Some code includes the __used macro to prevent functions and data from
being optimized out. This macro implements __attribute__((__used__)),
which operates at the compiler and IR-level, and so still allows a linker
to remove objects intended to be kept.

Compilers supporting __attribute__((__retain__)) can address this gap by
setting the flag SHF_GNU_RETAIN on the section of a function/variable,
indicating to the linker the object should be retained. This attribute is
available since gcc 11, clang 13, and binutils 2.36.

Provide a __retain macro implementing __attribute__((__retain__)), whose
first user will be the '__bpf_kfunc' tag.

[ Additional remark from discussion:

  Why is CONFIG_LTO_CLANG added here? The __used macro permits garbage
  collection at section level, so CLANG_LTO_CLANG without
  CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION should not change final section
  dynamics?

  The conditional guard was included to ensure consistent behaviour
  between __retain and other features forcing split sections. In
  particular, the same guard is used in vmlinux.lds.h to merge split
  sections where needed. For example, using __retain in LLVM builds
  without CONFIG_LTO was failing CI tests on kernel-patches/bpf because
  the kernel didn't boot properly. And in further testing, the kernel
  had no issues loading BPF kfunc modules with such split sections, so
  the module (partial) linking scripts were left alone. ]

Merge trivial x86 code generation annoyances

 - Introduce helper macros for clang asm input problems

 - use said macros to improve trivially stupid code generation issues in
   bitops and array_index_mask_nospec

 - also improve codegen with 32-bit array index comparisons

None of these really matter, but I look at code generation and profiles
fairly regularly, and these misfeatures caused the generated code to
look really odd and distract from the real issues.

* branch 'x86-codegen' of local tree:
  x86: improve bitop code generation with clang
  x86: improve array_index_mask_nospec() code generation

Work around clang problems with asm constraints that have multiple
possibilities, particularly "g" and "rm".

Clang seems to turn inputs like that into the most generic form, which
is the memory input - but to make matters worse, clang won't even use a
possible original memory location, but will spill the value to stack,
and use the stack for the asm input.

See

  https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/20571#issuecomment-980933442

for some explanation of why clang has this strange behavior, but the end
result is that "g" and "rm" really end up generating horrid code.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - Complete rework of garbage collection of AF_UNIX sockets.

     AF_UNIX is prone to forming reference count cycles due to fd
     passing functionality. New method based on Tarjan's Strongly
     Connected Components algorithm should be both faster and remove a
     lot of workarounds we accumulated over the years.

   - Add TCP fraglist GRO support, allowing chaining multiple TCP
     packets and forwarding them together. Useful for small switches /
     routers which lack basic checksum offload in some scenarios (e.g.
     PPPoE).

   - Support using SMP threads for handling packet backlog i.e. packet
     processing from software interfaces and old drivers which don't use
     NAPI. This helps move the processing out of the softirq jumble.

   - Continue work of converting from rtnl lock to RCU protection.

     Don't require rtnl lock when reading: IPv6 routing FIB, IPv6
     address labels, netdev threaded NAPI sysfs files, bonding driver's
     sysfs files, MPLS devconf, IPv4 FIB rules, netns IDs, tcp metrics,
     TC Qdiscs, neighbor entries, ARP entries via ioctl(SIOCGARP), a lot
     of the link information available via rtnetlink.

   - Small optimizations from Eric to UDP wake up handling, memory
     accounting, RPS/RFS implementation, TCP packet sizing etc.

   - Allow direct page recycling in the bulk API used by XDP, for +2%
     PPS.

   - Support peek with an offset on TCP sockets.

   - Add MPTCP APIs for querying last time packets were received/sent/acked
     and whether MPTCP "upgrade" succeeded on a TCP socket.

   - Add intra-node communication shortcut to improve SMC performance.

   - Add IPv6 (and IPv{4,6}-over-IPv{4,6}) support to the GTP protocol
     driver.

   - Add HSR-SAN (RedBOX) mode of operation to the HSR protocol driver.

   - Add reset reasons for tracing what caused a TCP reset to be sent.

   - Introduce direction attribute for xfrm (IPSec) states. State can be
     used either for input or output packet processing.

  Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:

   - Add bitmap_{read,write}(), bitmap_size(), expose BYTES_TO_BITS().

     This required touch-ups and renaming of a few existing users.

   - Add Endian-dependent __counted_by_{le,be} annotations.

   - Make building selftests "quieter" by printing summaries like
     "CC object.o" rather than full commands with all the arguments.

  Netfilter:

   - Use GFP_KERNEL to clone elements, to deal better with OOM
     situations and avoid failures in the .commit step.

  BPF:

   - Add eBPF JIT for ARCv2 CPUs.

   - Support attaching kprobe BPF programs through kprobe_multi link in
     a session mode, meaning, a BPF program is attached to both function
     entry and return, the entry program can decide if the return
     program gets executed and the entry program can share u64 cookie
     value with return program. "Session mode" is a common use-case for
     tetragon and bpftrace.

   - Add the ability to specify and retrieve BPF cookie for raw
     tracepoint programs in order to ease migration from classic to raw
     tracepoints.

   - Add an internal-only BPF per-CPU instruction for resolving per-CPU
     memory addresses and implement support in x86, ARM64 and RISC-V
     JITs. This allows inlining functions which need to access per-CPU
     state.

   - Optimize x86 BPF JIT's emit_mov_imm64, and add support for various
     atomics in bpf_arena which can be JITed as a single x86
     instruction. Support BPF arena on ARM64.

   - Add a new bpf_wq API for deferring events and refactor
     process-context bpf_timer code to keep common code where possible.

   - Harden the BPF verifier's and/or/xor value tracking.

   - Introduce crypto kfuncs to let BPF programs call kernel crypto
     APIs.

   - Support bpf_tail_call_static() helper for BPF programs with GCC 13.

   - Add bpf_preempt_{disable,enable}() kfuncs in order to allow a BPF
     program to have code sections where preemption is disabled.

  Driver API:

   - Skip software TC processing completely if all installed rules are
     marked as HW-only, instead of checking the HW-only flag rule by
     rule.

   - Add support for configuring PoE (Power over Ethernet), similar to
     the already existing support for PoDL (Power over Data Line)
     config.

   - Initial bits of a queue control API, for now allowing a single
     queue to be reset without disturbing packet flow to other queues.

   - Common (ethtool) statistics for hardware timestamping.

  Tests and tooling:

   - Remove the need to create a config file to run the net forwarding
     tests so that a naive "make run_tests" can exercise them.

   - Define a method of writing tests which require an external endpoint
     to communicate with (to send/receive data towards the test
     machine). Add a few such tests.

   - Create a shared code library for writing Python tests. Expose the
     YAML Netlink library from tools/ to the tests for easy Netlink
     access.

   - Move netfilter tests under net/, extend them, separate performance
     tests from correctness tests, and iron out issues found by running
     them "on every commit".

   - Refactor BPF selftests to use common network helpers.

   - Further work filling in YAML definitions of Netlink messages for:
     nftables, team driver, bonding interfaces, vlan interfaces, VF
     info, TC u32 mark, TC police action.

   - Teach Python YAML Netlink to decode attribute policies.

   - Extend the definition of the "indexed array" construct in the specs
     to cover arrays of scalars rather than just nests.

   - Add hyperlinks between definitions in generated Netlink docs.

  Drivers:

   - Make sure unsupported flower control flags are rejected by drivers,
     and make more drivers report errors directly to the application
     rather than dmesg (large number of driver changes from Asbjørn
     Sloth Tønnesen).

   - Ethernet high-speed NICs:
      - Broadcom (bnxt):
         - support multiple RSS contexts and steering traffic to them
         - support XDP metadata
         - make page pool allocations more NUMA aware
      - Intel (100G, ice, idpf):
         - extract datapath code common among Intel drivers into a library
         - use fewer resources in switchdev by sharing queues with the PF
         - add PFCP filter support
         - add Ethernet filter support
         - use a spinlock instead of HW lock in PTP clock ops

         - 800G link modes and 100G SerDes speeds
         - per-queue IRQ coalescing configuration
      - Marvell Octeon:
         - support offloading TC packet mark action

   - Ethernet NICs consumer, embedded and virtual:
      - stop lying about skb-&gt;truesize in USB Ethernet drivers, it
        messes up TCP memory calculations
      - Google cloud vNIC:
         - support changing ring size via ethtool
         - support ring reset using the queue control API

         - expose flow hash from RSS to XDP

   - Add the ability to specify and retrieve BPF cookie for raw
     tracepoint programs in order to ease migration from classic to raw
     tracepoints.

   - Add an internal-only BPF per-CPU instruction for resolving per-CPU
     memory addresses and implement support in x86, ARM64 and RISC-V
     JITs. This allows inlining functions which need to access per-CPU
     state.

   - Optimize x86 BPF JIT's emit_mov_imm64, and add support for various
     atomics in bpf_arena which can be JITed as a single x86
     instruction. Support BPF arena on ARM64.

   - Add a new bpf_wq API for deferring events and refactor
     process-context bpf_timer code to keep common code where possible.

   - Harden the BPF verifier's and/or/xor value tracking.

   - Introduce crypto kfuncs to let BPF programs call kernel crypto
     APIs.

   - Support bpf_tail_call_static() helper for BPF programs with GCC 13.

   - Add bpf_preempt_{disable,enable}() kfuncs in order to allow a BPF
     program to have code sections where preemption is disabled.

  Driver API:

   - Skip software TC processing completely if all installed rules are
     marked as HW-only, instead of checking the HW-only flag rule by
     rule.

   - Add support for configuring PoE (Power over Ethernet), similar to
     the already existing support for PoDL (Power over Data Line)
     config.

   - Initial bits of a queue control API, for now allowing a single
     queue to be reset without disturbing packet flow to other queues.

   - Common (ethtool) statistics for hardware timestamping.

  Tests and tooling:

   - Remove the need to create a config file to run the net forwarding
     tests so that a naive "make run_tests" can exercise them.

   - Define a method of writing tests which require an external endpoint
     to communicate with (to send/receive data towards the test
     machine). Add a few such tests.

   - Create a shared code library for writing Python tests. Expose the
     YAML Netlink library from tools/ to the tests for easy Netlink
     access.

   - Move netfilter tests under net/, extend them, separate performance
     tests from correctness tests, and iron out issues found by running
     them "on every commit".

   - Refactor BPF selftests to use common network helpers.

   - Further work filling in YAML definitions of Netlink messages for:
     nftables, team driver, bonding interfaces, vlan interfaces, VF
     info, TC u32 mark, TC police action.

   - Teach Python YAML Netlink to decode attribute policies.

   - Extend the definition of the "indexed array" construct in the specs
     to cover arrays of scalars rather than just nests.

   - Add hyperlinks between definitions in generated Netlink docs.

  Drivers:

   - Make sure unsupported flower control flags are rejected by drivers,
     and make more drivers report errors directly to the application
     rather than dmesg (large number of driver changes from Asbjørn
     Sloth Tønnesen).

   - Ethernet high-speed NICs:
      - Broadcom (bnxt):
         - support multiple RSS contexts and steering traffic to them
         - support XDP metadata
         - make page pool allocations more NUMA aware

         - extract datapath code common among Intel drivers into a library
         - use fewer resources in switchdev by sharing queues with the PF
         - add PFCP filter support
         - add Ethernet filter support
         - use a spinlock instead of HW lock in PTP clock ops

         - support offloading TC packet mark action

   - Ethernet NICs consumer, embedded and virtual:
      - stop lying about skb-&gt;truesize in USB Ethernet drivers, it
        messes up TCP memory calculations
      - Google cloud vNIC:
         - support changing ring size via ethtool
         - support ring reset using the queue control API

Based on the discussion at [1], it would be helpful to mark certain
variables as explicitly "data racy", which would result in KCSAN not
reporting data races involving any accesses on such variables. To do
that, introduce the __data_racy type qualifier:

	struct foo {
		...
		int __data_racy bar;
		...
	};

In KCSAN-kernels, __data_racy turns into volatile, which KCSAN already
treats specially by considering them "marked". In non-KCSAN kernels the
type qualifier turns into no-op.

The generated code between KCSAN-instrumented kernels and non-KCSAN
kernels is already huge (inserted calls into runtime for every memory
access), so the extra generated code (if any) due to volatile for few
such __data_racy variables are unlikely to have measurable impact on
performance.

It turned out that KMSAN instruments READ_ONCE_NOCHECK(), resulting in
false positive reports, because __no_sanitize_or_inline enforced inlining.

Properly declare __no_sanitize_or_inline under __SANITIZE_MEMORY__, so
that it does not __always_inline the annotated function.

<content type='text'>
Some structures contain flexible arrays at the end and the counter for
them, but the counter has explicit Endianness and thus __counted_by()
can't be used directly.

To increase test coverage for potential problems without breaking
anything, introduce __counted_by_{le,be}() defined depending on
platform's Endianness to either __counted_by() when applicable or noop
otherwise.
Maybe it would be a good idea to introduce such attributes on compiler
level if possible, but for now let's stop on what we have.

Pull hardening updates from Kees Cook:
 "As is pretty normal for this tree, there are changes all over the
  place, especially for small fixes, selftest improvements, and improved
  macro usability.

  Some header changes ended up landing via this tree as they depended on
  the string header cleanups. Also, a notable set of changes is the work
  for the reintroduction of the UBSAN signed integer overflow sanitizer
  so that we can continue to make improvements on the compiler side to
  make this sanitizer a more viable future security hardening option.

  Summary:

   - string.h and related header cleanups (Tanzir Hasan, Andy
     Shevchenko)

   - VMCI memcpy() usage and struct_size() cleanups (Vasiliy Kovalev,
     Harshit Mogalapalli)

   - selftests/powerpc: Fix load_unaligned_zeropad build failure
     (Michael Ellerman)

   - hardened Kconfig fragment updates (Marco Elver, Lukas Bulwahn)

   - Handle tail call optimization better in LKDTM (Douglas Anderson)

   - Use long form types in overflow.h (Andy Shevchenko)

   - Add flags param to string_get_size() (Andy Shevchenko)

   - Add Coccinelle script for potential struct_size() use (Jacob
     Keller)

   - Fix objtool corner case under KCFI (Josh Poimboeuf)

   - Drop 13 year old backward compat CAP_SYS_ADMIN check (Jingzi Meng)

   - Add str_plural() helper (Michal Wajdeczko, Kees Cook)

   - Ignore relocations in .notes section

   - Add comments to explain how __is_constexpr() works

   - Fix m68k stack alignment expectations in stackinit Kunit test

   - Convert string selftests to KUnit

   - Add KUnit tests for fortified string functions

   - Improve reporting during fortified string warnings

   - Allow non-type arg to type_max() and type_min()

   - Allow strscpy() to be called with only 2 arguments

   - Add binary mode to leaking_addresses scanner

   - Various small cleanups to leaking_addresses scanner

   - Adding wrapping_*() arithmetic helper

   - Annotate initial signed integer wrap-around in refcount_t

   - Add explicit UBSAN section to MAINTAINERS

   - Fix UBSAN self-test warnings

   - Simplify UBSAN build via removal of CONFIG_UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL

   - Reintroduce UBSAN's signed overflow sanitizer"
