vdso_install' installs the 32-bit compat vdso when it is compiled.

Pull arm64 and cross-arch updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "Here's a slightly wider-spread set of updates for 5.9.

  Going outside the usual arch/arm64/ area is the removal of
  read_barrier_depends() series from Will and the MSI/IOMMU ID
  translation series from Lorenzo.

  The notable arm64 updates include ARMv8.4 TLBI range operations and
  translation level hint, time namespace support, and perf.

  Summary:

   - Removal of the tremendously unpopular read_barrier_depends()
     barrier, which is a NOP on all architectures apart from Alpha, in
     favour of allowing architectures to override READ_ONCE() and do
     whatever dance they need to do to ensure address dependencies
     provide LOAD -&gt; LOAD/STORE ordering.

     This work also offers a potential solution if compilers are shown
     to convert LOAD -&gt; LOAD address dependencies into control
     dependencies (e.g. under LTO), as weakly ordered architectures will
     effectively be able to upgrade READ_ONCE() to smp_load_acquire().
     The latter case is not used yet, but will be discussed further at
     LPC.

   - Make the MSI/IOMMU input/output ID translation PCI agnostic,
     augment the MSI/IOMMU ACPI/OF ID mapping APIs to accept an input ID
     bus-specific parameter and apply the resulting changes to the
     device ID space provided by the Freescale FSL bus.

   - arm64 support for TLBI range operations and translation table level
     hints (part of the ARMv8.4 architecture version).

   - Time namespace support for arm64.

   - Export the virtual and physical address sizes in vmcoreinfo for
     makedumpfile and crash utilities.

   - CPU feature handling cleanups and checks for programmer errors
     (overlapping bit-fields).

   - ACPI updates for arm64: disallow AML accesses to EFI code regions
     and kernel memory.

   - perf updates for arm64.

   - Miscellaneous fixes and cleanups, most notably PLT counting
     optimisation for module loading, recordmcount fix to ignore
     relocations other than R_AARCH64_CALL26, CMA areas reserved for
     gigantic pages on 16K and 64K configurations.

   - Trivial typos, duplicate words"

<title>arm64/vdso: Add time namespace page</title>

<id>3503d56cc7233ced602e38a4c13caa64f00ab2aa</id>
<content type='text'>
Allocate the time namespace page among VVAR pages.  Provide
__arch_get_timens_vdso_data() helper for VDSO code to get the
code-relative position of VVARs on that special page.

If a task belongs to a time namespace then the VVAR page which contains
the system wide VDSO data is replaced with a namespace specific page
which has the same layout as the VVAR page. That page has vdso_data-&gt;seq
set to 1 to enforce the slow path and vdso_data-&gt;clock_mode set to
VCLOCK_TIMENS to enforce the time namespace handling path.

The extra check in the case that vdso_data-&gt;seq is odd, e.g. a concurrent
update of the VDSO data is in progress, is not really affecting regular
tasks which are not part of a time namespace as the task is spin waiting
for the update to finish and vdso_data-&gt;seq to become even again.

If a time namespace task hits that code path, it invokes the corresponding
time getter function which retrieves the real VVAR page, reads host time
and then adds the offset for the requested clock which is stored in the
special VVAR page.

The time-namespace page isn't allocated on !CONFIG_TIME_NAMESPACE, but
vma is the same size, which simplifies criu/vdso migration between
different kernel configs.

Newer versions of clang only look for $(COMPAT_GCC_TOOLCHAIN_DIR)as [1],
rather than $(COMPAT_GCC_TOOLCHAIN_DIR)$(CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT)as,
resulting in the following build error:

$ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- \
CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT=arm-linux-gnueabi- LLVM=1 O=out/aarch64 distclean \

make[3]: *** [arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/Makefile:181: arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/note.o] Error 1
...

Adding the value of CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT (adding notdir to account for a
full path for CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT) fixes this issue, which matches the
solution done for the main Makefile [2].

Allow the compat vdso (32b) to be compiled as either THUMB2 (default) or
ARM.

For THUMB2, the register r7 is reserved for the frame pointer, but
code in arch/arm64/include/asm/vdso/compat_gettimeofday.h
uses r7. Explicitly set -fomit-frame-pointer, since unwinding through
interworked THUMB2 and ARM is unreliable anyways. See also how
CONFIG_UNWINDER_FRAME_POINTER cannot be selected for
CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL for ARCH=arm.

This also helps toolchains that differ in their implicit value if the
choice of -f{no-}omit-frame-pointer is left unspecified, to not error on
the use of r7.

2019 Q4 ARM AAPCS seeks to standardize the use of r11 as the reserved
frame pointer register, but no production compiler that can compile the
Linux kernel currently implements this.  We're actively discussing such
a transition with ARM toolchain developers currently.

Daniel reports that the .cfi_startproc is misplaced for the sigreturn
trampoline, which causes LLVM's unwinder to misbehave:

  | I run into this with LLVM’s unwinder.
  | This combination was always broken.

This prompted Dave to question our use of CFI directives more generally,
and I ended up going down a rabbit hole trying to figure out how this
very poorly documented stuff gets used.

Move the CFI directives so that the "mysterious NOP" is included in
the .cfi_{start,end}proc block and add a bunch of comments so that I
can save myself another headache in future.

<title>arm64: vdso: Don't prefix sigreturn trampoline with a BTI C instruction</title>

For better or worse, GDB relies on the exact instruction sequence in the
VDSO sigreturn trampoline in order to unwind from signals correctly.
Commit c91db232da48 ("arm64: vdso: Convert to modern assembler annotations")
unfortunately added a BTI C instruction to the start of __kernel_rt_sigreturn,
which breaks this check. Thankfully, it's also not required, since the
trampoline is called from a RET instruction when returning from the signal
handler

Remove the unnecessary BTI C instruction from __kernel_rt_sigreturn,
and do the same for the 32-bit VDSO as well for good measure.

Pull SPDX updates from Greg KH:
 "Here are three SPDX patches for 5.7-rc1.

  One fixes up the SPDX tag for a single driver, while the other two go
  through the tree and add SPDX tags for all of the .gitignore files as
  needed.

  Nothing too complex, but you will get a merge conflict with your
  current tree, that should be trivial to handle (one file modified by
  two things, one file deleted.)

  All three of these have been in linux-next for a while, with no
  reported issues other than the merge conflict"

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "The bulk is in-kernel pointer authentication, activity monitors and
  lots of asm symbol annotations. I also queued the sys_mremap() patch
  commenting the asymmetry in the address untagging.

  Summary:

   - In-kernel Pointer Authentication support (previously only offered
     to user space).

   - ARM Activity Monitors (AMU) extension support allowing better CPU
     utilisation numbers for the scheduler (frequency invariance).

   - Memory hot-remove support for arm64.

   - Lots of asm annotations (SYM_*) in preparation for the in-kernel
     Branch Target Identification (BTI) support.

   - arm64 perf updates: ARMv8.5-PMU 64-bit counters, refactoring the
     PMU init callbacks, support for new DT compatibles.

   - IPv6 header checksum optimisation.

   - Fixes: SDEI (software delegated exception interface) double-lock on
     hibernate with shared events.

   - Minor clean-ups and refactoring: cpu_ops accessor,
     cpu_do_switch_mm() converted to C, cpufeature finalisation helper.

   - sys_mremap() comment explaining the asymmetric address untagging
     behaviour"
