As pointed out by Evgenii Stepanov one potential issue with the new ABI for
enabling asymmetric is that if there are multiple places where MTE is
configured in a process, some of which were compiled with the old prctl.h
and some of which were compiled with the new prctl.h, there may be problems
keeping track of which MTE modes are requested. For example some code may
disable only sync and async modes leaving asymmetric mode enabled when it
intended to fully disable MTE.

In order to avoid such mishaps remove asymmetric mode from the prctl(),
instead implicitly allowing it if both sync and async modes are requested.
This should not disrupt userspace since a process requesting both may
already see a mix of sync and async modes due to differing defaults between
CPUs or changes in default while the process is running but it does mean
that userspace is unable to explicitly request asymmetric mode without
changing the system default for CPUs.

<title>arm64/mte: Add userspace interface for enabling asymmetric mode</title>

<id>766121ba5de38a6f67980ec24a6af76c55def100</id>
<content type='text'>
The architecture provides an asymmetric mode for MTE where tag mismatches
are checked asynchronously for stores but synchronously for loads. Allow
userspace processes to select this and make it available as a default mode
via the existing per-CPU sysfs interface.

Since there PR_MTE_TCF_ values are a bitmask (allowing the kernel to choose
between the multiple modes) and there are no free bits adjacent to the
existing PR_MTE_TCF_ bits the set of bits used to specify the mode becomes
disjoint. Programs using the new interface should be aware of this and
programs that do not use it will not see any change in behaviour.

When userspace requests two possible modes but the system default for the
CPU is the third mode (eg, default is synchronous but userspace requests
either asynchronous or asymmetric) the preference order is:

   ASYMM &gt; ASYNC &gt; SYNC

This situation is not currently possible since there are only two modes and
it is mandatory to have a system default so there could be no ambiguity and
there is no ABI change. The chosen order is basically arbitrary as we do not
have a clear metric for what is better here.

If userspace requests specifically asymmetric mode via the prctl() and the
system does not support it then we will return an error, this mirrors
how we handle the case where userspace enables MTE on a system that does
not support MTE at all and the behaviour that will be seen if running on
an older kernel that does not support userspace use of asymmetric mode.

Attempts to set asymmetric mode as the default mode will result in an error
if the system does not support it.

The erratum 1418040 workaround enables CNTVCT_EL1 access trapping in EL0
when executing compat threads. The workaround is applied when switching
between tasks, but the need for the workaround could also change at an
exec(), when a non-compat task execs a compat binary or vice versa. Apply
the workaround in arch_setup_new_exec().

This leaves a small window of time between SET_PERSONALITY and
arch_setup_new_exec where preemption could occur and confuse the old
workaround logic that compares TIF_32BIT between prev and next. Instead, we
can just read cntkctl to make sure it's in the state that the next task
needs. I measured cntkctl read time to be about the same as a mov from a
general-purpose register on N1. Update the workaround logic to examine the
current value of cntkctl instead of the previous task's compat state.

<title>arm64: Make __get_wchan() use arch_stack_walk()</title>

<id>4f62bb7cb165f3e7b0a91279fe9dd5c56daf3457</id>
<content type='text'>
To enable RELIABLE_STACKTRACE and LIVEPATCH on arm64, we need to
substantially rework arm64's unwinding code. As part of this, we want to
minimize the set of unwind interfaces we expose, and avoid open-coding
of unwind logic outside of stacktrace.c.

Currently, __get_wchan() walks the stack of a blocked task by calling
start_backtrace() with the task's saved PC and FP values, and iterating
unwind steps using unwind_frame(). The initialization is functionally
equivalent to calling arch_stack_walk() with the blocked task, which
will start with the task's saved PC and FP values.

Currently __get_wchan() always performs an initial unwind step, which
will stkip __switch_to(), but as this is now marked as a __sched
function, this no longer needs special handling and will be skipped in
the same way as other sched functions.

Make __get_wchan() use arch_stack_walk(). This simplifies __get_wchan(),
and in future will alow us to make unwind_frame() private to
stacktrace.c. At the same time, we can simplify the try_get_task_stack()
check and avoid the unnecessary `stack_page` variable.

The change to the skipping logic means we may terminate one frame
earlier than previously where there are an excessive number of sched
functions in the trace, but this isn't seen in practice, and wchan is
best-effort anyway, so this should not be a problem.

Other than the above, there should be no functional change as a result
of this patch.

To enable RELIABLE_STACKTRACE and LIVEPATCH on arm64, we need to
substantially rework arm64's unwinding code. As part of this, we want to
minimize the set of unwind interfaces we expose, and avoid open-coding
of unwind logic outside of stacktrace.c.

Currently, __get_wchan() walks the stack of a blocked task by calling
start_backtrace() with the task's saved PC and FP values, and iterating
unwind steps using unwind_frame(). The initialization is functionally
equivalent to calling arch_stack_walk() with the blocked task, which
will start with the task's saved PC and FP values.

Currently __get_wchan() always performs an initial unwind step, which
will stkip __switch_to(), but as this is now marked as a __sched
function, this no longer needs special handling and will be skipped in
the same way as other sched functions.

Make __get_wchan() use arch_stack_walk(). This simplifies __get_wchan(),
and in future will alow us to make unwind_frame() private to
stacktrace.c. At the same time, we can simplify the try_get_task_stack()
check and avoid the unnecessary `stack_page` variable.

The change to the skipping logic means we may terminate one frame
earlier than previously where there are an excessive number of sched
functions in the trace, but this isn't seen in practice, and wchan is
best-effort anyway, so this should not be a problem.

Other than the above, there should be no functional change as a result
of this patch.

<title>arm64: Mark __switch_to() as __sched</title>

<content type='text'>
Unlike most architectures (and only in keeping with powerpc), arm64 has
a non __sched() function on the path to our cpu_switch_to() assembly
function.

It is expected that for a blocked task, in_sched_functions() can be used
to skip all functions between the raw context switch assembly and the
scheduler functions that call into __switch_to(). This is the behaviour
expected by stack_trace_consume_entry_nosched(), and the behaviour we'd
like to have such that we an simplify arm64's __get_wchan()
implementation to use arch_stack_walk().

This patch mark's arm64's __switch_to as __sched. This *will not* change
the behaviour of arm64's current __get_wchan() implementation, which
always performs an initial unwind step which skips __switch_to(). This
*will* change the behaviour of stack_trace_consume_entry_nosched() and
stack_trace_save_tsk() to match their expected behaviour on blocked
tasks, skipping all scheduler-internal functions including
__switch_to().

Other than the above, there should be no functional change as a result
of this patch.

Having a stable wchan means the process must be blocked and for it to
stay that way while performing stack unwinding.

__stack_chk_guard is setup once while init stage and never changed
after that.

Although the modification of this variable at runtime will usually
cause the kernel to crash (so does the attacker), it should be marked
as __ro_after_init, and it should not affect performance if it is
placed in the ro_after_init section.

Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - Add -s option (strict mode) to merge_config.sh to make it fail when
   any symbol is redefined.

 - Show a warning if a different compiler is used for building external
   modules.

 - Infer --target from ARCH for CC=clang to let you cross-compile the
   kernel without CROSS_COMPILE.

 - Make the integrated assembler default (LLVM_IAS=1) for CC=clang.

 - Add &lt;linux/stdarg.h&gt; to the kernel source instead of borrowing
   &lt;stdarg.h&gt; from the compiler.

 - Add Nick Desaulniers as a Kbuild reviewer.

 - Drop stale cc-option tests.

 - Fix the combination of CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS and CONFIG_LTO_CLANG
   to handle symbols in inline assembly.

 - Show a warning if 'FORCE' is missing for if_changed rules.

 - Various cleanups
