On the affected Cortex-A76 cores (r0p0 to r3p0), if a virtual address for a cacheable mapping of a location is being accessed by a core while another core is remapping the virtual address to a new physical page using the recommended break-before-make sequence, then under very rare circumstances TLBI+DSB completes before a read using the translation being invalidated has been observed by other observers.

If unsure, say Y. config ARM64_ERRATUM_1463225 bool "Cortex-A76: Software Step might prevent interrupt recognition" default y help This option adds a workaround for Arm Cortex-A76 erratum 1463225. On the affected Cortex-A76 cores (r0p0 to r3p1), software stepping of a system call instruction (SVC) can prevent recognition of subsequent interrupts when software stepping is disabled in the exception handler of the system call and either kernel debugging is enabled or VHE is in use.

The fix is to invalidate the icache when changing the mm context. If unsure, say Y. config CAVIUM_ERRATUM_30115 bool "Cavium erratum 30115: Guest may disable interrupts in host" default y help On ThunderX T88 pass 1.x through 2.2, T81 pass 1.0 through 1.2, and T83 Pass 1.0, KVM guest execution may disable interrupts in host. Trapping both GICv3 group-0 and group-1 accesses sidesteps the issue. If unsure, say Y. config CAVIUM_TX2_ERRATUM_219 bool "Cavium ThunderX2 erratum 219: PRFM between TTBR change and ISB fails" default y help On Cavium ThunderX2, a load, store or prefetch instruction between a TTBR update and the corresponding context synchronizing operation can cause a spurious Data Abort to be delivered to any hardware thread in the CPU core. Work around the issue by avoiding the problematic code sequence and trapping KVM guest TTBRx_EL1 writes to EL2 when SMT is enabled. The trap handler performs the corresponding register access, skips the instruction and ensures context synchronization by virtue of the exception return. If unsure, say Y. config QCOM_FALKOR_ERRATUM_1003 bool "Falkor E1003: Incorrect translation due to ASID change" default y help On Falkor v1, an incorrect ASID may be cached in the TLB when ASID and BADDR are changed together in TTBRx_EL1. Since we keep the ASID in TTBR1_EL1, this situation only occurs in the entry trampoline and then only for entries in the walk cache, since the leaf translation is unchanged. Work around the erratum by invalidating the walk cache entries for the trampoline before entering the kernel proper. config ARM64_WORKAROUND_REPEAT_TLBI bool config QCOM_FALKOR_ERRATUM_1009 bool "Falkor E1009: Prematurely complete a DSB after a TLBI" default y select ARM64_WORKAROUND_REPEAT_TLBI help On Falkor v1, the CPU may prematurely complete a DSB following a TLBI xxIS invalidate maintenance operation.

On some variants of the Fujitsu-A64FX cores ver(1.0, 1.1), memory accesses may cause undefined fault (Data abort, DFSC=0b111111). This fault occurs under a specific hardware condition when a load/store instruction performs an address translation using: case-1 TTBR0_EL1 with TCR_EL1.NFD0 == 1. case-2 TTBR0_EL2 with TCR_EL2.NFD0 == 1. case-3 TTBR1_EL1 with TCR_EL1.NFD1 == 1. case-4 TTBR1_EL2 with TCR_EL2.NFD1 == 1.

By using pipes or other transports made available to the process as file descriptors supporting the read/write syscalls, it's possible to isolate those applications in their own address space using seccomp. Once seccomp is enabled via prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP), it cannot be disabled and the task is only allowed to execute a few safe syscalls defined by each seccomp mode. config PARAVIRT bool "Enable paravirtualization code" help This changes the kernel so it can modify itself when it is run under a hypervisor, potentially improving performance significantly over full virtualization. config PARAVIRT_TIME_ACCOUNTING bool "Paravirtual steal time accounting" select PARAVIRT help Select this option to enable fine granularity task steal time accounting. Time spent executing other tasks in parallel with the current vCPU is discounted from the vCPU power. To account for that, there can be a small performance impact. If in doubt, say N here. config KEXEC depends on PM_SLEEP_SMP select KEXEC_CORE bool "kexec system call" ---help--- kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux. config KEXEC_FILE bool "kexec file based system call" select KEXEC_CORE help This is new version of kexec system call. This system call is file based and takes file descriptors as system call argument for kernel and initramfs as opposed to list of segments as accepted by previous system call. config KEXEC_SIG bool "Verify kernel signature during kexec_file_load() syscall" depends on KEXEC_FILE help Select this option to verify a signature with loaded kernel image. If configured, any attempt of loading a image without valid signature will fail. In addition to that option, you need to enable signature verification for the corresponding kernel image type being loaded in order for this to work. config KEXEC_IMAGE_VERIFY_SIG bool "Enable Image signature verification support" default y depends on KEXEC_SIG depends on EFI && SIGNED_PE_FILE_VERIFICATION help Enable Image signature verification support. comment "Support for PE file signature verification disabled" depends on KEXEC_SIG depends on !EFI || !SIGNED_PE_FILE_VERIFICATION config CRASH_DUMP bool "Build kdump crash kernel" help Generate crash dump after being started by kexec. This should be normally only set in special crash dump kernels which are loaded in the main kernel with kexec-tools into a specially reserved region and then later executed after a crash by kdump/kexec. For more details see Documentation/admin-guide/kdump/kdump.rst config XEN_DOM0 def_bool y depends on XEN config XEN bool "Xen guest support on ARM64" depends on ARM64 && OF select SWIOTLB_XEN select PARAVIRT help Say Y if you want to run Linux in a Virtual Machine on Xen on ARM64. config FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER int default "14" if (ARM64_64K_PAGES && TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE) default "12" if (ARM64_16K_PAGES && TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE) default "11" help The kernel memory allocator divides physically contiguous memory blocks into "zones", where each zone is a power of two number of pages. This option selects the largest power of two that the kernel keeps in the memory allocator. If you need to allocate very large blocks of physically contiguous memory, then you may need to increase this value. This config option is actually maximum order plus one. For example, a value of 11 means that the largest free memory block is 2^10 pages. We make sure that we can allocate upto a HugePage size for each configuration. Hence we have : MAX_ORDER = (PMD_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + 1 => PAGE_SHIFT - 2 However for 4K, we choose a higher default value, 11 as opposed to 10, giving us 4M allocations matching the default size used by generic code. config UNMAP_KERNEL_AT_EL0 bool "Unmap kernel when running in userspace (aka \"KAISER\")" if EXPERT default y help Speculation attacks against some high-performance processors can be used to bypass MMU permission checks and leak kernel data to userspace. This can be defended against by unmapping the kernel when running in userspace, mapping it back in on exception entry via a trampoline page in the vector table. If unsure, say Y. config HARDEN_BRANCH_PREDICTOR bool "Harden the branch predictor against aliasing attacks" if EXPERT default y help Speculation attacks against some high-performance processors rely on being able to manipulate the branch predictor for a victim context by executing aliasing branches in the attacker context. Such attacks can be partially mitigated against by clearing internal branch predictor state and limiting the prediction logic in some situations. This config option will take CPU-specific actions to harden the branch predictor against aliasing attacks and may rely on specific instruction sequences or control bits being set by the system firmware. If unsure, say Y. config HARDEN_EL2_VECTORS bool "Harden EL2 vector mapping against system register leak" if EXPERT default y help Speculation attacks against some high-performance processors can be used to leak privileged information such as the vector base register, resulting in a potential defeat of the EL2 layout randomization. This config option will map the vectors to a fixed location, independent of the EL2 code mapping, so that revealing VBAR_EL2 to an attacker does not give away any extra information. This only gets enabled on affected CPUs. If unsure, say Y. config ARM64_SSBD bool "Speculative Store Bypass Disable" if EXPERT default y help This enables mitigation of the bypassing of previous stores by speculative loads. If unsure, say Y. config RODATA_FULL_DEFAULT_ENABLED bool "Apply r/o permissions of VM areas also to their linear aliases" default y help Apply read-only attributes of VM areas to the linear alias of the backing pages as well. This prevents code or read-only data from being modified (inadvertently or intentionally) via another mapping of the same memory page. This additional enhancement can be turned off at runtime by passing rodata=[off|on] (and turned on with rodata=full if this option is set to 'n') This requires the linear region to be mapped down to pages, which may adversely affect performance in some cases. config ARM64_SW_TTBR0_PAN bool "Emulate Privileged Access Never using TTBR0_EL1 switching" help Enabling this option prevents the kernel from accessing user-space memory directly by pointing TTBR0_EL1 to a reserved zeroed area and reserved ASID. The user access routines restore the valid TTBR0_EL1 temporarily. config ARM64_TAGGED_ADDR_ABI bool "Enable the tagged user addresses syscall ABI" default y help When this option is enabled, user applications can opt in to a relaxed ABI via prctl() allowing tagged addresses to be passed to system calls as pointer arguments. For details, see Documentation/arm64/tagged-address-abi.rst. menuconfig COMPAT bool "Kernel support for 32-bit EL0" depends on ARM64_4K_PAGES || EXPERT select COMPAT_BINFMT_ELF if BINFMT_ELF select HAVE_UID16 select OLD_SIGSUSPEND3 select COMPAT_OLD_SIGACTION help This option enables support for a 32-bit EL0 running under a 64-bit kernel at EL1. AArch32-specific components such as system calls, the user helper functions, VFP support and the ptrace interface are handled appropriately by the kernel. If you use a page size other than 4KB (i.e, 16KB or 64KB), please be aware that you will only be able to execute AArch32 binaries that were compiled with page size aligned segments. If you want to execute 32-bit userspace applications, say Y. if COMPAT config KUSER_HELPERS bool "Enable kuser helpers page for 32-bit applications" default y help Warning: disabling this option may break 32-bit user programs. Provide kuser helpers to compat tasks. The kernel provides helper code to userspace in read only form at a fixed location to allow userspace to be independent of the CPU type fitted to the system. This permits binaries to be run on ARMv4 through to ARMv8 without modification. See Documentation/arm/kernel_user_helpers.rst for details. However, the fixed address nature of these helpers can be used by ROP (return orientated programming) authors when creating exploits. If all of the binaries and libraries which run on your platform are built specifically for your platform, and make no use of these helpers, then you can turn this option off to hinder such exploits. However, in that case, if a binary or library relying on those helpers is run, it will not function correctly. Say N here only if you are absolutely certain that you do not need these helpers; otherwise, the safe option is to say Y. config COMPAT_VDSO bool "Enable vDSO for 32-bit applications" depends on !CPU_BIG_ENDIAN && "$(CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT)" != "" select GENERIC_COMPAT_VDSO default y help Place in the process address space of 32-bit applications an ELF shared object providing fast implementations of gettimeofday and clock_gettime. You must have a 32-bit build of glibc 2.22 or later for programs to seamlessly take advantage of this. menuconfig ARMV8_DEPRECATED bool "Emulate deprecated/obsolete ARMv8 instructions" depends on SYSCTL help Legacy software support may require certain instructions that have been deprecated or obsoleted in the architecture. Enable this config to enable selective emulation of these features. If unsure, say Y if ARMV8_DEPRECATED config SWP_EMULATION bool "Emulate SWP/SWPB instructions" help ARMv8 obsoletes the use of A32 SWP/SWPB instructions such that they are always undefined. Say Y here to enable software emulation of these instructions for userspace using LDXR/STXR. In some older versions of glibc [<=2.8] SWP is used during futex trylock() operations with the assumption that the code will not be preempted. This invalid assumption may be more likely to fail with SWP emulation enabled, leading to deadlock of the user application. NOTE: when accessing uncached shared regions, LDXR/STXR rely on an external transaction monitoring block called a global monitor to maintain update atomicity. If your system does not implement a global monitor, this option can cause programs that perform SWP operations to uncached memory to deadlock. If unsure, say Y config CP15_BARRIER_EMULATION bool "Emulate CP15 Barrier instructions" help The CP15 barrier instructions - CP15ISB, CP15DSB, and CP15DMB - are deprecated in ARMv8 (and ARMv7). It is strongly recommended to use the ISB, DSB, and DMB instructions instead. Say Y here to enable software emulation of these instructions for AArch32 userspace code. When this option is enabled, CP15 barrier usage is traced which can help identify software that needs updating. If unsure, say Y config SETEND_EMULATION bool "Emulate SETEND instruction" help The SETEND instruction alters the data-endianness of the AArch32 EL0, and is deprecated in ARMv8. Say Y here to enable software emulation of the instruction for AArch32 userspace code. Note: All the cpus on the system must have mixed endian support at EL0 for this feature to be enabled. If a new CPU - which doesn't support mixed endian - is hotplugged in after this feature has been enabled, there could be unexpected results in the applications. If unsure, say Y endif endif menu "ARMv8.1 architectural features" config ARM64_HW_AFDBM bool "Support for hardware updates of the Access and Dirty page flags" default y help The ARMv8.1 architecture extensions introduce support for hardware updates of the access and dirty information in page table entries. When enabled in TCR_EL1 (HA and HD bits) on capable processors, accesses to pages with PTE_AF cleared will set this bit instead of raising an access flag fault. Similarly, writes to read-only pages with the DBM bit set will clear the read-only bit (AP[2]) instead of raising a permission fault. Kernels built with this configuration option enabled continue to work on pre-ARMv8.1 hardware and the performance impact is minimal. If unsure, say Y. config ARM64_PAN bool "Enable support for Privileged Access Never (PAN)" default y help Privileged Access Never (PAN; part of the ARMv8.1 Extensions) prevents the kernel or hypervisor from accessing user-space (EL0) memory directly. Choosing this option will cause any unprotected (not using copy_to_user et al) memory access to fail with a permission fault. The feature is detected at runtime, and will remain as a 'nop' instruction if the cpu does not implement the feature. config ARM64_LSE_ATOMICS bool "Atomic instructions" depends on JUMP_LABEL default y help As part of the Large System Extensions, ARMv8.1 introduces new atomic instructions that are designed specifically to scale in very large systems. Say Y here to make use of these instructions for the in-kernel atomic routines. This incurs a small overhead on CPUs that do not support these instructions and requires the kernel to be built with binutils >= 2.25 in order for the new instructions to be used. config ARM64_VHE bool "Enable support for Virtualization Host Extensions (VHE)" default y help Virtualization Host Extensions (VHE) allow the kernel to run directly at EL2 (instead of EL1) on processors that support it. This leads to better performance for KVM, as they reduce the cost of the world switch. Selecting this option allows the VHE feature to be detected at runtime, and does not affect processors that do not implement this feature. endmenu menu "ARMv8.2 architectural features" config ARM64_UAO bool "Enable support for User Access Override (UAO)" default y help User Access Override (UAO; part of the ARMv8.2 Extensions) causes the 'unprivileged' variant of the load/store instructions to be overridden to be privileged. This option changes get_user() and friends to use the 'unprivileged' variant of the load/store instructions. This ensures that user-space really did have access to the supplied memory. When addr_limit is set to kernel memory the UAO bit will be set, allowing privileged access to kernel memory. Choosing this option will cause copy_to_user() et al to use user-space memory permissions. The feature is detected at runtime, the kernel will use the regular load/store instructions if the cpu does not implement the feature. config ARM64_PMEM bool "Enable support for persistent memory" select ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API select ARCH_HAS_UACCESS_FLUSHCACHE help Say Y to enable support for the persistent memory API based on the ARMv8.2 DCPoP feature. The feature is detected at runtime, and the kernel will use DC CVAC operations if DC CVAP is not supported (following the behaviour of DC CVAP itself if the system does not define a point of persistence). config ARM64_RAS_EXTN bool "Enable support for RAS CPU Extensions" default y help CPUs that support the Reliability, Availability and Serviceability (RAS) Extensions, part of ARMv8.2 are able to track faults and errors, classify them and report them to software. On CPUs with these extensions system software can use additional barriers to determine if faults are pending and read the classification from a new set of registers. Selecting this feature will allow the kernel to use these barriers and access the new registers if the system supports the extension. Platform RAS features may additionally depend on firmware support. config ARM64_CNP bool "Enable support for Common Not Private (CNP) translations" default y depends on ARM64_PAN || !ARM64_SW_TTBR0_PAN help Common Not Private (CNP) allows translation table entries to be shared between different PEs in the same inner shareable domain, so the hardware can use this fact to optimise the caching of such entries in the TLB. Selecting this option allows the CNP feature to be detected at runtime, and does not affect PEs that do not implement this feature. endmenu menu "ARMv8.3 architectural features" config ARM64_PTR_AUTH bool "Enable support for pointer authentication" default y depends on !KVM || ARM64_VHE help Pointer authentication (part of the ARMv8.3 Extensions) provides instructions for signing and authenticating pointers against secret keys, which can be used to mitigate Return Oriented Programming (ROP) and other attacks. This option enables these instructions at EL0 (i.e. for userspace). Choosing this option will cause the kernel to initialise secret keys for each process at exec() time, with these keys being context-switched along with the process. The feature is detected at runtime. If the feature is not present in hardware it will not be advertised to userspace/KVM guest nor will it be enabled. However, KVM guest also require VHE mode and hence CONFIG_ARM64_VHE=y option to use this feature. endmenu config ARM64_SVE bool "ARM Scalable Vector Extension support" default y depends on !KVM || ARM64_VHE help The Scalable Vector Extension (SVE) is an extension to the AArch64 execution state which complements and extends the SIMD functionality of the base architecture to support much larger vectors and to enable additional vectorisation opportunities. To enable use of this extension on CPUs that implement it, say Y. On CPUs that support the SVE2 extensions, this option will enable those too. Note that for architectural reasons, firmware _must_ implement SVE support when running on SVE capable hardware. The required support is present in: * version 1.5 and later of the ARM Trusted Firmware * the AArch64 boot wrapper since commit 5e1261e08abf ("bootwrapper: SVE: Enable SVE for EL2 and below"). For other firmware implementations, consult the firmware documentation or vendor. If you need the kernel to boot on SVE-capable hardware with broken firmware, you may need to say N here until you get your firmware fixed. Otherwise, you may experience firmware panics or lockups when booting the kernel. If unsure and you are not observing these symptoms, you should assume that it is safe to say Y. CPUs that support SVE are architecturally required to support the Virtualization Host Extensions (VHE), so the kernel makes no provision for supporting SVE alongside KVM without VHE enabled. Thus, you will need to enable CONFIG_ARM64_VHE if you want to support KVM in the same kernel image. config ARM64_MODULE_PLTS bool "Use PLTs to allow module memory to spill over into vmalloc area" depends on MODULES select HAVE_MOD_ARCH_SPECIFIC help Allocate PLTs when loading modules so that jumps and calls whose targets are too far away for their relative offsets to be encoded in the instructions themselves can be bounced via veneers in the module's PLT. This allows modules to be allocated in the generic vmalloc area after the dedicated module memory area has been exhausted. When running with address space randomization (KASLR), the module region itself may be too far away for ordinary relative jumps and calls, and so in that case, module PLTs are required and cannot be disabled. Specific errata workaround(s) might also force module PLTs to be enabled (ARM64_ERRATUM_843419). config ARM64_PSEUDO_NMI bool "Support for NMI-like interrupts" select CONFIG_ARM_GIC_V3 help Adds support for mimicking Non-Maskable Interrupts through the use of GIC interrupt priority. This support requires version 3 or later of ARM GIC. This high priority configuration for interrupts needs to be explicitly enabled by setting the kernel parameter "irqchip.gicv3_pseudo_nmi" to 1. If unsure, say N if ARM64_PSEUDO_NMI config ARM64_DEBUG_PRIORITY_MASKING bool "Debug interrupt priority masking" help This adds runtime checks to functions enabling/disabling interrupts when using priority masking. The additional checks verify the validity of ICC_PMR_EL1 when calling concerned functions. If unsure, say N endif config RELOCATABLE bool select ARCH_HAS_RELR help This builds the kernel as a Position Independent Executable (PIE), which retains all relocation metadata required to relocate the kernel binary at runtime to a different virtual address than the address it was linked at. Since AArch64 uses the RELA relocation format, this requires a relocation pass at runtime even if the kernel is loaded at the same address it was linked at. config RANDOMIZE_BASE bool "Randomize the address of the kernel image" select ARM64_MODULE_PLTS if MODULES select RELOCATABLE help Randomizes the virtual address at which the kernel image is loaded, as a security feature that deters exploit attempts relying on knowledge of the location of kernel internals. It is the bootloader's job to provide entropy, by passing a random u64 value in /chosen/kaslr-seed at kernel entry. When booting via the UEFI stub, it will invoke the firmware's EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL implementation (if available) to supply entropy to the kernel proper. In addition, it will randomise the physical location of the kernel Image as well. If unsure, say N. config RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL bool "Randomize the module region over a 4 GB range" depends on RANDOMIZE_BASE default y help Randomizes the location of the module region inside a 4 GB window covering the core kernel. This way, it is less likely for modules to leak information about the location of core kernel data structures but it does imply that function calls between modules and the core kernel will need to be resolved via veneers in the module PLT. When this option is not set, the module region will be randomized over a limited range that contains the [_stext, _etext] interval of the core kernel, so branch relocations are always in range. config CC_HAVE_STACKPROTECTOR_SYSREG def_bool $(cc-option,-mstack-protector-guard=sysreg -mstack-protector-guard-reg=sp_el0 -mstack-protector-guard-offset=0) config STACKPROTECTOR_PER_TASK def_bool y depends on STACKPROTECTOR && CC_HAVE_STACKPROTECTOR_SYSREG endmenu menu "Boot options" config ARM64_ACPI_PARKING_PROTOCOL bool "Enable support for the ARM64 ACPI parking protocol" depends on ACPI help Enable support for the ARM64 ACPI parking protocol. If disabled the kernel will not allow booting through the ARM64 ACPI parking protocol even if the corresponding data is present in the ACPI MADT table. config CMDLINE string "Default kernel command string" default "" help Provide a set of default command-line options at build time by entering them here. As a minimum, you should specify the the root device (e.g. root=/dev/nfs). config CMDLINE_FORCE bool "Always use the default kernel command string" depends on CMDLINE != "" help Always use the default kernel command string, even if the boot loader passes other arguments to the kernel. This is useful if you cannot or don't want to change the command-line options your boot loader passes to the kernel. config EFI_STUB bool config EFI bool "UEFI runtime support" depends on OF && !CPU_BIG_ENDIAN depends on KERNEL_MODE_NEON select ARCH_SUPPORTS_ACPI select LIBFDT select UCS2_STRING select EFI_PARAMS_FROM_FDT select EFI_RUNTIME_WRAPPERS select EFI_STUB select EFI_ARMSTUB default y help This option provides support for runtime services provided by UEFI firmware (such as non-volatile variables, realtime clock, and platform reset). A UEFI stub is also provided to allow the kernel to be booted as an EFI application. This is only useful on systems that have UEFI firmware. config DMI bool "Enable support for SMBIOS (DMI) tables" depends on EFI default y help This enables SMBIOS/DMI feature for systems. This option is only useful on systems that have UEFI firmware.
