to determine whether a
page is readable, regardless of whether RI/XI is implemented.

The hardware page table walker (HTW) configuration is broken on XPA
kernels where XPA couldn't be enabled (either nohtw or the hardware
doesn't support it). This is because the PWSize.PTEW field (PTE width)
was only set to 8 bytes (an extra shift of 1) in config_htw_params() if
PageGrain.ELPA (enable large physical addressing) is set. On an XPA
kernel though the size of PTEs is fixed at 8 bytes regardless of whether
XPA could actually be enabled.
Fix the initialisation of this field based on sizeof(pte_t) instead.

In preparation for supporting variable ASID masks, retrieve ASID masks
using functions in asm/cpu-info.h which accept struct cpuinfo_mips. This
will allow those functions to determine the ASID mask based upon the CPU
in a later patch. This also allows for the r3k & r8k cases to be handled
in Kconfig, which is arguably cleaner than the previous #ifdefs.

New Loongson 3 CPU (since Loongson-3A R2, as opposed to Loongson-3A R1,
Loongson-3B R1 and Loongson-3B R2) has many enhancements, such as FTLB,
L1-VCache, EI/DI/Wait/Prefetch instruction, DSP/DSPv2 ASE, User Local
register, Read-Inhibit/Execute-Inhibit, SFB (Store Fill Buffer), Fast
TLB refill support, etc.
This patch introduce a config option, CONFIG_LOONGSON3_ENHANCEMENT, to
enable those enhancements which are not probed at run time. If you want
a generic kernel to run on all Loongson 3 machines, please say 'N'
here. If you want a high-performance kernel to run on new Loongson 3
machines only, please say 'Y' here.
Some additional explanations:
1) SFB locates between core and L1 cache, it causes memory access out
of order, so writel/outl (and other similar functions) need a I/O
reorder barrier.
2) Loongson 3 has a bug that di instruction can not save the irqflag,
so arch_local_irq_save() is modified. Since CPU_MIPSR2 is selected
by CONFIG_LOONGSON3_ENHANCEMENT, generic kernel doesn't use ei/di
at all.
3) CPU_HAS_PREFETCH is selected by CONFIG_LOONGSON3_ENHANCEMENT, so
MIPS_CPU_PREFETCH (used by uasm) probing is also put in this patch.

Loongson-2 has a 4 entry itlb which is a subset of jtlb, Loongson-3 has
a 4 entry itlb and a 4 entry dtlb which are subsets of jtlb. We should
write diag register to invalidate itlb/dtlb when flushing jtlb because
itlb/dtlb are not totally transparent to software.
For Loongson-3A R2 (and newer), we should invalidate ITLB, DTLB, VTLB
and FTLB before we enable/disable FTLB.

Loongson-3 maintains cache coherency by hardware, this means:
1) It's icache is coherent with dcache.
2) It's dcaches don't alias (maybe depend on PAGE_SIZE).
3) It maintains cache coherency across cores (and for DMA).
So we can skip most cache flush operations by setting relevant handlers
to `cache_noop' in `r4k_cache_init'.

It's possible for pages to become visible prior to update_mmu_cache
running if a thread within the same address space preempts the current
thread or runs simultaneously on another CPU. That is, the following
scenario is possible:
CPU0 CPU1
write to page
flush_dcache_page
flush_icache_page
set_pte_at
map page
update_mmu_cache
If CPU1 maps the page in between CPU0's set_pte_at, which marks it valid
& visible, and update_mmu_cache where the dcache flush occurs then CPU1s
icache will fill from stale data (unless it fills from the dcache, in
which case all is good, but most MIPS CPUs don't have this property).
Commit 4d46a67a3e ("MIPS: Fix race condition in lazy cache flushing.")
attempted to fix that by performing the dcache flush in
flush_icache_page such that it occurs before the set_pte_at call makes
the page visible. However it has the problem that not all code that
writes to pages exposed to userland call flush_icache_page. There are
many callers of set_pte_at under mm/ and only 2 of them do call
flush_icache_page. Thus the race window between a page becoming visible
& being coherent between the icache & dcache remains open in some cases.
To illustrate some of the cases, a WARN was added to __update_cache with
this patch applied that triggered in cases where a page about to be
flushed from the dcache was not the last page provided to
flush_icache_page. That is, backtraces were obtained for cases in which
the race window is left open without this patch. The 2 standout examples
follow.
When forking a process:
[ 15.271842] [<80417630>] __update_cache+0xcc/0x188
[ 15.277274] [<80530394>] copy_page_range+0x56c/0x6ac
[ 15.282861] [<8042936c>] copy_process.part.54+0xd40/0x17ac

[ 15.293747] [<80413808>] handle_sys+0x128/0x14c
When exec'ing an ELF binary:
[ 14.445964] [<80417630>] __update_cache+0xcc/0x188
[ 14.451369] [<80538d88>] move_page_tables+0x414/0x498
[ 14.457075] [<8055d848>] setup_arg_pages+0x220/0x318

[ 14.485137] [<80413808>] handle_sys+0x128/0x14c
These code paths write into a page, call flush_dcache_page then call
set_pte_at without flush_icache_page inbetween. The end result is that
the icache can become corrupted & userland processes may execute
unexpected or invalid code, typically resulting in a reserved
instruction exception, a trap or a segfault.
Fix this race condition fully by performing any cache maintenance
required to keep the icache & dcache in sync in set_pte_at, before the
page is made valid. This has the added bonus of ensuring the cache
maintenance always happens in one location, rather than being duplicated
in flush_icache_page & update_mmu_cache. It also matches the way other
architectures solve the same problem (see arm, ia64 & powerpc).

The following patch will expose __update_cache to highmem pages. Handle
them by mapping them in for the duration of the cache maintenance, just
like in __flush_dcache_page. The code for that isn't shared because we
need the page address in __update_cache so sharing became messy. Given
that the entirity is an extra 5 lines, just duplicate it.

When flush_dcache_page is called on an executable page, that page is
about to be provided to userland & we can presume that the icache
contains no valid entries for its address range. However if the icache
does not fill from the dcache then we cannot presume that the pages
content has been written back as far as the memories that the dcache
will fill from (ie. L2 or further out).
This was being done for lowmem pages, but not for highmem which can lead
to icache corruption. Fix this by mapping highmem pages & flushing their
content from the dcache in __flush_dcache_page before providing the page
to userland, just as is done for lowmem pages.

It is still necessary to handle icache coherency in flush_cache_range()
and copy_to_user_page() when the icache fills from the dcache, even
though the dcache does not need to be written back. However when this
handling was added in commit 2eaa7ec286 ("[MIPS] Handle I-cache
coherency in flush_cache_range()"), it did not do any icache flushing
when it fills from dcache.
Therefore fix r4k_flush_cache_range() to run
local_r4k_flush_cache_range() without taking into account whether icache
fills from dcache, so that the icache coherency gets handled. Checks are
also added in local_r4k_flush_cache_range() so that the dcache blast
doesn't take place when icache fills from dcache.
A test to mmap a page PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, modify code in it, and
mprotect it to VM_READ|VM_EXEC (similar to case described in above
commit) can hit this case quite easily to verify the fix.
A similar check was added in commit f8829caee3 ("[MIPS] Fix aliasing
bug in copy_to_user_page / copy_from_user_page"), so also fix
copy_to_user_page() similarly, to call flush_cache_page() without taking
into account whether icache fills from dcache, since flush_cache_page()
already takes that into account to avoid performing a dcache flush.

Pull x86 protection key support from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds support for a new memory protection hardware feature
that is available in upcoming Intel CPUs: 'protection keys' (pkeys).
There's a background article at LWN.net:
https://lwn.net/Articles/643797/
The gist is that protection keys allow the encoding of
user-controllable permission masks in the pte. So instead of having a
fixed protection mask in the pte (which needs a system call to change
and works on a per page basis), the user can map a (handful of)
protection mask variants and can change the masks runtime relatively
cheaply, without having to change every single page in the affected
virtual memory range.
This allows the dynamic switching of the protection bits of large
amounts of virtual memory, via user-space instructions. It also
allows more precise control of MMU permission bits: for example the
executable bit is separate from the read bit (see more about that
below).
This tree adds the MM infrastructure and low level x86 glue needed for
that, plus it adds a high level API to make use of protection keys -
if a user-space application calls:
mmap(..., PROT_EXEC);
or
mprotect(ptr, sz, PROT_EXEC);
(note PROT_EXEC-only, without PROT_READ/WRITE), the kernel will notice
this special case, and will set a special protection key on this
memory range. It also sets the appropriate bits in the Protection
Keys User Rights (PKRU) register so that the memory becomes unreadable
and unwritable.
So using protection keys the kernel is able to implement 'true'
PROT_EXEC on x86 CPUs: without protection keys PROT_EXEC implies
PROT_READ as well. Unreadable executable mappings have security
advantages: they cannot be read via information leaks to figure out
ASLR details, nor can they be scanned for ROP gadgets - and they
cannot be used by exploits for data purposes either.
We know about no user-space code that relies on pure PROT_EXEC
mappings today, but binary loaders could start making use of this new
feature to map binaries and libraries in a more secure fashion.
There is other pending pkeys work that offers more high level system
call APIs to manage protection keys - but those are not part of this
pull request.
Right now there's a Kconfig that controls this feature
(CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS) that is default enabled
(like most x86 CPU feature enablement code that has no runtime
overhead), but it's not user-configurable at the moment. If there's
any serious problem with this then we can make it configurable and/or
flip the default"

The success of CMA allocation largely depends on the success of
migration and key factor of it is page reference count. Until now, page
reference is manipulated by direct calling atomic functions so we cannot
follow up who and where manipulate it. Then, it is hard to find actual
reason of CMA allocation failure. CMA allocation should be guaranteed
to succeed so finding offending place is really important.
In this patch, call sites where page reference is manipulated are
converted to introduced wrapper function. This is preparation step to
add tracepoint to each page reference manipulation function. With this
facility, we can easily find reason of CMA allocation failure. There is
no functional change in this patch.
In addition, this patch also converts reference read sites. It will
help a second step that renames page._count to something else and
prevents later attempt to direct access to it (Suggested by Andrew).
