There is a build issue with LD segmentation fault, while
CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is not enabled, as bellow.
scripts/link-vmlinux.sh: line 49: 3796 Segmentation fault
(core dumped) ${ld} ${ldflags} -o ${output} ${wl}--whole-archive
${objs} ${wl}--no-whole-archive ${wl}--start-group
${libs} ${wl}--end-group ${kallsymso} ${btf_vmlinux_bin_o} ${ldlibs}
The error occurs in older versions of the GNU ld with version earlier
than 2.36. It makes most sense to have a minimum LD version as
a dependency for HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION and eliminate
the impact of ".reloc .text, R_ARM_NONE, ." when
CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION is not enabled.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
"The biggest part is the virtual CPU hotplug that touches ACPI,
irqchip. We also have some GICv3 optimisation for pseudo-NMIs that has
been queued via the arm64 tree. Otherwise the usual perf updates,
kselftest, various small cleanups.
Core:
- Virtual CPU hotplug support for arm64 ACPI systems
- cpufeature infrastructure cleanups and making the FEAT_ECBHB ID
bits visible to guests
- CPU errata: expand the speculative SSBS workaround to more CPUs
- GICv3, use compile-time PMR values: optimise the way regular IRQs
are masked/unmasked when GICv3 pseudo-NMIs are used, removing the
need for a static key in fast paths by using a priority value
chosen dynamically at boot time
ACPI:
- 'acpi=nospcr' option to disable SPCR as default console for arm64
- Move some ACPI code (cpuidle, FFH) to drivers/acpi/arm64/
Perf updates:
- Rework of the IMX PMU driver to enable support for I.MX95
- Enable support for tertiary match groups in the CMN PMU driver
- Initial refactoring of the CPU PMU code to prepare for the fixed
instruction counter introduced by Arm v9.4
- Add missing PMU driver MODULE_DESCRIPTION() strings
- Hook up DT compatibles for recent CPU PMUs
Kselftest updates:
- Kernel mode NEON fp-stress
- Cleanups, spelling mistakes
Miscellaneous:
- arm64 Documentation update with a minor clarification on TBI
- Fix missing IPI statistics
- Implement raw_smp_processor_id() using thread_info rather than a
per-CPU variable (better code generation)
- Make MTE checking of in-kernel asynchronous tag faults conditional
on KASAN being enabled
- Minor cleanups, typos"

It is preferred to put drivers under drivers/ rather than under arch/.
The PMU drivers also depend on arm_pmu.c, so it's better to place them

Add the STACKLEAK gcc plugin to arm32 by adding the helper used by
stackleak common code: on_thread_stack(). It initialize the stack with the
poison value before returning from system calls which improves the kernel
security. Additionally, this disables the plugin in EFI stub code and
decompress code, which are out of scope for the protection.
Before the test on Qemu versatilepb board:
# echo STACKLEAK_ERASING > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT
lkdtm: Performing direct entry STACKLEAK_ERASING
lkdtm: XFAIL: stackleak is not supported on this arch (HAVE_ARCH_STACKLEAK=n)
After:
# echo STACKLEAK_ERASING > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/DIRECT
lkdtm: Performing direct entry STACKLEAK_ERASING
lkdtm: stackleak stack usage:

current: 280 bytes
lowest: 696 bytes
tracked: 696 bytes
untracked: 192 bytes
poisoned: 7220 bytes
low offset: 4 bytes

The current arm32 architecture does not yet support the
HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION feature. arm32 is widely used in
embedded scenarios, and enabling this feature would be beneficial for
reducing the size of the kernel image.
In order to make this work, we keep the necessary tables by annotating
them with KEEP, also it requires further changes to linker script to KEEP
some tables and wildcard compiler generated sections into the right place.
When using ld.lld for linking, KEEP is not recognized within the OVERLAY
command, and Ard proposed a concise method to solve this problem.
It boots normally with defconfig, vexpress_defconfig and tinyconfig.
The size comparison of zImage is as follows:
defconfig vexpress_defconfig tinyconfig
5137712 5138024 424192 no dce
5032560 4997824 298384 dce
2.0% 2.7% 29.7% shrink
When using smaller config file, there is a significant reduction in the
size of the zImage.
We also tested this patch on a commercially available single-board
computer, and the comparison is as follows:
a15eb_config
2161384 no dce
2092240 dce
3.2% shrink
The zImage size has been reduced by approximately 3.2%, which is 70KB on
2.1M.

The frame pointer unwinder relies on a standard layout of the stack
frame, consisting of (in downward order)
Calling frame:
PC <---------+
LR |
SP |
FP |
.. locals .. |
Callee frame: |
PC |
LR |
SP |
FP ----------+
where after storing its previous value on the stack, FP is made to point
at the location of PC in the callee stack frame, using the canonical
prologue:
mov ip, sp
stmdb sp!, {fp, ip, lr, pc}
sub fp, ip, #4
The ftrace code assumes that this activation record is pushed first, and
that any stack space for locals is allocated below this. Strict
adherence to this would imply that the caller's value of SP at the time
of the function call can always be obtained by adding 4 to FP (which
points to PC in the callee frame).
However, recent versions of GCC appear to deviate from this rule, and so
the only reliable way to obtain the caller's value of SP is to read it
from the activation record. Since this involves a read from memory
rather than simple arithmetic, we need to use the uaccess API here which
protects against inadvertent data aborts resulting from attempts to
dereference bogus FP values.
The plain uaccess API is ftrace instrumented itself, so to avoid
unbounded recursion, use the __get_kernel_nofault() primitive directly.

WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 112 at lkdtm_indirect_call+0x40/0x4c

lkdtm: FAIL: survived mismatched prototype function call!
lkdtm: Unexpected! This kernel (6.8.0-rc1+ armv7l) was built with CONFIG_CFI_CLANG=y
As you can see the LKDTM test fails, but I expect that this would be
expected behaviour in the permissive mode.
We are currently not implementing target and type for the CFI
breakpoint as this requires additional operand bundling compiler
extensions.
CPUs without breakpoint support cannot handle breakpoints naturally,
in these cases the permissive mode will not work, CFI will fall over
on an undefined instruction:
Internal error: Oops - undefined instruction: 0 [#1] PREEMPT ARM
CPU: 0 PID: 186 Comm: ash Tainted: G W 6.9.0-rc1+ #7
Hardware name: Gemini (Device Tree)
PC is at lkdtm_indirect_call+0x38/0x4c
LR is at lkdtm_CFI_FORWARD_PROTO+0x30/0x6c
This is reasonable I think: it's the best CFI can do to ascertain
the the control flow is not broken on these CPUs.

We find the root cause of this OOB is that arm does not clear stale stack
poison in the case of cpuidle.
This patch refer to arch/arm64/kernel/sleep.S to resolve this issue.
From cited commit [1] that explain the problem
Functions which the compiler has instrumented for KASAN place poison on
the stack shadow upon entry and remove this poison prior to returning.
In the case of cpuidle, CPUs exit the kernel a number of levels deep in
C code. Any instrumented functions on this critical path will leave
portions of the stack shadow poisoned.
If CPUs lose context and return to the kernel via a cold path, we
restore a prior context saved in __cpu_suspend_enter are forgotten, and
we never remove the poison they placed in the stack shadow area by
functions calls between this and the actual exit of the kernel.
Thus, (depending on stackframe layout) subsequent calls to instrumented
functions may hit this stale poison, resulting in (spurious) KASAN
splats to the console.
To avoid this, clear any stale poison from the idle thread for a CPU
prior to bringing a CPU online.

Notes:
[1]: Overhead
To measure the overhead we are comparing the following configurations:
(1) Baseline with CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=n
(2) Disabled by default (CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING=y &&
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_BY_DEFAULT=n)
(3) Enabled by default (CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING=y &&
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_BY_DEFAULT=y)
(4) Enabled at runtime (CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING=y &&
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_BY_DEFAULT=n && /proc/sys/vm/mem_profiling=1)
(5) Baseline with CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=y && allocating with __GFP_ACCOUNT
(6) Disabled by default (CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING=y &&
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_BY_DEFAULT=n) && CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=y
(7) Enabled by default (CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING=y &&
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_BY_DEFAULT=y) && CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=y
Performance overhead:
To evaluate performance we implemented an in-kernel test executing
multiple get_free_page/free_page and kmalloc/kfree calls with allocation
sizes growing from 8 to 240 bytes with CPU frequency set to max and CPU
affinity set to a specific CPU to minimize the noise. Below are results
from running the test on Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS with 6.8.0-rc1 kernel on
56 core Intel Xeon:
kmalloc pgalloc
(1 baseline) 6.764s 16.902s

Several architectures defines this stub for the graph tracer,
and it is needed for CFI, as it needs a separate symbol for it.
The trick from include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h to define
ftrace_stub_graph to ftrace_stub isn't working when using CFI.
Commit 883bbbffa5a4 contains the details.

With LPAE enabled, privileged no-access cannot be enforced using CPU
domains as such feature is not available. This patch implements PAN
by disabling TTBR0 page table walks while in kernel mode.
The ARM architecture allows page table walks to be split between TTBR0
and TTBR1. With LPAE enabled, the split is defined by a combination of
TTBCR T0SZ and T1SZ bits. Currently, an LPAE-enabled kernel uses TTBR0
for user addresses and TTBR1 for kernel addresses with the VMSPLIT_2G
and VMSPLIT_3G configurations. The main advantage for the 3:1 split is
that TTBR1 is reduced to 2 levels, so potentially faster TLB refill
(though usually the first level entries are already cached in the TLB).
The PAN support on LPAE-enabled kernels uses TTBR0 when running in user
space or in kernel space during user access routines (TTBCR T0SZ and
T1SZ are both 0). When running user accesses are disabled in kernel
mode, TTBR0 page table walks are disabled by setting TTBCR.EPD0. TTBR1
is used for kernel accesses (including loadable modules; anything
covered by swapper_pg_dir) by reducing the TTBCR.T0SZ to the minimum
(2^(32-7) = 32MB). To avoid user accesses potentially hitting stale TLB
entries, the ASID is switched to 0 (reserved) by setting TTBCR.A1 and
using the ASID value in TTBR1. The difference from a non-PAN kernel is
that with the 3:1 memory split, TTBR1 always uses 3 levels of page
tables.
As part of the change we are using preprocessor elif definied() clauses
so balance these clauses by converting relevant precedingt ifdef
clauses to if defined() clauses.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
"implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".
- More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series
"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"
- Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
scalability of zswap rb-tree".
- Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
swap-intensive situations.
- And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.
- zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series
"mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".
- In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is
hotplugged as system memory.
- Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
which does that.
- More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series
"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"
- In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving
policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion
rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory
environments appearing with CXL.
- Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".
- Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".
- Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
tools to parse and process out selftesting results.
- Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the
process has a large number of pte-mapped folios.
- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown
situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice.
- And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings"
Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's
series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.
- In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page
faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.
- In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction
test", Mark Brown did what the title claims.
- Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and
refactoring".
- Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
zswap kselftests" does as claimed.
- In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess
in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing
data caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.
- Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides
dramatic improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during
certain userfaultfd operations.
- Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
in his series
"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"
- Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability
improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It
realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark.
- Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".
- Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series
"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"
- Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging
of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio
memory compaction".
- Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages()
to an iterator".
- Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
"Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".
- Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".
- David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
total_mapcount()", a cleanup.
- Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".
- Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
