x86: don't re-generate cpufeaturemasks.h so eagerly

It turns out the code to generate the x86 cpufeaturemasks.h header was
way too aggressive, and would re-generate it whenever the timestamp on
the kernel config file changed.

Now, the regular 'make *config' tools are fairly careful to not rewrite
the kernel config file unless the contents change, but other usecases
aren't that careful.

Michael Kelley reports that 'make-kpkg' ends up doing "make syncconfig"
multiple times in prepping to build, and will modify the config file in
the process (and then modify it back, but by then the timestamps have
changed).

Jakub Kicinski reports that the netdev CI does something similar in how
it generates the config file in multiple steps.

In both cases, the config file timestamp updates then cause the
cpufeaturemasks.h file to be regenerated, and that in turn then causes
lots of unnecessary rebuilds due to all the normal dependencies.

Fix it by using our 'filechk' infrastructure in the Makefile to generate
the header file. That will only write a new version of the file if the
contents of the file have actually changed.

Introduce an AWK script to auto-generate the <asm/cpufeaturemasks.h> header
with required and disabled feature masks based on <asm/cpufeatures.h>
and the current build config.

Thus for any CPU feature with a build config, e.g., X86_FRED, simply add:

config X86_DISABLED_FEATURE_FRED
def_bool y
depends on !X86_FRED

to arch/x86/Kconfig.cpufeatures, instead of adding a conditional CPU
feature disable flag, e.g., DISABLE_FRED.

Lastly, the generated required and disabled feature masks will be added to
their corresponding feature masks for this particular compile-time
configuration.

kbuild: Introduce Kconfig symbol for linking vmlinux with relocations

Some architectures build vmlinux with static relocations preserved, but
strip them again from the final vmlinux image. Arch specific tools
consume these static relocations in order to construct relocation tables
for KASLR.

The fact that vmlinux is created, consumed and subsequently updated goes
against the typical, declarative paradigm used by Make, which is based
on rules and dependencies. So as a first step towards cleaning this up,
introduce a Kconfig symbol to declare that the arch wants to consume the
static relocations emitted into vmlinux. This will be wired up further
in subsequent patches.

x86/cpu: Drop configuration options for early 64-bit CPUs

The x86 CPU selection menu is confusing for a number of reasons:

When configuring 32-bit kernels, it shows a small number of early 64-bit
microarchitectures (K8, Core 2) but not the regular generic 64-bit target
that is the normal default. There is no longer a reason to run 32-bit
kernels on production 64-bit systems, so only actual 32-bit CPUs need
to be shown here.

When configuring 64-bit kernels, the options also pointless as there is
no way to pick any CPU from the past 15 years, leaving GENERIC_CPU as
the only sensible choice.

Address both of the above by removing the obsolete options and making
all 64-bit kernels run on both Intel and AMD CPUs from any generation.
Testing generic 32-bit kernels on 64-bit hardware remains possible,
just not building a 32-bit kernel that requires a 64-bit CPU.

x86/build: Rework CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU compiler flags

Building an x86-64 kernel with CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU is documented to
run on all CPUs, but the Makefile does not actually pass an -march=
argument, instead relying on the default that was used to configure
the toolchain.

In many cases, gcc will be configured to -march=x86-64 or -march=k8
for maximum compatibility, but in other cases a distribution default
may be either raised to a more recent ISA, or set to -march=native
to build for the CPU used for compilation. This still works in the
case of building a custom kernel for the local machine.

The point where it breaks down is building a kernel for another
machine that is older the the default target. Changing the default
to -march=x86-64 would make it work reliable, but possibly produce
worse code on distros that intentionally default to a newer ISA.

To allow reliably building a kernel for either the oldest x86-64
CPUs, pass the -march=x86-64 flag to the compiler. This was not
possible in early versions of x86-64 gcc, but works on all currently
supported versions down to at least gcc-5.

x86/stackprotector/64: Convert to normal per-CPU variable

Older versions of GCC fixed the location of the stack protector canary
at %gs:40. This constraint forced the percpu section to be linked at
absolute address 0 so that the canary could be the first data object in
the percpu section. Supporting the zero-based percpu section requires
additional code to handle relocations for RIP-relative references to
percpu data, extra complexity to kallsyms, and workarounds for linker
bugs due to the use of absolute symbols.

GCC 8.1 supports redefining where the canary is located, allowing it to
become a normal percpu variable instead of at a fixed location. This
removes the constraint that the percpu section must be zero-based.

x86/stackprotector: Work around strict Clang TLS symbol requirements

GCC and Clang both implement stack protector support based on Thread Local
Storage (TLS) variables, and this is used in the kernel to implement per-task
stack cookies, by copying a task's stack cookie into a per-CPU variable every
time it is scheduled in.

Both now also implement -mstack-protector-guard-symbol=, which permits the TLS
variable to be specified directly. This is useful because it will allow to
move away from using a fixed offset of 40 bytes into the per-CPU area on
x86_64, which requires a lot of special handling in the per-CPU code and the
runtime relocation code.

However, while GCC is rather lax in its implementation of this command line
option, Clang actually requires that the provided symbol name refers to a TLS
variable (i.e., one declared with __thread), although it also permits the
variable to be undeclared entirely, in which case it will use an implicit
declaration of the right type.

The upshot of this is that Clang will emit the correct references to the stack
cookie variable in most cases, e.g.,

10d: 64 a1 00 00 00 00 mov %fs:0x0,%eax
10f: R_386_32 __stack_chk_guard

However, if a non-TLS definition of the symbol in question is visible in the
same compilation unit (which amounts to the whole of vmlinux if LTO is
enabled), it will drop the per-CPU prefix and emit a load from a bogus
address.

Work around this by using a symbol name that never occurs in C code, and emit
it as an alias in the linker script.

rust: cfi: add support for CFI_CLANG with Rust

Make it possible to use the Control Flow Integrity (CFI) sanitizer when
Rust is enabled. Enabling CFI with Rust requires that CFI is configured
to normalize integer types so that all integer types of the same size
and signedness are compatible under CFI.

Rust and C use the same LLVM backend for code generation, so Rust KCFI
is compatible with the KCFI used in the kernel for C. In the case of
FineIBT, CFI also depends on -Zpatchable-function-entry for rewriting
the function prologue, so we set that flag for Rust as well. The flag
for FineIBT requires rustc 1.80.0 or later, so include a Kconfig
requirement for that.

Enabling Rust will select CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS because the flag
is required to use Rust with CFI. Using select rather than `depends on`
avoids the case where Rust is not visible in menuconfig due to
CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS not being enabled. One disadvantage of
select is that RUST must `depends on` all of the things that
CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS depends on to avoid invalid configurations.

Alice has been using KCFI on her phone for several months, so it is
reasonably well tested on arm64.

x86/rust: support MITIGATION_RETPOLINE

Support `MITIGATION_RETPOLINE` by enabling the target features that
Clang does.

The existing target feature being enabled was a leftover from
our old `rust` branch, and it is not enough: the target feature
`retpoline-external-thunk` only implies `retpoline-indirect-calls`, but
not `retpoline-indirect-branches` (see LLVM's `X86.td`), unlike Clang's
flag of the same name `-mretpoline-external-thunk` which does imply both
(see Clang's `lib/Driver/ToolChains/Arch/X86.cpp`).

Without this, `objtool` would complain if enabled for Rust, e.g.:

rust/core.o: warning: objtool:
_R...escape_default+0x13: indirect jump found in RETPOLINE build

In addition, change the comment to note that LLVM is the one disabling
jump tables when retpoline is enabled, thus we do not need to use
`-Zno-jump-tables` for Rust here -- see commit c58f2166ab39 ("Introduce
the "retpoline" x86 mitigation technique ...") [1]:

The goal is simple: avoid generating code which contains an indirect
branch that could have its prediction poisoned by an attacker. In
many cases, the compiler can simply use directed conditional
branches and a small search tree. LLVM already has support for
lowering switches in this way and the first step of this patch is
to disable jump-table lowering of switches and introduce a pass to
rewrite explicit indirectbr sequences into a switch over integers.

As well as a live example at [2].

These should be eventually enabled via `-Ctarget-feature` when `rustc`
starts recognizing them (or via a new dedicated flag) [3].

X86 Makefiles descend into subdirectories of arch/x86/virt inconsistently;
into arch/x86/virt/ via core-y defined in arch/x86/Makefile, but into
arch/x86/virt/svm/ via obj-y defined in arch/x86/Kbuild.

This is problematic when you build a single object in parallel because
multiple threads attempt to build the same file.

"Extra spaces are allowed and ignored at the beginning of the
conditional directive line, but a tab is not allowed."

This will not work for the next release of GNU Make, hence commit
82175d1f9430 ("kbuild: Replace tabs with spaces when followed by
conditionals") replaced the inappropriate tabs with 8 spaces.

However, the 8-space indentation cannot be visually distinguished.
Linus suggested 2-4 spaces for those nested if-statements. [2]

This commit redoes the replacement with 4 spaces.

rust: Refactor the build target to allow the use of builtin targets

Eventually we want all architectures to be using the target as defined
by rustc. However currently some architectures can't do that and are
using the target.json specification. This puts in place the foundation
to allow the use of the builtin target definition or a target.json
specification.

gnu make won't allow conditionals to follow recipe prefix.

For example there is a tab followed by ifeq on line 324 in the root Makefile.
With the new make this conditional causes the following

$ make cpu.o
/home/dgoncharov/src/linux-kbuild/Makefile:2063: *** missing 'endif'. Stop.
make: *** [Makefile:240: __sub-make] Error 2

This patch replaces tabs followed by conditionals with 8 spaces.

kbuild: unify vdso_install rules

Currently, there is no standard implementation for vdso_install,
leading to various issues:

1. Code duplication

Many architectures duplicate similar code just for copying files
to the install destination.

Some architectures (arm, sparc, x86) create build-id symlinks,
introducing more code duplication.

2. Unintended updates of in-tree build artifacts

The vdso_install rule depends on the vdso files to install.
It may update in-tree build artifacts. This can be problematic,
as explained in commit 19514fc665ff ("arm, kbuild: make
"make install" not depend on vmlinux").

3. Broken code in some architectures

Makefile code is often copied from one architecture to another
without proper adaptation.

'make vdso_install' for parisc does not work.

'make vdso_install' for s390 installs vdso64, but not vdso32.

To address these problems, this commit introduces a generic vdso_install
rule.

Architectures that support vdso_install need to define vdso-install-y
in arch/*/Makefile. vdso-install-y lists the files to install.

For example, arch/x86/Makefile looks like this:

vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_64) += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso64.so.dbg
vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI) += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdsox32.so.dbg
vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_32) += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg
vdso-install-$(CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION) += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg

These files will be installed to $(MODLIB)/vdso/ with the .dbg suffix,
if exists, stripped away.

vdso-install-y can optionally take the second field after the colon
separator. This is needed because some architectures install a vdso
file as a different base name.

The following is a snippet from arch/arm64/Makefile.

vdso-install-$(CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO) += arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/vdso.so.dbg:vdso32.so

This will rename vdso.so.dbg to vdso32.so during installation. If such
architectures change their implementation so that the base names match,
this workaround will go away.
