This patch uses the cpufeatures framework to determine common SVE
capabilities and vector lengths, and configures the runtime SVE
support code appropriately.
ZCR_ELx is not really a feature register, but it is convenient to
use it as a template for recording the maximum vector length
supported by a CPU, using the LEN field. This field is similar to
a feature field in that it is a contiguous bitfield for which we
want to determine the minimum system-wide value. This patch adds
ZCR as a pseudo-register in cpuinfo/cpufeatures, with appropriate
custom code to populate it. Finding the minimum supported value of
the LEN field is left to the cpufeatures framework in the usual
way.
The meaning of ID_AA64ZFR0_EL1 is not architecturally defined yet,
so for now we just require it to be zero.
Note that much of this code is dormant and SVE still won't be used
yet, since system_supports_sve() remains hardwired to false.

This patch implements the core logic for changing a task's vector
length on request from userspace. This will be used by the ptrace
and prctl frontends that are implemented in later patches.
The SVE architecture permits, but does not require, implementations
to support vector lengths that are not a power of two. To handle
this, logic is added to check a requested vector length against a
possibly sparse bitmap of available vector lengths at runtime, so
that the best supported value can be chosen.

This patch implements support for saving and restoring the SVE
registers around signals.
A fixed-size header struct sve_context is always included in the
signal frame encoding the thread's vector length at the time of
signal delivery, optionally followed by a variable-layout structure
encoding the SVE registers.
Because of the need to preserve backwards compatibility, the FPSIMD
view of the SVE registers is always dumped as a struct
fpsimd_context in the usual way, in addition to any sve_context.
The SVE vector registers are dumped in full, including bits 127:0
of each register which alias the corresponding FPSIMD vector
registers in the hardware. To avoid any ambiguity about which
alias to restore during sigreturn, the kernel always restores bits
127:0 of each SVE vector register from the fpsimd_context in the
signal frame (which must be present): userspace needs to take this
into account if it wants to modify the SVE vector register contents
on return from a signal.
FPSR and FPCR, which are used by both FPSIMD and SVE, are not
included in sve_context because they are always present in
fpsimd_context anyway.
For signal delivery, a new helper
fpsimd_signal_preserve_current_state() is added to update _both_
the FPSIMD and SVE views in the task struct, to make it easier to
populate this information into the signal frame. Because of the
redundancy between the two views of the state, only one is updated
otherwise.

It's desirable to be able to reset the vector length to some sane
default for new processes, since the new binary and its libraries
may or may not be SVE-aware.
This patch tracks the desired post-exec vector length (if any) in a
new thread member sve_vl_onexec, and adds a new thread flag
TIF_SVE_VL_INHERIT to control whether to inherit or reset the
vector length. Currently these are inactive. Subsequent patches
will provide the capability to configure them.

This patch adds the core support for switching and managing the SVE
architectural state of user tasks.
Calls to the existing FPSIMD low-level save/restore functions are
factored out as new functions task_fpsimd_{save,load}(), since SVE
now dynamically may or may not need to be handled at these points
depending on the kernel configuration, hardware features discovered
at boot, and the runtime state of the task. To make these
decisions as fast as possible, const cpucaps are used where
feasible, via the system_supports_sve() helper.
The SVE registers are only tracked for threads that have explicitly
used SVE, indicated by the new thread flag TIF_SVE. Otherwise, the
FPSIMD view of the architectural state is stored in
thread.fpsimd_state as usual.
When in use, the SVE registers are not stored directly in
thread_struct due to their potentially large and variable size.
Because the task_struct slab allocator must be configured very
early during kernel boot, it is also tricky to configure it
correctly to match the maximum vector length provided by the
hardware, since this depends on examining secondary CPUs as well as
the primary. Instead, a pointer sve_state in thread_struct points
to a dynamically allocated buffer containing the SVE register data,
and code is added to allocate and free this buffer at appropriate
times.
TIF_SVE is set when taking an SVE access trap from userspace, if
suitable hardware support has been detected. This enables SVE for
the thread: a subsequent return to userspace will disable the trap
accordingly. If such a trap is taken without sufficient system-
wide hardware support, SIGILL is sent to the thread instead as if
an undefined instruction had been executed: this may happen if
userspace tries to use SVE in a system where not all CPUs support
it for example.
The kernel will clear TIF_SVE and disable SVE for the thread
whenever an explicit syscall is made by userspace. For backwards
compatibility reasons and conformance with the spirit of the base
AArch64 procedure call standard, the subset of the SVE register
state that aliases the FPSIMD registers is still preserved across a
syscall even if this happens. The remainder of the SVE register
state logically becomes zero at syscall entry, though the actual
zeroing work is currently deferred until the thread next tries to
use SVE, causing another trap to the kernel. This implementation
is suboptimal: in the future, the fastpath case may be optimised
to zero the registers in-place and leave SVE enabled for the task,
where beneficial.
TIF_SVE is also cleared in the following slowpath cases, which are
taken as reasonable hints that the task may no longer use SVE:
* exec
* fork and clone
Code is added to sync data between thread.fpsimd_state and
thread.sve_state whenever enabling/disabling SVE, in a manner
consistent with the SVE architectural programmer's model.

The existing FPSIMD context switch code contains a couple of
instances of {set,clear}_ti_thread(task_thread_info(task)). Since
there are thread flag manipulators that operate directly on
task_struct, this verbosity isn't strictly needed.
For consistency, this patch simplifies the affected calls. This

A couple of FPSIMD exception handling functions that are called
from entry.S are currently not annotated as such.
This is not a big deal since asmlinkage does nothing on arm/arm64,
but fixing the annotations is more consistent and may help avoid
future surprises.
This patch adds appropriate asmlinkage annotations for
do_fpsimd_acc() and do_fpsimd_exc().

We register the pm/hotplug callbacks for FPSIMD as late_initcall,
which happens after the userspace is active (from initramfs via
populate_rootfs, a rootfs_initcall). Make sure we are ready even
before the userspace could potentially use it, by promoting to
a core_initcall.

Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
|

Support for kernel-mode NEON to be nested and/or used in hardirq
context adds significant complexity, and the benefits may be
marginal. In practice, kernel-mode NEON is not used in hardirq
context, and is rarely used in softirq context (by certain mac80211
drivers).
This patch implements an arm64 may_use_simd() function to allow
clients to check whether kernel-mode NEON is usable in the current
context, and simplifies kernel_neon_{begin,end}() to handle only
saving of the task FPSIMD state (if any). Without nesting, there
is no other state to save.
The partial fpsimd save/restore functions become redundant as a
result of these changes, so they are removed too.
The save/restore model is changed to operate directly on
task_struct without additional percpu storage. This simplifies the
code and saves a bit of memory, but means that softirqs must now be
disabled when manipulating the task fpsimd state from task context:
correspondingly, preempt_{en,dis}sable() calls are upgraded to
local_bh_{en,dis}able() as appropriate. fpsimd_thread_switch()
already runs with hardirqs disabled and so is already protected
from softirqs.
These changes should make it easier to support kernel-mode NEON in
the presence of the Scalable Vector extension in the future.

In order to be able to cope with kernel-mode NEON being unavailable
in hardirq/nmi context and non-nestable, we need special handling
for EFI runtime service calls that may be made during an interrupt
that interrupted a kernel_neon_begin()..._end() block. This will
occur if the kernel tries to write diagnostic data to EFI
persistent storage during a panic triggered by an NMI for example.
EFI runtime services specify an ABI that clobbers the FPSIMD state,
rather than being able to use it optionally as an accelerator.
This means that EFI is really a special case and can be handled
specially.
To enable EFI calls from interrupts, this patch creates dedicated
__efi_fpsimd_{begin,end}() helpers solely for this purpose, which
save/restore to a separate percpu buffer if called in a context
where kernel_neon_begin() is not usable.

__this_cpu_ ops are not used consistently with regard to this_cpu_
ops in a couple of places in fpsimd.c.
Since preemption is explicitly disabled in
fpsimd_restore_current_state() and fpsimd_update_current_state(),
this patch converts this_cpu_ ops in those functions to __this_cpu_
ops. This doesn't save cost on arm64, but benefits from additional
assertions in the core code.

The arm64 kernel assumes that FP/ASIMD units are always present
and accesses the FP/ASIMD specific registers unconditionally. This
could cause problems when they are absent. This patch adds the
support for kernel handling systems without FP/ASIMD by skipping the
register access within the kernel. For kvm, we trap the accesses
to FP/ASIMD and inject an undefined instruction exception to the VM.
The callers of the exported kernel_neon_begin_partial() should
make sure that the FP/ASIMD is supported.

When a task calls execve(), its FP/SIMD state is flushed so that
none of the original program state is observeable by the incoming
program.
However, since this flushing consists of setting the in-memory copy
of the FP/SIMD state to all zeroes, the CPU field is set to CPU 0 as
well, which indicates to the lazy FP/SIMD preserve/restore code that
the FP/SIMD state does not need to be reread from memory if the task
is scheduled again on CPU 0 without any other tasks having entered
userland (or used the FP/SIMD in kernel mode) on the same CPU in the
mean time. If this happens, the FP/SIMD state of the old program will
still be present in the registers when the new program starts.
So set the CPU field to the invalid value of NR_CPUS when performing
the flush, by calling fpsimd_flush_task_state().

Now FPSIMD don't handle HOTPLUG_CPU. This introduces bug after cpu down/up process.
After cpu down/up process, the FPSMID hardware register is default value, not any
process's fpsimd context. when CPU_DEAD set cpu's fpsimd_state to NULL, it will force
to load the fpsimd context for the thread, to avoid the chance to skip to load the context.
If process A is the last user process on CPU N before cpu down, and the first user process
on the same CPU N after cpu up, A's fpsimd_state.cpu is the current cpu id,
and per_cpu(fpsimd_last_state) points A's fpsimd_state, so kernel will not reload the
context during it return to user space.

Now arm64 defers reloading FPSIMD state, but this optimization also
introduces the bug after cpu resume back from low power mode.
The reason is after the cpu has been powered off, s/w need set the
cpu's fpsimd_last_state to NULL so that it will force to reload
FPSIMD state for the thread, otherwise there has the chance to meet
the condition for both the task's fpsimd_state.cpu field contains the
id of the current cpu, and the cpu's fpsimd_last_state per-cpu variable
points to the task's fpsimd_state, so finally kernel will skip to reload
the context during it return back to userland.

If a task gets scheduled out and back in again and nothing has touched
its FPSIMD state in the mean time, there is really no reason to reload
it from memory. Similarly, repeated calls to kernel_neon_begin() and
kernel_neon_end() will preserve and restore the FPSIMD state every time.
This patch defers the FPSIMD state restore to the last possible moment,
i.e., right before the task returns to userland. If a task does not return to
userland at all (for any reason), the existing FPSIMD state is preserved
and may be reused by the owning task if it gets scheduled in again on the
same CPU.
This patch adds two more functions to abstract away from straight FPSIMD
register file saves and restores:
- fpsimd_restore_current_state -> ensure current's FPSIMD state is loaded
- fpsimd_flush_task_state -> invalidate live copies of a task's FPSIMD state

There are two tacit assumptions in the FPSIMD handling code that will no longer
hold after the next patch that optimizes away some FPSIMD state restores:
. the FPSIMD registers of this CPU contain the userland FPSIMD state of
task 'current';
. when switching to a task, its FPSIMD state will always be restored from
memory.
This patch adds the following functions to abstract away from straight FPSIMD
register file saves and restores:
- fpsimd_preserve_current_state -> ensure current's FPSIMD state is saved
- fpsimd_update_current_state -> replace current's FPSIMD state
Where necessary, the signal handling and fork code are updated to use the above
wrappers instead of poking into the FPSIMD registers directly.
