When KPTI is in use, we cannot register a runstate region as XEN
requires that this is always a valid VA, which we cannot guarantee. Due
to this, xen_starting_cpu() must avoid registering each CPU's runstate
region, and xen_guest_init() must avoid setting up features that depend
upon it.
We tried to ensure that in commit:
f88af7229f (" xen/arm: do not setup the runstate info page if kpti is enabled")
... where we added checks for xen_kernel_unmapped_at_usr(), which wraps
arm64_kernel_unmapped_at_el0() on arm64 and is always false on 32-bit
arm.
Unfortunately, as xen_guest_init() is an early_initcall, this happens
before secondary CPUs are booted and arm64 has finalized the
ARM64_UNMAP_KERNEL_AT_EL0 cpucap which backs
arm64_kernel_unmapped_at_el0(), and so this can subsequently be set as
secondary CPUs are onlined. On a big.LITTLE system where the boot CPU
does not require KPTI but some secondary CPUs do, this will result in
xen_guest_init() intializing features that depend on the runstate
region, and xen_starting_cpu() registering the runstate region on some
CPUs before KPTI is subsequent enabled, resulting the the problems the
aforementioned commit tried to avoid.
Handle this more robsutly by deferring the initialization of the
runstate region until secondary CPUs have been initialized and the
ARM64_UNMAP_KERNEL_AT_EL0 cpucap has been finalized. The per-cpu work is
moved into a new hotplug starting function which is registered later
when we're certain that KPTI will not be used.
