Pull x86 irq entry updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The irq stack switching was moved out of the ASM entry code in course
of the entry code consolidation. It ended up being suboptimal in
various ways.
This reworks the X86 irq stack handling:
- Make the stack switching inline so the stackpointer manipulation is
not longer at an easy to find place.
- Get rid of the unnecessary indirect call.
- Avoid the double stack switching in interrupt return and reuse the
interrupt stack for softirq handling.
- A objtool fix for CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y builds where it got
confused about the stack pointer manipulation"

Patch series "kasan: HW_TAGS tests support and fixes", v4.
This patchset adds support for running KASAN-KUnit tests with the
hardware tag-based mode and also contains a few fixes.
This patch (of 15):
There's a number of internal KASAN functions that are used across multiple
source code files and therefore aren't marked as static inline. To avoid
littering the kernel function names list with generic function names,
prefix all such KASAN functions with kasan_.
As a part of this change:
- Rename internal (un)poison_range() to kasan_(un)poison() (no _range)
to avoid name collision with a public kasan_unpoison_range().
- Rename check_memory_region() to kasan_check_range(), as it's a more
fitting name.

Pull more clang LTO updates from Kees Cook:
"Clang LTO x86 enablement.
Full disclosure: while this has _not_ been in linux-next (since it
initially looked like the objtool dependencies weren't going to make
v5.12), it has been under daily build and runtime testing by Sami for
quite some time. These x86 portions have been discussed on lkml, with
Peter, Josh, and others helping nail things down.
The bulk of the changes are to get objtool working happily. The rest
of the x86 enablement is very small.

When objtool generates relocations for the __mcount_loc section, it
tries to reference __fentry__ calls by their section symbol offset.
However, this fails with Clang's integrated assembler as it may not
generate section symbols for every section. This patch looks up a
function symbol instead if the section symbol is missing, similarly

When objtool encounters the stack-swizzle:
mov %rsp, (%[tos])
mov %[tos], %rsp
...
pop %rsp
Inside a FRAME_POINTER=y build, things go a little screwy because
clearly we're not adjusting the cfa->base. This then results in the
pop %rsp not being detected as a restore of cfa->base so it will turn
into a regular POP and offset the stack, resulting in:
kernel/softirq.o: warning: objtool: do_softirq()+0xdb: return with modified stack frame
Therefore, have "mov %[tos], %rsp" act like a PUSH (it sorta is
anyway) to balance the things out. We're not too concerned with the
actual stack_size for frame-pointer builds, since we don't generate
ORC data for them anyway.

When exporting static_call_key; with EXPORT_STATIC_CALL*(), the module
can use static_call_update() to change the function called. This is
not desirable in general.
Not exporting static_call_key however also disallows usage of
static_call(), since objtool needs the key to construct the
static_call_site.
Solve this by allowing objtool to create the static_call_site using
the trampoline address when it builds a module and cannot find the
static_call_key symbol. The module loader will then try and map the
trampole back to a key before it constructs the normal sites list.
Doing this requires a trampoline -> key associsation, so add another
magic section that keeps those.

I've always been bothered by the endless (fragile) boilerplate for
rbtree, and I recently wrote some rbtree helpers for objtool and
figured I should lift them into the kernel and use them more widely.
Provide:
partial-order; less() based:
- rb_add(): add a new entry to the rbtree
- rb_add_cached(): like rb_add(), but for a rb_root_cached
total-order; cmp() based:
- rb_find(): find an entry in an rbtree
- rb_find_add(): find an entry, and add if not found
- rb_find_first(): find the first (leftmost) matching entry
- rb_next_match(): continue from rb_find_first()
- rb_for_each(): iterate a sub-tree using the previous two
Inlining and constant propagation should see the compiler inline the
whole thing, including the various compare functions.

Currently REG_SP_INDIRECT is unused but means (%rsp + offset),
change it to mean (%rsp) + offset.
The reason is that we're going to swizzle stack in the middle of a C
function with non-trivial stack footprint. This means that when the
unwinder finds the ToS, it needs to dereference it (%rsp) and then add
the offset to the next frame, resulting in: (%rsp) + offset
This is somewhat unfortunate, since REG_BP_INDIRECT is used (by DRAP)
and thus needs to retain the current (%rbp + offset).

The ORC metadata generated for UNWIND_HINT_FUNC isn't actually very
func-like. With certain usages it can cause stack state mismatches
because it doesn't set the return address (CFI_RA).
Also, users of UNWIND_HINT_RET_OFFSET no longer need to set a custom
return stack offset. Instead they just need to specify a func-like
situation, so the current ret_offset code is hacky for no good reason.
Solve both problems by simplifying the RET_OFFSET handling and
converting it into a more useful UNWIND_HINT_FUNC.
If we end up needing the old 'ret_offset' functionality again in the
future, we should be able to support it pretty easily with the addition
of a custom 'sp_offset' in UNWIND_HINT_FUNC.

There's an inconsistency in how sibling calls are detected in
non-function asm code, depending on the scope of the object. If the
target code is external to the object, objtool considers it a sibling
call. If the target code is internal but not a function, objtool
*doesn't* consider it a sibling call.
This can cause some inconsistencies between per-object and vmlinux.o
validation.
Instead, assume only ELF functions can do sibling calls. This generally
matches existing reality, and makes sibling call validation consistent
between vmlinux.o and per-object.

Objtool converts direct retpoline jumps to type INSN_JUMP_DYNAMIC, since
that's what they are semantically.
That conversion doesn't work in vmlinux.o validation because the
indirect thunk function is present in the object, so the intra-object
jump check succeeds before the retpoline jump check gets a chance.
Rearrange the checks: check for a retpoline jump before checking for an
intra-object jump.

Thanks to a recent binutils change which doesn't generate unused
symbols, it's now possible for thunk_64.o be completely empty without
CONFIG_PREEMPTION: no text, no data, no symbols.
We could edit the Makefile to only build that file when

This is basically a revert of commit 644592d32837 ("objtool: Fail the
kernel build on fatal errors").
That change turned out to be more trouble than it's worth. Failing the
build is an extreme measure which sometimes gets too much attention and
blocks CI build testing.
These fatal-type warnings aren't yet as rare as we'd hope, due to the
ever-increasing matrix of supported toolchains/plugins and their
fast-changing nature as of late.
Also, there are more people (and bots) looking for objtool warnings than
ever before, so even non-fatal warnings aren't likely to be ignored for
long.

The ORC unwinder showed a warning [1] which revealed the stack layout
didn't match what was expected. The problem was that paravirt patching
had replaced "CALL *pv_ops.irq.save_fl" with "PUSHF;POP". That changed
the stack layout between the PUSHF and the POP, so unwinding from an
interrupt which occurred between those two instructions would fail.
Part of the agreed upon solution was to rework the custom paravirt
patching code to use alternatives instead, since objtool already knows
how to read alternatives (and converging runtime patching infrastructure
is always a good thing anyway). But the main problem still remains,
which is that runtime patching can change the stack layout.
Making stack layout changes in alternatives was disallowed with commit
7117f16bf460 ("objtool: Fix ORC vs alternatives"), but now that paravirt
is going to be doing it, it needs to be supported.
One way to do so would be to modify the ORC table when the code gets
patched. But ORC is simple -- a good thing! -- and it's best to leave
it alone.
Instead, support stack layout changes by "flattening" all possible stack
states (CFI) from parallel alternative code streams into a single set of
linear states. The only necessary limitation is that CFI conflicts are
disallowed at all possible instruction boundaries.
For example, this scenario is allowed:
Alt1 Alt2 Alt3
0x00 CALL *pv_ops.save_fl CALL xen_save_fl PUSHF
0x01 POP %RAX
0x02 NOP
...
0x05 NOP
...
0x07 <insn>
The unwind information for offset-0x00 is identical for all 3
alternatives. Similarly offset-0x05 and higher also are identical (and
the same as 0x00). However offset-0x01 has deviating CFI, but that is
only relevant for Alt3, neither of the other alternative instruction
streams will ever hit that offset.
This scenario is NOT allowed:
Alt1 Alt2
0x00 CALL *pv_ops.save_fl PUSHF
0x01 NOP6
...
0x07 NOP POP %RAX
The problem here is that offset-0x7, which is an instruction boundary in
both possible instruction patch streams, has two conflicting stack
layouts.
[ The above examples were stolen from Peter Zijlstra. ]
The new flattened CFI array is used both for the detection of conflicts
(like the second example above) and the generation of linear ORC
entries.
BTW, another benefit of these changes is that, thanks to some related
cleanups (new fake nops and alt_group struct) objtool can finally be rid
of fake jumps, which were a constant source of headaches.

Currently objtool headers are being included either by their base name
or included via ../ from a parent directory. In case of a base name usage:
#include "warn.h"
#include "arch_elf.h"
it does not make it apparent from which directory the file comes from.
To make it slightly better, and actually to avoid name clashes some arch
specific files have "arch_" suffix. And files from an arch folder have
to revert to including via ../ e.g:
#include "../../elf.h"
With additional architectures support and the code base growth there is
a need for clearer headers naming scheme for multiple reasons:
1. to make it instantly obvious where these files come from (objtool
itself / objtool arch|generic folders / some other external files),
2. to avoid name clashes of objtool arch specific headers, potential
obtool arch generic headers and the system header files (there is
/usr/include/elf.h already),
3. to avoid ../ includes and improve code readability.
4. to give a warm fuzzy feeling to developers who are mostly kernel
developers and are accustomed to linux kernel headers arranging
scheme.
Doesn't this make it instantly obvious where are these files come from?
#include <objtool/warn.h>
#include <arch/elf.h>
And doesn't it look nicer to avoid ugly ../ includes? Which also
guarantees this is elf.h from the objtool and not /usr/include/elf.h.
#include <objtool/elf.h>
This patch defines and implements new objtool headers arranging
scheme. Which is:
- all generic headers go to include/objtool (similar to include/linux)
- all arch headers go to arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/arch (to get arch
prefix). This is similar to linux arch specific "asm/*" headers but we
are not abusing "asm" name and calling it what it is. This also helps
to prevent name clashes (arch is not used in system headers or kernel
exports).
To bring objtool to this state the following things are done:
1. current top level tools/objtool/ headers are moved into
include/objtool/ subdirectory,
2. arch specific headers, currently only arch/x86/include/ are moved into
arch/x86/include/arch/ and were stripped of "arch_" suffix,
3. new -I$(srctree)/tools/objtool/include include path to make
includes like <objtool/warn.h> possible,
4. rewriting file includes,
5. make git not to ignore include/objtool/ subdirectory.

A valid stack frame should contain both the return address and the
previous frame pointer value.
On x86, the return value is placed on the stack by the calling
instructions. On other architectures, the callee needs to explicitly
save the return address on the stack.

elements of the stack frame.

Building with the Clang assembler shows the following warning:
arch/x86/kernel/ftrace_64.o: warning: objtool: missing symbol for insn at offset 0x16
The Clang assembler strips section symbols. That ends up giving
objtool's find_func_containing() much more test coverage than normal.
Turns out, find_func_containing() doesn't work so well for overlapping
symbols:
2: 000000000000000e 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT 2 fgraph_trace
3: 000000000000000f 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT 2 trace
4: 0000000000000000 165 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 2 __fentry__
5: 000000000000000e 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT 2 ftrace_stub
The zero-length NOTYPE symbols are inside __fentry__(), confusing the
rbtree search for any __fentry__() offset coming after a NOTYPE.
Try to avoid this problem by not adding zero-length symbols to the
rbtree. They're rare and aren't needed in the rbtree anyway.
One caveat, this actually might not end up being the right fix.
Non-empty overlapping symbols, if they exist, could have the same
problem. But that would need bigger changes, let's see if we can get
away with the easy fix for now.

objtool: Fix seg fault with Clang non-section symbols
|

The Clang assembler likes to strip section symbols, which means objtool
can't reference some text code by its section. This confuses objtool
greatly, causing it to seg fault.
The fix is similar to what was done before, for ORC reloc generation:
e81e07244325 ("objtool: Support Clang non-section symbols in ORC generation")
Factor out that code into a common helper and use it for static call
reloc generation as well.

Pull static call support from Ingo Molnar:
"This introduces static_call(), which is the idea of static_branch()
applied to indirect function calls. Remove a data load (indirection)
by modifying the text.
They give the flexibility of function pointers, but with better
performance. (This is especially important for cases where retpolines
would otherwise be used, as retpolines can be pretty slow.)

DECLARE_STATIC_CALL(name, func);
DEFINE_STATIC_CALL(name, func);
DEFINE_STATIC_CALL_NULL(name, typename);
static_call(name)(args...);
static_call_cond(name)(args...);

x86 is supported via text patching, otherwise basic indirect calls are
used, with function pointers.
There's a second variant using inline code patching, inspired by
jump-labels, implemented on x86 as well.
The new APIs are utilized in the x86 perf code, a heavy user of
function pointers, where static calls speed up the PMU handler by
4.2% (!).

The motivations to go rework memcpy_mcsafe() are that the benefit of
doing slow and careful copies is obviated on newer CPUs, and that the
current opt-in list of CPUs to instrument recovery is broken relative to
those CPUs. There is no need to keep an opt-in list up to date on an
ongoing basis if pmem/dax operations are instrumented for recovery by
default. With recovery enabled by default the old "mcsafe_key" opt-in to
careful copying can be made a "fragile" opt-out. Where the "fragile"
list takes steps to not consume poison across cachelines.
The discussion with Linus made clear that the current "_mcsafe" suffix
was imprecise to a fault. The operations that are needed by pmem/dax are
to copy from a source address that might throw #MC to a destination that
may write-fault, if it is a user page.
So copy_to_user_mcsafe() becomes copy_mc_to_user() to indicate
the separate precautions taken on source and destination.
copy_mc_to_kernel() is introduced as a non-SMAP version that does not
expect write-faults on the destination, but is still prepared to abort
with an error code upon taking #MC.
The original copy_mc_fragile() implementation had negative performance
implications since it did not use the fast-string instruction sequence
to perform copies. For this reason copy_mc_to_kernel() fell back to
plain memcpy() to preserve performance on platforms that did not indicate
the capability to recover from machine check exceptions. However, that
capability detection was not architectural and now that some platforms
can recover from fast-string consumption of memory errors the memcpy()
fallback now causes these more capable platforms to fail.
Introduce copy_mc_enhanced_fast_string() as the fast default
implementation of copy_mc_to_kernel() and finalize the transition of
copy_mc_fragile() to be a platform quirk to indicate 'copy-carefully'.
With this in place, copy_mc_to_kernel() is fast and recovery-ready by
default regardless of hardware capability.
Thanks to Vivek for identifying that copy_user_generic() is not suitable
as the copy_mc_to_user() backend since the #MC handler explicitly checks
ex_has_fault_handler(). Thanks to the 0day robot for catching a
performance bug in the x86/copy_mc_to_user implementation.

In reaction to a proposal to introduce a memcpy_mcsafe_fast()
implementation Linus points out that memcpy_mcsafe() is poorly named
relative to communicating the scope of the interface. Specifically what
addresses are valid to pass as source, destination, and what faults /
exceptions are handled.
Of particular concern is that even though x86 might be able to handle
the semantics of copy_mc_to_user() with its common copy_user_generic()
implementation other archs likely need / want an explicit path for this
case:

Replace a single top-level memcpy_mcsafe() with either
copy_mc_to_user(), or copy_mc_to_kernel().
Introduce an x86 copy_mc_fragile() name as the rename for the
low-level x86 implementation formerly named memcpy_mcsafe(). It is used
as the slow / careful backend that is supplanted by a fast
copy_mc_generic() in a follow-on patch.
One side-effect of this reorganization is that separating copy_mc_64.S
to its own file means that perf no longer needs to track dependencies
for its memcpy_64.S benchmarks.

Building linux-next with JUMP_LABEL=n and KASAN=y, I got this objtool
warning:
arch/x86/lib/copy_mc.o: warning: objtool: copy_mc_to_user()+0x22: call to
__kasan_check_read() with UACCESS enabled
What happens here is that copy_mc_to_user() branches on a static key in a
UACCESS region:
__uaccess_begin();
if (static_branch_unlikely(©_mc_fragile_key))
ret = copy_mc_fragile(to, from, len);
ret = copy_mc_generic(to, from, len);
__uaccess_end();
and the !CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL version of static_branch_unlikely() uses
static_key_enabled(), which uses static_key_count(), which uses
atomic_read(), which calls instrument_atomic_read(), which uses
kasan_check_read(), which is __kasan_check_read().
Let's permit these KASAN helpers in UACCESS regions - static keys should
probably work under UACCESS, I think.
PeterZ adds:
It's not a matter of permitting, it's a matter of being safe and
correct. In this case it is, because it's a thin wrapper around
check_memory_region() which was already marked safe.
check_memory_region() is correct because the only thing it ends up
calling is kasa_report() and that is also marked safe because that is
annotated with user_access_save/restore() before it does anything else.
On top of that, all of KASAN is noinstr, so nothing in here will end up
in tracing and/or call schedule() before the user_access_save().

With CONFIG_UBSAN_TRAP enabled, the compiler may insert a trap
instruction after a call to a noreturn function. In this case, objtool
warns that the UD2 instruction is unreachable.
This is a behavior seen with Clang, from the oldest version capable of
building the mainline x64_64 kernel (9.0), to the latest experimental
version (12.0).
Objtool silences similar warnings (trap after dead end instructions), so
so expand that check to include dead end functions.

When a function is annotated with STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD, objtool
doesn't validate its code paths. It also skips sibling call detection
within the function.
But sibling call detection is actually needed for the case where the
ignored function doesn't have any return instructions. Otherwise
objtool naively marks the function as implicit static noreturn, which
affects the reachability of its callers, resulting in "unreachable
instruction" warnings.
Fix it by just enabling sibling call detection for ignored functions.
The 'insn->ignore' check in add_jump_destinations() is no longer needed
after

It is possible for alternative code to unconditionally jump out of the
alternative region. In such a case, if a fake jump is added at the end
of the alternative instructions, the fake jump will never be reached.
Since the fake jump is just a mean to make sure code validation does not
go beyond the set of alternatives, reaching it is not a requirement.
