Merge tag 'riscv-for-linus-6.16-mw1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/riscv/linux
Pull RISC-V updates from Palmer Dabbelt:
- Support for the FWFT SBI extension, which is part of SBI 3.0 and a
dependency for many new SBI and ISA extensions
- Support for getrandom() in the VDSO
- Support for mseal
- Optimized routines for raid6 syndrome and recovery calculations
- kexec_file() supports loading Image-formatted kernel binaries
- Improvements to the instruction patching framework to allow for
atomic instruction patching, along with rules as to how systems need
to behave in order to function correctly
- Support for a handful of new ISA extensions: Svinval, Zicbop, Zabha,
some SiFive vendor extensions
- Various fixes and cleanups, including: misaligned access handling,
perf symbol mangling, module loading, PUD THPs, and improved uaccess
routines

In the case of RISC-V, 2 instructions, +AUIPC + JALR, are required to compose a function call. However, it is impossible +to patch 2 instructions and expect that a concurrent read-side executes them +without a race condition. This series makes atmoic code patching possible in +RISC-V ftrace. Kernel preemption makes things even worse as it allows the old +state to persist across the patching process with stop_machine(). + +In order to get rid of stop_machine() and run dynamic ftrace with full kernel +preemption, we partially initialize each patchable function entry at boot-time, +setting the first instruction to AUIPC, and the second to NOP. Now, atmoic +patching is possible because the kernel only has to update one instruction. +According to Ziccif, as long as an instruction is naturally aligned, the ISA +guarantee an atomic update. + +By fixing down the first instruction, AUIPC, the range of the ftrace trampoline +is limited to +-2K from the predetermined target, ftrace_caller, due to the lack +of immediate encoding space in RISC-V. To address the issue, we introduce +CALL_OPS, where an 8B naturally align metadata is added in front of each +pacthable function. The metadata is resolved at the first trampoline, then the +execution can be derect to another custom trampoline. + +CMODX in the User Space +----------------------- + +Though fence.i is an unprivileged instruction, the default Linux ABI prohibits +the use of fence.i in userspace applications.

If migration occurs after the userspace +synchronized the icache and instruction storage with fence.i, the icache on the +new hart will no longer be clean. This is due to the behavior of fence.i only +affecting the hart that it is called on. Thus, the hart that the task has been +migrated to may not have synchronized instruction storage and icache. There are two ways to solve this problem: use the riscv_flush_icache() syscall, or use the ``PR_RISCV_SET_ICACHE_FLUSH_CTX`` prctl() and emit fence.i in diff --git a/Documentation/arch/riscv/hwprobe.rst b/Documentation/arch/riscv/hwprobe.rst index f60bf5991755..2aa9be272d5d 100644 --- a/Documentation/arch/riscv/hwprobe.rst +++ b/Documentation/arch/riscv/hwprobe.rst @@ -271,6 +271,10 @@ The following keys are defined: * :c:macro:`RISCV_HWPROBE_EXT_ZICBOM`: The Zicbom extension is supported, as ratified in commit 3dd606f ("Create cmobase-v1.0.pdf") of riscv-CMOs. + * :c:macro:`RISCV_HWPROBE_EXT_ZABHA`: The Zabha extension is supported as + ratified in commit 49f49c842ff9 ("Update to Rafified state") of + riscv-zabha. + * :c:macro:`RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_CPUPERF_0`: Deprecated.
