Patch series "Fix CONFIG_TEST_KMOD with 256kB page size".

The kernel test robot reported a build error [1] from a failed assertion
in fs/btrfs/inode.c with a hexagon randconfig that includes
CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_256KB.  This error is the same one that was addressed
by commit b05fbcc36be1 ("btrfs: disable build on platforms having page
size 256K") but CONFIG_TEST_KMOD selects CONFIG_BTRFS without having the
"page size less than 256kB dependency", which results in the error
reappearing.

The first patch introduces CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_LESS_THAN_256KB by splitting
it off from CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_LESS_THAN_64KB, which was introduced in
commit 1f0e290cc5fd ("arch: Add generic Kconfig option indicating page
size smaller than 64k") for a similar reason in 5.16-rc3.

The second patch uses that configuration option for CONFIG_BTRFS to
reduce duplication.

The third patch resolves the build error by adding
CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_LESS_THAN_256KB as a dependency to CONFIG_TEST_KMOD so
that CONFIG_BTRFS does not get enabled under that invalid configuration.

[1]: https://lore.kernel.org/r/202111270255.UYOoN5VN-lkp@intel.com/

This patch (of 3):

btrfs requires a page size smaller than 256kB.  To use that dependency
in other places, introduce CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_LESS_THAN_256KB and reuse
that dependency in CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_LESS_THAN_64KB.

Check user page table entries at the time they are added and removed.

Allows to synchronously catch memory corruption issues related to double
mapping.

When a pte for an anonymous page is added into page table, we verify
that this pte does not already point to a file backed page, and vice
versa if this is a file backed page that is being added we verify that
this page does not have an anonymous mapping

We also enforce that read-only sharing for anonymous pages is allowed
(i.e.  cow after fork).  All other sharing must be for file pages.

Page table check allows to protect and debug cases where "struct page"
metadata became corrupted for some reason.  For example, when refcnt or
mapcount become invalid.

Pull x86 SGX updates from Borislav Petkov:

 - Add support for handling hw errors in SGX pages: poisoning,
   recovering from poison memory and error injection into SGX pages

 - A bunch of changes to the SGX selftests to simplify and allow of SGX
   features testing without the need of a whole SGX software stack

 - Add a sysfs attribute which is supposed to show the amount of SGX
   memory in a NUMA node, similar to what /proc/meminfo is to normal
   memory

 - The usual bunch of fixes and cleanups too

Pull x86 SGX updates from Borislav Petkov:

 - Add support for handling hw errors in SGX pages: poisoning,
   recovering from poison memory and error injection into SGX pages

 - A bunch of changes to the SGX selftests to simplify and allow of SGX
   features testing without the need of a whole SGX software stack

 - Add a sysfs attribute which is supposed to show the amount of SGX
   memory in a NUMA node, similar to what /proc/meminfo is to normal
   memory

 - The usual bunch of fixes and cleanups too

<title>x86/sgx: Add an attribute for the amount of SGX memory in a NUMA node</title>

<id>50468e4313355b161cac8a5155a45832995b7f25</id>

== Problem ==

The amount of SGX memory on a system is determined by the BIOS and it
varies wildly between systems.  It can be as small as dozens of MB's
and as large as many GB's on servers.  Just like how applications need
to know how much regular RAM is available, enclave builders need to
know how much SGX memory an enclave can consume.

== Solution ==

Introduce a new sysfs file:

	/sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/x86/sgx_total_bytes

to enumerate the amount of SGX memory available in each NUMA node.
This serves the same function for SGX as /proc/meminfo or
/sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/meminfo does for normal RAM.

'sgx_total_bytes' is needed today to help drive the SGX selftests.
SGX-specific swap code is exercised by creating overcommitted enclaves
which are larger than the physical SGX memory on the system.  They
currently use a CPUID-based approach which can diverge from the actual
amount of SGX memory available.  'sgx_total_bytes' ensures that the
selftests can work efficiently and do not attempt stupid things like
creating a 100,000 MB enclave on a system with 128 MB of SGX memory.

== Implementation Details ==

Introduce CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_NODE_DEV_GROUP opt-in flag to expose an
arch specific attribute group, and add an attribute for the amount of
SGX memory in bytes to each NUMA node:

== ABI Design Discussion ==

As opposed to the per-node ABI, a single, global ABI was considered.
However, this would prevent enclaves from being able to size
themselves so that they fit on a single NUMA node.  Essentially, a
single value would rule out NUMA optimizations for enclaves.

Create a new "x86/" directory inside each "nodeX/" sysfs directory.
'sgx_total_bytes' is expected to be the first of at least a few
sgx-specific files to be placed in the new directory.  Just scanning
/proc/meminfo, these are the no-brainers that we have for RAM, but we
need for SGX:

	MemTotal:       xxxx kB // sgx_total_bytes (implemented here)
	MemFree:        yyyy kB // sgx_free_bytes
	SwapTotal:      zzzz kB // sgx_swapped_bytes

So, at *least* three.  I think we will eventually end up needing
something more along the lines of a dozen.  A new directory (as
opposed to being in the nodeX/ "root") directory avoids cluttering the
root with several "sgx_*" files.

Place the new file in a new "nodeX/x86/" directory because SGX is
highly x86-specific.  It is very unlikely that any other architecture
(or even non-Intel x86 vendor) will ever implement SGX.  Using "sgx/"
as opposed to "x86/" was also considered.  But, there is a real chance
this can get used for other arch-specific purposes.

NTFS_RW and VMXNET3 require a page size smaller than 64kB.  Add generic
Kconfig option for use outside architecture code to avoid architecture
specific Kconfig options in that code.

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.
