[Xen-devel] [PATCH v4] Livepatch for ARM 64 and 32.

[Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey!

Since v3: [https://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2016-09/msg01127.html]
 - Addressed Jan's comment (most are renaming)
 - Addressed Julien's and Jan's idea of HAS_ALTERNATIVE
 - Addressed Julien's review comments of "arm: poison initmem when it is freed."

v2: [http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/xen/devel/444461?page=last]
 - Addressed the two outstanding concerns: CPU bit feature to test alternative
   test-case, and errata #843419 on some Cortex-A53 
 - Dealt with comments from Jan, Julien and Andrew.
 - Fixed (offlist) with Julien ARM32 not branching properly.
 - Committed some of the patches that had been reviewed/Acked.

v1 (and RFC): 
[https://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2016-08/msg01835.html]
 - Acted on most all comments.
 - Added ARM 32 support.

The patches are based on: [PATCH v6] Livepatch fixes and features for v4.8.
https://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2016-09/msg01719.html

And the git tree is:
 git://xenbits.xen.org/people/konradwilk/xen.git livepatch.v4.8.v6

These patches enable livepatching to work on ARM64 and ARM32. They have
been tested on multi-CPU environments (Foundation Model, 4CPU for ARM64;
and ARM CubieTruck for ARM32).

In terms of review or such, two patches have been reviewed:

 #2 livepatch: Reject payloads with .alternative or
 #6 livepatch: ARM 32|64: Ignore mapping symbols: $[d,a,x]

The rest still needs review.  Thanks!

Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk (16):
      arm/x86/common: Add HAS_[ALTERNATIVE|EX_TABLE]
      livepatch: Reject payloads with .alternative or .ex_table if support is 
not built-in.
      arm: poison initmem when it is freed.
      livepatch: Initial ARM64 support.
      livepatch: ARM/x86: Check displacement of old_addr and new_addr
      livepatch: ARM 32|64: Ignore mapping symbols: $[d,a,x]
      livepatch/arm/x86: Check payload for for unwelcomed symbols.
      livepatch: Move test-cases to their own sub-directory in test.
      livepatch: tests: Make them compile under ARM64
      livepatch: x86, ARM, alternative: Expose FEATURE_LIVEPATCH
      xen/arm32: Add an helper to invalidate all instruction caches
      bug/x86/arm: Align bug_frames sections.
      livepatch: Initial ARM32 support.
      livepatch, arm[32|64]: Share arch_livepatch_revert_jmp
      livepatch: arm[32,64],x86: NOP test-case
      livepatch: In xen_nop test-case remove the .bss and .data sections
