Add static_call_update_early() for updating static-call targets in
very early boot.

This will be needed for support of Xen guest type specific hypercall
functions.

This is part of XSA-466 / CVE-2024-53241.

&lt;linux/compiler.h&gt; defines __must_be_array() and __must_be_cstr() and
both expand to BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO(), but &lt;linux/build_bug.h&gt; defines
BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO(). Including &lt;linux/build_bug.h&gt; in
&lt;linux/compiler.h&gt; would create a cyclic dependency as
&lt;linux/build_bug.h&gt; already includes &lt;linux/compiler.h&gt;.

Fix that by defining __BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO_MSG() in &lt;linux/compiler.h&gt;
and using that for __must_be_array() and __must_be_cstr().

<title>compiler.h: specify correct attribute for .rodata..c_jump_table</title>

<id>c5b1184decc819756ae549ba54c63b6790c4ddfd</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, there is an assembler message when generating kernel/bpf/core.o
under CONFIG_OBJTOOL with LoongArch compiler toolchain:

  Warning: setting incorrect section attributes for .rodata..c_jump_table

This is because the section ".rodata..c_jump_table" should be readonly,
but there is a "W" (writable) part of the flags:

  $ readelf -S kernel/bpf/core.o | grep -A 1 "rodata..c"
  [34] .rodata..c_j[...] PROGBITS         0000000000000000  0000d2e0
       0000000000000800  0000000000000000  WA       0     0     8

There is no above issue on x86 due to the generated section flag is only
"A" (allocatable). In order to silence the warning on LoongArch, specify
the attribute like ".rodata..c_jump_table,\"a\",@progbits #" explicitly,
then the section attribute of ".rodata..c_jump_table" must be readonly
in the kernel/bpf/core.o file.

Before:

  $ objdump -h kernel/bpf/core.o | grep -A 1 "rodata..c"
   21 .rodata..c_jump_table 00000800  0000000000000000  0000000000000000  0000d2e0  2**3
                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, RELOC, DATA

After:

  $ objdump -h kernel/bpf/core.o | grep -A 1 "rodata..c"
   21 .rodata..c_jump_table 00000800  0000000000000000  0000000000000000  0000d2e0  2**3
                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, RELOC, READONLY, DATA

By the way, AFAICT, maybe the root cause is related with the different
compiler behavior of various archs, so to some extent this change is a
workaround for LoongArch, and also there is no effect for x86 which is the
only port supported by objtool before LoongArch with this patch.

<title>string: Check for "nonstring" attribute on strscpy() arguments</title>

GCC already checks for arguments that are marked with the "nonstring"[1]
attribute when used on standard C String API functions (e.g. strcpy). Gain
this compile-time checking also for the kernel's primary string copying
function, strscpy().

Note that Clang has neither "nonstring" nor __builtin_has_attribute().

<title>minmax: improve macro expansion and type checking</title>

This clarifies the rules for min()/max()/clamp() type checking and makes
them a much more efficient macro expansion.

In particular, we now look at the type and range of the inputs to see
whether they work together, generating a mask of acceptable comparisons,
and then just verifying that the inputs have a shared case:

 - an expression with a signed type can be used for
    (1) signed comparisons
    (2) unsigned comparisons if it is statically known to have a
        non-negative value

 - an expression with an unsigned type can be used for
    (3) unsigned comparison
    (4) signed comparisons if the type is smaller than 'int' and thus
        the C integer promotion rules will make it signed anyway

Here rule (1) and (3) are obvious, and rule (2) is important in order to
allow obvious trivial constants to be used together with unsigned
values.

Rule (4) is not necessarily a good idea, but matches what we used to do,
and we have extant cases of this situation in the kernel.  Notably with
bcachefs having an expression like

	min(bch2_bucket_sectors_dirty(a), ca-&gt;mi.bucket_size)

where bch2_bucket_sectors_dirty() returns an 's64', and
'ca-&gt;mi.bucket_size' is of type 'u16'.

Technically that bcachefs comparison is clearly sensible on a C type
level, because the 'u16' will go through the normal C integer promotion,
and become 'int', and then we're comparing two signed values and
everything looks sane.

However, it's not entirely clear that a 'min(s64,u16)' operation makes a
lot of conceptual sense, and it's possible that we will remove rule (4).
After all, the _reason_ we have these complicated type checks is exactly
that the C type promotion rules are not very intuitive.

But at least for now the rule is in place for backwards compatibility.

Also note that rule (2) existed before, but is hugely relaxed by this
commit.  It used to be true only for the simplest compile-time
non-negative integer constants.  The new macro model will allow cases
where the compiler can trivially see that an expression is non-negative
even if it isn't necessarily a constant.

For example, the amdgpu driver does

	min_t(size_t, sizeof(fru_info-&gt;serial), pia[addr] &amp; 0x3F));

because our old 'min()' macro would see that 'pia[addr] &amp; 0x3F' is of
type 'int' and clearly not a C constant expression, so doing a 'min()'
with a 'size_t' is a signedness violation.

Our new 'min()' macro still sees that 'pia[addr] &amp; 0x3F' is of type
'int', but is smart enough to also see that it is clearly non-negative,
and thus would allow that case without any complaints.

-Wdeclaration-after-statement used since forever required statement
expressions to inject __kcsan_disable_current(), __kcsan_enable_current()
to mark data race. Now that it is gone, make macro expansion simpler.

__unqual_scalar_typeof() is wordy macro by itself.
"expr" is expanded twice.

<title>kcsan: Add example to data_race() kerneldoc header</title>

Although the data_race() kerneldoc header accurately states what it does,
some of the implications and usage patterns are non-obvious.  Therefore,
add a brief locking example and also state how to have KCSAN ignore
accesses while also preventing the compiler from folding, spindling,
or otherwise mutilating the access.
