With CONFIG_CFI_CLANG, the compiler replaces a function address taken
in C code with the address of a local jump table entry, which passes
runtime indirect call checks. However, the compiler won't replace
addresses taken in assembly code, which will result in a CFI failure
if we later jump to such an address in instrumented C code. The code
generated for the non-canonical jump table looks this:

  &lt;noncanonical.cfi_jt&gt;: /* In C, &amp;noncanonical points here */
	jmp noncanonical
  ...
  &lt;noncanonical&gt;:        /* function body */
	...

This change adds the __cficanonical attribute, which tells the
compiler to use a canonical jump table for the function instead. This
means the compiler will rename the actual function to &lt;function&gt;.cfi
and points the original symbol to the jump table entry instead:

  &lt;canonical&gt;:           /* jump table entry */
	jmp canonical.cfi
  ...
  &lt;canonical.cfi&gt;:       /* function body */
	...

As a result, the address taken in assembly, or other non-instrumented
code always points to the jump table and therefore, can be used for
indirect calls in instrumented code without tripping CFI checks.

<title>add support for Clang CFI</title>

<content type='text'>
This change adds support for Clang’s forward-edge Control Flow
Integrity (CFI) checking. With CONFIG_CFI_CLANG, the compiler
injects a runtime check before each indirect function call to ensure
the target is a valid function with the correct static type. This
restricts possible call targets and makes it more difficult for
an attacker to exploit bugs that allow the modification of stored
function pointers. For more details, see:

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

Clang requires CONFIG_LTO_CLANG to be enabled with CFI to gain
visibility to possible call targets. Kernel modules are supported
with Clang’s cross-DSO CFI mode, which allows checking between
independently compiled components.

With CFI enabled, the compiler injects a __cfi_check() function into
the kernel and each module for validating local call targets. For
cross-module calls that cannot be validated locally, the compiler
calls the global __cfi_slowpath_diag() function, which determines
the target module and calls the correct __cfi_check() function. This
patch includes a slowpath implementation that uses __module_address()
to resolve call targets, and with CONFIG_CFI_CLANG_SHADOW enabled, a
shadow map that speeds up module look-ups by ~3x.

Clang implements indirect call checking using jump tables and
offers two methods of generating them. With canonical jump tables,
the compiler renames each address-taken function to &lt;function&gt;.cfi
and points the original symbol to a jump table entry, which passes
__cfi_check() validation. This isn’t compatible with stand-alone
assembly code, which the compiler doesn’t instrument, and would
result in indirect calls to assembly code to fail. Therefore, we
default to using non-canonical jump tables instead, where the compiler
generates a local jump table entry &lt;function&gt;.cfi_jt for each
address-taken function, and replaces all references to the function
with the address of the jump table entry.

Note that because non-canonical jump table addresses are local
to each component, they break cross-module function address
equality. Specifically, the address of a global function will be
different in each module, as it's replaced with the address of a local
jump table entry. If this address is passed to a different module,
it won’t match the address of the same function taken there. This
may break code that relies on comparing addresses passed from other
components.

CFI checking can be disabled in a function with the __nocfi attribute.
Additionally, CFI can be disabled for an entire compilation unit by
filtering out CC_FLAGS_CFI.

By default, CFI failures result in a kernel panic to stop a potential
exploit. CONFIG_CFI_PERMISSIVE enables a permissive mode, where the
kernel prints out a rate-limited warning instead, and allows execution
to continue. This option is helpful for locating type mismatches, but
should only be enabled during development.

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

<id>97e4910232fa1f81e806aa60c25a0450276d99a2</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

Paul Gortmaker reported a regression in the GCC version check. [1]
If you use GCC 4.8, the build breaks before showing the error message
"error Sorry, your version of GCC is too old - please use 4.9 or newer."

I do not want to apply his fix-up since it implies we would not be able
to remove any cc-option test. Anyway, I admit checking the GCC version
in &lt;linux/compiler-gcc.h&gt; is too late.

Almost at the same time, Linus also suggested to move the compiler
version error to Kconfig time. [2]

I unified the two similar scripts, gcc-version.sh and clang-version.sh
into cc-version.sh. The old scripts invoked the compiler multiple times
(3 times for gcc-version.sh, 4 times for clang-version.sh). I refactored
the code so the new one invokes the compiler just once, and also tried
my best to use shell-builtin commands where possible.

The new script runs faster.

  $ time ./scripts/clang-version.sh clang
  120000

  real    0m0.029s
  user    0m0.012s
  sys     0m0.021s

  $ time ./scripts/cc-version.sh clang
  Clang 120000

  real    0m0.009s
  user    0m0.006s
  sys     0m0.004s

cc-version.sh also shows an error message if the compiler is too old:

  $ make defconfig CC=clang-9
  *** Default configuration is based on 'x86_64_defconfig'
  ***
  *** Compiler is too old.
  ***   Your Clang version:    9.0.1
  ***   Minimum Clang version: 10.0.1
  ***
  scripts/Kconfig.include:46: Sorry, this compiler is not supported.
  make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/Makefile:81: defconfig] Error 1
  make: *** [Makefile:602: defconfig] Error 2

The new script takes care of ICC because we have &lt;linux/compiler-intel.h&gt;
although I am not sure if building the kernel with ICC is well-supported.

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>

<content type='text'>
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.

<content type='text'>
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.
