[ Upstream commit 82880283d7fcd0a1d20964a56d6d1a5cc0df0713 ]

On GCC 12, the build fails due to a possible truncated string:

    check.c: In function 'validate_call':
    check.c:2865:58: error: '%d' directive output may be truncated writing between 1 and 10 bytes into a region of size 9 [-Werror=format-truncation=]
     2865 |                 snprintf(pvname, sizeof(pvname), "pv_ops[%d]", idx);
          |                                                          ^~

In theory it's a valid bug:

    static char pvname[16];
    int idx;
    ...
    idx = (rel-&gt;addend / sizeof(void *));
    snprintf(pvname, sizeof(pvname), "pv_ops[%d]", idx);

There are only 7 chars for %d while it could take up to 9, so the
printed "pv_ops[%d]" string could get truncated.

In reality the bug should never happen, because pv_ops only has ~80
entries, so 7 chars for the integer is more than enough.  Still, it's
worth fixing.  Bump the buffer size by 2 bytes to silence the warning.

[ jpoimboe: changed size to 19; massaged changelog ]

Add a few signature bytes after the static call trampoline and verify
those bytes match before patching the trampoline. This avoids patching
random other JMPs (such as CFI jump-table entries) instead.

These bytes decode as:

   d:   53                      push   %rbx
   e:   43 54                   rex.XB push %r12

And happen to spell "SCT".

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - kprobes: Restructured stack unwinder to show properly on x86 when a
   stack dump happens from a kretprobe callback.

 - Fix to bootconfig parsing

 - Have tracefs allow owner and group permissions by default (only
   denying others). There's been pressure to allow non root to tracefs
   in a controlled fashion, and using groups is probably the safest.

 - Bootconfig memory managament updates.

 - Bootconfig clean up to have the tools directory be less dependent on
   changes in the kernel tree.

 - Allow perf to be traced by function tracer.

 - Rewrite of function graph tracer to be a callback from the function
   tracer instead of having its own trampoline (this change will happen
   on an arch by arch basis, and currently only x86_64 implements it).

 - Allow multiple direct trampolines (bpf hooks to functions) be batched
   together in one synchronization.

 - Allow histogram triggers to add variables that can perform
   calculations against the event's fields.

 - Use the linker to determine architecture callbacks from the ftrace
   trampoline to allow for proper parameter prototypes and prevent
   warnings from the compiler.

 - Extend histogram triggers to key off of variables.

 - Have trace recursion use bit magic to determine preempt context over
   if branches.

 - Have trace recursion disable preemption as all use cases do anyway.

 - Added testing for verification of tracing utilities.

 - Various small clean ups and fixes.

Instead of writing complete alternatives, simply provide a list of all
the retpoline thunk calls. Then the kernel is free to do with them as
it pleases. Simpler code all-round.

Any one instruction can only ever call a single function, therefore
insn-&gt;mcount_loc_node is superfluous and can use insn-&gt;call_node.

This shrinks struct instruction, which is by far the most numerous
structure objtool creates.

The section structure already contains sh_size, so just remove the extra
'len' member that requires extra mirroring and potential confusion.
