Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
"The biggest part is the virtual CPU hotplug that touches ACPI,
irqchip. We also have some GICv3 optimisation for pseudo-NMIs that has
been queued via the arm64 tree. Otherwise the usual perf updates,
kselftest, various small cleanups.

Core:

- Virtual CPU hotplug support for arm64 ACPI systems

- cpufeature infrastructure cleanups and making the FEAT_ECBHB ID
bits visible to guests

- CPU errata: expand the speculative SSBS workaround to more CPUs

- GICv3, use compile-time PMR values: optimise the way regular IRQs
are masked/unmasked when GICv3 pseudo-NMIs are used, removing the
need for a static key in fast paths by using a priority value
chosen dynamically at boot time

ACPI:

- 'acpi=nospcr' option to disable SPCR as default console for arm64

- Move some ACPI code (cpuidle, FFH) to drivers/acpi/arm64/

Perf updates:

- Rework of the IMX PMU driver to enable support for I.MX95

- Enable support for tertiary match groups in the CMN PMU driver

- Initial refactoring of the CPU PMU code to prepare for the fixed
instruction counter introduced by Arm v9.4

- Add missing PMU driver MODULE_DESCRIPTION() strings

- Hook up DT compatibles for recent CPU PMUs

Kselftest updates:

- Kernel mode NEON fp-stress

- Cleanups, spelling mistakes

Miscellaneous:

- arm64 Documentation update with a minor clarification on TBI

- Fix missing IPI statistics

- Implement raw_smp_processor_id() using thread_info rather than a
per-CPU variable (better code generation)

- Make MTE checking of in-kernel asynchronous tag faults conditional
on KASAN being enabled

- Minor cleanups, typos"

# 18fdb634 17-Jun-2024 Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com>

arm64: irqchip/gic-v3: Select priorities at boot time

The distributor and PMR/RPR can present different views of the interrupt
priority space dependent upon the values of GICD_CTLR.DS and
SCR_EL3.FI

arm64: irqchip/gic-v3: Select priorities at boot time

The distributor and PMR/RPR can present different views of the interrupt
priority space dependent upon the values of GICD_CTLR.DS and
SCR_EL3.FIQ. Currently we treat the distributor's view of the priority
space as canonical, and when the two differ we change the way we handle
values in the PMR/RPR, using the `gic_nonsecure_priorities` static key
to decide what to do.

This approach works, but it's sub-optimal. When using pseudo-NMI we
manipulate the distributor rarely, and we manipulate the PMR/RPR
registers very frequently in code spread out throughout the kernel (e.g.
local_irq_{save,restore}()). It would be nicer if we could use fixed
values for the PMR/RPR, and dynamically choose the values programmed
into the distributor.

This patch changes the GICv3 driver and arm64 code accordingly. PMR
values are chosen at compile time, and the GICv3 driver determines the
appropriate values to program into the distributor at boot time. This
removes the need for the `gic_nonsecure_priorities` static key and
results in smaller and better generated code for saving/restoring the
irqflags.

Before this patch, local_irq_disable() compiles to:

| 0000000000000000 <outlined_local_irq_disable>:
| 0: d503201f nop
| 4: d50343df msr daifset, #0x3
| 8: d65f03c0 ret
| c: d503201f nop
| 10: d2800c00 mov x0, #0x60 // #96
| 14: d5184600 msr icc_pmr_el1, x0
| 18: d65f03c0 ret
| 1c: d2801400 mov x0, #0xa0 // #160
| 20: 17fffffd b 14 <outlined_local_irq_disable+0x14>

After this patch, local_irq_disable() compiles to:

| 0000000000000000 <outlined_local_irq_disable>:
| 0: d503201f nop
| 4: d50343df msr daifset, #0x3
| 8: d65f03c0 ret
| c: d2801800 mov x0, #0xc0 // #192
| 10: d5184600 msr icc_pmr_el1, x0
| 14: d65f03c0 ret

... with 3 fewer instructions per call.

For defconfig + CONFIG_PSEUDO_NMI=y, this results in a minor saving of
~4K of text, and will make it easier to make further improvements to the
way we manipulate irqflags and DAIF bits.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
"No major architecture features this time around, just some new HWCAP
definitions, support for the Ampere SoC PMUs and a few fixes/cleanups.

The bulk of the changes is reworking of the CPU capability checking
code (cpus_have_cap() etc).

- Major refactoring of the CPU capability detection logic resulting
in the removal of the cpus_have_const_cap() function and migrating
the code to "alternative" branches where possible

- Backtrace/kgdb: use IPIs and pseudo-NMI

- Perf and PMU:

- Add support for Ampere SoC PMUs

- Multi-DTC improvements for larger CMN configurations with
multiple Debug & Trace Controllers

- Rework the Arm CoreSight PMU driver to allow separate
registration of vendor backend modules

- Fixes: add missing MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE to the amlogic perf
driver; use device_get_match_data() in the xgene driver; fix
NULL pointer dereference in the hisi driver caused by calling
cpuhp_state_remove_instance(); use-after-free in the hisi driver

- HWCAP updates:

- FEAT_SVE_B16B16 (BFloat16)

- FEAT_LRCPC3 (release consistency model)

- FEAT_LSE128 (128-bit atomic instructions)

- SVE: remove a couple of pseudo registers from the cpufeature code.
There is logic in place already to detect mismatched SVE features

- Miscellaneous:

- Reduce the default swiotlb size (currently 64MB) if no ZONE_DMA
bouncing is needed. The buffer is still required for small
kmalloc() buffers

- Fix module PLT counting with !RANDOMIZE_BASE

- Restrict CPU_BIG_ENDIAN to LLVM IAS 15.x or newer move
synchronisation code out of the set_ptes() loop

- More compact cpufeature displaying enabled cores

- Kselftest updates for the new CPU features"

arm64: Avoid cpus_have_const_cap() for ARM64_WORKAROUND_CAVIUM_23154

arm64: Avoid cpus_have_const_cap() for ARM64_WORKAROUND_CAVIUM_23154

In gic_read_iar() we use cpus_have_const_cap() to check for
ARM64_WORKAROUND_CAVIUM_23154 but this is not necessary and
alternative_has_cap_*() would be preferable.

For historical reasons, cpus_have_const_cap() is more complicated than
it needs to be. Before cpucaps are finalized, it will perform a bitmap
test of the system_cpucaps bitmap, and once cpucaps are finalized it
will use an alternative branch. This used to be necessary to handle some
race conditions in the window between cpucap detection and the
subsequent patching of alternatives and static branches, where different
branches could be out-of-sync with one another (or w.r.t. alternative
sequences). Now that we use alternative branches instead of static
branches, these are all patched atomically w.r.t. one another, and there
are only a handful of cases that need special care in the window between
cpucap detection and alternative patching.

Due to the above, it would be nice to remove cpus_have_const_cap(), and
migrate callers over to alternative_has_cap_*(), cpus_have_final_cap(),
or cpus_have_cap() depending on when their requirements. This will
remove redundant instructions and improve code generation, and will make
it easier to determine how each callsite will behave before, during, and
after alternative patching.

The ARM64_WORKAROUND_CAVIUM_23154 cpucap is detected and patched early
on the boot CPU before the GICv3 driver is initialized and hence before
gic_read_iar() is ever called. Thus it is not necessary to use
cpus_have_const_cap(), and alternative_has_cap() is equivalent.

In addition, arm64's gic_read_iar() lives in irq-gic-v3.c purely for
historical reasons. It was originally added prior to 32-bit arm support
in commit:

6d4e11c5e2e8cd54 ("irqchip/gicv3: Workaround for Cavium ThunderX erratum 23154")

When support for 32-bit arm was added, 32-bit arm's gic_read_iar()
implementation was placed in <asm/arch_gicv3.h>, but the arm64 version
was kept within irq-gic-v3.c as it depended on a static key local to
irq-gic-v3.c and it was easier to add ifdeffery, which is what we did in
commit:

7936e914f7b0827c ("irqchip/gic-v3: Refactor the arm64 specific parts")

Subsequently the static key was replaced with a cpucap in commit:

a4023f682739439b ("arm64: Add hypervisor safe helper for checking constant capabilities")

Since that commit there has been no need to keep arm64's gic_read_iar()
in irq-gic-v3.c.

This patch replaces the use of cpus_have_const_cap() with
alternative_has_cap_unlikely(), which will avoid generating code to test
the system_cpucaps bitmap and should be better for all subsequent calls
at runtime. For consistency, move the arm64-specific gic_read_iar()
implementation over to arm64's <asm/arch_gicv3.h>. The
ARM64_WORKAROUND_CAVIUM_23154 cpucap is added to cpucap_is_possible() so
that code can be elided entirely when this is not possible.
