arm64/entry: Fix arm64-specific rseq brokenness
commit 411c1cf430392c905e39f12bc305dd994da0b426 upstream. Mathias Stearn reports that since v6.19, there are two big issues affecting rseq: (1) On arm64 specifically, rseq critical sections aren't aborted when they should be. (2) The 'cpu_id_start' field is no longer written by the kernel in all cases it used to be, including some cases where TCMalloc depends on the kernel clobbering the field. This patch fixes issue #1. This patch DOES NOT fix issue #2, which will need to be addressed by other patches. The arm64-specific brokenness is a result of commits: 2fc0e4b4126c ("rseq: Record interrupt from user space") 39a167560a61 ("rseq: Optimize event setting") The first commit failed to add a call to rseq_note_user_irq_entry() on arm64. Thus arm64 never sets rseq_event::user_irq to record that it may be necessary to abort an active rseq critical section upon return to userspace. On its own, this commit had no functional impact as the value of rseq_event::user_irq was not consumed. The second commit relied upon rseq_event::user_irq to determine whether or not to bother to perform rseq work when returning to userspace. As rseq_event::user_irq wasn't set on arm64, this work would be skipped, and consequently an active rseq critical section would not be aborted. Fix this by giving arm64 syscall-specific entry/exit paths, and performing the relevant logic in syscall and non-syscall paths, including calling rseq_note_user_irq_entry() for non-syscall entry. Currently arm64 cannot use syscall_enter_from_user_mode(), syscall_exit_to_user_mode(), and irqentry_exit_to_user_mode(), due to ordering constraints with exception masking, and risk of ABI breakage for syscall tracing/audit/etc. For the moment the entry/exit logic is left as arm64-specific, directly using enter_from_user_mode() and exit_to_user_mode(), but mirroring the generic code. I intend to follow up with refactoring/cleanup, as we did for kernel mode entry paths in commit: 041aa7a85390 ("entry: Split preemption from irqentry_exit_to_kernel_mode()") ... which will allow arm64 to use the GENERIC_IRQ_ENTRY functions directly.
