[PATCH 07/11] arm64: entry: fix non-NMI user<->kernel transitions

Mark Rutland mark.rutland at arm.com
Thu Nov 26 07:35:58 EST 2020


When built with PROVE_LOCKING, NO_HZ_FULL, and CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE
will WARN() at boot time that interrupts are enabled when we call
context_tracking_user_enter(), despite the DAIF flags indicating that
IRQs are masked.

The problem is that we're not tracking IRQ flag changes accurately, and
so lockdep believes interrupts are enabled when they are not (and
vice-versa). We can shuffle things so to make this more accurate. For
kernel->user transitions there are a number of constraints we need to
consider:

1) When we call __context_tracking_user_enter() HW IRQs must be disabled
   and lockdep must be up-to-date with this.

2) Userspace should be treated as having IRQs enabled from the PoV of
   both lockdep and tracing.

3) As context_tracking_user_enter() stops RCU from watching, we cannot
   use RCU after calling it.

4) IRQ flag tracing and lockdep have state that must be manipulated
   before RCU is disabled.

... with similar constraints applying for user->kernel transitions, with
the ordering reversed.

The generic entry code has enter_from_user_mode() and
exit_to_user_mode() helpers to handle this. We can't use those directly,
so we add arm64 copies for now (without the instrumentation markers
which aren't used on arm64). These replace the existing user_exit() and
user_exit_irqoff() calls spread throughout handlers, and the exception
unmasking is left as-is.

Note that:

* The accounting for debug exceptions from userspace now happens in
  el0_dbg() and ret_to_user(), so this is removed from
  debug_exception_enter() and debug_exception_exit(). As
  user_exit_irqoff() wakes RCU, the userspace-specific check is removed.

* The accounting for syscalls now happens in el0_svc(),
  el0_svc_compat(), and ret_to_user(), so this is removed from
  el0_svc_common(). This does not adversely affect the workaround for
  erratum 1463225, as this does not depend on any of the state tracking.

* In ret_to_user() we mask interrupts with local_daif_mask(), and so we
  need to inform lockdep and tracing. Here a trace_hardirqs_off() is
  sufficient and safe as we have not yet exited kernel context and RCU
  is usable.

* As PROVE_LOCKING selects TRACE_IRQFLAGS, the ifdeferry in entry.S only
  needs to check for the latter.

* EL0 SError handling will be dealt with in a subsequent patch, as this
  needs to be treated as an NMI.

Prior to this patch, booting an appropriately-configured kernel would
result in spats as below:
