x86/cpufeatures: Generate the <asm/cpufeaturemasks.h> header based on build config

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.

fprobe: Add fprobe_header encoding feature

Fprobe store its data structure address and size on the fgraph return stack
by __fprobe_header. But most 64bit architecture can combine those to
one unsigned long value because 4 MSB in the kernel address are the same.
With this encoding, fprobe can consume less space on ret_stack.

This introduces asm/fprobe.h to define arch dependent encode/decode
macros. Note that since fprobe depends on CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_FREGS,
currently only arm64, loongarch, riscv, s390 and x86 are supported.

x86/unwind/orc: Add ELF section with ORC version identifier

Commits ffb1b4a41016 ("x86/unwind/orc: Add 'signal' field to ORC
metadata") and fb799447ae29 ("x86,objtool: Split UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY in
two") changed the ORC format. Although ORC is internal to the kernel,
it's the only way for external tools to get reliable kernel stack traces
on x86-64. In particular, the drgn debugger [1] uses ORC for stack
unwinding, and these format changes broke it [2]. As the drgn
maintainer, I don't care how often or how much the kernel changes the
ORC format as long as I have a way to detect the change.

It suffices to store a version identifier in the vmlinux and kernel
module ELF files (to use when parsing ORC sections from ELF), and in
kernel memory (to use when parsing ORC from a core dump+symbol table).
Rather than hard-coding a version number that needs to be manually
bumped, Peterz suggested hashing the definitions from orc_types.h. If
there is a format change that isn't caught by this, the hashing script
can be updated.

This patch adds an .orc_header allocated ELF section containing the
20-byte hash to vmlinux and kernel modules, along with the corresponding
__start_orc_header and __stop_orc_header symbols in vmlinux.

asm-generic: make more kernel-space headers mandatory

Change a header to mandatory-y if both of the following are met:

[1] At least one architecture (except um) specifies it as generic-y in
arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild

[2] Every architecture (except um) either has its own implementation
(arch/*/include/asm/*.h) or specifies it as generic-y in
arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild

This commit was generated by the following shell script.

----------------------------------->8-----------------------------------

arches=$(cd arch; ls -1 | sed -e '/Kconfig/d' -e '/um/d')

tmpfile=$(mktemp)

grep "^mandatory-y +=" include/asm-generic/Kbuild > $tmpfile

find arch -path 'arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild' |
xargs sed -n 's/^generic-y += \(.*\)/\1/p' | sort -u |
while read header
do
mandatory=yes

for arch in $arches
do
if ! grep -q "generic-y += $header" arch/$arch/include/asm/Kbuild &&
! [ -f arch/$arch/include/asm/$header ]; then
mandatory=no
break
fi
done

if [ "$mandatory" = yes ]; then
echo "mandatory-y += $header" >> $tmpfile

for arch in $arches
do
sed -i "/generic-y += $header/d" arch/$arch/include/asm/Kbuild
done
fi

done

sed -i '/^mandatory-y +=/d' include/asm-generic/Kbuild

LANG=C sort $tmpfile >> include/asm-generic/Kbuild

----------------------------------->8-----------------------------------

One obvious benefit is the diff stat:

25 files changed, 52 insertions(+), 557 deletions(-)

It is tedious to list generic-y for each arch that needs it.

So, mandatory-y works like a fallback default (by just wrapping
asm-generic one) when arch does not have a specific header
implementation.

See the following commits:

def3f7cefe4e81c296090e1722a76551142c227c
a1b39bae16a62ce4aae02d958224f19316d98b24

It is tedious to convert headers one by one, so I processed by a shell
script.

module: use relative references for __ksymtab entries

An ordinary arm64 defconfig build has ~64 KB worth of __ksymtab entries,
each consisting of two 64-bit fields containing absolute references, to
the symbol itself and to a char array containing its name, respectively.

When we build the same configuration with KASLR enabled, we end up with an
additional ~192 KB of relocations in the .init section, i.e., one 24 byte
entry for each absolute reference, which all need to be processed at boot
time.

Given how the struct kernel_symbol that describes each entry is completely
local to module.c (except for the references emitted by EXPORT_SYMBOL()
itself), we can easily modify it to contain two 32-bit relative references
instead. This reduces the size of the __ksymtab section by 50% for all
64-bit architectures, and gets rid of the runtime relocations entirely for
architectures implementing KASLR, either via standard PIE linking (arm64)
or using custom host tools (x86).

Note that the binary search involving __ksymtab contents relies on each
section being sorted by symbol name. This is implemented based on the
input section names, not the names in the ksymtab entries, so this patch
does not interfere with that.

Given that the use of place-relative relocations requires support both in
the toolchain and in the module loader, we cannot enable this feature for
all architectures. So make it dependent on whether
CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS is defined.

variable:

genhdr-y += unistd_32.h
genhdr-y += unistd_64.h
genhdr-y += unistd_x32.h

The same entries are also appended to that variable in
include/uapi/asm/Kbuild. So commit:

10b63956fce7 ("UAPI: Plumb the UAPI Kbuilds into the user header installation and checking")

... removed these three entries from include/asm/Kbuild. But, apparently, some
merge conflict resolution re-added them.

The net effect is, in short, that the genhdr-y make variable contains these
file names twice and, as a consequence, that the corresponding headers get
installed twice. And so the build prints:

INSTALL usr/include/asm/ (65 files)

... while in reality only 62 files are installed in that directory.

Nothing breaks because of all that, but it's a good idea to finally remove
these unneeded entries nevertheless.

Currently only x86 generates extra headers in these directories, for the
purposes of enumerating system calls for different ABIs, and xen
hypercalls.

This will allow the asm-generic wrapper handling code to remove stale
wrappers when files are removed from generic-y, without also removing
these headers which are generated separately.

Commit 2ae416b142b6 ("mm: new mm hook framework") introduced an empty

As suggested by Geert Uytterhoeven, this could be cleaned through the use
of a generic header file included via each per architecture

The PowerPC architecture is not impacted here since this architecture has
to defined the arch_remap MM hook.

sched, x86: Provide a per-cpu preempt_count implementation

Convert x86 to use a per-cpu preemption count. The reason for doing so
is that accessing per-cpu variables is a lot cheaper than accessing
thread_info variables.

We still need to save/restore the actual preemption count due to
PREEMPT_ACTIVE so we place the per-cpu __preempt_count variable in the
same cache-line as the other hot __switch_to() variables such as
current_task.

NOTE: this save/restore is required even for !PREEMPT kernels as
cond_resched() also relies on preempt_count's PREEMPT_ACTIVE to ignore
task_struct::state.

Also rename thread_info::preempt_count to ensure nobody is
'accidentally' still poking at it.
