Currently we strip the PAC from pointers using C code, which requires
generating bitmasks, and conditionally clearing/setting bits depending
on bit 55. We can do better by using XPACLRI directly.
When the logic was originally written to strip PACs from user pointers,
contemporary toolchains used for the kernel had assemblers which were
unaware of the PAC instructions. As stripping the PAC from userspace
pointers required unconditional clearing of a fixed set of bits (which
could be performed with a single instruction), it was simpler to
implement the masking in C than it was to make use of XPACI or XPACLRI.
When support for in-kernel pointer authentication was added, the
stripping logic was extended to cover TTBR1 pointers, requiring several
instructions to handle whether to clear/set bits dependent on bit 55 of
the pointer.
This patch simplifies the stripping of PACs by using XPACLRI directly,
as contemporary toolchains do within __builtin_return_address(). This
saves a number of instructions, especially where
__builtin_return_address() does not implicitly strip the PAC but is
heavily used (e.g. with tracepoints). As the kernel might be compiled
with an assembler without knowledge of XPACLRI, it is assembled using
the 'HINT #7' alias, which results in an identical opcode.
At the same time, I've split ptrauth_strip_insn_pac() into
ptrauth_strip_user_insn_pac() and ptrauth_strip_kernel_insn_pac()
helpers so that we can avoid unnecessary PAC stripping when pointer
authentication is not in use in userspace or kernel respectively.
The underlying xpaclri() macro uses inline assembly which clobbers x30.
The clobber causes the compiler to save/restore the original x30 value
in a frame record (protected with PACIASP and AUTIASP when in-kernel
authentication is enabled), so this does not provide a gadget to alter
the return address. Similarly this does not adversely affect unwinding
due to the presence of the frame record.
The ptrauth_user_pac_mask() and ptrauth_kernel_pac_mask() are exported
from the kernel in ptrace and core dumps, so these are retained. A
subsequent patch will move them out of <asm/compiler.h>.

The arm64 stacktrace code can be used in kprobe context, and so cannot
be safely probed. Some (but not all) of the unwind functions are
annotated with `NOKPROBE_SYMBOL()` to ensure this, with others markes as
`__always_inline`, relying on the top-level unwind function being marked
as `noinstr`.
This patch has stacktrace.c consistently mark the internal stacktrace
functions as `__always_inline`, removing the need for NOKPROBE_SYMBOL()
as the top-level unwind function (arch_stack_walk()) is marked as
`noinstr`. This is more consistent and is a simpler pattern to follow
for future additions to stacktrace.c.
There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

Currently unwind_next_frame_record() has an optional callback to convert
the address space of the FP. This is necessary for the NVHE unwinder,
which tracks the stacks in the hyp VA space, but accesses the frame
records in the kernel VA space.
This is a bit unfortunate since it clutters unwind_next_frame_record(),
which will get in the way of future rework.
Instead, this patch changes the NVHE unwinder to track the stacks in the
kernel's VA space and translate to FP prior to calling
unwind_next_frame_record(). This removes the need for the translate_fp()
callback, as all unwinders consistently track stacks in the native
address space of the unwinder.
At the same time, this patch consolidates the generation of the stack
addresses behind the stackinfo_get_*() helpers.

Currently we call an on_accessible_stack() callback for each step of the
unwinder, requiring redundant work to be performed in the core of the
unwind loop (e.g. disabling preemption around accesses to per-cpu
variables containing stack boundaries). To prevent unwind loops which go
through a stack multiple times, we have to track the set of unwound
stacks, requiring a stack_type enum which needs to cater for all the
stacks of all possible callees. To prevent loops within a stack, we must
track the prior FP values.
This patch reworks the unwinder to minimize the work in the core of the
unwinder, and to remove the need for the stack_type enum. The set of
accessible stacks (and their boundaries) are determined at the start of
the unwind, and the current stack is tracked during the unwind, with
completed stacks removed from the set of accessible stacks. This makes
the boundary checks more accurate (e.g. detecting overlapped frame
records), and removes the need for separate tracking of the prior FP and
visited stacks.

In subsequent patches we'll want to acquire the stack boundaries
ahead-of-time, and we'll need to be able to acquire the relevant
stack_info regardless of whether we have an object the happens to be on
the stack.
This patch replaces the on_XXX_stack() helpers with stackinfo_get_XXX()
helpers, with the caller being responsible for the checking whether an
object is on a relevant stack. For the moment this is moved into the
on_accessible_stack() functions, making these slightly larger;
subsequent patches will remove the on_accessible_stack() functions and
simplify the logic.
The on_irq_stack() and on_task_stack() helpers are kept as these are
used by IRQ entry sequences and stackleak respectively. As they're only
used as predicates, the stack_info pointer parameter is removed in both
cases.
As the on_accessible_stack() functions are always passed a non-NULL info
pointer, these now update info unconditionally. When updating the type
to STACK_TYPE_UNKNOWN, the low/high bounds are also modified, but as
these will not be consumed this should have no adverse affect.
There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

The unwind_next_common() function unwinds a single frame record. There
are other unwind steps (e.g. unwinding through trampolines) which are
handled in the regular kernel unwinder, and in future there may be other
common unwind helpers.
Clarify the purpose of unwind_next_common() by renaming it to
unwind_next_frame_record(). At the same time, add commentary, and delete
the redundant comment at the top of asm/stacktrace/common.h.

Having multiple versions of on_accessible_stack() (one per unwinder)
makes it very hard to reason about what is used where due to the
complexity of the various includes, the forward declarations, and
the reliance on everything being 'inline'.
Instead, move the code back where it should be. Each unwinder
implements:
- on_accessible_stack() as well as the helpers it depends on,
- unwind()/unwind_next(), as they pass on_accessible_stack as
a parameter to unwind_next_common() (which is the only common
code here)
This hardly results in any duplication, and makes it much
easier to reason about the code.

The unwinder code is made reusable so that it can be used to
unwind various types of stacks. One usecase is unwinding the
nVHE hyp stack from the host (EL1) in non-protected mode. This
means that the unwinder must be able to translate HYP stack
addresses to kernel addresses.
Add a callback (stack_trace_translate_fp_fn) to allow specifying
the translation function.

unwind_init() is currently a single function that initializes all of the
unwind state. Split it into the following functions and call them
appropriately:
- unwind_init_from_regs() - initialize from regs passed by caller.
- unwind_init_from_caller() - initialize for the current task
from the caller of arch_stack_walk().
- unwind_init_from_task() - initialize from the saved state of a
task other than the current task. In this case, the other
task must not be running.
This is done for two reasons:
- the different ways of initializing are clear
- specialized code can be added to each initializer in the future.
