<content type='text'>
Add support for adding a random offset to the stack while handling
syscalls. This patch uses mftb() instead of get_random_int() for better
performance.

In order to avoid unconditional stack canaries on syscall entry (due to
the use of alloca()), also disable stack protector to avoid triggering
needless checks and slowing down the entry path. As there is no general
way to control stack protector coverage with a function attribute, this
must be disabled at the compilation unit level.

<content type='text'>
This is a lead-up patch to enable syscall stack randomization, which
uses alloca() and makes the compiler add unconditional stack canaries
on syscall entry. In order to avoid triggering needless checks and
slowing down the entry path, the feature needs to disable stack
protector at the compilation unit level as there is no general way to
control stack protector coverage with a function attribute.

So move system_call_exception() to syscall.c to avoid affecting other
functions in interrupt.c.

<title>powerpc/64s: Disable stack variable initialisation for prom_init</title>

With GCC 12 allmodconfig prom_init fails to build:

  Error: External symbol 'memset' referenced from prom_init.c
  make[2]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/Makefile:204: arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init_check] Error 1

The allmodconfig build enables KASAN, so all calls to memset in
prom_init should be converted to __memset by the #ifdefs in
asm/string.h, because prom_init must use the non-KASAN instrumented
versions.

The build failure happens because there's a call to memset that hasn't
been caught by the pre-processor and converted to __memset. Typically
that's because it's a memset generated by the compiler itself, and that
is the case here.

With GCC 12, allmodconfig enables CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_PATTERN, which
causes the compiler to emit memset calls to initialise on-stack
variables with a pattern.

Because prom_init is non-user-facing boot-time only code, as a
workaround just disable stack variable initialisation to unbreak the
build.

<title>powerpc: Book3S 64-bit outline-only KASAN support</title>

<id>41b7a347bf1491e7300563bb224432608b41f62a</id>
<content type='text'>
Implement a limited form of KASAN for Book3S 64-bit machines running under
the Radix MMU, supporting only outline mode.

 - Enable the compiler instrumentation to check addresses and maintain the
   shadow region. (This is the guts of KASAN which we can easily reuse.)

 - Require kasan-vmalloc support to handle modules and anything else in
   vmalloc space.

 - KASAN needs to be able to validate all pointer accesses, but we can't
   instrument all kernel addresses - only linear map and vmalloc. On boot,
   set up a single page of read-only shadow that marks all iomap and
   vmemmap accesses as valid.

 - Document KASAN in powerpc docs.

Background
----------

KASAN support on Book3S is a bit tricky to get right:

 - It would be good to support inline instrumentation so as to be able to
   catch stack issues that cannot be caught with outline mode.

 - Inline instrumentation requires a fixed offset.

 - Book3S runs code with translations off ("real mode") during boot,
   including a lot of generic device-tree parsing code which is used to
   determine MMU features.

    [ppc64 mm note: The kernel installs a linear mapping at effective
    address c000...-c008.... This is a one-to-one mapping with physical
    memory from 0000... onward. Because of how memory accesses work on
    powerpc 64-bit Book3S, a kernel pointer in the linear map accesses the
    same memory both with translations on (accessing as an 'effective
    address'), and with translations off (accessing as a 'real
    address'). This works in both guests and the hypervisor. For more
    details, see s5.7 of Book III of version 3 of the ISA, in particular
    the Storage Control Overview, s5.7.3, and s5.7.5 - noting that this
    KASAN implementation currently only supports Radix.]

 - Some code - most notably a lot of KVM code - also runs with translations
   off after boot.

 - Therefore any offset has to point to memory that is valid with
   translations on or off.

One approach is just to give up on inline instrumentation. This way
boot-time checks can be delayed until after the MMU is set is up, and we
can just not instrument any code that runs with translations off after
booting. Take this approach for now and require outline instrumentation.

Previous attempts allowed inline instrumentation. However, they came with
some unfortunate restrictions: only physically contiguous memory could be
used and it had to be specified at compile time. Maybe we can do better in
the future.

[paulus@ozlabs.org - Rebased onto 5.17.  Note that a kernel with
 CONFIG_KASAN=y will crash during boot on a machine using HPT
 translation because not all the entry points to the generic
 KASAN code are protected with a call to kasan_arch_is_ready().]

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - Optimise radix KVM guest entry/exit by 2x on Power9/Power10.

 - Allow firmware to tell us whether to disable the entry and uaccess
   flushes on Power10 or later CPUs.

 - Add BPF_PROBE_MEM support for 32 and 64-bit BPF jits.

 - Several fixes and improvements to our hard lockup watchdog.

 - Activate HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS on 32-bit.

 - Allow building the 64-bit Book3S kernel without hash MMU support, ie.
   Radix only.

 - Add KUAP (SMAP) support for 40x, 44x, 8xx, Book3E (64-bit).

 - Add new encodings for perf_mem_data_src.mem_hops field, and use them
   on Power10.

 - A series of small performance improvements to 64-bit interrupt entry.

 - Several commits fixing issues when building with the clang integrated
   assembler.

 - Many other small features and fixes.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - Optimise radix KVM guest entry/exit by 2x on Power9/Power10.

 - Allow firmware to tell us whether to disable the entry and uaccess
   flushes on Power10 or later CPUs.

 - Add BPF_PROBE_MEM support for 32 and 64-bit BPF jits.

 - Several fixes and improvements to our hard lockup watchdog.

 - Activate HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS on 32-bit.

 - Allow building the 64-bit Book3S kernel without hash MMU support, ie.
   Radix only.

 - Add KUAP (SMAP) support for 40x, 44x, 8xx, Book3E (64-bit).

 - Add new encodings for perf_mem_data_src.mem_hops field, and use them
   on Power10.

 - A series of small performance improvements to 64-bit interrupt entry.

 - Several commits fixing issues when building with the clang integrated
   assembler.

 - Many other small features and fixes.
