commit ca0f4fe7cf7183bfbdc67ca2de56ae1fc3a8db2b upstream.

A recent LLVM commit [1] started generating an .ARM.attributes section
similar to the one that exists for 32-bit, which results in orphan
section warnings (or errors if CONFIG_WERROR is enabled) from the linker
because it is not handled in the arm64 linker scripts.

  ld.lld: error: arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vgettimeofday.o:(.ARM.attributes) is being placed in '.ARM.attributes'
  ld.lld: error: arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vgetrandom.o:(.ARM.attributes) is being placed in '.ARM.attributes'

  ld.lld: error: vmlinux.a(lib/vsprintf.o):(.ARM.attributes) is being placed in '.ARM.attributes'
  ld.lld: error: vmlinux.a(lib/win_minmax.o):(.ARM.attributes) is being placed in '.ARM.attributes'
  ld.lld: error: vmlinux.a(lib/xarray.o):(.ARM.attributes) is being placed in '.ARM.attributes'

Discard the new sections in the necessary linker scripts to resolve the
warnings, as the kernel and vDSO do not need to retain it, similar to
the .note.gnu.property section.

[ Upstream commit 340fd66c856651d8c1d29f392dd26ad674d2db0e ]

Commit be2881824ae9 ("arm64/build: Assert for unwanted sections")
introduced an assertion to ensure that the .data.rel.ro section does
not exist.

However, this check does not work when CONFIG_LTO_CLANG is enabled,
because .data.rel.ro matches the .data.[0-9a-zA-Z_]* pattern in the
DATA_MAIN macro.

Move the ASSERT() above the RW_DATA() line.

commit a9c406e6462ff14956d690de7bbe5131a5677dc9 upstream.

Adding a second set of vectors to .entry.tramp.text will make it
larger than a single 4K page.

Allow the trampoline text to occupy up to three pages by adding two
more fixmap slots. Previous changes to tramp_valias allowed it to reach
beyond a single page.

<title>arm64: consistently use reserved_pg_dir</title>

[ Upstream commit 833be850f1cabd0e3b5337c0fcab20a6e936dd48 ]

Depending on configuration options and specific code paths, we either
use the empty_zero_page or the configuration-dependent reserved_ttbr0
as a reserved value for TTBR{0,1}_EL1.

To simplify this code, let's always allocate and use the same
reserved_pg_dir, replacing reserved_ttbr0. Note that this is allocated
(and hence pre-zeroed), and is also marked as read-only in the kernel
Image mapping.

Keeping this separate from the empty_zero_page potentially helps with
robustness as the empty_zero_page is used in a number of cases where a
failure to map it read-only could allow it to become corrupted.

The (presently unused) swapper_pg_end symbol is also removed, and
comments are added wherever we rely on the offsets between the
pre-allocated pg_dirs to keep these cases easily identifiable.

<title>arm64: vmlinux.lds: account for spurious empty .igot.plt sections</title>

Now that we started making the linker warn about orphan sections
(input sections that are not explicitly consumed by an output section),
some configurations produce the following warning:

  aarch64-linux-gnu-ld: warning: orphan section `.igot.plt' from
         `arch/arm64/kernel/head.o' being placed in section `.igot.plt'

It could be any file that triggers this - head.o is simply the first
input file in the link - and the resulting .igot.plt section never
actually appears in vmlinux as it turns out to be empty.

So let's add .igot.plt to our collection of input sections to disregard
unless they are empty.

 "For x86, there is a new alternative and (in the future) more scalable

  For now it is disabled by default because it is still lacking a few of

   - Support of PMU event filtering
   - Complete rework of the Spectre mitigation

  PPC:
   - Fix for running nested guests with in-kernel IRQ chip
   - Fix race condition causing occasional host hard lockup
   - Minor cleanups and bugfixes

  x86:

   - allow userspace to force #GP on specific MSRs
   - INVPCID support on AMD
   - nested AMD cleanup, on demand allocation of nested SVM state
   - hide PV MSRs and hypercalls for features not enabled in CPUID

Pull orphan section checking from Ingo Molnar:
 "Orphan link sections were a long-standing source of obscure bugs,
  because the heuristics that various linkers &amp; compilers use to handle
  them (include these bits into the output image vs discarding them
  silently) are both highly idiosyncratic and also version dependent.

  Instead of this historically problematic mess, this tree by Kees Cook
  (et al) adds build time asserts and build time warnings if there's any
  orphan section in the kernel or if a section is not sized as expected.

  And because we relied on so many silent assumptions in this area, fix
  a metric ton of dependencies and some outright bugs related to this,
  before we can finally enable the checks on the x86, ARM and ARM64
  platforms"

  silently) are both highly idiosyncratic and also version dependent.

  Instead of this historically problematic mess, this tree by Kees Cook
  (et al) adds build time asserts and build time warnings if there's any
  orphan section in the kernel or if a section is not sized as expected.

  And because we relied on so many silent assumptions in this area, fix
  a metric ton of dependencies and some outright bugs related to this,
  before we can finally enable the checks on the x86, ARM and ARM64
  platforms"

<title>kvm: arm64: Set up hyp percpu data for nVHE</title>

<content type='text'>
Add hyp percpu section to linker script and rename the corresponding ELF
sections of hyp/nvhe object files. This moves all nVHE-specific percpu
variables to the new hyp percpu section.

Allocate sufficient amount of memory for all percpu hyp regions at global KVM
init time and create corresponding hyp mappings.

The base addresses of hyp percpu regions are kept in a dynamically allocated
array in the kernel.

Add NULL checks in PMU event-reset code as it may run before KVM memory is
initialized.

<title>kvm: arm64: Only define __kvm_ex_table for CONFIG_KVM</title>

<content type='text'>
Minor cleanup that only creates __kvm_ex_table ELF section and
related symbols if CONFIG_KVM is enabled. Also useful as more
hyp-specific sections will be added.
