fade9c2c6e arm64: Rename arm64-internal cache maintenance functions
Although naming across the codebase isn't that consistent, it
tends to follow certain patterns. Moreover, the term "flush"
isn't defined in the Arm Architecture reference manual, and might
be interpreted to mean clean, invalidate, or both for a cache.

Rename arm64-internal functions to make the naming internally
consistent, as well as making it consistent with the Arm ARM, by
specifying whether it applies to the instruction, data, or both
caches, whether the operation is a clean, invalidate, or both.
Also specify which point the operation applies to, i.e., to the
point of unification (PoU), coherency (PoC), or persistence
(PoP).

This commit applies the following sed transformation to all files
under arch/arm64:

"s/\b__flush_cache_range\b/caches_clean_inval_pou_macro/g;"\
"s/\b__flush_icache_range\b/caches_clean_inval_pou/g;"\
"s/\binvalidate_icache_range\b/icache_inval_pou/g;"\
"s/\b__flush_dcache_area\b/dcache_clean_inval_poc/g;"\
"s/\b__inval_dcache_area\b/dcache_inval_poc/g;"\
"s/__clean_dcache_area_poc\b/dcache_clean_poc/g;"\
"s/\b__clean_dcache_area_pop\b/dcache_clean_pop/g;"\
"s/\b__clean_dcache_area_pou\b/dcache_clean_pou/g;"\
"s/\b__flush_cache_user_range\b/caches_clean_inval_user_pou/g;"\
"s/\b__flush_icache_all\b/icache_inval_all_pou/g;"

Note that __clean_dcache_area_poc is deliberately missing a word
boundary check at the beginning in order to match the efistub
symbols in image-vars.h.

Also note that, despite its name, __flush_icache_range operates
on both instruction and data caches. The name change here
reflects that.

No functional change intended.

8d144746ec arm64: alternative: simplify passing alt_region
In __apply_alternatives() we take a pointer to void which we later
assign to a pointer to struct alt_region. As all callers are passing a
pointer to struct alt_region to begin with, it's simpler and more robust
to take a pointer to struct alt region, so let's do so and avoid the
need for a temporary variable.

non-canonical CFI, the compiler won't replace these function

5679b28142 arm64/alternatives: don't patch up internal branches
Commit f7b93d4294 ("arm64/alternatives: use subsections for replacement
sequences") moved the alternatives replacement sequences into subsections,
in order to keep the as close as possible to the code that they replace.

Unfortunately, this broke the logic in branch_insn_requires_update,
which assumed that any branch into kernel executable code was a branch
that required updating, which is no longer the case now that the code
sequences that are patched in are in the same section as the patch site
itself.

So the only way to discriminate branches that require updating and ones
that don't is to check whether the branch targets the replacement sequence
itself, and so we can drop the call to kernel_text_address() entirely.

0ceb0d5690 arm64: alternative: Apply alternatives early in boot process
Currently alternatives are applied very late in the boot process (and
a long time after we enable scheduling). Some alternative sequences,
such as those that alter the way CPU context is stored, must be applied
much earlier in the boot sequence.

Introduce apply_boot_alternatives() to allow some alternatives to be

429388682d arm64: Avoid flush_icache_range() in alternatives patching code
The implementation of flush_icache_range() includes instruction sequences
which are themselves patched at runtime, so it is not safe to call from
the patching framework.

This patch reworks the alternatives cache-flushing code so that it rolls
its own internal D-cache maintenance using DC CIVAC before invalidating
the entire I-cache after all alternatives have been applied at boot.
Modules don't cause any issues, since flush_icache_range() is safe to
call by the time they are loaded.

dea5e2a4c5 arm64: alternatives: Add dynamic patching feature
We've so far relied on a patching infrastructure that only gave us
a single alternative, without any way to provide a range of potential
replacement instructions. For a single feature, this is an all or
nothing thing.

It would be interesting to have a more flexible grained way of patching
the kernel though, where we could dynamically tune the code that gets
injected.

In order to achive this, let's introduce a new form of dynamic patching,
assiciating a callback to a patching site. This callback gets source and
target locations of the patching request, as well as the number of
instructions to be patched.

Dynamic patching is declared with the new ALTERNATIVE_CB and alternative_cb
directives:

	asm volatile(ALTERNATIVE_CB("mov %0, #0\n", callback)
		     : "r" (v));
or
	alternative_cb callback
		mov	x0, #0
	alternative_cb_end

where callback is the C function computing the alternative.

15ad6ace52 arm64: fix endianness annotation for __apply_alternatives()/get_alt_insn()
get_alt_insn() is used to read and create ARM instructions, which
are always stored in memory in little-endian order. These values
are thus correctly converted to/from native order when processed
but the pointers used to hold the address of these instructions
are declared as for native order values.

Fix this by declaring the pointers as __le32* instead of u32* and
make the few appropriate needed changes like removing the unneeded
cast '(u32*)' in front of __ALT_PTR()'s definition.

5ea5306c32 arm64: alternatives: apply boot time fixups via the linear mapping
One important rule of thumb when desiging a secure software system is
that memory should never be writable and executable at the same time.
We mostly adhere to this rule in the kernel, except at boot time, when
regions may be mapped RWX until after we are done applying alternatives
or making other one-off changes.

For the alternative patching, we can improve the situation by applying
the fixups via the linear mapping, which is never mapped with executable
permissions. So map the linear alias of .text with RW- permissions
initially, and remove the write permissions as soon as alternative
patching has completed.

9aa4ec1571 arm64: mm: fold alternatives into .init
Currently we treat the alternatives separately from other data that's
only used during initialisation, using separate .altinstructions and
.altinstr_replacement linker sections. These are freed for general
allocation separately from .init*. This is problematic as:

* We do not remove execute permissions, as we do for .init, leaving the
  memory executable.

* We pad between them, making the kernel Image bianry up to PAGE_SIZE
  bytes larger than necessary.

This patch moves the two sections into the contiguous region used for
.init*. This saves some memory, ensures that we remove execute
permissions, and allows us to remove some code made redundant by this
reorganisation.

04b8637be9 arm64: alternatives: ensure secondary CPUs execute ISB after patching
In order to guarantee that the patched instruction stream is visible to
a CPU, that CPU must execute an isb instruction after any related cache
maintenance has completed.

The instruction patching routines in kernel/insn.c get this right for
things like jump labels and ftrace, but the alternatives patching omits
it entirely leaving secondary cores in a potential limbo between the old
and the new code.

This patch adds an isb following the secondary polling loop in the

This patch passes the cpu_online_mask to stop_machine, forcing all of

a dumb (but safe!) polling loop whilst the patching is carried out.

b9a95e85bb Revert "arm64: alternative: Allow immediate branch as alternative instruction"
This reverts most of commit fef7f2b201.

It turns out that there are a couple of problems with the way we're
fixing up branch instructions used as part of alternative instruction
sequences:

  (1) If the branch target is also in the alternative sequence, we'll
      generate a branch into the .altinstructions section which actually
      gets freed.

  (2) The calls to aarch64_insn_{read,write} bring an awful lot more
      code into the patching path (e.g. taking locks, poking the fixmap,
      invalidating the TLB) which isn't actually needed for the early
      patching run under stop_machine, but makes the use of alternative
      sequences extremely fragile (as we can't patch code that could be
      used by the patching code).

Given that no code actually requires alternative patching of immediate
branches, let's remove this support for now and revisit it when we've
got a user. We leave the updated size check, since we really do require
the sequences to be the same length.

932ded4b0b arm64: add module support for alternatives fixups
Currently the kernel patches all necessary instructions once at boot
time, so modules are not covered by this.
Change the apply_alternatives() function to take a beginning and an
end pointer and introduce a new variant (apply_alternatives_all()) to
cover the existing use case for the static kernel image section.
Add a module_finalize() function to arm64 to check for an
alternatives section in a module and patch only the instructions from
that specific area.
Since that module code is not touched before the module
initialization has ended, we don't need to halt the machine before
doing the patching in the module's code.

e039ee4ee3 arm64: add alternative runtime patching
With a blatant copy of some x86 bits we introduce the alternative
runtime patching "framework" to arm64.
This is quite basic for now and we only provide the functions we need
at this time.
This is connected to the newly introduced feature bits.
