Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
"Mostly core changes and cleanups, some notable fixes and two
performance improvements in directory logging.
The IO path cleanups are removing or refactoring old code, scrub main
loop has been completely rewritten also refactoring old code.
There are some changes to non-btrfs code, mostly trivial, the cgroup
punt bio logic is only moved from generic code.
Performance improvements:
- improve logging changes in a directory during one transaction,
avoid iterating over items and reduce lock contention (fsync time
4x lower)
- when logging directory entries during one transaction, reduce
locking of subvolume trees by checking tree-log instead
(improvement in throughput and latency for concurrent access to a
subvolume)
Notable fixes:
- dev-replace:
- properly honor read mode when requested to avoid reading from
source device
- target device won't be used for eventual read repair, this is
unreliable for NODATASUM files
- when there are unpaired (and unrepairable) metadata during
replace, exit early with error and don't try to finish whole
operation
- scrub ioctl properly rejects unknown flags
- fix global block reserve calculations
- fix partial direct io write when there's a page fault in the
middle, iomap will try to continue with partial request but the
btrfs part did not match that, this can lead to zeros written
instead of data
Core changes:
- io path:
- continued cleanups and refactoring around bio handling
- extent io submit path simplifications and cleanups
- flush write path simplifications and cleanups
- rework logic of passing sync mode of bio, with further cleanups
- rewrite scrub code flow, restructure how the stripes are enumerated
and verified in a more unified way
- allow to set lower threshold for block group reclaim in debug mode
to aid zoned mode testing
- remove obsolete time-based delayed ref throttling logic when
truncating items
- DREW locks are not using percpu variables anymore
- more warning fixes (-Wmaybe-uninitialized)
- u64 division simplifications
- error handling improvements
Non-btrfs code changes:
- push cgroup punt bio logic to btrfs code (there was no other user
of that), the functionality can be now selected separately by
BLK_CGROUP_PUNT_BIO
- crc32c_impl removed after removing last uses in btrfs code
- add btrfs_assertfail() to objtool table"

The old 'copy_user_generic_unrolled' function was oddly implemented for
largely historical reasons: it had been largely based on the uncached
copy case, which has some other concerns.
For example, the __copy_user_nocache() function uses 'movnti' for the
destination stores, and those want the destination to be aligned. In
contrast, the regular copy function doesn't really care, and trying to
align things only complicates matters.
Also, like the clear_user function, the copy function had some odd
handling of the repeat counts, complicating the exception handling for
no really good reason. So as with clear_user, just write it to keep all
the byte counts in the %rcx register, exactly like the 'rep movs'
functionality that this replaces.
Unlike a real 'rep movs', we do allow for this to trash a few temporary
registers to not have to unnecessarily save/restore registers on the
stack.
And like the clearing case, rename this to what it now clearly is:
'rep_movs_alternative', and make it one coherent function, so that it
shows up as such in profiles (instead of the odd split between
"copy_user_generic_unrolled" and "copy_user_short_string", the latter of
which was not about strings at all, and which was shared with the
uncached case).
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
The old version was oddly written to have the repeat count in multiple
registers. So instead of taking advantage of %rax being zero, it had
some sub-counts in it. All just for a "single word clearing" loop,
which isn't even efficient to begin with.
So get rid of those games, and just keep all the state in the same
registers we got it in (and that we should return things in). That not
only makes this act much more like 'rep stos' (which this function is
replacing), but makes it much easier to actually do the obvious loop
unrolling.
Also rename the function from the now nonsensical 'clear_user_original'
to what it now clearly is: 'rep_stos_alternative'.
End result: if we don't have a fast 'rep stosb', at least we can have a
fast fallback for it.
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
This does the same thing for the user copies as commit 0db7058e8e
("x86/clear_user: Make it faster") did for clear_user(). In other
words, it inlines the "rep movs" case when X86_FEATURE_FSRM is set,
avoiding the function call entirely.
In order to do that, it makes the calling convention for the out-of-line
case ("copy_user_generic_unrolled") match the 'rep movs' calling
convention, although it does also end up clobbering a number of
additional registers.
Also, to simplify code sharing in the low-level assembly with the
__copy_user_nocache() function (that uses the normal C calling
convention), we end up with a kind of mixed return value for the
low-level asm code: it will return the result in both %rcx (to work as
an alternative for the 'rep movs' case), _and_ in %rax (for the nocache
case).
We could avoid this by wrapping __copy_user_nocache() callers in an
inline asm, but since the cost is just an extra register copy, it's
probably not worth it.
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
This is preparatory work for inlining the 'rep movs' case, but also a
cleanup. The __copy_user_nocache() function was mis-used by the rdma
code to do uncached kernel copies that don't actually want user copies
at all, and as a result doesn't want the stac/clac either.
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
The modern target to use is FSRS (Fast Short REP STOS), and the other
cases should only be used for bigger areas (ie mainly things like page
clearing).
Note! This changes the conditional for the inlining from FSRM ("fast
short rep movs") to FSRS ("fast short rep stos").
We'll have a separate fixup for AMD microarchitectures that have a good
'rep stosb' yet do not set the new Intel-specific FSRS bit (because FSRM
was there first).

By using calloc() instead of malloc() in a loop, libc does not have to
keep around bookkeeping information for each single structure.
This reduces maximum memory usage while processing vmlinux.o from
3153325 KB to 3035668 KB (-3.7%) on my notebooks "localmodconfig".
Note this introduces memory leaks, because some additional structs get
added to the lists later after reading the symbols and sections from the
original object. Luckily we don't really care about memory leaks in
objtool.

HOSTCC is always wanted when building objtool. Setting CC to HOSTCC
happens after tools/scripts/Makefile.include is included, meaning
flags (like CFLAGS) are set assuming say CC is gcc, but then it can be
later set to HOSTCC which may be clang. tools/scripts/Makefile.include
is needed for host set up and common macros in objtool's
Makefile. Rather than override the CC variable to HOSTCC, just pass CC
as HOSTCC to the sub-makes of Makefile.build, the libsubcmd builds and
also to the linkage step.

Some out-of-tree modules still do not use module_init() / module_exit()
macros and simply create functions with magic names init_module() and
cleanup_module() instead. As a result, these functions are not recognized
as indirect call targets by objtool and such module fails to load into an
IBT enabled kernel.
This old way is not even documented any more but it is cleaner to issue
a warning than to let the module fail on load without obvious reason.

Hand-written asm often contains non-function symbols in executable
sections. _end symbols for finding the size of instruction blocks
for runtime processing is one such usage.
optprobe_template_end is one example that causes the warning:
objtool: optprobe_template_end(): can't find starting instruction
This is because the symbol happens to be at the end of the file (and
therefore end of a section in the object file).
So ignore end-of-section STT_NOTYPE symbols instead of bailing out
because an instruction can't be found. While we're here, add a more
descriptive warning for STT_FUNC symbols found at the end of a
section.

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.

Pull x86 core updates from Borislav Petkov:
- Add the call depth tracking mitigation for Retbleed which has been
long in the making. It is a lighterweight software-only fix for
Skylake-based cores where enabling IBRS is a big hammer and causes a
significant performance impact.
What it basically does is, it aligns all kernel functions to 16 bytes
boundary and adds a 16-byte padding before the function, objtool
collects all functions' locations and when the mitigation gets
applied, it patches a call accounting thunk which is used to track
the call depth of the stack at any time.
When that call depth reaches a magical, microarchitecture-specific
value for the Return Stack Buffer, the code stuffs that RSB and
avoids its underflow which could otherwise lead to the Intel variant
of Retbleed.
This software-only solution brings a lot of the lost performance
back, as benchmarks suggest:

That page above also contains a lot more detailed explanation of the
whole mechanism
- Implement a new control flow integrity scheme called FineIBT which is
based on the software kCFI implementation and uses hardware IBT
support where present to annotate and track indirect branches using a
hash to validate them
- Other misc fixes and cleanups
