The pgprot_dmacoherent() is used when allocating memory for
non-coherent devices and by default pgprot_dmacoherent() is
same as pgprot_noncached() unless architecture overrides it.
Currently, there is no pgprot_dmacoherent() definition for
RISC-V hence non-coherent device memory is being mapped as
IO thereby making CPU access to such memory slow.
Define pgprot_dmacoherent() to be same as pgprot_writecombine()
for RISC-V so that CPU access non-coherent device memory as
NOCACHE which is better than accessing it as IO.

While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__
automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a
macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel.
This can be very confusing when switching between userspace
and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that
rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize on
the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers now.
This originally was a completely mechanical patch (done with a
simple "sed -i" statement), with some manual fixups during
rebasing of the patch later.

This reverts commit ad5643cf2f ("riscv: Define TASK_SIZE_MAX for
__access_ok()").
This commit changes TASK_SIZE_MAX to be LONG_MAX to optimize access_ok(),
because the previous TASK_SIZE_MAX (default to TASK_SIZE) requires some
computation.
The reasoning was that all user addresses are less than LONG_MAX, and all
kernel addresses are greater than LONG_MAX. Therefore access_ok() can
filter kernel addresses.
Addresses between TASK_SIZE and LONG_MAX are not valid user addresses, but
access_ok() let them pass. That was thought to be okay, because they are
not valid addresses at hardware level.
Unfortunately, one case is missed: get_user_pages_fast() happily accepts
addresses between TASK_SIZE and LONG_MAX. futex(), for instance, uses
get_user_pages_fast(). This causes the problem reported by Robert [1].
Therefore, revert this commit. TASK_SIZE_MAX is changed to the default:
TASK_SIZE.
This unfortunately reduces performance, because TASK_SIZE is more expensive
to compute compared to LONG_MAX. But correctness first, we can think about
optimization later, if required.

Currently, RISC-V NOMMU kernels are linked at CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET, and
since they are not relocatable, must be loaded at this address as well.
CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET is not a user-visible Kconfig option, so its value is
not obvious, and users must patch the kernel source if they want to load
it at a different address.
Make NOMMU kernels more portable by making them relocatable by default.
This allows a single kernel binary to work when loaded at any address.

The current definition of CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET is problematic for a couple
of reasons:
1) The value is misleading for normal 64-bit kernels, where it is
overridden at runtime if Sv48 or Sv39 is chosen. This is especially
the case for XIP kernels, which always use Sv39.
2) The option is not user-visible, but for NOMMU kernels it must be a
valid RAM address, and for !RELOCATABLE it must additionally be the
exact address where the kernel is loaded.
Fix both of these by removing the option.
1) For MMU kernels, drop the indirection through Kconfig. Additionally,
for XIP, drop the indirection through kernel_map.
2) For NOMMU kernels, use the user-visible physical RAM base if
provided. Otherwise, force the kernel to be relocatable.

In sparse vmemmap model, the virtual address of vmemmap is calculated as:
((struct page *)VMEMMAP_START - (phys_ram_base >> PAGE_SHIFT)).
And the struct page's va can be calculated with an offset:
(vmemmap + (pfn)).
However, when initializing struct pages, kernel actually starts from the
first page from the same section that phys_ram_base belongs to. If the
first page's physical address is not (phys_ram_base >> PAGE_SHIFT), then
we get an va below VMEMMAP_START when calculating va for it's struct page.
For example, if phys_ram_base starts from 0x82000000 with pfn 0x82000, the
first page in the same section is actually pfn 0x80000. During
init_unavailable_range(), we will initialize struct page for pfn 0x80000
with virtual address ((struct page *)VMEMMAP_START - 0x2000), which is
below VMEMMAP_START as well as PCI_IO_END.
This commit fixes this bug by introducing a new variable
'vmemmap_start_pfn' which is aligned with memory section size and using
it to calculate vmemmap address instead of phys_ram_base.

Svade and Svadu extensions represent two schemes for managing the PTE A/D
bits. When the PTE A/D bits need to be set, Svade extension intdicates
that a related page fault will be raised. In contrast, the Svadu extension
supports hardware updating of PTE A/D bits. Since the Svade extension is
mandatory and the Svadu extension is optional in RVA23 profile, by default
the M-mode firmware will enable the Svadu extension in the menvcfg CSR
when only Svadu is present in DT.
This patch detects Svade and Svadu extensions from DT and adds
arch_has_hw_pte_young() to enable optimization in MGLRU and
__wp_page_copy_user() when we have the PTE A/D bits hardware updating
support.

In RISC-V, after a new mapping is established, a sfence.vma needs to be
emitted for different reasons:
- if the uarch caches invalid entries, we need to invalidate it otherwise
we would trap on this invalid entry,
- if the uarch does not cache invalid entries, a reordered access could fail
to see the new mapping and then trap (sfence.vma acts as a fence).
We can actually avoid emitting those (mostly) useless and costly sfence.vma
by handling the traps instead:
- for new kernel mappings: only vmalloc mappings need to be taken care of,
other new mapping are rare and already emit the required sfence.vma if
needed.
That must be achieved very early in the exception path as explained in
patch 3, and this also fixes our fragile way of dealing with vmalloc faults.
- for new user mappings: Svvptc makes update_mmu_cache() a no-op but we can
take some gratuitous page faults (which are very unlikely though).
Patch 1 and 2 introduce Svvptc extension probing.
On our uarch that does not cache invalid entries and a 6.5 kernel, the
gains are measurable:
* Kernel boot: 6%
* ltp - mmapstress01: 8%
* lmbench - lat_pagefault: 20%
* lmbench - lat_mmap: 5%
Here are the corresponding numbers of sfence.vma emitted:
* Ubuntu boot to login:
Before: ~630k sfence.vma
After: ~200k sfence.vma
* ltp - mmapstress01
Before: ~45k
After: ~6.3k
* lmbench - lat_pagefault

The preventive sfence.vma were emitted because new mappings must be made
visible to the page table walker but Svvptc guarantees that it will
happen within a bounded timeframe, so no need to sfence.vma for the uarchs
that implement this extension, we will then take gratuitous (but very
unlikely) page faults, similarly to x86 and arm64.
This allows to drastically reduce the number of sfence.vma emitted:
* Ubuntu boot to login:
Before: ~630k sfence.vma
After: ~200k sfence.vma
* ltp - mmapstress01
Before: ~45k

The XIP_FIXUP macro is used to fix addresses early during boot before MMU:
generated code "thinks" the data section is in ROM while it is actually in
RAM. So this macro corrects the addresses in the data section.
This macro determines if the address needs to be fixed by checking if it is
within the range starting from ROM address up to the size of (2 *
XIP_OFFSET).
This means if the kernel size is bigger than (2 * XIP_OFFSET), some
addresses would not be fixed up.
XIP kernel can still work if the above scenario does not happen. But this
macro is obviously incorrect.
Rewrite this macro to only fix up addresses within the data section.

Memory Hot(Un)Plug support (and ZONE_DEVICE) for the RISC-V port
================================================================
Introduction
============
To quote "Documentation/admin-guide/mm/memory-hotplug.rst": "Memory
hot(un)plug allows for increasing and decreasing the size of physical
memory available to a machine at runtime."
This series adds memory hot(un)plugging, and ZONE_DEVICE support for
the RISC-V Linux port.
MM configuration
================
RISC-V MM has the following configuration:
* Memory blocks are 128M, analogous to x86-64. It uses PMD
("hugepage") vmemmaps. From that follows that 2M (PMD) worth of
vmemmap spans 32768 pages á 4K which gets us 128M.
* The pageblock size is the minimum minimum virtio_mem size, and on
RISC-V it's 2M (2^9 * 4K).
Implementation
==============
The PGD table on RISC-V is shared/copied between for all processes. To
avoid doing page table synchronization, the first patch (patch 1)
pre-allocated the PGD entries for vmemmap/direct map. By doing that
the init_mm PGD will be fixed at kernel init, and synchronization can
be avoided all together.
The following two patches (patch 2-3) does some preparations, followed
by the actual MHP implementation (patch 4-5). Then, MHP and virtio-mem
are enabled (patch 6-7), and finally ZONE_DEVICE support is added
(patch 8).
MHP and locking
===============
TL;DR: The MHP does not step on any toes, except for ptdump.
Additional locking is required for ptdump.
Long version: For v2 I spent some time digging into init_mm
synchronization/update. Here are my findings, and I'd love them to be
corrected if incorrect.
It's been a gnarly path...
The `init_mm` structure is a special mm (perhaps not a "real" one).
It's a "lazy context" that tracks kernel page table resources, e.g.,
the kernel page table (swapper_pg_dir), a kernel page_table_lock (more
about the usage below), mmap_lock, and such.
`init_mm` does not track/contain any VMAs. Having the `init_mm` is
convenient, so that the regular kernel page table walk/modify
functions can be used.
Now, `init_mm` being special means that the locking for kernel page
tables are special as well.
On RISC-V the PGD (top-level page table structure), similar to x86, is
shared (copied) with user processes. If the kernel PGD is modified, it
has to be synched to user-mode processes PGDs. This is avoided by
pre-populating the PGD, so it'll be fixed from boot.
The in-kernel pgd regions are documented in
`Documentation/arch/riscv/vm-layout.rst`.
The distinct regions are:
* vmemmap
* vmalloc/ioremap space
* direct mapping of all physical memory
* kasan
* modules, BPF
* kernel
Memory hotplug is the process of adding/removing memory to/from the
kernel.
Adding is done in two phases:
1. Add the memory to the kernel
2. Online memory, making it available to the page allocator.
Step 1 is partially architecture dependent, and updates the init_mm
page table:
* Update the direct map page tables. The direct map is a linear map,
representing all physical memory: `virt = phys + PAGE_OFFSET`
* Add a `struct page` for each added page of memory. Update the
vmemmap (virtual mapping to the `struct page`, so we can easily
transform a kernel virtual address to a `struct page *` address.
From an MHP perspective, there are two regions of the PGD that are
updated:
* vmemmap
* direct mapping of all physical memory
The `struct mm_struct` has a couple of locks in play:
* `spinlock_t page_table_lock` protects the page table, and some
counters
* `struct rw_semaphore mmap_lock` protect an mm's VMAs
Note again that `init_mm` does not contain any VMAs, but still uses
the mmap_lock in some places.
The `page_table_lock` was originally used to to protect all pages
tables, but more recently a split page table lock has been introduced.
The split lock has a per-table lock for the PTE and PMD tables. If
split lock is disabled, all tables are guarded by
`mm->page_table_lock` (for user processes). Split page table locks are
not used for init_mm.
MHP operations is typically synchronized using
`DEFINE_STATIC_PERCPU_RWSEM(mem_hotplug_lock)`.
Actors
------
The following non-MHP actors in the kernel traverses (read), and/or
modifies the kernel PGD.
* `ptdump`
Walks the entire `init_mm`, via `ptdump_walk_pgd()` with the
`mmap_write_lock(init_mm)` taken.
Observation: ptdump can race with MHP, and needs additional locking
to avoid crashes/races.
* `set_direct_*` / `arch/riscv/mm/pageattr.c`
The `set_direct_*` functionality is used to "synchronize" the
direct map to other kernel mappings, e.g. modules/kernel text. The
direct map is using "as large huge table mappings as possible",
which means that the `set_direct_*` might need to split the direct
map.
The `set_direct_*` functions operates with the
`mmap_write_lock(init_mm)` taken.
Observation: `set_direct_*` uses the direct map, but will never
modify the same entry as MHP. If there is a mapping, that entry will
never race with MHP. Further, MHP acts when memory is offline.
* HVO / `mm/hugetlb_vmemmap`
HVO optimizes the backing `struct page` for hugetlb pages, which
means changing the "vmemmap" region. HVO can split (merge?) a
vmemmap pmd. However, it will never race with MHP, since HVO only
operates at online memory. HVO cannot touch memory being MHP added
or removed.
* `apply_to_page_range`
Walks a range, creates pages and applies a callback (setting
permissions) for the page.
When creating a table, it might use `int __pte_alloc_kernel(pmd_t
*pmd)` which takes the `init_mm.page_table_lock` to synchronize pmd
populate.
Used by: `mm/vmalloc.c` and `mm/kasan/shadow.c`. The KASAN callback
takes the `init_mm.page_table_lock` to synchronize pte creation.
Observations: `apply_to_page_range` applies to the "vmalloc/ioremap
space" region, and "kasan" region. *Not* affected by MHP.
* `apply_to_existing_page_range`
Walks a range, applies a callback (setting permissions) for the
page (no page creation).
Used by: `kernel/bpf/arena.c` and `mm/kasan/shadow.c`. The KASAN
callback takes the `init_mm.page_table_lock` to synchronize pte
creation. *Not* affected by MHP regions.
* `apply_to_existing_page_range` applies to the "vmalloc/ioremap
space" region, and "kasan" region. *Not* affected by MHP regions.
* `ioremap_page_range` and `vmap_page_range`
Uses the same internal function, and might create table entries at
the "vmalloc/ioremap space" region. Can call
`__pte_alloc_kernel()` which takes the `init_mm.page_table_lock`
synchronizing pmd populate in the region. *Not* affected by MHP
regions.
Summary:
* MHP add will never modify the same page table entries, as any of
the other actors.
* MHP remove is done when memory is offlined, and will not clash
with any of the actors.
* Functions that walk the entire kernel page table need
synchronization
* It's sufficient to add the MHP lock ptdump.
Testing
=======
This series adds basic DT supported hotplugging. There is a QEMU
series enabling MHP for the RISC-V "virt" machine here: [1]
ACPI/MSI support is still in the making for RISC-V, and prior proper
(ACPI) PCI MSI support lands [2] and NUMA SRAT support [3], it hard to
try it out.
I've prepared a QEMU branch with proper ACPI GED/PC-DIMM support [4],
and a this series with the required prerequisites [5] (AIA, ACPI AIA
MADT, ACPI NUMA SRAT).
To test with virtio-mem, e.g.:
| qemu-system-riscv64 \
| -machine virt,aia=aplic-imsic \
| -cpu rv64,v=true,vlen=256,elen=64,h=true,zbkb=on,zbkc=on,zbkx=on,zkr=on,zkt=on,svinval=on,svnapot=on,svpbmt=on \
| -nodefaults \
| -nographic -smp 8 -kernel rv64-u-boot.bin \
| -drive file=rootfs.img,format=raw,if=virtio \
| -device virtio-rng-pci \
| -m 16G,slots=3,maxmem=32G \
| -object memory-backend-ram,id=mem0,size=16G \
| -numa node,nodeid=0,memdev=mem0 \
| -serial chardev:char0 \
| -mon chardev=char0,mode=readline \
| -chardev stdio,mux=on,id=char0 \
| -device pci-serial,id=serial0,chardev=char0 \
| -object memory-backend-ram,id=vmem0,size=2G \
| -device virtio-mem-pci,id=vm0,memdev=vmem0,node=0
where "rv64-u-boot.bin" is U-boot with EFI/ACPI-support (use [6] if
you're lazy).
In the QEMU monitor:
| (qemu) info memory-devices
| (qemu) qom-set vm0 requested-size 1G
...to test DAX/KMEM, use the follow QEMU parameters:
| -object memory-backend-file,id=mem1,share=on,mem-path=virtio_pmem.img,size=4G \
| -device virtio-pmem-pci,memdev=mem1,id=nv1
and the regular ndctl/daxctl dance.
If you're brave to try the ACPI branch, add "acpi=on" to "-machine
virt", and test PC-DIMM MHP (in addition to virtio-{p},mem):
In the QEMU monitor:
| (qemu) object_add memory-backend-ram,id=mem1,size=1G
| (qemu) device_add pc-dimm,id=dimm1,memdev=mem1
You can also try hot-remove with some QEMU options, say:
| -object memory-backend-file,id=mem-1,size=256M,mem-path=/pagesize-2MB
| -device pc-dimm,id=mem1,memdev=mem-1
| -object memory-backend-file,id=mem-2,size=1G,mem-path=/pagesize-1GB
| -device pc-dimm,id=mem2,memdev=mem-2
| -object memory-backend-file,id=mem-3,size=256M,mem-path=/pagesize-2MB
| -device pc-dimm,id=mem3,memdev=mem-3
Remove "acpi=on" to run with DT.
Thanks to Alex, Andrew, David, and Oscar for all
comments/tests/fixups.

Prepare for memory hotplugging support by changing from __init to
__meminit for the page table functions that are used by the upcoming
architecture specific callbacks.
Changing the __init attribute to __meminit, avoids that the functions
are removed after init. The __meminit attribute makes sure the
functions are kept in the kernel text post init, but only if memory
hotplugging is enabled for the build.

This series optimizes access_ok() by defining TASK_SIZE_MAX. At Alex's
suggestion, I also tried making TASK_SIZE constant (specifically by
making PGDIR_SHIFT a variable instead of a ternary expression, then
replacing the load with an immediate using ALTERNATIVE). This appeared
to slightly improve performance on some implementations (C906) but
regressed it on others (FU740). So I am leaving further optimizations to
a later series.

TASK_SIZE_MAX should be set to a constant value, at least the largest
valid userspace address under any runtime configuration. This optimizes
the check in __access_ok(), which no longer needs to compute the runtime
value of TASK_SIZE. The check does not need to be exact, as long as it
accepts all valid userspace addresses and rejects all valid kernel
addresses; well-behaved programs will never fail the access_ok() check.
For RISC-V, which requires all virtual addresses to be sign extended,
the optimal choice is LONG_MAX because it simplifies the limit
comparison to a sign bit test.
This removes about half of the references to pgtable_l[45]_enabled.
