Looking back at commit 3b8c9f1cdfc5 ("arm64: IPI each CPU after
invalidating the I-cache for kernel mappings"), the text implies that it
should only do this for kernel mappings. I don't think we need this for
user mappings. We have a few scenarios where we invoke set_pte_at() with
exec permission:

1. Page faulted in - the pte was not previously accessible and the CPU
   should not have stale decoded instructions (my interpretation of the
   ARM ARM).

2. huge pmd splitting - there is no change to the underlying data. I
   have a suspicion here that we shouldn't even call
   sync_icache_aliases() but probably the PG_arch_1 isn't carried over
   from the head compound page to the small pages (needs checking).

3. page migration - there is no change to the underlying data and
   instructions, so I don't think we need the all CPUs sync.

4. mprotect() setting exec permission - that's normally the
   responsibility of the user to ensure cache maintenance

(I can add more text to the patch below but need to get to the bottom of
this first)

arm64: Do not issue IPIs for user executable ptes

From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

Commit 3b8c9f1cdfc5 ("arm64: IPI each CPU after invalidating the I-cache
for kernel mappings") was aimed at fixing the I-cache invalidation for
kernel mappings. However, it inadvertently caused all cache maintenance
for user mappings via set_pte_at() -> __sync_icache_dcache() to call
kick_all_cpus_sync().

Yes, I think you're right. I got confused because in this case we are
invalidating lines written by the kernel, but actually it's not about who
writes the data, but about whether or not the page table is being changed.

I'd much prefer just adding something like sync_user_icache_aliases(), which
would avoid the IPI, since bool arguments tend to make the callsites
unreadable imo.

With that:

IIUC we may have a userspace problem analagous to the kernel modules
problem, if userspace uses dlopen/dlclose to dynamically load/unload
shared objects.

If userspace unloads an object, then loads another, the new object might
get placed at the same VA. A PE could have started speculating
instructions from the old object, and IIUC the TLB invalidation and
I-cache maintenance don't cause those instructions be re-fetched from
the I-cache unless there's a context synchronization event.

Do we require the use of membarrier when loading or unloading objects?
If so, when does that happen relative to the unmap or map?

Thanks,
Mark.

membarrier seems a bit OTT for this. Assumedly userspace is already having
to synchronise threads in this case so that (a) nobody is executing the old
object when it is unloaded and (b) nobody tries to execute the new
object until it has been successfully loaded. Squeezing in an ISB shouldn't
be too tricky, although I don't know whether it's actually done (especially
since the chance of this going wrong is so tiny).

I wonder whether we need the IPI for uprobes and ptrace. I would say we
can avoid it for ptrace since normally the debugged thread should be
stopped. I think it's different for uprobes but changing the text of a
live thread doesn't come with many guarantees anyway. So I'm tempted to
simply change sync_icache_aliases() to not issue an IPI at all, in which
case we wouldn't even need the bool argument; it's only used for user
addresses. So the new diff would be (the text is the same):

We also faced similar issue with LTP test migrate_pages03 in past and this patch 
fixes the issue.
