The 32-bit VDSO build on x86_64 uses fake_32bit_build.h to undefine
various kernel configuration options that are not suitable for the VDSO
context or may cause build issues when including kernel headers.

Undefine CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP in fake_32bit_build.h to
prepare for change in HugeTLB Vmemmap Optimization.

<title>x86/vdso: Use 32-bit CHECKFLAGS for compat vDSO</title>

<id>56f85f67b3e20b105fa23bf97bfc8b6d5cdbbef0</id>
<content type='text'>
When building the compat vDSO the CHECKFLAGS from the 64-bit kernel
are used. These are combined with the 32-bit CFLAGS. This confuses
sparse, producing false-positive warnings or potentially missing
real issues.

Manually override the CHECKFLAGS for the compat vDSO with the correct
32-bit configuration.

<title>x86/entry/vdso32: Work around libgcc unwinder bug</title>

<content type='text'>
The unwinder code in libgcc has a long standing bug which causes it to
fail to pick up the signal frame CFI flag. This is a generic bug
across all platforms.

It affects the __kernel_sigreturn and __kernel_rt_sigreturn vdso entry
points on i386. The x86-64 kernel doesn't provide a sigreturn stub,
and so there is no kernel-provided code that is affected on x86-64.

libgcc does have a legacy fallback path which happens to work as long
as the bytes immediately before each of the sigreturn functions fall
outside any function. This patch adds a nop before the ALIGN to each
of the sigreturn stubs to ensure that this is, indeed, the case.

The rest of the patch is just a comment which documents the invariants
that need to be maintained for this legacy path to work correctly.

This is a manifest bug: in the current vdso, __kernel_vsyscall is a
multiple of 16 bytes long and thus __kernel_sigreturn does not have
any padding in front of it.

Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/f3412cc3e8f66d1853cc9d572c0f2fab076872b1.camel@xry111.site

After commit:

  884961618ee5 ("x86/entry/vdso32: Remove open-coded DWARF in sigreturn.S")

building arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32/sigreturn.S with LLVM 15 fails with:

  &lt;instantiation&gt;:18:20: error: invalid register name
   .cfi_offset eflags, 64
                     ^
  arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32/sigreturn.S:33:2: note: while in macro instantiation
   STARTPROC_SIGNAL_FRAME 8
   ^

Support for eflags as an argument to .cfi_offset was added in the LLVM
16 development cycle:

    https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/67bd3c58c0c7389e39c5a2f4d3b1a30459ccf5b7 [1]

Only add this .cfi_offset directive if it is supported by the assembler
to clear up the error.

[ mingo: Tidied up the changelog and the comment a bit ]

When neither sysenter32 nor syscall32 is available (on either
FRED-capable 64-bit hardware or old 32-bit hardware), there is no
reason to do a bunch of stack shuffling in __kernel_vsyscall.
Unfortunately, just overwriting the initial "push" instructions will
mess up the CFI annotations, so suffer the 3-byte NOP if not
applicable.

Similarly, inline the int $0x80 when doing inline system calls in the
vdso instead of calling __kernel_vsyscall.

<title>x86/cpufeature: Replace X86_FEATURE_SYSENTER32 with X86_FEATURE_SYSFAST32</title>

In most cases, the use of "fast 32-bit system call" depends either on
X86_FEATURE_SEP or X86_FEATURE_SYSENTER32 || X86_FEATURE_SYSCALL32.
However, nearly all the logic for both is identical.

Define X86_FEATURE_SYSFAST32 which indicates that *either* SYSENTER32 or
SYSCALL32 should be used, for either 32- or 64-bit kernels.  This
defaults to SYSENTER; use SYSCALL if the SYSCALL32 bit is also set.

As this removes ALL existing uses of X86_FEATURE_SYSENTER32, which is
a kernel-only synthetic feature bit, simply remove it and replace it
with X86_FEATURE_SYSFAST32.

This leaves an unused alternative for a true 32-bit kernel, but that
should really not matter in any way.

The clearing of X86_FEATURE_SYSCALL32 can be removed once the patches
for automatically clearing disabled features has been merged.

The vdso32 sigreturn.S contains open-coded DWARF bytecode, which
includes a hack for gdb to not try to step back to a previous call
instruction when backtracing from a signal handler.

Neither of those are necessary anymore: the backtracing issue is
handled by ".cfi_entry simple" and ".cfi_signal_frame", both of which
have been supported for a very long time now, which allows the
remaining frame to be built using regular .cfi annotations.

Add a few more register offsets to the signal frame just for good
measure.

Replace the nop on fallthrough of the system call (which should never,
ever happen) with a ud2a trap.

A macro SYSCALL_ENTER_KERNEL was defined in sigreturn.S, with the
ability of overriding it. The override capability, however, is not
used anywhere, and the macro name is potentially confusing because it
seems to imply that sysenter/syscall could be used here, which is NOT
true: the sigreturn system calls MUST use int $0x80.
