Pull x86 irq entry updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The irq stack switching was moved out of the ASM entry code in course
  of the entry code consolidation. It ended up being suboptimal in
  various ways.

  This reworks the X86 irq stack handling:

   - Make the stack switching inline so the stackpointer manipulation is
     not longer at an easy to find place.

   - Get rid of the unnecessary indirect call.

   - Avoid the double stack switching in interrupt return and reuse the
     interrupt stack for softirq handling.

   - A objtool fix for CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y builds where it got
     confused about the stack pointer manipulation"

Andrey Konovalov f00748bfa0 kasan: prefix global functions with kasan_
Patch series "kasan: HW_TAGS tests support and fixes", v4.

This patchset adds support for running KASAN-KUnit tests with the
hardware tag-based mode and also contains a few fixes.

This patch (of 15):

There's a number of internal KASAN functions that are used across multiple
source code files and therefore aren't marked as static inline.  To avoid
littering the kernel function names list with generic function names,
prefix all such KASAN functions with kasan_.

As a part of this change:

 - Rename internal (un)poison_range() to kasan_(un)poison() (no _range)
   to avoid name collision with a public kasan_unpoison_range().

 - Rename check_memory_region() to kasan_check_range(), as it's a more
   fitting name.

Pull more clang LTO updates from Kees Cook:
 "Clang LTO x86 enablement.

  Full disclosure: while this has _not_ been in linux-next (since it
  initially looked like the objtool dependencies weren't going to make
  v5.12), it has been under daily build and runtime testing by Sami for
  quite some time. These x86 portions have been discussed on lkml, with
  Peter, Josh, and others helping nail things down.

  The bulk of the changes are to get objtool working happily. The rest
  of the x86 enablement is very small.

   - Generate __mcount_loc in objtool (Peter Zijlstra)

   - Support running objtool against vmlinux.o (Sami Tolvanen)

Sami Tolvanen 18a14575ae objtool: Fix __mcount_loc generation with Clang's assembler
When objtool generates relocations for the __mcount_loc section, it
tries to reference __fentry__ calls by their section symbol offset.
However, this fails with Clang's integrated assembler as it may not
generate section symbols for every section. This patch looks up a
function symbol instead if the section symbol is missing, similarly
to commit e81e072443 ("objtool: Support Clang non-section symbols

Peter Zijlstra 724c8a23d5 objtool: Fix stack-swizzle for FRAME_POINTER=y
When objtool encounters the stack-swizzle:

	mov %rsp, (%[tos])
	mov %[tos], %rsp
	...
	pop %rsp

Inside a FRAME_POINTER=y build, things go a little screwy because
clearly we're not adjusting the cfa->base. This then results in the
pop %rsp not being detected as a restore of cfa->base so it will turn
into a regular POP and offset the stack, resulting in:

  kernel/softirq.o: warning: objtool: do_softirq()+0xdb: return with modified stack frame

Therefore, have "mov %[tos], %rsp" act like a PUSH (it sorta is
anyway) to balance the things out. We're not too concerned with the
actual stack_size for frame-pointer builds, since we don't generate
ORC data for them anyway.

Josh Poimboeuf 73f44fe19d static_call: Allow module use without exposing static_call_key
When exporting static_call_key; with EXPORT_STATIC_CALL*(), the module
can use static_call_update() to change the function called.  This is
not desirable in general.

Not exporting static_call_key however also disallows usage of
static_call(), since objtool needs the key to construct the
static_call_site.

Solve this by allowing objtool to create the static_call_site using
the trampoline address when it builds a module and cannot find the
static_call_key symbol. The module loader will then try and map the
trampole back to a key before it constructs the normal sites list.

Doing this requires a trampoline -> key associsation, so add another
magic section that keeps those.

Peter Zijlstra 2d24dd5798 rbtree: Add generic add and find helpers
I've always been bothered by the endless (fragile) boilerplate for
rbtree, and I recently wrote some rbtree helpers for objtool and
figured I should lift them into the kernel and use them more widely.

Provide:

partial-order; less() based:
 - rb_add(): add a new entry to the rbtree
 - rb_add_cached(): like rb_add(), but for a rb_root_cached

total-order; cmp() based:
 - rb_find(): find an entry in an rbtree
 - rb_find_add(): find an entry, and add if not found

 - rb_find_first(): find the first (leftmost) matching entry
 - rb_next_match(): continue from rb_find_first()
 - rb_for_each(): iterate a sub-tree using the previous two

Inlining and constant propagation should see the compiler inline the
whole thing, including the various compare functions.

Peter Zijlstra 87ccc826bf x86/unwind/orc: Change REG_SP_INDIRECT
Currently REG_SP_INDIRECT is unused but means (%rsp + offset),
change it to mean (%rsp) + offset.

The reason is that we're going to swizzle stack in the middle of a C
function with non-trivial stack footprint. This means that when the
unwinder finds the ToS, it needs to dereference it (%rsp) and then add
the offset to the next frame, resulting in: (%rsp) + offset

This is somewhat unfortunate, since REG_BP_INDIRECT is used (by DRAP)
and thus needs to retain the current (%rbp + offset).

Josh Poimboeuf b735bd3e68 objtool: Combine UNWIND_HINT_RET_OFFSET and UNWIND_HINT_FUNC
The ORC metadata generated for UNWIND_HINT_FUNC isn't actually very
func-like.  With certain usages it can cause stack state mismatches
because it doesn't set the return address (CFI_RA).

Also, users of UNWIND_HINT_RET_OFFSET no longer need to set a custom
return stack offset.  Instead they just need to specify a func-like
situation, so the current ret_offset code is hacky for no good reason.

Solve both problems by simplifying the RET_OFFSET handling and
converting it into a more useful UNWIND_HINT_FUNC.

If we end up needing the old 'ret_offset' functionality again in the
future, we should be able to support it pretty easily with the addition
of a custom 'sp_offset' in UNWIND_HINT_FUNC.

Josh Poimboeuf ecf11ba4d0 objtool: Assume only ELF functions do sibling calls
There's an inconsistency in how sibling calls are detected in
non-function asm code, depending on the scope of the object.  If the
target code is external to the object, objtool considers it a sibling
call.  If the target code is internal but not a function, objtool
*doesn't* consider it a sibling call.

This can cause some inconsistencies between per-object and vmlinux.o
validation.

Instead, assume only ELF functions can do sibling calls.  This generally
matches existing reality, and makes sibling call validation consistent
between vmlinux.o and per-object.

Objtool converts direct retpoline jumps to type INSN_JUMP_DYNAMIC, since
that's what they are semantically.

That conversion doesn't work in vmlinux.o validation because the
indirect thunk function is present in the object, so the intra-object
jump check succeeds before the retpoline jump check gets a chance.

intra-object jump.

Josh Poimboeuf 655cf86548 objtool: Don't fail the kernel build on fatal errors
This is basically a revert of commit 644592d328 ("objtool: Fail the

That change turned out to be more trouble than it's worth.  Failing the

blocks CI build testing.

These fatal-type warnings aren't yet as rare as we'd hope, due to the
ever-increasing matrix of supported toolchains/plugins and their
fast-changing nature as of late.

Also, there are more people (and bots) looking for objtool warnings than
ever before, so even non-fatal warnings aren't likely to be ignored for
long.

Josh Poimboeuf c9c324dc22 objtool: Support stack layout changes in alternatives
The ORC unwinder showed a warning [1] which revealed the stack layout
didn't match what was expected.  The problem was that paravirt patching
had replaced "CALL *pv_ops.irq.save_fl" with "PUSHF;POP".  That changed
the stack layout between the PUSHF and the POP, so unwinding from an
interrupt which occurred between those two instructions would fail.

Part of the agreed upon solution was to rework the custom paravirt
patching code to use alternatives instead, since objtool already knows
how to read alternatives (and converging runtime patching infrastructure
is always a good thing anyway).  But the main problem still remains,
which is that runtime patching can change the stack layout.

Making stack layout changes in alternatives was disallowed with commit
7117f16bf4 ("objtool: Fix ORC vs alternatives"), but now that paravirt
is going to be doing it, it needs to be supported.

One way to do so would be to modify the ORC table when the code gets
patched.  But ORC is simple -- a good thing! -- and it's best to leave
it alone.

Instead, support stack layout changes by "flattening" all possible stack
states (CFI) from parallel alternative code streams into a single set of
linear states.  The only necessary limitation is that CFI conflicts are
disallowed at all possible instruction boundaries.

For example, this scenario is allowed:

          Alt1                    Alt2                    Alt3

   0x00   CALL *pv_ops.save_fl    CALL xen_save_fl        PUSHF
   0x01                                                   POP %RAX

   ...
   0x05                           NOP

   0x07   <insn>

The unwind information for offset-0x00 is identical for all 3
alternatives.  Similarly offset-0x05 and higher also are identical (and
the same as 0x00).  However offset-0x01 has deviating CFI, but that is
only relevant for Alt3, neither of the other alternative instruction
streams will ever hit that offset.

This scenario is NOT allowed:

          Alt1                    Alt2

   0x00   CALL *pv_ops.save_fl    PUSHF
   0x01                           NOP6
   ...
   0x07   NOP                     POP %RAX

The problem here is that offset-0x7, which is an instruction boundary in
both possible instruction patch streams, has two conflicting stack
layouts.

[ The above examples were stolen from Peter Zijlstra. ]

The new flattened CFI array is used both for the detection of conflicts
(like the second example above) and the generation of linear ORC
entries.

BTW, another benefit of these changes is that, thanks to some related
cleanups (new fake nops and alt_group struct) objtool can finally be rid
of fake jumps, which were a constant source of headaches.
