[PATCH 5.15 062/846] arm64: errata: Fix exec handling in erratum 1418040 workaround

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jan 24 2022 - 15:39:28 EST


From: D Scott Phillips <scott@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 38e0257e0e6f4fef2aa2966b089b56a8b1cfb75c upstream.

The erratum 1418040 workaround enables CNTVCT_EL1 access trapping in EL0
when executing compat threads. The workaround is applied when switching
between tasks, but the need for the workaround could also change at an
exec(), when a non-compat task execs a compat binary or vice versa. Apply
the workaround in arch_setup_new_exec().

This leaves a small window of time between SET_PERSONALITY and
arch_setup_new_exec where preemption could occur and confuse the old
workaround logic that compares TIF_32BIT between prev and next. Instead, we
can just read cntkctl to make sure it's in the state that the next task
needs. I measured cntkctl read time to be about the same as a mov from a
general-purpose register on N1. Update the workaround logic to examine the
current value of cntkctl instead of the previous task's compat state.
