"A pair of x86/entry updates.
The FRED one adjusts the kernel to the latest spec. The spec change
prevents attackers from abusing kernel entry points.
The second one came about because of the LASS work[1]. It moves the
vsyscall emulation code away from depending on X86_PF_INSTR which is
not available on some CPUs. Those CPUs are pretty obscure these days,
but this still seems like the right thing to do. It also makes this
code consistent with some things that the LASS code is going to do.
- Use RIP instead of X86_PF_INSTR for vsyscall emulation
- Remove ENDBR64 from FRED entry points"

x86/vsyscall: Do not require X86_PF_INSTR to emulate vsyscall
Adding new uprobe syscall that calls uprobe handlers for given
'breakpoint' address.
The idea is that the 'breakpoint' address calls the user space
trampoline which executes the uprobe syscall.
The syscall handler reads the return address of the initial call
to retrieve the original 'breakpoint' address. With this address
we find the related uprobe object and call its consumers.
Adding the arch_uprobe_trampoline_mapping function that provides
uprobe trampoline mapping. This mapping is backed with one global
page initialized at __init time and shared by the all the mapping
instances.
We do not allow to execute uprobe syscall if the caller is not
from uprobe trampoline mapping.
The uprobe syscall ensures the consumer (bpf program) sees registers
values in the state before the trampoline was called.

Modify asm_fred_entry_from_kvm() to allow it to be invoked by KVM even
when FRED isn't fully enabled, e.g. when running with
CONFIG_X86_FRED=y on non-FRED hardware. This will allow forcing KVM
to always use the FRED entry points for 64-bit kernels, which in turn
will eliminate a rather gross non-CFI indirect call that KVM uses to
trampoline IRQs by doing IDT lookups.
The point of asm_fred_entry_from_kvm() is to bridge between C
(vmx:handle_external_interrupt_irqoff()) and more C
(__fred_entry_from_kvm()) while changing the calling context to appear
like an interrupt (pt_regs). Making the whole thing bound by C ABI.
All that remains for non-FRED hardware is to restore RSP (to undo the
redzone and alignment). However the trivial change would result in
code like:
push %rbp
mov %rsp, %rbp
sub $REDZONE, %rsp
and $MASK, %rsp
PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS
push %rbp
POP_REGS
pop %rbp <-- *objtool fail*
mov %rbp, %rsp
pop %rbp
ret
And this will confuse objtool something wicked -- it gets confused by
the extra pop %rbp, not realizing the push and pop preserve the value.
Rather than trying to each objtool about this, recognise that since
the code is bound by C ABI on both ends and interrupts are not allowed
to change pt_regs (only exceptions are) it is sufficient to PUSH_REGS
in order to create pt_regs, but there is no reason to POP_REGS --
provided the callee-saved registers are preserved.
So avoid clearing callee-saved regs and skip POP_REGS.

The FRED specification has been changed in v9.0 to state that there
is no need for FRED event handlers to begin with ENDBR64, because
in the presence of supervisor indirect branch tracking, FRED event
delivery does not enter the WAIT_FOR_ENDBRANCH state.
As a result, remove ENDBR64 from FRED entry points.
Then add ANNOTATE_NOENDBR to indicate that FRED entry points will
never be used for indirect calls to suppress an objtool warning.
This change implies that any indirect CALL/JMP to FRED entry points
causes #CP in the presence of supervisor indirect branch tracking.
Credit goes to Jennifer Miller <jmill@asu.edu> and other contributors
from Arizona State University whose research shows that placing ENDBR
at entry points has negative value thus led to this change.
Note: This is obviously an incompatible change to the FRED
architecture. But, it's OK because there no FRED systems out in the
wild today. All production hardware and late pre-production hardware
will follow the FRED v9 spec and be compatible with this approach.

Pull fileattr updates from Christian Brauner:
"This introduces the new file_getattr() and file_setattr() system calls
after lengthy discussions.
Both system calls serve as successors and extensible companions to
the FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR and FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR system calls which have
started to show their age in addition to being named in a way that
makes it easy to conflate them with extended attribute related
operations.
These syscalls allow userspace to set filesystem inode attributes on
special files. One of the usage examples is the XFS quota projects.
XFS has project quotas which could be attached to a directory. All new
inodes in these directories inherit project ID set on parent
directory.
The project is created from userspace by opening and calling
FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR on each inode. This is not possible for special
files such as FIFO, SOCK, BLK etc. Therefore, some inodes are left
with empty project ID. Those inodes then are not shown in the quota
accounting but still exist in the directory. This is not critical but
in the case when special files are created in the directory with
already existing project quota, these new inodes inherit extended
attributes. This creates a mix of special files with and without
attributes. Moreover, special files with attributes don't have a
possibility to become clear or change the attributes. This, in turn,
prevents userspace from re-creating quota project on these existing
files.
In addition, these new system calls allow the implementation of
additional attributes that we couldn't or didn't want to fit into the
legacy ioctls anymore"

implemented either with the stackleak GCC plugin, or with the Clang
stack depth callback support.
- Rename CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STACKLEAK as needed to CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE,
but keep it for anything specific to the GCC plugin itself.
- Rename all exposed "STACKLEAK" names and files to "KSTACK_ERASE" (named
for what it does rather than what it protects against), but leave as
many of the internals alone as possible to avoid even more churn.
While here, also split "prev_lowest_stack" into CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE_METRICS,

Introduce file_getattr() and file_setattr() syscalls to manipulate inode
extended attributes. The syscalls takes pair of file descriptor and
pathname. Then it operates on inode opened accroding to openat()
semantics. The struct file_attr is passed to obtain/change extended
attributes.
This is an alternative to FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctl with a difference
that file don't need to be open as we can reference it with a path
instead of fd. By having this we can manipulated inode extended
attributes not only on regular files but also on special ones. This
is not possible with FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR ioctl as with special files
we can not call ioctl() directly on the filesystem inode using fd.
This patch adds two new syscalls which allows userspace to get/set
extended inode attributes on special files by using parent directory
and a path - *at() like syscall.

The software mitigation for BHI is to execute BHB clear sequence at syscall
entry, and possibly after a cBPF program. ITS mitigation thunks RETs in the
lower half of the cacheline. This causes the RETs in the BHB clear sequence
to be thunked as well, adding unnecessary branches to the BHB clear
sequence.
Since the sequence is in hot path, align the RET instructions in the
sequence to avoid thunking.

All vm_table array members have moved to their respective subsystems
leading to the removal of vm_table from kernel/sysctl.c. This

Pull VDSO infrastructure updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Consolidate the VDSO storage
The VDSO data storage and data layout has been largely architecture
specific for historical reasons. That increases the maintenance
effort and causes inconsistencies over and over.
There is no real technical reason for architecture specific layouts
and implementations. The architecture specific details can easily be
integrated into a generic layout, which also reduces the amount of
duplicated code for managing the mappings.
Convert all architectures over to a unified layout and common mapping
infrastructure. This splits the VDSO data layout into subsystem
specific blocks, timekeeping, random and architecture parts, which
provides a better structure and allows to improve and update the
functionalities without conflict and interaction.
- Rework the timekeeping data storage
The current implementation is designed for exposing system
timekeeping accessors, which was good enough at the time when it was
designed.
PTP and Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) change that as there are
requirements to expose independent PTP clocks, which are not related
to system timekeeping.
Replace the monolithic data storage by a structured layout, which
allows to add support for independent PTP clocks on top while reusing
both the data structures and the time accessor implementations.

PUSH_REGS with save_ret=1 is used by interrupt entry helper functions that
initially start with a UNWIND_HINT_FUNC ORC state.
However, save_ret=1 means that we clobber the helper function's return
address (and then later restore the return address further down on the
stack); after that point, the only thing on the stack we can unwind through
is the IRET frame, so use UNWIND_HINT_IRET_REGS until we have a full
pt_regs frame.
( An alternate approach would be to move the pt_regs->di overwrite down
such that it is the final step of pt_regs setup; but I don't want to
rearrange entry code just to make unwinding a tiny bit more elegant. )

Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner:
- Mount notifications
The day has come where we finally provide a new api to listen for
mount topology changes outside of /proc/<pid>/mountinfo. A mount
namespace file descriptor can be supplied and registered with
fanotify to listen for mount topology changes.
Currently notifications for mount, umount and moving mounts are
generated. The generated notification record contains the unique
mount id of the mount.
The listmount() and statmount() api can be used to query detailed
information about the mount using the received unique mount id.
This allows userspace to figure out exactly how the mount topology
changed without having to generating diffs of /proc/<pid>/mountinfo
in userspace.
- Support O_PATH file descriptors with FSCONFIG_SET_FD in the new mount
api
- Support detached mounts in overlayfs
Since last cycle we support specifying overlayfs layers via file
descriptors. However, we don't allow detached mounts which means
userspace cannot user file descriptors received via
open_tree(OPEN_TREE_CLONE) and fsmount() directly. They have to
attach them to a mount namespace via move_mount() first.
This is cumbersome and means they have to undo mounts via umount().
Allow them to directly use detached mounts.
- Allow to retrieve idmappings with statmount
Currently it isn't possible to figure out what idmapping has been
attached to an idmapped mount. Add an extension to statmount() which
allows to read the idmapping from the mount.
- Allow creating idmapped mounts from mounts that are already idmapped
So far it isn't possible to allow the creation of idmapped mounts
from already idmapped mounts as this has significant lifetime
implications. Make the creation of idmapped mounts atomic by allow to
pass struct mount_attr together with the open_tree_attr() system call
allowing to solve these issues without complicating VFS lookup in any
way.
The system call has in general the benefit that creating a detached
mount and applying mount attributes to it becomes an atomic operation
for userspace.
- Add a way to query statmount() for supported options
Allow userspace to query which mount information can be retrieved
through statmount().
- Allow superblock owners to force unmount

While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__
automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a
macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel.
This can be very confusing when switching between userspace
and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with UAPI headers that
rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize on
the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers now.
This is mostly a mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i"
statement), with some manual tweaks in <asm/frame.h>, <asm/hw_irq.h>
and <asm/setup.h> that mentioned this macro in comments with some
missing underscores.

As the Makefile is included into other Makefiles it can not be used to
define objects to be built from the current source directory.
However the generic datastore will introduce such a local source file.
Rename the included Makefile so it is clear how it is to be used and to
make room for a regular Makefile in lib/vdso/.

The vclock pages are *after* the non-vclock pages. Currently there are both
two vclock and two non-vclock pages so the existing logic works by
accident. As soon as the number of pages changes it will break however.
This will be the case with the introduction of the generic vDSO data
storage.
Use a macro to keep the calculation understandable and in sync between
the linker script and mapping code.
