[ Upstream commit 540540d06e9d9b3769b46d88def90f7e7c002322 ]

Until now no compiler supported an attribute to disable coverage
instrumentation as used by KCOV.

To work around this limitation on x86, noinstr functions have their
coverage instrumentation turned into nops by objtool.  However, this
solution doesn't scale automatically to other architectures, such as
arm64, which are migrating to use the generic entry code.

Clang [1] and GCC [2] have added support for the attribute recently.

[2] https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commit;h=cec4d4a6782c9bd8d071839c50a239c49caca689
The changes will appear in Clang 13 and GCC 12.

Add __no_sanitize_coverage for both compilers, and add it to noinstr.

Note: In the Clang case, __has_feature(coverage_sanitizer) is only true if
the feature is enabled, and therefore we do not require an additional
defined(CONFIG_KCOV) (like in the GCC case where __has_attribute(..) is
always true) to avoid adding redundant attributes to functions if KCOV is
off.  That being said, compilers that support the attribute will not
generate errors/warnings if the attribute is redundantly used; however,
where possible let's avoid it as it reduces preprocessed code size and
associated compile-time overheads.

<title>linux/compiler-clang.h: define HAVE_BUILTIN_BSWAP*</title>

commit 97e4910232fa1f81e806aa60c25a0450276d99a2 upstream.

Separating compiler-clang.h from compiler-gcc.h inadventently dropped the
definitions of the three HAVE_BUILTIN_BSWAP macros, which requires falling
back to the open-coded version and hoping that the compiler detects it.

Since all versions of clang support the __builtin_bswap interfaces, add
back the flags and have the headers pick these up automatically.

This results in a 4% improvement of compilation speed for arm defconfig.

Note: it might also be worth revisiting which architectures set
CONFIG_ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP for one compiler or the other, today this is
set on six architectures (arm32, csky, mips, powerpc, s390, x86), while
another ten architectures define custom helpers (alpha, arc, ia64, m68k,
mips, nios2, parisc, sh, sparc, xtensa), and the rest (arm64, h8300,
hexagon, microblaze, nds32, openrisc, riscv) just get the unoptimized
version and rely on the compiler to detect it.

A long time ago, the compiler builtins were architecture specific, but
nowadays, all compilers that are able to build the kernel have correct
implementations of them, though some may not be as optimized as the inline
asm versions.

The patch that dropped the optimization landed in v4.19, so as discussed
it would be fairly safe to backport this revert to stable kernels to the
4.19/5.4/5.10 stable kernels, but there is a remaining risk for
regressions, and it has no known side-effects besides compile speed.

bpftrace parses the kernel headers and uses Clang under the hood.

Remove the version check when __BPF_TRACING__ is defined (as bpftrace
does) so that this tool can continue to parse kernel headers, even with
older clang sources.

<title>compiler.h: fix barrier_data() on clang</title>

Commit 815f0ddb346c ("include/linux/compiler*.h: make compiler-*.h
mutually exclusive") neglected to copy barrier_data() from
compiler-gcc.h into compiler-clang.h.

The definition in compiler-gcc.h was really to work around clang's more
aggressive optimization, so this broke barrier_data() on clang, and
consequently memzero_explicit() as well.

For example, this results in at least the memzero_explicit() call in
lib/crypto/sha256.c:sha256_transform() being optimized away by clang.

Fix this by moving the definition of barrier_data() into compiler.h.

Also move the gcc/clang definition of barrier() into compiler.h,
__memory_barrier() is icc-specific (and barrier() is already defined
using it in compiler-intel.h) and doesn't belong in compiler.h.

Patch series "set clang minimum version to 10.0.1", v3.

Adds a compile time #error to compiler-clang.h setting the effective
minimum supported version to clang 10.0.1.  A separate patch has already
been picked up into the Documentation/ tree also confirming the version.

Next are a series of reverts. One for 32b arm is a partial revert.

Then Marco suggested fixes to KASAN docs.

Finally, improve the warning for GCC too as per Kees.

This patch (of 7):

During Plumbers 2020, we voted to just support the latest release of Clang
for now.  Add a compile time check for this.

We plan to remove workarounds for older versions now, which will break in
subtle and not so subtle ways.

Patch series "set clang minimum version to 10.0.1", v3.

Adds a compile time #error to compiler-clang.h setting the effective
minimum supported version to clang 10.0.1.  A separate patch has already
been picked up into the Documentation/ tree also confirming the version.

Next are a series of reverts. One for 32b arm is a partial revert.

Then Marco suggested fixes to KASAN docs.

Finally, improve the warning for GCC too as per Kees.

This patch (of 7):

During Plumbers 2020, we voted to just support the latest release of Clang
for now.  Add a compile time check for this.

We plan to remove workarounds for older versions now, which will break in
subtle and not so subtle ways.

<title>compiler: Remove uninitialized_var() macro</title>

<content type='text'>
Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.

As recommended[2] by[3] Linus[4], remove the macro. With the recent
change to disable -Wmaybe-uninitialized in v5.7 in commit 78a5255ffb6a
("Stop the ad-hoc games with -Wno-maybe-initialized"), this is likely
the best time to make this treewide change.

Merge the state of the locking kcsan branch before the read/write_once()
and the atomics modifications got merged.

Squash the fallout of the rebase on top of the read/write once and atomic
fallback work into the merge. The history of the original branch is
preserved in tag locking-kcsan-2020-06-02.

<title>scs: Add support for Clang's Shadow Call Stack (SCS)</title>

<id>d08b9f0ca6605e13dcb48f04e55a30545b3c71eb</id>
<content type='text'>
This change adds generic support for Clang's Shadow Call Stack,
which uses a shadow stack to protect return addresses from being
overwritten by an attacker. Details are available here:

  https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ShadowCallStack.html

Note that security guarantees in the kernel differ from the ones
documented for user space. The kernel must store addresses of
shadow stacks in memory, which means an attacker capable reading
and writing arbitrary memory may be able to locate them and hijack
control flow by modifying the stacks.
