Vladimir Murzin 6849b5eba1 ARM: 8955/1: virt: Relax arch timer version check during early boot
Updates to the Generic Timer architecture allow ID_PFR1.GenTimer to
have values other than 0 or 1 while still preserving backward
compatibility. At the moment, Linux is quite strict in the way it
handles this field at early boot and will not configure arch timer if
it doesn't find the value 1.

Since here use ubfx for arch timer version extraction (hyb-stub build
with -march=armv7-a, so it is safe)

To help backports (even though the code was correct at the time of writing)

Russell King 1abd350237 ARM: align .data section
Robert Jarzmik reports that his PXA25x system fails to boot with 4.12,
failing at __flush_whole_cache in arch/arm/mm/proc-xscale.S:215:

   0xc0019e20 <+0>:     ldr     r1, [pc, #788]
   0xc0019e24 <+4>:     ldr     r0, [r1]	<== here

with r1 containing 0xc06f82cd, which is the address of "clean_addr".
Examination of the System.map shows:

c06f22c8 D user_pmd_table
c06f22cc d __warned.19178
c06f22cd d clean_addr

indicating that a .data.unlikely section has appeared just before the
.data section from proc-xscale.S.  According to objdump -h, it appears
that our assembly files default their .data alignment to 2**0, which
is bad news if the preceding .data section size is not power-of-2
aligned at link time.

Add the appropriate .align directives to all assembly files in arch/arm
that are missing them where we require an appropriate alignment.

Russell King 9da5ac236d ARM: soft-reboot into same mode that we entered the kernel
When we soft-reboot (eg, kexec) from one kernel into the next, we need
to ensure that we enter the new kernel in the same processor mode as
when we were entered, so that (eg) the new kernel can install its own
hypervisor - the old kernel's hypervisor will have been overwritten.

In order to do this, we need to pass a flag to cpu_reset() so it knows
what to do, and we need to modify the kernel's own hypervisor stub to
allow it to handle a soft-reboot.

As we are always guaranteed to install our own hypervisor if we're
entered in HYP32 mode, and KVM will have moved itself out of the way
on kexec/normal reboot, we can assume that our hypervisor is in place
when we want to kexec, so changing our hypervisor API should not be a
problem.

Robin Murphy 1527eda3ab ARM: 8600/1: Enforce some NS-SVC initialisation
Since the non-secure copies of banked registers lack architecturally
defined reset values, there is no actual guarantee when entering in Hyp
from secure-only firmware that the Non-Secure PL1 state will look the
way that kernel entry (in particular the decompressor stub) expects.
So far, we've been getting away with it thanks to implementation details
of ARMv7 cores and/or bootloader behaviour, but for the sake of forwards
compatibility let's try to ensure that we have a minimally sane state
before dropping down into it.

Linus Torvalds 66bb0aa077 Here are the PPC and ARM changes for KVM, which I separated because
they had small conflicts (respectively within KVM documentation,
 and with 3.16-rc changes).  Since they were all within the subsystem,
 I took care of them.
 
 Stephen Rothwell reported some snags in PPC builds, but they are all
 fixed now; the latest linux-next report was clean.
 
 New features for ARM include:
 - KVM VGIC v2 emulation on GICv3 hardware
 - Big-Endian support for arm/arm64 (guest and host)
 - Debug Architecture support for arm64 (arm32 is on Christoffer's todo list)
 
 And for PPC:
 - Book3S: Good number of LE host fixes, enable HV on LE
 - Book3S HV: Add in-guest debug support
 
 This release drops support for KVM on the PPC440.  As a result, the
 PPC merge removes more lines than it adds. :)
 
 I also included an x86 change, since Davidlohr tied it to an independent
 bug report and the reporter quickly provided a Tested-by; there was no
 reason to wait for -rc2.

Russell King 6ebbf2ce43 ARM: convert all "mov.* pc, reg" to "bx reg" for ARMv6+
ARMv6 and greater introduced a new instruction ("bx") which can be used
to return from function calls.  Recent CPUs perform better when the
"bx lr" instruction is used rather than the "mov pc, lr" instruction,
and this sequence is strongly recommended to be used by the ARM
architecture manual (section A.4.1.1).

We provide a new macro "ret" with all its variants for the condition
code which will resolve to the appropriate instruction.

Rather than doing this piecemeal, and miss some instances, change all
the "mov pc" instances to use the new macro, with the exception of
the "movs" instruction and the kprobes code.  This allows us to detect
the "mov pc, lr" case and fix it up - and also gives us the possibility
of deploying this for other registers depending on the CPU selection.

__hyp_stub_install duplicates quite a bit of safe_svcmode_maskall

safe_svcmode_maskall is called just after.

Furthermore, the way we build SPSR_hyp is buggy as we fail to mask
the interrupts, leading to interesting behaviours on TC2 + UEFI.

The fix is to simply remove this code and rely on safe_svcmode_maskall
to do the right thing.

Dave Martin 424e5994e6 ARM: zImage/virt: hyp mode entry support for the zImage loader
The zImage loader needs to turn on the MMU in order to take
advantage of caching while decompressing the zImage.  Running this
in hyp mode would require the LPAE pagetable format to be
supported; to avoid this complexity, this patch switches out of hyp
mode, and returns back to hyp mode just before booting the kernel.

This implementation assumes that the Hyp mode view of memory and the
PL1 view of memory are coherent, providing that the MMU and caches
are off in both, as required by the boot protocol.  The zImage
decompression code must drain the write buffer on completion anyway, and
entry into Hyp mode should flush any prefetch buffer, avoiding hazards
associated with local write buffers and the pipeline.

Dave Martin 80c59dafb1 ARM: virt: allow the kernel to be entered in HYP mode
This patch does two things:

  * Ensure that asynchronous aborts are masked at kernel entry.
    The bootloader should be masking these anyway, but this reduces
    the damage window just in case it doesn't.

  * Enter svc mode via exception return to ensure that CPU state is
    properly serialised.  This does not matter when switching from
    an ordinary privileged mode ("PL1" modes in ARMv7-AR rev C
    parlance), but it potentially does matter when switching from a
    another privileged mode such as hyp mode.

This should allow the kernel to boot safely either from svc mode or
hyp mode, even if no support for use of the ARM Virtualization
Extensions is built into the kernel.
