2f0df49c89 jump_label: Do not profile branch annotations
While running my branch profiler that checks for incorrect "likely" and
"unlikely"s around the kernel, there's a large number of them that are
incorrect due to being "static_branches".

As static_branches are rather special, as they are likely or unlikely for
other reasons than normal annotations are used for, there's no reason to
have them be profiled.

Expose the "unlikely_notrace" and "likely_notrace" so that the
static_branch can use them, and have them be ignored by the branch
profilers.

3347acc6fc compiler.h: fix barrier_data() on clang
Commit 815f0ddb34 ("include/linux/compiler*.h: make compiler-*.h
mutually exclusive") neglected to copy barrier_data() from
compiler-gcc.h into compiler-clang.h.

The definition in compiler-gcc.h was really to work around clang's more
aggressive optimization, so this broke barrier_data() on clang, and
consequently memzero_explicit() as well.

For example, this results in at least the memzero_explicit() call in
lib/crypto/sha256.c:sha256_transform() being optimized away by clang.

Fix this by moving the definition of barrier_data() into compiler.h.

Also move the gcc/clang definition of barrier() into compiler.h,
__memory_barrier() is icc-specific (and barrier() is already defined
using it in compiler-intel.h) and doesn't belong in compiler.h.

33def8498f treewide: Convert macro and uses of __section(foo) to __section("foo")
Use a more generic form for __section that requires quotes to avoid
complications with clang and gcc differences.

Remove the quote operator # from compiler_attributes.h __section macro.

Convert all unquoted __section(foo) uses to quoted __section("foo").
Also convert __attribute__((section("foo"))) uses to __section("foo")
even if the __attribute__ has multiple list entry forms.

a25c13b3aa compiler.h: avoid escaped section names
The stringification operator, `#`, in the preprocessor escapes strings.
For example, `# "foo"` becomes `"\"foo\""`.  GCC and Clang differ in how
they treat section names that contain \".

The portable solution is to not use a string literal with the preprocessor
stringification operator.

In this case, since __section unconditionally uses the stringification
operator, we actually want the more verbose
__attribute__((__section__())).

563a02b0c9 compiler.h: Make __ADDRESSABLE() symbol truly unique
The __ADDRESSABLE() macro uses the __LINE__ macro to create a temporary
symbol which has a unique name.  However, if the macro is used multiple
times from within another macro, the line number will always be the
same, resulting in duplicate symbols.

Make the temporary symbols truly unique by using __UNIQUE_ID instead of

Move these primitives into a new header: <linux/instrumentation.h>, and include that
header in the headers that make use of it.

Unfortunately one of these headers is asm-generic/bug.h, which does get included
in a lot of places, similarly to compiler.h. So the de-bloating effect isn't as
good as we'd like it to be - but at least the interfaces are defined separately.

No change to functionality intended.

44b97dccb2 compiler.h: Remove data_race() and unnecessary checks from {READ,WRITE}_ONCE()
The volatile accesses no longer need to be wrapped in data_race()
because compilers that emit instrumentation distinguishing volatile
accesses are required for KCSAN.

Consequently, the explicit kcsan_check_atomic*() are no longer required
either since the compiler emits instrumentation distinguishing the
volatile accesses.

Finally, simplify __READ_ONCE_SCALAR() and remove __WRITE_ONCE_SCALAR().

e3b779d9eb kcsan: Remove 'noinline' from __no_kcsan_or_inline
Some compilers incorrectly inline small __no_kcsan functions, which then
results in instrumenting the accesses. For this reason, the 'noinline'
attribute was added to __no_kcsan_or_inline. All known versions of GCC
are affected by this. Supported versions of Clang are unaffected, and
never inline a no_sanitize function.

However, the attribute 'noinline' in __no_kcsan_or_inline causes
unexpected code generation in functions that are __no_kcsan and call a
__no_kcsan_or_inline function.

In certain situations it is expected that the __no_kcsan_or_inline
function is actually inlined by the __no_kcsan function, and *no* calls
are emitted. By removing the 'noinline' attribute, give the compiler
the ability to inline and generate the expected code in __no_kcsan
functions.

READ_ONCE() permits 64-bit accesses on 32-bit architectures, since this
crops up in a few places and is generally harmless because either the
upper bits are always zero (e.g. for a virtual address or 32-bit time_t)
or the architecture provides 64-bit atomicity anyway.

Update the corresponding comment above compiletime_assert_rwonce_type(),
which incorrectly states that 32-bit x86 provides 64-bit atomicity, and
instead reference 32-bit Armv7 with LPAE.

6553896666 vmlinux.lds.h: Create section for protection against instrumentation
Some code pathes, especially the low level entry code, must be protected
against instrumentation for various reasons:

 - Low level entry code can be a fragile beast, especially on x86.

 - With NO_HZ_FULL RCU state needs to be established before using it.

Having a dedicated section for such code allows to validate with tooling
that no unsafe functions are invoked.

Add the .noinstr.text section and the noinstr attribute to mark
functions. noinstr implies notrace. Kprobes will gain a section check
later.

Provide also a set of markers: instrumentation_begin()/end()

These are used to mark code inside a noinstr function which calls
into regular instrumentable text section as safe.

The instrumentation markers are only active when CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY is
enabled as the end marker emits a NOP to prevent the compiler from merging
the annotation points. This means the objtool verification requires a
kernel compiled with this option.

a9a3ed1eff x86: Fix early boot crash on gcc-10, third try
... or the odyssey of trying to disable the stack protector for the
function which generates the stack canary value.

The whole story started with Sergei reporting a boot crash with a kernel
built with gcc-10:

  Kernel panic — not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: start_secondary
  CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 5.6.0-rc5—00235—gfffb08b37df9 #139
  Hardware name: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. To be filled by O.E.M./H77M—D3H, BIOS F12 11/14/2013
  Call Trace:
    dump_stack
    panic
    ? start_secondary
    __stack_chk_fail
    start_secondary
    secondary_startup_64
  -—-[ end Kernel panic — not syncing: stack—protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: start_secondary

This happens because gcc-10 tail-call optimizes the last function call
in start_secondary() - cpu_startup_entry() - and thus emits a stack
canary check which fails because the canary value changes after the
boot_init_stack_canary() call.

To fix that, the initial attempt was to mark the one function which
generates the stack canary with:

  __attribute__((optimize("-fno-stack-protector"))) ... start_secondary(void *unused)

however, using the optimize attribute doesn't work cumulatively
as the attribute does not add to but rather replaces previously
supplied optimization options - roughly all -fxxx options.

The key one among them being -fno-omit-frame-pointer and thus leading to
not present frame pointer - frame pointer which the kernel needs.

The next attempt to prevent compilers from tail-call optimizing
the last function call cpu_startup_entry(), shy of carving out
start_secondary() into a separate compilation unit and building it with
-fno-stack-protector, was to add an empty asm("").

This current solution was short and sweet, and reportedly, is supported
by both compilers but we didn't get very far this time: future (LTO?)
optimization passes could potentially eliminate this, which leads us
to the third attempt: having an actual memory barrier there which the
compiler cannot ignore or move around etc.

That should hold for a long time, but hey we said that about the other
two solutions too so...

macro scope ends up forcing a read back from the stack. When stack
protector is enabled (the default for arm64, at least), this causes
the compiler to vomit up all sorts of junk.

Unfortunately, dropping pointer qualifiers inside the macro poses quite
a challenge, especially since the pointed-to type is permitted to be an
aggregate, and this is relied upon by mm/ code accessing things like
'pmd_t'. Based on numerous hacks and discussions on the mailing list,
this is the best I've managed to come up with.

Introduce '__unqual_scalar_typeof()' which takes an expression and, if
the expression is an optionally qualified 8, 16, 32 or 64-bit scalar
type, evaluates to the unqualified type. Other input types, including
aggregates, remain unchanged. Hopefully READ_ONCE() on volatile aggregate
pointers isn't something we do on a fast-path.

9e343b467c READ_ONCE: Enforce atomicity for {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() memory accesses
{READ,WRITE}_ONCE() cannot guarantee atomicity for arbitrary data sizes.
This can be surprising to callers that might incorrectly be expecting
atomicity for accesses to aggregate structures, although there are other
callers where tearing is actually permissable (e.g. if they are using
something akin to sequence locking to protect the access).

Linus sayeth:

  | We could also look at being stricter for the normal READ/WRITE_ONCE(),
  | and require that they are
  |
  | (a) regular integer types
  |
  | (b) fit in an atomic word
  |
  | We actually did (b) for a while, until we noticed that we do it on
  | loff_t's etc and relaxed the rules. But maybe we could have a
  | "non-atomic" version of READ/WRITE_ONCE() that is used for the
  | questionable cases?

The slight snag is that we also have to support 64-bit accesses on 32-bit
architectures, as these appear to be widespread and tend to work out ok
if either the architecture supports atomic 64-bit accesses (x86, armv7)
or if the variable being accesses represents a virtual address and
therefore only requires 32-bit atomicity in practice.

Take a step in that direction by introducing a variant of
'compiletime_assert_atomic_type()' and use it to check the pointer
argument to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(). Expose __{READ,WRITE}_ONCE() variants
which are allowed to tear and convert the one broken caller over to the
new macros.

a5460b5e5f READ_ONCE: Simplify implementations of {READ,WRITE}_ONCE()
The implementations of {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() suffer from a significant
amount of indirection and complexity due to a historic GCC bug:

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58145

which was originally worked around by 230fa253df ("kernel: Provide
READ_ONCE and ASSIGN_ONCE").

Since GCC 4.8 is fairly vintage at this point and we emit a warning if
we detect it during the build, return {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() to their former
glory with an implementation that is easier to understand and, crucially,
more amenable to optimisation. A side effect of this simplification is
that WRITE_ONCE() no longer returns a value, but nobody seems to be
relying on that and the new behaviour is aligned with smp_store_release().
