[ Upstream commit 2cbb20b008dba39893f0e296dc8ca312f40a9a0e ]

CONFIG_TRACE_BRANCH_PROFILING inserts a call to ftrace_likely_update()
for each use of likely() or unlikely().  That breaks noinstr rules if
the affected function is annotated as noinstr.

Disable branch profiling for files with noinstr functions.  In addition
to some individual files, this also includes the entire arch/x86
subtree, as well as the kernel/entry, drivers/cpuidle, and drivers/idle
directories, all of which are noinstr-heavy.

Due to the nature of how sched binaries are built by combining multiple
.c files into one, branch profiling is disabled more broadly across the
sched code than would otherwise be needed.

This fixes many warnings like the following:

  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: do_syscall_64+0x40: call to ftrace_likely_update() leaves .noinstr.text section
  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: __rdgsbase_inactive+0x33: call to ftrace_likely_update() leaves .noinstr.text section
  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: handle_bug.isra.0+0x198: call to ftrace_likely_update() leaves .noinstr.text section
  ...

<title>xarray: port tests to kunit</title>

<id>c7bb5cf9fc4e95dff4a3a34b1d14363a6eebdc84</id>
<content type='text'>
Minimally rewrite the XArray unit tests to use kunit.  This integrates
nicely with existing kunit tools which produce nicer human-readable output
compared to the existing machinery.

Running the xarray tests before this change requires an obscure
invocation

```
tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --arch arm64 --make_options LLVM=1 \
  --kconfig_add CONFIG_TEST_XARRAY=y --raw_output=all nothing
```

which on failure produces

```
BUG at check_reserve:513
...
XArray: 6782340 of 6782364 tests passed
```

and exits 0.

Running the xarray tests after this change requires a simpler invocation

```
tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --arch arm64 --make_options LLVM=1 \
  xarray
```

which on failure produces (colors omitted)

```

[09:50:53] ===================== [FAILED] xarray ======================
```

and exits 1.

Use of richer kunit assertions is intentionally omitted to reduce the
scope of the change.

<id>e47d9b1a76ed78d0d50491f6a7d8ef59e379f45c</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a KUnit test suite for the crc16, crc_t10dif, crc32_le, crc32_be,
crc32c, and crc64_be library functions.  It avoids code duplication by
sharing most logic among all CRC variants.  The test suite includes:

- Differential fuzz test of each CRC function against a simple
  bit-at-a-time reference implementation.
- Test for CRC combination, when implemented by a CRC variant.
- Optional benchmark of each CRC function with various data lengths.

This is intended as a replacement for crc32test and crc16_kunit, as well
as a new test for CRC variants which didn't previously have a test.

<title>lib/crc32: make crc32c() go directly to lib</title>

<content type='text'>
Now that the lower level __crc32c_le() library function is optimized for
each architecture, make crc32c() just call that instead of taking an
inefficient and error-prone detour through the shash API.

Note: a future cleanup should make crc32c_le() be the actual library
function instead of __crc32c_le().  That will require updating callers
of __crc32c_le() to use crc32c_le() instead, and updating callers of
crc32c_le() that expect a 'const void *' arg to expect 'const u8 *'
instead.  Similarly, a future cleanup should remove LIBCRC32C by making
everyone who is selecting it just select CRC32 directly instead.

Pull modules updates from Luis Chamberlain:

 - The whole caching of module code into huge pages by Mike Rapoport is
   going in through Andrew Morton's tree due to some other code
   dependencies. That's really the biggest highlight for Linux kernel
   modules in this release. With it we share huge pages for modules,
   starting off with x86. Expect to see that soon through Andrew!

 - Helge Deller addressed some lingering low hanging fruit alignment
   enhancements by. It is worth pointing out that from his old patch
   series I dropped his vmlinux.lds.h change at Masahiro's request as he
   would prefer this to be specified in asm code [0].

 - Matthew Maurer and Sami Tolvanen have been tag teaming to help get us
   closer to a modversions for Rust. In this cycle we take in quite a
   lot of the refactoring for ELF validation. I expect modversions for
   Rust will be merged by v6.14 as that code is mostly ready now.

 - Adds a new modules selftests: kallsyms which helps us tests
   find_symbol() and the limits of kallsyms on Linux today.

 - We have a realtime mailing list to kernel-ci testing for modules now
   which relies and combines patchwork, kpd and kdevops:

     https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-modules/list/
     https://github.com/linux-kdevops/kdevops/blob/main/docs/kernel-ci/README.md

     https://github.com/linux-kdevops/kdevops/blob/main/docs/kernel-ci/linux-modules-kdevops-ci.md

   If you want to help avoid Linux kernel modules regressions, now its
   simple, just add a new Linux modules sefltests under
   tools/testing/selftests/module/ That is it. All new selftests will be
   used and leveraged automatically by the CI.
