[PATCH v2 18/28] arm64/sve: Preserve SVE registers around EFI runtime service calls

Dave Martin
2017-08-31T16:59:42Z

The EFI runtime services ABI allows EFI to make free use of the
FPSIMD registers during EFI runtime service calls, subject to the
callee-save requirements of the AArch64 procedure call standard.

However, the SVE architecture allows upper bits of the SVE vector
registers to be zeroed as a side-effect of FPSIMD V-register
writes. This means that the SVE vector registers must be saved in
their entirety in order to avoid data loss: non-SVE-aware EFI
implementations cannot restore them correctly.

The non-IRQ case is already handled gracefully by
kernel_neon_begin(). For the IRQ case, this patch allocates a
suitable per-CPU stash buffer for the full SVE register state and
uses it to preserve the affected registers around EFI calls. It is
currently unclear how the EFI runtime services ABI will be
clarified with respect to SVE, so it safest to assume that the
predicate registers and FFR must be saved and restored too.

No attempt is made to restore the restore the vector length after
a call, for now. It is deemed rather insane for EFI to change it,
and contemporary EFI implementations certainly won't.

Changes since v1
----------------

Requested by Ard Biesheuvel:

* Fix unbalanced ifelse bracing to conform to the kernel coding style.

* Make efi_sve_state_used static.

Changes related to Alex Bennée's comments:

* Migrate away from magic numbers for SVE_VQ_BYTES.

Other:

* Rename sve_kernel_mode_neon_setup() to sve_efi_setup().
The EFI FPSIMD code is something semi-independent from kernel-mode NEON
now, so the "neon" in the names no longer really makes sense.

* Make the EFI FPSIMD setup code dependent on CONFIG_EFI (it's not
supposed to work with CONFIG_EFI=n anyway).
