Remove <linux/hex.h> from <linux/kernel.h> and update all users/callers of
hex.h interfaces to directly #include <linux/hex.h> as part of the process
of putting kernel.h on a diet.
Removing hex.h from kernel.h means that 36K C source files don't have to
pay the price of parsing hex.h for the roughly 120 C source files that
need it.
This change has been build-tested with allmodconfig on most ARCHes. Also,
all users/callers of <linux/hex.h> in the entire source tree have been
updated if needed (if not already #included).

Ftrace is tightly coupled with architecture specific code because it
requires the use of trampolines written in assembly. This means that when
a new feature or optimization is made, it must be done for all
architectures. To simplify the approach, CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_* configs are
added to denote which architecture has the new enhancement so that other
architectures can still function until they too have been updated.
The CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT was added to help simplify the
DYNAMIC_FTRACE work, but now every architecture that implements
DYNAMIC_FTRACE also has HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT set too, making it redundant
with the HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE.
Remove the HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT config and use DYNAMIC_FTRACE directly where
applicable.

Currently ftrace only dumps the global trace buffer on an OOPs. For
debugging a production usecase, instance trace will be helpful to
check specific problems since global trace buffer may be used for
other purposes.
This patch extend the ftrace_dump_on_oops parameter to dump a specific
or multiple trace instances:
- ftrace_dump_on_oops=0: as before -- don't dump
- ftrace_dump_on_oops[=1]: as before -- dump the global trace buffer
on all CPUs
- ftrace_dump_on_oops=2 or =orig_cpu: as before -- dump the global
trace buffer on CPU that triggered the oops
- ftrace_dump_on_oops=<instance_name>: new behavior -- dump the
tracing instance matching <instance_name>
- ftrace_dump_on_oops[=2/orig_cpu],<instance1_name>[=2/orig_cpu],
<instrance2_name>[=2/orig_cpu]: new behavior -- dump the global trace
buffer and multiple instance buffer on all CPUs, or only dump on CPU
that triggered the oops if =2 or =orig_cpu is given
Also, the sysctl node can handle the input accordingly.

The wordpart.h header is collecting APIs related to the handling
parts of the word (usually in byte granularity). The upper_*_bits()
and lower_*_bits() are good candidates to be moved to there.
This helps to clean up header dependency hell with regard to kernel.h
as the latter gathers completely unrelated stuff together and slows
down compilation (especially when it's included into other header).

The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing.
But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst:
Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs
file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing.
For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system,
the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at:
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing
Many comments and Kconfig help messages in the tracing code still refer
to this older debugfs path, so let's update them to avoid confusion.

The function hex2bin is used to load cryptographic keys into device
mapper targets dm-crypt and dm-integrity. It should take constant time
independent on the processed data, so that concurrently running
unprivileged code can't infer any information about the keys via
microarchitectural convert channels.
This patch changes the function hex_to_bin so that it contains no
branches and no memory accesses.
Note that this shouldn't cause performance degradation because the size
of the new function is the same as the size of the old function (on
x86-64) - and the new function causes no branch misprediction penalties.
I compile-tested this function with gcc on aarch64 alpha arm hppa hppa64
i386 ia64 m68k mips32 mips64 powerpc powerpc64 riscv sh4 s390x sparc32
sparc64 x86_64 and with clang on aarch64 arm hexagon i386 mips32 mips64
powerpc powerpc64 s390x sparc32 sparc64 x86_64 to verify that there are
no branches in the generated code.

Where an architecture selects HAVE_STATIC_CALL but not
HAVE_STATIC_CALL_INLINE, each static call has an out-of-line trampoline
which will either branch to a callee or return to the caller.
On such architectures, a number of constraints can conspire to make
those trampolines more complicated and potentially less useful than we'd
like. For example:
* Hardware and software control flow integrity schemes can require the
addition of "landing pad" instructions (e.g. `BTI` for arm64), which
will also be present at the "real" callee.
* Limited branch ranges can require that trampolines generate or load an
address into a register and perform an indirect branch (or at least
have a slow path that does so). This loses some of the benefits of
having a direct branch.
* Interaction with SW CFI schemes can be complicated and fragile, e.g.
requiring that we can recognise idiomatic codegen and remove
indirections understand, at least until clang proves more helpful
mechanisms for dealing with this.
For PREEMPT_DYNAMIC, we don't need the full power of static calls, as we
really only need to enable/disable specific preemption functions. We can
achieve the same effect without a number of the pain points above by
using static keys to fold early returns into the preemption functions
themselves rather than in an out-of-line trampoline, effectively
inlining the trampoline into the start of the function.
For arm64, this results in good code generation. For example, the
dynamic_cond_resched() wrapper looks as follows when enabled. When
disabled, the first `B` is replaced with a `NOP`, resulting in an early
return.
| <dynamic_cond_resched>:
| bti c
| b <dynamic_cond_resched+0x10> // or `nop`
| mov w0, #0x0
| ret
| mrs x0, sp_el0
| ldr x0, [x0, #8]
| cbnz x0, <dynamic_cond_resched+0x8>
| paciasp
| stp x29, x30, [sp, #-16]!
| mov x29, sp
| bl <preempt_schedule_common>
| mov w0, #0x1
| ldp x29, x30, [sp], #16
| autiasp
| ret
... compared to the regular form of the function:
| <__cond_resched>:
| bti c
| mrs x0, sp_el0
| ldr x1, [x0, #8]
| cbz x1, <__cond_resched+0x18>
| mov w0, #0x0
| ret
| paciasp
| stp x29, x30, [sp, #-16]!
| mov x29, sp
| bl <preempt_schedule_common>
| mov w0, #0x1
| ldp x29, x30, [sp], #16
| autiasp
| ret
Any architecture which implements static keys should be able to use this
to implement PREEMPT_DYNAMIC with similar cost to non-inlined static
calls. Since this is likely to have greater overhead than (inlined)
static calls, PREEMPT_DYNAMIC is only defaulted to enabled when
HAVE_PREEMPT_DYNAMIC_CALL is selected.
