The arm64 Image header contains a text_offset field which bootloaders
are supposed to read to determine the offset (from a 2MB aligned "start
of memory" per booting.txt) at which to load the kernel. The offset is
not well respected by bootloaders at present, and due to the lack of
variation there is little incentive to support it. This is unfortunate
for the sake of future kernels where we may wish to vary the text offset
(even zeroing it).
This patch adds options to arm64 to enable fuzz-testing of text_offset.
CONFIG_ARM64_RANDOMIZE_TEXT_OFFSET forces the text offset to a random
16-byte aligned value value in the range [0..2MB) upon a build of the
kernel. It is recommended that distribution kernels enable randomization
to test bootloaders such that any compliance issues can be fixed early.

Currently the kernel Image is stripped of everything past the initial
stack, and at runtime the memory is initialised and used by the kernel.
This makes the effective minimum memory footprint of the kernel larger
than the size of the loaded binary, though bootloaders have no mechanism
to identify how large this minimum memory footprint is. This makes it
difficult to choose safe locations to place both the kernel and other
binaries required at boot (DTB, initrd, etc), such that the kernel won't
clobber said binaries or other reserved memory during initialisation.
Additionally when big endian support was added the image load offset was
overlooked, and is currently of an arbitrary endianness, which makes it
difficult for bootloaders to make use of it. It seems that bootloaders
aren't respecting the image load offset at present anyway, and are
assuming that offset 0x80000 will always be correct.
This patch adds an effective image size to the kernel header which
describes the amount of memory from the start of the kernel Image binary
which the kernel expects to use before detecting memory and handling any
memory reservations. This can be used by bootloaders to choose suitable
locations to load the kernel and/or other binaries such that the kernel
will not clobber any memory unexpectedly. As before, memory reservations
are required to prevent the kernel from clobbering these locations
later.
Both the image load offset and the effective image size are forced to be
little-endian regardless of the native endianness of the kernel to
enable bootloaders to load a kernel of arbitrary endianness. Bootloaders
which wish to make use of the load offset can inspect the effective
image size field for a non-zero value to determine if the offset is of a
known endianness. To enable software to determine the endinanness of the
kernel as may be required for certain use-cases, a new flags field (also
little-endian) is added to the kernel header to export this information.
The documentation is updated to clarify these details. To discourage
future assumptions regarding the value of text_offset, the value at this
point in time is removed from the main flow of the documentation (though
kept as a compatibility note). Some minor formatting issues in the
documentation are also corrected.

Currently we place swapper_pg_dir and idmap_pg_dir below the kernel
image, between PHYS_OFFSET and (PHYS_OFFSET + TEXT_OFFSET). However,
bootloaders may use portions of this memory below the kernel and we do
not parse the memory reservation list until after the MMU has been
enabled. As such we may clobber some memory a bootloader wishes to have
preserved.
To enable the use of all of this memory by bootloaders (when the
required memory reservations are communicated to the kernel) it is
necessary to move our initial page tables elsewhere. As we currently
have an effectively unbound requirement for memory at the end of the
kernel image for .bss, we can place the page tables here.
This patch moves the initial page table to the end of the kernel image,
after the BSS. As they do not consist of any initialised data they will
be stripped from the kernel Image as with the BSS. The BSS clearing
routine is updated to stop at __bss_stop rather than _end so as to not
clobber the page tables, and memory reservations made redundant by the
new organisation are removed.

Currently __turn_mmu_on is aligned to 64 bytes to ensure that it doesn't
span any page boundary, which simplifies the idmap and spares us
requiring an additional page table to map half of the function. In
keeping with other important requirements in architecture code, this
fact is undocumented.
Additionally, as the function consists of three instructions totalling
12 bytes with no literal pool data, a smaller alignment of 16 bytes
would be sufficient.
This patch reduces the alignment to 16 bytes and documents the
underlying reason for the alignment. This reduces the required alignment
of the entire .head.text section from 64 bytes to 16 bytes, though it
may still be aligned to a larger value depending on TEXT_OFFSET.

These macros expand to function calls which will only work
properly if el0_sync and related code has been rearranged

The calls to ct_user_exit are made after hw debugging has been

The call to ct_user_enter is made at the beginning of the
kernel_exit macro.

It happens because compat_gpr_get and compat_gpr_set functions can
copy registers values to/from either kbuf or ubuf. ELF core file
collection function fill_thread_core_info calls compat_gpr_get
with kbuf set and ubuf set to 0. But current compat_gpr_get and

was a pretty active cycle for KVM. Changes include:
- a lot of s390 changes: optimizations, support for migration,
GDB support and more
- ARM changes are pretty small: support for the PSCI 0.2 hypercall
interface on both the guest and the host (the latter acked by Catalin)
- initial POWER8 and little-endian host support
- support for running u-boot on embedded POWER targets
- pretty large changes to MIPS too, completing the userspace interface
and improving the handling of virtualized timer hardware
- for x86, a larger set of changes is scheduled for 3.17. Still,
we have a few emulator bugfixes and support for running nested
fully-virtualized Xen guests (para-virtualized Xen guests have
always worked). And some optimizations too.
The only missing architecture here is ia64. It's not a coincidence
that support for KVM on ia64 is scheduled for removal in 3.17.

On platforms implementing CPU power management, the CPUidle subsystem
can allow CPUs to enter idle states where local timers logic is lost on power
down. To keep the software timers functional the kernel relies on an
always-on broadcast timer to be present in the platform to relay the
interrupt signalling the timer expiries.
For platforms implementing CPU core gating that do not implement an always-on
HW timer or implement it in a broken way, this patch adds code to initialize
the kernel hrtimer based clock event device upon boot (which can be chosen as
tick broadcast device by the kernel).
It relies on a dynamically chosen CPU to be always powered-up. This CPU then
relays the timer interrupt to CPUs in deep-idle states through its HW local
timer device.
Having a CPU always-on has implications on power management platform
capabilities and makes CPUidle suboptimal, since at least a CPU is kept
always in a shallow idle state by the kernel to relay timer interrupts,
but at least leaves the kernel with a functional system with some working
power management capabilities.
The hrtimer based clock event device is unconditionally registered, but
has the lowest possible rating such that any broadcast-capable HW clock
event device present will be chosen in preference as the tick broadcast
device.

Commit 9c7e535fcc ("arm64: mm: Route pmd thp functions through pte
equivalents") changed the pmd manipulator and accessor functions to
convert the target pmd to a pte, process it with the pte functions, then
convert it back. Along the way, we gained support for PTE_WRITE, however
this is completely ignored by set_pmd_at, and so we fail to set the
PMD_SECT_RDONLY for PMDs, resulting in all sorts of lovely failures (like
CoW not working).
Partially reverting the offending commit (by making use of
PMD_SECT_RDONLY explicitly for pmd_{write,wrprotect,mkwrite} functions)
leads to further issues because pmd_write can then return potentially
incorrect values for page table entries marked as RDONLY, leading to
BUG_ON(pmd_write(entry)) tripping under some THP workloads.
This patch fixes the issue by routing set_pmd_at through set_pte_at,
which correctly takes the PTE_WRITE flag into account. Given that
THP mappings are always anonymous, the additional cache-flushing code
in __sync_icache_dcache won't impose any significant overhead as the
flush will be skipped.

This patch allows system call entry or exit to be traced as ftrace events,
ie. sys_enter_*/sys_exit_*, if CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS is enabled.
Those events appear and can be controlled under
${sysfs}/tracing/events/syscalls/
Please note that we can't trace compat system calls here because
AArch32 mode does not share the same syscall table with AArch64.
Just define ARCH_TRACE_IGNORE_COMPAT_SYSCALLS in order to avoid unexpected
results (bogus syscalls reported or even hang-up).

This patch allows "dynamic ftrace" if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE is enabled.
Here we can turn on and off tracing dynamically per-function base.
On arm64, this is done by patching single branch instruction to _mcount()
inserted by gcc -pg option. The branch is replaced to NOP initially at
kernel start up, and later on, NOP to branch to ftrace_caller() when
enabled or branch to NOP when disabled.
Please note that ftrace_caller() is a counterpart of _mcount() in case of
'static' ftrace.

Documentation/trace/ftrace-design.txt.

This patch implements arm64 specific part to support function tracers,
such as function (CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER), function_graph
(CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER) and function profiler
(CONFIG_FUNCTION_PROFILER).
With 'function' tracer, all the functions in the kernel are traced with
timestamps in ${sysfs}/tracing/trace. If function_graph tracer is
specified, call graph is generated.
The kernel must be compiled with -pg option so that _mcount() is inserted
at the beginning of functions. This function is called on every function's
entry as long as tracing is enabled.
In addition, function_graph tracer also needs to be able to probe function's
exit. ftrace_graph_caller() & return_to_handler do this by faking link
register's value to intercept function's return path.
More details on architecture specific requirements are described in
Documentation/trace/ftrace-design.txt.
