5d1dd961e7 x86/alternatives: Add alt_instr.flags
Add a struct alt_instr.flags field which will contain different flags
controlling alternatives patching behavior.

The initial idea was to be able to specify it as a separate macro
parameter but that would mean touching all possible invocations of the
alternatives macros and thus a lot of churn.

What is more, as PeterZ suggested, being able to say ALT_NOT(feature) is
very readable and explains exactly what is meant.

So make the feature field a u32 where the patching flags are the upper
u16 part of the dword quantity while the lower u16 word is the feature.

The highest feature number currently is 0x26a (i.e., word 19) so there
is plenty of space. If that becomes insufficient, the field can be
extended to u64 which will then make struct alt_instr of the nice size
of 16 bytes (14 bytes currently).

There should be no functional changes resulting from this.

5f6e430f93 Merge tag 'powerpc-6.2-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux
Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - Add powerpc qspinlock implementation optimised for large system
   scalability and paravirt. See the merge message for more details

 - Enable objtool to be built on powerpc to generate mcount locations

 - Use a temporary mm for code patching with the Radix MMU, so the
   writable mapping is restricted to the patching CPU

 - Add an option to build the 64-bit big-endian kernel with the ELFv2
   ABI

 - Sanitise user registers on interrupt entry on 64-bit Book3S

 - Many other small features and fixes

Since the R_X86_64_32S relocation is location invariant (it's
computation doesn't include P - the address of the location itself),
it can be trivially allowed.

7a7621dfa4 objtool,x86: Teach decode about LOOP* instructions
When 'discussing' control flow Masami mentioned the LOOP* instructions
and I realized objtool doesn't decode them properly.

As it turns out, these instructions are somewhat inefficient and as
such unlikely to be emitted by the compiler (a few vmlinux.o checks
can't find a single one) so this isn't critical, but still, best to
decode them properly.

Intel IBT requires the target of any indirect CALL or JMP instruction
to be the ENDBR instruction; optionally it allows those two
instructions to have a NOTRACK prefix in order to avoid this
requirement.

The kernel will not enable the use of NOTRACK, as such any occurence
of it in compiler generated code should be flagged.

227a06553f tools/objtool: Check for use of the ENQCMD instruction in the kernel
The ENQCMD instruction implicitly accesses the PASID_MSR to fill in the
pasid field of the descriptor being submitted to an accelerator. But
there is no precise (and stable across kernel changes) point at which
the PASID_MSR is updated from the value for one task to the next.

Kernel code that uses accelerators must always use the ENQCMDS instruction
which does not access the PASID_MSR.

Check for use of the ENQCMD instruction in the kernel and warn on its
usage.

dc02368164 objtool: Make .altinstructions section entry size consistent
Commit e31694e0a7 ("objtool: Don't make .altinstructions writable")
aligned objtool-created and kernel-created .altinstructions section
flags, but there remains a minor discrepency in their use of a section
entry size: objtool sets one while the kernel build does not.

While sh_entsize of sizeof(struct alt_instr) seems intuitive, this small
deviation can cause failures with external tooling (kpatch-build).

Fix this by creating new .altinstructions sections with sh_entsize of 0
and then later updating sec->sh_size as alternatives are added to the
section.  An added benefit is avoiding the data descriptor and buffer
created by elf_create_section(), but previously unused by
elf_add_alternative().

db2b0c5d7b objtool: Support pv_opsindirect calls for noinstr
Normally objtool will now follow indirect calls; there is no need.

However, this becomes a problem with noinstr validation; if there's an
indirect call from noinstr code, we very much need to know it is to
another noinstr function. Luckily there aren't many indirect calls in
entry code with the obvious exception of paravirt. As such, noinstr
validation didn't work with paravirt kernels.

In order to track pv_ops[] call targets, objtool reads the static
pv_ops[] tables as well as direct assignments to the pv_ops[] array,
provided the compiler makes them a single instruction like:

  bf87:       48 c7 05 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00        movq   $0x0,0x0(%rip)
    bf92 <xen_init_spinlocks+0x5f>
    bf8a: R_X86_64_PC32     pv_ops+0x268

There are, as of yet, no warnings for when this goes wrong :/

Using the functions found with the above means, all pv_ops[] calls are
now subject to noinstr validation.

f56dae88a8 objtool: Handle __sanitize_cov*() tail calls
Turns out the compilers also generate tail calls to __sanitize_cov*(),
make sure to also patch those out in noinstr code.

8b946cc38e objtool: Introduce CFI hash
Andi reported that objtool on vmlinux.o consumes more memory than his
system has, leading to horrific performance.

This is in part because we keep a struct instruction for every
instruction in the file in-memory. Shrink struct instruction by
removing the CFI state (which includes full register state) from it
and demand allocating it.

Given most instructions don't actually change CFI state, there's lots
of repetition there, so add a hash table to find previous CFI
instances.

Reduces memory consumption (and runtime) for processing an
x86_64-allyesconfig:

Pull objtool fix and updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "An ELF format fix for a section flags mismatch bug that breaks kernel
  tooling such as kpatch-build.

  The biggest change in this cycle is the new code to handle and rewrite
  variable sized jump labels - which results in slightly tighter code
  generation in hot paths, through the use of short(er) NOPs.

  Also a number of cleanups and fixes, and a change to the generic
  include/linux/compiler.h to handle a s390 GCC quirk"

e31694e0a7 objtool: Don't make .altinstructions writable
When objtool creates the .altinstructions section, it sets the SHF_WRITE
flag to make the section writable -- unless the section had already been
previously created by the kernel.  The mismatch between kernel-created
and objtool-created section flags can cause failures with external
tooling (kpatch-build).  And the section doesn't need to be writable
anyway.

Make the section flags consistent with the kernel's.
