With pseudo-NMIs enabled, we have two mechanisms that control
interrupt masking in parallel :
- The DAIF flags, masking at the CPU
- The GIC PMR, masking before the CPU
However, our irqflags implementation currently assumes that only one
of the two is used at a time, so both DAIF and PMR masking use the same
`unsigned long flags` in their own way.
This is incorrect, as some parts of the kernel will mask interrupts
with DAIF directly or bypass the local_irq masking via the PMR,
and makes tracking the state and changes of both in parallel impossible.
The irqflags API expects `unsigned long`s to be passed around, but
they should not be manipulated outside of the arch-specific code.
So, we can encode the information we need however we want as long as
we return and accept `unsigned long`s.
Introduce a union type for arm64 irqflags whose first member is
a struct allowing us to track DAIF and PMR in parallel, and the second
is the `unsigned long` expected by the irqflags API.
DAIF is a two byte value, to maintain compatibility with existing defines.
PMR is a one byte value, which is the maximum amount of priority bits
allowed by the GICv3 architecture.
Update the internal irqflags functions to use this new union and convert
back and forth with the irqflags unsigned long.
There should be no functional changes.

With pseudo-NMIs enabled, both DAIF and the PMR affect interrupt masking.
Now that we have a type which can track both of them at the same time,
update our irqflags implementation to use it.
Save DAIF flags in all cases, as they can be manipulated directly by other
code, and the PMR if it is in use.
When checking if IRQs are disabled, now that we always save DAIF we
can check that the I flag is set and bypass checking the PMR if it is.
We can also properly check if PMR masks interrupts, now that we don't
need to rely on the GIC_PRIO_PSR_I_SET bit being set in the PMR to
know if DAIF is already masking interrupts. Update
`irqs_priority_unmasked()` to align with this change.
This allows us to remove the `__daif_...` and `__pmr_...` versions
of the save and check functions, as they are now unified.
We can reasonably merge the two `__{daif,pmr}_irq_restore()` functions
in the main one, as the DAIF and PMR values are properly split now.

From: Ada Couprie Diaz <ada.coupriediaz@arm.com>
The entry code and the rest of the kernel require different interrupt
masking APIs, but all need a common representation of the hardware
exception state.
Introduce exception contexts that map DAIF and PMR state to the
corresponding masking context. Provide helpers to translate between
exception contexts and hardware state and update the hardware state.
Updating PMR is unnecessary when a caller knows that its value has not
changed. Allow such callers to avoid the update, while providing a
force option for callers that cannot rely on the previous PMR state.
Entry specific and general purpose masking APIs will be built on these
helpers in subsequent patches.

Hi Vladimir,
This helper looks more related to the 5th patch "arm64: entry: Introduce
entry specific exception masking helpers", as it is entry-related.
Moving it to 5th patch may make it easier to review.

Minor, this isn't inheriting but rather reads a hwstate out?
maybe arm64_exc_hwstate_of_reg() or something like that..

debug_switch_state() explicitly checks the hardware exception state
for both the pseudo-NMI and non-NMI paths. The expected state matches
the NOIRQ_CONTEXT exception context introduced alongside the exception
masking helpers and state checkers. Such checks are handy outside of
task switch, so turn them into generic helpers available for wider
use. Make debug_switch_state() the first user of newly introduced
helpers.

The entry code handles interrupt masking differently from the rest of
the kernel. Exception handlers enter and exit with all exceptions
masked, but they must temporarily unmask the appropriate set of
exceptions so that the rest of the handler executes with the expected
exception state.
For EL0 handlers, this means dropping to masking context appropriate
for the work to be performed. For EL1 handlers, this means restoring
the masking context of the interrupted task. In both cases, all
exceptions must be masked again before returning from the exception
handler.
The rest of the kernel typically follows the opposite pattern: it
raises the masking context to protect a critical section and later
restores the previous context.
Given these different usage patterns, introduce a dedicated set of
exception masking helpers for the entry code. Keeping these helpers
separate from the generic interrupt masking APIs makes the intended
usage explicit and helps avoid mixing the two masking models.

Could it be renamed to a more intuitive name, such as

The if branch is a dead code now, we can remove it.
arm64_drop_exc_context is only used directly in the context of
el0t_64_error_handler below. It switches from ERROR_CONTEXT to
PROCESS_CONTEXT.
And now arm64_unmask_exc_context always switch from CRITICAL_CONTEXT
to ERROR_CONTEXT/NONMI_CONTEXT/NOIRQ_CONTEXT/PROCESS_CONTEXT.
So there is no case where prev and next DAIF are the same.

Such specialization goes against the idea of generalization. We don't
want to touch the helpers every time we decide to change a caller -
it's too much cognitive load to keep all these details in mind, and
they're easy to miss.

Replace all uses of the `local_daif_...` helpers in `entry-common.c`
with the new entry-specific exception masking helpers.
Also replace `local_irq_disable()` with a switch to NOIRQ context
using the new helpers. This provides:
- consistency checks for hardware state
- a unified style for managing exception context
Now that both the irqflags API and entry code handle DAIF and PMR
correctly, remove `GIC_PRIO_PSR_I_SET` from the PMR value set by
`kernel_entry` in `entry.S` and by `init_gic_priority_masking()` in
`kernel/smp.c`.
The `local_daif_...` helpers and other specialized code still use
`GIC_PRIO_PSR_I_SET` for now; this commit does not change their
behavior.

From: Ada Couprie Diaz <ada.coupriediaz@arm.com>
Outside the entry code, the local_daif_... helpers need to be replaced
so that both DAIF and PMR are handled correctly and their use can be
controlled more strongly.
Introduce local_exceptions_save_mask() and local_exceptions_restore(),
which must be used as a pair. Save both the original and requested
exception state so that inconsistent changes between the save and
restore can be detected.
There are two cases where paired save and restore operations do not
make sense:
- when initializing a CPU, and
- when preparing to turn it off.
Handle those cases with local_exceptions_cpu_init_mask() and
local_exceptions_final_mask(). When CONFIG_DEBUG_IRQFLAGS is enabled,
enforce that these helpers are not used outside their intended
contexts.

From: Ada Couprie Diaz <ada.coupriediaz@arm.com>
Arm64's `init_IRQ()` calls `local_daif_restore()` to synchronize
interrupt masking via DAIF and switch to masking via PMR. This
depends on a very specific behaviour of `local_daif_restore()` which
will clear DAIF if masking interrupts via PMR, which will get removed
in the future.
As `setup_arch()` cleared DA only earlier, introduce a dedicated
helper that explicitly initializes the PMR to mask interrupts and
clears DAIF, switching to IRQ priority masking.
Given it is a dedicated helper, add a lockdep assertion as
`setup_arch()` should always have called `trace_hardirqs_off()` when
clearing DA, otherwise something bad happened.

From: Ada Couprie Diaz <ada.coupriediaz@arm.com>
Replace existing `local_daif_...` usage with the new `local_all_irqs...`
helpers, adding the necessary save-state struct where required.
Slightly rework `apei_claim_sea()`'s handling of interrupt masking to
fit with the new APIs. Currently, it saves the DAIF flags to restore
later and the `local_irq` ones to check if interrupts are disabled.
It then masks AIF to signal the SEA (forcing DAIF masking), and will
unmask to IF (re-enabling PMR masking if pseudo-NMIs are in use) if it
interrupted a task with interrupts unmaksed, restoring with the DAIF
flags from the beginning afterwards.
As we want to preserve a "mask/unmask" process, change the logic from
"mask AIF/unmask A/unmask IF" to "mask IF/mask A/unmask A/unmask IF" :
first mask with `local_irq_save()`, mask/unmask further around the
SEA signaling, and restore at the end with `local_irq_restore()`.
Now that both APIs properly work with DAIF and PMR, this works
as expected and also removes the need for a "save flags without masking"
function for the new helpers, as this was the only user.
Remove the use of GIC_PRIO_PSR_I_SET in `kvm/hyp/nvhe/switch.c`,
as we now check both PMR and DAIF everywhere and we don't need to signal
interrupts being masked in DAIF in the PMR anymore.

Hi Vladimir,
I think mixing local_irq_save()/local_irq_restore() and
local_exceptions_save_mask()/local_exceptions_restore here may be
problematic, because arch_local_irq_save() does not take into full
account the state of DAIF and the pseudo-NMI. For example, when the
pseudo-NMI is enabled, arch_local_irq_save() only sets PMR to
GIC_PRIO_IRQOFF without taking DAIF into consideration, whereas
local_exceptions_save_mask(NOIRQ_CONTEXT) additionally clears all the
DAIF bits.
But whereas local_exceptions_save_mask() returns exactly the current
hwstate arch_local_irq_save() sets, and local_exceptions_restore() also
needs to restore a unified state.
Best regards,
Jinjie

Hi Jinjie,
Yeah, that nesting makes my head spin. Would it be cleaner to apply
the masking sequentially, something like:
int apei_claim_sea(struct pt_regs *regs)
{
arm64_exc_hwstates_t hwstate;
bool irqs_disabled;
int err = -ENOENT;
if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ACPI_APEI_GHES))
return err;
/*
* SEA can interrupt SError, mask it and describe this as an NMI so
* that APEI defers the handling.
*/
hwstate = local_exceptions_save_mask(ERROR_CONTEXT);
nmi_enter();
err = ghes_notify_sea();
nmi_exit();
local_exceptions_restore(hwstate);
if (err)
return err;
/*
* APEI NMI-like notifications are deferred to irq_work. Unless
* we interrupted irqs-masked code, we can do that now.
*/
irqs_disabled = regs ? regs_irqs_disabled(regs) : arch_irqs_disabled_flags(hwstate.saved.flags);
if (!irqs_disabled) {
hwstate = local_exceptions_save_mask(NOIRQ_CONTEXT);
__irq_enter();
irq_work_run();
__irq_exit();
local_exceptions_restore(hwstate);
} else {
pr_warn_ratelimited("APEI work queued but not completed\n");
err = -EINPROGRESS;
}
return err;
}

When the CPU goes into WFI and pseudo-NMIs are in use, we need to make
sure that interrupts are not masked by the PMR otherwise they would not
reach the CPU and wake it up.
Now that we have a proper API that handles both DAIF and PMR, extend it
to provide helpers allowing to temporarily switch to masking interrupts
via DAIF only when interrupt priorities are in use.
This could allow other parts of the code to make use of it and makes it
easier to check for proper use.
Replace the custom cpuidle helper with those new helpers.

Interrupt masking is now split in different APIs and `local_daif_...`
functions are not in use anymore.
The `DAIF_...` masks defines are now in `asm/interrupts/common_flags.h`,
so we can safely remove `daifflags.h` and all `#include`s referring to it.
Only kprobes.c uses `DAIF_...` masks defines, so add the new header
there.

From: Ada Couprie Diaz <ada.coupriediaz@arm.com>
`GIC_PRIO_PSR_I_SET` was used to keep track of sections of the kernel
where interrupts always need to reach the CPU and could not be masked
via interrupt priorities, or DAIF bypassed the status of the PMR.
This flag unmasked IRQs when OR'd to GIC_PRIO_IRQON and ensured that
that IRQs were seen as disabled by the `local_irqs_...` functions,
as they would only check the PMR if pseudo-NMIs were enabled.
This is not needed anymore as our IRQ masking APIs now know how to handle
interrupt priorities properly and in parallel with DAIF : remove it.

config option to CONFIG_DEBUG_IRQFLAGS as well, keeping all related
debug logic under a single configuration option.

Representation of IRQ flags on arm64 has recently changed. They now
track both DAIF and PMR state while remaining compatible with the
irqflags API by encoding the state in an unsigned long.
While the generic check can still detect corruption of the IRQ flags
caused by EFI runtime services, the resulting error message is cryptic
because it does not understand the arm64-specific representation.
Permit architectures to override the IRQ flags checks and associated
error messages, while keeping the existing implementation as the
default.

Take advantage of the recent changes to the way arm64 represents IRQ
flags and implement an architecture-specific override for the EFI IRQ
flags check.
IRQ flags now carry both DAIF and PMR state. EFI is not expected to
modify either of them, so check both when verifying that IRQ state is
preserved across EFI runtime calls.

Encodings are provided for ALLINT which allow setting of ALLINT.ALLINT
using an immediate rather than requiring that a register be loaded with
the value to write. Since these don't currently fit within the scheme we
have for sysreg generation add manual encodings like we currently do for
other similar registers such as SVCR.
Since it is required that these immediate versions be encoded with xzr
as the source register, provide asm wrappers which ensure this is the
case.

ALLINT instructions are not safe for probing. Both the register and
immediate forms of MSR for ALLINT are currently rejected because they
match aarch64_insn_is_msr_{imm,reg}(). However, MRS instructions
accessing ALLINT need to be rejected explicitly.

From: Ada Couprie Diaz <ada.coupriediaz@arm.com>
When FEAT_NMI is implemented, ALLINT is part of PSTATE and will be saved
to SPSR on exception entry.
As it can mask interrupts, depending on configuration, we will need to
check its value in interruted tasks, so add the corresponding bit
to ptrace.h.
Given its impact on interrupt and NMI masking, use it to update
`print_pstate()` so that it displays ALLINT state.
Display it after DAIF so that interrupt masking fields are together.

Use of FEAT_NMI requires that all the PEs in the system and the GIC
have NMI support. This patch implements the PE part of that detection.
In order to avoid problematic interactions between real and pseudo NMIs
we disable the architected feature if the user has enabled pseudo NMIs
on the command line. If this is done on a system where support for the
architected feature is detected then a warning is printed during boot in
order to help users spot what is likely to be a misconfiguration.
As KVM does not care about the host kernel supporting FEAT_NMI or not
to allow guests to use it, split the CPU cap in two : ARM64_HAS_NMI is
the hardware support, ARM64_NMI is the kernel making use of it.

Hi, Vladimir,
The user's actual requirement may be to use FEAT_NMI by default when it
is available, and fall back to pseudo-NMI otherwise, since pseudo-NMI
has inherent noise and is only a second choice when there is no hardware
support. Can we design it this way?

Hi Jinjie,
Hmm, currently users have to explicitly opt in to pseudo-NMI (enable
the config option and pass irqchip.gicv3_pseudo_nmi=1 on the command
line), and those users would continue to use pseudo-NMI even if
FEAT_NMI is available.
What you are asking is to prefer FEAT_NMI over pseudo-NMI when it is
available, effectively turning the explicit opt-in to pseudo-NMI into
a hint rather than a strict request, correct?
Cheers
Vladimir

From: Ada Couprie Diaz <ada.coupriediaz@arm.com>
Extend logic to handle and debug exception context/state with knowlage
of FEAT_NMI.
Take care to order writes to ALLINT relative to DAIF, as clearing
ALLINT before DAIF could result in taking an NMI while DAIF is fully
masked, as could setting it after DAIF.
Since superpriority interrupts are not masked through DAIF like pseduo
NMIs are, we also need to modify the assembler macros for managing
DAIF to ensure that the masking is done in the assembly code.
Note that save_and_disable_irq/restore_irq and
save_and_disable_daif/restore_irq pairs are used in distinct
contextes:
- former is used in context of SW PAN to quickly disable/enable
preemption
- latter is used to completely mask all exceptions.
For that reason split save_and_disable_daif/restore_irq into more
generic exception save restore pair and plumb with FEAT_NMI logic.

"prev.allint < next.allint" check should not be constrained by whether
DAIF is equal, because it is possible that both DAIF and ALLINT change
when the context is dropped, And when the context is dropped, ALLINT
will only remain unchanged ( 0 -> 0 or 1 -> 1 )or be cleared, such as:
ERROR -> PROCESS
daif AIF -> 0
allint ALLINT -> 0

It is the same here.

It is correct that we can check ALLINT independently, but I'm not sure
what value that brings. Most invalid transitions would be covered by
the DAIF check alone, except for transitions between NOIRQ and NONMI,
where we have to rely on ALLINT.

As we clear SCTLR_EL1.SPINTMASK when enabling FEAT_NMI, ALLINT masks
IRQs and FIQs regardless of superpriority.
Update irqflags.h and `regs_irqs_disabled()` to take it into account,
so we properly keep track of the local IRQ masking state.
We have documentation at the top of irqflags.h which explains the DAIF
masking. Since the additional masking with NMIs is related and also
covers the IF in DAIF, extend the comment to note what's going on
with NMIs.

From: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org>
Our goal with superpriority interrupts is to use them as NMIs, taking
advantage of the much smaller regions where they are masked to allow
prompt handling of the most time-critical interrupts.
When an interrupt is configured with superpriority, we enter EL1 as we
do for any other interrupt. The presence of a superpriority interrupt
is indicated by a status bit in ISR_EL1. We check this bit before
unmasking interrupts in elX_interrupt(), and if a superpriority
interrupt is pending, we handle it as an NMI. Otherwise, normal
interrupts are handled as usual.
Since superpriority interrupts are always handled as NMIs, the
interrupt controller can rely on in_nmi() to distinguish them from
ordinary interrupts.
Enable IPIs to use superpriority interrupts as NMIs, matching the
existing pseudo-NMI behaviour.

PSTATE.ALLINT is always set to the inverse of SCTLR_ELx.SPINTMASK,
regardless of the value of SCTLR_ELx.NMI. SCTLR_ELx.NMI is initialised
to 0 by default, so PSTATE.ALLINT does not cause any interrupt
masking. With upcoming FEAT_NMI support, SCTLR_ELx.NMI will be set as
part of the enable sequence.
However, during CPU suspend/resume, we reinitialise PSTATE to
INIT_PSTATE_EL1. INIT_PSTATE_EL1 currently does not set
PSR_ALLINT_BIT, but SCTLR_ELx.NMI is restored from the saved
value. Since all exceptions are masked during CPU suspend/resume,
avoid a state where SCTLR_ELx.NMI is restored to 1 but PSTATE.ALLINT
is clear, since that would permit an NMI during resume.
Include PSR_ALLINT_BIT in INIT_PSTATE_EL1 so PSTATE.ALLINT is always
set.

EFI is not expected to modify PSTATE.ALLINT, so check that it remains
unchanged across EFI runtime calls.

Kprobes masks all DAIF exceptions to keep things simple and avoid
nested exceptions. With FEAT_NMI, that is no longer enough. Mask
ALLINT as well to ensure things stay simple.

SGI and LPI backed IPIs require different setup, enable, disable and
send operations. These differences are currently handled by repeatedly
checking percpu_ipi_descs. As the implementation specific logic grows,
these checks make the common IPI code increasingly difficult to
follow.
Introduce an operations structure for each implementation to
encapsulate the specific of SGI and LPI handling, leaving the common
IPI paths generic.

Existing IPI setup logic relies on ipi_should_be_nmi() to decide
whether to request an NMI (if supported) or an ordinary IRQ. If NMI is
not supported, using an ordinary IRQ is acceptable.
FEAT_NMI requires complementary support in the interrupt
controller. If FEAT_NMI is present but interrupt controller support is
absent, request_percpu_nmi() can fail.
One way to prevent this would be to extend ipi_should_be_nmi() to also
check for interrupt controller support. However, since falling back to
an ordinary IRQ is acceptable, treat ipi_should_be_nmi() as a hint
instead. Whether an IPI is actually registered as an NMI is determined
by the success or failure of request_percpu_nmi(). If the request
fails, fall back to request_irq().
Track which IPIs were actually registered as NMIs and use that state
in the per-CPU enable and disable paths. This avoids calling the
percpu NMI helpers for an IPI that fell back to regular IRQ handling.

It seems there are ongoing discussions [1,2] about moving away from it
towards the buddy detector. So I can add it, but I'm not sure whether
it will still be necessary in the future.

Currently, the terms "NMI" and "pseudo-NMI" are used
interchangeably. That creates confusion with upcoming FEAT_GICv3_NMI
support. Rename helper functions and variables related to pseudo-NMI
to make the code paths clearer and more explicit.

From: Lorenzo Pieralisi <lpieralisi@kernel.org>
The FEAT_GICv3_NMI GIC feature coupled with the CPU FEAT_NMI enables
handling NMI interrupts in HW on aarch64, by adding a superpriority
interrupt to the existing GIC priority scheme.
Implement GIC driver support for the FEAT_GICv3_NMI feature.
Check, through the ARM64 capabilitity infrastructure, if support
for FEAT_NMI was detected on the core and the system has not overridden
the detection and forced pseudo-NMIs enablement.
If FEAT_NMI is detected, it was not overridden (check embedded in the
system_uses_nmi() call) and the GIC supports the FEAT_GICv3_NMI
feature, initialize NMIs related HW GIC registers and route irq to NMI
handling logic.

LPI-backed IPIs are currently always requested and managed as regular
IRQs. Allow IPIs selected by ipi_should_be_nmi() to be requested as
NMIs, falling back to regular IRQs when the NMI request fails.
Track which IPIs were successfully requested as NMIs so that the
per-CPU enable and disable paths use the appropriate NMI helpers.

Generic IRQ code sanitises whether an IRQ can be considered for NMI
use. Currently, it only considers IRQs managed by the root irqchip.
GICv5 IPIs belong to a logical domain built on top of the LPI domain.
Consequently, generic IRQ code rejects these IPIs for NMI use, even
though their hardware state is managed by the root LPI domain.
One way to allow GICv5 IPIs to be used as NMIs would be to adjust the
sanitisation logic to account for this domain hierarchy. However, the
generic IRQ code can instead trust the local irqchip.
Remove the root irqchip check and use the local irqchip when
considering an IRQ for NMI use.

handle_irq_event_percpu() calls add_interrupt_randomness(). Similarly
to 512718bbc51b ("genirq/chip: Don't call add_interrupt_randomness()
for NMIs"), calling it while handling an NMI is not safe.
Stop calling add_interrupt_randomness() when handle_irq_event_percpu()
runs in NMI context.

Implement NMI support for PPIs, SPIs, LPIs and IPIs by toggling their
priority between the superpriority and regular interrupt levels.
