commit 3c0696076aad60a2f04c019761921954579e1b0e upstream.
It is currently possible for a userspace application to enter an
infinite page fault loop when using HugeTLB pages implemented with
contiguous PTEs when HAFDBS is not available. This happens because:
1. The kernel may sometimes write PTEs that are sw-dirty but hw-clean
(PTE_DIRTY | PTE_RDONLY | PTE_WRITE).
2. If, during a write, the CPU uses a sw-dirty, hw-clean PTE in handling
the memory access on a system without HAFDBS, we will get a page
fault.
3. HugeTLB will check if it needs to update the dirty bits on the PTE.
For contiguous PTEs, it will check to see if the pgprot bits need
updating. In this case, HugeTLB wants to write a sequence of
sw-dirty, hw-dirty PTEs, but it finds that all the PTEs it is about
to overwrite are all pte_dirty() (pte_sw_dirty() => pte_dirty()),
so it thinks no update is necessary.
We can get the kernel to write a sw-dirty, hw-clean PTE with the
following steps (showing the relevant VMA flags and pgprot bits):
i. Create a valid, writable contiguous PTE.
VMA vmflags: VM_SHARED | VM_READ | VM_WRITE
VMA pgprot bits: PTE_RDONLY | PTE_WRITE
PTE pgprot bits: PTE_DIRTY | PTE_WRITE
ii. mprotect the VMA to PROT_NONE.
VMA vmflags: VM_SHARED
VMA pgprot bits: PTE_RDONLY
PTE pgprot bits: PTE_DIRTY | PTE_RDONLY
iii. mprotect the VMA back to PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE.
VMA vmflags: VM_SHARED | VM_READ | VM_WRITE
VMA pgprot bits: PTE_RDONLY | PTE_WRITE
PTE pgprot bits: PTE_DIRTY | PTE_WRITE | PTE_RDONLY
Make it impossible to create a writeable sw-dirty, hw-clean PTE with
pte_modify(). Such a PTE should be impossible to create, and there may
be places that assume that pte_dirty() implies pte_hw_dirty().

Since we are compiling for a single chipset that is known to support LSE,
the system_uses_lse_atomics() static branch can be eliminated entirely.
Therefore, make system_uses_lse_atomics() always true to always use LSE
atomics, and update ARM64_LSE_ATOMIC_INSN() users to get rid of the extra
nops used for alternatives patching at runtime.
This reduces generated code size by removing LL/SC atomics, which improves
instruction cache footprint.

commit b3a0c010e900a9f89dcd99f10bd8f7538d21b0a9 upstream.
Currently do_sysinstr() and do_cp15instr() are marked with
NOKPROBE_SYMBOL(). However, these are only called for exceptions taken
from EL0, and there is no risk of recursion in kprobes, so this is not
necessary.
Remove the NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() annotation, and rename the two functions to
more clearly indicate that these are solely for exceptions taken from
EL0, better matching the names used by the lower level entry points in
entry-common.c.

commit 18906ff9af6517c20763ed63dab602a4150794f7 upstream.
Recently, we reworked a lot of code to consistentlt pass ESR_ELx as a
64-bit quantity. However, we missed that this can be passed into die()
and __die() as the 'err' parameter where it is truncated to a 32-bit
int.
As notify_die() already takes 'err' as a long, this patch changes die()
and __die() to also take 'err' as a long, ensuring that the full value
of ESR_ELx is retained.
At the same time, die() is updated to consistently log 'err' as a
zero-padded 64-bit quantity.
Subsequent patches will pass the ESR_ELx value to die() for a number of
exceptions.
