Commit 09c60546f0 ("./Makefile: add debug option to enable
function aligned on 32 bytes") was introduced to help debugging
strange kernel performance changes caused by code alignment
change.
Recently we found 2 similar cases [1][2] caused by code-alignment
changes, which can only be identified by forcing 64 bytes aligned
for all functions.
Originally, 32 bytes was used mainly for not wasting too much
text space, but this option is only for debug anyway where text
space is not a big concern. So extend the alignment to 64 bytes
to cover more similar cases.

This reverts the old commit [1], which seems questionable to me.
It claimed 'make distclean' could not remove editor backup files,
but I believe KBUILD_OUTPUT or O= was set.
When O= is given, Kbuild should always work against $(objtree).
If O= is not given, $(objtree) and $(srctree) are the same, therefore
$(srctree) is cleaned up.

clang currently has its implementation for this warning in review so
preemptively move this statement out of the GCC only block and wrap it
with cc-disable-warning so that both compilers function the same.

We maintain .gitignore and Makefiles so build artifacts are properly
ignored by Git, and cleaned up by 'make clean'. However, the code is
always changing; generated files are often moved to another directory,
or removed when they become unnecessary. Such garbage files tend to be
left over in the source tree because people usually git-pull without
cleaning the tree.
This is not only the noise for 'git status', but also a build issue
in some cases.
One solution is to remove a stale file like commit 223c24a7db ("kbuild:
Automatically remove stale <linux/version.h> file") did. Such workaround
should be removed after a while, but we forget about that if we scatter
the workaround code in random places.
So, this commit adds a new script to collect cleanings of stale files.
As a start point, move the code in arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile
into this script.

Pull CFI on arm64 support from Kees Cook:
"This builds on last cycle's LTO work, and allows the arm64 kernels to
be built with Clang's Control Flow Integrity feature. This feature has
happily lived in Android kernels for almost 3 years[1], so I'm excited
to have it ready for upstream.
The wide diffstat is mainly due to the treewide fixing of mismatched
list_sort prototypes. Other things in core kernel are to address
various CFI corner cases. The largest code portion is the CFI runtime
implementation itself (which will be shared by all architectures
implementing support for CFI). The arm64 pieces are Acked by arm64
maintainers rather than coming through the arm64 tree since carrying
this tree over there was going to be awkward.
CFI support for x86 is still under development, but is pretty close.
There are a handful of corner cases on x86 that need some improvements
to Clang and objtool, but otherwise works well.
Summary:
- Clean up list_sort prototypes (Sami Tolvanen)

Provide support for randomized stack offsets per syscall to make
stack-based attacks harder which rely on the deterministic stack layout.
The feature is based on the original idea of PaX's RANDSTACK feature, but
uses a significantly different implementation.
The offset does not affect the pt_regs location on the task stack as this
was agreed on to be of dubious value. The offset is applied before the
actual syscall is invoked.
The offset is stored per cpu and the randomization happens at the end of
the syscall which is less predictable than on syscall entry.
The mechanism to apply the offset is via alloca(), i.e. abusing the
dispised VLAs. This comes with the drawback that stack-clash-protection
has to be disabled for the affected compilation units and there is also
a negative interaction with stack-protector.
Those downsides are traded with the advantage that this approach does not
require any intrusive changes to the low level assembly entry code, does
not affect the unwinder and the correct stack alignment is handled
automatically by the compiler.
The feature is guarded with a static branch which avoids the overhead when
disabled.
Currently this is supported for X86 and ARM64.

stack-based attacks harder which rely on the deterministic stack
layout.
The feature is based on the original idea of PaX's RANDSTACK feature,
but uses a significantly different implementation.
The offset does not affect the pt_regs location on the task stack as
this was agreed on to be of dubious value. The offset is applied
before the actual syscall is invoked.
The offset is stored per cpu and the randomization happens at the end
of the syscall which is less predictable than on syscall entry.
The mechanism to apply the offset is via alloca(), i.e. abusing the
dispised VLAs. This comes with the drawback that
stack-clash-protection has to be disabled for the affected compilation
units and there is also a negative interaction with stack-protector.
Those downsides are traded with the advantage that this approach does
not require any intrusive changes to the low level assembly entry
code, does not affect the unwinder and the correct stack alignment is
handled automatically by the compiler.
The feature is guarded with a static branch which avoids the overhead
when disabled.
Currently this is supported for X86 and ARM64"

Normally, invocations of $(HOSTCC) include $(KBUILD_HOSTLDFLAGS), which
in turn includes $(HOSTLDFLAGS), which allows users to pass in their own
flags when linking. However, the 'has_libelf' test does not, meaning
that if a user requests a specific linker via HOSTLDFLAGS=-fuse-ld=...,
it is not respected and the build might error.
For example, if a user building with clang wants to use all of the LLVM
tools without any GNU tools, they might remove all of the GNU tools from
their system or PATH then build with
$ make HOSTLDFLAGS=-fuse-ld=lld LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1
which says use all of the LLVM tools, the integrated assembler, and
ld.lld for linking host executables. Without this change, the build will
error because $(HOSTCC) uses its default linker, rather than the one
requested via -fuse-ld=..., which is GNU ld in clang's case in a default
configuration.

scripts/Makefile.modsign is a subset of scripts/Makefile.modinst,
and duplicates the code. Let's merge them.
By the way, you do not need to run 'make modules_sign' explicitly
because modules are signed as a part of 'make modules_install' when
CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_ALL=y. If CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_ALL=n, mod_sign_cmd is
set to 'true', so 'make modules_sign' is not functional.
In my understanding, the reason of still keeping this is to handle
corner cases like commit 64178cb62c ("builddeb: fix stripped module

The external module build shows the following warning if Module.symvers
is missing in the kernel tree.
WARNING: Symbol version dump "Module.symvers" is missing.
Modules may not have dependencies or modversions.
I think this is an important heads-up because the resulting modules may
not work as expected. This happens when you did not build the entire
kernel tree, for example, you might have prepared the minimal setups
for external modules by 'make defconfig && make modules_preapre'.
A problem is that 'make modules' creates Module.symvers even without
vmlinux. In this case, that warning is suppressed since Module.symvers
already exists in spite of its incomplete content.
The incomplete (i.e. invalid) Module.symvers should not be created.
This commit changes the second pass of modpost to dump symbols into
modules-only.symvers. The final Module.symvers is created by
concatenating vmlinux.symvers and modules-only.symvers if both exist.
Module.symvers is supposed to collect symbols from both vmlinux and
modules. It might be a bit confusing, and I am not quite sure if it
is an official interface, but presumably it is difficult to rename it
because some tools (e.g. kmod) parse it.

Documentation/process/changes.rst defines the minimum assembler version
(binutils version), but we have never checked it in the build time.
Kbuild never invokes 'as' directly because all assembly files in the
kernel tree are *.S, hence must be preprocessed. I do not expect
raw assembly source files (*.s) would be added to the kernel tree.
Therefore, we always use $(CC) as the assembler driver, and commit
aa824e0c96 ("kbuild: remove AS variable") removed 'AS'. However,
we are still interested in the version of the assembler acting behind.
As usual, the --version option prints the version string.
$ as --version | head -n 1
GNU assembler (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.35.1
But, we do not have $(AS). So, we can add the -Wa prefix so that
$(CC) passes --version down to the backing assembler.
$ gcc -Wa,--version | head -n 1
gcc: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.
OK, we need to input something to satisfy gcc.
$ gcc -Wa,--version -c -x assembler /dev/null -o /dev/null | head -n 1
GNU assembler (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.35.1
The combination of Clang and GNU assembler works in the same way:
$ clang -no-integrated-as -Wa,--version -c -x assembler /dev/null -o /dev/null | head -n 1
GNU assembler (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.35.1
Clang with the integrated assembler fails like this:
$ clang -integrated-as -Wa,--version -c -x assembler /dev/null -o /dev/null | head -n 1
clang: error: unsupported argument '--version' to option 'Wa,'
For the last case, checking the error message is fragile. If the
proposal for -Wa,--version support [1] is accepted, this may not be
even an error in the future.
One easy way is to check if -integrated-as is present in the passed
arguments. We did not pass -integrated-as to CLANG_FLAGS before, but
we can make it explicit.
Nathan pointed out -integrated-as is the default for all of the
architectures/targets that the kernel cares about, but it goes
along with "explicit is better than implicit" policy. [2]
With all this in my mind, I implemented scripts/as-version.sh to
check the assembler version in Kconfig time.
$ scripts/as-version.sh gcc

$ scripts/as-version.sh clang -no-integrated-as

When building with LLVM_IAS=1, there is no point to specifying
'--prefix=' because that flag is only used to find GNU cross tools,
which will not be used indirectly when using the integrated assembler.
All of the tools are invoked directly from PATH or a full path specified
via the command line, which does not depend on the value of '--prefix='.
Sharing commands to reproduce issues becomes a little bit easier without
a '--prefix=' value because that '--prefix=' value is specific to a
user's machine due to it being an absolute path.
Some further notes from Fangrui Song:
clang can spawn GNU as (if -f?no-integrated-as is specified) and GNU
objcopy (-f?no-integrated-as and -gsplit-dwarf and -g[123]).
objcopy is only used for GNU as assembled object files.
With integrated assembler, the object file streamer creates .o and
.dwo simultaneously.
With GNU as, two objcopy commands are needed to extract .debug*.dwo to
.dwo files && another command to remove .debug*.dwo sections.
A small consequence of this change (to keep things simple) is that
'--prefix=' will always be specified now, even with a native build, when
it was not before. This should not be an issue due to the way that the
Makefile searches for the prefix (based on elfedit's location). This
ends up improving the experience for host builds because PATH is better
respected and matches GCC's behavior more closely. See the below thread
for more details:

This flag was originally added to allow clang to find the GNU cross
tools in commit 785f11aa59 ("kbuild: Add better clang cross build

'--prefix' was added to the list in commit ef8c4ed9db ("kbuild: allow
to use GCC toolchain not in Clang search path") and improved upon in
commit ca9b31f6bb ("Makefile: Fix GCC_TOOLCHAIN_DIR prefix for Clang
cross compilation"). Now that '--prefix' specifies a full path and
prefix, '--gcc-toolchain' serves no purpose because the kernel builds
with '-nostdinc' and '-nostdlib'.
This has been verified with self compiled LLVM 10.0.1 and LLVM 13.0.0 as
well as a distribution version of LLVM 11.1.0 without binutils in the
LLVM toolchain locations.

The patch adding CONFIG_VMLINUX_MAP revealed a small defect in the
build system: link-vmlinux.sh takes decisions based on CONFIG_*
options, but changing one of those does not always lead to vmlinux
being linked again.
For most of the CONFIG_* knobs referenced previously, this has
probably been hidden by those knobs also affecting some object file,
hence indirectly also vmlinux.
But CONFIG_VMLINUX_MAP is only handled inside link-vmlinux.sh, and
changing CONFIG_VMLINUX_MAP=n to CONFIG_VMLINUX_MAP=y does not cause
the build system to re-link (and hence have vmlinux.map
emitted). Since that map file is mostly a debugging aid, this is
merely a nuisance which is easily worked around by just deleting
vmlinux and building again.
But one could imagine other (possibly future) CONFIG options that
actually do affect the vmlinux binary but which are not captured
through some object file dependency.
To fix this, make link-vmlinux.sh emit a .vmlinux.d file in the same
format as the dependency files generated by gcc, and apply the fixdep
logic to that. I've tested that this correctly works with both in-tree
and out-of-tree builds.

This change adds support for Clang’s forward-edge Control Flow
Integrity (CFI) checking. With CONFIG_CFI_CLANG, the compiler
injects a runtime check before each indirect function call to ensure
the target is a valid function with the correct static type. This
restricts possible call targets and makes it more difficult for
an attacker to exploit bugs that allow the modification of stored
function pointers. For more details, see:
https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ControlFlowIntegrity.html
Clang requires CONFIG_LTO_CLANG to be enabled with CFI to gain
visibility to possible call targets. Kernel modules are supported
with Clang’s cross-DSO CFI mode, which allows checking between
independently compiled components.
With CFI enabled, the compiler injects a __cfi_check() function into
the kernel and each module for validating local call targets. For
cross-module calls that cannot be validated locally, the compiler
calls the global __cfi_slowpath_diag() function, which determines
the target module and calls the correct __cfi_check() function. This
patch includes a slowpath implementation that uses __module_address()
to resolve call targets, and with CONFIG_CFI_CLANG_SHADOW enabled, a
shadow map that speeds up module look-ups by ~3x.
Clang implements indirect call checking using jump tables and
offers two methods of generating them. With canonical jump tables,
the compiler renames each address-taken function to <function>.cfi
and points the original symbol to a jump table entry, which passes
__cfi_check() validation. This isn’t compatible with stand-alone
assembly code, which the compiler doesn’t instrument, and would
result in indirect calls to assembly code to fail. Therefore, we
default to using non-canonical jump tables instead, where the compiler
generates a local jump table entry <function>.cfi_jt for each
address-taken function, and replaces all references to the function
with the address of the jump table entry.
Note that because non-canonical jump table addresses are local
to each component, they break cross-module function address
equality. Specifically, the address of a global function will be
different in each module, as it's replaced with the address of a local
jump table entry. If this address is passed to a different module,
it won’t match the address of the same function taken there. This
may break code that relies on comparing addresses passed from other
components.
CFI checking can be disabled in a function with the __nocfi attribute.
Additionally, CFI can be disabled for an entire compilation unit by
filtering out CC_FLAGS_CFI.
By default, CFI failures result in a kernel panic to stop a potential
exploit. CONFIG_CFI_PERMISSIVE enables a permissive mode, where the
kernel prints out a rate-limited warning instead, and allows execution
to continue. This option is helpful for locating type mismatches, but
should only be enabled during development.

This provides the ability for architectures to enable kernel stack base
address offset randomization. This feature is controlled by the boot
param "randomize_kstack_offset=on/off", with its default value set by
CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_KSTACK_OFFSET_DEFAULT.
This feature is based on the original idea from the last public release
of PaX's RANDKSTACK feature: https://pax.grsecurity.net/docs/randkstack.txt
All the credit for the original idea goes to the PaX team. Note that
the design and implementation of this upstream randomize_kstack_offset
feature differs greatly from the RANDKSTACK feature (see below).
Reasoning for the feature:
This feature aims to make harder the various stack-based attacks that
rely on deterministic stack structure. We have had many such attacks in
past (just to name few):
https://jon.oberheide.org/files/infiltrate12-thestackisback.pdfhttps://jon.oberheide.org/files/stackjacking-infiltrate11.pdfhttps://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2016/06/exploiting-recursion-in-linux-kernel_20.html
As Linux kernel stack protections have been constantly improving
(vmap-based stack allocation with guard pages, removal of thread_info,
STACKLEAK), attackers have had to find new ways for their exploits
to work. They have done so, continuing to rely on the kernel's stack
determinism, in situations where VMAP_STACK and THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK_STRUCT
were not relevant. For example, the following recent attacks would have
been hampered if the stack offset was non-deterministic between syscalls:
https://repositorio-aberto.up.pt/bitstream/10216/125357/2/374717.pdf
(page 70: targeting the pt_regs copy with linear stack overflow)
https://a13xp0p0v.github.io/2020/02/15/CVE-2019-18683.html
(leaked stack address from one syscall as a target during next syscall)
The main idea is that since the stack offset is randomized on each system
call, it is harder for an attack to reliably land in any particular place
on the thread stack, even with address exposures, as the stack base will
change on the next syscall. Also, since randomization is performed after
placing pt_regs, the ptrace-based approach[1] to discover the randomized
offset during a long-running syscall should not be possible.
Design description:
During most of the kernel's execution, it runs on the "thread stack",
which is pretty deterministic in its structure: it is fixed in size,
and on every entry from userspace to kernel on a syscall the thread
stack starts construction from an address fetched from the per-cpu
cpu_current_top_of_stack variable. The first element to be pushed to the
thread stack is the pt_regs struct that stores all required CPU registers
and syscall parameters. Finally the specific syscall function is called,
with the stack being used as the kernel executes the resulting request.
The goal of randomize_kstack_offset feature is to add a random offset
after the pt_regs has been pushed to the stack and before the rest of the
thread stack is used during the syscall processing, and to change it every
time a process issues a syscall. The source of randomness is currently
architecture-defined (but x86 is using the low byte of rdtsc()). Future
improvements for different entropy sources is possible, but out of scope
for this patch. Further more, to add more unpredictability, new offsets
are chosen at the end of syscalls (the timing of which should be less
easy to measure from userspace than at syscall entry time), and stored
in a per-CPU variable, so that the life of the value does not stay
explicitly tied to a single task.
As suggested by Andy Lutomirski, the offset is added using alloca()
and an empty asm() statement with an output constraint, since it avoids
changes to assembly syscall entry code, to the unwinder, and provides
correct stack alignment as defined by the compiler.
In order to make this available by default with zero performance impact
for those that don't want it, it is boot-time selectable with static
branches. This way, if the overhead is not wanted, it can just be
left turned off with no performance impact.
The generated assembly for x86_64 with GCC looks like this:
...
ffffffff81003977: 65 8b 05 02 ea 00 7f mov %gs:0x7f00ea02(%rip),%eax
# 12380 <kstack_offset>
ffffffff8100397e: 25 ff 03 00 00 and $0x3ff,%eax
ffffffff81003983: 48 83 c0 0f add $0xf,%rax
ffffffff81003987: 25 f8 07 00 00 and $0x7f8,%eax
ffffffff8100398c: 48 29 c4 sub %rax,%rsp
ffffffff8100398f: 48 8d 44 24 0f lea 0xf(%rsp),%rax
ffffffff81003994: 48 83 e0 f0 and $0xfffffffffffffff0,%rax
...
As a result of the above stack alignment, this patch introduces about
5 bits of randomness after pt_regs is spilled to the thread stack on
x86_64, and 6 bits on x86_32 (since its has 1 fewer bit required for
stack alignment). The amount of entropy could be adjusted based on how
much of the stack space we wish to trade for security.
My measure of syscall performance overhead (on x86_64):
lmbench: /usr/lib/lmbench/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu/lat_syscall -N 10000 null
randomize_kstack_offset=y Simple syscall: 0.7082 microseconds
randomize_kstack_offset=n Simple syscall: 0.7016 microseconds
So, roughly 0.9% overhead growth for a no-op syscall, which is very
manageable. And for people that don't want this, it's off by default.
There are two gotchas with using the alloca() trick. First,
compilers that have Stack Clash protection (-fstack-clash-protection)
enabled by default (e.g. Ubuntu[3]) add pagesize stack probes to
any dynamic stack allocations. While the randomization offset is
always less than a page, the resulting assembly would still contain
(unreachable!) probing routines, bloating the resulting assembly. To
avoid this, -fno-stack-clash-protection is unconditionally added to
the kernel Makefile since this is the only dynamic stack allocation in
the kernel (now that VLAs have been removed) and it is provably safe
from Stack Clash style attacks.
The second gotcha with alloca() is a negative interaction with
-fstack-protector*, in that it sees the alloca() as an array allocation,
which triggers the unconditional addition of the stack canary function
pre/post-amble which slows down syscalls regardless of the static
branch. In order to avoid adding this unneeded check and its associated
performance impact, architectures need to carefully remove uses of
-fstack-protector-strong (or -fstack-protector) in the compilation units
that use the add_random_kstack() macro and to audit the resulting stack
mitigation coverage (to make sure no desired coverage disappears). No
change is visible for this on x86 because the stack protector is already
unconditionally disabled for the compilation unit, but the change is
required on arm64. There is, unfortunately, no attribute that can be
used to disable stack protector for specific functions.
Comparison to PaX RANDKSTACK feature:
The RANDKSTACK feature randomizes the location of the stack start
(cpu_current_top_of_stack), i.e. including the location of pt_regs
structure itself on the stack. Initially this patch followed the same
approach, but during the recent discussions[2], it has been determined
to be of a little value since, if ptrace functionality is available for
an attacker, they can use PTRACE_PEEKUSR/PTRACE_POKEUSR to read/write
different offsets in the pt_regs struct, observe the cache behavior of
the pt_regs accesses, and figure out the random stack offset. Another
difference is that the random offset is stored in a per-cpu variable,
rather than having it be per-thread. As a result, these implementations
differ a fair bit in their implementation details and results, though
obviously the intent is similar.

VPATH is used in Kbuild to make pattern rules search for prerequisites

In contrast, I doubt the benefit of --include-dir=$(abs_srctree) because

So, my hope is to add $(srctree)/ prefix to all check-in Makefiles,
then remove --include-dir=$(abs_srctree) flag in the future.

This seems to be a long-standing flaw since the initial support of
GCC plugins.
Extend commit 8b59cd81dc ("kbuild: ensure full rebuild when the
compiler is updated"), so that GCC plugins are covered by the
compiler upgrade detection.

'make image_name' needs include/config/auto.conf to show the correct
output because KBUILD_IMAGE depends on CONFIG options, but should not
attempt to resync the configuration.
