[PATCH v3 0/5] arm64: Patching branches for fun and profit

[PATCH v3 0/5] arm64: Patching branches for fun and profit

[Marc Zyngier]

The current alternative instruction framework is not kind to branches,
potentially leading to all kind of hacks in the code that uses
alternatives. This series expands it to deal with immediate branches
(for a start), and applies it to the VGIC world switch.

Patch #1 adds the required infrastructure to extract the immediate
from an instruction.

Patch #2 allows the use of an immediate b or bl instruction as an
alternative, computing the target branch as the instruction is being
patched in.

Patch #3 defines a feature framework that works exactly like the CPU
errata infrastructure (and shares a lot with it).

Patch #4 adds detection of the system register GICv3 CPU interface.

Patch #5 enables dynamic patching of the KVM code.

This has been tested with GICv3 on a FastModel.

* From v1:
- Fixed missing cpu_to_le32 when writing back the instruction
- Added Will's Acks.

* From v2:
- Replaced cpu_to_le32 with aarch_write_insn, which is the proper API
  and takes care of the potential pitfall if the text is read-only.
  Thanks to Tixy for suggesting this.

[PATCH v3 1/5] arm64: insn: Add aarch64_insn_decode_immediate

[Marc Zyngier]

Patching an instruction sometimes requires extracting the immediate
field from this instruction. To facilitate this, and avoid
potential duplication of code, add aarch64_insn_decode_immediate
as the reciprocal to aarch64_insn_encode_immediate.

[PATCH v3 2/5] arm64: alternative: Allow immediate branch as alternative instruction

[Marc Zyngier]

Since all immediate branches are PC-relative on Aarch64, these
instructions cannot be used as an alternative with the simplistic
approach we currently have (the immediate has been computed from
the .altinstr_replacement section, and end-up being completely off
if we insert it directly).

This patch handles the b and bl instructions in a different way,
using the insn framework to recompute the immediate, and generate
the right displacement.

[PATCH v3 3/5] arm64: Extract feature parsing code from cpu_errata.c

[Marc Zyngier]

As we detect more architectural features at runtime, it makes
sense to reuse the existing framework whilst avoiding to call
a feature an erratum...

This patch extract the core capability parsing, moves it into
a new file (cpufeature.c), and let the CPU errata detection code
use it.

[PATCH v3 4/5] arm64: alternative: Introduce feature for GICv3 CPU interface

[Marc Zyngier]

Add a new item to the feature set (ARM64_HAS_SYSREG_GIC_CPUIF)
to indicate that we have a system register GIC CPU interface

This will help KVM switching to alternative instruction patching.

I don't know if it's worth defining these masks in some header file.
The only other place I could see them used was in head.S.

Probably for the moment, yes. At some point, we should be able to have a
consolidated set of features, consistent across all CPUs in the system.
Once we have that, we should revisit this detection mecanism.

Mark was looking at this a while ago. Maybe a task for a sleepless

[PATCH v3 5/5] arm64: KVM: Switch vgic save/restore to alternative_insn

[Marc Zyngier]

So far, we configured the world-switch by having a small array
of pointers to the save and restore functions, depending on the
GIC used on the platform.

Loading these values each time is a bit silly (they never change),
and it makes sense to rely on the instruction patching instead.

This leads to a nice cleanup of the code.
