Pull objtool fixes from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Handle __ubsan_handle_builtin_unreachable() correctly and treat it as
   noreturn

 - Allow architectures to select uaccess validation

 - Use the non-instrumented bit test for test_cpu_has() to prevent
   escape from non-instrumentable regions

 - Use arch_ prefixed atomics for JUMP_LABEL=n builds to prevent escape
   from non-instrumentable regions

 - Mark a few tiny inline as __always_inline to prevent GCC from
   bringing them out of line and instrumenting them

 - Mark the empty stub context_tracking_enabled() as always inline as
   GCC brings them out of line and instruments the empty shell

 - Annotate ex_handler_msr_mce() as dead end

<title>kbuild: factor out the common objtool arguments</title>

scripts/Makefile.build and scripts/link-vmlinux.sh have similar setups
for the objtool arguments.

It was difficult to factor out them because all the vmlinux build rules
were written in a shell script. It is somewhat tedious to touch the two
files every time a new objtool option is supported.

To reduce the code duplication, move the objtool for vmlinux.o into
scripts/Makefile.vmlinux_o. Then, move the common macros to Makefile.lib
so they are shared between Makefile.build and Makefile.vmlinux_o.

<title>kbuild: do not create *.prelink.o for Clang LTO or IBT</title>

When CONFIG_LTO_CLANG=y, additional intermediate *.prelink.o is created
for each module. Also, objtool is postponed until LLVM IR is converted
to ELF.

CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT works in a similar way to postpone objtool until
objects are merged together.

This commit stops generating *.prelink.o, so the build flow will look
similar with/without LTO.

The following figures show how the LTO build currently works, and
how this commit is changing it.

Current build flow
==================

 [1] single-object module

                                      $(LD)
           $(CC)                     +objtool              $(LD)
    foo.c --------------------&gt; foo.o -----&gt; foo.prelink.o -----&gt; foo.ko
                              (LLVM IR)          (ELF)       |    (ELF)
                                                             |
                                                 foo.mod.o --/
                                                 (LLVM IR)

 [2] multi-object module
                                      $(LD)
           $(CC)         $(AR)       +objtool               $(LD)
    foo1.c -----&gt; foo1.o -----&gt; foo.o -----&gt; foo.prelink.o -----&gt; foo.ko
                           |  (archive)          (ELF)       |    (ELF)
    foo2.c -----&gt; foo2.o --/                                 |
                 (LLVM IR)                       foo.mod.o --/
                                                 (LLVM IR)

  One confusion is that foo.o in multi-object module is an archive
  despite of its suffix.

New build flow
==============

 [1] single-object module

  Since there is only one object, there is no need to keep the LLVM IR.
  Use $(CC)+$(LD) to generate an ELF object in one build rule. When LTO
  is disabled, $(LD) is unneeded because $(CC) produces an ELF object.

               $(CC)+$(LD)+objtool              $(LD)
    foo.c ----------------------------&gt; foo.o ---------&gt; foo.ko
                                        (ELF)     |      (ELF)
                                                  |
                                      foo.mod.o --/
                                      (LLVM IR)

 [2] multi-object module

  Previously, $(AR) was used to combine LLVM IR files into an archive,
  but there was no technical reason to do so. Use $(LD) to merge them
  into a single ELF object.

                               $(LD)
             $(CC)            +objtool          $(LD)
    foo1.c ---------&gt; foo1.o ---------&gt; foo.o ---------&gt; foo.ko
                                 |      (ELF)     |      (ELF)
    foo2.c ---------&gt; foo2.o ----/                |
                     (LLVM IR)        foo.mod.o --/
                                      (LLVM IR)

Precisely speaking, when you get the stem of the path, you should use
$(patsubst $(obj)/%,%,...) instead of $(notdir ...).

I do not see this usecase, but if you create a composite object in a
subdirectory, the Makefile should look like this:

   obj-$(CONFIG_FOO) += dir/foo.o
   dir/foo-objs      := dir/foo1.o dir/foo2.o

The member objects should be assigned to dir/foo-objs instead of
foo-objs.

This syntax is more consistent with commit 54b8ae66ae1a ("kbuild:
change *FLAGS_&lt;basetarget&gt;.o to take the path relative to $(obj)").

Pull x86 CET-IBT (Control-Flow-Integrity) support from Peter Zijlstra:
 "Add support for Intel CET-IBT, available since Tigerlake (11th gen),
  which is a coarse grained, hardware based, forward edge
  Control-Flow-Integrity mechanism where any indirect CALL/JMP must
  target an ENDBR instruction or suffer #CP.

  Additionally, since Alderlake (12th gen)/Sapphire-Rapids, speculation
  is limited to 2 instructions (and typically fewer) on branch targets
  not starting with ENDBR. CET-IBT also limits speculation of the next
  sequential instruction after the indirect CALL/JMP [1].

  CET-IBT is fundamentally incompatible with retpolines, but provides,
  as described above, speculation limits itself"

<title>dt-bindings: kbuild: Use DTB files for validation</title>

Switch the DT validation to use DTB files directly instead of a DTS to
YAML conversion.

The original motivation for supporting validation on DTB files was to
enable running validation on a running system (e.g. 'dt-validate
/sys/firmware/fdt') or other cases where the original source DTS is not
available.

The YAML format was not without issues. Using DTBs with the schema type
information solves some of those problems. The YAML format relies on the
DTS source level information including bracketing of properties, size
directives, and phandle tags all of which are lost in a DTB file. While
standardizing the bracketing is a good thing, it does cause a lot of
extra warnings and churn to fix them.

Another issue has been signed types are not validated correctly as sign
information is not propagated to YAML. Using the schema type information
allows for proper handling of signed types. YAML also can't represent
the full range of 64-bit integers as numbers are stored as floats by
most/all parsers.

The DTB validation works by decoding property values using the type
information in the schemas themselves. The main corner case this does
not work for is matrix types where neither dimension is fixed. For
now, checking the dimensions in these cases are skipped.

<title>dt-bindings: kbuild: Pass DT_SCHEMA_FILES to dt-validate</title>

In preparation for supporting validation of DTB files, the full
processed schema will always be needed in order to extract type
information from it. Therefore, the processed schema containing only
what DT_SCHEMA_FILES specifies won't work. Instead, dt-validate has
gained an option, -l or --limit, to specify which schema(s) to use for
validation.

As the command line option is new, we the minimum dtschema version must be
updated.
