commit 514ca14ed5444b911de59ed3381dfd195d99fe4b upstream.

Back during the discussion of
commit a9a3ed1eff36 ("x86: Fix early boot crash on gcc-10, third try")
we discussed the need for a function attribute to control the omission
of stack protectors on a per-function basis; at the time Clang had
support for no_stack_protector but GCC did not. This was fixed in
gcc-11. Now that the function attribute is available, let's start using
it.

Callers of boot_init_stack_canary need to use this function attribute
unless they're compiled with -fno-stack-protector, otherwise the canary
stored in the stack slot of the caller will differ upon the call to
boot_init_stack_canary. This will lead to a call to __stack_chk_fail()
then panic.

Pull SMP cross-CPU function-call updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Remove diagnostics and adjust config for CSD lock diagnostics

 - Add a generic IPI-sending tracepoint, as currently there's no easy
   way to instrument IPI origins: it's arch dependent and for some major
   architectures it's not even consistently available.

<content type='text'>
Add explicit _lazy_tlb annotated functions for lazy tlb mm refcounting. 
This makes the lazy tlb mm references more obvious, and allows the
refcounting scheme to be modified in later changes.  There is no
functional change with this patch.

To be able to trace invocations of smp_send_reschedule(), rename the
arch-specific definitions of it to arch_smp_send_reschedule() and wrap it
into an smp_send_reschedule() that contains a tracepoint.

Changes to include the declaration of the tracepoint were driven by the
following coccinelle script:

  @func_use@

  smp_send_reschedule(...);

  #include &lt;trace/events/ipi.h&gt;

<id>urn:sha1:071c44e4278156f18a6a56958617223b6bffa6ab</id>
<content type='text'>
Before commit 076cbf5d2163 ("x86/xen: don't let xen_pv_play_dead()
return"), in Xen, when a previously offlined CPU was brought back
online, it unexpectedly resumed execution where it left off in the
middle of the idle loop.

There were some hacks to make that work, but the behavior was surprising
as do_idle() doesn't expect an offlined CPU to return from the dead (in
arch_cpu_idle_dead()).

Now that Xen has been fixed, and the arch-specific implementations of
arch_cpu_idle_dead() also don't return, give it a __noreturn attribute.

This will cause the compiler to complain if an arch-specific
implementation might return.  It also improves code generation for both
caller and callee.

Also fixes the following warning:

  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: do_idle+0x25f: unreachable instruction

This affects only 64-bit ELFv2 kernels, and reduces the minimum
asm-created stack frame size from 112 to 32 byte on those kernels.

<title>powerpc/smp: poll cpu_callin_map more aggressively in __cpu_up()</title>
<updated>2022-09-28T09:22:14Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=b37ac1894ac3c014863986d6b8ed880195213e78'/>
<id>urn:sha1:b37ac1894ac3c014863986d6b8ed880195213e78</id>
<content type='text'>
At boot time, it is not necessary to delay between polls of
cpu_callin_map when waiting for a kicked CPU to come up. Remove the
delay intervals, but preserve the overall deadline (five seconds).

At run time, the first poll result is usually negative and we incur a
sleeping wait. If we spin on the callin word for a short time first,
we can reduce __cpu_up() from dozens of milliseconds to under 1ms in
the common case on a P9 LPAR:

$ ppc64_cpu --smt=off
$ bpftrace -e 'kprobe:__cpu_up {
                 @start[tid] = nsecs;
               }
               kretprobe:__cpu_up /@start[tid]/ {
                 @us = hist((nsecs - @start[tid]) / 1000);
                 delete(@start[tid]);
               }' -c 'ppc64_cpu --smt=on'

Before:

@us:
