Fix mis-uses of 'cc-option' for warning disablement

This was triggered by one of my mis-uses causing odd build warnings on
sparc in linux-next, but while figuring out why the "obviously correct"
use of cc-option caused such odd breakage, I found eight other cases of
the same thing in the tree.

The root cause is that 'cc-option' doesn't work for checking negative
warning options (ie things like '-Wno-stringop-overflow') because gcc
will silently accept options it doesn't recognize, and so 'cc-option'
ends up thinking they are perfectly fine.

And it all works, until you have a situation where _another_ warning is
emitted. At that point the compiler will go "Hmm, maybe the user
intended to disable this warning but used that wrong option that I
didn't recognize", and generate a warning for the unrecognized negative
option.

Which explains why we have several cases of this in the tree: the
'cc-option' test really doesn't work for this situation, but most of the
time it simply doesn't matter that ity doesn't work.

The reason my recently added case caused problems on sparc was pointed
out by Thomas Weißschuh: the sparc build had a previous explicit warning
that then triggered the new one.

I think the best fix for this would be to make 'cc-option' a bit smarter
about this sitation, possibly by adding an intentional warning to the
test case that then triggers the unrecognized option warning reliably.

But the short-term fix is to replace 'cc-option' with an existing helper
designed for this exact case: 'cc-disable-warning', which picks the
negative warning but uses the positive form for testing the compiler
support.

LoongArch: KVM: Add PV IPI support on guest side

PARAVIRT config option and PV IPI is added for the guest side, function
pv_ipi_init() is used to add IPI sending and IPI receiving hooks. This
function firstly checks whether system runs in VM mode, and if kernel
runs in VM mode, it will call function kvm_para_available() to detect
the current hypervirsor type (now only KVM type detection is supported).
The paravirt functions can work only if current hypervisor type is KVM,
since there is only KVM supported on LoongArch now.

PV IPI uses virtual IPI sender and virtual IPI receiver functions. With
virtual IPI sender, IPI message is stored in memory rather than emulated
HW. IPI multicast is also supported, and 128 vcpus can received IPIs
at the same time like X86 KVM method. Hypercall method is used for IPI
sending.

With virtual IPI receiver, HW SWI0 is used rather than real IPI HW.
Since VCPU has separate HW SWI0 like HW timer, there is no trap in IPI
interrupt acknowledge. Since IPI message is stored in memory, there is
no trap in getting IPI message.

LoongArch: Add ORC stack unwinder support

The kernel CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC option enables the ORC unwinder, which is
similar in concept to a DWARF unwinder. The difference is that the format
of the ORC data is much simpler than DWARF, which in turn allows the ORC
unwinder to be much simpler and faster.

The ORC data consists of unwind tables which are generated by objtool.
After analyzing all the code paths of a .o file, it determines information
about the stack state at each instruction address in the file and outputs
that information to the .orc_unwind and .orc_unwind_ip sections.

The per-object ORC sections are combined at link time and are sorted and
post-processed at boot time. The unwinder uses the resulting data to
correlate instruction addresses with their stack states at run time.

Most of the logic are similar with x86, in order to get ra info before ra
is saved into stack, add ra_reg and ra_offset into orc_entry. At the same
time, modify some arch-specific code to silence the objtool warnings.

LoongArch: Add KASAN (Kernel Address Sanitizer) support

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.

LoongArch/ftrace: Add dynamic function tracer support

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.

LoongArch: Add alternative runtime patching mechanism

Introduce the "alternative" mechanism from ARM64 and x86 for LoongArch
to apply runtime patching. The main purpose of this patch is to provide
a framework. In future we can use this mechanism (i.e., the ALTERNATIVE
and ALTERNATIVE_2 macros) to optimize hotspot functions according to cpu
features.

LoongArch: Add unaligned access support

Loongson-2 series (Loongson-2K500, Loongson-2K1000) don't support

LoongArch: Add unaligned access support

unaligned access in hardware, while Loongson-3 series (Loongson-3A5000,
Loongson-3C5000) are configurable whether support unaligned access in
hardware. This patch add unaligned access emulation for those LoongArch
processors without hardware support.

LoongArch: Add kdump support

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
