[ Upstream commit 7a92fc8b4d20680e4c20289a670d8fca2d1f2c1b ]

The pcpu setup when using the page allocator sets up a new vmalloc
mapping very early in the boot process, so early that it cannot use the
flush_cache_vmap() function which may depend on structures not yet
initialized (for example in riscv, we currently send an IPI to flush
other cpus TLB).

But on some architectures, we must call flush_cache_vmap(): for example,
in riscv, some uarchs can cache invalid TLB entries so we need to flush
the new established mapping to avoid taking an exception.

So fix this by introducing a new function flush_cache_vmap_early() which
is called right after setting the new page table entry and before
accessing this new mapping. This new function implements a local flush
tlb on riscv and is no-op for other architectures (same as today).

The select of KEXEC for CRASH_DUMP in kernel/Kconfig.kexec will be
dropped, then compiling errors will be triggered if below config
items are set:

===
CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
===

Here, change the dependency of building kexec_core related object files,
and the ifdeffery on SuperH from CONFIG_KEXEC to CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE.

<title>kprobes: unify kprobes_exceptions_nofify() prototypes</title>

<id>urn:sha1:abc28463c81853e4fdf8d009f71b2a3ce62a6f40</id>
<content type='text'>
Most architectures that support kprobes declare this function in their
own asm/kprobes.h header and provide an override, but some are missing
the prototype, which causes a warning for the __weak stub implementation:

kernel/kprobes.c:1865:12: error: no previous prototype for 'kprobe_exceptions_notify' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
 1865 | int __weak kprobe_exceptions_notify(struct notifier_block *self,

Move the prototype into linux/kprobes.h so it is visible to all
the definitions.

Use __generic_cmpxchg_local() for arch_cmpxchg_local() implementation
on SH architecture because it does not implement arch_cmpxchg_local().

These functions were only used on the microdev board that is now gone,
so remove them to simplify the ioport handling. This could be further
simplified to use the generic I/O port accessors now.

This board was an early prototype platform for early SH4 CPUs and related
to the already removed SH5 cayman platform.

The microdev board itself has been kept in the tree for this long despite
being in a bad shape even 20 years ago when it got merged, with no working
PCI support and ugly workarounds for its I/O port implementation that
try to emulate PC style peripheral access despite being quite different
in reality.

As far as I can tell, the ethernet, display, USB and PCI devices on it
already broke at some point (afbb9d8d5266b, 46bc85872040a), so I think
we can just removeit entirely.

Pull x86 shadow stack support from Dave Hansen:
 "This is the long awaited x86 shadow stack support, part of Intel's
  Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET).

  CET consists of two related security features: shadow stacks and
  indirect branch tracking. This series implements just the shadow stack
  part of this feature, and just for userspace.

  The main use case for shadow stack is providing protection against
  return oriented programming attacks. It works by maintaining a
  secondary (shadow) stack using a special memory type that has
  protections against modification. When executing a CALL instruction,
  the processor pushes the return address to both the normal stack and
  to the special permission shadow stack. Upon RET, the processor pops
  the shadow stack copy and compares it to the normal stack copy.

  For more information, refer to the links below for the earlier
  versions of this patch set"
