[PATCH] KVM: arm64: nv: Work around lack of pauth support in old toolchains

[PATCH] KVM: arm64: nv: Work around lack of pauth support in old toolchains

[Marc Zyngier]

We still support GCC 8.x, and it appears that this toolchain
does not understand "pauth" as a valid architectural extension.
After all, it's only been 8 years since ARMv8.3 was released...

This results in the NV ERETAx code breaking the build, as it relies
on this extention to make use of the PACGA instruction.

Work around it by hand-assembling the instruction using a mind-bending
trick lifted from an old patch by Will. Magic.

Just to clarify: I'm fairly sure that all supported toolchains
support ARMv8.3 and PACGA, the problem with ".arch_extension pauth\n"
seems to be that it was retroactively made an optional
feature for earlier architecture versions a few years after
ARMv8.3, so most binutils versions we support understand
pacga as an armv8.3 feature but reject the pauth name for the
extension.

I usually try to enclose these in a version check like
"#if CONFIG_AS_VERSION >= 22800" so we can be sure we clean them up
whenever the minimum version changes, but I assume you'll remember
this one.

Kind of agree with Arnd here.
Shall the fix just remove the ".arch_extension pauth"?

I've tried gcc 7 failed with the pauth name for the extension.
After I remove the ".arch_extension pauth" and use "pacga" instruction
directly pass the gcc 7 compilation.

By the way, have a glance for gcc7/8/9/10 manual, from the gcc 10 manual
[1], seems gcc 10 was the first introduced the pauth as the extension
name support.

And breaks with LLVM:

It really depends on the binutils version, not gcc of course.

It works when building with LLVM_IAS=0, which we obviously don't
want to mandate here. The variant below works for both clang+ias
(including all still supported versions) and gcc+binutils, but at
that point it gets obscure enough that your .inst version is easier
to understand.

Right. I'll amend the commit message to reflect that.

Exactly. Either we have a good way to abstract this behind the scenes
(which I don't see right now), or we just assume control of the
instruction generation, which is what my patch does.

In general, I question the value of the ".arch_extension" requirement
for something like Linux, where we already have a pretty fine grained
control of what we want to see being output by the compiler. but that
ship has sailed long ago.

Thanks,

Can you please use <asm/gpr-num.h> rather than open-coding this new REG()
helper? That way this'll be consistent with the way we assemble MRS/MSR in
<asm/sysreg.h>, and it avoids the few seconds of confusion trying to figure out
the maths in the REG() helper (neat trick though!).

Fixlet for that below; I've build tested this and the resulting object file is
the same before and after (diff shows that only the name of the file changed):

If you'd prefer I can send this as a patch.

Otherwise, this looks good to me; thanks for the fix!
