On Qualcomm Datacenter Technologies QDF2400 SoCs, the ITS hardware
implementation uses 16Bytes for Interrupt Translation Entry (ITE),
but reports an incorrect value of 8Bytes in GITS_TYPER.ITTE_size.
It might cause kernel memory corruption depending on the number
of MSI(x) that are configured and the amount of memory that has
been allocated for ITEs in its_create_device().
This patch fixes the potential memory corruption by setting the
correct ITE size to 16Bytes.

The Qualcomm Datacenter Technologies Falkor v1 CPU may allocate TLB entries
using an incorrect ASID when TTBRx_EL1 is being updated. When the erratum
is triggered, page table entries using the new translation table base
address (BADDR) will be allocated into the TLB using the old ASID. All
circumstances leading to the incorrect ASID being cached in the TLB arise
when software writes TTBRx_EL1[ASID] and TTBRx_EL1[BADDR], a memory
operation is in the process of performing a translation using the specific
TTBRx_EL1 being written, and the memory operation uses a translation table
descriptor designated as non-global. EL2 and EL3 code changing the EL1&0
ASID is not subject to this erratum because hardware is prohibited from
performing translations from an out-of-context translation regime.
Consider the following pseudo code.
write new BADDR and ASID values to TTBRx_EL1
Replacing the above sequence with the one below will ensure that no TLB
entries with an incorrect ASID are used by software.
write reserved value to TTBRx_EL1[ASID]
ISB
write new value to TTBRx_EL1[BADDR]
ISB
write new value to TTBRx_EL1[ASID]
ISB
When the above sequence is used, page table entries using the new BADDR
value may still be incorrectly allocated into the TLB using the reserved
ASID. Yet this will not reduce functionality, since TLB entries incorrectly
tagged with the reserved ASID will never be hit by a later instruction.

During a TLB invalidate sequence targeting the inner shareable domain,
Falkor may prematurely complete the DSB before all loads and stores using
the old translation are observed. Instruction fetches are not subject to
the conditions of this erratum. If the original code sequence includes
multiple TLB invalidate instructions followed by a single DSB, onle one of
the TLB instructions needs to be repeated to work around this erratum.
While the erratum only applies to cases in which the TLBI specifies the
inner-shareable domain (*IS form of TLBI) and the DSB is ISH form or
stronger (OSH, SYS), this changes applies the workaround overabundantly--
to local TLBI, DSB NSH sequences as well--for simplicity.

Erratum A-008585 says that the ARM generic timer counter "has the
potential to contain an erroneous value for a small number of core
clock cycles every time the timer value changes". Accesses to TVAL
(both read and write) are also affected due to the implicit counter
read. Accesses to CVAL are not affected.
The workaround is to reread TVAL and count registers until successive
reads return the same value. Writes to TVAL are replaced with an
equivalent write to CVAL.
The workaround is to reread TVAL and count registers until successive reads
return the same value, and when writing TVAL to retry until counter
reads before and after the write return the same value.
The workaround is enabled if the fsl,erratum-a008585 property is found in
the timer node in the device tree. This can be overridden with the
clocksource.arm_arch_timer.fsl-a008585 boot parameter, which allows KVM
users to enable the workaround until a mechanism is implemented to
automatically communicate this information.
This erratum can be found on LS1043A and LS2080A.

The ACPI 6.1 specification was recently released at the end of January
2016, but the arm64 kernel documentation for the use of ACPI was written
for the 5.1 version of the spec. There were significant additions to the
spec that had not yet been mentioned -- for example, the 6.0 mechanisms
added to make it easier to define processors and low power idle states,
as well as the 6.1 addition allowing regular interrupts (not just from
GPIO) be used to signal ACPI general purpose events.
This patch reflects going back through and examining the specs in detail
and updating content appropriately. Whilst there, a few odds and ends of
typos were caught as well. This brings the documentation up to date with
ACPI 6.1 for arm64.

Instead of going out of our way to relocate the initrd if it turns out
to occupy memory that is not covered by the linear mapping, just add the
initrd to the linear mapping. This puts the burden on the bootloader to
pass initrd= and mem= options that are mutually consistent.
Note that, since the placement of the linear region in the PA space is
also dependent on the placement of the kernel Image, which may reside
anywhere in memory, we may still end up with a situation where the initrd
and the kernel Image are simply too far apart to be covered by the linear
region.
Since we now leave it up to the bootloader to pass the initrd in memory
that is guaranteed to be accessible by the kernel, add a mention of this to
the arm64 boot protocol specification as well.

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.

Currently, the FDT blob needs to be in the same 512 MB region as
the kernel, so that it can be mapped into the kernel virtual memory
space very early on using a minimal set of statically allocated
translation tables.
Now that we have early fixmap support, we can relax this restriction,
by moving the permanent FDT mapping to the fixmap region instead.
This way, the FDT blob may be anywhere in memory.
This also moves the vetting of the FDT to mmu.c, since the early
init code in head.S does not handle mapping of the FDT anymore.
At the same time, fix up some comments in head.S that have gone stale.

Emulate deprecated 'setend' instruction for AArch32 bit tasks.
setend [le/be] - Sets the endianness of EL0
On systems with CPUs which support mixed endian at EL0, the hardware
support for the instruction can be enabled by setting the SCTLR_EL1.SED
bit. Like the other emulated instructions it is controlled by an entry in
/proc/sys/abi/. For more information see :
Documentation/arm64/legacy_instructions.txt
The instruction is emulated by setting/clearing the SPSR_EL1.E bit, which
will be reflected in the PSTATE.E in AArch32 context.
This patch also restores the native endianness for the execution of signal
handlers, since the process could have changed the endianness.
Note: All CPUs on the system must have mixed endian support at EL0. Once the
handler is registered, hotplugging a CPU which doesn't support mixed endian,
could lead to unexpected results/behavior in applications.

Typically, providing support for legacy instructions requires
emulating the behaviour of instructions whose encodings have become
undefined. If the instructions haven't been removed from the
architecture, there maybe an option in the implementation to turn
on/off the support for these instructions.
Create common infrastructure to support legacy instruction
emulation. In addition to emulation, also provide an option to support
hardware execution when supported. The default execution mode (one of
undef, emulate, hw exeuction) is dependent on the state of the
instruction (deprecated or obsolete) in the architecture and
can specified at the time of registering the instruction handlers. The
runtime state of the emulation can be controlled by writing to
individual nodes in sysctl. The expected default behaviour is
documented as part of this patch.

Currently the kernel Image is stripped of everything past the initial
stack, and at runtime the memory is initialised and used by the kernel.
This makes the effective minimum memory footprint of the kernel larger
than the size of the loaded binary, though bootloaders have no mechanism
to identify how large this minimum memory footprint is. This makes it
difficult to choose safe locations to place both the kernel and other
binaries required at boot (DTB, initrd, etc), such that the kernel won't
clobber said binaries or other reserved memory during initialisation.
Additionally when big endian support was added the image load offset was
overlooked, and is currently of an arbitrary endianness, which makes it
difficult for bootloaders to make use of it. It seems that bootloaders
aren't respecting the image load offset at present anyway, and are
assuming that offset 0x80000 will always be correct.
This patch adds an effective image size to the kernel header which
describes the amount of memory from the start of the kernel Image binary
which the kernel expects to use before detecting memory and handling any
memory reservations. This can be used by bootloaders to choose suitable
locations to load the kernel and/or other binaries such that the kernel
will not clobber any memory unexpectedly. As before, memory reservations
are required to prevent the kernel from clobbering these locations
later.
Both the image load offset and the effective image size are forced to be
little-endian regardless of the native endianness of the kernel to
enable bootloaders to load a kernel of arbitrary endianness. Bootloaders
which wish to make use of the load offset can inspect the effective
image size field for a non-zero value to determine if the offset is of a
known endianness. To enable software to determine the endinanness of the
kernel as may be required for certain use-cases, a new flags field (also
little-endian) is added to the kernel header to export this information.
The documentation is updated to clarify these details. To discourage
future assumptions regarding the value of text_offset, the value at this
point in time is removed from the main flow of the documentation (though
kept as a compatibility note). Some minor formatting issues in the
documentation are also corrected.

The mapping of the earlyprintk device is done very early during kernel

special early_io_map() function is added which creates the mapping from
the pre-defined EARLY_IOBASE to the device I/O address passed via the
kernel parameter. The pgd entry corresponding to EARLY_IOBASE is
pre-populated in head.S during kernel boot.
Only PL011 is currently supported and it is assumed that the interface

The virtual memory layout is described in

the 4KB and 64KB translation table configurations. The SECTION_SIZE is
2MB with 4KB page and 512MB with 64KB page configuration.
PHYS_OFFSET is calculated at run-time and stored in a variable (no
run-time code patching at this stage).
On the current implementation, both user and kernel address spaces are
512G (39-bit) each with a maximum of 256G for the RAM linear mapping.
Linux uses 3 levels of translation tables with the 4K page configuration
and 2 levels with the 64K configuration. Extending the memory space
beyond 39-bit with the 4K pages or 42-bit with 64K pages requires an
additional level of translation tables.
