Commit 3e86e4d74c ("kbuild: keep .modinfo section in
vmlinux.unstripped") added .modinfo to ELF_DETAILS while removing it
from COMMON_DISCARDS, as it was needed in vmlinux.unstripped and
ELF_DETAILS was present in all architecture specific vmlinux linker
scripts. While this shuffle is fine for vmlinux, ELF_DETAILS and
COMMON_DISCARDS may be used by other linker scripts, such as the s390
and x86 compressed boot images, which may not expect to have a .modinfo
section. In certain circumstances, this could result in a bootloader
failing to load the compressed kernel [1].
Commit ddc6cbef3e ("s390/boot/vmlinux.lds.S: Ensure bzImage ends with
SecureBoot trailer") recently addressed this for the s390 bzImage but
the same bug remains for arm, parisc, and x86. The presence of .modinfo
in the x86 bzImage was the root cause of the issue worked around with
commit d50f210913 ("kbuild: align modinfo section for Secureboot
Authenticode EDK2 compat"). misc.c in arch/x86/boot/compressed includes
lib/decompress_unzstd.c, which in turn includes lib/xxhash.c and its
MODULE_LICENSE / MODULE_DESCRIPTION macros due to the STATIC definition.
Split .modinfo out from ELF_DETAILS into its own macro and handle it in
all vmlinux linker scripts. Discard .modinfo in the places where it was
previously being discarded from being in COMMON_DISCARDS, as it has
never been necessary in those uses.

Pull s390 updates from Heiko Carstens:
- Provide a new interface for dynamic configuration and deconfiguration
of hotplug memory, allowing with and without memmap_on_memory
support. This makes the way memory hotplug is handled on s390 much
more similar to other architectures
- Remove compat support. There shouldn't be any compat user space
around anymore, therefore get rid of a lot of code which also doesn't
need to be tested anymore
- Add stackprotector support. GCC 16 will get new compiler options,
which allow to generate code required for kernel stackprotector
support
- Merge pai_crypto and pai_ext PMU drivers into a new driver. This
removes a lot of duplicated code. The new driver is also extendable
and allows to support new PMUs
- Add driver override support for AP queues
- Rework and extend zcrypt and AP trace events to allow for tracing of
crypto requests
- Support block sizes larger than 65535 bytes for CCW tape devices
- Since the rework of the virtual kernel address space the module area
and the kernel image are within the same 4GB area. This eliminates
the need of weak per cpu variables. Get rid of
ARCH_MODULE_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU
- Various other small improvements and fixes

Stackprotector support was previously unavailable on s390 because by
default compilers generate code which is not suitable for the kernel:
the canary value is accessed via thread local storage, where the address
of thread local storage is within access registers 0 and 1.
Using those registers also for the kernel would come with a significant
performance impact and more complicated kernel entry/exit code, since
access registers contents would have to be exchanged on every kernel entry
and exit.
With the upcoming gcc 16 release new compiler options will become available
which allow to generate code suitable for the kernel. [1]
Compiler option -mstack-protector-guard=global instructs gcc to generate
stackprotector code that refers to a global stackprotector canary value via
symbol __stack_chk_guard. Access to this value is guaranteed to occur via
larl and lgrl instructions.
Furthermore, compiler option -mstack-protector-guard-record generates a
section containing all code addresses that reference the canary value.
To allow for per task canary values the instructions which load the address
of __stack_chk_guard are patched so they access a lowcore field instead: a
per task canary value is available within the task_struct of each task, and
is written to the per-cpu lowcore location on each context switch.
Also add sanity checks and debugging option to be consistent with other
kernel code patching mechanisms.
Full debugging output can be enabled with the following kernel command line
options:
debug_stackprotector
bootdebug
ignore_loglevel
earlyprintk
dyndbg="file stackprotector.c +p"

stackprot: 0000021e402d4eda: c010005a9ae3 -> c01f00070240
where "<insn address>: <old insn> -> <new insn>".

The s390 indirect thunks are placed in the .text.__s390_indirect_jump_*
sections.
Certain config options which enable -ffunction-sections have a custom
version of the TEXT_TEXT macro:
.text.[0-9a-zA-Z_]*
That unintentionally matches the thunk sections, causing them to get
grouped with normal text rather than being handled by their intended
rule later in the script:
*(.text.*_indirect_*)
Fix that by adding another period to the thunk section names, following
the kernel's general convention for distinguishing code-generated text
sections from compiler-generated ones.

The current assumption is that kernel code is always executed with access
key zero, which means that storage key protection does not apply.
However this assumption is not correct: cmpxchg_user_key() may be executed
with a non-zero key; if then the storage key of the page which belongs to
the cmpxchg_user_key() code contains a key with fetch-protection enabled
the result is a protection exception.
For several performance optimizations storage keys are not initialized on
system boot. To keep these optimizations add infrastructure which allows to
define code ranges within functions which are executed with a non-default
key. When such code is executed such functions must explicitly call
skey_regions_initialize().
This will initialize all storage keys belonging to such code ranges in a
way that no protection exceptions happen when the code is executed with a
non-default access key.

Symbol offsets to the KASLR base do not match symbol address in

to the beginning of .text section as result of an optimization.
Revert that optimization and allocate virtual memory for the
whole kernel image including __START_KERNEL bytes as per the

base offset in sync with other architectures.
Rename __START_KERNEL to TEXT_OFFSET, since it represents the

a virtual address.
Still skip mapping TEXT_OFFSET bytes to save memory on pgtables
and provoke exceptions in case an attempt to access this area is
made, as no kernel symbol may reside there.
In case CONFIG_KASAN is enabled the location counter might exceed
the value of TEXT_OFFSET, while the decompressor linker script
forcefully resets it to TEXT_OFFSET, which leads to a sections
overlap link failure. Use MAX() expression to avoid that.

When the kernel is built with CONFIG_PIE_BUILD option enabled it
uses dynamic symbols, for which the linker does not allow more
than 64K number of entries. This can break features like kpatch.
Hence, whenever possible the kernel is built with CONFIG_PIE_BUILD
option disabled. For that support of unaligned symbols generated by
linker scripts in the compiler is necessary.
However, older compilers might lack such support. In that case the
build process resorts to CONFIG_PIE_BUILD option-enabled build.
Compile object files with -fPIC option and then link the kernel
binary with -no-pie linker option.
As result, the dynamic symbols are not generated and not only kpatch
feature succeeds, but also the whole CONFIG_PIE_BUILD option-enabled
code could be dropped.

Rework deployment of kernel image for both compressed and
uncompressed variants as defined by CONFIG_KERNEL_UNCOMPRESSED
kernel configuration variable.
In case CONFIG_KERNEL_UNCOMPRESSED is disabled avoid uncompressing
the kernel to a temporary buffer and copying it to the target
address. Instead, uncompress it directly to the target destination.
In case CONFIG_KERNEL_UNCOMPRESSED is enabled avoid moving the
kernel to default 0x100000 location when KASLR is disabled or
failed. Instead, use the uncompressed kernel image directly.
In case KASLR is disabled or failed .amode31 section location in
memory is not randomized and precedes the kernel image. In case
CONFIG_KERNEL_UNCOMPRESSED is disabled that location overlaps the
area used by the decompression algorithm. That is fine, since that
area is not used after the decompression finished and the size of
.amode31 section is not expected to exceed BOOT_HEAP_SIZE ever.
There is no decompression in case CONFIG_KERNEL_UNCOMPRESSED is
enabled. Therefore, rename decompress_kernel() to deploy_kernel(),
which better describes both uncompressed and compressed cases.
Introduce AMODE31_SIZE macro to avoid immediate value of 0x3000
(the size of .amode31 section) in the decompressor linker script.
Modify the vmlinux linker script to force the size of .amode31
section to AMODE31_SIZE (the value of (_eamode31 - _samode31)
could otherwise differ as result of compiler options used).
Introduce __START_KERNEL macro that defines the kernel ELF image
entry point and set it to the currrent value of 0x100000.

On s390, currently kernel uses the '-fPIE' compiler flag for compiling
vmlinux. This has a few problems:
- It uses dynamic symbols (.dynsym), for which the linker refuses to
allow more than 64k sections. This can break features which use
'-ffunction-sections' and '-fdata-sections', including kpatch-build
[1] and Function Granular KASLR.
- It unnecessarily uses GOT relocations, adding an extra layer of
indirection for many memory accesses.
Instead of using '-fPIE', resolve all the relocations at link time and
then manually adjust any absolute relocations (R_390_64) during boot.
This is done by first telling the linker to preserve all relocations
during the vmlinux link. (Note this is harmless: they are later
stripped in the vmlinux.bin link.)
Then use the 'relocs' tool to find all absolute relocations (R_390_64)
which apply to allocatable sections. The offsets of those relocations
are saved in a special section which is then used to adjust the
relocations during boot.
(Note: For some reason, Clang occasionally creates a GOT reference, even
without '-fPIE'. So Clang-compiled kernels have a GOT, which needs to
be adjusted.)
On my mostly-defconfig kernel, this reduces kernel text size by ~1.3%.

[3] https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2023-August/625986.html
Compiler consideration:
Gcc recently implemented an optimization [2] for loading symbols without
explicit alignment, aligning with the IBM Z ELF ABI. This ABI mandates
symbols to reside on a 2-byte boundary, enabling the use of the larl
instruction. However, kernel linker scripts may still generate unaligned
symbols. To address this, a new -munaligned-symbols option has been
introduced [3] in recent gcc versions. This option has to be used with
future gcc versions.
Older Clang lacks support for handling unaligned symbols generated
by kernel linker scripts when the kernel is built without -fPIE. However,
future versions of Clang will include support for the -munaligned-symbols
option. When the support is unavailable, compile the kernel with -fPIE
to maintain the existing behavior.
In addition to it:
move vmlinux.relocs to safe relocation
When the kernel is built with CONFIG_KERNEL_UNCOMPRESSED, the entire
uncompressed vmlinux.bin is positioned in the bzImage decompressor
image at the default kernel LMA of 0x100000, enabling it to be executed
in-place. However, the size of .vmlinux.relocs could be large enough to
cause an overlap with the uncompressed kernel at the address 0x100000.
To address this issue, .vmlinux.relocs is positioned after the
.rodata.compressed in the bzImage. Nevertheless, in this configuration,
vmlinux.relocs will overlap with the .bss section of vmlinux.bin. To
overcome that, move vmlinux.relocs to a safe location before clearing
.bss and handling relocs.
Compile warning fix from Sumanth Korikkar:
When kernel is built with CONFIG_LD_ORPHAN_WARN and -fno-PIE, there are
several warnings:
ld: warning: orphan section `.rela.iplt' from
`arch/s390/kernel/head64.o' being placed in section `.rela.dyn'
ld: warning: orphan section `.rela.head.text' from
`arch/s390/kernel/head64.o' being placed in section `.rela.dyn'
ld: warning: orphan section `.rela.init.text' from
`arch/s390/kernel/head64.o' being placed in section `.rela.dyn'
ld: warning: orphan section `.rela.rodata.cst8' from
`arch/s390/kernel/head64.o' being placed in section `.rela.dyn'
Orphan sections are sections that exist in an object file but don't have
a corresponding output section in the final executable. ld raises a
warning when it identifies such sections.
Eliminate the warning by placing all .rela orphan sections in .rela.dyn
and raise an error when size of .rela.dyn is greater than zero. i.e.
Dont just neglect orphan sections.
This is similar to adjustment performed in x86, where kernel is built
with -fno-PIE.

Describe these in vmlinux.lds.S so there is no more warning and the
sections are placed consistently between linkers.

It is quite subtle to use test_fp_ctl() correctly. Therefore remove it -
instead copy whatever new floating point control (fpc) register values are
supposed to be used into its save area.
Test the validity of the new value when loading it. If the new value is
invalid, load the fpc register with zero.
This seems to be a the best way to approach this problem. Even though this
changes behavior:
- sigreturn with an invalid fpc value on the stack will succeed, and
continue with zero value, instead of returning with SIGSEGV
- ptraced processes will also use a zero value instead of letting the
request fail with -EINVAL
However all of this seems to acceptable. After all testing of the value was
only implemented to avoid that user space can crash the kernel. It is not
there to test values for validity; and the assumption is that there is no
existing user space which is doing this.

Currently, exception tables are marked as ro_after_init. However,
since they are sorted during compile time using scripts/sorttable,
they can be moved to RO_DATA using the RO_EXCEPTION_TABLE_ALIGN macro,
which is specifically designed for this purpose.
