arch_kexec_protect_crashkres() and arch_kexec_unprotect_crashkres()
are meant to be called by kexec_load() in order to protect the memory
allocated for crash dump kernel once the image is loaded.
The protection is implemented by unmapping the relevant segments in crash
dump kernel memory, rather than making it read-only as other archs do,
to prevent coherency issues due to potential cache aliasing (with
mismatched attributes).
Page-level mappings are consistently used here so that we can change
the attributes of segments in page granularity as well as shrink the region
also in page granularity through /sys/kernel/kexec_crash_size, putting
the freed memory back to buddy system.

This is the third attempt at enabling the use of contiguous hints for
kernel mappings. The most recent attempt 0bfc445dec was reverted after
it turned out that updating permission attributes on live contiguous ranges
may result in TLB conflicts. So this time, the contiguous hint is not set
for .rodata or for the linear alias of .text/.rodata, both of which are
mapped read-write initially, and remapped read-only at a later stage.
(Note that the latter region could also be unmapped and remapped again
with updated permission attributes, given that the region, while live, is
only mapped for the convenience of the hibernation code, but that also
means the TLB footprint is negligible anyway, so why bother)
This enables the following contiguous range sizes for the virtual mapping
of the kernel image, and for the linear mapping:
granule size | cont PTE | cont PMD |
-------------+------------+------------+
4 KB | 64 KB | 32 MB |
16 KB | 2 MB | 1 GB* |
64 KB | 2 MB | 16 GB* |
* Only when built for 3 or more levels of translation. This is due to the
fact that a 2 level configuration only consists of PGDs and PTEs, and the
added complexity of dealing with folded PMDs is not justified considering
that 16 GB contiguous ranges are likely to be ignored by the hardware (and
16k/2 levels is a niche configuration)

This reverts commit 0bfc445dec.
When we change the permissions of regions mapped using contiguous
entries, the architecture requires us to follow a Break-Before-Make
strategy, breaking *all* associated entries before we can change any of
the following properties from the entries:
- presence of the contiguous bit
- output address
- attributes
- permissiones
Failure to do so can result in a number of problems (e.g. TLB conflict
aborts and/or erroneous results from TLB lookups).
See ARM DDI 0487A.k_iss10775, "Misprogramming of the Contiguous bit",
page D4-1762.
We do not take this into account when altering the permissions of kernel
segments in mark_rodata_ro(), where we change the permissions of live
contiguous entires one-by-one, leaving them transiently inconsistent.
This has been observed to result in failures on some fast model
configurations.
Unfortunately, we cannot follow Break-Before-Make here as we'd have to
unmap kernel text and data used to perform the sequence.
For the timebeing, revert commit 0bfc445dec so as to avoid issues
resulting from this misuse of the contiguous bit.

As Kees Cook notes in the ARM counterpart of this patch [0]:
The _etext position is defined to be the end of the kernel text code,
and should not include any part of the data segments. This interferes
with things that might check memory ranges and expect executable code
up to _etext.
In particular, Kees is referring to the HARDENED_USERCOPY patch set [1],
which rejects attempts to call copy_to_user() on kernel ranges containing
executable code, but does allow access to the .rodata segment. Regardless
of whether one may or may not agree with the distinction, it makes sense
for _etext to have the same meaning across architectures.
So let's put _etext where it belongs, between .text and .rodata, and fix
up existing references to use __init_begin instead, which unlike _end_rodata
includes the exception and notes sections as well.
The _etext references in kaslr.c are left untouched, since its references
to [_stext, _etext) are meant to capture potential jump instruction targets,
and so disregarding .rodata is actually an improvement here.

add up to 2 MB (in case of CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA=y) of additional
padding to the uncompressed kernel Image.
Also, on 4 KB granule kernels, the 4 KB misalignment of .text forces us to
map the adjacent 56 KB of code without the PTE_CONT attribute, and since
this region contains things like the vector table and the GIC interrupt
handling entry point, this region is likely to benefit from the reduced TLB

This adds support for KASLR is implemented, based on entropy provided by
the bootloader in the /chosen/kaslr-seed DT property. Depending on the size
of the address space (VA_BITS) and the page size, the entropy in the
virtual displacement is up to 13 bits (16k/2 levels) and up to 25 bits (all
4 levels), with the sidenote that displacements that result in the kernel
image straddling a 1GB/32MB/512MB alignment boundary (for 4KB/16KB/64KB
granule kernels, respectively) are not allowed, and will be rounded up to
an acceptable value.
If CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL is enabled, the module region is
randomized independently from the core kernel. This makes it less likely
that the location of core kernel data structures can be determined by an
adversary, but causes all function calls from modules into the core kernel
to be resolved via entries in the module PLTs.
If CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL is not enabled, the module region is
randomized by choosing a page aligned 128 MB region inside the interval
[_etext - 128 MB, _stext + 128 MB). This gives between 10 and 14 bits of
entropy (depending on page size), independently of the kernel randomization,
but still guarantees that modules are within the range of relative branch
and jump instructions (with the caveat that, since the module region is
shared with other uses of the vmalloc area, modules may need to be loaded
further away if the module region is exhausted)

This relaxes the kernel Image placement requirements, so that it
may be placed at any 2 MB aligned offset in physical memory.
This is accomplished by ignoring PHYS_OFFSET when installing
memblocks, and accounting for the apparent virtual offset of
the kernel Image. As a result, virtual address references
below PAGE_OFFSET are correctly mapped onto physical references
into the kernel Image regardless of where it sits in memory.
Special care needs to be taken for dealing with memory limits passed
via mem=, since the generic implementation clips memory top down, which
may clip the kernel image itself if it is loaded high up in memory. To
deal with this case, we simply add back the memory covering the kernel
image, which may result in more memory to be retained than was passed
as a mem= parameter.
Since mem= should not be considered a production feature, a panic notifier
handler is installed that dumps the memory limit at panic time if one was
set.

with PAGE_SIZE mappings since breaking down larger mappings
at runtime will lead to TLB conflicts. Check if debug_pagealloc
is enabled at runtime and if so, map everyting with PAGE_SIZE
pages. Implement the functions to actually map/unmap the
pages at runtime.

create_mapping is only used in fixmap_remap_fdt. All the create_mapping
calls need to happen on existing translation table pages without
additional allocations. Rather than have an alloc function be called
and fail, just set it to NULL and catch its use. Also change
the name to create_mapping_noalloc to better capture what exactly is
going on.

At boot we may change the granularity of the tables mapping the kernel
(by splitting or making sections). This may happen when we create the
linear mapping (in __map_memblock), or at any point we try to apply
fine-grained permissions to the kernel (e.g. fixup_executable,
mark_rodata_ro, fixup_init).
Changing the active page tables in this manner may result in multiple
entries for the same address being allocated into TLBs, risking problems
such as TLB conflict aborts or issues derived from the amalgamation of
TLB entries. Generally, a break-before-make (BBM) approach is necessary
to avoid conflicts, but we cannot do this for the kernel tables as it
risks unmapping text or data being used to do so.
Instead, we can create a new set of tables from scratch in the safety of
the existing mappings, and subsequently migrate over to these using the
new cpu_replace_ttbr1 helper, which avoids the two sets of tables being
active simultaneously.
To avoid issues when we later modify permissions of the page tables
(e.g. in fixup_init), we must create the page tables at a granularity
such that later modification does not result in splitting of tables.
This patch applies this strategy, creating a new set of fine-grained
page tables from scratch, and safely migrating to them. The existing
fixmap and kasan shadow page tables are reused in the new fine-grained
tables.

To allow us to initialise pgdirs which are fixmapped, allow explicitly
passing a pgdir rather than an mm. A new __create_pgd_mapping function
is added for this, with existing __create_mapping callers migrated to
this.
The mm argument was previously only used at the top level. Now that it
is redundant at all levels, it is removed. To indicate its new found
similarity to alloc_init_{pud,pmd,pte}, __create_mapping is renamed to
init_pgd.

Now that create_mapping uses fixmap slots to modify pte, pmd, and pud
entries, we can access page tables anywhere in physical memory,
regardless of the extent of the linear mapping.
Given that, we no longer need to limit memblock allocations during page
table creation, and can leave the limit as its default
MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE.
We never add memory which will fall outside of the linear map range
given phys_offset and MAX_MEMBLOCK_ADDR are configured appropriately, so
any tables we create will fall in the linear map of the final tables.

As a preparatory step to allow us to allocate early page tables from
unmapped memory using memblock_alloc, modify the __create_mapping
callees to map and unmap the tables they modify using fixmap entries.
All but the top-level pgd initialisation is performed via the fixmap.
Subsequent patches will inject the pgd physical address, and migrate to
using the FIX_PGD slot.

When we "upgrade" to a section mapping, we free any table we made
redundant by giving it back to memblock. To get the PA, we acquire the
physical address and convert this to a VA, then subsequently convert
this back to a PA.
This works currently, but will not work if the tables are not accessed
via linear map VAs (e.g. is we use fixmap slots).
This patch uses {pmd,pud}_page_paddr to acquire the PA. This avoids the
__pa(__va()) round trip, saving some work and avoiding reliance on the
linear mapping.

During boot we leave the idmap in place until paging_init, as we
previously had to wait for the zero page to become allocated and
accessible.
Now that we have a statically-allocated zero page, we can uninstall the
idmap much earlier in the boot process, making it far easier to spot
accidental use of physical addresses. This also brings the cold boot
path in line with the secondary boot path.

Currently the zero page is set up in paging_init, and thus we cannot use
the zero page earlier. We use the zero page as a reserved TTBR value
from which no TLB entries may be allocated (e.g. when uninstalling the
idmap). To enable such usage earlier (as may be required for invasive
changes to the kernel page tables), and to minimise the time that the
idmap is active, we need to be able to use the zero page before
paging_init.
This patch follows the example set by x86, by allocating the zero page
at compile time, in .bss. This means that the zero page itself is
available immediately upon entry to start_kernel (as we zero .bss before
this), and also means that the zero page takes up no space in the raw
Image binary. The associated struct page is allocated in bootmem_init,
and remains unavailable until this time.
Outside of arch code, the only users of empty_zero_page assume that the
empty_zero_page symbol refers to the zeroed memory itself, and that
ZERO_PAGE(x) must be used to acquire the associated struct page,
following the example of x86. This patch also brings arm64 inline with
these assumptions.

We pass a size parameter to early_alloc and late_alloc, but these are
only ever used to allocate single pages. In late_alloc we always
allocate a single page.
Both allocators provide us with zeroed pages (such that all entries are
invalid), but we have no barriers between allocating a page and adding
that page to existing (live) tables. A concurrent page table walk may
see stale data, leading to a number of issues.
This patch specialises the two allocators for page tables. The size
parameter is removed and the necessary dsb(ishst) is folded into each.
To make it clear that the functions are intended for use for page table
allocation, they are renamed to {early,late}_pgtable_alloc, with the
related function pointed renamed to pgtable_alloc.
As the dsb(ishst) is now in the allocator, the existing barrier for the
zero page is redundant and thus is removed. The previously missing
include of barrier.h is added.
