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.

Commit 87676cfca141 ("arm64: vdso: Disable dwarf unwinding through the
sigreturn trampoline") unconditionally passes the '--no-eh-frame-hdr'
option to the linker when building the native vDSO in an attempt to
prevent generation of the .eh_frame_hdr section, the presence of which
has been implicated in segfaults originating from the libgcc unwinder.

Unfortunately, not all versions of binutils support this option, which
has been shown to cause build failures in linux-next:

  |   CALL    scripts/atomic/check-atomics.sh
  |   CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  |   LD      arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vdso.so.dbg
  | ld: unrecognized option '--no-eh-frame-hdr'
  | ld: use the --help option for usage information

  | arch/arm64/Makefile:175: recipe for target 'vdso_prepare' failed
  | make: *** [vdso_prepare] Error 2

Only link the vDSO with '--no-eh-frame-hdr' when the linker supports it.
If we end up with the section due to linker defaults, the absence of CFI
information in the sigreturn trampoline will prevent the unwinder from
breaking.

Commit 7e9f5e6629f6 ("arm64: vdso: Add --eh-frame-hdr to ldflags") results
in a .eh_frame_hdr section for the vDSO, which in turn causes the libgcc
unwinder to unwind out of signal handlers using the .eh_frame information
populated by our .cfi directives. In conjunction with a4eb355a3fda
("arm64: vdso: Fix CFI directives in sigreturn trampoline"), this has
been shown to cause segmentation faults originating from within the
unwinder during thread cancellation:

 | Thread 14 "virtio-net-rx" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
 | 0x0000000000435e24 in uw_frame_state_for ()
 | (gdb) bt

 | #2  0x00000000004374d8 in _Unwind_ForcedUnwind ()
 | #3  0x0000000000428400 in __pthread_unwind (buf=&lt;optimized out&gt;) at unwind.c:121
 | #4  0x0000000000429808 in __do_cancel () at ./pthreadP.h:304

 | #8  futex_wait_cancelable (private=0, expected=0, futex_word=0x3890b708) at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/futex-internal.h:88

After considerable bashing of heads, it appears that our CFI directives
for unwinding out of the sigreturn trampoline are only processed by libgcc
when both a .eh_frame_hdr section is present *and* the mysterious NOP is
covered by an entry in .eh_frame. With both of these now in place, it has
highlighted that our CFI directives are not comprehensive enough to
restore the stack pointer of the interrupted context. This results in libgcc
falling back to an arm64-specific unwinder after computing a bogus PC value
from the unwind tables. The unwinder promptly dereferences this bogus address
in an attempt to see if the pointed-to instruction sequence looks like
the sigreturn trampoline.

Restore the old unwind behaviour, which relied solely on heuristics in
the unwinder, by removing the .eh_frame_hdr section from the vDSO and
commenting out the insufficient CFI directives for now. Add comments to
explain the current, miserable state of affairs.

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
 "A sizeable pile of arm64 updates for 5.8.

  Summary below, but the big two features are support for Branch Target
  Identification and Clang's Shadow Call stack. The latter is currently
  arm64-only, but the high-level parts are all in core code so it could
  easily be adopted by other architectures pending toolchain support

  Branch Target Identification (BTI):

   - Support for ARMv8.5-BTI in both user- and kernel-space. This allows
     branch targets to limit the types of branch from which they can be
     called and additionally prevents branching to arbitrary code,
     although kernel support requires a very recent toolchain.

   - Function annotation via SYM_FUNC_START() so that assembly functions
     are wrapped with the relevant "landing pad" instructions.

   - BPF and vDSO updates to use the new instructions.

   - Addition of a new HWCAP and exposure of BTI capability to userspace
     via ID register emulation, along with ELF loader support for the
     BTI feature in .note.gnu.property.

   - Non-critical fixes to CFI unwind annotations in the sigreturn
     trampoline.

  Shadow Call Stack (SCS):

   - Support for Clang's Shadow Call Stack feature, which reserves
     platform register x18 to point at a separate stack for each task
     that holds only return addresses. This protects function return
     control flow from buffer overruns on the main stack.

   - Save/restore of x18 across problematic boundaries (user-mode,
     hypervisor, EFI, suspend, etc).

   - Core support for SCS, should other architectures want to use it
     too.

   - SCS overflow checking on context-switch as part of the existing
     stack limit check if CONFIG_SCHED_STACK_END_CHECK=y.

  CPU feature detection:

   - Removed numerous "SANITY CHECK" errors when running on a system
     with mismatched AArch32 support at EL1. This is primarily a concern
     for KVM, which disabled support for 32-bit guests on such a system.

   - Addition of new ID registers and fields as the architecture has
     been extended.

  Perf and PMU drivers:

   - Minor fixes and cleanups to system PMU drivers.

  Hardware errata:

   - Unify KVM workarounds for VHE and nVHE configurations.

   - Sort vendor errata entries in Kconfig.

  Secure Monitor Call Calling Convention (SMCCC):

   - Update to the latest specification from Arm (v1.2).

   - Allow PSCI code to query the SMCCC version.

  Software Delegated Exception Interface (SDEI):

   - Unexport a bunch of unused symbols.

   - Minor fixes to handling of firmware data.

  Pointer authentication:

   - Add support for dumping the kernel PAC mask in vmcoreinfo so that
     the stack can be unwound by tools such as kdump.

   - Simplification of key initialisation during CPU bringup.

  BPF backend:

   - Improve immediate generation for logical and add/sub instructions.

  vDSO:

   - Minor fixes to the linker flags for consistency with other
     architectures and support for LLVM's unwinder.

   - Clean up logic to initialise and map the vDSO into userspace.

  ACPI:

   - Work around for an ambiguity in the IORT specification relating to
     the "num_ids" field.

   - Support _DMA method for all named components rather than only PCIe
     root complexes.

   - Minor other IORT-related fixes.

  Miscellaneous:

   - Initialise debug traps early for KGDB and fix KDB cacheflushing
     deadlock.

   - Minor tweaks to early boot state (documentation update, set
     TEXT_OFFSET to 0x0, increase alignment of PE/COFF sections).

   - Refactoring and cleanup"

  Secure Monitor Call Calling Convention (SMCCC):

   - Update to the latest specification from Arm (v1.2).

   - Allow PSCI code to query the SMCCC version.

  Software Delegated Exception Interface (SDEI):

   - Unexport a bunch of unused symbols.

   - Minor fixes to handling of firmware data.

  Pointer authentication:

   - Add support for dumping the kernel PAC mask in vmcoreinfo so that
     the stack can be unwound by tools such as kdump.

   - Simplification of key initialisation during CPU bringup.

  BPF backend:

   - Improve immediate generation for logical and add/sub instructions.

  vDSO:

   - Minor fixes to the linker flags for consistency with other
     architectures and support for LLVM's unwinder.

   - Clean up logic to initialise and map the vDSO into userspace.

  ACPI:

   - Work around for an ambiguity in the IORT specification relating to
     the "num_ids" field.

   - Support _DMA method for all named components rather than only PCIe
     root complexes.

   - Minor other IORT-related fixes.

  Miscellaneous:

   - Initialise debug traps early for KGDB and fix KDB cacheflushing
     deadlock.

   - Minor tweaks to early boot state (documentation update, set
     TEXT_OFFSET to 0x0, increase alignment of PE/COFF sections).

   - Refactoring and cleanup"

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.

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.
