Commit
b4e0409a36f4 ("x86: check vmlinux limits, 64-bit")
added a check that the size of the 64-bit kernel is less than
KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE.
The check uses (_end - _text), but this is not enough. The initial
PMD used in startup_64() (level2_kernel_pgt) can only map upto
KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE from __START_KERNEL_map, not from _text, and the
modules area (MODULES_VADDR) starts at KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE.
The correct check is what is currently done for 32-bit, since
LOAD_OFFSET is defined appropriately for the two architectures. Just
check (_end - LOAD_OFFSET) against KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE unconditionally.
Note that on 32-bit, the limit is not strict: KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE is not
really used by the main kernel. The higher the kernel is located, the
less the space available for the vmalloc area. However, it is used by
KASLR in the compressed stub to limit the maximum address of the kernel
to a safe value.
Clean up various comments to clarify that despite the name,
KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE is not a limit on the size of the kernel image, but a
limit on the maximum virtual address that the image can occupy.

Pull static call support from Ingo Molnar:
"This introduces static_call(), which is the idea of static_branch()
applied to indirect function calls. Remove a data load (indirection)
by modifying the text.
They give the flexibility of function pointers, but with better
performance. (This is especially important for cases where retpolines
would otherwise be used, as retpolines can be pretty slow.)
API overview:
DECLARE_STATIC_CALL(name, func);
DEFINE_STATIC_CALL(name, func);
DEFINE_STATIC_CALL_NULL(name, typename);
static_call(name)(args...);
static_call_cond(name)(args...);
static_call_update(name, func);
x86 is supported via text patching, otherwise basic indirect calls are
used, with function pointers.
There's a second variant using inline code patching, inspired by
jump-labels, implemented on x86 as well.
The new APIs are utilized in the x86 perf code, a heavy user of
function pointers, where static calls speed up the PMU handler by
4.2% (!).
The generic implementation is not really excercised on other
architectures, outside of the trivial test_static_call_init()
self-test"

Add the inline static call implementation for x86-64. The generated code is identical to the out-of-line case, except we move the trampoline into it's own section. Objtool uses the trampoline naming convention to detect all the call sites. It then annotates those call sites in the .static_call_sites section. During boot (and module init), the call sites are patched to call directly into the destination function. The temporary trampoline is then no longer used.

On x86-32 the idt_table with 256 entries needs only 2048 bytes. It is page-aligned, but the end of the .bss..page_aligned section is not guaranteed to be page-aligned. As a result, objects from other .bss sections may end up on the same 4k page as the idt_table, and will accidentially get mapped read-only during boot, causing unexpected page-faults when the kernel writes to them. This could be worked around by making the objects in the page aligned sections page sized, but that's wrong. Explicit sections which store only page aligned objects have an implicit guarantee that the object is alone in the page in which it is placed. That works for all objects except the last one. That's inconsistent. Enforcing page sized objects for these sections would wreckage memory sanitizers, because the object becomes artificially larger than it should be and out of bound access becomes legit. Align the end of the .bss..page_aligned and .data..page_aligned section on page-size so all objects places in these sections are guaranteed to have their own page.

Pull x86 entry updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The x86 entry, exception and interrupt code rework
This all started about 6 month ago with the attempt to move the Posix
CPU timer heavy lifting out of the timer interrupt code and just have
lockless quick checks in that code path. Trivial 5 patches.
This unearthed an inconsistency in the KVM handling of task work and
the review requested to move all of this into generic code so other
architectures can share.
Valid request and solved with another 25 patches but those unearthed
inconsistencies vs. RCU and instrumentation.
Digging into this made it obvious that there are quite some
inconsistencies vs. instrumentation in general. The int3 text poke
handling in particular was completely unprotected and with the batched
update of trace events even more likely to expose to endless int3
recursion.
In parallel the RCU implications of instrumenting fragile entry code
came up in several discussions.
The conclusion of the x86 maintainer team was to go all the way and
make the protection against any form of instrumentation of fragile and
dangerous code pathes enforcable and verifiable by tooling.
A first batch of preparatory work hit mainline with commit
d5f744f9a2ac ("Pull x86 entry code updates from Thomas Gleixner")
That (almost) full solution introduced a new code section
'.noinstr.text' into which all code which needs to be protected from
instrumentation of all sorts goes into. Any call into instrumentable
code out of this section has to be annotated. objtool has support to
validate this.
Kprobes now excludes this section fully which also prevents BPF from
fiddling with it and all 'noinstr' annotated functions also keep
ftrace off. The section, kprobes and objtool changes are already
merged.
The major changes coming with this are:
- Preparatory cleanups
- Annotating of relevant functions to move them into the
noinstr.text section or enforcing inlining by marking them
__always_inline so the compiler cannot misplace or instrument
them.
- Splitting and simplifying the idtentry macro maze so that it is
now clearly separated into simple exception entries and the more
interesting ones which use interrupt stacks and have the paranoid
handling vs. CR3 and GS.
- Move quite some of the low level ASM functionality into C code:
- enter_from and exit to user space handling. The ASM code now
calls into C after doing the really necessary ASM handling and
the return path goes back out without bells and whistels in
ASM.
- exception entry/exit got the equivivalent treatment
- move all IRQ tracepoints from ASM to C so they can be placed as
appropriate which is especially important for the int3
recursion issue.
- Consolidate the declaration and definition of entry points between
32 and 64 bit. They share a common header and macros now.
- Remove the extra device interrupt entry maze and just use the
regular exception entry code.
- All ASM entry points except NMI are now generated from the shared
header file and the corresponding macros in the 32 and 64 bit
entry ASM.
- The C code entry points are consolidated as well with the help of
DEFINE_IDTENTRY*() macros. This allows to ensure at one central
point that all corresponding entry points share the same
semantics. The actual function body for most entry points is in an
instrumentable and sane state.
There are special macros for the more sensitive entry points, e.g.
INT3 and of course the nasty paranoid #NMI, #MCE, #DB and #DF.
They allow to put the whole entry instrumentation and RCU handling
into safe places instead of the previous pray that it is correct
approach.
- The INT3 text poke handling is now completely isolated and the
recursion issue banned. Aside of the entry rework this required
other isolation work, e.g. the ability to force inline bsearch.
- Prevent #DB on fragile entry code, entry relevant memory and
disable it on NMI, #MC entry, which allowed to get rid of the
nested #DB IST stack shifting hackery.
- A few other cleanups and enhancements which have been made
possible through this and already merged changes, e.g.
consolidating and further restricting the IDT code so the IDT
table becomes RO after init which removes yet another popular
attack vector
- About 680 lines of ASM maze are gone.
There are a few open issues:
- An escape out of the noinstr section in the MCE handler which needs
some more thought but under the aspect that MCE is a complete
trainwreck by design and the propability to survive it is low, this
was not high on the priority list.
- Paravirtualization
When PV is enabled then objtool complains about a bunch of indirect
calls out of the noinstr section. There are a few straight forward
ways to fix this, but the other issues vs. general correctness were
more pressing than parawitz.
- KVM
KVM is inconsistent as well. Patches have been posted, but they
have not yet been commented on or picked up by the KVM folks.
- IDLE
Pretty much the same problems can be found in the low level idle
code especially the parts where RCU stopped watching. This was
beyond the scope of the more obvious and exposable problems and is
on the todo list.
The lesson learned from this brain melting exercise to morph the
evolved code base into something which can be validated and understood
is that once again the violation of the most important engineering
principle "correctness first" has caused quite a few people to spend
valuable time on problems which could have been avoided in the first
place. The "features first" tinkering mindset really has to stop.

this effort. Special thanks go to the following people (alphabetical
