[PATCH v2 5.10.y/5.15.y 2/3] ARM: fix branch predictor hardening

[Xie Yuanbin <xieyuanbin1@huawei.com>]

From: "Russell King (Oracle)" <rmk+kernel@armlinux.org.uk>

[ Upstream commit fd2dee1c6e2256f726ba33fd3083a7be0efc80d3 ]

__do_user_fault() may be called with indeterminent interrupt enable
state, which means we may be preemptive at this point. This causes
problems when calling harden_branch_predictor(). For example, when
called from a data abort, do_alignment_fault()->do_bad_area().

Move harden_branch_predictor() out of __do_user_fault() and into the
calling contexts.

Moving it into do_kernel_address_page_fault(), we can be sure that
interrupts will be disabled here.

Converting do_translation_fault() to use do_kernel_address_page_fault()
rather than do_bad_area() means that we keep branch predictor handling
for translation faults. Interrupts will also be disabled at this call
site.

do_sect_fault() needs special handling, so detect user mode accesses
to kernel-addresses, and add an explicit call to branch predictor
hardening.

Finally, add branch predictor hardening to do_alignment() for the
faulting case (user mode accessing kernel addresses) before interrupts
are enabled.

This should cover all cases where harden_branch_predictor() is called,
ensuring that it is always has interrupts disabled, also ensuring that
it is called early in each call path.

[ Xie Yuanbin: At the upstream, the following patches are a patch set:
  1. commit dea20281ac8822661576 ("ARM: group is_permission_fault() with
     is_translation_fault()")
  2. commit 40b466db1dffb41f0529 ("ARM: allow __do_kernel_fault() to
     report execution of memory faults")
  3. commit 7733bc7d299d682f2723 ("ARM: fix hash_name() fault")
  4. commit fd2dee1c6e2256f726ba ("ARM: fix branch predictor hardening")
  patch 1. and 2. is unneeded for 5.10.y and 5.15.y . This patch backports
  patch 4. and simply adapts to the context differences. ]
