commit 8faea26e611189e933ea2281975ff4dc7c1106b6 upstream.

Commit

  c536ed2fffd5 ("objtool: Remove SAVE/RESTORE hints")

removed the save/restore unwind hints because they were no longer
needed. Now they're going to be needed again so re-add them.

<title>objtool: Add entry UNRET validation</title>

commit a09a6e2399ba0595c3042b3164f3ca68a3cff33e upstream.

Since entry asm is tricky, add a validation pass that ensures the
retbleed mitigation has been done before the first actual RET
instruction.

Entry points are those that either have UNWIND_HINT_ENTRY, which acts
as UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY but marks the instruction as an entry point, or
those that have UWIND_HINT_IRET_REGS at +0.

This is basically a variant of validate_branch() that is
intra-function and it will simply follow all branches from marked
entry points and ensures that all paths lead to ANNOTATE_UNRET_END.

If a path hits RET or an indirection the path is a fail and will be
reported.

There are 3 ANNOTATE_UNRET_END instances:

 - UNTRAIN_RET itself
 - exception from-kernel; this path doesn't need UNTRAIN_RET
 - all early exceptions; these also don't need UNTRAIN_RET

<title>x86/ftrace: Remove OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD usage</title>

[ Upstream commit 7b6c7a877cc616bc7dc9cd39646fe454acbed48b ]

The file-wide OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD annotation is used with
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER to tell objtool to skip the entire file when frame
pointers are enabled.  However that annotation is now deprecated because
it doesn't work with IBT, where objtool runs on vmlinux.o instead of
individual translation units.

Instead, use more fine-grained function-specific annotations:

- The 'save_mcount_regs' macro does funny things with the frame pointer.
  Use STACK_FRAME_NON_STANDARD_FP to tell objtool to ignore the
  functions using it.

- The return_to_handler() "function" isn't actually a callable function.
  Instead of being called, it's returned to.  The real return address
  isn't on the stack, so unwinding is already doomed no matter which
  unwinder is used.  So just remove the STT_FUNC annotation, telling
  objtool to ignore it.  That also removes the implicit
  ANNOTATE_NOENDBR, which now needs to be made explicit.

Fixes the following warning:

  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: __fentry__+0x16: return with modified stack frame

   - Add --synth=no option for record, as there is no need to symbolize,
     lock names comes from the tracepoints.

  perf record:

   - Threaded recording, opt-in, via the new --threads command line
     option.

   - Improve AMD IBS (Instruction-Based Sampling) error handling
     messages.

  perf script:

   - Add 'brstackinsnlen' field (use it with -F) for branch stacks.

   - Output branch sample type in 'perf script'.

  perf report:

   - Add "addr_from" and "addr_to" sort dimensions.

   - Print branch stack entry type in 'perf report --dump-raw-trace'

   - Fix symbolization for chrooted workloads.

  Hardware tracing:

  Intel PT:

   - Add CFE (Control Flow Event) and EVD (Event Data) packets support.

   - Add MODE.Exec IFLAG bit support.

      "32.2.4

       Event Trace is a capability that exposes details about the
       asynchronous events, when they are generated, and when their
       corresponding software event handler completes execution. These
       include:

        o Interrupts, including NMI and SMI, including the interrupt
          vector when defined.

        o Faults, exceptions including the fault vector.

           - Page faults additionally include the page fault address,
             when in context.

        o Event handler returns, including IRET and RSM.

        o VM exits and VM entries.¹

           - VM exits include the values written to the “exit reason”
             and “exit qualification” VMCS fields. INIT and SIPI events.

        o TSX aborts, including the abort status returned for the RTM
          instructions.

        o Shutdown.

       Additionally, it provides indication of the status of the
       Interrupt Flag (IF), to indicate when interrupts are masked"

   - Add --synth=no option for record, as there is no need to symbolize,
     lock names comes from the tracepoints.

  perf record:

   - Threaded recording, opt-in, via the new --threads command line
     option.

   - Improve AMD IBS (Instruction-Based Sampling) error handling
     messages.

  perf script:

   - Add 'brstackinsnlen' field (use it with -F) for branch stacks.

   - Output branch sample type in 'perf script'.

  perf report:

   - Add "addr_from" and "addr_to" sort dimensions.

   - Print branch stack entry type in 'perf report --dump-raw-trace'

   - Fix symbolization for chrooted workloads.

  Hardware tracing:

  Intel PT:

   - Add CFE (Control Flow Event) and EVD (Event Data) packets support.

   - Add MODE.Exec IFLAG bit support.

Pull x86 CET-IBT (Control-Flow-Integrity) support from Peter Zijlstra:
 "Add support for Intel CET-IBT, available since Tigerlake (11th gen),
  which is a coarse grained, hardware based, forward edge
  Control-Flow-Integrity mechanism where any indirect CALL/JMP must
  target an ENDBR instruction or suffer #CP.

  Additionally, since Alderlake (12th gen)/Sapphire-Rapids, speculation
  is limited to 2 instructions (and typically fewer) on branch targets
  not starting with ENDBR. CET-IBT also limits speculation of the next
  sequential instruction after the indirect CALL/JMP [1].

  CET-IBT is fundamentally incompatible with retpolines, but provides,
  as described above, speculation limits itself"

<title>linux/types.h: remove unnecessary __bitwise__</title>

There are no users of "__bitwise__" except the definition of
"__bitwise".  Remove __bitwise__ and define __bitwise directly.

This is a follow-up to 05de97003c77 ("linux/types.h: enable endian
checks for all sparse builds").

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: change the tools/include/linux/types.h definition also]

Because we need a variant for .S files too.

In order to have objtool warn about code references to !ENDBR
instruction, we need an annotation to allow this for non-control-flow
instances -- consider text range checks, text patching, or return
trampolines etc.
