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.

"Tux gets for xmas an improvement to the average lookup performance of
kallsyms_lookup_name() by 715x thanks to the work by Zhen Lei, which
upgraded our old implementation from being O(n) to O(log(n)), while
also retaining the old implementation support on /proc/kallsyms.
The only penalty was increasing the memory footprint by 3 *
kallsyms_num_syms. Folks who want to improve this further now also
have a dedicated selftest facility through KALLSYMS_SELFTEST.
Stephen Boyd added zstd in-kernel decompression support, but the only
users of this would be folks using the load-pin LSM because otherwise
we do module decompression in userspace.
The only other thing with mentioning is a minor boot time optimization
by Rasmus Villemoes which deferes param_sysfs_init() to late init. The

Most /proc files don't have length (in fstat sense). This leads to
inefficiencies when reading such files with APIs commonly found in modern
programming languages. They open file, then fstat descriptor, get st_size
== 0 and either assume file is empty or start reading without knowing
target size.
cat(1) does OK because it uses large enough buffer by default. But naive
programs copy-pasted from SO aren't:
let mut f = std::fs::File::open("/proc/cmdline").unwrap();
let mut buf: Vec<u8> = Vec::new();
f.read_to_end(&mut buf).unwrap();
will result in
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/proc/cmdline", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
statx(0, NULL, AT_STATX_SYNC_AS_STAT, STATX_ALL, NULL) = -1 EFAULT (Bad address)
statx(3, "", AT_STATX_SYNC_AS_STAT|AT_EMPTY_PATH, STATX_ALL, {stx_mask=STATX_BASIC_STATS|STATX_MNT_ID, stx_attributes=0, stx_mode=S_IFREG|0444, stx_size=0, ...}) = 0
lseek(3, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 0
read(3, "BOOT_IMAGE=(hd3,gpt2)/vmlinuz-5.", 32) = 32
read(3, "19.6-100.fc35.x86_64 root=/dev/m", 32) = 32
read(3, "apper/fedora_localhost--live-roo"..., 64) = 64
read(3, "ocalhost--live-swap rd.lvm.lv=fe"..., 128) = 116
read(3, "", 12)
open/stat is OK, lseek looks silly but there are 3 unnecessary reads
because Rust starts with 32 bytes per Vec<u8> and grows from there.
In case of /proc/cmdline, the length is known precisely.
Make variables readonly while I'm at it.
P.S.: I tried to scp /proc/cpuinfo today and got empty file
but this is separate story.

Added test cases for basic functions and performance of functions
kallsyms_lookup_name(), kallsyms_on_each_symbol() and
kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol(). It also calculates the compression rate
of the kallsyms compression algorithm for the current symbol set.
The basic functions test begins by testing a set of symbols whose address
values are known. Then, traverse all symbol addresses and find the
corresponding symbol name based on the address. It's impossible to
determine whether these addresses are correct, but we can use the above
three functions along with the addresses to test each other. Due to the
traversal operation of kallsyms_on_each_symbol() is too slow, only 60
symbols can be tested in one second, so let it test on average once
every 128 symbols. The other two functions validate all symbols.
If the basic functions test is passed, print only performance test
results. If the test fails, print error information, but do not perform
subsequent performance tests.
Start self-test automatically after system startup if
CONFIG_KALLSYMS_SELFTEST=y.

Andrew Cooper suggested upgrading the orphan section warning to a hard link
error. However Nathan Chancellor said outright turning the warning into an
error with no escape hatch might be too aggressive, as we have had these
warnings triggered by new compiler generated sections, and suggested turning
orphan sections into an error only if CONFIG_WERROR is set. Kees Cook echoed
and emphasized that the mandate from Linus is that we should avoid breaking
builds. It wrecks bisection, it causes problems across compiler versions, etc.
Thus upgrade the orphan section warning to a hard link error only if
CONFIG_WERROR is set.
