Commit 2d071968a405 ("arm64: compat: Remove 32-bit sigreturn code
from the vDSO") removed all VDSO_* symbols in the compat vDSO. As a
result, vdso32-offsets.h is now empty and therefore unused. Time to
remove it.

  ioremap_uc() definition from everything except x86, which still needs
  it for pre-PAT systems. This series notably contains a patch from
  Jiaxun Yang that converts MIPS to use asm-generic/io.h like every
  other architecture does, enabling future cleanups.

  Some of my own patches fix -Wmissing-prototype warnings in
  architecture specific code across several architectures. This is now
  needed as the warning is enabled by default. There are still some
  remaining warnings in minor platforms, but the series should catch
  most of the widely used ones make them more consistent with one
  another.

  David McKay fixes a bug in __generic_cmpxchg_local() when this is used
  on 64-bit architectures. This could currently only affect parisc64 and
  sparc64.

'make vdso_install' renames arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/vdso.so.dbg to
vdso32.so during installation, which allows 64-bit and 32-bit vdso
files to be installed in the same directory.

However, arm64 is the only architecture that requires this renaming.

To simplify the vdso_install logic, rename the in-tree vdso file so
its base name matches the installed file name.

After commit 42874e4eb35b ("arch: vdso: consolidate gettime
prototypes"), there are a couple of errors when building the 32-bit
compat vDSO for arm64:

  arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/vgettimeofday.c:10:5: error: conflicting types for '__vdso_clock_gettime'; have 'int(clockid_t,  struct old_timespec32 *)' {aka 'int(int,  struct old_timespec32 *)'}

The type of the second parameter in __vdso_clock_getres() and
__vdso_clock_gettime() changes based on whether compiling for 32-bit vs.
64-bit, which is controlled by CONFIG_64BIT or the preprocessor macro
BUILD_VDSO32_64, which denotes a 32-bit vDSO is being built for a 64-bit
architecture. Since this situation is the latter case, define
BUILD_VDSO32_64 before the inclusion of include/vdso/gettime.h to clear
up the warning

The VDSO functions are defined as globals in the kernel sources but intended
to be called from userspace, so there is no need to declare them in a kernel
side header.

Without a prototype, this now causes warnings such as

arch/mips/vdso/vgettimeofday.c:14:5: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_clock_gettime' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/mips/vdso/vgettimeofday.c:28:5: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_gettimeofday' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/mips/vdso/vgettimeofday.c:36:5: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_clock_getres' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/mips/vdso/vgettimeofday.c:42:5: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_clock_gettime64' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/sparc/vdso/vclock_gettime.c:254:1: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_clock_gettime' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/sparc/vdso/vclock_gettime.c:282:1: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_clock_gettime_stick' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/sparc/vdso/vclock_gettime.c:307:1: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_gettimeofday' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/sparc/vdso/vclock_gettime.c:343:1: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_gettimeofday_stick' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]

Most architectures have already added workarounds for these by adding
declarations somewhere, but since these are all compatible, we should
really just have one copy, with an #ifdef check for the 32-bit vs
64-bit variant and use that everywhere.

Unfortunately, the sparc an um versions are currently incompatible
since they never added support for __vdso_clock_gettime64() in 32-bit
userland. For the moment, I'm leaving this one out, as I can't
easily test it and it requires a larger rework.

<title>kbuild: unify vdso_install rules</title>

<id>56769ba4b297a629148eb24d554aef72d1ddfd9e</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, there is no standard implementation for vdso_install,
leading to various issues:

 1. Code duplication

    Many architectures duplicate similar code just for copying files
    to the install destination.

    Some architectures (arm, sparc, x86) create build-id symlinks,
    introducing more code duplication.

 2. Unintended updates of in-tree build artifacts

    The vdso_install rule depends on the vdso files to install.
    It may update in-tree build artifacts. This can be problematic,
    as explained in commit 19514fc665ff ("arm, kbuild: make
    "make install" not depend on vmlinux").

 3. Broken code in some architectures

    Makefile code is often copied from one architecture to another
    without proper adaptation.

    'make vdso_install' for parisc does not work.

    'make vdso_install' for s390 installs vdso64, but not vdso32.

To address these problems, this commit introduces a generic vdso_install
rule.

Architectures that support vdso_install need to define vdso-install-y
in arch/*/Makefile. vdso-install-y lists the files to install.

For example, arch/x86/Makefile looks like this:

  vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_64)           += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso64.so.dbg
  vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI)      += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdsox32.so.dbg
  vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_32)           += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg
  vdso-install-$(CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION)   += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg

These files will be installed to $(MODLIB)/vdso/ with the .dbg suffix,
if exists, stripped away.

vdso-install-y can optionally take the second field after the colon
separator. This is needed because some architectures install a vdso
file as a different base name.

The following is a snippet from arch/arm64/Makefile.

  vdso-install-$(CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO)      += arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/vdso.so.dbg:vdso32.so

This will rename vdso.so.dbg to vdso32.so during installation. If such
architectures change their implementation so that the base names match,
this workaround will go away.

  vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_64)           += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso64.so.dbg
  vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI)      += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdsox32.so.dbg
  vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_32)           += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg
  vdso-install-$(CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION)   += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg

These files will be installed to $(MODLIB)/vdso/ with the .dbg suffix,
if exists, stripped away.

vdso-install-y can optionally take the second field after the colon
separator. This is needed because some architectures install a vdso
file as a different base name.

The following is a snippet from arch/arm64/Makefile.

  vdso-install-$(CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO)      += arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/vdso.so.dbg:vdso32.so

This will rename vdso.so.dbg to vdso32.so during installation. If such
architectures change their implementation so that the base names match,
this workaround will go away.

With the advent on scope-based resource management it comes really
tedious to abide by the contraints of -Wdeclaration-after-statement.

It will still be recommeneded to place declarations at the start of a
scope where possible, but it will no longer be enforced.

<title>vdso: Improve cmd_vdso_check to check all dynamic relocations</title>

<id>aff69273af61f5d1c8fb401d6f19148d11629b41</id>
<content type='text'>
The actual intention is that no dynamic relocation exists in the VDSO. For
this the VDSO build validates that the resulting .so file does not have any
relocations which are specified via $(ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS) per architecture,
which is fragile as e.g. ARM64 lacks an entry for R_AARCH64_RELATIVE. Aside
of that ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS is a misnomer as it checks for relative
relocations too.

However, some GNU ld ports produce unneeded R_*_NONE relocation entries. If
a port fails to determine the exact .rel[a].dyn size, the trailing zeros
become R_*_NONE relocations. E.g. ld's powerpc port recently fixed
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29540). R_*_NONE are
generally a no-op in the dynamic loaders. So just ignore them.

Remove the ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS defines and just validate that the resulting
.so file does not contain any R_* relocation entries except R_*_NONE.

<title>kbuild: upgrade the orphan section warning to an error if CONFIG_WERROR is set</title>

Andrew Cooper suggested upgrading the orphan section warning to a hard link
error. However Nathan Chancellor said outright turning the warning into an
error with no escape hatch might be too aggressive, as we have had these
warnings triggered by new compiler generated sections, and suggested turning
orphan sections into an error only if CONFIG_WERROR is set. Kees Cook echoed
and emphasized that the mandate from Linus is that we should avoid breaking
builds. It wrecks bisection, it causes problems across compiler versions, etc.

Thus upgrade the orphan section warning to a hard link error only if
CONFIG_WERROR is set.

When building the 32-bit vDSO with LLVM 15 and CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO, there
are the following orphan section warnings:

  ld.lld: warning: arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/note.o:(.debug_abbrev) is being placed in '.debug_abbrev'
  ld.lld: warning: arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/note.o:(.debug_info) is being placed in '.debug_info'

These are DWARF5 sections, as that is the implicit default version for
clang-14 and newer when just '-g' is used. All DWARF sections are
handled by the DWARF_DEBUG macro from include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h
so use that macro here to fix the warnings regardless of DWARF version.
