Ignat Korchagin complained that a potential config regression was
introduced by commit 89cde45591 ("kexec: consolidate kexec and crash
options into kernel/Kconfig.kexec"). Before the commit, CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP
has no dependency on CONFIG_KEXEC. After the commit, CRASH_DUMP selects
KEXEC. That enforces system to have CONFIG_KEXEC=y as long as
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=Y which people may not want.
In Ignat's case, he sets CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y, CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y and
CONFIG_KEXEC=n because kexec_load interface could have security issue if
kernel/initrd has no chance to be signed and verified.
CRASH_DUMP has select of KEXEC because Eric, author of above commit, met a
LKP report of build failure when posting patch of earlier version. Please
see below link to get detail of the LKP report:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/3e8eecd1-a277-2cfb-690e-5de2eb7b988e@oracle.com/T/#u
In fact, that LKP report is triggered because arm's <asm/kexec.h> is
wrapped in CONFIG_KEXEC ifdeffery scope. That is wrong. CONFIG_KEXEC
controls the enabling/disabling of kexec_load interface, but not kexec
feature. Removing the wrongly added CONFIG_KEXEC ifdeffery scope in
<asm/kexec.h> of arm allows us to drop the select KEXEC for CRASH_DUMP.
Meanwhile, change arch/arm/kernel/Makefile to let machine_kexec.o
relocate_kernel.o depend on KEXEC_CORE.

To prepare for completely separating the VGA console screen_info from
the one used in EFI/sysfb, rename the vgacon instances and make them
local as much as possible.
ia64 and arm both have confurations with vgacon and efi, but the contents
never overlaps because ia64 has no EFI framebuffer, and arm only has
vga console on legacy platforms without EFI. Renaming these is required
before the EFI screen_info can be moved into drivers/firmware.
The ia64 vga console is actually registered in two places from
setup_arch(), but one of them is wrong, so drop the one in pcdp.c and
fix the one in setup.c to use the correct conditional.
x86 has to keep them together, as the boot protocol is used to switch
between VGA text console and framebuffer through the screen_info data.

The dummycon default console size used to be determined by architecture,
but now this is a Kconfig setting on everything except ARM. Tracing this
back in the historic git trees, this was used to match the size of VGA
console or VGA framebuffer on early machines, but nowadays that code is
no longer used, except probably on the old footbridge/netwinder since
that is the only one that supports vgacon.
On machines with a framebuffer, booting with DT so far results in always
using the hardcoded 80x30 size in dummycon, while on ATAGS the setting
can come from a bootloader specific override. Both seem to be worse
choices than the Kconfig setting, since the actual text size for fbcon
also depends on the selected font.
Make this work the same way as everywhere else and use the normal
Kconfig setting, except for the footbridge with vgacon, which keeps
using the traditional code. If vgacon is disabled, footbridge can
also ignore the setting. This means the screen_info only has to be
provided when either vgacon or EFI are enabled now.
To limit the amount of surprises on Arm, change the Kconfig default
to the previously used 80x30 setting instead of the usual 80x25.

This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the
empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which
will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link :
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/)
Removed the sentinel as well as the explicit size from ctl_isa_vars. The
size is redundant as the initialization sets it. Changed
insn_emulation->sysctl from a 2 element array of struct ctl_table to a
simple struct. This has no consequence for the sysctl registration as it
is forwarded as a pointer. Removed sentinel from sve_defatul_vl_table,
sme_default_vl_table, tagged_addr_sysctl_table and
armv8_pmu_sysctl_table.
This removal is safe because register_sysctl_sz and register_sysctl use
the array size in addition to checking for the sentinel.

The DT of_device.h and of_platform.h date back to the separate
of_platform_bus_type before it as merged into the regular platform bus.
As part of that merge prepping Arm DT support 13 years ago, they
"temporarily" include each other. They also include platform_device.h
and of.h. As a result, there's a pretty much random mix of those include
files used throughout the tree. In order to detangle these headers and
replace the implicit includes with struct declarations, users need to
explicitly include the correct includes.

Pull x86 shadow stack support from Dave Hansen:
"This is the long awaited x86 shadow stack support, part of Intel's
Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET).
CET consists of two related security features: shadow stacks and
indirect branch tracking. This series implements just the shadow stack
part of this feature, and just for userspace.
The main use case for shadow stack is providing protection against
return oriented programming attacks. It works by maintaining a
secondary (shadow) stack using a special memory type that has
protections against modification. When executing a CALL instruction,
the processor pushes the return address to both the normal stack and
to the special permission shadow stack. Upon RET, the processor pops
the shadow stack copy and compares it to the normal stack copy.
For more information, refer to the links below for the earlier
versions of this patch set"

Pull modules updates from Luis Chamberlain:
"Summary of the changes worth highlighting from most interesting to
boring below:
- Christoph Hellwig's symbol_get() fix to Nvidia's efforts to
circumvent the protection he put in place in year 2020 to prevent
proprietary modules from using GPL only symbols, and also ensuring
proprietary modules which export symbols grandfather their taint.
That was done through year 2020 commit 262e6ae708 ("modules:
inherit TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE"). Christoph's new fix is done by
clarifing __symbol_get() was only ever intended to prevent module
reference loops by Linux kernel modules and so making it only find
symbols exported via EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(). The circumvention tactic
used by Nvidia was to use symbol_get() to purposely swift through
proprietary module symbols and completely bypass our traditional
EXPORT_SYMBOL*() annotations and community agreed upon
restrictions.
A small set of preamble patches fix up a few symbols which just
needed adjusting for this on two modules, the rtc ds1685 and the
networking enetc module. Two other modules just needed some build
fixing and removal of use of __symbol_get() as they can't ever be
modular, as was done by Arnd on the ARM pxa module and Christoph
did on the mmc au1xmmc driver.
This is a good reminder to us that symbol_get() is just a hack to
address things which should be fixed through Kconfig at build time
as was done in the later patches, and so ultimately it should just
go.
- Extremely late minor fix for old module layout 055f23b74b
("module: check for exit sections in layout_sections() instead of
module_init_section()") by James Morse for arm64. Note that this
layout thing is old, it is *not* Song Liu's commit ac3b432839
("module: replace module_layout with module_memory"). The issue
however is very odd to run into and so there was no hurry to get
this in fast.
- Although the fix did not go through the modules tree I'd like to
highlight the fix by Peter Zijlstra in commit 5409730962
("x86/static_call: Fix __static_call_fixup()") now merged in your
tree which came out of what was originally suspected to be a
fallout of the the newer module layout changes by Song Liu commit
ac3b432839 ("module: replace module_layout with module_memory")
instead of module_init_section()"). Thanks to the report by
Christian Bricart and the debugging by Song Liu & Peter that turned
to be noted as a kernel regression in place since v5.19 through
commit ee88d363d1 ("x86,static_call: Use alternative RET
encoding").
I highlight this to reflect and clarify that we haven't seen more
fallout from ac3b432839 ("module: replace module_layout with
module_memory").
- RISC-V toolchain got mapping symbol support which prefix symbols
with "$" to help with alignment considerations for disassembly.
This is used to differentiate between incompatible instruction
encodings when disassembling. RISC-V just matches what ARM/AARCH64
did for alignment considerations and Palmer Dabbelt extended
is_mapping_symbol() to accept these symbols for RISC-V. We already
had support for this for all architectures but it also checked for
the second character, the RISC-V check Dabbelt added was just for
the "$". After a bit of testing and fallout on linux-next and based
on feedback from Masahiro Yamada it was decided to simplify the
check and treat the first char "$" as unique for all architectures,
and so we no make is_mapping_symbol() for all archs if the symbol
starts with "$".

The APIs that allow backtracing across CPUs have always had a way to
exclude the current CPU. This convenience means callers didn't need to
find a place to allocate a CPU mask just to handle the common case.
Let's extend the API to take a CPU ID to exclude instead of just a
boolean. This isn't any more complex for the API to handle and allows the
hardlockup detector to exclude a different CPU (the one it already did a
trace for) without needing to find space for a CPU mask.
Arguably, this new API also encourages safer behavior. Specifically if
the caller wants to avoid tracing the current CPU (maybe because they
already traced the current CPU) this makes it more obvious to the caller
that they need to make sure that the current CPU ID can't change.

Arm platforms use is_default_overflow_handler() to determine if the
hw_breakpoint code should single-step over the breakpoint trigger or
let the custom handler deal with it.
Since bpf_overflow_handler() currently isn't recognized as a default
handler, attaching a BPF program to a PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT event causes
it to keep firing (the instruction triggering the data abort exception
is never skipped). For example:
# bpftrace -e 'watchpoint:0x10000:4:w { print("hit") }' -c ./test
Attaching 1 probe...
hit

^C
(./test performs a single 4-byte store to 0x10000)
This patch replaces the check with uses_default_overflow_handler(),
which accounts for the bpf_overflow_handler() case by also testing
if one of the perf_event_output functions gets invoked indirectly,
via orig_default_handler.

Today module_frob_arch_sections() spots init sections from their
'init' prefix, and uses this to keep the init PLTs separate from the rest.
get_module_plt() uses within_module_init() to determine if a
location is in the init text or not, but this depends on whether
core code thought this was an init section.
Naturally the logic is different.
module_init_layout_section() groups the init and exit text together if
module unloading is disabled, as the exit code will never run. The result
is kernels with this configuration can't load all their modules because
there are not enough PLTs for the combined init+exit section.
A previous patch exposed module_init_layout_section(), use that so the
logic is the same.

A control-protection fault is triggered when a control-flow transfer
attempt violates Shadow Stack or Indirect Branch Tracking constraints.
For example, the return address for a RET instruction differs from the copy
on the shadow stack.
There already exists a control-protection fault handler for handling kernel
IBT faults. Refactor this fault handler into separate user and kernel
handlers, like the page fault handler. Add a control-protection handler
for usermode. To avoid ifdeffery, put them both in a new file cet.c, which
is compiled in the case of either of the two CET features supported in the
kernel: kernel IBT or user mode shadow stack. Move some static inline
functions from traps.c into a header so they can be used in cet.c.
Opportunistically fix a comment in the kernel IBT part of the fault
handler that is on the end of the line instead of preceding it.
Keep the same behavior for the kernel side of the fault handler, except for
converting a BUG to a WARN in the case of a #CP happening when the feature
is missing. This unifies the behavior with the new shadow stack code, and
also prevents the kernel from crashing under this situation which is
potentially recoverable.
The control-protection fault handler works in a similar way as the general
protection fault handler. It provides the si_code SEGV_CPERR to the signal
handler.

Pull SMP updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A large update for SMP management:
- Parallel CPU bringup
The reason why people are interested in parallel bringup is to
shorten the (kexec) reboot time of cloud servers to reduce the
downtime of the VM tenants.
The current fully serialized bringup does the following per AP:
1) Prepare callbacks (allocate, intialize, create threads)
2) Kick the AP alive (e.g. INIT/SIPI on x86)
3) Wait for the AP to report alive state
4) Let the AP continue through the atomic bringup
5) Let the AP run the threaded bringup to full online state
There are two significant delays:
#3 The time for an AP to report alive state in start_secondary()
on x86 has been measured in the range between 350us and 3.5ms
depending on vendor and CPU type, BIOS microcode size etc.
#4 The atomic bringup does the microcode update. This has been
measured to take up to ~8ms on the primary threads depending
on the microcode patch size to apply.
On a two socket SKL server with 56 cores (112 threads) the boot CPU
spends on current mainline about 800ms busy waiting for the APs to
come up and apply microcode. That's more than 80% of the actual
onlining procedure.
This can be reduced significantly by splitting the bringup
mechanism into two parts:
1) Run the prepare callbacks and kick the AP alive for each AP
which needs to be brought up.
The APs wake up, do their firmware initialization and run the
low level kernel startup code including microcode loading in
parallel up to the first synchronization point. (#1 and #2
above)
2) Run the rest of the bringup code strictly serialized per CPU
(#3 - #5 above) as it's done today.
Parallelizing that stage of the CPU bringup might be possible
in theory, but it's questionable whether required surgery
would be justified for a pretty small gain.
If the system is large enough the first AP is already waiting at
the first synchronization point when the boot CPU finished the
wake-up of the last AP. That reduces the AP bringup time on that
SKL from ~800ms to ~80ms, i.e. by a factor ~10x.
The actual gain varies wildly depending on the system, CPU,
microcode patch size and other factors. There are some
opportunities to reduce the overhead further, but that needs some
deep surgery in the x86 CPU bringup code.
For now this is only enabled on x86, but the core functionality
obviously works for all SMP capable architectures.
- Enhancements for SMP function call tracing so it is possible to
locate the scheduling and the actual execution points. That allows
to measure IPI delivery time precisely"

ARM exclusively uses GENERIC_IRQ_MULTI_HANDLER, so at some point
set_handle_irq() needs to be called to handle system-wide
interrupts.
For all DT-enabled boards, this call happens down in the
drivers/irqchip subsystem, after locating the target irqchip
driver from the device tree.
We still have a few instances of the boardfiles with machine
descriptors passing a machine-specific .handle_irq() to the
ARM kernel core.
Get rid of this by letting the few remaining machines consistently
call set_handle_irq() from the end of the .init_irq() callback
instead and diet down one member from the machine descriptor.

Making virt_to_pfn() a static inline taking a strongly typed
(const void *) makes the contract of a passing a pointer of that
type to the function explicit and exposes any misuse of the
macro virt_to_pfn() acting polymorphic and accepting many types
such as (void *), (unitptr_t) or (unsigned long) as arguments
without warnings.
Doing this is a bit intrusive: virt_to_pfn() requires
PHYS_PFN_OFFSET and PAGE_SHIFT to be defined, and this is defined in
<asm/page.h>, so this must be included *before* <asm/memory.h>.
The use of macros were obscuring the unclear inclusion order here,
as the macros would eventually be resolved, but a static inline
like this cannot be compiled with unresolved macros.
The naive solution to include <asm/page.h> at the top of
<asm/memory.h> does not work, because <asm/memory.h> sometimes
includes <asm/page.h> at the end of itself, which would create a
confusing inclusion loop. So instead, take the approach to always
unconditionally include <asm/page.h> at the end of <asm/memory.h>
arch/arm uses <asm/memory.h> explicitly in a lot of places,
however it turns out that if we just unconditionally include
<asm/memory.h> into <asm/page.h> and switch all inclusions of
<asm/memory.h> to <asm/page.h> instead, we enforce the right
order and <asm/memory.h> will always have access to the
definitions.
Put an inclusion guard in place making it impossible to include
<asm/memory.h> explicitly.

Now that we can dispatch all VFP and iWMMXT related undef exceptions
using undef hooks implemented in C code, we no longer need the asm entry
code that takes care of this unless we are using FPE, so we can move it
into the FPE entry code. As this means it is ARM only, we can remove the
Thumb2 specific decorations as well.
It also means the non-standard, asm-only calling convention where
returning via LR means failure and returning via R9 means success is now
only used on legacy platforms that lack any kind of function return
prediction, avoiding the associated performance impact.

Define a undef hook to deal with undef exceptions triggered by iwmmxt
instructions that were issued with the coprocessor disabled. This
removes the dependency on the coprocessor dispatch code in entry-armv.S,
which will be made NWFPE-only in a subsequent patch.

Now that the only remaining coprocessor instructions being handled via
the dispatch in entry-armv.S are ones that only exist in a ARM (A32)
encoding, we can simplify the handling of Thumb undef exceptions, and
send them straight to the undefined instruction handlers in C code.
This also means we can drop the code that partially decodes the
instruction to decide whether it is a 16-bit or 32-bit Thumb
instruction: this is all taken care of by the undef hook.
