random: vDSO: avoid call to memset() when zeroing reserved parameter

After a recent change in LLVM [1], builds with the random vDSO
implementation, such as PowerPC and RISC-V, fail when checking the vDSO:

arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg: dynamic relocations are not supported
arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso.so.dbg: dynamic relocations are not supported

memset() is now generated when zeroing params->reserved for some builds
because LLVM has an optimization (now run in more instances) that can
recognize at compile time when it is assigning a static value to a
contiguous area of memory and turn that into a call to memset(). Both
clang and GCC assume memset() is always available [2].

Clang has an internal fiddly hook, -max-store-memset, which we can set
to a high number, to disable generating out of line memset calls [3].
Similarly, GCC has -finline-stringops=memset to do the same [4], should
this issue ever hit future version of GCC. While these options wouldn't
make sense for normal kernel code, it is fine for the extremely limited
and intentionally compact vDSO code.

arch/riscv: add dual vdso creation logic and select vdso based on hw

Shadow stack instructions are taken from the Zimop ISA extension,
which is mandated on RVA23. Any userspace with shadow stack
instructions in it will fault on hardware that doesn't have support
for Zimop. Thus, a shadow stack-enabled userspace can't be run on
hardware that doesn't support Zimop.

It's not known how Linux userspace providers will respond to this kind
of binary fragmentation. In order to keep kernel portable across
different hardware, 'arch/riscv/kernel/vdso_cfi' is created which has
Makefile logic to compile 'arch/riscv/kernel/vdso' sources with CFI
flags, and 'arch/riscv/kernel/vdso.c' is modified to select the
appropriate vdso depending on whether the underlying CPU implements
the Zimop extension. Since the offset of vdso symbols will change due
to having two different vdso binaries, there is added logic to include
a new generated vdso offset header and dynamically select the offset
(like for rt_sigreturn).

User mode tasks compiled with Zicfilp may call indirectly into the

pads into the vdso. Landing pad instructions in the vdso will be
no-ops for tasks which have not enabled landing pads. Furthermore, add
support for the C sources of the vdso to be compiled with shadow stack
and landing pads enabled as well.

Landing pad and shadow stack instructions are emitted only when the
VDSO_CFI cflags option is defined during compile.

kbuild: use $(src) instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for source directory

Kbuild conventionally uses $(obj)/ for generated files, and $(src)/ for
checked-in source files. It is merely a convention without any functional
difference. In fact, $(obj) and $(src) are exactly the same, as defined
in scripts/Makefile.build:

src := $(obj)

When the kernel is built in a separate output directory, $(src) does
not accurately reflect the source directory location. While Kbuild
resolves this discrepancy by specifying VPATH=$(srctree) to search for
source files, it does not cover all cases. For example, when adding a
header search path for local headers, -I$(srctree)/$(src) is typically
passed to the compiler.

This introduces inconsistency between upstream and downstream Makefiles
because $(src) is used instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for the latter.

To address this inconsistency, this commit changes the semantics of
$(src) so that it always points to the directory in the source tree.

Going forward, the variables used in Makefiles will have the following
meanings:

$(obj) - directory in the object tree
$(src) - directory in the source tree (changed by this commit)
$(objtree) - the top of the kernel object tree
$(srctree) - the top of the kernel source tree

Consequently, $(srctree)/$(src) in upstream Makefiles need to be replaced
with $(src).

kbuild: unify vdso_install rules

Currently, there is no standard implementation for vdso_install,
leading to various issues:

1. Code duplication

Many architectures duplicate similar code just for copying files
to the install destination.

Some architectures (arm, sparc, x86) create build-id symlinks,
introducing more code duplication.

2. Unintended updates of in-tree build artifacts

The vdso_install rule depends on the vdso files to install.
It may update in-tree build artifacts. This can be problematic,
as explained in commit 19514fc665ff ("arm, kbuild: make
"make install" not depend on vmlinux").

3. Broken code in some architectures

Makefile code is often copied from one architecture to another
without proper adaptation.

'make vdso_install' for parisc does not work.

'make vdso_install' for s390 installs vdso64, but not vdso32.

To address these problems, this commit introduces a generic vdso_install
rule.

Architectures that support vdso_install need to define vdso-install-y
in arch/*/Makefile. vdso-install-y lists the files to install.

For example, arch/x86/Makefile looks like this:

vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_64) += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso64.so.dbg
vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI) += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdsox32.so.dbg
vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_32) += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg
vdso-install-$(CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION) += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg

These files will be installed to $(MODLIB)/vdso/ with the .dbg suffix,
if exists, stripped away.

vdso-install-y can optionally take the second field after the colon
separator. This is needed because some architectures install a vdso
file as a different base name.

The following is a snippet from arch/arm64/Makefile.

vdso-install-$(CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO) += arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/vdso.so.dbg:vdso32.so

This will rename vdso.so.dbg to vdso32.so during installation. If such
architectures change their implementation so that the base names match,
this workaround will go away.

riscv: Implement Shadow Call Stack

Implement CONFIG_SHADOW_CALL_STACK for RISC-V. When enabled, the
compiler injects instructions to all non-leaf C functions to
store the return address to the shadow stack and unconditionally
load it again before returning, which makes it harder to corrupt
the return address through a stack overflow, for example.

The active shadow call stack pointer is stored in the gp
register, which makes SCS incompatible with gp relaxation. Use
--no-relax-gp to ensure gp relaxation is disabled and disable
global pointer loading. Add SCS pointers to struct thread_info,
implement SCS initialization, and task switching

RISC-V: Add hwprobe vDSO function and data

Add a vDSO function __vdso_riscv_hwprobe, which can sit in front of the
riscv_hwprobe syscall and answer common queries. We stash a copy of
static answers for the "all CPUs" case in the vDSO data page. This data
is private to the vDSO, so we can decide later to change what's stored
there or under what conditions we defer to the syscall. Currently all
data can be discovered at boot, so the vDSO function answers all queries
when the cpumask is set to the "all CPUs" hint.

There's also a boolean in the data that lets the vDSO function know that
all CPUs are the same. In that case, the vDSO will also answer queries
for arbitrary CPU masks in addition to the "all CPUs" hint.

vdso: Improve cmd_vdso_check to check all dynamic relocations

The actual intention is that no dynamic relocation exists in the VDSO. For
this the VDSO build validates that the resulting .so file does not have any
relocations which are specified via $(ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS) per architecture,
which is fragile as e.g. ARM64 lacks an entry for R_AARCH64_RELATIVE. Aside
of that ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS is a misnomer as it checks for relative
relocations too.

However, some GNU ld ports produce unneeded R_*_NONE relocation entries. If
a port fails to determine the exact .rel[a].dyn size, the trailing zeros
become R_*_NONE relocations. E.g. ld's powerpc port recently fixed
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29540). R_*_NONE are
generally a no-op in the dynamic loaders. So just ignore them.

Remove the ARCH_REL_TYPE_ABS defines and just validate that the resulting
.so file does not contain any R_* relocation entries except R_*_NONE.

riscv: vdso: fix section overlapping under some conditions

lkp reported a build error, I tried the config and can reproduce
build error as below:

VDSOLD arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso.so.dbg
ld.lld: error: section .note file range overlaps with .text
>>> .note range is [0x7C8, 0x803]

ld.lld: error: section .text file range overlaps with .dynamic
>>> .text range is [0x800, 0x1993]

ld.lld: error: section .note virtual address range overlaps with .text
>>> .note range is [0x7C8, 0x803]
>>> .text range is [0x800, 0x1993]

Fix it by setting DISABLE_BRANCH_PROFILING which will disable branch
tracing for vdso, thus avoid useless _ftrace_annotated_branch section
and _ftrace_branch section. Although we can also fix it by removing
the hardcoded .text begin address, but I think that's another story
and should be put into another patch.

RISC-V: vdso: Do not add missing symbols to version section in linker script

Recently, ld.lld moved from '--undefined-version' to
'--no-undefined-version' as the default, which breaks the compat vDSO
build:

ld.lld: error: version script assignment of 'LINUX_4.15' to symbol '__vdso_gettimeofday' failed: symbol not defined
ld.lld: error: version script assignment of 'LINUX_4.15' to symbol '__vdso_clock_gettime' failed: symbol not defined
ld.lld: error: version script assignment of 'LINUX_4.15' to symbol '__vdso_clock_getres' failed: symbol not defined

These symbols are not present in the compat vDSO or the regular vDSO for
32-bit but they are unconditionally included in the version section of
the linker script, which is prohibited with '--no-undefined-version'.

Fix this issue by only including the symbols that are actually exported
in the version section of the linker script.
