This patchset allow fault injection to run on x86_64 and makes stacktrace
filter work as expected.  With this, we can test a device driver module
with fault injection more easily.


This patch (of 4):

FAULT_INJECTION_STACKTRACE_FILTER option was apparently disallowed on
x86_64 because of problems with the stack unwinder:

    commit 6d690dcac92a84f98fd774862628ff871b713660
    Author: Akinobu Mita &lt;akinobu.mita@gmail.com&gt;
    Date:   Sat May 12 10:36:53 2007 -0700

        fault injection: disable stacktrace filter for x86-64

However, there is no problems whatsoever with this today. Let's allow
it again.

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

Pull kernel hardening updates from Kees Cook:

 - Convert flexible array members, fix -Wstringop-overflow warnings, and
   fix KCFI function type mismatches that went ignored by maintainers
   (Gustavo A. R. Silva, Nathan Chancellor, Kees Cook)

 - Remove the remaining side-effect users of ksize() by converting
   dma-buf, btrfs, and coredump to using kmalloc_size_roundup(), add
   more __alloc_size attributes, and introduce full testing of all
   allocator functions. Finally remove the ksize() side-effect so that
   each allocation-aware checker can finally behave without exceptions

 - Introduce oops_limit (default 10,000) and warn_limit (default off) to
   provide greater granularity of control for panic_on_oops and
   panic_on_warn (Jann Horn, Kees Cook)

 - Introduce overflows_type() and castable_to_type() helpers for cleaner
   overflow checking

 - Improve code generation for strscpy() and update str*() kern-doc

 - Convert strscpy and sigphash tests to KUnit, and expand memcpy tests

 - Always use a non-NULL argument for prepare_kernel_cred()

 - Disable structleak plugin in FORTIFY KUnit test (Anders Roxell)

 - Adjust orphan linker section checking to respect CONFIG_WERROR (Xin
   Li)

 - Make sure siginfo is cleared for forced SIGKILL (haifeng.xu)

 - Fix um vs FORTIFY warnings for always-NULL arguments

 - Introduce overflows_type() and castable_to_type() helpers for cleaner
   overflow checking

 - Improve code generation for strscpy() and update str*() kern-doc

 - Convert strscpy and sigphash tests to KUnit, and expand memcpy tests

 - Always use a non-NULL argument for prepare_kernel_cred()

 - Disable structleak plugin in FORTIFY KUnit test (Anders Roxell)

 - Adjust orphan linker section checking to respect CONFIG_WERROR (Xin
   Li)

 - Make sure siginfo is cleared for forced SIGKILL (haifeng.xu)

 - Fix um vs FORTIFY warnings for always-NULL arguments

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - More userfaultfs work from Peter Xu

 - Several convert-to-folios series from Sidhartha Kumar and Huang Ying

 - Some filemap cleanups from Vishal Moola

 - David Hildenbrand added the ability to selftest anon memory COW
   handling

 - Some cpuset simplifications from Liu Shixin

 - Addition of vmalloc tracing support by Uladzislau Rezki

 - Some pagecache folioifications and simplifications from Matthew
   Wilcox

 - A pagemap cleanup from Kefeng Wang: we have VM_ACCESS_FLAGS, so use
   it

 - Miguel Ojeda contributed some cleanups for our use of the
   __no_sanitize_thread__ gcc keyword.

   This series should have been in the non-MM tree, my bad

 - Naoya Horiguchi improved the interaction between memory poisoning and
   memory section removal for huge pages

 - DAMON cleanups and tuneups from SeongJae Park

 - Tony Luck fixed the handling of COW faults against poisoned pages

 - Peter Xu utilized the PTE marker code for handling swapin errors

 - Hugh Dickins reworked compound page mapcount handling, simplifying it
   and making it more efficient

 - Removal of the autonuma savedwrite infrastructure from Nadav Amit and
   David Hildenbrand

 - zram support for multiple compression streams from Sergey Senozhatsky

 - David Hildenbrand reworked the GUP code's R/O long-term pinning so
   that drivers no longer need to use the FOLL_FORCE workaround which
   didn't work very well anyway

 - Mel Gorman altered the page allocator so that local IRQs can remnain
   enabled during per-cpu page allocations

 - Vishal Moola removed the try_to_release_page() wrapper

 - Stefan Roesch added some per-BDI sysfs tunables which are used to
   prevent network block devices from dirtying excessive amounts of
   pagecache

 - David Hildenbrand did some cleanup and repair work on KSM COW
   breaking

 - Nhat Pham and Johannes Weiner have implemented writeback in zswap's
   zsmalloc backend

 - Brian Foster has fixed a longstanding corner-case oddity in
   file[map]_write_and_wait_range()

 - sparse-vmemmap changes for MIPS, LoongArch and NIOS2 from Feiyang
   Chen

 - Shiyang Ruan has done some work on fsdax, to make its reflink mode
   work better under xfstests. Better, but still not perfect

 - Christoph Hellwig has removed the .writepage() method from several
   filesystems. They only need .writepages()

 - Yosry Ahmed wrote a series which fixes the memcg reclaim target
   beancounting

 - David Hildenbrand has fixed some of our MM selftests for 32-bit
   machines

 - Many singleton patches, as usual

The `build_error` crate provides a function `build_error` which
will panic at compile-time if executed in const context and,
by default, will cause a build error if not executed at compile
time and the optimizer does not optimise away the call.

The `CONFIG_RUST_BUILD_ASSERT_ALLOW` kernel option allows to
relax the default build failure and convert it to a runtime
check. If the runtime check fails, `panic!` will be called.

Its functionality will be exposed to users as a couple macros in
the `kernel` crate in the following patch, thus some documentation
here refers to them for simplicity.
