I have a series of patches: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201130115950.22492-1-mark.rutland@xxxxxxx ... which are queued in the arm64 for-next/fixes branch. I intend to have some further rework ready for the next cycle. I'd appreciate if you could Cc me on any patches altering the arm64 entry code, as I have a vested interest. That was quite obviously broken if PROVE_LOCKING and NO_HZ_FULL were chosen and context tracking was in use (e.g. with CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE), so I'm assuming that this series has not been tested in that configuration. What sort of testing has this seen? It would be very helpful for the next posting if you could provide any instructions on how to test this series (e.g. with pointers to any test suite that you have), since it's very easy to introduce subtle breakage in this area without realising it. > > Functions called from there: > asm_nmi_enter() -> nmi_enter() -> task_isolation_kernel_enter() > asm_nmi_exit() -> nmi_exit() -> task_isolation_kernel_return() > > Handlers: > do_serror() -> nmi_enter() -> task_isolation_kernel_enter() > or task_isolation_kernel_enter() > el1_sync_handler() -> task_isolation_kernel_enter() > el0_sync_handler() -> task_isolation_kernel_enter() > el0_sync_compat_handler() -> task_isolation_kernel_enter() > > handle_arch_irq() is irqchip-specific, most call handle_domain_irq() > There is a separate patch for irqchips that do not follow this rule. > > handle_domain_irq() -> task_isolation_kernel_enter() > do_handle_IPI() -> task_isolation_kernel_enter() (may be redundant) > nmi_enter() -> task_isolation_kernel_enter() The IRQ cases look very odd to me. With the rework I've just done for arm64, we'll do the regular context tracking accounting before we ever get into handle_domain_irq() or similar, so I suspect that's not necessary at all? > > Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > [abelits@xxxxxxxxxxx: simplified to match kernel 5.10] > Signed-off-by: Alex Belits <abelits@xxxxxxxxxxx> > --- > arch/arm64/Kconfig | 1 + > arch/arm64/include/asm/barrier.h | 1 + > arch/arm64/include/asm/thread_info.h | 7 +++++-- > arch/arm64/kernel/entry-common.c | 7 +++++++ > arch/arm64/kernel/ptrace.c | 10 ++++++++++ > arch/arm64/kernel/signal.c | 13 ++++++++++++- > arch/arm64/kernel/smp.c | 3 +++ > 7 files changed, 39 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/arch/arm64/Kconfig b/arch/arm64/Kconfig > index 1515f6f153a0..fc958d8d8945 100644 > --- a/arch/arm64/Kconfig > +++ b/arch/arm64/Kconfig > @@ -141,6 +141,7 @@ config ARM64 > select HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS > select HAVE_ARCH_SECCOMP_FILTER > select HAVE_ARCH_STACKLEAK > + select HAVE_ARCH_TASK_ISOLATION > select HAVE_ARCH_THREAD_STRUCT_WHITELIST > select HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK > select HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE > diff --git a/arch/arm64/include/asm/barrier.h b/arch/arm64/include/asm/barrier.h > index c3009b0e5239..ad5a6dd380cf 100644 > --- a/arch/arm64/include/asm/barrier.h > +++ b/arch/arm64/include/asm/barrier.h > @@ -49,6 +49,7 @@ > #define dma_rmb() dmb(oshld) > #define dma_wmb() dmb(oshst) > > +#define instr_sync() isb() I think I've asked on prior versions of the patchset, but what is this for? Where is it going to be used, and what is the expected semantics? I'm wary of exposing this outside of arch code because there aren't strong cross-architectural semantics, and at the least this requires some documentation. If it's unused, please delete it.

This is a kernel->kernel transition, so surely this is not necessary? If nothing else, it doesn't feel well-balanced. I havwe not looked at the rest of this patch (or series) in detail. Thanks, Mark.
