STATIC_CALL_TRAMP_STR() could not be used from .S files because
static_call_types.h was not safe to include in assembly as it pulled in C
types/constructs that are unavailable under __ASSEMBLY__.
Make the header assembly-friendly by adding __ASSEMBLY__ checks and
providing only the minimal definitions needed for assembly, so that it
can be safely included by .S code. This enables emitting the static call
trampoline symbol name via STATIC_CALL_TRAMP_STR() directly in assembly
sources, to be used with 'call' instruction. Also, move a certain
definitions out of __ASSEMBLY__ checks in compiler_types.h to meet
the dependencies.
No functional change for C compilation.

Add a new klp diff subcommand which performs a binary diff between two
object files and extracts changed functions into a new object which can
then be linked into a livepatch module.
This builds on concepts from the longstanding out-of-tree kpatch [1]
project which began in 2012 and has been used for many years to generate
livepatch modules for production kernels. However, this is a complete
rewrite which incorporates hard-earned lessons from 12+ years of
maintaining kpatch.
Key improvements compared to kpatch-build:
- Integrated with objtool: Leverages objtool's existing control-flow
graph analysis to help detect changed functions.
- Works on vmlinux.o: Supports late-linked objects, making it
compatible with LTO, IBT, and similar.
- Simplified code base: ~3k fewer lines of code.
- Upstream: No more out-of-tree #ifdef hacks, far less cruft.
- Cleaner internals: Vastly simplified logic for symbol/section/reloc
inclusion and special section extraction.
- Robust __LINE__ macro handling: Avoids false positive binary diffs
caused by the __LINE__ macro by introducing a fix-patch-lines script
(coming in a later patch) which injects #line directives into the
source .patch to preserve the original line numbers at compile time.
Note the end result of this subcommand is not yet functionally complete.
Livepatch needs some ELF magic which linkers don't like:
- Two relocation sections (.rela*, .klp.rela*) for the same text
section.
- Use of SHN_LIVEPATCH to mark livepatch symbols.
Unfortunately linkers tend to mangle such things. To work around that,
klp diff generates a linker-compliant intermediate binary which encodes
the relevant KLP section/reloc/symbol metadata.
After module linking, a klp post-link step (coming soon) will clean up
the mess and convert the linked .ko into a fully compliant livepatch
module.
Note this subcommand requires the diffed binaries to have been compiled
with -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections, and processed with
'objtool --checksum'. Those constraints will be handled by a klp-build
script introduced in a later patch.
Without '-ffunction-sections -fdata-sections', reliable object diffing
would be infeasible due to toolchain limitations:
- For intra-file+intra-section references, the compiler might
occasionally generated hard-coded instruction offsets instead of
relocations.
- Section-symbol-based references can be ambiguous:
- Overlapping or zero-length symbols create ambiguity as to which
symbol is being referenced.
- A reference to the end of a symbol (e.g., checking array bounds)
can be misinterpreted as a reference to the next symbol, or vice
versa.
A potential future alternative to '-ffunction-sections -fdata-sections'
would be to introduce a toolchain option that forces symbol-based
(non-section) relocations.

Pull more x86 updates from Borislav Petkov:
- Remove a bunch of asm implementing condition flags testing in KVM's
emulator in favor of int3_emulate_jcc() which is written in C
- Replace KVM fastops with C-based stubs which avoids problems with the
fastop infra related to latter not adhering to the C ABI due to their
special calling convention and, more importantly, bypassing compiler
control-flow integrity checking because they're written in asm
- Remove wrongly used static branches and other ugliness accumulated
over time in hyperv's hypercall implementation with a proper static
function call to the correct hypervisor call variant
- Add some fixes and modifications to allow running FRED-enabled
kernels in KVM even on non-FRED hardware
- Add kCFI improvements like validating indirect calls and prepare for
enabling kCFI with GCC. Add cmdline params documentation and other
code cleanups

undefined opcode instruction as agreed upon by both x86 vendors

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab
Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
- A new layer for caching objects for allocation and free via percpu
arrays called sheaves.
The aim is to combine the good parts of SLAB (lower-overhead and
simpler percpu caching, compared to SLUB) without the past issues
with arrays for freeing remote NUMA node objects and their flushing.
It also allows more efficient kfree_rcu(), and cheaper object
preallocations for cases where the exact number of objects is
unknown, but an upper bound is.
Currently VMAs and maple nodes are using this new caching, with a
plan to enable it for all caches and remove the complex SLUB fastpath
based on cpu (partial) slabs and this_cpu_cmpxchg_double().
(Vlastimil Babka, with Liam Howlett and Pedro Falcato for the maple
tree changes)
- Re-entrant kmalloc_nolock(), which allows opportunistic allocations
from NMI and tracing/kprobe contexts.
Building on prior page allocator and memcg changes, it will result in
removing BPF-specific caches on top of slab (Alexei Starovoitov)

Previously the header gfp_types.h in tools points to the gfp_types.h
in include/linux. This is a problem for tools like perf, since the
tools header is supposed to be independent of the kernel
headers.
Therefore this patch copies the kernel header to the tools header and
adds a header check.

small_const_nbits is defined in asm-generic/bitsperlong.h which
bitmap.h uses but doesn't include causing build failures in some build
systems. Add the missing #include.
Note the bitmap.h in tools has diverged from that of the kernel, so no
changes are made there.

Pull hardening updates from Kees Cook:
"One notable addition is the creation of the 'transitional' keyword for
kconfig so CONFIG renaming can go more smoothly.
This has been a long-standing deficiency, and with the renaming of
CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI (since GCC will soon have KCFI
support), this came up again.
The breadth of the diffstat is mainly this renaming.

The slab changes for sheaves requires more effort in the testing code.
Unite all the kmem_cache work into the tools/include slab header for
both the vma and maple tree testing.
The vma test code also requires importing more #defines to allow for
seamless use of the shared kmem_cache code.
This adds the pthread header to the slab header in the tools directory
to allow for the pthread_mutex in linux.c.

The kernel's CFI implementation uses the KCFI ABI specifically, and is
not strictly tied to a particular compiler. In preparation for GCC
supporting KCFI, rename CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI (along with
associated options).
Use new "transitional" Kconfig option for old CONFIG_CFI_CLANG that will
enable CONFIG_CFI during olddefconfig.

Patch series "tools: testing: Use existing atomic.h for vma/maple tests",
v2.
De-duplicating this lets us delete a bit of code.
Ulterior motive: I'm working on a new set of the userspace-based unit
tests, which will need the atomics API too. That would involve even more
duplication, so while the win in this patchset alone is very minimal, it
looks a lot more significant with my other WIP patchset.
I've tested these commands:
make -C tools/testing/vma -j
tools/testing/vma/vma
make -C tools/testing/radix-tree -j
tools/testing/radix-tree/maple
Note the EXTRA_CFLAGS patch is actually orthogonal, let me know if you'd
prefer I send it separately.
This patch (of 4):
The VMA tests need an operation equivalent to atomic_inc_unless_negative()
to implement a fake mapping_map_writable(). Adding it will enable them to
switch to the shared atomic headers and simplify that fake implementation.
In order to add that, also add atomic_try_cmpxchg() which can be used to
implement it. This is copied from Documentation/atomic_t.txt. Then,
implement atomic_inc_unless_negative() itself based on the
raw_atomic_dec_unless_positive() in
include/linux/atomic/atomic-arch-fallback.h.
There's no present need for a highly-optimised version of this (nor any
reason to think this implementation is sub-optimal on x86) so just
implement this with generic C, no x86-specifics.

Import the asm-generic MMIO helper functions from the kernel headers
into tools/include/. The top-level include is <linux/io.h> which then
includes the arch-specific <asm/io.h>, which then includes
<asm-generic/io.h>. This layout is chosen to match the kernel header
layout and to appease checkpatch.pl (which warns against including
<asm/io.h> or <asm-generic/io.h> directly).
Changes made when importing:
- Add missing includes at the top.
- Stub out mmiowb_set_pending().
- Stub out _THIS_IP_.
- Stub out log_*_mmio() calls.
- Drop the CONFIG_64BIT checks, since tools/include/linux/types.h
always defines u64.

Commit 857d18f23ab1 ("cleanup: Introduce ACQUIRE() and ACQUIRE_ERR() for
conditional locks") accidentally broke the radix tree, VMA userland tests
by including linux/args.h which is not present in the tools/include
directory.
This patch copies this over and adds an #ifdef block to avoid duplicate
__CONCAT declaration in conflict with system headers when we ultimately
include this.

Validate that all indirect calls adhere to kCFI rules. Notably doing
nocfi indirect call to a cfi function is broken.
Apparently some Rust 'core' code violates this and explodes when ran
with FineIBT.
All the ANNOTATE_NOCFI_SYM sites are prime targets for attackers.
- runtime EFI is especially henous because it also needs to disable
IBT. Basically calling unknown code without CFI protection at
runtime is a massice security issue.
- Kexec image handover; if you can exploit this, you get to keep it :-)
