We can simply use a relocated 64-bit literal to store the address of
__secondary_switched(), and the relocation code will ensure that it
holds the correct value at secondary entry time, as long as we make sure
that the literal is not dereferenced until after we have enabled the MMU.
So jump via a small __secondary_switch() function covered by the ID map
that performs the literal load and branch-to-register.

and a temp register, is used to store a status value to the variable
__early_cpu_boot_status. Subsequently, the value of the temp register is
reused to invalidate any cachelines covering this variable.
However, since str_l resolves to
adrp \tmp, \sym
str \src, [\tmp, :lo12:\sym]
the temp register never actually holds the address of the variable but
only of the 4 KB window that covers it, and reusing it leads to the
wrong cacheline being invalidated. So instead, take the address
explicitly before doing the store, and reuse that value to perform
the cache invalidation.

The mapping of the kernel consist of four segments, each of which is mapped
with different permission attributes and/or lifetimes. To optimize the TLB
and translation table footprint, we define various opaque constants in the
linker script that resolve to different aligment values depending on the
page size and whether CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA is set.
Considering that
- a 4 KB granule kernel benefits from a 64 KB segment alignment (due to
the fact that it allows the use of the contiguous bit),
- the minimum alignment of the .data segment is THREAD_SIZE already, not
PAGE_SIZE (i.e., we already have padding between _data and the start of
the .data payload in many cases),
- 2 MB is a suitable alignment value on all granule sizes, either for
mapping directly (level 2 on 4 KB), or via the contiguous bit (level 3 on
16 KB and 64 KB),
- anything beyond 2 MB exceeds the minimum alignment mandated by the boot
protocol, and can only be mapped efficiently if the physical alignment
happens to be the same,
we can simplify this by standardizing on 64 KB (or 2 MB) explicitly, i.e.,
regardless of granule size, all segments are aligned either to 64 KB, or to
2 MB if CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA=y. This also means we can drop the Kconfig
dependency of CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA on CONFIG_ARM64_4K_PAGES.

Keeping .head.text out of the .text mapping buys us very little: its actual
payload is only 4 KB, most of which is padding, but the page alignment may
add up to 2 MB (in case of CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA=y) of additional
padding to the uncompressed kernel Image.
Also, on 4 KB granule kernels, the 4 KB misalignment of .text forces us to
map the adjacent 56 KB of code without the PTE_CONT attribute, and since
this region contains things like the vector table and the GIC interrupt
handling entry point, this region is likely to benefit from the reduced TLB
pressure that results from PTE_CONT mappings.
So remove the alignment between the .head.text and .text sections, and use
the [_text, _etext) rather than the [_stext, _etext) interval for mapping
the .text segment.

Apart from the arm64/linux and EFI header data structures, there is nothing
in the .head.text section that must reside at the beginning of the Image.
So let's move it to the .init section where it belongs.
Note that this involves some minor tweaking of the EFI header, primarily
because the address of 'stext' no longer coincides with the start of the
.text section. It also requires a couple of relocated symbol references
to be slightly rewritten or their definition moved to the linker script.

Currently, we check two pointers: cpu_ops and cpu_suspend on every idle

If cpu_ops has not been registered, arm_cpuidle_init() will return
-EOPNOTSUPP, so arm_cpuidle_suspend() will never have chance to

Similarly, the cpu_suspend check could be avoided in this hot path by

Commit f80fb3a3d5 ("arm64: add support for kernel ASLR") missed a
DSB necessary to complete I-cache maintenance in the primary boot path,
and hence stale instructions may still be present in the I-cache and may
be executed until the I-cache maintenance naturally completes.
Since commit 8ec4198743 ("arm64: mm: ensure patched kernel text is
fetched from PoU"), all CPUs invalidate their I-caches after their MMU
is enabled. Prior a CPU's MMU having been enabled, arbitrary lines may
have been fetched from the PoC into I-caches. We never patch text
expected to be executed with the MMU off. Thus, it is unnecessary to
perform broadcast I-cache maintenance in the primary boot path.
This patch reduces the scope of the I-cache maintenance to the local
CPU, and adds the missing DSB with similar scope, matching prior
maintenance in the primary boot path.

The implementation of macro inv_entry refers to its 'el' argument without
the required leading backslash, which results in an undefined symbol
'el' to be passed into the kernel_entry macro rather than the index of
the exception level as intended.
This undefined symbol strangely enough does not result in build failures,
although it is visible in vmlinux:
$ nm -n vmlinux |head
U el
0000000000000000 A _kernel_flags_le_hi32
0000000000000000 A _kernel_offset_le_hi32
0000000000000000 A _kernel_size_le_hi32
000000000000000a A _kernel_flags_le_lo32
.....
However, it does result in incorrect code being generated for invalid
exceptions taken from EL0, since the argument check in kernel_entry
assumes EL1 if its argument does not equal '0'.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
"Here are the main arm64 updates for 4.6. There are some relatively
intrusive changes to support KASLR, the reworking of the kernel
virtual memory layout and initial page table creation.
Summary:
- Initial page table creation reworked to avoid breaking large block
mappings (huge pages) into smaller ones. The ARM architecture
requires break-before-make in such cases to avoid TLB conflicts but
that's not always possible on live page tables
- Kernel virtual memory layout: the kernel image is no longer linked
to the bottom of the linear mapping (PAGE_OFFSET) but at the bottom
of the vmalloc space, allowing the kernel to be loaded (nearly)
anywhere in physical RAM
- Kernel ASLR: position independent kernel Image and modules being
randomly mapped in the vmalloc space with the randomness is
provided by UEFI (efi_get_random_bytes() patches merged via the
arm64 tree, acked by Matt Fleming)
- Implement relative exception tables for arm64, required by KASLR
(initial code for ARCH_HAS_RELATIVE_EXTABLE added to lib/extable.c
but actual x86 conversion to deferred to 4.7 because of the merge
dependencies)
- Support for the User Access Override feature of ARMv8.2: this
allows uaccess functions (get_user etc.) to be implemented using
LDTR/STTR instructions. Such instructions, when run by the kernel,
perform unprivileged accesses adding an extra level of protection.
The set_fs() macro is used to "upgrade" such instruction to
privileged accesses via the UAO bit
- Half-precision floating point support (part of ARMv8.2)
- Optimisations for CPUs with or without a hardware prefetcher (using
run-time code patching)
- copy_page performance improvement to deal with 128 bytes at a time
- Sanity checks on the CPU capabilities (via CPUID) to prevent
incompatible secondary CPUs from being brought up (e.g. weird
big.LITTLE configurations)
- valid_user_regs() reworked for better sanity check of the
sigcontext information (restored pstate information)
- ACPI parking protocol implementation
- CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA enabled by default
- VDSO code marked as read-only
- DEBUG_PAGEALLOC support
- ARCH_HAS_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL enabled
- Erratum workaround Cavium ThunderX SoC
- set_pte_at() fix for PROT_NONE mappings
- Code clean-ups"

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"One of the largest releases for KVM... Hardly any generic
changes, but lots of architecture-specific updates.
ARM:
- VHE support so that we can run the kernel at EL2 on ARMv8.1 systems
- PMU support for guests
- 32bit world switch rewritten in C
- various optimizations to the vgic save/restore code.
PPC:
- enabled KVM-VFIO integration ("VFIO device")
- optimizations to speed up IPIs between vcpus
- in-kernel handling of IOMMU hypercalls
- support for dynamic DMA windows (DDW).
s390:
- provide the floating point registers via sync regs;
- separated instruction vs. data accesses
- dirty log improvements for huge guests
- bugfixes and documentation improvements.
x86:
- Hyper-V VMBus hypercall userspace exit
- alternative implementation of lowest-priority interrupts using
vector hashing (for better VT-d posted interrupt support)
- fixed guest debugging with nested virtualizations
- improved interrupt tracking in the in-kernel IOAPIC
- generic infrastructure for tracking writes to guest
memory - currently its only use is to speedup the legacy shadow
paging (pre-EPT) case, but in the future it will be used for
virtual GPUs as well
- much cleanup (LAPIC, kvmclock, MMU, PIT), including ubsan fixes"
