Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "The bulk is in-kernel pointer authentication, activity monitors and
  lots of asm symbol annotations. I also queued the sys_mremap() patch
  commenting the asymmetry in the address untagging.

  Summary:

   - In-kernel Pointer Authentication support (previously only offered
     to user space).

   - ARM Activity Monitors (AMU) extension support allowing better CPU
     utilisation numbers for the scheduler (frequency invariance).

   - Memory hot-remove support for arm64.

   - Lots of asm annotations (SYM_*) in preparation for the in-kernel
     Branch Target Identification (BTI) support.

   - arm64 perf updates: ARMv8.5-PMU 64-bit counters, refactoring the
     PMU init callbacks, support for new DT compatibles.

   - IPv6 header checksum optimisation.

   - Fixes: SDEI (software delegated exception interface) double-lock on
     hibernate with shared events.

   - Minor clean-ups and refactoring: cpu_ops accessor,
     cpu_do_switch_mm() converted to C, cpufeature finalisation helper.

   - sys_mremap() comment explaining the asymmetric address untagging
     behaviour"

+=======================================================
+Activity Monitors Unit (AMU) extension in AArch64 Linux
+=======================================================
+
+Author: Ionela Voinescu <ionela.voinescu@arm.com>
+
+Date: 2019-09-10
+
+This document briefly describes the provision of Activity Monitors Unit
+support in AArch64 Linux.
+
+
+Architecture overview
+---------------------
+
+The activity monitors extension is an optional extension introduced by the
+ARMv8.4 CPU architecture.
+
+The activity monitors unit, implemented in each CPU, provides performance
+counters intended for system management use. The AMU extension provides a
+system register interface to the counter registers and also supports an
+optional external memory-mapped interface.
+
+Version 1 of the Activity Monitors architecture implements a counter group
+of four fixed and architecturally defined 64-bit event counters.
+  - CPU cycle counter: increments at the frequency of the CPU.
+  - Constant counter: increments at the fixed frequency of the system
+    clock.
+  - Instructions retired: increments with every architecturally executed
+    instruction.
+  - Memory stall cycles: counts instruction dispatch stall cycles caused by
+    misses in the last level cache within the clock domain.
+
+When in WFI or WFE these counters do not increment.
+
+The Activity Monitors architecture provides space for up to 16 architected
+event counters. Future versions of the architecture may use this space to
+implement additional architected event counters.
+
+Additionally, version 1 implements a counter group of up to 16 auxiliary
+64-bit event counters.
+
+On cold reset all counters reset to 0.
+
+
+Basic support
+-------------
+
+The kernel can safely run a mix of CPUs with and without support for the
+activity monitors extension. Therefore, when CONFIG_ARM64_AMU_EXTN is
+selected we unconditionally enable the capability to allow any late CPU
+(secondary or hotplugged) to detect and use the feature.
+
+When the feature is detected on a CPU, we flag the availability of the
+feature but this does not guarantee the correct functionality of the
+counters, only the presence of the extension.
+
+Firmware (code running at higher exception levels, e.g. arm-tf) support is
+needed to:
+ - Enable access for lower exception levels (EL2 and EL1) to the AMU
+   registers.
+ - Enable the counters. If not enabled these will read as 0.
+ - Save/restore the counters before/after the CPU is being put/brought up
+   from the 'off' power state.
+
+When using kernels that have this feature enabled but boot with broken
+firmware the user may experience panics or lockups when accessing the
+counter registers. Even if these symptoms are not observed, the values
+returned by the register reads might not correctly reflect reality. Most
+commonly, the counters will read as 0, indicating that they are not
+enabled.
+
+If proper support is not provided in firmware it's best to disable
+CONFIG_ARM64_AMU_EXTN. To be noted that for security reasons, this does not
+bypass the setting of AMUSERENR_EL0 to trap accesses from EL0 (userspace) to
+EL1 (kernel). Therefore, firmware should still ensure accesses to AMU registers
+are not trapped in EL2/EL3.
+
+The fixed counters of AMUv1 are accessible though the following system
+register definitions:
+ - SYS_AMEVCNTR0_CORE_EL0
+ - SYS_AMEVCNTR0_CONST_EL0
+ - SYS_AMEVCNTR0_INST_RET_EL0
+ - SYS_AMEVCNTR0_MEM_STALL_EL0
+
+Auxiliary platform specific counters can be accessed using
+SYS_AMEVCNTR1_EL0(n), where n is a value between 0 and 15.
+
+Details can be found in: arch/arm64/include/asm/sysreg.h.
+
+
+Userspace access
+----------------
+
+Currently, access from userspace to the AMU registers is disabled due to:
+ - Security reasons: they might expose information about code executed in
+   secure mode.
+ - Purpose: AMU counters are intended for system management use.
+
+Also, the presence of the feature is not visible to userspace.
+
+
+Virtualization
+--------------
+
+Currently, access from userspace (EL0) and kernelspace (EL1) on the KVM
+guest side is disabled due to:
+ - Security reasons: they might expose information about code executed
+   by other guests or the host.
+
+Any attempt to access the AMU registers will result in an UNDEFINED
+exception being injected into the guest.

 timers, coherency and system registers apply to all CPUs.  All CPUs must
 enter the kernel in the same exception level.
