powerpc: Replace kretprobe code with rethook on powerpc

powerpc: Replace kretprobe code with rethook on powerpc

This is an adaptation of commit f3a112c0c40d ("x86,rethook,kprobes:
Replace kretprobe with rethook on x86") to powerpc.

Rethook follows the existing kretprobe implementation, but separates
it from kprobes so that it can be used by fprobe (ftrace-based
function entry/exit probes). As such, this patch also enables fprobe
to work on powerpc. The only other change compared to the existing
kretprobe implementation is doing the return address fixup in
arch_rethook_fixup_return().

Reference to other archs:
commit b57c2f124098 ("riscv: add riscv rethook implementation")
commit 7b0a096436c2 ("LoongArch: Replace kretprobe with rethook")

Note:
=====

In future, rethook will be only for kretprobe, and kretprobe
will be replaced by fprobe.

https://lore.kernel.org/all/172000134410.63468.13742222887213469474.stgit@devnote2/

We will adapt the above implementation for powerpc once its upstream.
Until then, we can have this implementation of rethook to serve
current kretprobe usecases.

powerpc/dexcr: Reset DEXCR value across exec

Inheriting the DEXCR across exec can have security and usability
concerns. If a program is compiled with hash instructions it generally
expects to run with NPHIE enabled. But if the parent process disables
NPHIE then if it's not careful it will be disabled for any children too
and the protection offered by hash checks is basically worthless.

This patch introduces a per-process reset value that new execs in a
particular process tree are initialized with. This enables fine grained
control over what DEXCR value child processes run with by default.
For example, containers running legacy binaries that expect hash
instructions to act as NOPs could configure the reset value of the
container root to control the default reset value for all members of
the container.

powerpc/32: fix syscall wrappers with 64-bit arguments of unaligned register-pairs

powerpc 32-bit system call (and function) calling convention for 64-bit
arguments requires the next available odd-pair (two sequential registers
with the first being odd-numbered) from the standard register argument
allocation.

The first argument register is r3, so a 64-bit argument that appears at
an even position in the argument list must skip a register (unless there
were preceding 64-bit arguments, which might throw things off). This
requires non-standard compat definitions to deal with the holes in the
argument register allocation.

With pt_regs syscall wrappers which use a standard mapper to map pt_regs
GPRs to function arguments, 32-bit kernels hit the same basic problem,
the standard definitions don't cope with the unused argument registers.

Fix this by having 32-bit kernels share those syscall definitions with
compat.

Thanks to Jason for spending a lot of time finding and bisecting this
and developing a trivial reproducer. The perfect bug report.

kbuild: use obj-y instead extra-y for objects placed at the head

The objects placed at the head of vmlinux need special treatments:

- arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile adds them to head-y in order to place
them before other archives in the linker command line.

- arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile adds them to extra-y instead of
obj-y to avoid them going into built-in.a.

This commit gets rid of the latter.

Create vmlinux.a to collect all the objects that are unconditionally
linked to vmlinux. The objects listed in head-y are moved to the head
of vmlinux.a by using 'ar m'.

With this, arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile can consistently use obj-y
for builtin objects.

There is no *.o that is directly linked to vmlinux. Drop unneeded code
in scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py.

$(AR) mPi needs 'T' to workaround the llvm-ar bug. The fix was suggested
by Nathan Chancellor [1].

powerpc/64s: Disable stack variable initialisation for prom_init

With GCC 12 allmodconfig prom_init fails to build:

Error: External symbol 'memset' referenced from prom_init.c
make[2]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/Makefile:204: arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init_check] Error 1

The allmodconfig build enables KASAN, so all calls to memset in
prom_init should be converted to __memset by the #ifdefs in
asm/string.h, because prom_init must use the non-KASAN instrumented
versions.

The build failure happens because there's a call to memset that hasn't
been caught by the pre-processor and converted to __memset. Typically
that's because it's a memset generated by the compiler itself, and that
is the case here.

With GCC 12, allmodconfig enables CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_PATTERN, which
causes the compiler to emit memset calls to initialise on-stack
variables with a pattern.

Because prom_init is non-user-facing boot-time only code, as a
workaround just disable stack variable initialisation to unbreak the
build.

the Radix MMU, supporting only outline mode.

- Enable the compiler instrumentation to check addresses and maintain the
shadow region. (This is the guts of KASAN which we can easily reuse.)

- Require kasan-vmalloc support to handle modules and anything else in
vmalloc space.

- KASAN needs to be able to validate all pointer accesses, but we can't
instrument all kernel addresses - only linear map and vmalloc. On boot,
set up a single page of read-only shadow that marks all iomap and
vmemmap accesses as valid.

- Document KASAN in powerpc docs.

Background
----------

KASAN support on Book3S is a bit tricky to get right:

- It would be good to support inline instrumentation so as to be able to
catch stack issues that cannot be caught with outline mode.

- Inline instrumentation requires a fixed offset.

- Book3S runs code with translations off ("real mode") during boot,
including a lot of generic device-tree parsing code which is used to
determine MMU features.

[ppc64 mm note: The kernel installs a linear mapping at effective
address c000...-c008.... This is a one-to-one mapping with physical
memory from 0000... onward. Because of how memory accesses work on
powerpc 64-bit Book3S, a kernel pointer in the linear map accesses the
same memory both with translations on (accessing as an 'effective
address'), and with translations off (accessing as a 'real
address'). This works in both guests and the hypervisor. For more
details, see s5.7 of Book III of version 3 of the ISA, in particular
the Storage Control Overview, s5.7.3, and s5.7.5 - noting that this
KASAN implementation currently only supports Radix.]

- Some code - most notably a lot of KVM code - also runs with translations
off after boot.

- Therefore any offset has to point to memory that is valid with
translations on or off.

One approach is just to give up on inline instrumentation. This way
boot-time checks can be delayed until after the MMU is set is up, and we
can just not instrument any code that runs with translations off after
booting. Take this approach for now and require outline instrumentation.

Previous attempts allowed inline instrumentation. However, they came with
some unfortunate restrictions: only physically contiguous memory could be
used and it had to be specified at compile time. Maybe we can do better in
the future.

[[email protected] - Rebased onto 5.17. Note that a kernel with
CONFIG_KASAN=y will crash during boot on a machine using HPT
translation because not all the entry points to the generic
KASAN code are protected with a call to kasan_arch_is_ready().]
