Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A collection of assorted fixes:
- Fix for the pinned cr0/4 fallout which escaped all testing efforts
because the kvm-intel module was never loaded when the kernel was
compiled with CONFIG_PARAVIRT=n. The cr0/4 accessors are moved out
of line and static key is now solely used in the core code and
therefore can stay in the RO after init section. So the kvm-intel
and other modules do not longer reference the (read only) static
key which the module loader tried to update.
- Prevent an infinite loop in arch_stack_walk_user() by breaking out
of the loop once the return address is detected to be 0.
- Prevent the int3_emulate_call() selftest from corrupting the stack
when KASAN is enabled. KASASN clobbers more registers than covered
by the emulated call implementation. Convert the int3_magic()
selftest to a ASM function so the compiler cannot KASANify it.
- Unbreak the build with old GCC versions and with the Gold linker by
reverting the 'Move of _etext to the actual end of .text'. In both
cases the build fails with 'Invalid absolute R_X86_64_32S
relocation: _etext'
- Initialize the context lock for init_mm, which was never an issue
until the alternatives code started to use a temporary mm for
patching.
- Fix a build warning vs. the LOWMEM_PAGES constant where clang
complains rightfully about a signed integer overflow in the shift
operation by converting the operand to an ULL.
- Adjust the misnamed ENDPROC() of common_spurious in the 32bit entry
code"

In order for the kernel to be encrypted "in place" during boot, a workarea
outside of the kernel must be used. This SME workarea used during early
encryption of the kernel is situated on a 2MB boundary after the end of
the kernel text, data, etc. sections (_end).
This works well during initial boot of a compressed kernel because of
the relocation used for decompression of the kernel. But when performing
a kexec boot, there's a chance that the SME workarea may not be mapped
by the kexec pagetables or that some of the other data used by kexec
could exist in this range.
Create a section for SME in vmlinux.lds.S. Position it after "_end", which
is after "__end_of_kernel_reserve", so that the memory will be reclaimed
during boot and since this area is all zeroes, it compresses well. This
new section will be part of the kernel image, so kexec will account for it
in pagetable mappings and placement of data after the kernel.
Here's an example of a kernel size without and with the SME section:

The memory occupied by the kernel is reserved using memblock_reserve()
in setup_arch(). Currently, the area is from symbols _text to __bss_stop.
Everything after __bss_stop must be specifically reserved otherwise it
is discarded. This is not clearly documented.
Add a new symbol, __end_of_kernel_reserve, that more readily identifies
what is reserved, along with comments that indicate what is reserved,
what is discarded and what needs to be done to prevent a section from
being discarded.

When building x86 with Clang LTO and CFI, CFI jump regions are
automatically added to the end of the .text section late in linking. As a
result, the _etext position was being labelled before the appended jump
regions, causing confusion about where the boundaries of the executable
region actually are in the running kernel, and broke at least the fault
injection code. This moves the _etext mark to outside (and immediately
after) the .text area, as it already the case on other architectures
(e.g. arm64, arm).

Currently, the IRQ stack is hardcoded as the first page of the percpu
area, and the stack canary lives on the IRQ stack. The former gets in
the way of adding an IRQ stack guard page, and the latter is a potential
weakness in the stack canary mechanism.
Split the IRQ stack into its own private percpu pages.

With CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION=y, we compile the kernel with
-fdata-sections, which also splits the .bss section.
The new section, with a new .bss.* name, which pattern gets missed by the
main x86 linker script which only expects the '.bss' name. This results
in the discarding of the second part and a too small, truncated .bss
section and an unhappy, non-working kernel.
Use the common BSS_MAIN macro in the linker script to properly capture
and merge all the generated BSS sections.

The various x86 linker scripts use the three-argument linker script
command variant OUTPUT_FORMAT(DEFAULT, BIG, LITTLE) which specifies
three object file formats when the -EL and -EB linker command line
options are used. When -EB is specified, OUTPUT_FORMAT issues the BIG
object file format, when -EL, LITTLE, respectively, and when neither is
specified, DEFAULT.
However, those -E[LB] options are not used by arch/x86/ so switch to the
simple OUTPUT_FORMAT(BFDNAME) macro variant.

Accessing per-CPU variables is done by finding the offset of the
variable in the per-CPU block and adding it to the address of the
respective CPU's block.
Section 3.10.8 of ld.bfd's documentation states:
For expressions involving numbers, relative addresses and absolute
addresses, ld follows these rules to evaluate terms:
Other binary operations, that is, between two relative addresses
not in the same section, or between a relative address and an
absolute address, first convert any non-absolute term to an
absolute address before applying the operator."
Note that LLVM's linker does not adhere to the GNU ld's implementation
and as such requires implicitly-absolute terms to be explicitly marked
as absolute in the linker script. If not, it fails currently with:
ld.lld: error: ./arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds:153: at least one side of the expression must be absolute
ld.lld: error: ./arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds:154: at least one side of the expression must be absolute
Makefile:1040: recipe for target 'vmlinux' failed
This is not a functional change for ld.bfd which converts the term to an
absolute symbol anyways as specified above.

kvmclock defines few static variables which are shared with the
hypervisor during the kvmclock initialization.
When SEV is active, memory is encrypted with a guest-specific key, and
if the guest OS wants to share the memory region with the hypervisor
then it must clear the C-bit before sharing it.
Currently, we use kernel_physical_mapping_init() to split large pages
before clearing the C-bit on shared pages. But it fails when called from
the kvmclock initialization (mainly because the memblock allocator is
not ready that early during boot).
Add a __bss_decrypted section attribute which can be used when defining
such shared variable. The so-defined variables will be placed in the
.bss..decrypted section. This section will be mapped with C=0 early
during boot.
The .bss..decrypted section has a big chunk of memory that may be unused
when memory encryption is not active, free it when memory encryption is
not active.

The SYSCALL64 trampoline has a couple of nice properties:
- The usual sequence of SWAPGS followed by two GS-relative accesses to
set up RSP is somewhat slow because the GS-relative accesses need
to wait for SWAPGS to finish. The trampoline approach allows
RIP-relative accesses to set up RSP, which avoids the stall.
- The trampoline avoids any percpu access before CR3 is set up,
which means that no percpu memory needs to be mapped in the user
page tables. This prevents using Meltdown to read any percpu memory
outside the cpu_entry_area and prevents using timing leaks
to directly locate the percpu areas.
The downsides of using a trampoline may outweigh the upsides, however.
It adds an extra non-contiguous I$ cache line to system calls, and it
forces an indirect jump to transfer control back to the normal kernel
text after CR3 is set up. The latter is because x86 lacks a 64-bit
direct jump instruction that could jump from the trampoline to the entry
text. With retpolines enabled, the indirect jump is extremely slow.
Change the code to map the percpu TSS into the user page tables to allow
the non-trampoline SYSCALL64 path to work under PTI. This does not add a
new direct information leak, since the TSS is readable by Meltdown from the
cpu_entry_area alias regardless. It does allow a timing attack to locate
the percpu area, but KASLR is more or less a lost cause against local
attack on CPUs vulnerable to Meltdown regardless. As far as I'm concerned,
on current hardware, KASLR is only useful to mitigate remote attacks that
try to attack the kernel without first gaining RCE against a vulnerable
user process.
On Skylake, with CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y and KPTI on, this reduces syscall
overhead from ~237ns to ~228ns.
There is a possible alternative approach: Move the trampoline within 2G of
the entry text and make a separate copy for each CPU. This would allow a
direct jump to rejoin the normal entry path. There are pro's and con's for
this approach:
+ It avoids a pipeline stall
- It executes from an extra page and read from another extra page during
the syscall. The latter is because it needs to use a relative
addressing mode to find sp1 -- it's the same *cacheline*, but accessed
using an alias, so it's an extra TLB entry.
- Slightly more memory. This would be one page per CPU for a simple
implementation and 64-ish bytes per CPU or one page per node for a more
complex implementation.
- More code complexity.
The current approach is chosen for simplicity and because the alternative
does not provide a significant benefit, which makes it worth.

The pti_clone_kernel_text() function references __end_rodata_hpage_align,
which is only present on x86-64. This makes sense as the end of the rodata
section is not huge-page aligned on 32 bit.
Nevertheless a symbol is required for the function that points at the right

purpose and use it in pti_clone_kernel_text().

Disable the kprobe probing of the entry trampoline:
.entry_trampoline is a code area that is used to ensure page table
isolation between userspace and kernelspace.
At the beginning of the execution of the trampoline, we load the
kernel's CR3 register. This has the effect of enabling the translation
of the kernel virtual addresses to physical addresses. Before this
happens most kernel addresses can not be translated because the running
process' CR3 is still used.
If a kprobe is placed on the trampoline code before that change of the
CR3 register happens the kernel crashes because int3 handling pages are
not accessible.
To fix this, add the .entry_trampoline section to the kprobe blacklist
to prohibit the probing of code before all the kernel pages are
accessible.

Handling SYSCALL is tricky: the SYSCALL handler is entered with every
single register (except FLAGS), including RSP, live. It somehow needs
to set RSP to point to a valid stack, which means it needs to save the
user RSP somewhere and find its own stack pointer. The canonical way
to do this is with SWAPGS, which lets us access percpu data using the
%gs prefix.
With PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION-like pagetable switching, this is
problematic. Without a scratch register, switching CR3 is impossible, so
%gs-based percpu memory would need to be mapped in the user pagetables.
Doing that without information leaks is difficult or impossible.
Instead, use a different sneaky trick. Map a copy of the first part
of the SYSCALL asm at a different address for each CPU. Now RIP
varies depending on the CPU, so we can use RIP-relative memory access
to access percpu memory. By putting the relevant information (one
scratch slot and the stack address) at a constant offset relative to
RIP, we can make SYSCALL work without relying on %gs.
A nice thing about this approach is that we can easily switch it on
and off if we want pagetable switching to be configurable.
The compat variant of SYSCALL doesn't have this problem in the first
place -- there are plenty of scratch registers, since we don't care
about preserving r8-r15. This patch therefore doesn't touch SYSCALL32
at all.
This patch actually seems to be a small speedup. With this patch,
SYSCALL touches an extra cache line and an extra virtual page, but
the pipeline no longer stalls waiting for SWAPGS. It seems that, at
least in a tight loop, the latter outweights the former.
Thanks to David Laight for an optimization tip.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Add the new ORC unwinder which is enabled by CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y.
It plugs into the existing x86 unwinder framework.
It relies on objtool to generate the needed .orc_unwind and
.orc_unwind_ip sections.
For more details on why ORC is used instead of DWARF, see
Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt - but the short version is
that it's a simplified, fundamentally more robust debugninfo
data structure, which also allows up to two orders of magnitude
faster lookups than the DWARF unwinder - which matters to
profiling workloads like perf.
Thanks to Andy Lutomirski for the performance improvement ideas:
splitting the ORC unwind table into two parallel arrays and creating a
fast lookup table to search a subset of the unwind table.

The '__unreachable' and '__func_stack_frame_non_standard' sections are
only used at compile time. They're discarded for vmlinux but they
should also be discarded for modules.
Since this is a recurring pattern, prefix the section names with
".discard.". It's a nice convention and vmlinux.lds.h already discards
such sections.
Also remove the 'a' (allocatable) flag from the __unreachable section
since it doesn't make sense for a discarded section.

The BUG() macro's use of __builtin_unreachable() via the unreachable()
macro tells gcc that the instruction is a dead end, and that it's safe
to assume the current code path will not execute past the previous
instruction.
On x86, the BUG() macro is implemented with the 'ud2' instruction. When
objtool's branch analysis sees that instruction, it knows the current
code path has come to a dead end.
Peter Zijlstra has been working on a patch to change the WARN macros to
use 'ud2'. That patch will break objtool's assumption that 'ud2' is
always a dead end.
Generally it's best for objtool to avoid making those kinds of
assumptions anyway. The more ignorant it is of kernel code internals,
the better.
So create a more generic way for objtool to detect dead ends by adding
an annotation to the unreachable() macro. The annotation stores a
pointer to the end of the unreachable code path in an '__unreachable'
section. Objtool can read that section to find the dead ends.

When core_kernel_text() is used to determine whether an address on a
task's stack trace is a kernel text address, it incorrectly returns
false for early text addresses for the head code between the _text and
_stext markers. Among other things, this can cause the unwinder to
behave incorrectly when unwinding to x86 head code.
Head code is text code too, so mark it as such. This seems to match the
intent of other users of the _stext symbol, and it also seems consistent
with what other architectures are already doing.

When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative. Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".
We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.
This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.

This change makes later calculations about where the kernel is located
easier to reason about. To better understand this change, we must first
clarify what 'VO' and 'ZO' are. These values were introduced in commits
by hpa:
77d1a49995 ("x86, boot: make symbols from the main vmlinux available")
37ba7ab5e3 ("x86, boot: make kernel_alignment adjustable; new bzImage fields")
Specifically:
All names prefixed with 'VO_':
- relate to the uncompressed kernel image
- the size of the VO image is: VO__end-VO__text ("VO_INIT_SIZE" define)
All names prefixed with 'ZO_':
- relate to the bootable compressed kernel image (boot/compressed/vmlinux),
which is composed of the following memory areas:
- head text
- compressed kernel (VO image and relocs table)
- decompressor code
- the size of the ZO image is: ZO__end - ZO_startup_32 ("ZO_INIT_SIZE" define, though see below)
The 'INIT_SIZE' value is used to find the larger of the two image sizes:
#define ZO_INIT_SIZE (ZO__end - ZO_startup_32 + ZO_z_extract_offset)
#define VO_INIT_SIZE (VO__end - VO__text)
#if ZO_INIT_SIZE > VO_INIT_SIZE
# define INIT_SIZE ZO_INIT_SIZE
#else
# define INIT_SIZE VO_INIT_SIZE
#endif
The current code uses extract_offset to decide where to position the
copied ZO (i.e. ZO starts at extract_offset). (This is why ZO_INIT_SIZE
currently includes the extract_offset.)
Why does z_extract_offset exist? It's needed because we are trying to minimize
the amount of RAM used for the whole act of creating an uncompressed, executable,
properly relocation-linked kernel image in system memory. We do this so that
kernels can be booted on even very small systems.
To achieve the goal of minimal memory consumption we have implemented an in-place
decompression strategy: instead of cleanly separating the VO and ZO images and
also allocating some memory for the decompression code's runtime needs, we instead
create this elaborate layout of memory buffers where the output (decompressed)
stream, as it progresses, overlaps with and destroys the input (compressed)
stream. This can only be done safely if the ZO image is placed to the end of the
VO range, plus a certain amount of safety distance to make sure that when the last
bytes of the VO range are decompressed, the compressed stream pointer is safely
beyond the end of the VO range.
z_extract_offset is calculated in arch/x86/boot/compressed/mkpiggy.c during
the build process, at a point when we know the exact compressed and
uncompressed size of the kernel images and can calculate this safe minimum
offset value. (Note that the mkpiggy.c calculation is not perfect, because
we don't know the decompressor used at that stage, so the z_extract_offset
calculation is necessarily imprecise and is mostly based on gzip internals -
we'll improve that in the next patch.)
When INIT_SIZE is bigger than VO_INIT_SIZE (uncommon but possible),
the copied ZO occupies the memory from extract_offset to the end of
decompression buffer. It overlaps with the soon-to-be-uncompressed kernel
like this:
|-----compressed kernel image------|
V V
0 extract_offset +INIT_SIZE
|-----------|---------------|-------------------------|--------|
| | | |
VO__text startup_32 of ZO VO__end ZO__end
^ ^
|-------uncompressed kernel image---------|
When INIT_SIZE is equal to VO_INIT_SIZE (likely) there's still space
left from end of ZO to the end of decompressing buffer, like below.
|-compressed kernel image-|
V V
0 extract_offset +INIT_SIZE
|-----------|---------------|-------------------------|--------|
| | | |
VO__text startup_32 of ZO ZO__end VO__end
^ ^
|------------uncompressed kernel image-------------|
To simplify calculations and avoid special cases, it is cleaner to
always place the compressed kernel image in memory so that ZO__end
is at the end of the decompression buffer, instead of placing t at
the start of extract_offset as is currently done.
This patch adds BP_init_size (which is the INIT_SIZE as passed in from
the boot_params) into asm-offsets.c to make it visible to the assembly
code.
Then when moving the ZO, it calculates the starting position of
the copied ZO (via BP_init_size and the ZO run size) so that the VO__end
will be at the end of the decompression buffer. To make the position
calculation safe, the end of ZO is page aligned (and a comment is added
to the existing VO alignment for good measure).

KASAN needs to know whether the allocation happens in an IRQ handler.
This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the
number of unique stack traces needed to be stored.
Move the definition of __irq_entry to <linux/interrupt.h> so that the
users don't need to pull in <linux/ftrace.h>. Also introduce the
__softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the
corresponding functions to the .softirqentry.text section.

Pull EFI updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes are:
- Use separate EFI page tables when executing EFI firmware code.
This isolates the EFI context from the rest of the kernel, which
has security and general robustness advantages. (Matt Fleming)
- Run regular UEFI firmware with interrupts enabled. This is already
the status quo under other OSs. (Ard Biesheuvel)
- Various x86 EFI enhancements, such as the use of non-executable
attributes for EFI memory mappings. (Sai Praneeth Prakhya)
- Various arm64 UEFI enhancements. (Ard Biesheuvel)
- ... various fixes and cleanups.
The separate EFI page tables feature got delayed twice already,
because it's an intrusive change and we didn't feel confident about
it - third time's the charm we hope!"

Pull 'objtool' stack frame validation from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds a new kernel build-time object file validation feature
(ONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION=y): kernel stack frame correctness validation.
It was written by and is maintained by Josh Poimboeuf.
The motivation: there's a category of hard to find kernel bugs, most
of them in assembly code (but also occasionally in C code), that
degrades the quality of kernel stack dumps/backtraces. These bugs are
hard to detect at the source code level. Such bugs result in
incorrect/incomplete backtraces most of time - but can also in some
rare cases result in crashes or other undefined behavior.
The build time correctness checking is done via the new 'objtool'
user-space utility that was written for this purpose and which is
hosted in the kernel repository in tools/objtool/. The tool's (very
simple) UI and source code design is shaped after Git and perf and
shares quite a bit of infrastructure with tools/perf (which tooling
infrastructure sharing effort got merged via perf and is already
upstream). Objtool follows the well-known kernel coding style.
Objtool does not try to check .c or .S files, it instead analyzes the
resulting .o generated machine code from first principles: it decodes
the instruction stream and interprets it. (Right now objtool supports
the x86-64 architecture.)
From tools/objtool/Documentation/stack-validation.txt:
"The kernel CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION option enables a host tool named
objtool which runs at compile time. It has a "check" subcommand
which analyzes every .o file and ensures the validity of its stack
metadata. It enforces a set of rules on asm code and C inline
assembly code so that stack traces can be reliable.
Currently it only checks frame pointer usage, but there are plans to
add CFI validation for C files and CFI generation for asm files.
For each function, it recursively follows all possible code paths
and validates the correct frame pointer state at each instruction.
It also follows code paths involving special sections, like
.altinstructions, __jump_table, and __ex_table, which can add
alternative execution paths to a given instruction (or set of
instructions). Similarly, it knows how to follow switch statements,
for which gcc sometimes uses jump tables."
When this new kernel option is enabled (it's disabled by default), the
tool, if it finds any suspicious assembly code pattern, outputs
warnings in compiler warning format:
warning: objtool: rtlwifi_rate_mapping()+0x2e7: frame pointer state mismatch
warning: objtool: cik_tiling_mode_table_init()+0x6ce: call without frame pointer save/setup
warning: objtool:__schedule()+0x3c0: duplicate frame pointer save
warning: objtool:__schedule()+0x3fd: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer
... so that scripts that pick up compiler warnings will notice them.
All known warnings triggered by the tool are fixed by the tree, most
of the commits in fact prepare the kernel to be warning-free. Most of
them are bugfixes or cleanups that stand on their own, but there are
also some annotations of 'special' stack frames for justified cases
such entries to JIT-ed code (BPF) or really special boot time code.
There are two other long-term motivations behind this tool as well:
- To improve the quality and reliability of kernel stack frames, so
that they can be used for optimized live patching.
- To create independent infrastructure to check the correctness of
CFI stack frames at build time. CFI debuginfo is notoriously
unreliable and we cannot use it in the kernel as-is without extra
checking done both on the kernel side and on the build side.
The quality of kernel stack frames matters to debuggability as well,
so IMO we can merge this without having to consider the live patching
or CFI debuginfo angle"

Commit 2213e9a66b ("kallsyms: add support for relative offsets in
kallsyms address table") changed the default kallsyms symbol table
format to use relative references rather than absolute addresses.
This reduces the size of the kallsyms symbol table by 50% on 64-bit
architectures, and further reduces the size of the relocation tables
used by relocatable kernels. Since the memory footprint of the static
kernel image is always much smaller than 4 GB, these relative references
are assumed to be representable in 32 bits, even when the native word
size is 64 bits.
On 64-bit architectures, this obviously only works if the distance
between each relative reference and the chosen anchor point is
representable in 32 bits, and so the table generation code in
scripts/kallsyms.c scans the table for the lowest value that is covered
by the kernel text, and selects it as the anchor point.
However, when using the GOLD linker rather than the default BFD linker
to build the x86_64 kernel, the symbol phys_offset_64, which is the
result of arithmetic defined in the linker script, is emitted as a 'T'
rather than an 'A' type symbol, resulting in scripts/kallsyms.c to
mistake it for a suitable anchor point, even though it is far away from
the actual kernel image in the virtual address space. This results in
out-of-range warnings from scripts/kallsyms.c and a broken build.
So let's align with the BFD linker, and emit the phys_offset_[32|64]
symbols as absolute symbols explicitly. Note that the out of range
issue does not exist on 32-bit x86, but this patch changes both symbols
for symmetry.

Ingo noted that if we can guarantee _end is aligned to PAGE_SIZE
we can automatically avoid bugs along the lines of,
size = _end - _text >> PAGE_SHIFT
which is missing a call to PFN_ALIGN(). The EFI mixed mode
contains this bug, for example.
_text is already aligned to PAGE_SIZE through the use of
LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR, and the BSS and BRK sections are explicitly
aligned in the linker script, so it makes sense to align _end to
match.

There are two kexec load syscalls, kexec_load another and kexec_file_load.
kexec_file_load has been splited as kernel/kexec_file.c. In this patch I
split kexec_load syscall code to kernel/kexec.c.
And add a new kconfig option KEXEC_CORE, so we can disable kexec_load and
use kexec_file_load only, or vice verse.
The original requirement is from Ted Ts'o, he want kexec kernel signature
being checked with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG enabled. But kexec-tools use
kexec_load syscall can bypass the checking.
Vivek Goyal proposed to create a common kconfig option so user can compile
in only one syscall for loading kexec kernel. KEXEC/KEXEC_FILE selects
KEXEC_CORE so that old config files still work.
Because there's general code need CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, so I updated all the
architecture Kconfig with a new option KEXEC_CORE, and let KEXEC selects
KEXEC_CORE in arch Kconfig. Also updated general kernel code with to
kexec_load syscall.

Observing that per-CPU data (in the SMP case) is reachable by
exploiting 64-bit address wraparound (building on the default kernel
load address being at 16Mb), the one byte shorter RIP-relative
addressing form can be used for most per-CPU accesses. The one
exception are the "stable" reads, where the use of the "P" operand
modifier prevents the compiler from using RIP-relative addressing, but
is unavoidable due to the use of the "p" constraint (side note: with
gcc 4.9.x the intended effect of this isn't being achieved anymore,
see gcc bug 63637).
With the dependency on the minimum kernel load address, arbitrarily
low values for CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START are now no longer possible. A
link time assertion is being added, directing to the need to increase
that value when it triggers.

By coincidence, the VVAR page is at the end of an ELF segment. As a
result, if it ends up being a partial page, the kernel loader will
leave garbage behind at the end of the vvar page. Zero-pad it to a
full page to fix this issue.
This has probably been broken since the VVAR page was introduced.
On QEMU, if you dump the run-time contents of the VVAR page, you can
find entertaining strings from seabios left behind.
It's remotely possible that this is a security bug -- conceivably
there's some BIOS out there that leaves something sensitive in the
few K of memory that is exposed to userspace.

There are three choices:
vsyscall=native: Vsyscalls are native code that issues the
corresponding syscalls.
vsyscall=emulate (default): Vsyscalls are emulated by instruction
fault traps, tested in the bad_area path. The actual contents of
the vsyscall page is the same as the vsyscall=native case except
that it's marked NX. This way programs that make assumptions about
what the code in the page does will not be confused when they read
that code.
vsyscall=none: Trying to execute a vsyscall will segfault.
