When decoding an instruction or handling a perf event that references an
LDT segment, if we don't have a valid user context, trying to access the
LDT by any means other than SLDT is racy. Certainly, using
current->active_mm is wrong, as active_mm can point to a real user mm when
CR3 and LDTR no longer reference that mm.
Clean up the code. If nmi_uaccess_okay() says we don't have a valid
context, just fail. Otherwise use current->mm.

At this point we are always working out of an uptodate
text_poke_array, there's no need for smp_text_poke_int3_handler()
to read via the int3_vec indirection - remove it.
x86/alternatives: Introduce 'struct smp_text_poke_array' and move tp_vec and tp_vec_nr to it
struct text_poke_array is an equivalent structure to these global variables:
static struct smp_text_poke_loc tp_vec[TP_VEC_MAX];
static int tp_vec_nr;
Note that we intentionally mirror much of the naming of
'struct text_poke_int3_vec', which will further highlight
the unecessary layering going on in this code, and will
ease its removal.
x86/alternatives: Remove the 'addr == NULL means forced-flush' hack from smp_text_poke_batch_finish()/smp_text_poke_batch_flush()/text_poke_addr_ordered()
There's this weird hack used by smp_text_poke_batch_finish() to indicate
a 'forced flush':
smp_text_poke_batch_flush(NULL);
Just open-code the vector-flush in a straightforward fashion:
x86/alternatives: Add text_mutex) assert to smp_text_poke_batch_flush()
It's possible to escape the text_mutex-held assert in
smp_text_poke_batch_process() if the caller uses a properly
batched and sorted series of patch requests, so add
an explicit lockdep_assert_held() to make sure it's
held by all callers.
All text_poke_int3_*() APIs will call either smp_text_poke_batch_process()
or smp_text_poke_batch_flush() internally.
The text_mutex must be held, because tp_vec and tp_vec_nr et al
are all globals, and the INT3 patching machinery itself relies on
external serialization.
x86/alternatives: Rename 'text_poke_loc_init()' to 'text_poke_int3_loc_init()'
This name is actively confusing as well, because the simple text_poke*()
APIs use MM-switching based code patching, while text_poke_loc_init()
is part of the INT3 based text_poke_int3_*() machinery that is an
additional layer of functionality on top of regular text_poke*() functionality.
Rename it to text_poke_int3_loc_init() to make it clear which layer
it belongs to.
x86/alternatives: Rename 'text_poke_queue()' to 'smp_text_poke_batch_add()'
This name is actively confusing as well, because the simple text_poke*()
APIs use MM-switching based code patching, while text_poke_queue()

x86/alternatives: Remove the confusing, inaccurate & unnecessary 'temp_mm_state_t' abstraction
So the temp_mm_state_t abstraction used by use_temporary_mm() and
unuse_temporary_mm() is super confusing:
- The whole machinery is about temporarily switching to the
text_poke_mm utility MM that got allocated during bootup
for text-patching purposes alone:
temp_mm_state_t prev;
/*
* Loading the temporary mm behaves as a compiler barrier, which
* guarantees that the PTE will be set at the time memcpy() is done.
*/
prev = use_temporary_mm(text_poke_mm);
- Yet the value that gets saved in the temp_mm_state_t variable
is not the temporary MM ... but the previous MM...
- Ie. we temporarily put the non-temporary MM into a variable
that has the temp_mm_state_t type. This makes no sense whatsoever.
- The confusion continues in unuse_temporary_mm():
Here we unuse an MM that is ... not the temporary MM, but the
previous MM. :-/
Fix up all this confusion by removing the unnecessary layer of
abstraction and using a bog-standard 'struct mm_struct *prev_mm'
variable to save the MM to.

x86/alternatives: Improve code-patching scalability by removing false sharing in poke_int3_handler()
eBPF programs can be run 50,000,000 times per second on busy servers.
Whenever /proc/sys/kernel/bpf_stats_enabled is turned off,
hundreds of calls sites are patched from text_poke_bp_batch()
and we see a huge loss of performance due to false sharing
on bp_desc.refs lasting up to three seconds.
Fix this by replacing bp_desc.refs with a per-cpu bp_refs.

After this patch:
$ sysctl -wq kernel.bpf_stats_enabled=0

Ie. text-patching performance improved 3700x: from 2.65 seconds
to 0.0007 seconds.

even once in my tests, add an unlikely() annotation, because this appears

Before commit 6c6c1fc09de3 ("modpost: require a MODULE_DESCRIPTION()")
we used to warn about missing module descriptions, but only when
building with extra warnigns (ie 'W=1').
After that commit the warning became an unconditional hard error.
And it turns out not all modules have been converted despite the claims
to the contrary. As reported by Damian Tometzki, the slub KUnit test
didn't have a module description, and apparently nobody ever really
noticed.
The reason nobody noticed seems to be that the slub KUnit tests get
disabled by SLUB_TINY, which also ends up disabling a lot of other code,
both in tests and in slub itself. And so anybody doing full build tests
didn't actually see this failre.
So let's disable SLUB_TINY for build-only tests, since it clearly ends
up limiting build coverage. Also turn the missing module descriptions
error back into a warning, but let's keep it around for non-'W=1'
builds.

# turbostat -c 1100-1151

Both errors are caused by parse_cpu_str() reaching its limit of CPU_SUBSET_MAXCPUS.
It's a good idea to limit the maximum cpu number being parsed, but 1024 is too low.

brings support for parsing cpu numbers >= 1024.
Increase CPU_SUBSET_MAXCPUS to 8192, a common setting for CONFIG_NR_CPUS on x86_64.

The code assumes that hierarchical interrupt domains are enabled

in mainline because both architectures which enable that code have
hierarchical domains enabled. Though it breaks the ia64 build,
which enables the functionality, but does not have hierarchical
domains.

An attempt to delay the multiplier/frequency update to the next tick

kbuild: rpm-pkg: build a debuginfo RPM
The rpm-pkg make target currently suffers from a few issues related to
debuginfo:
1. debuginfo for things built into the kernel (vmlinux) is not available
in any RPM produced by make rpm-pkg. This makes using tools like
systemtap against a make rpm-pkg kernel impossible.
2. debug source for the kernel is not available. This means that
commands like 'disas /s' in gdb, which display source intermixed with
assembly, can only print file names/line numbers which then must be
painstakingly resolved to actual source in a separate editor.
3. debuginfo for modules is available, but it remains bundled with the
.ko files that contain module code, in the main kernel RPM. This is a
waste of space for users who do not need to debug the kernel (i.e.
most users).
Address all of these issues by additionally building a debuginfo RPM
when the kernel configuration allows for it, in line with standard
patterns followed by RPM distributors. With these changes:
1. systemtap now works (when these changes are backported to 6.11, since
systemtap lags a bit behind in compatibility), as verified by the
following simple test script:
129 op_str = blk_op_name[op];
130
131 return op_str;
132 }
0xffffffff814c8768 <+40>: jmp 0xffffffff81d01360 <__x86_return_thunk>
End of assembler dump.
3. The size of the main kernel package goes down substantially,
especially if many modules are built (quite typical). Here is a
comparison of installed size of the kernel package (configured with
allmodconfig, dwarf4 debuginfo, and module compression turned off)
before and after this patch:
# rpm -qi kernel-6.13* | grep -E '^(Version|Size)'
Version : 6.13.0postpatch+
Size : 1382874089
Version : 6.13.0prepatch+
Size : 17870795887
This is a ~92% size reduction.
Note that a debuginfo package can only be produced if the following
configs are set:
- CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y
- CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS=n
- CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT=n
The first of these is obvious - we can't produce debuginfo if the build
does not generate it. The second two requirements can in principle be
removed, but doing so is difficult with the current approach, which uses
a generic rpmbuild script find-debuginfo.sh that processes all packaged
executables. If we want to remove those requirements the best path
forward is likely to add some debuginfo extraction/installation logic to
the modules_install target (controllable by flags). That way, it's
easier to operate on modules before they're compressed, and the logic
can be reused by all packaging targets.

kconfig: merge_config: use an empty file as initfile
The scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh script requires an existing
$INITFILE (or the $1 argument) as a base file for merging Kconfig
fragments. However, an empty $INITFILE can serve as an initial starting
point, later referenced by the KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG Makefile variable
if -m is not used. This variable can point to any configuration file
containing preset config symbols (the merged output) as stated in
Documentation/kbuild/kconfig.rst. When -m is used $INITFILE will
contain just the merge output requiring the user to run make (i.e.
KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=<$INITFILE> make <allnoconfig/alldefconfig> or make
olddefconfig).
Instead of failing when `$INITFILE` is missing, create an empty file and
use it as the starting point for merges.

sh: Align .bss section padding to 8-byte boundary
J2-based devices expect to find a device tree blob at the end of the
.bss section. As of a77725a9a3c5 ("scripts/dtc: Update to upstream
version v1.6.1-19-g0a3a9d3449c8"), libfdt enforces 8-byte alignment
for the DTB, causing J2 devices to fail early in sh_fdt_init().
As the J2 loader firmware calculates the DTB location based on the kernel
image .bss section size rather than the __bss_stop symbol offset, the
required alignment can't be enforced with BSS_SECTION(0, PAGE_SIZE, 8).
To fix this, inline a modified version of the above macro which grows
.bss by the required size. While this change affects all existing SH
boards, it should be benign on platforms which don't need this alignment.

Miroslav reported that the changes for handling the inconsistencies in the
coarse time getters result in a regression on the adjtimex() side.
There are two issues:
1) The forwarding of the base time moves the update out of the original
period and establishes a new one.
2) The clearing of the accumulated NTP error is changing the behaviour as
well.
Userspace expects that multiplier/frequency updates are in effect, when the
syscall returns, so delaying the update to the next tick is not solving the
problem either.
Revert the change, so that the established expectations of user space
implementations (ntpd, chronyd) are restored. The re-introduced
inconsistency of the coarse time getters will be addressed in a subsequent
fix.
