Pull s390 updates from Vasily Gorbik:

 - Add support for stackleak feature. Also allow specifying
   architecture-specific stackleak poison function to enable faster
   implementation. On s390, the mvc-based implementation helps decrease
   typical overhead from a factor of 3 to just 25%

 - Convert all assembler files to use SYM* style macros, deprecating the
   ENTRY() macro and other annotations. Select ARCH_USE_SYM_ANNOTATIONS

 - Improve KASLR to also randomize module and special amode31 code base
   load addresses

 - Rework decompressor memory tracking to support memory holes and
   improve error handling

 - Add support for protected virtualization AP binding

 - Add support for set_direct_map() calls

 - Implement set_memory_rox() and noexec module_alloc()

 - Remove obsolete overriding of mem*() functions for KASAN

 - Rework kexec/kdump to avoid using nodat_stack to call purgatory

 - Convert the rest of the s390 code to use flexible-array member
   instead of a zero-length array

 - Clean up uaccess inline asm

 - Enable ARCH_HAS_MEMBARRIER_SYNC_CORE

 - Convert to using CONFIG_FUNCTION_ALIGNMENT and enable
   DEBUG_FORCE_FUNCTION_ALIGN_64B

 - Resolve last_break in userspace fault reports

 - Simplify one-level sysctl registration

 - Clean up branch prediction handling

 - Rework CPU counter facility to retrieve available counter sets just
   once

 - Other various small fixes and improvements all over the code

<title>vdso: Improve cmd_vdso_check to check all dynamic relocations</title>
<updated>2023-03-21T20:15:34Z</updated>

<name>Fangrui Song</name>

<published>2023-03-10T19:07:50Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=aff69273af61f5d1c8fb401d6f19148d11629b41'/>
<id>urn:sha1:aff69273af61f5d1c8fb401d6f19148d11629b41</id>
<content type='text'>
The actual intention is that no dynamic relocation exists in the VDSO. For
this the VDSO build validates that the resulting .so file does not have any
relocations which are specified via $(ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS) per architecture,
which is fragile as e.g. ARM64 lacks an entry for R_AARCH64_RELATIVE. Aside
of that ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS is a misnomer as it checks for relative
relocations too.

However, some GNU ld ports produce unneeded R_*_NONE relocation entries. If
a port fails to determine the exact .rel[a].dyn size, the trailing zeros
become R_*_NONE relocations. E.g. ld's powerpc port recently fixed
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29540). R_*_NONE are
generally a no-op in the dynamic loaders. So just ignore them.

Remove the ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS defines and just validate that the resulting
.so file does not contain any R_* relocation entries except R_*_NONE.

<title>s390/vdso: Drop '-shared' from KBUILD_CFLAGS_64</title>

When clang's -Qunused-arguments is dropped from KBUILD_CPPFLAGS, it
points out that there is a linking phase flag added to CFLAGS, which
will only be used for compiling

  clang-16: error: argument unused during compilation: '-shared' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]

'-shared' is already present in ldflags-y so it can just be dropped.

<title>s390/vdso: Drop unused '-s' flag from KBUILD_AFLAGS_64</title>

When clang's -Qunused-arguments is dropped from KBUILD_CPPFLAGS, it
warns:

  clang-16: error: argument unused during compilation: '-s' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]

The compiler's '-s' flag is a linking option (it is passed along to the
linker directly), which means it does nothing when the linker is not
invoked by the compiler. The kernel builds all .o files with '-c', which
stops the compilation pipeline before linking, so '-s' can be safely
dropped from KBUILD_AFLAGS_64.

<title>s390/vdso: filter out -mstack-guard and -mstack-size</title>

<content type='text'>
When CONFIG_VMAP_STACK is disabled, the user can enable CONFIG_STACK_CHECK,
which adds a stack overflow check to each C function in the kernel. This is
also done for functions in the vdso page. These functions are run in user
context and user stack sizes are usually different to what the kernel uses.
This might trigger the stack check although the stack size is valid.
Therefore filter the -mstack-guard and -mstack-size flags when compiling
vdso C files.

<title>s390/vdso: remove -nostdlib compiler flag</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7b737adc10d269e7fdf714ae2caa2281b6a801cf</id>
<content type='text'>
The -nostdlib option requests the compiler to not use the standard
system startup files or libraries when linking. It is effective only
when $(CC) is used as a linker driver.

Since commit 2b2a25845d53 ("s390/vdso: Use $(LD) instead of $(CC) to
link vDSO"), $(LD) is directly used, hence -nostdlib is unneeded.
