These are all functions which are invoked from elsewhere, so annotate
them as global using the new SYM_FUNC_START and their ENDPROC's by
SYM_FUNC_END.
Make sure ENTRY/ENDPROC is not defined on X86_64, given these were the
last users.

There are a couple of assembly functions which are invoked only locally
in the file they are defined. In C, they are marked "static". In
assembly, annotate them using SYM_{FUNC,CODE}_START_LOCAL (and switch
their ENDPROC to SYM_{FUNC,CODE}_END too). Whether FUNC or CODE is used,
depends on whether ENDPROC or END was used for a particular function
before.

* annotate functions properly by SYM_CODE_START, SYM_CODE_START_LOCAL*
and SYM_CODE_END -- these are not C-like functions, so they have to
be annotated using CODE.
* use SYM_INNER_LABEL* for labels being in the middle of other functions
This prevents nested labels annotations.

Use the newly added SYM_CODE_START_LOCAL* to annotate beginnings of
all pseudo-functions (those ending with END until now) which do not
have ".globl" annotation. This is needed to balance END for tools that
generate debuginfo. Note that ENDs are switched to SYM_CODE_END too so
that everybody can see the pairing.
C-like functions (which handle frame ptr etc.) are not annotated here,
hence SYM_CODE_* macros are used here, not SYM_FUNC_*. Note that the
32bit version of early_idt_handler_common already had ENDPROC -- switch
that to SYM_CODE_END for the same reason as above (and to be the same as
64bit).
While early_idt_handler_common is LOCAL, it's name is not prepended with
".L" as it happens to appear in call traces.
bad_get_user*, and bad_put_user are now aligned, as they are separate
functions. They do not mind to be aligned -- no need to be compact
there.
early_idt_handler_common is aligned now too, as it is after
early_idt_handler_array, so as well no need to be compact there.
verify_cpu is self-standing and included in other .S files, so align it
too.
The others have alignment preserved to what it used to be (using the
_NOALIGN variant of macros).

Place SYM_*_START_NOALIGN and SYM_*_END around the THUNK macro body.
Preserve @function by FUNC (64bit) and CODE (32bit). Given it was not
marked as aligned, use NOALIGN.
The result:
Value Size Type Bind Vis Ndx Name
0000 28 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 1 trace_hardirqs_on_thunk
001c 28 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 1 trace_hardirqs_off_thunk
0038 24 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 1 lockdep_sys_exit_thunk
0050 24 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 1 ___preempt_schedule
0068 24 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 1 ___preempt_schedule_notra
The annotation of .L_restore does not generate anything (at the moment).
Here, it just serves documentation purposes (as opening and closing
brackets of functions).

During the assembly cleanup patchset review, I found more symbols which
are used only locally. So make them really local by prepending ".L" to
them. Namely:
- wakeup_idt is used only in realmode/rm/wakeup_asm.S.
- in_pm32 is used only in boot/pmjump.S.
- retint_user is used only in entry/entry_64.S, perhaps since commit
2ec67971fa ("x86/entry/64/compat: Remove most of the fast system
call machinery"), where entry_64_compat's caller was removed.
Drop GLOBAL from all of them too. I do not see more candidates in the
series.

for moving the CPU timer expiry out into task work so it can be
properly accounted on the task/process.
An update to the bogus permission checks will come later during the
merge window as feedback was not complete before heading of for
travel.
- Switch the timerqueue code to use cached rbtrees and get rid of the
homebrewn caching of the leftmost node.
- Consolidate hrtimer_init() + hrtimer_init_sleeper() calls into a
single function
- Implement the separation of hrtimers to be forced to expire in hard
interrupt context even when PREEMPT_RT is enabled and mark the
affected timers accordingly.
- Implement a mechanism for hrtimers and the timer wheel to protect
RT against priority inversion and live lock issues when a (hr)timer
which should be canceled is currently executing the callback.
Instead of infinitely spinning, the task which tries to cancel the
timer blocks on a per cpu base expiry lock which is held and
released by the (hr)timer expiry code.

Boris suggests to make a local label (prepend ".L") to these functions
to eliminate them from the symbol table. These are functions with very
local names and really should not be visible anywhere.
Note that objtool won't see these functions anymore (to generate ORC
debug info). But all the functions are not annotated with ENDPROC, so
they won't have objtool's attention anyway.

Kbuild provides per-file compiler flag addition/removal:
CFLAGS_<basetarget>.o
CFLAGS_REMOVE_<basetarget>.o
AFLAGS_<basetarget>.o
AFLAGS_REMOVE_<basetarget>.o
CPPFLAGS_<basetarget>.lds
HOSTCFLAGS_<basetarget>.o
HOSTCXXFLAGS_<basetarget>.o
The <basetarget> is the filename of the target with its directory and
suffix stripped.
This syntax comes into a trouble when two files with the same basename
appear in one Makefile, for example:
obj-y += foo.o
obj-y += dir/foo.o
CFLAGS_foo.o := <some-flags>
Here, the <some-flags> applies to both foo.o and dir/foo.o
The real world problem is:
scripts/kconfig/util.c
scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/util.c
Both files are compiled into scripts/kconfig/mconf, but only the
latter should be given with the ncurses flags.
It is more sensible to use the relative path to the Makefile, like this:
obj-y += foo.o
CFLAGS_foo.o := <some-flags>
obj-y += dir/foo.o
CFLAGS_dir/foo.o := <other-flags>
At first, I attempted to replace $(basetarget) with $*. The $* variable
is replaced with the stem ('%') part in a pattern rule. This works with
most of cases, but does not for explicit rules.
For example, arch/ia64/lib/Makefile reuses rule_as_o_S in its own
explicit rules, so $* will be empty, resulting in ignoring the per-file
AFLAGS.
I introduced a new variable, target-stem, which can be used also from
explicit rules.

Prepare to add Hyper-V sched clock callback and move Hyper-V Reference TSC
initialization much earlier in the boot process. Earlier initialization is
needed so that it happens while the timestamp value is still 0 and no
discontinuity in the timestamp will occur when pv_ops.time.sched_clock
calculates its offset.
The earlier initialization requires that the Hyper-V TSC page be allocated
statically instead of with vmalloc(), so fixup the references to the TSC
page and the method of getting its physical address.

Commit a0d14b8909 ("x86/mm, tracing: Fix CR2 corruption") added the
address parameter to do_async_page_fault(), but does not pass it from the
32-bit entry point. To plumb it through, factor-out
common_exception_read_cr2 in the same fashion as common_exception, and uses
it from both page_fault and async_page_fault.
For a 32-bit KVM guest, this fixes:
Run /sbin/init as init process

For unfortunate historical reasons, the x32 syscalls and the x86_64
syscalls are not all numbered the same. As an example, ioctl() is nr 16 on
x86_64 but 514 on x32.
This has potentially nasty consequences, since it means that there are two
valid RAX values to do ioctl(2) and two invalid RAX values. The valid
values are 16 (i.e. ioctl(2) using the x86_64 ABI) and (514 | 0x40000000)
(i.e. ioctl(2) using the x32 ABI).
The invalid values are 514 and (16 | 0x40000000). 514 will enter the
"COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE3(ioctl, ...)" entry point with in_compat_syscall()
and in_x32_syscall() returning false, whereas (16 | 0x40000000) will enter
the native entry point with in_compat_syscall() and in_x32_syscall()
returning true. Both are bogus, and both will exercise code paths in the
kernel and in any running seccomp filters that really ought to be
unreachable.
Splitting out the x32 syscalls into their own tables, allows both bogus
invocations to return -ENOSYS. I've checked glibc, musl, and Bionic, and
all of them appear to call syscalls with their correct numbers, so this
change should have no effect on them.
There is an added benefit going forward: new syscalls that need special
handling on x32 can share the same number on x32 and x86_64. This means
that the special syscall range 512-547 can be treated as a legacy wart
instead of something that may need to be extended in the future.
Also add a selftest to verify the new behavior.

A "compat" entry in the syscall tables means to use a different entry on
32-bit and 64-bit builds.
This only makes sense for syscalls that exist in the first place in 32-bit
builds, so disallow it for anything other than i386.

I'm working on some code that detects at build time if there's a
COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE() that is not referenced in the x86 syscall tables.
It catches three offenders: rt_sigsuspend(), rt_sigprocmask(), and
sendfile64().
For rt_sigsuspend() and rt_sigprocmask(), the only potential difference
between the native and compat versions is that the compat version converts
the sigset_t, but, on little endian architectures, the conversion is a
no-op. This is why they both currently work on x86.
To make the code more consistent, and to make the upcoming patches work,
rewire x86 to use the compat vesions.
sendfile64() is more complicated, and will be addressed separately.

The recent fix for CR2 corruption introduced a new way to reliably corrupt
the saved CR2 value.
CR2 is saved early in the entry code in RDX, which is the third argument to
the fault handling functions. But it missed that between saving and
invoking the fault handler enter_from_user_mode() can be called. RDX is a
caller saved register so the invoked function can freely clobber it with
the obvious consequences.
The TRACE_IRQS_OFF call is safe as it calls through the thunk which
preserves RDX, but TRACE_IRQS_OFF_DEBUG is not because it also calls into
C-code outside of the thunk.
Store CR2 in R12 instead which is a callee saved register and move R12 to
RDX just before calling the fault handler.

In the sysctl code the proc_dointvec_minmax() function is often used to
validate the user supplied value between an allowed range. This
function uses the extra1 and extra2 members from struct ctl_table as
minimum and maximum allowed value.
On sysctl handler declaration, in every source file there are some
readonly variables containing just an integer which address is assigned
to the extra1 and extra2 members, so the sysctl range is enforced.
The special values 0, 1 and INT_MAX are very often used as range
boundary, leading duplication of variables like zero=0, one=1,
int_max=INT_MAX in different source files:
$ git grep -E '\.extra[12].*&(zero|one|int_max)' |wc -l

Despite the current efforts to read CR2 before tracing happens there still
exist a number of possible holes:
idtentry page_fault do_page_fault has_error_code=1
call error_entry
TRACE_IRQS_OFF
call trace_hardirqs_off*
#PF // modifies CR2
CALL_enter_from_user_mode
__context_tracking_exit()
trace_user_exit(0)
#PF // modifies CR2
call do_page_fault

And similar for i386.
Fix it by pulling the CR2 read into the entry code, before any of that

Somehow the swapgs mitigation entry code patch ended up with a JMPQ
instruction instead of JMP, where only the short jump is needed. Some
assembler versions apparently fail to optimize JMPQ into a two-byte JMP
when possible, instead always using a 7-byte JMP with relocation. For
some reason that makes the entry code explode with a #GP during boot.
Change it back to "JMP" as originally intended.

xen_xenint3:
pop %rcx;
pop %r11;
jmp xenint3
As xenint3 and int3 entry code are same except xenint3 doesn't generate
a gap, we can fix it by using int3 and drop useless xenint3.

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"

Merge tag 'clone3-v5.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux
Pull clone3 system call from Christian Brauner:
"This adds the clone3 syscall which is an extensible successor to clone
after we snagged the last flag with CLONE_PIDFD during the 5.2 merge
window for clone(). It cleanly supports all of the flags from clone()
and thus all legacy workloads.
There are few user visible differences between clone3 and clone.
First, CLONE_DETACHED will cause EINVAL with clone3 so we can reuse
this flag. Second, the CSIGNAL flag is deprecated and will cause
EINVAL to be reported. It is superseeded by a dedicated "exit_signal"
argument in struct clone_args thus freeing up even more flags. And
third, clone3 gives CLONE_PIDFD a dedicated return argument in struct
clone_args instead of abusing CLONE_PARENT_SETTID's parent_tidptr
argument.
The clone3 uapi is designed to be easy to handle on 32- and 64 bit:
/* uapi */
struct clone_args {
__aligned_u64 flags;
__aligned_u64 pidfd;
__aligned_u64 child_tid;
__aligned_u64 parent_tid;
__aligned_u64 exit_signal;
__aligned_u64 stack;
__aligned_u64 stack_size;
__aligned_u64 tls;
};
and a separate kernel struct is used that uses proper kernel typing:
/* kernel internal */
struct kernel_clone_args {
u64 flags;
int __user *pidfd;
int __user *child_tid;
int __user *parent_tid;
int exit_signal;
unsigned long stack;
unsigned long stack_size;
unsigned long tls;
};
The system call comes with a size argument which enables the kernel to
detect what version of clone_args userspace is passing in. clone3
validates that any additional bytes a given kernel does not know about
are set to zero and that the size never exceeds a page.
A nice feature is that this patchset allowed us to cleanup and
simplify various core kernel codepaths in kernel/fork.c by making the
internal _do_fork() function take struct kernel_clone_args even for
legacy clone().
This patch also unblocks the time namespace patchset which wants to
introduce a new CLONE_TIMENS flag.
Note, that clone3 has only been wired up for x86{_32,64}, arm{64}, and
xtensa. These were the architectures that did not require special
massaging.
Other architectures treat fork-like system calls individually and
after some back and forth neither Arnd nor I felt confident that we
dared to add clone3 unconditionally to all architectures. We agreed to
leave this up to individual architecture maintainers. This is why
there's an additional patch that introduces __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3
which any architecture can set once it has implemented support for
clone3. The patch also adds a cond_syscall(clone3) for architectures
such as nios2 or h8300 that generate their syscall table by simply
including asm-generic/unistd.h. The hope is to get rid of
__ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 and cond_syscall() rather soon"

Merge tag 'pidfd-updates-v5.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux
Pull pidfd updates from Christian Brauner:
"This adds two main features.
- First, it adds polling support for pidfds. This allows process
managers to know when a (non-parent) process dies in a race-free
way.
The notification mechanism used follows the same logic that is
currently used when the parent of a task is notified of a child's
death. With this patchset it is possible to put pidfds in an
{e}poll loop and get reliable notifications for process (i.e.
thread-group) exit.
- The second feature compliments the first one by making it possible
to retrieve pollable pidfds for processes that were not created
using CLONE_PIDFD.
A lot of processes get created with traditional PID-based calls
such as fork() or clone() (without CLONE_PIDFD). For these
processes a caller can currently not create a pollable pidfd. This
is a problem for Android's low memory killer (LMK) and service
managers such as systemd.
Both patchsets are accompanied by selftests.
It's perhaps worth noting that the work done so far and the work done
in this branch for pidfd_open() and polling support do already see
some adoption:
- Android is in the process of backporting this work to all their LTS
kernels [1]
- Service managers make use of pidfd_send_signal but will need to
wait until we enable waiting on pidfds for full adoption.
- And projects I maintain make use of both pidfd_send_signal and
CLONE_PIDFD [2] and will use polling support and pidfd_open() too"

Spectre v1 isn't only about array bounds checks. It can affect any
conditional checks. The kernel entry code interrupt, exception, and NMI
handlers all have conditional swapgs checks. Those may be problematic in
the context of Spectre v1, as kernel code can speculatively run with a user
GS.
For example:
if (coming from user space)
swapgs
mov %gs:<percpu_offset>, %reg
mov (%reg), %reg1
When coming from user space, the CPU can speculatively skip the swapgs, and
then do a speculative percpu load using the user GS value. So the user can
speculatively force a read of any kernel value. If a gadget exists which
uses the percpu value as an address in another load/store, then the
contents of the kernel value may become visible via an L1 side channel
attack.
A similar attack exists when coming from kernel space. The CPU can
speculatively do the swapgs, causing the user GS to get used for the rest
of the speculative window.
The mitigation is similar to a traditional Spectre v1 mitigation, except:
a) index masking isn't possible; because the index (percpu offset)
isn't user-controlled; and
b) an lfence is needed in both the "from user" swapgs path and the
"from kernel" non-swapgs path (because of the two attacks described
above).
The user entry swapgs paths already have SWITCH_TO_KERNEL_CR3, which has a
CR3 write when PTI is enabled. Since CR3 writes are serializing, the
lfences can be skipped in those cases.
On the other hand, the kernel entry swapgs paths don't depend on PTI.
To avoid unnecessary lfences for the user entry case, create two separate
features for alternative patching:
X86_FEATURE_FENCE_SWAPGS_USER
X86_FEATURE_FENCE_SWAPGS_KERNEL
Use these features in entry code to patch in lfences where needed.
The features aren't enabled yet, so there's no functional change.

Pull force_sig() argument change from Eric Biederman:
"A source of error over the years has been that force_sig has taken a
task parameter when it is only safe to use force_sig with the current
task.
The force_sig function is built for delivering synchronous signals
such as SIGSEGV where the userspace application caused a synchronous
fault (such as a page fault) and the kernel responded with a signal.
Because the name force_sig does not make this clear, and because the
force_sig takes a task parameter the function force_sig has been
abused for sending other kinds of signals over the years. Slowly those
have been fixed when the oopses have been tracked down.
This set of changes fixes the remaining abusers of force_sig and
carefully rips out the task parameter from force_sig and friends
making this kind of error almost impossible in the future"
