Pull kernel hardening fixes from Kees Cook:
- Fix CFI hash randomization with KASAN (Sami Tolvanen)
- Check size of coreboot table entry and use flex-array
* tag 'hardening-v6.2-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux:
kbuild: Fix CFI hash randomization with KASAN
firmware: coreboot: Check size of table entry and use flex-array
Clang emits a asan.module_ctor constructor to each object file
when KASAN is enabled, and these functions are indirectly called
in do_ctors. With CONFIG_CFI_CLANG, the compiler also emits a CFI
type hash before each address-taken global function so they can
pass indirect call checks.
However, in commit 0c3e806ec0 ("x86/cfi: Add boot time hash
randomization"), x86 implemented boot time hash randomization,
which relies on the .cfi_sites section generated by objtool. As
objtool is run against vmlinux.o instead of individual object
files with X86_KERNEL_IBT (enabled by default), CFI types in
object files that are not part of vmlinux.o end up not being
included in .cfi_sites, and thus won't get randomized and trip
CFI when called.
Only .vmlinux.export.o and init/version-timestamp.o are linked
into vmlinux separately from vmlinux.o. As these files don't
contain any functions, disable KASAN for both of them to avoid
breaking hash randomization.

Commit 63ffe00d8c ("kbuild: Fix running modpost with musl libc")
accidentally turned the unresolved symbol warnings into errors when
vmlinux.o (for in-tree builds) or Module.symver (for external module
builds) is missing.
In those cases, unresolved symbols are expected, but the -w option
is not set because 'missing-input' is referenced before set.
Move $(missing-input) back to the original place. This should be fine
for musl libc because vmlinux.o and -w are not added at the same time.
With this change, -w may be passed twice, but it is not a big deal.

Guoqing Jiang reports that openSUSE cannot compile the kernel rpm due
to "BuildRequires: elfutils-libelf-devel" added by commit 8818039f95
("kbuild: add ability to make source rpm buildable using koji").
The relevant package name in openSUSE is libelf-devel.
Add it as an alternative package.
BTW, if it is impossible to solve the build requirement, the final
resort would be:
$ make RPMOPTS=--nodeps rpm-pkg
This passes --nodeps to the rpmbuild command so it will not verify
build dependencies. This is useful to test rpm builds on non-rpm
system. On Debian/Ubuntu, for example, you can install rpmbuild by
'apt-get install rpm'.
NOTE1:
Likewise, it is possible to bypass the build dependency check for
debian package builds:
$ make DPKG_FLAGS=-d deb-pkg
NOTE2:
The 'or' operator is supported since RPM 4.13. So, old distros such
as CentOS 7 will break. I suggest installing newer rpmbuild in such
cases.

commit 3d57e1b7b1 ("kbuild: refactor the prerequisites of the modpost
rule") moved 'vmlinux.o' inside modpost-args, possibly before some of
the other options. However, getopt() in musl libc follows POSIX and
stops looking for options upon reaching the first non-option argument.
As a result, the '-T' option is misinterpreted as a positional argument,
and the build fails:
make -f ./scripts/Makefile.modpost
scripts/mod/modpost -E -o Module.symvers vmlinux.o -T modules.order
-T: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.modpost:137: Module.symvers] Error 1
make: *** [Makefile:1960: modpost] Error 2
The fix is to move all options before 'vmlinux.o' in modpost-args.

Pull x86 core updates from Borislav Petkov:
- Add the call depth tracking mitigation for Retbleed which has been
long in the making. It is a lighterweight software-only fix for
Skylake-based cores where enabling IBRS is a big hammer and causes a
significant performance impact.
What it basically does is, it aligns all kernel functions to 16 bytes
boundary and adds a 16-byte padding before the function, objtool
collects all functions' locations and when the mitigation gets
applied, it patches a call accounting thunk which is used to track
the call depth of the stack at any time.
When that call depth reaches a magical, microarchitecture-specific
value for the Return Stack Buffer, the code stuffs that RSB and
avoids its underflow which could otherwise lead to the Intel variant
of Retbleed.
This software-only solution brings a lot of the lost performance
back, as benchmarks suggest:

Pull iommufd implementation from Jason Gunthorpe:
"iommufd is the user API to control the IOMMU subsystem as it relates
to managing IO page tables that point at user space memory.
It takes over from drivers/vfio/vfio_iommu_type1.c (aka the VFIO
container) which is the VFIO specific interface for a similar idea.
We see a broad need for extended features, some being highly IOMMU
device specific:
- Binding iommu_domain's to PASID/SSID
- Userspace IO page tables, for ARM, x86 and S390
- Kernel bypassed invalidation of user page tables
- Re-use of the KVM page table in the IOMMU
- Dirty page tracking in the IOMMU
- Runtime Increase/Decrease of IOPTE size
- PRI support with faults resolved in userspace
Many of these HW features exist to support VM use cases - for instance
the combination of PASID, PRI and Userspace IO Page Tables allows an
implementation of DMA Shared Virtual Addressing (vSVA) within a guest.
Dirty tracking enables VM live migration with SRIOV devices and PASID
support allow creating "scalable IOV" devices, among other things.
As these features are fundamental to a VM platform they need to be
uniformly exposed to all the driver families that do DMA into VMs,
which is currently VFIO and VDPA"

Commit 6c730bfc89 ("modpost: handle -ffunction-sections") added
".text.*" to the OTHER_TEXT_SECTIONS macro to fix certain section
mismatch warnings. Unfortunately, this makes it impossible for modpost
to warn about section mismatches with LTO, which implies
'-ffunction-sections', as all functions are put in their own
'.text.<func_name>' sections, which may still reference functions in
sections they are not supposed to, such as __init.
Fix this by moving ".text.*" into TEXT_SECTIONS, so that configurations
with '-ffunction-sections' will see warnings about mismatched sections.
