CPU does not received signals for interrupts with a priority masked by
ICC_PMR_EL1. This means the CPU might not come back from a WFI
instruction.

Make sure ICC_PMR_EL1 does not mask interrupts when doing a WFI.

Since the logic of cpu_do_idle is becoming a bit more complex than just
two instructions, lets turn it from ASM to C.

In order to replace PSR.I interrupt disabling/enabling with ICC_PMR_EL1
interrupt masking, ICC_PMR_EL1 needs to be saved/restored when
taking/returning from an exception. This mimics the way hardware saves
and restores PSR.I bit in spsr_el1 for exceptions and ERET.

Add PMR to the registers to save in the pt_regs struct upon kernel entry,
and restore it before ERET. Also, initialize it to a sane value when
creating new tasks.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Rework of the kprobe/uprobe and synthetic events to consolidate all
   the dynamic event code. This will make changes in the future easier.

 - Partial rewrite of the function graph tracing infrastructure. This
   will allow for multiple users of hooking onto functions to get the
   callback (return) of the function. This is the ground work for having
   kprobes and function graph tracer using one code base.

 - Clean up of the histogram code that will facilitate adding more
   features to the histograms in the future.

 - Addition of str_has_prefix() and a few use cases. There currently is
   a similar function strstart() that is used in a few places, but only
   returns a bool and not a length. These instances will be removed in
   the future to use str_has_prefix() instead.

 - A few other various clean ups as well.

The structure of the ret_stack array on the task struct is going to
change, and accessing it directly via the curr_ret_stack index will no
longer give the ret_stack entry that holds the return address. To access
that, architectures must now use ftrace_graph_get_ret_stack() to get the
associated ret_stack that matches the saved return address.

<content type='text'>
This patch adds basic support for pointer authentication, allowing
userspace to make use of APIAKey, APIBKey, APDAKey, APDBKey, and
APGAKey. The kernel maintains key values for each process (shared by all
threads within), which are initialised to random values at exec() time.

The ID_AA64ISAR1_EL1.{APA,API,GPA,GPI} fields are exposed to userspace,
to describe that pointer authentication instructions are available and
that the kernel is managing the keys. Two new hwcaps are added for the
same reason: PACA (for address authentication) and PACG (for generic
authentication).

<title>arm64: enable per-task stack canaries</title>

This enables the use of per-task stack canary values if GCC has
support for emitting the stack canary reference relative to the
value of sp_el0, which holds the task struct pointer in the arm64
kernel.

The $(eval) extends KBUILD_CFLAGS at the moment the make rule is
applied, which means asm-offsets.o (which we rely on for the offset
value) is built without the arguments, and everything built afterwards
has the options set.

Pull stackleak gcc plugin from Kees Cook:
 "Please pull this new GCC plugin, stackleak, for v4.20-rc1. This plugin
  was ported from grsecurity by Alexander Popov. It provides efficient
  stack content poisoning at syscall exit. This creates a defense
  against at least two classes of flaws:

   - Uninitialized stack usage. (We continue to work on improving the
     compiler to do this in other ways: e.g. unconditional zero init was
     proposed to GCC and Clang, and more plugin work has started too).

   - Stack content exposure. By greatly reducing the lifetime of valid
     stack contents, exposures via either direct read bugs or unknown
     cache side-channels become much more difficult to exploit. This
     complements the existing buddy and heap poisoning options, but
     provides the coverage for stacks.

  The x86 hooks are included in this series (which have been reviewed by
  Ingo, Dave Hansen, and Thomas Gleixner). The arm64 hooks have already
  been merged through the arm64 tree (written by Laura Abbott and
  reviewed by Mark Rutland and Will Deacon).

  With VLAs having been removed this release, there is no need for
  alloca() protection, so it has been removed from the plugin"

On CPUs with support for PSTATE.SSBS, the kernel can toggle the SSBD
state without needing to call into firmware.

This patch hooks into the existing SSBD infrastructure so that SSBS is
used on CPUs that support it, but it's all made horribly complicated by
the very real possibility of big/little systems that don't uniformly
provide the new capability.

This adds support for the STACKLEAK gcc plugin to arm64 by implementing
stackleak_check_alloca(), based heavily on the x86 version, and adding the
two helpers used by the stackleak common code: current_top_of_stack() and
on_thread_stack(). The stack erasure calls are made at syscall returns.
Additionally, this disables the plugin in hypervisor and EFI stub code,
which are out of scope for the protection.
