In big.Little systems, some CPUs require the Spectre workarounds in
paths such as the context switch, but other CPUs do not. In order
to handle these differences, we need per-CPU vtables.
We are unable to use the kernel's per-CPU variables to support this
as per-CPU is not initialised at times when we need access to the
vtables, so we have to use an array indexed by logical CPU number.
We use an array-of-pointers to avoid having function pointers in
the kernel's read/write .data section.

Due to what appears to be a copy/paste error, the opening ENTRY()

the one for cpu_v7_smc_switch_mm() is duplicated.
Given that it is ENDPROC() that emits the Thumb annotation, the

This patch adds support for the Broadcom Brahma-B15 CPU readahead cache
controller. This cache controller sits between the L2 and the memory bus
and its purpose is to provide a friendler burst size towards the DDR
interface than the native cache line size.
The readahead cache is mostly transparent, except for
flush_kern_cache_all, which is precisely what we are overriding here.
The readahead cache only intercepts reads, and does invalidate on
writes (IOW), as such, some data can remain stale in any of its buffers, such
that we need to flush it, which is an operation that needs to happen in
a particular order:
- disable the readahead cache
- flush it
- call the appropriate cache-v7.S function
- re-enable
This patch tries to minimize the impact to the cache-v7.S file by only
providing a stub in case CONFIG_CACHE_B15_RAC is enabled (default for
ARCH_BRCMSTB since it is the current user).

Currently, for ARM kernels with CONFIG_ARM_LPAE and

a software bit (L_PMD_SECT_RDONLY) but the hardware read-only bit
is not set (PMD_SECT_AP2).
For user mappings, the logic that propagates the software bit
to the hardware bit is in set_pmd_at(); but for the kernel,
section_update() writes the PMDs directly, skipping this logic.
The fix is to set PMD_SECT_AP2 for read-only sections in
section_update(), at the same time as L_PMD_SECT_RDONLY.

When CONFIG_ARM_LPAE is set, the PMD dump relies on the software
read-only bit to determine whether a page is writable. This
concealed a bug which left the kernel text section writable
(AP2=0) while marked read-only in the software bit.
In a kernel with the AP2 bug, the dump looks like this:

This appears to be harmless, as we know that there is always at
least one memblock, and the only way this could get triggered is
if the for_each_memblock() loop was never entered.
I could not come up with a better workaround than initializing
the specified_mem_size to zero, but at least that is the value
that the variable would have in the hypothetical case of no

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Currently, there is assumption in early MPU setup code that kernel
image is located in RAM, which is obviously not true for XIP. To run
code from ROM we need to make sure that it is covered by MPU. However,
due to we allocate regions (semi-)dynamically we can run into issue of
trimming region we are running from in case ROM spawns several MPU
regions. To help deal with that we enforce minimum alignments for start
end end of XIP address space as 1MB and 128Kb correspondingly.

PMSAv7 defines curious alignment requirements to the regions:
- size must be power of 2, and
- region start must be aligned to the region size
Because of that we currently adjust lowmem bounds plus we assign
only one MPU region to cover memory all these lead to significant amount of
memory could be wasted. As an example, consider 64Mb of memory at
0x70000000 - it fits alignment requirements nicely; now, imagine that
2Mb of memory is reserved for coherent DMA allocation, so now Linux is
expected to see 62Mb of memory... and here annoying thing happens -
memory gets truncated to 32Mb (we've lost 30Mb!), i.e. MPU layout
looks like:
0: base 0x70000000, size 0x2000000
This patch tries to allocate as much as possible MPU slots to minimise
amount of truncated memory. Moreover, with this patch MPU subregions
starting to get used. MPU subregions allow us reduce the number of MPU
slots used. For example given above, MPU layout looks like:
0: base 0x70000000, size 0x2000000
1: base 0x72000000, size 0x1000000
2: base 0x73000000, size 0x1000000, disable subreg 7 (0x73e00000 - 0x73ffffff)
Where without subregions we'd get:
0: base 0x70000000, size 0x2000000
1: base 0x72000000, size 0x1000000
2: base 0x73000000, size 0x800000
3: base 0x73800000, size 0x400000
4: base 0x73c00000, size 0x200000
To achieve better layout we fist try to cover specified memory as is
(maybe with help of subregions) and if we failed, we truncate memory
to fit alignment requirements (so it occupies one MPU slot) and
perform one more attempt with the reminder, and so on till we either
cover all memory or run out of MPU slots.

Currently, there are several issues with how MPU is setup:
1. We won't boot if MPU is missing
2. We won't boot if use XIP
3. Further extension of MPU setup requires asm skills
The 1st point can be relaxed, so we can continue with boot CPU even if
MPU is missed and fail boot for secondaries only. To address the 2nd
point we could create region covering CONFIG_XIP_PHYS_ADDR - _end and
that might work for the first stage of MPU enable, but due to MPU's
alignment requirement we could cover too much, IOW we need more
flexibility in how we're partitioning memory regions... and it'd be
hardly possible to archive because of the 3rd point.
This patch is trying to address 1st and 3rd issues and paves the path
for 2nd and further improvements.
The most visible change introduced with this patch is that we start
using mpu_rgn_info array (as it was supposed?), so change in MPU setup
done by boot CPU is recorded there and feed to secondaries. It
allows us to keep minimal region setup for boot CPU and do the rest in
C. Since we start programming MPU regions in C evaluation of MPU
constrains (number of regions supported and minimal region order) can
be done once, which in turn open possibility to free-up "probe"
region early.

Currently, inline assembly for accessing to MPU's cp15 lacks volatile
keyword which opens possibility to compiler to optimise such accesses
as soon as we start using them more intensively. Rather than fixing
inline asm, lets move MPU accessors to use cp15 helpers which do the
right thing.

Some nommu systems have RAM at address 0. When vectors are not located
there, the very beginning of memory remains available for dynamic
allocations. The memblock allocator explicitly skips the first page
but the standard page allocator does not, and while it correctly returns
a non-null struct page pointer for that page, page_address() gives 0
which gets confused with NULL (out of memory) by callers despite having
plenty of free memory left.

When there's a fatal signal pending, arm's do_page_fault()
implementation returns 0. The intent is that we'll return to the
faulting userspace instruction, delivering the signal on the way.
However, if we take a fatal signal during fixing up a uaccess, this
results in a return to the faulting kernel instruction, which will be
instantly retried, resulting in the same fault being taken forever. As
the task never reaches userspace, the signal is not delivered, and the
task is left unkillable. While the task is stuck in this state, it can
inhibit the forward progress of the system.
To avoid this, we must ensure that when a fatal signal is pending, we
apply any necessary fixup for a faulting kernel instruction. Thus we
will return to an error path, and it is up to that code to make forward
progress towards delivering the fatal signal.
