Pull arm64 fixes from Catalin Marinas:

 - ZONE_DMA32 initialisation fix when memblocks fall entirely within the
   first GB (used by ZONE_DMA in 5.5 for Raspberry Pi 4).

 - Couple of ftrace fixes following the FTRACE_WITH_REGS patchset.

 - access_ok() fix for the Tagged Address ABI when called from from a
   kernel thread (asynchronous I/O): the kthread does not have the TIF
   flags of the mm owner, so untag the user address unconditionally.

 - KVM compute_layout() called before the alternatives code patching.

 - Minor clean-ups.

This is due to an unfortunate combination of several factors.

Building with KASAN results in the compiler generating anonymous
functions to register/unregister global variables against the shadow
memory. These functions are placed in .text.startup/.text.exit, and
given mangled names like _GLOBAL__sub_{I,D}_65535_0_$OTHER_SYMBOL. The
kernel linker script places these in .init.text and .exit.text
respectively, which are both discarded at runtime as part of initmem.

Building with FTRACE_WITH_REGS uses -fpatchable-function-entry=2, which
also instruments KASAN's anonymous functions. When these are discarded
with the rest of initmem, ftrace removes dangling references to these
call sites.

Building without MODULES implicitly disables STRICT_MODULE_RWX, and
causes arm64's patch_map() function to treat any !core_kernel_text()
symbol as something that can be modified in-place. As core_kernel_text()
is only true for .text and .init.text, with the latter depending on
system_state &lt; SYSTEM_RUNNING, we'll treat .exit.text as something that
can be patched in-place. However, .exit.text is mapped read-only.

Hence in this configuration the ftrace init code blows up while trying
to patch one of the functions generated by KASAN.

We could try to filter out the call sites in .exit.text rather than
initializing them, but this would be inconsistent with how we handle
.init.text, and requires hooking into core bits of ftrace. The behaviour
of patch_map() is also inconsistent today, so instead let's clean that
up and have it consistently handle .exit.text.

This patch teaches patch_map() to handle .exit.text at init time,
preventing the boot-time splat above. The flow of patch_map() is
reworked to make the logic clearer and minimize redundant
conditionality.

removes the redundant ALIGN, which is already present at the end of the

Since the EXCEPTION_TABLE is read-only, collapse it into RO_DATA. Also
removes the redundant ALIGN, which is already present at the end of the
RO_DATA macro.

Rename RW_DATA_SECTION to RW_DATA. (Calling this a "section" is a lie,
since it's multiple sections and section flags cannot be applied to
the macro.)

<title>arm64: remove __exception annotations</title>

<content type='text'>
Since commit 732674980139 ("arm64: unwind: reference pt_regs via embedded
stack frame") arm64 has not used the __exception annotation to dump
the pt_regs during stack tracing. in_exception_text() has no callers.

This annotation is only used to blacklist kprobes, it means the same as
__kprobes.

Section annotations like this require the functions to be grouped
together between the start/end markers, and placed according to
the linker script. For kprobes we also have NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() which
logs the symbol address in a section that kprobes parses and
blacklists at boot.

Using NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() instead lets kprobes publish the list of
blacklisted symbols, and saves us from having an arm64 specific
spelling of __kprobes.

do_debug_exception() already has a NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() annotation.

<title>arm64/efi: Move variable assignments after SECTIONS</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=90776dd1c427cbb4d381aa4b13338f1fb1d20f5e'/>
<id>90776dd1c427cbb4d381aa4b13338f1fb1d20f5e</id>
<content type='text'>
It seems that LLVM's linker does not correctly handle variable assignments
involving section positions that are updated during the SECTIONS
parsing. Commit aa69fb62bea1 ("arm64/efi: Mark __efistub_stext_offset as
an absolute symbol explicitly") ran into this too, but found a different
workaround.

However, this was not enough, as other variables were also miscalculated
which manifested as boot failures under UEFI where __efistub__end was
not taking the correct _end value (they should be the same):

$ ld.lld -EL -maarch64elf --no-undefined -X -shared \
	-Bsymbolic -z notext -z norelro --no-apply-dynamic-relocs \
	-o vmlinux.lld -T poc.lds --whole-archive vmlinux.o &amp;&amp; \
  readelf -Ws vmlinux.lld | egrep '\b(__efistub_|)_end\b'
368272: ffff000002218000     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  HIDDEN    38 __efistub__end
368322: ffff000012318000     0 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT   38 _end

$ aarch64-linux-gnu-ld.bfd -EL -maarch64elf --no-undefined -X -shared \
	-Bsymbolic -z notext -z norelro --no-apply-dynamic-relocs \
	-o vmlinux.bfd -T poc.lds --whole-archive vmlinux.o &amp;&amp; \
  readelf -Ws vmlinux.bfd | egrep '\b(__efistub_|)_end\b'
338124: ffff000012318000     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  DEFAULT  ABS __efistub__end
383812: ffff000012318000     0 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT 15325 _end

To work around this, all of the __efistub_-prefixed variable assignments
need to be moved after the linker script's SECTIONS entry. As it turns
out, this also solves the problem fixed in commit aa69fb62bea1, so those
changes are reverted here.

<title>arm64: Add support for relocating the kernel with RELR relocations</title>

RELR is a relocation packing format for relative relocations.
The format is described in a generic-abi proposal:
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/generic-abi/bX460iggiKg/discussion

The LLD linker can be instructed to pack relocations in the RELR
format by passing the flag --pack-dyn-relocs=relr.

This patch adds a new config option, CONFIG_RELR. Enabling this option
instructs the linker to pack vmlinux's relative relocations in the RELR
format, and causes the kernel to apply the relocations at startup along
with the RELA relocations. RELA relocations still need to be applied
because the linker will emit RELA relative relocations if they are
unrepresentable in the RELR format (i.e. address not a multiple of 2).

Enabling CONFIG_RELR reduces the size of a defconfig kernel image
with CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE by 3.5MB/16% uncompressed, or 550KB/5%
compressed (lz4).

<title>arm64: relocatable: fix inconsistencies in linker script and options</title>

<id>3bbd3db86470c701091fb1d67f1fab6621debf50</id>
<content type='text'>
readelf complains about the section layout of vmlinux when building
with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y (for KASLR):

  readelf: Warning: [21]: Link field (0) should index a symtab section.
  readelf: Warning: [21]: Info field (0) should index a relocatable section.

Also, it seems that our use of '-pie -shared' is contradictory, and
thus ambiguous. In general, the way KASLR is wired up at the moment
is highly tailored to how ld.bfd happens to implement (and conflate)
PIE executables and shared libraries, so given the current effort to
support other toolchains, let's fix some of these issues as well.

- Drop the -pie linker argument and just leave -shared. In ld.bfd,
  the differences between them are unclear (except for the ELF type
  of the produced image [0]) but lld chokes on seeing both at the
  same time.

- Rename the .rela output section to .rela.dyn, as is customary for
  shared libraries and PIE executables, so that it is not misidentified
  by readelf as a static relocation section (producing the warnings
  above).

- Pass the -z notext and -z norelro options to explicitly instruct the
  linker to permit text relocations, and to omit the RELRO program
  header (which requires a certain section layout that we don't adhere
  to in the kernel). These are the defaults for current versions of
  ld.bfd.

- Discard .eh_frame and .gnu.hash sections to avoid them from being
  emitted between .head.text and .text, screwing up the section layout.

These changes only affect the ELF image, and produce the same binary
image.

readelf complains about the section layout of vmlinux when building
with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y (for KASLR):

  readelf: Warning: [21]: Link field (0) should index a symtab section.
  readelf: Warning: [21]: Info field (0) should index a relocatable section.

Also, it seems that our use of '-pie -shared' is contradictory, and
thus ambiguous. In general, the way KASLR is wired up at the moment
is highly tailored to how ld.bfd happens to implement (and conflate)
PIE executables and shared libraries, so given the current effort to
support other toolchains, let's fix some of these issues as well.

- Drop the -pie linker argument and just leave -shared. In ld.bfd,
  the differences between them are unclear (except for the ELF type
  of the produced image [0]) but lld chokes on seeing both at the
  same time.

- Rename the .rela output section to .rela.dyn, as is customary for
  shared libraries and PIE executables, so that it is not misidentified
  by readelf as a static relocation section (producing the warnings
  above).

- Pass the -z notext and -z norelro options to explicitly instruct the
  linker to permit text relocations, and to omit the RELRO program
  header (which requires a certain section layout that we don't adhere
  to in the kernel). These are the defaults for current versions of
  ld.bfd.

- Discard .eh_frame and .gnu.hash sections to avoid them from being
  emitted between .head.text and .text, screwing up the section layout.

These changes only affect the ELF image, and produce the same binary
image.
