      arm64: Revert L1_CACHE_SHIFT back to 6 (64-byte cache line size) · 1f85b42a
      Catalin Marinas authored 
      Commit 97303480

 ("arm64: Increase the max granular size") increased
the cache line size to 128 to match Cavium ThunderX, apparently for some
performance benefit which could not be confirmed. This change, however,
has an impact on the network packets allocation in certain
circumstances, requiring slightly over a 4K page with a significant
performance degradation.

This patch reverts L1_CACHE_SHIFT back to 6 (64-byte cache line) while
keeping ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN at 128. The cache_line_size() function was
changed to default to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN in the absence of a meaningful
CTR_EL0.CWG bit field.

In addition, if a system with ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN < CTR_EL0.CWG is
detected, the kernel will force swiotlb bounce buffering for all
non-coherent devices since DMA cache maintenance on sub-CWG ranges is
not safe, leading to data corruption.

      arm64: Initialise high_memory global variable earlier · f24e5834
      Steve Capper authored 
      The high_memory global variable is used by
cma_declare_contiguous(.) before it is defined.

We don't notice this as we compute __pa(high_memory - 1), and it looks
like we're processing a VA from the direct linear map.

This problem becomes apparent when we flip the kernel virtual address
space and the linear map is moved to the bottom of the kernel VA space.

This patch moves the initialisation of high_memory before it used.

      arm64: Fix swiotlb fallback allocation · 524dabe1
      Alexander Graf authored and Catalin Marinas's avatar Catalin Marinas committed 
      Commit b67a8b29 introduced logic to skip swiotlb allocation when all memory
is DMA accessible anyway.

While this is a great idea, __dma_alloc still calls swiotlb code unconditionally
to allocate memory when there is no CMA memory available. The swiotlb code is
called to ensure that we at least try get_free_pages().

Without initialization, swiotlb allocation code tries to access io_tlb_list
which is NULL. That results in a stack trace like this:

  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000

Thankfully swiotlb code just learned how to not do allocations with the FORCE_NO
option. This patch configures the swiotlb code to use that if we decide not to
initialize the swiotlb framework.

      arm64: remove pr_cont abuse from mem_init · f7881bd6
      Mark Rutland authored 
      

All the lines printed by mem_init are independent, with each ending with
a newline. While they logically form a large block, none are actually
continuations of previous lines.

The kernel-side printk code and the userspace demsg tool differ in their
handling of KERN_CONT following a newline, and while this isn't always a
problem kernel-side, it does cause difficulty for userspace. Using
pr_cont causes the userspace tool to not print line prefix (e.g.
timestamps) even when following a newline, mis-aligning the output and
making it harder to read, e.g.

      arm64:acpi: fix the acpi alignment exception when 'mem=' specified · cb0a6502
      Dennis Chen authored 
      When booting an ACPI enabled kernel with 'mem=x', there is the
possibility that ACPI data regions from the firmware will lie above the
memory limit.  Ordinarily these will be removed by
memblock_enforce_memory_limit(.).

Unfortunately, this means that these regions will then be mapped by
acpi_os_ioremap(.) as device memory (instead of normal) thus unaligned
accessess will then provoke alignment faults.

In this patch we adopt memblock_mem_limit_remove_map instead, and this
preserves these ACPI data regions (marked NOMAP) thus ensuring that
these regions are not mapped as device memory.

For example, below is an alignment exception observed on ARM platform
when booting the kernel with 'acpi=on mem=8G':

      arm64: mm: move vmemmap region right below the linear region · 3e1907d5
      Ard Biesheuvel authored 
      

This moves the vmemmap region right below PAGE_OFFSET, aka the start
of the linear region, and redefines its size to be a power of two.
Due to the placement of PAGE_OFFSET in the middle of the address space,
whose size is a power of two as well, this guarantees that virt to
page conversions and vice versa can be implemented efficiently, by
masking and shifting rather than ordinary arithmetic.

longer the case. So open code it instead, using addresses that are

      arm64: add the initrd region to the linear mapping explicitly · 177e15f0
      Ard Biesheuvel authored 
      

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.

      arm64/mm: ensure memstart_addr remains sufficiently aligned · 2958987f
      Ard Biesheuvel authored 
      

After choosing memstart_addr to be the highest multiple of
ARM64_MEMSTART_ALIGN less than or equal to the first usable physical memory
address, we clip the memblocks to the maximum size of the linear region.
Since the kernel may be high up in memory, we take care not to clip the
kernel itself, which means we have to clip some memory from the bottom if
this occurs, to ensure that the distance between the first and the last
usable physical memory address can be covered by the linear region.

However, we fail to update memstart_addr if this clipping from the bottom
occurs, which means that we may still end up with virtual addresses that
wrap into the userland range. So increment memstart_addr as appropriate to
prevent this from happening.

      arm64: allow kernel Image to be loaded anywhere in physical memory · a7f8de16
      Ard Biesheuvel authored and Catalin Marinas's avatar Catalin Marinas committed 
      

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.

      arm64: defer __va translation of initrd_start and initrd_end · a89dea58
      Ard Biesheuvel authored and Catalin Marinas's avatar Catalin Marinas committed 
      

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.

      arm64: move kernel image to base of vmalloc area · f9040773
      Ard Biesheuvel authored and Catalin Marinas's avatar Catalin Marinas committed 
      

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.
