arm64: add support to dump the kernel page tables In a similar manner to arm, it's useful to be able to dump the page tables to verify permissions and memory types. Add a debugfs file to check the page tables.

arm64: Add missing Kconfig for CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM The Kconfig for CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is missing despite being used in mmap.c. Add it. Signed-off-by: Laura Abbott <lauraa@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

arm64: mm: update CONTEXTIDR register to contain PID of current process This patch is a port of 575320d62 ("ARM: 7445/1: mm: update CONTEXTIDR register to contain PID of current process") from ARM that introduces a new Kconfig option which, when enabled, causes the kernel to write the PID of the current task into the CONTEXTIDR register on context switch. This is useful when analysing hardware trace, since writes to this register can be configured to emit an event into the trace stream.

arm64: Enable TEXT_OFFSET fuzzing The arm64 Image header contains a text_offset field which bootloaders are supposed to read to determine the offset (from a 2MB aligned "start of memory" per booting.txt) at which to load the kernel. The offset is not well respected by bootloaders at present, and due to the lack of variation there is little incentive to support it. This is unfortunate for the sake of future kernels where we may wish to vary the text offset (even zeroing it). This patch adds options to arm64 to enable fuzz-testing of text_offset. CONFIG_ARM64_RANDOMIZE_TEXT_OFFSET forces the text offset to a random 16-byte aligned value value in the range [0..2MB) upon a build of the kernel. It is recommended that distribution kernels enable randomization to test bootloaders such that any compliance issues can be fixed early.

arm64: Add CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX support In a similar fashion to other architecture, add the infrastructure and Kconfig to enable DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX support. When enabled, module ranges will be marked read-only/no-execute as appropriate.

arm64: add better page protections to arm64 Add page protections for arm64 similar to those in arm. This is for security reasons to prevent certain classes of exploits. The current method: - Map all memory as either RWX or RW. We round to the nearest section to avoid creating page tables before everything is mapped - Once everything is mapped, if either end of the RWX section should not be X, we split the PMD and remap as necessary - When initmem is to be freed, we change the permissions back to RW (using stop machine if necessary to flush the TLB) - If CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is set, the read only sections are set read only.

coresight: moving to new "hwtracing" directory Keeping drivers related to HW tracing on ARM, i.e coresight, under "drivers/coresight" doesn't make sense when other architectures start rolling out technologies of the same nature. As such creating a new "drivers/hwtracing" directory where all drivers of the same kind can reside, reducing namespace pollution under "drivers/".

coresight: Adding coresight support for arm64 architecture Most CoreSight blocks are 64-bit ready. As such move configuration entries from "arch/arm/Kconfig.config" to the driver's subdirectory and source the newly created Kconfig from architecture specific Kconfig.debug files.
