commit 1aa0e8b144b6474c4914439d232d15bfe883636b upstream.

Add a config option to guard (future) usage of asm_volatile_goto() that
includes "tied outputs", i.e. "+" constraints that specify both an input
and output parameter.  clang-13 has a bug[1] that causes compilation of
such inline asm to fail, and KVM wants to use a "+m" constraint to
implement a uaccess form of CMPXCHG[2].  E.g. the test code fails with

  &lt;stdin&gt;:1:29: error: invalid operand in inline asm: '.long (${1:l}) - .'
  int foo(int *x) { asm goto (".long (%l[bar]) - .\n": "+m"(*x) ::: bar); return *x; bar: return 0; }
                            ^
  &lt;stdin&gt;:1:29: error: unknown token in expression
  &lt;inline asm&gt;:1:9: note: instantiated into assembly here
          .long () - .
                 ^
  2 errors generated.

on clang-13, but passes on gcc (with appropriate asm goto support).  The
bug is fixed in clang-14, but won't be backported to clang-13 as the
changes are too invasive/risky.

gcc also had a similar bug[3], fixed in gcc-11, where gcc failed to
account for its behavior of assigning two numbers to tied outputs (one
for input, one for output) when evaluating symbolic references.

  This change is being made to help support LSMs like LoadPin as

  disk and binary blob that is being loaded into the kernel.

  kmod decompression is still done by userspace even with this is done,
  both because there are no measurable gains in not doing so and as it
  adds a secondary extra check for validating the module before loading
  it into the kernel.

  The rest of the changes are minor, the only other change worth
  mentionin there is Jessica Yu is now bowing out of maintenance of
  modules as she's taking a break from work.

  While there were other changes posted for modules, those have not yet
  received much review of testing so I'm not yet comfortable in merging
  any of those changes yet."

Current scheme of having userspace decompress kernel modules before
loading them into the kernel runs afoul of LoadPin security policy, as
it loses link between the source of kernel module on the disk and binary
blob that is being loaded into the kernel. To solve this issue let's
implement decompression in kernel, so that we can pass a file descriptor
of compressed module file into finit_module() which will keep LoadPin
happy.

To let userspace know what compression/decompression scheme kernel
supports it will create /sys/module/compression attribute. kmod can read
this attribute and decide if it can pass compressed file to
finit_module(). New MODULE_INIT_COMPRESSED_DATA flag indicates that the
kernel should attempt to decompress the data read from file descriptor
prior to trying load the module.

To simplify things kernel will only implement single decompression
method matching compression method selected when generating modules.
This patch implements gzip and xz; more can be added later,

 "The most signigicant change here is the addition of a new cpufreq
  'P-state' driver for AMD processors as a better replacement for the
  venerable acpi-cpufreq driver.

  There are also other cpufreq updates (in the core, intel_pstate, ARM
  drivers), PM core updates (mostly related to adding new macros for
  declaring PM operations which should make the lives of driver
  developers somewhat easier), and a bunch of assorted fixes and
  cleanups.

     driver (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Improve IRQ support in the Qcom cpufreq driver (Ard Biesheuvel,

     Wysocki).

   - Add new macros for declaring PM operations to allow drivers to
     avoid guarding them with CONFIG_PM #ifdefs or __maybe_unused and
     update some drivers to use these macros (Paul Cercueil).

   - Allow ACPI hardware signature to be honoured during restore from
     hibernation (David Woodhouse).

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "The most signigicant change here is the addition of a new cpufreq
  'P-state' driver for AMD processors as a better replacement for the
  venerable acpi-cpufreq driver.

  There are also other cpufreq updates (in the core, intel_pstate, ARM
  drivers), PM core updates (mostly related to adding new macros for
  declaring PM operations which should make the lives of driver
  developers somewhat easier), and a bunch of assorted fixes and
  cleanups.
