ILP32 VDSO exports following symbols:
__kernel_rt_sigreturn;
__kernel_gettimeofday;
__kernel_clock_gettime;
__kernel_clock_getres.
What shared object to use, kernel selects depending on result of
is_ilp32_compat_task() in arch/arm64/kernel/vdso.c, so it substitutes
correct pages and spec.
Adjusted to move the data page before code pages in sync with

When building the arm64 kernel with both CONFIG_ARM64_MODULE_PLTS and
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE enabled, the ftrace-mod.o object file is built
with the kernel and contains a trampoline that is linked into each
module, so that modules can be loaded far away from the kernel and
still reach the ftrace entry point in the core kernel with an ordinary
relative branch, as is emitted by the compiler instrumentation code
dynamic ftrace relies on.
In order to be able to build out of tree modules, this object file
needs to be included into the linux-headers or linux-devel packages,
which is undesirable, as it makes arm64 a special case (although a
precedent does exist for 32-bit PPC).
Given that the trampoline essentially consists of a PLT entry, let's
not bother with a source or object file for it, and simply patch it
in whenever the trampoline is being populated, using the existing
PLT support routines.

Versions of gcc prior to gcc 5 emitted a __multi3 function call when
dealing with TI types, resulting in failures when trying to link to
libgcc, and more generally, bad performance. However, since gcc 5,
the compiler supports actually emitting fast instructions, which means
we can at long last enable this option and receive the speedups.
The gcc commit that added proper Aarch64 support is:
https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commitdiff;h=d1ae7bb994f49316f6f63e6173f2931e837a351d
This commit appears to be part of the gcc 5 release.
There are still a few instructions, __ashlti3 and __ashrti3, which
require libgcc, which is fine. Rather than linking to libgcc, we
simply provide them ourselves, since they're not that complicated.

binutils 2.27
Upon upgrading to binutils 2.27, we found that our lz4 and gzip
compressed kernel images were significantly larger, resulting is 10ms
boot time regressions.
As noted by Rahul:
"aarch64 binaries uses RELA relocations, where each relocation entry
includes an addend value. This is similar to x86_64. On x86_64, the
addend values are also stored at the relocation offset for relative
relocations. This is an optimization: in the case where code does not
need to be relocated, the loader can simply skip processing relative
relocations. In binutils-2.25, both bfd and gold linkers did this for
x86_64, but only the gold linker did this for aarch64. The kernel build
here is using the bfd linker, which stored zeroes at the relocation
offsets for relative relocations. Since a set of zeroes compresses
better than a set of non-zero addend values, this behavior was resulting
in much better lz4 compression.
The bfd linker in binutils-2.27 is now storing the actual addend values
at the relocation offsets. The behavior is now consistent with what it
does for x86_64 and what gold linker does for both architectures. The
change happened in this upstream commit:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=1f56df9d0d5ad89806c24e71f296576d82344613
Since a bunch of zeroes got replaced by non-zero addend values, we see
the side effect of lz4 compressed image being a bit bigger.
To get the old behavior from the bfd linker, "--no-apply-dynamic-relocs"
flag can be used:
$ LDFLAGS="--no-apply-dynamic-relocs" make
With this flag, the compressed image size is back to what it was with
binutils-2.25.
If the kernel is using ASLR, there aren't additional runtime costs to
--no-apply-dynamic-relocs, as the relocations will need to be applied
again anyway after the kernel is relocated to a random address.
If the kernel is not using ASLR, then presumably the current default
behavior of the linker is better. Since the static linker performed the
dynamic relocs, and the kernel is not moved to a different address at
load time, it can skip applying the relocations all over again."
Some measurements:

By Siqi's measurement w/ gzip:
binutils 2.27 with this patch (with --no-apply-dynamic-relocs):
Image 41535488
Image.gz 13404067
binutils 2.27 without this patch (without --no-apply-dynamic-relocs):
Image 41535488
Image.gz 14125516
Any compression scheme should be able to get better results from the
longer runs of zeros, not just GZIP and LZ4.
10ms boot time savings isn't anything to get excited about, but users of
arm64+compression+bfd-2.27 should not have to pay a penalty for no
runtime improvement.

The kernel needs to be compiled as a LP64 binary for ARM64, even when
using a compiler that defaults to code-generation for the ILP32 ABI.
Consequently, we need to explicitly pass '-mabi=lp64' (supported on
gcc-4.9 and newer).

ARM64 depends on the macro __AARCH64EB__ being defined or not
to correctly select or define endian-specific macros, structures
or pieces of code.
This macro is predefined by the compiler but sparse knows nothing
about it and thus may pre-process files differently from what
gcc would.
Fix this by passing '-D__AARCH64EL__' or '-D__AARCH64EB__' to
sparse depending of the endianness of the kernel, like defined
by GCC.
Note: In most case it won't change anything since most arm64 use
little-endian (but an allyesconfig would use big-endian!).

When using sparse on the arm64 tree we get many thousands of
warnings like 'constant ... is so big it is unsigned long long'
or 'shift too big (32) for type unsigned long'. This happens
because by default sparse considers the machine as 32bit and
defines the size of the types accordingly.
Fix this by passing the '-m64' flag to sparse so that
sparse can correctly define longs as being 64bit.

Currently, dynamic ftrace support in the arm64 kernel assumes that all
core kernel code is within range of ordinary branch instructions that
occur in module code, which is usually the case, but is no longer
guaranteed now that we have support for module PLTs and address space
randomization.
Since on arm64, all patching of branch instructions involves function
calls to the same entry point [ftrace_caller()], we can emit the modules
with a trampoline that has unlimited range, and patch both the trampoline
itself and the branch instruction to redirect the call via the trampoline.

Since bbb56c27228d ("arm64: Add detection code for broken .inst support
in binutils"), running any make target that doesn't involve the cross
compiler results in a spurious warning:
$ make ARCH=arm64 menuconfig
arch/arm64/Makefile:43: Detected assembler with broken .inst; disassembly will be unreliable
while
$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-arm-linux- menuconfig
is silent (assuming your compiler is not affected). That's because
the code that tests for the workaround is always run, irrespective
of the current configuration being available or not.
An easy fix is to make the detection conditional on CONFIG_ARM64
being defined, which is only the case when actually building
something.

Binutils version up to (and including) 2.25 have a pathological
behaviour when it comes to mixing .inst directive and arithmetic
involving labels. The assembler complains about non-constant
expressions and compilation stops pretty quickly.
In order to detect this and work around it, let's add a bit of
detection code that will set the CONFIG_BROKEN_GAS_INST option
should a broken gas be detected.

GNU ld used to set the ELF file type to ET_DYN for PIE executables, which
is the same file type used for shared libraries. However, this was changed
recently, and now PIE executables are emitted as ET_EXEC instead.
The distinction is only relevant for ELF loaders, and so there is little
reason to care about the difference when building the kernel, which is
why the change has gone unnoticed until now.
However, debuggers do use the ELF binary, and expect ET_EXEC type files
to appear in memory at the exact offset described in the ELF metadata.
This means source level debugging is no longer possible when KASLR is in
effect or when executing the stub.
So add the -shared LD option when building with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. This
forces the ELF file type to be set to ET_DYN (which is what you get when
building with binutils 2.24 and earlier anyway), and has no other ill
effects.

The linker routines that we rely on to produce a relocatable PIE binary
treat it as a shared ELF object in some ways, i.e., it emits symbol based
R_AARCH64_ABS64 relocations into the final binary since doing so would be
appropriate when linking a shared library that is subject to symbol
preemption. (This means that an executable can override certain symbols
that are exported by a shared library it is linked with, and that the
shared library *must* update all its internal references as well, and point
them to the version provided by the executable.)
Symbol preemption does not occur for OS hosted PIE executables, let alone
for vmlinux, and so we would prefer to get rid of these symbol based
relocations. This would allow us to simplify the relocation routines, and
to strip the .dynsym, .dynstr and .hash sections from the binary. (Note
that these are tiny, and are placed in the .init segment, but they clutter
up the vmlinux binary.)
Note that these R_AARCH64_ABS64 relocations are only emitted for absolute
references to symbols defined in the linker script, all other relocatable
quantities are covered by anonymous R_AARCH64_RELATIVE relocations that
simply list the offsets to all 64-bit values in the binary that need to be
fixed up based on the offset between the link time and run time addresses.
Fortunately, GNU ld has a -Bsymbolic option, which is intended for shared
libraries to allow them to ignore symbol preemption, and unconditionally
bind all internal symbol references to its own definitions. So set it for
our PIE binary as well, and get rid of the asoociated sections and the
relocation code that processes them.

We currently define OBJCOPYFLAGS in the top-level arm64 Makefile, and
thus these flags will be passed to all uses of objcopy, kernel-wide, for
which they are not explicitly overridden. The flags we set are intended
for converting vmlinux (and ELF) into Image (a raw binary), and thus the
flags chosen are problematic for some other uses which do not expect a
raw binary result, e.g. the upcoming lkdtm rodata test:
http://www.openwall.com/lists/kernel-hardening/2016/06/08/2
This patch localises the objcopy flags such that they are only used for
the vmlinux -> Image conversion.

arm64/kernel/{vdso,signal}.c include vdso-offsets.h, as well as any
file that includes asm/vdso.h. Therefore, vdso-offsets.h must be
generated before these files are compiled.
The current rules in arm64/kernel/Makefile do not actually enforce
this, because even though $(obj)/vdso is listed as a prerequisite for
vdso-offsets.h, this does not result in the intended effect of
building the vdso subdirectory (before all the other objects). As a
consequence, depending on the order in which the rules are followed,
vdso-offsets.h is updated or not before arm64/kernel/{vdso,signal}.o
are built. The current rules also impose an unnecessary dependency on
vdso-offsets.h for all arm64/kernel/*.o, resulting in unnecessary
rebuilds. This is made obvious when using make -j:
touch arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/gettimeofday.S && make -j$NCPUS arch/arm64/kernel
will sometimes result in none of arm64/kernel/*.o being
rebuilt, sometimes all of them, or even just some of them.
It is quite difficult to ensure that a header is generated before it
is used with recursive Makefiles by using normal rules. Instead,
arch-specific generated headers are normally built in the archprepare
recipe in the arch Makefile (see for instance arch/ia64/Makefile).
Unfortunately, asm-offsets.h is included in gettimeofday.S, and must
therefore be generated before vdso-offsets.h, which is not the case if
archprepare is used. For this reason, a rule run after archprepare has
to be used.
This commit adds rules in arm64/Makefile to build vdso-offsets.h
during the prepare step, ensuring that vdso-offsets.h is generated
before building anything. It also removes the now-unnecessary
dependencies on vdso-offsets.h in arm64/kernel/Makefile. Finally, it
removes the duplication of asm-offsets.h between arm64/kernel/vdso/
and include/generated/ and makes include/generated/vdso-offsets.h a
target in arm64/kernel/vdso/Makefile.

Commit 7eb90f2ff7e3 ("arm64: cover the .head.text section in the .text
segment mapping") removed the alignment between the .head.text and .text
sections, and used the _text rather than the _stext interval for mapping
the .text segment.
Prior to this commit _stext was always section aligned and didn't cause
any issue even when RANDOMIZE_TEXT_OFFSET was enabled. Since that
alignment has been removed and _text is used to map the .text segment,
we need ensure _text is always page aligned when RANDOMIZE_TEXT_OFFSET
is enabled.
This patch adds logic to TEXT_OFFSET fuzzing to ensure that the offset
is always aligned to the kernel page size. To ensure this, we rely on
the PAGE_SHIFT being available via Kconfig.

to the bottom of the linear mapping (PAGE_OFFSET) but at the bottom
of the vmalloc space, allowing the kernel to be loaded (nearly)
anywhere in physical RAM
- Kernel ASLR: position independent kernel Image and modules being
randomly mapped in the vmalloc space with the randomness is
provided by UEFI (efi_get_random_bytes() patches merged via the
arm64 tree, acked by Matt Fleming)
- Implement relative exception tables for arm64, required by KASLR
(initial code for ARCH_HAS_RELATIVE_EXTABLE added to lib/extable.c
but actual x86 conversion to deferred to 4.7 because of the merge
dependencies)
- Support for the User Access Override feature of ARMv8.2: this
allows uaccess functions (get_user etc.) to be implemented using
LDTR/STTR instructions. Such instructions, when run by the kernel,
perform unprivileged accesses adding an extra level of protection.
The set_fs() macro is used to "upgrade" such instruction to
privileged accesses via the UAO bit

This adds support for emitting PLTs at module load time for relative
branches that are out of range. This is a prerequisite for KASLR, which
may place the kernel and the modules anywhere in the vmalloc area,
making it more likely that branch target offsets exceed the maximum
range of +/- 128 MB.
In this version, I removed the distinction between relocations against
.init executable sections and ordinary executable sections. The reason
is that it is hardly worth the trouble, given that .init.text usually
does not contain that many far branches, and this version now only
reserves PLT entry space for jump and call relocations against undefined
symbols (since symbols defined in the same module can be assumed to be
within +/- 128 MB)
For example, the mac80211.ko module (which is fairly sizable at ~400 KB)
built with -mcmodel=large gives the following relocation counts:
relocs branches unique !local
.text 3925 3347 518 219
.init.text 11 8 7 1
.exit.text 4 4 4 1
.text.unlikely 81 67 36 17
('unique' means branches to unique type/symbol/addend combos, of which
!local is the subset referring to undefined symbols)
IOW, we are only emitting a single PLT entry for the .init sections, and
we are better off just adding it to the core PLT section instead.

By default the aarch64 gcc generates .eh_frame sections. Unlike
.debug_frame sections, the .eh_frame sections are loaded into memory
when the associated code is loaded. On an example kernel being built
with this default the .eh_frame section in vmlinux used an extra 1.7MB
of memory. The x86 disables the creation of the .eh_frame section.
The aarch64 should probably do the same to save some memory.

This patch adds arch specific code for kernel address sanitizer
(see Documentation/kasan.txt).
1/8 of kernel addresses reserved for shadow memory. There was no
big enough hole for this, so virtual addresses for shadow were
stolen from vmalloc area.
At early boot stage the whole shadow region populated with just
one physical page (kasan_zero_page). Later, this page reused
as readonly zero shadow for some memory that KASan currently
don't track (vmalloc).
After mapping the physical memory, pages for shadow memory are
allocated and mapped.
Functions like memset/memmove/memcpy do a lot of memory accesses.
If bad pointer passed to one of these function it is important
to catch this. Compiler's instrumentation cannot do this since
these functions are written in assembly.
KASan replaces memory functions with manually instrumented variants.
Original functions declared as weak symbols so strong definitions
in mm/kasan/kasan.c could replace them. Original functions have aliases
with '__' prefix in name, so we could call non-instrumented variant
if needed.
Some files built without kasan instrumentation (e.g. mm/slub.c).
Original mem* function replaced (via #define) with prefixed variants
to disable memory access checks for such files.

Commit df057cc7b4fa ("arm64: errata: add module build workaround for
erratum #843419") sets CFLAGS_MODULE to ensure that the large memory
model is used by the compiler when building kernel modules.
However, CFLAGS_MODULE is an environment variable and intended to be
overridden on the command line, which appears to be the case with the
Ubuntu kernel packaging system, so use KBUILD_CFLAGS_MODULE instead.

Cortex-A53 processors <= r0p4 are affected by erratum #843419 which can
lead to a memory access using an incorrect address in certain sequences
headed by an ADRP instruction.
There is a linker fix to generate veneers for ADRP instructions, but
this doesn't work for kernel modules which are built as unlinked ELF
objects.
This patch adds a new config option for the erratum which, when enabled,
builds kernel modules with the mcmodel=large flag. This uses absolute
addressing for all kernel symbols, thereby removing the use of ADRP as
a PC-relative form of addressing. The ADRP relocs are removed from the
module loader so that we fail to load any potentially affected modules.

On CPUs which support the LSE atomic instructions introduced in ARMv8.1,
it makes sense to use them in preference to ll/sc sequences.
This patch introduces runtime patching of atomic_t and atomic64_t
routines so that the call-site for the out-of-line ll/sc sequences is
patched with an LSE atomic instruction when we detect that
the CPU supports it.
If binutils is not recent enough to assemble the LSE instructions, then
the ll/sc sequences are inlined as though CONFIG_ARM64_LSE_ATOMICS=n.

Commit f4f75ad5 ("efi: efistub: Convert into static library")
introduced a static library for EFI stub, libstub.
The EFI libstub directory is referenced by the kernel build system via
a obj subdirectory rule in:
drivers/firmware/efi/Makefile
Unfortunately, arm64 also references the EFI libstub via:
libs-$(CONFIG_EFI_STUB) += drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/
If we're unlucky, the kernel build system can enter libstub via two
simultaneous threads resulting in build failures such as:
fixdep: error opening depfile: drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/.efi-stub-helper.o.d: No such file or directory
scripts/Makefile.build:257: recipe for target 'drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/efi-stub-helper.o' failed

Makefile:939: recipe for target 'drivers/firmware/efi/libstub' failed
make: *** [drivers/firmware/efi/libstub] Error 2
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
This patch adjusts the arm64 Makefile to reference the compiled library
explicitly (as is currently done in x86), rather than the directory.

The arm64 kernel builds fine without the libgcc. Actually it should not
be used at all in the kernel. The following are the reasons indicated
by Russell King:
Although libgcc is part of the compiler, libgcc is built with the
expectation that it will be running in userland - it expects to link
to a libc. That's why you can't build libgcc without having the glibc
headers around.
[...]
Meanwhile, having the kernel build the compiler support functions that
it needs ensures that (a) we know what compiler support functions are
being used, (b) we know the implementation of those support functions
are sane for use in the kernel, (c) we can build them with appropriate
compiler flags for best performance, and (d) we remove an unnecessary
dependency on the build toolchain.

When booting via UEFI, the kernel Image is loaded at a 4 kB boundary and
the embedded EFI stub is executed in place. The EFI stub relocates the
Image to reside TEXT_OFFSET bytes above a 2 MB boundary, and jumps into
the kernel proper.
In AArch64, PC relative symbol references are emitted using adrp/add or
adrp/ldr pairs, where the offset into a 4 kB page is resolved using a
separate :lo12: relocation. This implicitly assumes that the code will
always be executed at the same relative offset with respect to a 4 kB
boundary, or the references will point to the wrong address.
This means we should link the kernel at a 4 kB aligned base address in
order to remain compatible with the base address the UEFI loader uses
when doing the initial load of Image. So update the code that generates
TEXT_OFFSET to choose a multiple of 4 kB.
At the same time, update the code so it chooses from the interval [0..2MB)
as the author originally intended.

This patch changes both x86 and arm64 efistub implementations
from #including shared .c files under drivers/firmware/efi to
building shared code as a static library.
The x86 code uses a stub built into the boot executable which
uncompresses the kernel at boot time. In this case, the library is
linked into the decompressor.
In the arm64 case, the stub is part of the kernel proper so the library
is linked into the kernel proper as well.

The arm64 Image header contains a text_offset field which bootloaders
are supposed to read to determine the offset (from a 2MB aligned "start
of memory" per booting.txt) at which to load the kernel. The offset is
not well respected by bootloaders at present, and due to the lack of
variation there is little incentive to support it. This is unfortunate
for the sake of future kernels where we may wish to vary the text offset
(even zeroing it).
This patch adds options to arm64 to enable fuzz-testing of text_offset.
CONFIG_ARM64_RANDOMIZE_TEXT_OFFSET forces the text offset to a random
16-byte aligned value value in the range [0..2MB) upon a build of the
kernel. It is recommended that distribution kernels enable randomization
to test bootloaders such that any compliance issues can be fixed early.
