Currently, there is no standard implementation for vdso_install,
leading to various issues:
1. Code duplication
Many architectures duplicate similar code just for copying files
to the install destination.
Some architectures (arm, sparc, x86) create build-id symlinks,
introducing more code duplication.
2. Unintended updates of in-tree build artifacts
The vdso_install rule depends on the vdso files to install.
It may update in-tree build artifacts. This can be problematic,
as explained in commit 19514fc665 ("arm, kbuild: make
"make install" not depend on vmlinux").
3. Broken code in some architectures
Makefile code is often copied from one architecture to another
without proper adaptation.
'make vdso_install' for parisc does not work.
'make vdso_install' for s390 installs vdso64, but not vdso32.
To address these problems, this commit introduces a generic vdso_install
rule.
Architectures that support vdso_install need to define vdso-install-y
in arch/*/Makefile. vdso-install-y lists the files to install.
For example, arch/x86/Makefile looks like this:
vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_64) += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso64.so.dbg
vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI) += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdsox32.so.dbg
vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_32) += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg
vdso-install-$(CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION) += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg
These files will be installed to $(MODLIB)/vdso/ with the .dbg suffix,
if exists, stripped away.
vdso-install-y can optionally take the second field after the colon
separator. This is needed because some architectures install a vdso
file as a different base name.
The following is a snippet from arch/arm64/Makefile.
vdso-install-$(CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO) += arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/vdso.so.dbg:vdso32.so
This will rename vdso.so.dbg to vdso32.so during installation. If such
architectures change their implementation so that the base names match,
this workaround will go away.

1/8 of kernel addresses reserved for shadow memory. But for LoongArch,
There are a lot of holes between different segments and valid address
space (256T available) is insufficient to map all these segments to kasan
shadow memory with the common formula provided by kasan core, saying
(addr >> KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT) + KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET
So LoongArch has a arch-specific mapping formula, different segments are
mapped individually, and only limited space lengths of these specific
segments are mapped to shadow.
At early boot stage the whole shadow region populated with just one
physical page (kasan_early_shadow_page). Later, this page is reused as
readonly zero shadow for some memory that kasan currently don't track.
After mapping the physical memory, pages for shadow memory are allocated
and mapped.
Functions like memset()/memcpy()/memmove() do a lot of memory accesses.
If bad pointer passed to one of these function it is important to be
caught. Compiler's instrumentation cannot do this since these functions
are written in assembly.
KASan replaces memory functions with manually instrumented variants.
Original functions declared as weak symbols so strong definitions in
mm/kasan/kasan.c could replace them. Original functions have aliases
with '__' prefix in names, so we could call non-instrumented variant
if needed.

As explained by Nick in the original issue: the kernel usually does a
good job of providing library helpers that have similar semantics as
their ordinary userspace libc equivalents, but -ffreestanding disables
such libcall optimization and other related features in the compiler,
which can lead to unexpected things such as CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE not
working (!).
However, due to the desire for better control over unaligned accesses
with respect to CONFIG_ARCH_STRICT_ALIGN, and also for avoiding the
GCC bug https://gcc.gnu.org/PR109465, we do want to still disable
optimizations for the memory libcalls (memcpy, memmove and memset for
now). Use finer-grained -fno-builtin-* toggles to achieve this without
losing source fortification and other libcall optimizations.

As an alternative, we could add linker relaxation support in the kernel

This is a port of commit 4fe4a6374c ("MIPS: Only fiddle with
CHECKFLAGS if `need-compiler'") to LoongArch.
We have originally guarded fiddling with CHECKFLAGS in our arch Makefile
by checking for the CONFIG_LOONGARCH variable, not set for targets such
as `distclean', etc. that neither include `.config' nor use the compiler.
Starting from commit 805b2e1d42 ("kbuild: include Makefile.compiler
only when compiler is needed") we have had a generic `need-compiler'
variable explicitly telling us if the compiler will be used and thus its
capabilities need to be checked and expressed in the form of compilation
flags. If this variable is not set, then `make' functions such as
`cc-option' are undefined, causing all kinds of weirdness to happen if
we expect specific results to be returned.
It doesn't cause problems on LoongArch now. But as a guard we replace
the check for CONFIG_LOONGARCH with one for `need-compiler' instead, so
as to prevent the compiler from being ever called for CHECKFLAGS when
not needed.

Now the arch code is mostly ready for LLVM/Clang consumption, it is time
to re-organize the CFLAGS a little to actually enable the LLVM build.
Namely, all -G0 switches from CFLAGS are removed, and -mexplicit-relocs
and -mdirect-extern-access are now wrapped with cc-option (with the
related asm/percpu.h definition guarded against toolchain combos that
are known to not work).
A build with !RELOCATABLE && !MODULE is confirmed working within a QEMU
environment; support for the two features are currently blocked on
LLVM/Clang, and will come later.
Why -G0 can be removed:
In GCC, -G stands for "small data threshold", that instructs the
compiler to put data smaller than the specified threshold in a dedicated
"small data" section (called .sdata on LoongArch and several other
arches).
However, benefiting from this would require ABI cooperation, which is
not the case for LoongArch; and current GCC behave the same whether -G0
(equal to disabling this optimization) is given or not. So, remove -G0
from CFLAGS altogether for one less thing to care about. This also
benefits LLVM/Clang compatibility where the -G switch is not supported.
Why -mexplicit-relocs can now be conditionally applied without
regressions:
Originally -mexplicit-relocs is unconditionally added to CFLAGS in case
of CONFIG_AS_HAS_EXPLICIT_RELOCS, because not having it (i.e. old GCC +
new binutils) would not work: modules will have R_LARCH_ABS_* relocs
inside, but given the rarity of such toolchain combo in the wild, it may
not be worthwhile to support it, so support for such relocs in modules
were not added back when explicit relocs support was upstreamed, and
-mexplicit-relocs is unconditionally added to fail the build early.
Now that Clang compatibility is desired, given Clang is behaving like
-mexplicit-relocs from day one but without support for the CLI flag, we
must ensure the flag is not passed in case of Clang. However, explicit
compiler flavor checks can be more brittle than feature detection: in
this case what actually matters is support for __attribute__((model))
when building modules. Given neither older GCC nor current Clang support
this attribute, probing for the attribute support and #error'ing out
would allow proper UX without checking for Clang, and also automatically
work when Clang support for the attribute is to be added in the future.
Why -mdirect-extern-access is now conditionally applied:
This is actually a nice-to-have optimization that can reduce GOT
accesses, but not having it is harmless either. Because Clang does not
support the option currently, but might do so in the future, conditional
application via cc-option ensures compatibility with both current and
future Clang versions.

With a blatant copy of some MIPS bits we introduce the crc32 and crc32c
hw accelerated module to LoongArch.
LoongArch has provided these instructions to calculate crc32 and crc32c:
* crc.w.b.w crcc.w.b.w
* crc.w.h.w crcc.w.h.w
* crc.w.w.w crcc.w.w.w
* crc.w.d.w crcc.w.d.w
So we can make use of these instructions to improve the performance of
calculation for crc32(c) checksums.
As can be seen from the following test results, crc32(c) instructions
can improve the performance by 58%.

The compiler has inserted 2 NOPs before the regular function prologue.
T series registers are available and safe because of LoongArch's psABI.
At runtime, we can replace nop with bl to enable ftrace call and replace
bl with nop to disable ftrace call. The bl instruction requires us to
save the original RA value, so it saves RA at t0 here.
Details are:
| Compiled | Disabled | Enabled |
+------------+------------------------+------------------------+
| nop | move t0, ra | move t0, ra |
| nop | nop | bl ftrace_caller |
| func_body | func_body | func_body |
The RA value will be recovered by ftrace_regs_entry, and restored into
RA before returning to the regular function prologue. When a function is
not being traced, the "move t0, ra" is not harmful.
1) ftrace_make_call, ftrace_make_nop (in kernel/ftrace.c)
The two functions turn each recorded call site of filtered functions
into a call to ftrace_caller or nops.
2) ftracce_update_ftrace_func (in kernel/ftrace.c)
turns the nops at ftrace_call into a call to a generic entry for
function tracers.
3) ftrace_caller (in kernel/mcount_dyn.S)
The entry where each _mcount call sites calls to once they are
filtered to be traced.

This patch adds support for kdump. In kdump case the normal kernel will
reserve a region for the crash kernel and jump there on panic.
Arch-specific functions are added to allow for implementing a crash dump
file interface, /proc/vmcore, which can be viewed as a ELF file.
A user-space tool, such as kexec-tools, is responsible for allocating a
separate region for the core's ELF header within the crash kdump kernel
memory and filling it in when executing kexec_load().
Then, its location will be advertised to the crash dump kernel via a
command line argument "elfcorehdr=", and the crash dump kernel will
preserve this region for later use with arch_reserve_vmcore() at boot
time.
At the same time, the crash kdump kernel is also limited within the
"crashkernel" area via a command line argument "mem=", so as not to
destroy the original kernel dump data.
In the crash dump kernel environment, /proc/vmcore is used to access the
primary kernel's memory with copy_oldmem_page().
I tested kdump on LoongArch machines (Loongson-3A5000) and it works as
expected (suggested crashkernel parameter is "crashkernel=512M@2560M"),
you may test it by triggering a crash through /proc/sysrq-trigger:
$ sudo kexec -p /boot/vmlinux-kdump --reuse-cmdline --append="nr_cpus=1"
# echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger

If explicit relocation hints are used by the toolchain, -Wa,-mla-*
options will be useless for the C code. So only use them for the
!CONFIG_AS_HAS_EXPLICIT_RELOCS case.
Replace "la" with "la.pcrel" in head.S to keep the semantic consistent
with new and old toolchains for the low level startup code.
For per-CPU variables, the "address" of the symbol is actually an offset
from $r21. The value is near the loading address of main kernel image,
but far from the loading address of modules. So we use model("extreme")
attibute to tell the compiler that a PC-relative addressing with 32-bit
offset is not sufficient for local per-CPU variables.
The behavior with different assemblers and compilers are summarized in
the following table:
AS has CC has
explicit relocs explicit relocs * Behavior
==============================================================
No No Use la.* macros.
No change from Linux 6.0.
--------------------------------------------------------------
No Yes Disable explicit relocs.
No change from Linux 6.0.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Yes No Not supported.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Yes Yes Enable explicit relocs.
No -Wa,-mla* options used.
==============================================================
*: We assume CC must have model attribute if it has explicit relocs.
Both features are added in GCC 13 development cycle, so any GCC
release >= 13 should be OK. Using early GCC 13 development snapshots
may produce modules with unsupported relocations.

Kbuild puts the objects listed in head-y at the head of vmlinux.
Conventionally, we do this for head*.S, which contains the kernel entry
point.
A counter approach is to control the section order by the linker script.
Actually, the code marked as __HEAD goes into the ".head.text" section,
which is placed before the normal ".text" section.
I do not know if both of them are needed. From the build system
perspective, head-y is not mandatory. If you can achieve the proper code
placement by the linker script only, it would be cleaner.
I collected the current head-y objects into head-object-list.txt. It is
a whitelist. My hope is it will be reduced in the long run.

We use a flat mapping to map the efi runtime in the kernel's address

flat mapping is not identity mapping, SetVirtualAddressMap() is still
