Add a few signature bytes after the static call trampoline and verify
those bytes match before patching the trampoline. This avoids patching
random other JMPs (such as CFI jump-table entries) instead.
These bytes decode as:
d: 53 push %rbx
e: 43 54 rex.XB push %r12
And happen to spell "SCT".

Normally objtool will now follow indirect calls; there is no need.
However, this becomes a problem with noinstr validation; if there's an
indirect call from noinstr code, we very much need to know it is to
another noinstr function. Luckily there aren't many indirect calls in
entry code with the obvious exception of paravirt. As such, noinstr
validation didn't work with paravirt kernels.
In order to track pv_ops[] call targets, objtool reads the static
pv_ops[] tables as well as direct assignments to the pv_ops[] array,
provided the compiler makes them a single instruction like:
bf87: 48 c7 05 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 movq $0x0,0x0(%rip)
bf92 <xen_init_spinlocks+0x5f>
bf8a: R_X86_64_PC32 pv_ops+0x268
There are, as of yet, no warnings for when this goes wrong :/
Using the functions found with the above means, all pv_ops[] calls are
now subject to noinstr validation.

Andi reported that objtool on vmlinux.o consumes more memory than his
system has, leading to horrific performance.
This is in part because we keep a struct instruction for every
instruction in the file in-memory. Shrink struct instruction by
removing the CFI state (which includes full register state) from it
and demand allocating it.
Given most instructions don't actually change CFI state, there's lots
of repetition there, so add a hash table to find previous CFI
instances.

The asm_cpu_bringup_and_idle() function is required to push the return
value on the stack in order to make ORC happy, but the only reason
objtool doesn't complain is because of a happy accident.
The thing is that asm_cpu_bringup_and_idle() doesn't return, so
validate_branch() never terminates and falls through to the next
function, which in the normal case is the hypercall_page. And that, as
it happens, is 4095 NOPs and a RET.
Make asm_cpu_bringup_and_idle() terminate on it's own, by making the
function it calls as a dead-end. This way we no longer rely on what
code happens to come after.

Objtool detection of asm jump tables would normally just work, except
for the fact that asm retpolines use alternatives. Objtool thinks the
alternative code path (a jump to the retpoline) is a sibling call.
Don't treat alternative indirect branches as sibling calls when the
original instruction has a jump table.

Due to:
c9c324dc22 ("objtool: Support stack layout changes in alternatives")
it is now possible to simplify the retpolines.
Currently our retpolines consist of 2 symbols:
- __x86_indirect_thunk_\reg: the compiler target
- __x86_retpoline_\reg: the actual retpoline.
Both are consecutive in code and aligned such that for any one register
they both live in the same cacheline:
0000000000000000 <__x86_indirect_thunk_rax>:
0: ff e0 jmpq *%rax
2: 90 nop
3: 90 nop
4: 90 nop
0000000000000005 <__x86_retpoline_rax>:
5: e8 07 00 00 00 callq 11 <__x86_retpoline_rax+0xc>
a: f3 90 pause
c: 0f ae e8 lfence
f: eb f9 jmp a <__x86_retpoline_rax+0x5>
11: 48 89 04 24 mov %rax,(%rsp)
15: c3 retq
16: 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 nopw %cs:0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
The thunk is an alternative_2, where one option is a JMP to the
retpoline. This was done so that objtool didn't need to deal with
alternatives with stack ops. But that problem has been solved, so now
it is possible to fold the entire retpoline into the alternative to
simplify and consolidate unused bytes:
0000000000000000 <__x86_indirect_thunk_rax>:
0: ff e0 jmpq *%rax
2: 90 nop
3: 90 nop
4: 90 nop
5: 90 nop
6: 90 nop
7: 90 nop
8: 90 nop
9: 90 nop
a: 90 nop
b: 90 nop
c: 90 nop
d: 90 nop
e: 90 nop
f: 90 nop
10: 90 nop
11: 66 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 data16 nopw %cs:0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
1c: 0f 1f 40 00 nopl 0x0(%rax)
Notice that since the longest alternative sequence is now:
0: e8 07 00 00 00 callq c <.altinstr_replacement+0xc>
5: f3 90 pause
7: 0f ae e8 lfence
a: eb f9 jmp 5 <.altinstr_replacement+0x5>
c: 48 89 04 24 mov %rax,(%rsp)
10: c3 retq
17 bytes, we have 15 bytes NOP at the end of our 32 byte slot. (IOW, if
we can shrink the retpoline by 1 byte we can pack it more densely).

Does unspeakable things to the stack, which objtool currently fails to
detect due to a limitation in instruction decoding. This will be
rectified after which the above will result in:
arch/x86/entry/entry_64.o: warning: objtool: .text+0xab: unsupported stack register modification
Allow the UNWIND_HINT on the next instruction to suppress this, it
will overwrite the state anyway.

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.
- 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
Rearrange the checks: check for a retpoline jump before checking for an
intra-object jump.

This is basically a revert of commit 644592d328 ("objtool: Fail the
kernel build on fatal errors").
That change turned out to be more trouble than it's worth. Failing the
build is an extreme measure which sometimes gets too much attention and
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.

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
0x02 NOP
...
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.
