arm64/fpsimd: Don't disable softirq when touching FPSIMD/SVE state

When the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_KERNEL_MODE_NEON, some part of
the kernel may be able to use FPSIMD/SVE. This is for instance the case
for crypto code.

Any use of FPSIMD/SVE in the kernel are clearly marked by using the
function kernel_neon_{begin, end}. Furthermore, this can only be used
when may_use_simd() returns true.

The current implementation of may_use_simd() allows softirq to use
FPSIMD/SVE unless it is currently in use (i.e kernel_neon_busy is true).
When in use, softirqs usually fall back to a software method.

At the moment, as a softirq may use FPSIMD/SVE, softirqs are disabled
when touching the FPSIMD/SVE context. This has the drawback to disable
all softirqs even if they are not using FPSIMD/SVE.

Since a softirq is supposed to check may_use_simd() anyway before
attempting to use FPSIMD/SVE, there is limited reason to keep softirq
disabled when touching the FPSIMD/SVE context. Instead, we can simply
disable preemption and mark the FPSIMD/SVE context as in use by setting
CPU's fpsimd_context_busy flag.

Two new helpers {get, put}_cpu_fpsimd_context are introduced to mark
the area using FPSIMD/SVE context and they are used to replace
local_bh_{disable, enable}. The functions kernel_neon_{begin, end} are
also re-implemented to use the new helpers.

Additionally, double-underscored versions of the helpers are provided to
called when preemption is already disabled. These are only relevant on
paths where irqs are disabled anyway, so they are not needed for
correctness in the current code. Let's use them anyway though: this
marks critical sections clearly and will help to avoid mistakes during
future maintenance.

The change has been benchmarked on Linux 5.1-rc4 with defconfig.

On Juno2:
* hackbench 100 process 1000 (10 times)
* .7% quicker

On ThunderX 2:
* hackbench 1000 process 1000 (20 times)
* 3.4% quicker

arm64: neon: Fix function may_use_simd() return error status

It does not matter if the caller of may_use_simd() migrates to
another cpu after the call, but it is still important that the
kernel_neon_busy percpu instance that is read matches the cpu the
task is running on at the time of the read.

This means that raw_cpu_read() is not sufficient. kernel_neon_busy
may appear true if the caller migrates during the execution of
raw_cpu_read() and the next task to be scheduled in on the initial
cpu calls kernel_neon_begin().

This patch replaces raw_cpu_read() with this_cpu_read() to protect
against this race.

arm64: neon: Forbid when irqs are disabled

Currently, may_use_simd() can return true if IRQs are disabled. If
the caller goes ahead and calls kernel_neon_begin(), this can
result in use of local_bh_enable() in an unsafe context.

In particular, __efi_fpsimd_begin() may do this when calling EFI as
part of system shutdown.

This patch ensures that callers don't think they can use
kernel_neon_begin() in such a context.

arm64: neon: Remove support for nested or hardirq kernel-mode NEON

Support for kernel-mode NEON to be nested and/or used in hardirq
context adds significant complexity, and the benefits may be
marginal. In practice, kernel-mode NEON is not used in hardirq
context, and is rarely used in softirq context (by certain mac80211
drivers).

This patch implements an arm64 may_use_simd() function to allow
clients to check whether kernel-mode NEON is usable in the current
context, and simplifies kernel_neon_{begin,end}() to handle only
saving of the task FPSIMD state (if any). Without nesting, there
is no other state to save.

The partial fpsimd save/restore functions become redundant as a
result of these changes, so they are removed too.

The save/restore model is changed to operate directly on
task_struct without additional percpu storage. This simplifies the
code and saves a bit of memory, but means that softirqs must now be
disabled when manipulating the task fpsimd state from task context:
correspondingly, preempt_{en,dis}sable() calls are upgraded to
local_bh_{en,dis}able() as appropriate. fpsimd_thread_switch()
already runs with hardirqs disabled and so is already protected
from softirqs.

These changes should make it easier to support kernel-mode NEON in
the presence of the Scalable Vector extension in the future.

arm64/fpsimd: Don't disable softirq when touching FPSIMD/SVE state

the kernel may be able to use FPSIMD/SVE. This i

arm64/fpsimd: Don't disable softirq when touching FPSIMD/SVE state

When the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_KERNEL_MODE_NEON, some part of
the kernel may be able to use FPSIMD/SVE. This is for instance the case
for crypto code.

Any use of FPSIMD/SVE in the kernel are clearly marked by using the
function kernel_neon_{begin, end}. Furthermore, this can only be used
when may_use_simd() returns true.

The current implementation of may_use_simd() allows softirq to use
FPSIMD/SVE unless it is currently in use (i.e kernel_neon_busy is true).
When in use, softirqs usually fall back to a software method.

At the moment, as a softirq may use FPSIMD/SVE, softirqs are disabled
when touching the FPSIMD/SVE context. This has the drawback to disable
all softirqs even if they are not using FPSIMD/SVE.

Since a softirq is supposed to check may_use_simd() anyway before
attempting to use FPSIMD/SVE, there is limited reason to keep softirq
disabled when touching the FPSIMD/SVE context. Instead, we can simply
disable preemption and mark the FPSIMD/SVE context as in use by setting
CPU's fpsimd_context_busy flag.

Two new helpers {get, put}_cpu_fpsimd_context are introduced to mark
the area using FPSIMD/SVE context and they are used to replace
local_bh_{disable, enable}. The functions kernel_neon_{begin, end} are
also re-implemented to use the new helpers.

Additionally, double-underscored versions of the helpers are provided to
called when preemption is already disabled. These are only relevant on
paths where irqs are disabled anyway, so they are not needed for
correctness in the current code. Let's use them anyway though: this
marks critical sections clearly and will help to avoid mistakes during
future maintenance.

The change has been benchmarked on Linux 5.1-rc4 with defconfig.

On Juno2:
* hackbench 100 process 1000 (10 times)
* .7% quicker

On ThunderX 2:
* hackbench 1000 process 1000 (20 times)
* 3.4% quicker

arm64: neon: Fix function may_use_simd() return error status

It does not matter if the caller of may_use_simd() migrates to
another cpu after the call, but it is still important that the
kernel_neon_busy percpu instance that is read matches the cpu the
task is running on at the time of the read.

This means that raw_cpu_read() is not sufficient. kernel_neon_busy
may appear true if the caller migrates during the execution of
raw_cpu_read() and the next task to be scheduled in on the initial
cpu calls kernel_neon_begin().

This patch replaces raw_cpu_read() with this_cpu_read() to protect
against this race.

arm64: neon: Forbid when irqs are disabled

Currently, may_use_simd() can return true if IRQs are disabled. If
the caller goes ahead and calls kernel_neon_begin(), this can
result in use of local_bh_enable() in an unsafe context.

In particular, __efi_fpsimd_begin() may do this when calling EFI as
part of system shutdown.

This patch ensures that callers don't think they can use
kernel_neon_begin() in such a context.

arm64: neon: Remove support for nested or hardirq kernel-mode NEON

Support for kernel-mode NEON to be nested and/or used in hardirq
context adds significant complexity, and the benefits may be
marginal. In practice, kernel-mode NEON is not used in hardirq
context, and is rarely used in softirq context (by certain mac80211
drivers).

This patch implements an arm64 may_use_simd() function to allow
clients to check whether kernel-mode NEON is usable in the current
context, and simplifies kernel_neon_{begin,end}() to handle only
saving of the task FPSIMD state (if any). Without nesting, there
is no other state to save.

The partial fpsimd save/restore functions become redundant as a
result of these changes, so they are removed too.

The save/restore model is changed to operate directly on
task_struct without additional percpu storage. This simplifies the
code and saves a bit of memory, but means that softirqs must now be
disabled when manipulating the task fpsimd state from task context:
correspondingly, preempt_{en,dis}sable() calls are upgraded to
local_bh_{en,dis}able() as appropriate. fpsimd_thread_switch()
already runs with hardirqs disabled and so is already protected
from softirqs.

These changes should make it easier to support kernel-mode NEON in
the presence of the Scalable Vector extension in the future.
