Currently alternatives are applied very late in the boot process (and
a long time after we enable scheduling). Some alternative sequences,
such as those that alter the way CPU context is stored, must be applied
much earlier in the boot sequence.

Introduce apply_boot_alternatives() to allow some alternatives to be
applied immediately after we detect the CPU features of the boot CPU.

Shouldn't feature_mask be a DECLARE_BITMAP() maybe-array like cpu_hwcaps?
This means it keeps working when NR_CAPS grows over 64, which might happen
sooner than we think for backported errata...

Ah, this is tricky. There is a bitmap_complement() for the DECLARE_BITMAP()
stuff, but we'd need a second array...

We could pass the scope around, but then __apply_alternatives() would need to
lookup the struct arm64_cpu_capabilities up every time. This is only a problem
as we have one cap-number-space for errata/features, but separate sparse lists.

(I think applying the alternatives one cap at a time is a bad idea as we would
need to walk the alternative region NR_CAPS times)

Isn't the problem if there are multiple CPUs online?

Hmm, the bitmap behind cpus_set_cap() is what cpus_have_cap() in
__apply_alternatives() looks at. If you had a call to __apply_alternatives after
update_cpu_capabilities(SCOPE_BOOT_CPU), but before any others, it would only
apply those alternatives...

(I don't think there is a problem re-applying the same alternative, but I
haven't checked).

Since for each alternative we know the cpufeature associated with it, 
the "lookup" is really just accessing an array with the given index, so 
that could be an option.

Interesting idea. If someone can confirm that patching alternatives 
twice is safe, I think it would make things simpler.

Early versions of this patch applied the alternatives twice. I never
noticed any problems with double patching (second time round it will
write out code that is identical to what is already there so it is
merely inefficient rather than unsafe.

When you say early version, do you mean the first ones you did? Because 
the one I picked up (v4 I believe) had a feature mask to select which 
ones to apply early and then which ones to exclude when applying the 
rest of the features.

But I admit I have not looked at the previous versions.

Sounds good, I think we need to avoid adding a limit to the number of caps.

The extra-work is inefficient, but if it saves merging those lists as part of this 
series its probably fine. (we only do this stuff once during boot)

For the regular kind, I agree. But we've recently grown some fancy dynamic patching 
where the code is generated at runtime, instead of swapping in an alternative 
sequence. Details in commit dea5e2a4 ("arm64: alternatives: Add dynamic patching 
feature"). Its unlikely we would ever apply these twice as they can't have a scope, 
... and they all look safe.


Thanks,

James

generated at runtime and may rely on the original text (to extract a
register number, for example -- see kvm_update_va_mask).
