<id>aacd149b62382c63911060b8f64c1e3d89bd405a</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, when KASLR is in effect, we set up the kernel virtual address
space twice: the first time, the KASLR seed is looked up in the device
tree, and the kernel virtual mapping is torn down and recreated again,
after which the relocations are applied a second time. The latter step
means that statically initialized global pointer variables will be reset
to their initial values, and to ensure that BSS variables are not set to
values based on the initial translation, they are cleared again as well.

All of this is needed because we need the command line (taken from the
DT) to tell us whether or not to randomize the virtual address space
before entering the kernel proper. However, this code has expanded
little by little and now creates global state unrelated to the virtual
randomization of the kernel before the mapping is torn down and set up
again, and the BSS cleared for a second time. This has created some
issues in the past, and it would be better to avoid this little dance if
possible.

So instead, let's use the temporary mapping of the device tree, and
execute the bare minimum of code to decide whether or not KASLR should
be enabled, and what the seed is. Only then, create the virtual kernel
mapping, clear BSS, etc and proceed as normal.  This avoids the issues
around inconsistent global state due to BSS being cleared twice, and is
generally more maintainable, as it permits us to defer all the remaining
DT parsing and KASLR initialization to a later time.

This means the relocation fixup code runs only a single time as well,
allowing us to simplify the RELR handling code too, which is not
idempotent and was therefore required to keep track of the offset that
was applied the first time around.

Note that this means we have to clone a pair of FDT library objects, so
that we can control how they are built - we need the stack protector
and other instrumentation disabled so that the code can tolerate being
called this early. Note that only the kernel page tables and the
temporary stack are mapped read-write at this point, which ensures that
the early code does not modify any global state inadvertently.

Disable KASAN instrumentation of arch/arm64/kernel/stacktrace.c.

This speeds up Generic KASAN by 5-20%.

As a side-effect, KASAN is now unable to detect bugs in the stack trace
collection code. This is taken as an acceptable downside.

Also replace READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() with READ_ONCE() in stacktrace.c.
As the file is now not instrumented, there is no need to use the
NOCHECK version of READ_ONCE().

There is currently no dependency for vdso*-wrap.S on vdso*.so, which means that
you can get a build that uses a stale vdso*-wrap.o.

In commit a5b8ca97fbf8, the file that includes the vdso.so was moved and renamed
from arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vdso.S to arch/arm64/kernel/vdso-wrap.S, when this
happened the Makefile was not updated to force the dependcy on vdso.so.

For each vma mapped with PROT_MTE (the VM_MTE flag set), generate a
PT_ARM_MEMTAG_MTE segment in the core file and dump the corresponding
tags. The in-file size for such segments is 128 bytes per page.

For pages in a VM_MTE vma which are not present in the user page tables
or don't have the PG_mte_tagged flag set (e.g. execute-only), just write
zeros in the core file.

An example of program headers for two vmas, one 2-page, the other 4-page
long:

  Type           Offset   VirtAddr           PhysAddr           FileSiz  MemSiz   Flg Align

Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.rst suggests to use "archclean" for
cleaning arch/$(SRCARCH)/boot/, but it is not a hard requirement.

Since commit d92cc4d51643 ("kbuild: require all architectures to have
arch/$(SRCARCH)/Kbuild"), we can use the "subdir- += boot" trick for
all architectures. This can take advantage of the parallel option (-j)
for "make clean".

I also cleaned up the comments in arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile. The "archdep"
target no longer exists.

We suppress KCOV for entry.o rather than entry-common.o. As entry.o is
built from entry.S, this is pointless, and permits instrumentation of
entry-common.o, which is built from entry-common.c.

Fix the Makefile to suppress KCOV for entry-common.o, as we had intended
to begin with. I've verified with objdump that this is working as
expected.

<title>arm64: idle: don't instrument idle code with KCOV</title>

The low-level idle code in arch_cpu_idle() and its callees runs at a
time where where portions of the kernel environment aren't available.
For example, RCU may not be watching, and lockdep state may be
out-of-sync with the hardware. Due to this, it is not sound to
instrument this code.

We generally avoid instrumentation by marking the entry functions as
`noinstr`, but currently this doesn't inhibit KCOV instrumentation.
Prevent this by factoring these functions into a new idle.c so that we
can disable KCOV for the entire compilation unit, as is done for the
core idle code in kernel/sched/idle.c.

We'd like to keep instrumentation of the rest of process.c, and for the
existing code in cpuidle.c, so a new compilation unit is preferable. The
arch_cpu_idle_dead() function in process.c is a cpu hotplug function
that is safe to instrument, so it is left as-is in process.c.

The code in entry-common.c runs at exception entry and return
boundaries, where portions of the kernel environment aren't available.
For example, RCU may not be watching, and lockdep state may be
out-of-sync with the hardware. Due to this, it is not sound to
instrument this code.
