<content type='text'>
An unintended consequence of commit 9c573cd31343 ("randomize_kstack:
Improve entropy diffusion") was that the per-architecture entropy size
filtering reduced how many bits were being added to the mix, rather than
how many bits were being used during the offsetting. All architectures
fell back to the existing default of 0x3FF (10 bits), which will consume
at most 1KiB of stack space. It seems that this is working just fine,
so let's avoid the confusion and update everything to use the default.

The prior intent of the per-architecture limits were:

  arm64: capped at 0x1FF (9 bits), 5 bits effective
  powerpc: uncapped (10 bits), 6 or 7 bits effective
  riscv: uncapped (10 bits), 6 bits effective
  x86: capped at 0xFF (8 bits), 5 (x86_64) or 6 (ia32) bits effective
  s390: capped at 0xFF (8 bits), undocumented effective entropy

Current discussion has led to just dropping the original per-architecture
filters. The additional entropy appears to be safe for arm64, x86,
and s390. Quoting Arnd, "There is no point pretending that 15.75KB is
somehow safe to use while 15.00KB is not."

In the attempt to clear and recreate the initial ID map for LPA2, we
wrongly use 'start - end' as the map size and make the memset() almost a
nop.

Fix it by passing the correct map size.

The memory object in this case is for efi_rt_stack_top and is allocated

The function run_all_insn_set_hw_mode() is registered as startup callback
of 'CPUHP_AP_ARM64_ISNDEP_STARTING', it invokes set_hw_mode() methods of
all emulated instructions.

As the STARTING callbacks are not expected to fail, if one of the
set_hw_mode() fails, e.g. due to el0 mixed-endian is not supported for
'setend', it will report a warning:

```
CPU[2] cannot support the emulation of setend
CPU 2 UP state arm64/isndep:starting (136) failed (-22)
CPU2: Booted secondary processor 0x0000000002 [0x414fd0c1]
```

To fix it, add a check for INSN_UNAVAILABLE status and skip the process.

The problem is because bpf_arch_text_copy() silently fails to write to the

-EFAULT being chucked away.

Update patch_map() to use CONFIG_EXECMEM instead of
CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX to check for vmalloc addresses.

Pull tracing cleanup from Steven Rostedt:
 "Remove second argument of __assign_str()

  The __assign_str() macro logic of the TRACE_EVENT() macro was
  optimized so that it no longer needs the second argument. The
  __assign_str() is always matched with __string() field that takes a
  field name and the source for that field:

    __string(field, source)

  The TRACE_EVENT() macro logic will save off the source value and then
  use that value to copy into the ring buffer via the __assign_str().

  Before commit c1fa617caeb0 ("tracing: Rework __assign_str() and
  __string() to not duplicate getting the string"), the __assign_str()
  needed the second argument which would perform the same logic as the
  __string() source parameter did. Not only would this add overhead, but
  it was error prone as if the __assign_str() source produced something
  different, it may not have allocated enough for the string in the ring
  buffer (as the __string() source was used to determine how much to
  allocate)

  Now that the __assign_str() just uses the same string that was used in
  __string() it no longer needs the source parameter. It can now be
  removed"
