[PATCH v5.10 00/15] arm64: fix a concurrency issue in emulation_proc_handler()

[Jinjie Ruan]

In linux-6.1, the related code is refactored in commit 124c49b1b5d9
("arm64: armv8_deprecated: rework deprected instruction handling") and this
issue was incidentally fixed. This patch set try to adapt the refactoring
patches to stable 5.10 to solve the problem of repeated addition of linked
lists described below.

How to reproduce:
CONFIG_ARMV8_DEPRECATED=y, CONFIG_SWP_EMULATION=y, and CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST=y,
then launch two shell executions:
       #!/bin/bash
       while [ 1 ];
       do
           echo 1 > /proc/sys/abi/swp
       done

or "echo 1 > /proc/sys/abi/swp" and then aunch two shell executions:
       #!/bin/bash
       while [ 1 ];
       do
           echo 0 > /proc/sys/abi/swp
       done

In emulation_proc_handler(), read and write operations are performed on
insn->current_mode. In the concurrency scenario, mutex only protects
writing insn->current_mode, and not protects the read. Suppose there are
two concurrent tasks, task1 updates insn->current_mode to INSN_EMULATE
in the critical section, the prev_mode of task2 is still the old data
INSN_UNDEF of insn->current_mode. As a result, two tasks call
update_insn_emulation_mode twice with prev_mode = INSN_UNDEF and
current_mode = INSN_EMULATE, then call register_emulation_hooks twice,
resulting in a list_add double problem.

commit 124c49b1b5d9 ("arm64: armv8_deprecated: rework deprected instruction
handling") remove the dynamic registration and unregistration so remove the
register_undef_hook() function, so the below problem was incidentally
fixed.

The first 5 patches is a patch set which provides context for subsequent
refactoring 9 patches, especially commit 0f2cb928a154 ("arm64:
consistently pass ESR_ELx to die()") which modify do_undefinstr() to add a
ESR_ELx value arg, and then commit 61d64a376ea8 ("arm64: split EL0/EL1
UNDEF handlers") splits do_undefinstr() handler into separate
do_el0_undef() and do_el1_undef() handlers.

The 9 patches after that is another refactoring patch set, which is in
preparation for the main rework commit 124c49b1b5d9 ("arm64:
armv8_deprecated: rework deprected instruction handling"). To remove struct
undef_hook, commit bff8f413c71f ("arm64: factor out EL1 SSBS emulation
hook") factor out EL1 SSBS emulation hook, which also avoid call
call_undef_hook() in do_el1_undef(), commit f5962add74b6 ("arm64: rework
EL0 MRS emulation") factor out EL0 MRS emulation hook, which also prepare
for replacing call_undef_hook() in do_el0_undef(). To replace
call_undef_hook() function, commit 910fc428b80c ("arm64: split EL0/EL1
UNDEF handlers") split the do_undefinstr() into do_el0_undef() and
do_el1_undef() functions, and commit dbfbd87efa79 ("arm64: factor insn
read out of call_undef_hook()") factor user_insn_read() from
call_undef_hook() so the main rework patch can replace the
call_undef_hook() in do_el0_undef().

The last patch is a bugfix for the main rework patch.

And for LTS 5.4 and 5.15, re-adaptation is required.

I've tested this with userspace programs which use each of the
deprecated instructions on Raspberry Pi 4B KVM/Qemu, and I've concurrently
modified the support level for each of the features back-and-forth between
HW and emulated to check that there are no oops or above repeated addition
or deletion call trace.
