arm64: alternatives: mark patch_alternative() as `noinstr`
[ Upstream commit a2c0b0fbe01419f8f5d1c0b9c581631f34ffce8b ]
The alternatives code must be `noinstr` such that it does not patch itself,
as the cache invalidation is only performed after all the alternatives have
been applied.
Mark patch_alternative() as `noinstr`. Mark branch_insn_requires_update()
and get_alt_insn() with `__always_inline` since they are both only called
through patch_alternative().
Booting a kernel in QEMU TCG with KCSAN=y and ARM64_USE_LSE_ATOMICS=y caused
a boot hang:
[ 0.241121] CPU: All CPU(s) started at EL2
The alternatives code was patching the atomics in __tsan_read4() from LL/SC
atomics to LSE atomics.
The following fragment is using LL/SC atomics in the .text section:
| <__tsan_unaligned_read4+304>: ldxr x6, [x2]
| <__tsan_unaligned_read4+308>: add x6, x6, x5
| <__tsan_unaligned_read4+312>: stxr w7, x6, [x2]
| <__tsan_unaligned_read4+316>: cbnz w7, <__tsan_unaligned_read4+304>
This LL/SC atomic sequence was to be replaced with LSE atomics. However since
the alternatives code was instrumentable, __tsan_read4() was being called after
only the first instruction was replaced, which led to the following code in memory:
| <__tsan_unaligned_read4+304>: ldadd x5, x6, [x2]
| <__tsan_unaligned_read4+308>: add x6, x6, x5
| <__tsan_unaligned_read4+312>: stxr w7, x6, [x2]
| <__tsan_unaligned_read4+316>: cbnz w7, <__tsan_unaligned_read4+304>
This caused an infinite loop as the `stxr` instruction never completed successfully,
so `w7` was always 0.
