Merge tag 'powerpc-6.2-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

- Add powerpc qspinlock implementation optimised for large system
scalability and paravirt. See the merge message for more details

- Enable objtool to be built on powerpc to generate mcount locations

- Use a temporary mm for code patching with the Radix MMU, so the
writable mapping is restricted to the patching CPU

- Add an option to build the 64-bit big-endian kernel with the ELFv2
ABI

- Sanitise user registers on interrupt entry on 64-bit Book3S

- Many other small features and fixes

Merge tag 'x86_core_for_v6.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull x86 core updates from Borislav Petkov:

- Add the call depth tracking mitigation for Retbleed which has been
long in the making. It is a lighterweight software-only fix for
Skylake-based cores where enabling IBRS is a big hammer and causes a
significant performance impact.

What it basically does is, it aligns all kernel functions to 16 bytes
boundary and adds a 16-byte padding before the function, objtool
collects all functions' locations and when the mitigation gets
applied, it patches a call accounting thunk which is used to track
the call depth of the stack at any time.

When that call depth reaches a magical, microarchitecture-specific
value for the Return Stack Buffer, the code stuffs that RSB and
avoids its underflow which could otherwise lead to the Intel variant
of Retbleed.

This software-only solution brings a lot of the lost performance
back, as benchmarks suggest:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220915111039.092790446@infradead.org/

That page above also contains a lot more detailed explanation of the
whole mechanism

- Implement a new control flow integrity scheme called FineIBT which is
based on the software kCFI implementation and uses hardware IBT
support where present to annotate and track indirect branches using a
hash to validate them

- Other misc fixes and cleanups

objtool: Optimize elf_dirty_reloc_sym()

When moving a symbol in the symtab its index changes and any reloc
referring that symtol-table-index will need to be rewritten too.

In order to facilitate this, objtool simply marks the whole reloc
section 'changed' which will cause the whole section to be
re-generated.

However, finding the relocs that use any given symbol is implemented
rather crudely -- a fully iteration of all sections and their relocs.
Given that some builds have over 20k sections (kallsyms etc..)
iterating all that for *each* symbol moved takes a bit of time.

Instead have each symbol keep a list of relocs that reference it.

This *vastly* improves build times for certain configs.

objtool: Add option to generate prefix symbols

When code is compiled with:

-fpatchable-function-entry=${PADDING_BYTES},${PADDING_BYTES}

functions will have PADDING_BYTES of NOP in front of them.

objtool: Add option to generate prefix symbols

When code is compiled with:

-fpatchable-function-entry=${PADDING_BYTES},${PADDING_BYTES}

functions will have PADDING_BYTES of NOP in front of them. Unwinders
and other things that symbolize code locations will typically
attribute these bytes to the preceding function.

Given that these bytes nominally belong to the following symbol this
mis-attribution is confusing.

Inspired by the fact that CFI_CLANG emits __cfi_##name symbols to
claim these bytes, allow objtool to emit __pfx_##name symbols to do
the same.

Therefore add the objtool --prefix=N argument, to conditionally place
a __pfx_##name symbol at N bytes ahead of symbol 'name' when: all
these preceding bytes are NOP and name-N is an instruction boundary.

objtool: Avoid O(bloody terrible) behaviour -- an ode to libelf

Due to how gelf_update_sym*() requires an Elf_Data pointer, and how
libelf keeps Elf_Data in a linked list per section,
elf_update_symbol() ends up having to iterate this list on each
update to find the correct Elf_Data for the index'ed symbol.

By allocating one Elf_Data per new symbol, the list grows per new
symbol, giving an effective O(n^2) insertion time. This is obviously
bloody terrible.

Therefore over-allocate the Elf_Data when an extention is needed.
Except it turns out libelf disregards Elf_Scn::sh_size in favour of
the sum of Elf_Data::d_size. IOW it will happily write out all the
unused space and fill it with:

0000000000000000 0 NOTYPE LOCAL DEFAULT UND

entries (aka zeros). Which obviously violates the STB_LOCAL placement
rule, and is a general pain in the backside for not being the desired
behaviour.

Manually fix-up the Elf_Data size to avoid this problem before calling
elf_update().

This significantly improves performance when adding a significant
number of symbols.

GCC support is expected in the future[1], and additional "generic"
