MPAM allows traffic in the SoC to be labeled by the OS, these labels are
used to apply policy in caches and bandwidth regulators, and to monitor
traffic in the SoC. The label is made up of a PARTID and PMG value. The x86
equivalent calls these CLOSID and RMID, but they don't map precisely.
MPAM has two CPU system registers that is used to hold the PARTID and PMG
values that traffic generated at each exception level will use. These can
be set per-task by the resctrl file system. (resctrl is the defacto
interface for controlling this stuff).
Add a helper to switch this.
struct task_struct's separate CLOSID and RMID fields are insufficient to
implement resctrl using MPAM, as resctrl can change the PARTID (CLOSID) and
PMG (sort of like the RMID) separately. On x86, the rmid is an independent
number, so a race that writes a mismatched closid and rmid into hardware is
benign. On arm64, the pmg bits extend the partid.
(i.e. partid-5 has a pmg-0 that is not the same as partid-6's pmg-0). In
this case, mismatching the values will 'dirty' a pmg value that resctrl
believes is clean, and is not tracking with its 'limbo' code.
To avoid this, the partid and pmg are always read and written as a
pair. This requires a new u64 field. In struct task_struct there are two
u32, rmid and closid for the x86 case, but as we can't use them here do
something else. Add this new field, mpam_partid_pmg, to struct thread_info
to avoid adding more architecture specific code to struct task_struct.
Always use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() when accessing this field.
Resctrl allows a per-cpu 'default' value to be set, this overrides the
values when scheduling a task in the default control-group, which has
PARTID 0. The way 'code data prioritisation' gets emulated means the
register value for the default group needs to be a variable.
The current system register value is kept in a per-cpu variable to avoid
writing to the system register if the value isn't going to change. Writes
to this register may reset the hardware state for regulating bandwidth.
Finally, there is no reason to context switch these registers unless there
is a driver changing the values in struct task_struct. Hide the whole thing
behind a static key. This also allows the driver to disable MPAM in
response to errors reported by hardware. Move the existing static key to
belong to the arch code, as in the future the MPAM driver may become a
loadable module.
All this should depend on whether there is an MPAM driver, hide it behind
CONFIG_ARM64_MPAM.

When KVM enables or disables MPAM traps to EL2 it clears all other bits in
MPAM2_EL2. Notably, it clears the partition ids (PARTIDs) and performance
monitoring groups (PMGs). Avoid changing these bits in anticipation of
adding support for MPAM in the kernel. Otherwise, on a VHE system with the
host running at EL2 where MPAM2_EL2 and MPAM1_EL1 access the same register,
any attempt to use MPAM to monitor or partition resources for kernel space
would be foiled by running a KVM guest. Additionally, MPAM2_EL2.EnMPAMSM is
always set to 0 which causes MPAMSM_EL1 to always trap. Keep EnMPAMSM set
to 1 when not in a guest so that the kernel can use MPAMSM_EL1.

To indicate that the configuration, of the controls used by resctrl, in a
RIS need resetting to driver defaults the reset flags in mpam_config are
set. However, these flags are only ever set temporarily at RIS scope in
mpam_reset_ris() and hence mpam_cpu_online() will never reset these
controls to default. As the hardware reset is unknown this leads to unknown
configuration when the control values haven't been configured away from the
defaults.
Use the policy that an unset feature configuration bit means reset. In this
way the mpam_config in the component can encode that it should be in reset
state and mpam_reprogram_msc() will reset controls as needed.

[ morse: Removed unused reset flags from config structure ]
Signed-off-by: James Morse <james.morse@arm.com>
The per-RIS flag, in_reset_state, indicates whether or not the MSC
registers are in reset state, and allows avoiding resetting when they are
already in reset state. However, when mpam_apply_config() updates the
configuration it doesn't update the in_reset_state flag and so even after
the configuration update in_reset_state can be true and mpam_reset_ris()
will skip the actual register restoration on subsequent resets.
Once resctrl has a MPAM backend it will use resctrl_arch_reset_all_ctrls()
to reset the MSC configuration on unmount and, if the in_reset_state flag
is bogusly true, fail to reset the MSC configuration. The resulting
non-reset MSC configuration can lead to persistent performance restrictions
even after resctrl is unmounted.
Fix by clearing in_reset_state to false immediately after successful
configuration application, ensuring that the next reset operation
properly restores MSC register defaults.

i2c: i801: Revert "i2c: i801: replace acpi_lock with I2C bus lock"
efi_free_boot_services() frees memory occupied by EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_CODE
and EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA using memblock_free_late().
There are two issue with that: memblock_free_late() should be used for
memory allocated with memblock_alloc() while the memory reserved with
memblock_reserve() should be freed with free_reserved_area().
More acutely, with CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT=y
efi_free_boot_services() is called before deferred initialization of the
memory map is complete.
Benjamin Herrenschmidt reports that this causes a leak of ~140MB of
RAM on EC2 t3a.nano instances which only have 512MB or RAM.
If the freed memory resides in the areas that memory map for them is
still uninitialized, they won't be actually freed because
memblock_free_late() calls memblock_free_pages() and the latter skips
uninitialized pages.
Using free_reserved_area() at this point is also problematic because
__free_page() accesses the buddy of the freed page and that again might
end up in uninitialized part of the memory map.
Delaying the entire efi_free_boot_services() could be problematic
because in addition to freeing boot services memory it updates
efi.memmap without any synchronization and that's undesirable late in
boot when there is concurrency.
More robust approach is to only defer freeing of the EFI boot services
memory.
Split efi_free_boot_services() in two. First efi_unmap_boot_services()
collects ranges that should be freed into an array then
efi_free_boot_services() later frees them after deferred init is complete.

- Fix SEV guest boot failures in certain circumstances, due to
very early code relying on a BSS-zeroed variable that isn't
actually zeroed yet an may contain non-zero bootup values
Move the variable into the .data section go gain even earlier
zeroing
- Expose & allow the IBPB-on-Entry feature on SNP guests, which

caution
- Fix O= build failure when CONFIG_EFI_SBAT_FILE is using relative
file paths
- Fix the various SNC (Sub-NUMA Clustering) topology enumeration
bugs/artifacts (sched-domain build errors mostly).
SNC enumeration data got more complicated with Granite Rapids X
(GNR) and Clearwater Forest X (CWF), which exposed these bugs
and made their effects more serious

Under rare circumstances, multiple udev threads can collect i801 device
info on boot and walk i801_acpi_io_handler somewhat concurrently. The
first will note the area is reserved by acpi to prevent further touches.
This ultimately causes the area to be deregistered. The second will
enter i801_acpi_io_handler after the area is unregistered but before a
check can be made that the area is unregistered. i2c_lock_bus relies on
the now unregistered area containing lock_ops to lock the bus. The end
result is a kernel panic on boot with the following backtrace;

The kernel panic is mitigated by setting limiting the count of udev
children to 1. Revert to using the acpi_lock to continue protecting
marking the area as owned by firmware without relying on a lock in
a potentially unmapped region of memory.

Pull timer fix from Ingo Molnar:
"Make clock_adjtime() syscall timex validation slightly more permissive
for auxiliary clocks, to not reject syscalls based on the status field
that do not try to modify the status field.
This makes the ABI behavior in clock_adjtime() consistent with
CLOCK_REALTIME"

timekeeping: Fix timex status validation for auxiliary clocks
The unwinder code in libgcc has a long standing bug which causes it to
fail to pick up the signal frame CFI flag. This is a generic bug
across all platforms.
It affects the __kernel_sigreturn and __kernel_rt_sigreturn vdso entry
points on i386. The x86-64 kernel doesn't provide a sigreturn stub,
and so there is no kernel-provided code that is affected on x86-64.
libgcc does have a legacy fallback path which happens to work as long
as the bytes immediately before each of the sigreturn functions fall
outside any function. This patch adds a nop before the ALIGN to each
of the sigreturn stubs to ensure that this is, indeed, the case.
The rest of the patch is just a comment which documents the invariants
that need to be maintained for this legacy path to work correctly.
This is a manifest bug: in the current vdso, __kernel_vsyscall is a
multiple of 16 bytes long and thus __kernel_sigreturn does not have
any padding in front of it.
