commit b8fdef311a0bd9223f10754f94fdcf1a594a3457 upstream.

Compilers with branch protection support can be configured to enable it by
default, it is likely that distributions will do this as part of deploying
branch protection system wide. As well as the slight overhead from having
some extra NOPs for unused branch protection features this can cause more
serious problems when the kernel is providing pointer authentication to
userspace but not built for pointer authentication itself. In that case our
switching of keys for userspace can affect the kernel unexpectedly, causing
pointer authentication instructions in the kernel to corrupt addresses.

To ensure that we get consistent and reliable behaviour always explicitly
initialise the branch protection mode, ensuring that the kernel is built
the same way regardless of the compiler defaults.

[This is a reworked version of b8fdef311a0bd9223f1075 ("arm64: Always
force a branch protection mode when the compiler has one") for backport.
Kernels prior to 74afda4016a7 ("arm64: compile the kernel with ptrauth
return address signing") don't have any Makefile machinery for forcing
on pointer auth but still have issues if the compiler defaults it on so
need this reworked version. -- broonie]

<title>arm64: implement ftrace with regs</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3b23e4991fb66f6d152f9055ede271a726ef9f21</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch implements FTRACE_WITH_REGS for arm64, which allows a traced
function's arguments (and some other registers) to be captured into a
struct pt_regs, allowing these to be inspected and/or modified. This is
a building block for live-patching, where a function's arguments may be
forwarded to another function. This is also necessary to enable ftrace
and in-kernel pointer authentication at the same time, as it allows the
LR value to be captured and adjusted prior to signing.

Using GCC's -fpatchable-function-entry=N option, we can have the
compiler insert a configurable number of NOPs between the function entry
point and the usual prologue. This also ensures functions are AAPCS
compliant (e.g. disabling inter-procedural register allocation).

For example, with -fpatchable-function-entry=2, GCC 8.1.0 compiles the
following:

| unsigned long bar(void);
|
| unsigned long foo(void)
| {
|         return bar() + 1;
| }

... to:

| &lt;foo&gt;:
|         nop
|         nop
|         stp     x29, x30, [sp, #-16]!
|         mov     x29, sp
|         bl      0 &lt;bar&gt;
|         add     x0, x0, #0x1
|         ldp     x29, x30, [sp], #16
|         ret

This patch builds the kernel with -fpatchable-function-entry=2,
prefixing each function with two NOPs. To trace a function, we replace
these NOPs with a sequence that saves the LR into a GPR, then calls an
ftrace entry assembly function which saves this and other relevant
registers:

| mov	x9, x30
| bl	&lt;ftrace-entry&gt;

Since patchable functions are AAPCS compliant (and the kernel does not
use x18 as a platform register), x9-x18 can be safely clobbered in the
patched sequence and the ftrace entry code.

There are now two ftrace entry functions, ftrace_regs_entry (which saves
all GPRs), and ftrace_entry (which saves the bare minimum). A PLT is
allocated for each within modules.

<title>arm64: Kconfig: Make CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO a proper Kconfig option</title>

<content type='text'>
CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO is defined by passing '-DCONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO' to the
compiler when the generic compat vDSO code is in use. It's much cleaner
and simpler to expose this as a proper Kconfig option (like x86 does),
so do that and remove the bodge.

There's no need to export COMPATCC, so just define it locally in the
vdso32/Makefile, which is the only place where it is used.

<title>arm64: Default to building compat vDSO with clang when CONFIG_CC_IS_CLANG</title>

Rather than force the use of GCC for the compat cross-compiler, instead
extract the target from CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT and pass it to clang if the
main compiler is clang.

<id>urn:sha1:e0de01aafc3dd7b73308106b056ead2d48391905</id>
<content type='text'>
The .config file and the generated include/config/auto.conf can
end up out of sync after a set of commands since
CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT_VDSO is not updated correctly.

The sequence can be reproduced as follows:

$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- defconfig
[...]
$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- menuconfig
[set CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT_VDSO="arm-linux-gnueabihf-"]
$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-

Which results in:

arch/arm64/Makefile:62: CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT not defined or empty,
the compat vDSO will not be built

even though the compat vDSO has been built:

$ file arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/vdso.so
arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/vdso.so: ELF 32-bit LSB pie executable, ARM,
EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked,
BuildID[sha1]=c67f6c786f2d2d6f86c71f708595594aa25247f6, stripped

A similar case that involves changing the configuration parameter
multiple times can be reconducted to the same family of problems.

Remove the use of CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT_VDSO altogether and
instead rely on the cross-compiler prefix coming from the environment
via CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT, much like we do for the rest of the kernel.

<title>arm64: atomics: Use K constraint when toolchain appears to support it</title>

<id>urn:sha1:03adcbd996be7ce81cac793b1511406a7a4df117</id>
<content type='text'>
The 'K' constraint is a documented AArch64 machine constraint supported
by GCC for matching integer constants that can be used with a 32-bit
logical instruction. Unfortunately, some released compilers erroneously
accept the immediate '4294967295' for this constraint, which is later
refused by GAS at assembly time. This had led us to avoid the use of
the 'K' constraint altogether.

Instead, detect whether the compiler is up to the job when building the
kernel and pass the 'K' constraint to our 32-bit atomic macros when it
appears to be supported.
