The llvm fix [1] did not make it for 19.0.0, but ended up getting
backported to llvm 19.1.3 [2]. Thus, fix the version requirement to
correctly specify which versions have the bug.

The HAVE_CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS option has some tricky conditions
when KASAN or GCOV are turned on, as in that case we need some clang and
rustc fixes [1][2] to avoid boot failures. The intent with the current
setup is that you should be able to override the check and turn on the
option if your clang/rustc has the fix. However, this override does not
work in practice. Thus, use the new RUSTC_LLVM_VERSION to correctly
implement the check for whether the fix is available.

Additionally, remove KASAN_HW_TAGS from the list of incompatible
options. The CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS option is incompatible with
KASAN because LLVM will emit some constructors when using KASAN that are
assigned incorrect CFI tags. These constructors are emitted due to use
of -fsanitize=kernel-address or -fsanitize=kernel-hwaddress that are
respectively passed when KASAN_GENERIC or KASAN_SW_TAGS are enabled.
However, the KASAN_HW_TAGS option relies on hardware support for MTE
instead and does not pass either flag. (Note also that KASAN_HW_TAGS
does not `select CONSTRUCTORS`.)

<id>4c66f8307ac099f89038878b7789d72163a74751</id>
<content type='text'>
There is a bug in the LLVM implementation of KASAN and GCOV that makes
these options incompatible with the CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS option.

The bug has already been fixed in llvm/clang [1] and rustc [2]. However,
Kconfig currently has no way to gate features on the LLVM version inside
rustc, so we cannot write down a precise `depends on` clause in this
case. Instead, a `def_bool` option is defined for whether
CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS is available, and its default value is set
to false when GCOV or KASAN are turned on. End users using a patched
clang/rustc can turn on the HAVE_CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS option
directly to override this.

An alternative solution is to inspect a binary created by clang or rustc
to see whether the faulty CFI tags are in the binary. This would be a
precise check, but it would involve hard-coding the *hashed* version of
the CFI tag. This is because there's no way to get clang or rustc to
output the unhased version of the CFI tag. Relying on the precise
hashing algorithm using by CFI seems too fragile, so I have not pursued
this option. Besides, this kind of hack is exactly what lead to the LLVM
bug in the first place.

If the CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS option is used without CONFIG_RUST,
then we actually can perform a precise check today: just compare the
clang version number. This works since clang and llvm are always updated
in lockstep. However, encoding this in Kconfig would give the
HAVE_CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS option a dependency on CONFIG_RUST,
which is not possible as the reverse dependency already exists.

HAVE_CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS is defined to be a `def_bool` instead
of `bool` to avoid asking end users whether they want to turn on the
option. Turning it on explicitly is something only experts should do, so
making it hard to do so is not an issue.

I added a `depends on CFI_CLANG` clause to the new Kconfig option. I'm
not sure whether that makes sense or not, but it doesn't seem to make a
big difference.

In a future kernel release, I would like to add a Kconfig option similar
to CLANG_VERSION/RUSTC_VERSION for inspecting the version of the LLVM
inside rustc. Once that feature lands, this logic will be replaced with
a precise version check. This check is not being introduced here to
avoid introducing a new _VERSION constant in a fix.

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
 "Toolchain and infrastructure:

   - Support 'MITIGATION_{RETHUNK,RETPOLINE,SLS}' (which cleans up
     objtool warnings), teach objtool about 'noreturn' Rust symbols and
     mimic '___ADDRESSABLE()' for 'module_{init,exit}'. With that, we
     should be objtool-warning-free, so enable it to run for all Rust
     object files.

   - KASAN (no 'SW_TAGS'), KCFI and shadow call sanitizer support.

   - Support 'RUSTC_VERSION', including re-config and re-build on
     change.

   - Split helpers file into several files in a folder, to avoid
     conflicts in it. Eventually those files will be moved to the right
     places with the new build system. In addition, remove the need to
     manually export the symbols defined there, reusing existing
     machinery for that.

   - Relax restriction on configurations with Rust + GCC plugins to just
     the RANDSTRUCT plugin.

  'kernel' crate:

   - New 'list' module: doubly-linked linked list for use with reference
     counted values, which is heavily used by the upcoming Rust Binder.

     This includes 'ListArc' (a wrapper around 'Arc' that is guaranteed
     unique for the given ID), 'AtomicTracker' (tracks whether a
     'ListArc' exists using an atomic), 'ListLinks' (the prev/next
     pointers for an item in a linked list), 'List' (the linked list
     itself), 'Iter' (an iterator over a 'List'), 'Cursor' (a cursor
     into a 'List' that allows to remove elements), 'ListArcField' (a
     field exclusively owned by a 'ListArc'), as well as support for
     heterogeneous lists.

   - New 'rbtree' module: red-black tree abstractions used by the
     upcoming Rust Binder.

     This includes 'RBTree' (the red-black tree itself), 'RBTreeNode' (a
     node), 'RBTreeNodeReservation' (a memory reservation for a node),
     'Iter' and 'IterMut' (immutable and mutable iterators), 'Cursor'
     (bidirectional cursor that allows to remove elements), as well as
     an entry API similar to the Rust standard library one.

   - 'init' module: add 'write_[pin_]init' methods and the
     'InPlaceWrite' trait. Add the 'assert_pinned!' macro.

   - 'sync' module: implement the 'InPlaceInit' trait for 'Arc' by
     introducing an associated type in the trait.

   - 'alloc' module: add 'drop_contents' method to 'BoxExt'.

   - 'types' module: implement the 'ForeignOwnable' trait for
     'Pin&lt;Box&lt;T&gt;&gt;' and improve the trait's documentation. In addition,
     add the 'into_raw' method to the 'ARef' type.

   - 'error' module: in preparation for the upcoming Rust support for
     32-bit architectures, like arm, locally allow Clippy lint for
     those.

  Documentation:

   - https://rust.docs.kernel.org has been announced, so link to it.

   - Enable rustdoc's "jump to definition" feature, making its output a
     bit closer to the experience in a cross-referencer.

   - Debian Testing now also provides recent Rust releases (outside of
     the freeze period), so add it to the list.

Pull dma-mapping updates from Christoph Hellwig:

 - support DMA zones for arm64 systems where memory starts at &gt; 4GB
   (Baruch Siach, Catalin Marinas)

 - support direct calls into dma-iommu and thus obsolete dma_map_ops for
   many common configurations (Leon Romanovsky)

 - add DMA-API tracing (Sean Anderson)

 - remove the not very useful return value from various dma_set_* APIs
   (Christoph Hellwig)

 - misc cleanups and minor optimizations (Chen Y, Yosry Ahmed, Christoph
   Hellwig)

<title>cfi: add CONFIG_CFI_ICALL_NORMALIZE_INTEGERS</title>

<id>ce4a2620985cdf06c200ec0b6dce80374237697c</id>
<content type='text'>
Introduce a Kconfig option for enabling the experimental option to
normalize integer types. This ensures that integer types of the same
size and signedness are considered compatible by the Control Flow
Integrity sanitizer.

The security impact of this flag is minimal. When Sami Tolvanen looked
into it, he found that integer normalization reduced the number of
unique type hashes in the kernel by ~1%, which is acceptable.

This option exists for compatibility with Rust, as C and Rust do not
have the same set of integer types. There are cases where C has two
different integer types of the same size and signedness, but Rust only
has one integer type of that size and signedness. When Rust calls into
C functions using such types in their signature, this results in CFI
failures. One example is 'unsigned long long' and 'unsigned long' which
are both 64-bit on LP64 targets, so on those targets this flag will give
both types the same CFI tag.

This flag changes the ABI heavily. It is not applied automatically when
CONFIG_RUST is turned on to make sure that the CONFIG_RUST option does
not change the ABI of C code. For example, some build may need to make
other changes atomically with toggling this flag. Having it be a
separate option makes it possible to first turn on normalized integer
tags, and then later turn on CONFIG_RUST.

Similarly, when turning on CONFIG_RUST in a build, you may need a few
attempts where the RUST=y commit gets reverted a few times. It is
inconvenient if reverting RUST=y also requires reverting the changes you
made to support normalized integer tags.

To avoid having this flag impact builds that don't care about this, the
next patch in this series will make CONFIG_RUST turn on this option
using `select` rather than `depends on`.

DMA ops are a helper for architectures and not for drivers to override
the DMA implementation.

Unfortunately driver authors keep ignoring this.  Make the fact more
clear by renaming the symbol to ARCH_HAS_DMA_OPS and having the two drivers
overriding their dma_ops depend on that.  These drivers should probably be
marked broken, but we can give them a bit of a grace period for that.

Context tracking state related symbols currently use a mix of the
CONTEXT_ (e.g. CONTEXT_KERNEL) and CT_SATE_ (e.g. CT_STATE_MASK) prefixes.

Clean up the naming and make the ctx_state enum use the CT_STATE_ prefix.

This reverts commit 3afb76a66b5559a7b595155803ce23801558a7a9.

This was a wrongheaded workaround for an issue that had already been
fixed much better by commit 4ef9ad19e176 ("mm: huge_memory: don't force
huge page alignment on 32 bit").

Asking users questions at kernel compile time that they can't make sense
of is not a viable strategy.  And the fact that even the kernel VM
maintainers apparently didn't catch that this "fix" is not a fix any
more pretty much proves the point that people can't be expected to
understand the implications of the question.

It may well be the case that we could improve things further, and that
__thp_get_unmapped_area() should take the mapping randomization into
account even for 64-bit kernels.  Maybe we should not be so eager to use
THP mappings.

But in no case should this be a kernel config option.

<title>mm: mmap: allow for the maximum number of bits for randomizing mmap_base by default</title>

An ASLR regression was noticed [1] and tracked down to file-mapped areas
being backed by THP in recent kernels.  The 21-bit alignment constraint
for such mappings reduces the entropy for randomizing the placement of
64-bit library mappings and breaks ASLR completely for 32-bit libraries.

The reported issue is easily addressed by increasing vm.mmap_rnd_bits and
vm.mmap_rnd_compat_bits.  This patch just provides a simple way to set
ARCH_MMAP_RND_BITS and ARCH_MMAP_RND_COMPAT_BITS to their maximum values
allowed by the architecture at build time.
