[for-stable-4.19 PATCH v2 0/2] Backport patches to fix KASAN+LKDTM with recent clang on ARM64

[Nicolas Boichat]

Backport 2 patches that are required to make KASAN+LKDTM work
with recent clang (patch 2/2 has a complete description).
Tested on our chromeos-4.19 branch.
Also compile tested on x86-64 and arm64 with gcc this time
around.

Patch 1/2 adds a guard around noinstr that matches upstream,
to prevent a build issue, and has some minor context conflicts.
Patch 2/2 is a clean backport.

These patches have been merged to 5.4 stable already. We might
need to backport to older stable branches, but this is what I
could test for now.

Changes in v2:
 - Guard noinstr macro by __KERNEL__ && !__ASSEMBLY__ to prevent
   expansion in linker script and match upstream.

[for-stable-4.19 PATCH v2 1/2] vmlinux.lds.h: Create section for protection against instrumentation

[Nicolas Boichat]

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

commit 6553896666433e7efec589838b400a2a652b3ffa upstream.

Some code pathes, especially the low level entry code, must be protected
against instrumentation for various reasons:

 - Low level entry code can be a fragile beast, especially on x86.

 - With NO_HZ_FULL RCU state needs to be established before using it.

Having a dedicated section for such code allows to validate with tooling
that no unsafe functions are invoked.

Add the .noinstr.text section and the noinstr attribute to mark
functions. noinstr implies notrace. Kprobes will gain a section check
later.

Provide also a set of markers: instrumentation_begin()/end()

These are used to mark code inside a noinstr function which calls
into regular instrumentable text section as safe.

The instrumentation markers are only active when CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY is
enabled as the end marker emits a NOP to prevent the compiler from merging
the annotation points. This means the objtool verification requires a
kernel compiled with this option.

[Nicolas:
Guard noinstr macro in include/linux/compiler_types.h in __KERNEL__
&& !__ASSEMBLY__, otherwise noinstr is expanded in the linker
script construct.

Upstream does not have this problem as many macros were moved by
commit 71391bdd2e9a ("include/linux/compiler_types.h: don't pollute
userspace with macro definitions"). We take the minimal approach here
and just guard the new macro.

Minor context conflicts in:

Technically guarding with !__ASSEMBLY__ should be enough, but
there seems to be no reason to expose this new macro when
!__KERNEL__, so let's just match what upstream does.

Changes in v2:
 - Guard noinstr macro by __KERNEL__ && !__ASSEMBLY__ to prevent
   expansion in linker script and match upstream.

[for-stable-4.19 PATCH v2 2/2] lkdtm: don't move ctors to .rodata

[Nicolas Boichat]

From: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com>

commit 3f618ab3323407ee4c6a6734a37eb6e9663ebfb9 upstream.

When building with KASAN and LKDTM, clang may implictly generate an
asan.module_ctor function in the LKDTM rodata object. The Makefile moves
the lkdtm_rodata_do_nothing() function into .rodata by renaming the
file's .text section to .rodata, and consequently also moves the ctor
function into .rodata, leading to a boot time crash (splat below) when
the ctor is invoked by do_ctors().

Let's prevent this by marking the function as noinstr rather than
notrace, and renaming the file's .noinstr.text to .rodata. Marking the
function as noinstr will prevent tracing and kprobes, and will inhibit
any undesireable compiler instrumentation.

The ctor function (if any) will be placed in .text and will work
correctly.

Ok, trying this again, let's see what breaks :)
