[PATCH v3] arm64: kernel: implement fast refcount checking
Ard Biesheuvel

This adds support to arm64 for fast refcount checking, as proposed by
Kees for x86 based on the implementation by grsecurity/PaX.
The general approach is identical: the existing atomic_t helpers are
cloned for refcount_t, with the arithmetic instruction modified to set
the PSTATE flags, and one or two branch instructions added that jump to
an out of line handler if overflow and/or decrement to zero are detected.
One complication that we have to deal with on arm64 is the fact that
is has two atomics implementations: the original LL/SC implementation
using load/store exclusive loops, and the newer LSE one that do mostly
the same in a single instruction. So we need to clone some parts of
both for the refcount handlers, but we also need to deal with the way
LSE builds fall back to LL/SC at runtime if the hardware does not
support it. (The only exception is refcount_add_not_zero(), which
updates the refcount conditionally, so it is only implemented using
a load/store exclusive loop)
As is the case with the x86 version, the performance delta is in the
noise (Cortex-A57 @ 2 GHz, using LL/SC not LSE):

v3: - switch to refcount_add_not_zero() that has opencoded ll/sc atomics
I played around with adding a pre-check to the refcount_add paths to check
for cases where the refcount is already zero, but that results in a 10%
performance hit:
perf stat -B -- cat <(echo REFCOUNT_TIMING) >/sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT
