[PATCH -next v6 00/10] arm64: entry: Convert to generic entry

[PATCH -next v6 00/10] arm64: entry: Convert to generic entry

[Jinjie Ruan]

Currently, x86, Riscv, Loongarch use the generic entry which makes
maintainers' work easier and codes more elegant. In the previous patchset,
arm64 has already successfully switched to the generic IRQ entry, it is
time to completely convert arm64 to generic entry.

The main convert steps are as follows:
- Make arm64 closer to generic syscall entry code.
- Switch to generic entry.

This patch set is rebased on v6.17-rc5-next.

It was tested ok with following test cases on QEMU virt platform:
 - Perf tests.
 - Different `dynamic preempt` mode switch.
 - Pseudo NMI tests.
 - Stress-ng CPU stress test.
 - MTE test case in Documentation/arch/arm64/memory-tagging-extension.rst
   and all test cases in tools/testing/selftests/arm64/mte/*.

The test QEMU configuration is as follows:

	qemu-system-aarch64 \
		-M virt,gic-version=3,virtualization=on,mte=on \
		-cpu max,pauth-impdef=on \
		-kernel Image \
		-smp 8,sockets=1,cores=4,threads=2 \
		-m 512m \
		-nographic \
		-no-reboot \
		-device virtio-rng-pci \
		-append "root=/dev/vda rw console=ttyAMA0 kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200 \
			earlycon preempt=voluntary irqchip.gicv3_pseudo_nmi=1" \
		-drive if=none,file=images/rootfs.ext4,format=raw,id=hd0 \
		-device virtio-blk-device,drive=hd0 \

Changes in v6:
- Rebased on v6.17-rc5-next as arm64 generic irq entry has merged.
- Update the commit message.
- Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241206101744.4161990-1-ruanjinjie@huawei.com/

Changes in v5:
- Not change arm32 and keep inerrupts_enabled() macro for gicv3 driver.
- Move irqentry_state definition into arch/arm64/kernel/entry-common.c.
- Avoid removing the __enter_from_*() and __exit_to_*() wrappers.
- Update "irqentry_state_t ret/irq_state" to "state"
  to keep it consistently.
- Use generic irq entry header for PREEMPT_DYNAMIC after split
  the generic entry.
- Also refactor the ARM64 syscall code.
- Introduce arch_ptrace_report_syscall_entry/exit(), instead of
  arch_pre/post_report_syscall_entry/exit() to simplify code.
- Make the syscall patches clear separation.
- Update the commit message.
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241025100700.3714552-1-ruanjinjie@huawei.com/

Changes in v4:
- Rework/cleanup split into a few patches as Mark suggested.
- Replace interrupts_enabled() macro with regs_irqs_disabled(), instead
  of left it here.
- Remove rcu and lockdep state in pt_regs by using temporary
  irqentry_state_t as Mark suggested.
- Remove some unnecessary intermediate functions to make it clear.
- Rework preempt irq and PREEMPT_DYNAMIC code
  to make the switch more clear.
- arch_prepare_*_entry/exit() -> arch_pre_*_entry/exit().
- Expand the arch functions comment.
- Make arch functions closer to its caller.
- Declare saved_reg in for block.
- Remove arch_exit_to_kernel_mode_prepare(), arch_enter_from_kernel_mode().
- Adjust "Add few arch functions to use generic entry" patch to be
  the penultimate.
- Update the commit message.
- Add suggested-by.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240629085601.470241-1-ruanjinjie@huawei.com/

Changes in v3:
- Test the MTE test cases.
- Handle forget_syscall() in arch_post_report_syscall_entry()
- Make the arch funcs not use __weak as Thomas suggested, so move
  the arch funcs to entry-common.h, and make arch_forget_syscall() folded
  in arch_post_report_syscall_entry() as suggested.
- Move report_single_step() to thread_info.h for arm64
- Change __always_inline() to inline, add inline for the other arch funcs.
- Remove unused signal.h for entry-common.h.
- Add Suggested-by.
- Update the commit message.

Changes in v2:
- Add tested-by.
- Fix a bug that not call arch_post_report_syscall_entry() in
  syscall_trace_enter() if ptrace_report_syscall_entry() return not zero.
- Refactor report_syscall().
- Add comment for arch_prepare_report_syscall_exit().
- Adjust entry-common.h header file inclusion to alphabetical order.
- Update the commit message.

[PATCH -next v6 01/10] arm64/ptrace: Split report_syscall() into report_syscall_enter/exit()

[Jinjie Ruan]

The generic syscall entry code has the form:

| syscall_trace_enter()
| {
|	ptrace_report_syscall_entry()
| }
|
| syscall_exit_work()
| {
|	ptrace_report_syscall_exit()
| }

In preparation for moving arm64 over to the generic entry code, split
report_syscall() to two separate enter and exit functions to align
the structure of the arm64 code with syscall_trace_enter() and
syscall_exit_work() from the generic entry code.

No functional changes.

[PATCH -next v6 02/10] arm64/ptrace: Refactor syscall_trace_enter/exit()

[Jinjie Ruan]

The generic syscall entry code has the following form, which use
the input syscall work flag and syscall number:

| syscall_trace_enter(struct pt_regs *regs, long syscall,
|		      unsigned long work)
|
| syscall_exit_work(struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned long work)

In preparation for moving arm64 over to the generic entry code,
refactor syscall_trace_enter/exit() to also pass thread flags, and
get syscall number by syscall_get_nr() helper.

No functional changes.

[PATCH -next v6 03/10] arm64/ptrace: Refator el0_svc_common()

[Jinjie Ruan]

Compared to the generic entry code, arm64 terminate the process
after report_syscall_exit() if the syscall is issued within
a restartable sequence.

In preparation for moving arm64 over to the generic entry code,
refactor el0_svc_common() as below:

- Extract syscall_exit_to_user_mode_prepare() to replace the
  the combination of read_thread_flags() and syscall_trace_exit(),
  also move the syscall exit check logic into it.

- Move rseq_syscall() ahead, so the CONFIG_DEBUG_RSEQ check is
  not needed.

- Move has_syscall_work() helper into asm/syscall.h, which will be
  reused by ptrace.c.

[PATCH -next v6 04/10] entry: Extract syscall_exit_to_user_mode_prepare() helper

[Jinjie Ruan]

In the generic entry code, the part before
syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work() calls syscall_exit_work(), which
serves the same purpose as syscall_exit_to_user_mode_prepare()
in arm64.

In preparation for moving arm64 over to the generic entry
code, extract syscall_exit_to_user_mode_prepare() helper from
syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work().

No functional changes.

[PATCH -next v6 05/10] arm64/ptrace: Handle ptrace_report_syscall_entry() error

[Jinjie Ruan]

The generic entry handle error of ptrace_report_syscall_entry(), but
arm64 not.

As the comment said, the calling arch code should abort the system
call and must prevent normal entry so no system call is
made if ptrace_report_syscall_entry() return nonzero.

In preparation for moving arm64 over to the generic entry code,
return early if ptrace_report_syscall_entry() encounters an error.

[PATCH -next v6 06/10] arm64/ptrace: Rework secure_computing() in syscall_trace_enter()

[Jinjie Ruan]

The generic entry expand secure_computing() in place and call
__secure_computing() directly.

In order to switch to the generic entry for arm64, refactor
secure_computing() for syscall_trace_enter().

No functional changes.

[PATCH -next v6 07/10] arm64/ptrace: Use syscall_get_arguments() heleper

[Jinjie Ruan]

The generic entry check audit context first and use
syscall_get_arguments() helper.

In order to switch to the generic entry for arm64,

- Also use the syscall_get_arguments() helper.

- Extract the syscall_enter_audit() helper to make it clear.

- Check audit context for syscall_enter_audit(), which only adds
  one additional check without any other differences as
  audit_syscall_entry() check it first otherwise do nothing.

No functional changes.

[PATCH -next v6 08/10] entry: Add arch_ptrace_report_syscall_entry/exit()

[Jinjie Ruan]

Differ from generic entry, due to historical reasons, ARM64 need to
save/restore during syscall entry/exit because ARM64 use a scratch
register (ip(r12) on AArch32, x7 on AArch64) to denote syscall entry/exit.

In preparation for moving arm64 over to the generic entry code,
add arch_ptrace_report_syscall_entry/exit() as the default
ptrace_report_syscall_entry/exit() implementation. This allows
arm64 to implement the architecture specific version.

[PATCH -next v6 10/10] arm64: entry: Convert to generic entry

[Jinjie Ruan]

Currently, x86, Riscv, Loongarch use the generic entry which makes
maintainers' work easier and codes more elegant. ARM64 has already
switched to the generic IRQ entry, so completely convert arm64
to use the generic entry infrastructure from kernel/entry/*.

The changes are below:
 - Remove TIF_SYSCALL_* flag, _TIF_WORK_MASK, _TIF_SYSCALL_WORK.

 - Implement arch_ptrace_report_syscall_entry/exit() with
   report_syscall_enter/exit() to do arm64-specific save/restore
   during syscall entry/exit.

 - Remove arm64 syscall_trace_enter(), syscall_exit_to_user_mode_prepare(),
   and related sub-functions including syscall_trace_exit() and
   syscall_enter_audit(), by calling generic entry's functions with
   similar functionality.

Re: [PATCH -next v6 10/10] arm64: entry: Convert to generic entry

[kemal]

Hi, can you make it so that this patch series support Syscall User
Dispatch? There needs to be 2 changes:

1 - Implementing arch_syscall_is_vdso_sigreturn
Here is my implementation for it:
(I checked for syscallno unlike x86, which checks if the IP exactly
matches with the VDSO sigreturn symbol. This solution seems better to me)

bool arch_syscall_is_vdso_sigreturn(struct pt_regs *regs)
{
	unsigned long addr, pc;

	pc = regs->pc - 4;
#ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT
	if (is_compat_task()) {
		addr = (unsigned long)current->mm->context.sigpage;
		if (pc >= addr && pc < addr + PAGE_SIZE)
			return true;
		return false;
	}
#endif
	if (regs->syscallno != __NR_rt_sigreturn)
		return false;
	addr = (unsigned long)current->mm->context.vdso;
	if (pc < addr || pc >= addr + vdso_info[VDSO_ABI_AA64].vdso_pages * PAGE_SIZE)
		return false;
	return true;
}

2 - This trick shouldn't be done if the syscall will be catched by SUD:
if (scno == NO_SYSCALL)
	syscall_set_return_value(current, regs, -ENOSYS, 0);
As the ABI could be anything.

Thanks,

Thank you! I will try to implement arch_syscall_is_vdso_sigreturn() as
this and test it. By the way, is this for supporting arm64 in wine?

This requires discussion with Catalin and Will, which may alter the
original intent.

No, I don't even know if arm64 windows binaries do direct
syscalls. This is meant for some other project.

Sorry, I didnt read the code carefully, syscall_user_dispatch()
already calls syscall_rollback() which should restore x0 from
orig_x0.

You can test SUD using the selftest, but you need to add these
lines at the end of handle_sigsys() in sud_test.c:

#ifdef __aarch64__
	((ucontext_t *)ucontext)->uc_mcontext.regs[0] = (unsigned int)
			((ucontext_t *)ucontext)->uc_mcontext.regs[8];
#endif

and you should define TEST_BLOCKED_RETURN in sud_benchmark.c
to make sure arch_syscall_is_vdso_sigreturn works properly
