The SBI Firmware Feature extension allows the S-mode to request some
specific features (either hardware or software) to be enabled. This
series uses this extension to request misaligned access exception
delegation to S-mode in order to let the kernel handle it. It also adds
support for the KVM FWFT SBI extension based on the misaligned access
handling infrastructure.
FWFT SBI extension is part of the SBI V3.0 specifications [1]. It can be
tested using the qemu provided at [2] which contains the series from
[3]. Upstream kvm-unit-tests can be used inside kvm to tests the correct
delegation of misaligned exceptions. Upstream OpenSBI can be used.
The tests can be run using the kselftest from series [4].

Clément Léger <cleger@rivosinc.com> says:
While debugging a few problems with the misaligned access kselftest,
Alexandre discovered some crash with the current code. Indeed, some
misaligned access was done by the kernel using put_user(). This
was resulting in trap and a kernel crash since. The path was the
following:
user -> kernel -> access to user memory -> misaligned trap -> trap ->
kernel -> misaligned handling -> memcpy -> crash due to failed page fault
while in interrupt disabled section.
Last discussion about kernel misaligned handling and interrupt reenabling
were actually not to reenable interrupt when handling misaligned access
being done by kernel. The best solution being not to do any misaligned
accesses to userspace memory, we considered a few options:
- Remove any call to put/get_user() potentially doing misaligned
accesses
- Do not do any misaligned accesses in put/get_user() itself
The second solution was the one chosen as there are too many callsites to
put/get_user() that could potentially do misaligned accesses. We tried
two approaches for that, either split access in two aligned accesses
(and do RMW for put_user()) or call copy_from/to_user() which does not
do any misaligned accesses. The later one was the simpler to implement
(although the performances are probably lower than split aligned
accesses but still way better than doing misaligned access emulation)
and allows to support what we wanted.
These commits are based on top of Alex dev/alex/get_user_misaligned_v1
branch.
[Palmer: No idea what that branch is, so I'm basing it on the uaccess
optimizations patch series which is the last thing to touch these.]

The Svinval extension splits SFENCE.VMA instruction into finer-grained
invalidation and ordering operations and is mandatory for RVA23S64 profile.
When Svinval is enabled the local_flush_tlb_range_threshold_asid function
should use the following sequence to optimize the tlb flushes instead of
a simple sfence.vma:
sfence.w.inval
svinval.vma
.
.
svinval.vma
sfence.inval.ir
The maximum number of consecutive svinval.vma instructions that
can be executed in local_flush_tlb_range_threshold_asid function
is limited to 64. This is required to avoid soft lockups and the
approach is similar to that used in arm64.

Doing misaligned access to userspace memory would make a trap on
platform where it is emulated. Latest fixes removed the kernel
capability to do unaligned accesses to userspace memory safely since
interrupts are kept disabled at all time during that. Thus doing so
would crash the kernel.
Such behavior was detected with GET_UNALIGN_CTL() that was doing
a put_user() with an unsigned long* address that should have been an
unsigned int*. Reenabling kernel misaligned access emulation is a bit
risky and it would also degrade performances. Rather than doing that,
we will try to avoid any misaligned accessed by using copy_from/to_user()
which does not do any misaligned accesses. This can be done only for
!CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS and thus allows to only generate
a bit more code for this config.

From: Björn Töpel <bjorn@rivosinc.com>
Hi!
For over a year ago, Daniel and I was testing the V2 of Song's series.
I also promised to take the V2, that had been sitting on the lists for
too long, to rebase it on a new kernel, and re-test it.
One year later, here's the V3! ;-)
There are no changes from V2 other, than some simple checkpatch
cleanups.
Song's original cover:
| This series makes the kexec_file_load() syscall support to load
| Image binary file. At the same time, corresponding support for
| kexec-tools had been pushed to my repo[2].
|
| Now, we can leverage that kexec-tools and this series to use the
| kexec_load() or kexec_file_load() syscall to boot both vmlinux and
| Image file, as seen in these combo tests:
|
| ```
| 1. kexec -l vmlinux
| 2. kexec -l Image
| 3. kexec -s -l vmlinux
| 4. kexec -s -l Image
| ```
Notably, kexec-tools has still not made it upstream. I've prepared a
branch on my GH [3], that I indend to post ASAP. That branch is a
collection of fixes/features, including Song's userland Image loading.
The V2 is here [2], and V1 [1].
I've tested the kexec-file/Image on qemu-rv64, with following
combinations:
* ACPI/UEFI
* DT/UEFI
* DT
both "regular" kexec (-s + -e), and crashkernels (-p).
Note that there are two purgatory patches that has to be present (part
of -rc1, so all good):
commit 28093cfef5 ("riscv/kexec_file: Handle R_RISCV_64 in purgatory relocator")
commit 3f7023171d ("riscv/purgatory: 4B align purgatory_start")

perf reports that 99.63% of the cycles from `modprobe amdgpu` are spent
inside module_frob_arch_sections(). This is because amdgpu.ko contains
about 300000 relocations in its .rela.text section, and the algorithm in
count_max_entries() takes quadratic time.
Apply two optimizations from the arm64 code, which together reduce the
total execution time by 99.58%. First, sort the relocations so duplicate
entries are adjacent. Second, reduce the number of relocations that must
be sorted by filtering to only relocations that need PLT/GOT entries, as
done in commit d4e0340919 ("arm64/module: Optimize module load time by
optimizing PLT counting").
Unlike the arm64 code, here the filtering and sorting is done in a
scratch buffer, because the HI20 relocation search optimization in
apply_relocate_add() depends on the original order of the relocations.
This allows accumulating PLT/GOT relocations across sections so sorting
and counting is only done once per module.

is that we merge the CALL_OPS support from Puranjay [1] and make direct
calls available for practical uses such as BPF. Thanks for the time
reviewing the series and suggestions, we hope this version gets a step
closer to happening in the upstream.
Please reference the link to v3 below for more introductory view of the
implementation [2]

Apparently sec_base doesn't mean relocated symbol value, which seems a
copy-pasting error in the comment. Assigned with the address of section
indexed by sym->st_shndx, it should represent base address of the
relevant section. Let's fix the comment to avoid possible confusion.

This is the preparative patch for kexec_file_load Image support.
It separates the elf_kexec_load() as two parts:
- the first part loads the vmlinux (or Image)
- the second part loads other segments (e.g. initrd,fdt,purgatory)
And the second part is exported as the load_extra_segments() function
which would be used in both kexec-elf.c and kexec-image.c.
No functional change intended.

This patch enables support for DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS on RISC-V.
This allows each ftrace callsite to provide an ftrace_ops to the common
ftrace trampoline, allowing each callsite to invoke distinct tracer
functions without the need to fall back to list processing or to
allocate custom trampolines for each callsite. This significantly speeds
up cases where multiple distinct trace functions are used and callsites
are mostly traced by a single tracer.
The idea and most of the implementation is taken from the ARM64's
implementation of the same feature. The idea is to place a pointer to
the ftrace_ops as a literal at a fixed offset from the function entry
point, which can be recovered by the common ftrace trampoline.
We use -fpatchable-function-entry to reserve 8 bytes above the function
entry by emitting 2 4 byte or 4 2 byte nops depending on the presence of
CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_C. These 8 bytes are patched at runtime with a pointer
to the associated ftrace_ops for that callsite. Functions are aligned to
8 bytes to make sure that the accesses to this literal are atomic.
This approach allows for directly invoking ftrace_ops::func even for
ftrace_ops which are dynamically-allocated (or part of a module),
without going via ftrace_ops_list_func.
We've benchamrked this with the ftrace_ops sample module on Spacemit K1
Jupiter:

Note: per-call overhead is estimated relative to the baseline case with
0 relevant tracers and 0 irrelevant tracers.
As can be seen from the above:
a) Whenever there is a single relevant tracer function associated with a
tracee, the overhead of invoking the tracer is constant, and does not
scale with the number of tracers which are *not* associated with that
tracee.
b) The overhead for a single relevant tracer has dropped to ~1/3 of the
overhead prior to this series (from 122ns to 38ns). This is largely
due to permitting calls to dynamically-allocated ftrace_ops without
going through ftrace_ops_list_func.

RISC-V spec explicitly calls out that a local fence.i is not enough for
the code modification to be visble from a remote hart. In fact, it
states:
To make a store to instruction memory visible to all RISC-V harts, the
writing hart also has to execute a data FENCE before requesting that all
remote RISC-V harts execute a FENCE.I.
Although current riscv drivers for IPI use ordered MMIO when sending IPIs
in order to synchronize the action between previous csd writes, riscv
does not restrict itself to any particular flavor of IPI. Any driver or
firmware implementation that does not order data writes before the IPI
may pose a risk for code-modifying race.
Thus, add a fence here to order data writes before making the IPI.

Each function entry implies a call to ftrace infrastructure. And it may
call into schedule in some cases. So, it is possible for preemptible
kernel-mode Vector to implicitly call into schedule. Since all V-regs
are caller-saved, it is possible to drop all V context when a thread
voluntarily call schedule(). Besides, we currently don't pass argument
through vector register, so we don't have to save/restore V-regs in
ftrace trampoline.

We use an AUIPC+JALR pair to jump into a ftrace trampoline. Since
instruction fetch can break down to 4 byte at a time, it is impossible
to update two instructions without a race. In order to mitigate it, we
initialize the patchable entry to AUIPC + NOP4. Then, the run-time code
patching can change NOP4 to JALR to eable/disable ftrcae from a
function. This limits the reach of each ftrace entry to +-2KB displacing
from ftrace_caller.
Starting from the trampoline, we add a level of indirection for it to
reach ftrace caller target. Now, it loads the target address from a
memory location, then perform the jump. This enable the kernel to update
the target atomically.
The new don't-stop-the-world text patching on change only one RISC-V
instruction:
| -8: &ftrace_ops of the associated tracer function.
| <ftrace enable>:
| 0: auipc t0, hi(ftrace_caller)
| 4: jalr t0, lo(ftrace_caller)
|
| -8: &ftrace_nop_ops
| <ftrace disable>:
| 0: auipc t0, hi(ftrace_caller)
| 4: nop
This means that f+0x0 is fixed, and should not be claimed by ftrace,
e.g. kprobe should be able to put a probe in f+0x0. Thus, we adjust the
offset and MCOUNT_INSN_SIZE accordingly.

We are changing ftrace code patching in order to remove dependency from
stop_machine() and enable kernel preemption. This requires us to align
functions entry at a 4-B align address.
However, -falign-functions on older versions of GCC alone was not strong
enoungh to align all functions. In fact, cold functions are not aligned
after turning on optimizations. We consider this is a bug in GCC and
turn off guess-branch-probility as a workaround to align all functions.
GCC bug id: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=88345
The option -fmin-function-alignment is able to align all functions
properly on newer versions of gcc. So, we add a cc-option to test if
the toolchain supports it.

While misaligned_access_speed was defined in a file compile with
CONFIG_RISCV_MISALIGNED, its definition was under
CONFIG_RISCV_SCALAR_MISALIGNED. This resulted in compilation problems
when using it in a file compiled with CONFIG_RISCV_MISALIGNED.
Move the declaration under CONFIG_RISCV_MISALIGNED so that it can be
used unconditionnally when compiled with that config and remove the check
for that variable in traps_misaligned.c.

schedule_on_each_cpu() was used without any good reason while documented
as very slow. This call was in the boot path, so better use
on_each_cpu() for scalar misaligned checking. Vector misaligned check
still needs to use schedule_on_each_cpu() since it requires irqs to be
enabled but that's less of a problem since this code is ran in a kthread.
Add a comment to explicit that.
