H A Dasm-extable.hdiff 2e77a62cb3a6d2eb9dd875516411bcd131dd04e7 Tue Oct 19 18:02:17 CEST 2021 Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> arm64: extable: add a dedicated uaccess handler

For inline assembly, we place exception fixups out-of-line in the
`.fixup` section such that these are out of the way of the fast path.
This has a few drawbacks:

* Since the fixup code is anonymous, backtraces will symbolize fixups as
offsets from the nearest prior symbol, currently
`__entry_tramp_text_end`. This is confusing, and painful to debug
without access to the relevant vmlinux.

* Since the exception handler adjusts the PC to execute the fixup, and
the fixup uses a direct branch back into the function it fixes,
backtraces of fixups miss the original function. This is confusing,
and violates requirements for RELIABLE_STACKTRACE (and therefore
LIVEPATCH).

* Inline assembly and associated fixups are generated from templates,
and we have many copies of logically identical fixups which only
differ in which specific registers are written to and which address is
branched to at the end of the fixup. This is potentially wasteful of
I-cache resources, and makes it hard to add additional logic to fixups
without significant bloat.

This patch address all three concerns for inline uaccess fixups by
adding a dedicated exception handler which updates registers in
exception context and subsequent returns back into the function which
faulted, removing the need for fixups specialized to each faulting
instruction.

Other than backtracing, there should be no functional change as a result
of this patch.
