Subject: [PATCH] ARM: 9477/1: Disable broken eBPF JIT on the Risc PC

The eBPF JIT unconditionally generates ldrh/strh instructions, which do not function correctly on the Risc PC because its bus is unable to signal half-word accesses. Work around this issue by disabling the eBPF JIT when building for ARMv3 (the Risc PC is the only currently supported machine whose kernel is built for ARMv3).

Comments from Ethan Nelson-Moore:

From LKML: https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAD++jL=0qYGoygUwGEXQL7C_ROnC7kfpRv8RA+H5tNWwYu+pQA@mail.gmail.com/

The commit message has been updated slightly relative to the version on LKML to clarify that the Risc PC is not actually ARMv3.

Fixes 39c13c204bb1 ("arm: eBPF JIT compiler")

PATCH 1/5 context_tracking: Add a note about noinstr VS unsafe context tracking functions

From: Frederic Weisbecker <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit f67671baadf6dbae8eca46cb95e85b762e462b2b ]

Some context tracking functions enter or exit into/from RCU idle mode while using trace-able and lockdep-aware IRQs (un-)masking. As a result those functions can't get tagged as noinstr. This is unlikely to be fixed since these are obsolete APIs. Drop a note about this matter.

PATCH 2/5 context_tracking: Rename context_tracking_user_enter/exit() to user_enter/exit_callable()

From: Frederic Weisbecker <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit f163f0302ab69722c052519f4014814bf10026a9 ]

context_tracking_user_enter() and context_tracking_user_exit() are ASM callable versions of user_enter() and user_exit() for architectures that didn't manage to check the context tracking static key from ASM. Change those function names to better reflect their purpose.

PATCH 3/5 context_tracking: Rename context_tracking_cpu_set() to ct_cpu_track_user()

In reply to Sasha Levin

From: Frederic Weisbecker <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 2a0aafce963dab996b843f6cdb49237b0ae4a118 ]

context_tracking_cpu_set() is called in order to tell a CPU to track user/kernel transitions. Since context tracking is going to expand in to also track transitions from/to idle/IRQ/NMIs, the scope of this function name becomes too broad and needs to be made more specific. Also shorten the prefix to align with the new namespace.

Context tracking is going to be used not only to track user transitions but also idle/IRQs/NMIs. The user tracking part will then become a separate feature. Prepare Kconfig for that.

PATCH 5/5 ARM: 9477/1: Disable broken eBPF JIT on the Risc PC

In reply to Sasha Levin

From: Ethan Nelson-Moore <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 7e8ee82e69fde9d589272ec5e6f702358903be1f ]

Comments from Ethan Nelson-Moore:

From LKML: https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAD++jL=0qYGoygUwGEXQL7C_ROnC7kfpRv8RA+H5tNWwYu+pQA@mail.gmail.com/

The commit message has been updated slightly relative to the version on LKML to clarify that the Risc PC is not actually ARMv3.

Fixes 39c13c204bb1 ("arm: eBPF JIT compiler")
