Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
- Add powerpc qspinlock implementation optimised for large system
scalability and paravirt. See the merge message for more details
- Enable objtool to be built on powerpc to generate mcount locations
- Use a temporary mm for code patching with the Radix MMU, so the
writable mapping is restricted to the patching CPU
- Add an option to build the 64-bit big-endian kernel with the ELFv2
ABI
- Sanitise user registers on interrupt entry on 64-bit Book3S
- Many other small features and fixes

When code is compiled with:
-fpatchable-function-entry=${PADDING_BYTES},${PADDING_BYTES}
functions will have PADDING_BYTES of NOP in front of them. Unwinders
and other things that symbolize code locations will typically
attribute these bytes to the preceding function.
Given that these bytes nominally belong to the following symbol this
mis-attribution is confusing.
Inspired by the fact that CFI_CLANG emits __cfi_##name symbols to
claim these bytes, allow objtool to emit __pfx_##name symbols to do
the same.
Therefore add the objtool --prefix=N argument, to conditionally place
a __pfx_##name symbol at N bytes ahead of symbol 'name' when: all
these preceding bytes are NOP and name-N is an instruction boundary.

Since entry asm is tricky, add a validation pass that ensures the
retbleed mitigation has been done before the first actual RET
instruction.
Entry points are those that either have UNWIND_HINT_ENTRY, which acts
as UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY but marks the instruction as an entry point, or
those that have UWIND_HINT_IRET_REGS at +0.
This is basically a variant of validate_branch() that is
intra-function and it will simply follow all branches from marked
entry points and ensures that all paths lead to ANNOTATE_UNRET_END.
If a path hits RET or an indirection the path is a fail and will be
reported.
There are 3 ANNOTATE_UNRET_END instances:
- UNTRAIN_RET itself
- exception from-kernel; this path doesn't need UNTRAIN_RET
- all early exceptions; these also don't need UNTRAIN_RET

The '--lto' option is a confusing way of telling objtool to do stack
validation despite it being a linked object. It's no longer needed now
that an explicit '--stackval' option exists. The '--vmlinux' option is
also redundant.
Remove both options in favor of a straightforward '--link' option which
identifies a linked object.
Also, implicitly set '--link' with a warning if the user forgets to do
so and we can tell that it's a linked object. This makes it easier for
manual vmlinux runs.

The subcommand model has never been a good fit, making it awkward to

Currently objtool headers are being included either by their base name
or included via ../ from a parent directory. In case of a base name usage:
#include "warn.h"
#include "arch_elf.h"
it does not make it apparent from which directory the file comes from.
To make it slightly better, and actually to avoid name clashes some arch
specific files have "arch_" suffix. And files from an arch folder have
to revert to including via ../ e.g:
#include "../../elf.h"
With additional architectures support and the code base growth there is
a need for clearer headers naming scheme for multiple reasons:
1. to make it instantly obvious where these files come from (objtool
itself / objtool arch|generic folders / some other external files),
2. to avoid name clashes of objtool arch specific headers, potential
obtool arch generic headers and the system header files (there is
/usr/include/elf.h already),
3. to avoid ../ includes and improve code readability.
4. to give a warm fuzzy feeling to developers who are mostly kernel
developers and are accustomed to linux kernel headers arranging
scheme.
Doesn't this make it instantly obvious where are these files come from?
#include <objtool/warn.h>
#include <arch/elf.h>
And doesn't it look nicer to avoid ugly ../ includes? Which also
guarantees this is elf.h from the objtool and not /usr/include/elf.h.
#include <objtool/elf.h>
This patch defines and implements new objtool headers arranging
scheme. Which is:
- all generic headers go to include/objtool (similar to include/linux)
- all arch headers go to arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/arch (to get arch
prefix). This is similar to linux arch specific "asm/*" headers but we
are not abusing "asm" name and calling it what it is. This also helps
to prevent name clashes (arch is not used in system headers or kernel
exports).
To bring objtool to this state the following things are done:
1. current top level tools/objtool/ headers are moved into
include/objtool/ subdirectory,
2. arch specific headers, currently only arch/x86/include/ are moved into
arch/x86/include/arch/ and were stripped of "arch_" suffix,
3. new -I$(srctree)/tools/objtool/include include path to make
includes like <objtool/warn.h> possible,
4. rewriting file includes,
5. make git not to ignore include/objtool/ subdirectory.

Objtool currently only compiles for x86 architectures. This is
fine as it presently does not support tooling for other
architectures. However, we would like to be able to convert other
kernel tools to run as objtool sub commands because they too
process ELF object files. This will allow us to convert tools
such as recordmcount to use objtool's ELF code.
Since much of recordmcount's ELF code is copy-paste code to/from
a variety of other kernel tools (look at modpost for example) this
means that if we can convert recordmcount we can convert more.
We define weak definitions for subcommand entry functions and other weak
definitions for shared functions critical to building existing
subcommands. These return 127 when the command is missing which signify
tools that do not exist on all architectures. In this case the "check"
and "orc" tools do not exist on all architectures so we only add them
for x86. Future changes adding support for "check", to arm64 for
example, can then modify the SUBCMD_CHECK variable when building for
arm64.
Objtool is not currently wired in to KConfig to be built for other
architectures because it's not needed for those architectures and
there are no commands it supports other than those for x86. As more
command support is enabled on various architectures the necessary
KConfig changes can be made (e.g. adding "STACK_VALIDATION") to
trigger building objtool.

Validate that any call out of .noinstr.text is in between

This annotation is useful to ensure correct behaviour wrt tracing
sensitive code like entry/exit and idle code. When we run code in a
sensitive context we want a guarantee no unknown code is ran.
Since this validation relies on knowing the section of call
destination symbols, we must run it on vmlinux.o instead of on
individual object files.
Add two options:
-d/--duplicate "duplicate validation for vmlinux"
-l/--vmlinux "vmlinux.o validation"
Where the latter auto-detects when objname ends with "vmlinux.o" and
the former will force all validations, also those already done on
!vmlinux object files.

Teach objtool too track UACCESS state and warn about any CALL made
while UACCESS is enabled. This very much includes the __fentry__()
and __preempt_schedule() calls.
Note that exceptions _do_ save/restore the UACCESS state, and therefore
they can drive preemption. This also means that all exception handlers

therefore ignore this warning for !STT_FUNC code (exception handlers

Objtool tries to silence 'unreachable instruction' warnings when it
detects gcov is enabled, because gcov produces a lot of unreachable
instructions and they don't really matter.
However, the 0-day bot is still reporting some unreachable instruction
warnings with CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL=y on GCC 4.6.4.
As it turns out, objtool's gcov detection doesn't work with older
versions of GCC because they don't create a bunch of symbols with the
'gcov.' prefix like newer versions of GCC do.
Move the gcov check out of objtool and instead just create a new
'--no-unreachable' flag which can be passed in by the kernel Makefile
when CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL is defined.
Also rename the 'nofp' variable to 'no_fp' for consistency with the new
'no_unreachable' variable.

The issue is in find_switch_table(). It tries to find a switch
statement's jump table by walking backwards from an indirect jump
instruction, looking for a relocation to the .rodata section. In this
case it stopped walking prematurely: the first .rodata relocation it
encountered was for a variable (resp_state_name) instead of a jump
table, so it just assumed there wasn't a jump table.
The fix is to ignore any .rodata relocation which refers to an ELF
object symbol. This works because the jump tables are anonymous and
have no symbols associated with them.

The '__unreachable' and '__func_stack_frame_non_standard' sections are
only used at compile time. They're discarded for vmlinux but they
should also be discarded for modules.
Since this is a recurring pattern, prefix the section names with
".discard.". It's a nice convention and vmlinux.lds.h already discards
such sections.
Also remove the 'a' (allocatable) flag from the __unreachable section

The BUG() macro's use of __builtin_unreachable() via the unreachable()
macro tells gcc that the instruction is a dead end, and that it's safe
to assume the current code path will not execute past the previous
instruction.
On x86, the BUG() macro is implemented with the 'ud2' instruction. When
objtool's branch analysis sees that instruction, it knows the current
code path has come to a dead end.
Peter Zijlstra has been working on a patch to change the WARN macros to
use 'ud2'. That patch will break objtool's assumption that 'ud2' is
always a dead end.
Generally it's best for objtool to avoid making those kinds of
assumptions anyway. The more ignorant it is of kernel code internals,
the better.
So create a more generic way for objtool to detect dead ends by adding
an annotation to the unreachable() macro. The annotation stores a
pointer to the end of the unreachable code path in an '__unreachable'
section. Objtool can read that section to find the dead ends.
