kernel: add kcov code coverage

kcov provides code coverage collection for coverage-guided fuzzing
(randomized testing).  Coverage-guided fuzzing is a testing technique
that uses coverage feedback to determine new interesting inputs to a
system.  A notable user-space example is AFL
(http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/).  However, this technique is not
widely used for kernel testing due to missing compiler and kernel
support.

kcov does not aim to collect as much coverage as possible.  It aims to
collect more or less stable coverage that is function of syscall inputs.
To achieve this goal it does not collect coverage in soft/hard
interrupts and instrumentation of some inherently non-deterministic or
non-interesting parts of kernel is disbled (e.g.  scheduler, locking).

Currently there is a single coverage collection mode (tracing), but the
API anticipates additional collection modes.  Initially I also
implemented a second mode which exposes coverage in a fixed-size hash
table of counters (what Quentin used in his original patch).  I've
dropped the second mode for simplicity.

This patch adds the necessary support on kernel side.  The complimentary
compiler support was added in gcc revision 231296.

We've used this support to build syzkaller system call fuzzer, which has
found 90 kernel bugs in just 2 months:

  https://github.com/google/syzkaller/wiki/Found-Bugs

We've also found 30+ bugs in our internal systems with syzkaller.
Another (yet unexplored) direction where kcov coverage would greatly
help is more traditional "blob mutation".  For example, mounting a
random blob as a filesystem, or receiving a random blob over wire.

Why not gcov.  Typical fuzzing loop looks as follows: (1) reset
coverage, (2) execute a bit of code, (3) collect coverage, repeat.  A
typical coverage can be just a dozen of basic blocks (e.g.  an invalid
input).  In such context gcov becomes prohibitively expensive as
reset/collect coverage steps depend on total number of basic
blocks/edges in program (in case of kernel it is about 2M).  Cost of
kcov depends only on number of executed basic blocks/edges.  On top of
that, kernel requires per-thread coverage because there are always
background threads and unrelated processes that also produce coverage.
With inlined gcov instrumentation per-thread coverage is not possible.

kcov exposes kernel PCs and control flow to user-space which is
insecure.  But debugfs should not be mapped as user accessible.

Based on a patch by Quentin Casasnovas.

Pull 'objtool' stack frame validation from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree adds a new kernel build-time object file validation feature
  (ONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION=y): kernel stack frame correctness validation.
  It was written by and is maintained by Josh Poimboeuf.

  The motivation: there's a category of hard to find kernel bugs, most
  of them in assembly code (but also occasionally in C code), that
  degrades the quality of kernel stack dumps/backtraces.  These bugs are
  hard to detect at the source code level.  Such bugs result in
  incorrect/incomplete backtraces most of time - but can also in some
  rare cases result in crashes or other undefined behavior.

  The build time correctness checking is done via the new 'objtool'
  user-space utility that was written for this purpose and which is
  hosted in the kernel repository in tools/objtool/.  The tool's (very
  simple) UI and source code design is shaped after Git and perf and
  shares quite a bit of infrastructure with tools/perf (which tooling
  infrastructure sharing effort got merged via perf and is already
  upstream).  Objtool follows the well-known kernel coding style.

  Objtool does not try to check .c or .S files, it instead analyzes the
  resulting .o generated machine code from first principles: it decodes
  the instruction stream and interprets it.  (Right now objtool supports
  the x86-64 architecture.)

  From tools/objtool/Documentation/stack-validation.txt:

   "The kernel CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION option enables a host tool named
    objtool which runs at compile time.  It has a "check" subcommand
    which analyzes every .o file and ensures the validity of its stack
    metadata.  It enforces a set of rules on asm code and C inline
    assembly code so that stack traces can be reliable.

    Currently it only checks frame pointer usage, but there are plans to
    add CFI validation for C files and CFI generation for asm files.

    For each function, it recursively follows all possible code paths
    and validates the correct frame pointer state at each instruction.

    It also follows code paths involving special sections, like
    .altinstructions, __jump_table, and __ex_table, which can add
    alternative execution paths to a given instruction (or set of
    instructions).  Similarly, it knows how to follow switch statements,
    for which gcc sometimes uses jump tables."

  When this new kernel option is enabled (it's disabled by default), the
  tool, if it finds any suspicious assembly code pattern, outputs
  warnings in compiler warning format:

    warning: objtool: rtlwifi_rate_mapping()+0x2e7: frame pointer state mismatch
    warning: objtool: cik_tiling_mode_table_init()+0x6ce: call without frame pointer save/setup
    warning: objtool:__schedule()+0x3c0: duplicate frame pointer save
    warning: objtool:__schedule()+0x3fd: sibling call from callable instruction with changed frame pointer

  ... so that scripts that pick up compiler warnings will notice them.
  All known warnings triggered by the tool are fixed by the tree, most
  of the commits in fact prepare the kernel to be warning-free.  Most of
  them are bugfixes or cleanups that stand on their own, but there are
  also some annotations of 'special' stack frames for justified cases
  such entries to JIT-ed code (BPF) or really special boot time code.

  There are two other long-term motivations behind this tool as well:

   - To improve the quality and reliability of kernel stack frames, so
     that they can be used for optimized live patching.

   - To create independent infrastructure to check the correctness of
     CFI stack frames at build time.  CFI debuginfo is notoriously
     unreliable and we cannot use it in the kernel as-is without extra
     checking done both on the kernel side and on the build side.

  The quality of kernel stack frames matters to debuggability as well,
  so IMO we can merge this without having to consider the live patching
  or CFI debuginfo angle"

kbuild: Add option to turn incompatible pointer check into error

With the introduction of the simple wait API we have two very
similar APIs in the kernel. For example wake_up() and swake_up()
is only one character away. Although the compiler will warn
happily the wrong usage it keeps on going an even links the kernel.
Thomas and Peter would rather like to see early missuses reported
as error early on.

In a first attempt we tried to wrap all swait and wait calls
into a macro which has an compile time type assertion. The result
was pretty ugly and wasn't able to catch all wrong usages.
woken_wake_function(), autoremove_wake_function() and wake_bit_function()
are assigned as function pointers. Wrapping them with a macro around is
not possible. Prefixing them with '_' was also not a real option
because there some users in the kernel which do use them as well.
All in all this attempt looked to intrusive and too ugly.

An alternative is to turn the pointer type check into an error which
catches wrong type uses. Obviously not only the swait/wait ones. That
isn't a bad thing either.

Instead of failing to build, instead just print a warning and disable

With CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION enabled, if the host system doesn't have
a development version of libelf installed, the build fails with errors
like:

  elf.h:22:18: fatal error: gelf.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated.

Instead of failing to build, instead just print a warning and disable
stack validation.
