STATIC_CALL_TRAMP_STR() could not be used from .S files because
static_call_types.h was not safe to include in assembly as it pulled in C
types/constructs that are unavailable under __ASSEMBLY__.
Make the header assembly-friendly by adding __ASSEMBLY__ checks and
providing only the minimal definitions needed for assembly, so that it
can be safely included by .S code. This enables emitting the static call
trampoline symbol name via STATIC_CALL_TRAMP_STR() directly in assembly
sources, to be used with 'call' instruction. Also, move a certain
definitions out of __ASSEMBLY__ checks in compiler_types.h to meet
the dependencies.

No functional change for C compilation.

<title>objtool/klp: Introduce klp diff subcommand for diffing object files</title>

<id>dd590d4d57ebeeb826823c288741f2ed20f452af</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a new klp diff subcommand which performs a binary diff between two
object files and extracts changed functions into a new object which can
then be linked into a livepatch module.

This builds on concepts from the longstanding out-of-tree kpatch [1]
project which began in 2012 and has been used for many years to generate
livepatch modules for production kernels.  However, this is a complete
rewrite which incorporates hard-earned lessons from 12+ years of
maintaining kpatch.

Key improvements compared to kpatch-build:

  - Integrated with objtool: Leverages objtool's existing control-flow
    graph analysis to help detect changed functions.

  - Works on vmlinux.o: Supports late-linked objects, making it
    compatible with LTO, IBT, and similar.

  - Simplified code base: ~3k fewer lines of code.

  - Upstream: No more out-of-tree #ifdef hacks, far less cruft.

  - Cleaner internals: Vastly simplified logic for symbol/section/reloc
    inclusion and special section extraction.

  - Robust __LINE__ macro handling: Avoids false positive binary diffs
    caused by the __LINE__ macro by introducing a fix-patch-lines script
    (coming in a later patch) which injects #line directives into the
    source .patch to preserve the original line numbers at compile time.

Note the end result of this subcommand is not yet functionally complete.
Livepatch needs some ELF magic which linkers don't like:

  - Two relocation sections (.rela*, .klp.rela*) for the same text
    section.

  - Use of SHN_LIVEPATCH to mark livepatch symbols.

Unfortunately linkers tend to mangle such things.  To work around that,
klp diff generates a linker-compliant intermediate binary which encodes
the relevant KLP section/reloc/symbol metadata.

After module linking, a klp post-link step (coming soon) will clean up
the mess and convert the linked .ko into a fully compliant livepatch
module.

Note this subcommand requires the diffed binaries to have been compiled
with -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections, and processed with
'objtool --checksum'.  Those constraints will be handled by a klp-build
script introduced in a later patch.

Without '-ffunction-sections -fdata-sections', reliable object diffing
would be infeasible due to toolchain limitations:

  - For intra-file+intra-section references, the compiler might
    occasionally generated hard-coded instruction offsets instead of
    relocations.

  - Section-symbol-based references can be ambiguous:

    - Overlapping or zero-length symbols create ambiguity as to which
      symbol is being referenced.

    - A reference to the end of a symbol (e.g., checking array bounds)
      can be misinterpreted as a reference to the next symbol, or vice
      versa.

A potential future alternative to '-ffunction-sections -fdata-sections'
would be to introduce a toolchain option that forces symbol-based
(non-section) relocations.

In preparation for the objtool klp diff subcommand, add an
ANNOTATE_DATA_SPECIAL macro which annotates special section entries so
that objtool can determine their size and location and extract them
when needed.

  19811285784f ("lib/interval_tree: skip the check before go to the right subtree")

Sync it, and add it to objtool's sync-check.sh so they are more likely
to stay in sync going forward.

Pull more x86 updates from Borislav Petkov:

 - Remove a bunch of asm implementing condition flags testing in KVM's
   emulator in favor of int3_emulate_jcc() which is written in C

 - Replace KVM fastops with C-based stubs which avoids problems with the
   fastop infra related to latter not adhering to the C ABI due to their
   special calling convention and, more importantly, bypassing compiler
   control-flow integrity checking because they're written in asm

 - Remove wrongly used static branches and other ugliness accumulated
   over time in hyperv's hypercall implementation with a proper static
   function call to the correct hypervisor call variant

 - Add some fixes and modifications to allow running FRED-enabled
   kernels in KVM even on non-FRED hardware

 - Add kCFI improvements like validating indirect calls and prepare for
   enabling kCFI with GCC. Add cmdline params documentation and other
   code cleanups

 - Use the single-byte 0xd6 insn as the official #UD single-byte
   undefined opcode instruction as agreed upon by both x86 vendors

 - Other smaller cleanups and touchups all over the place

Pull perf tools updates from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

 - Extended 'perf annotate' with DWARF type information
   (--code-with-type) integration in the TUI, including a 'T'
   hotkey to toggle it

 - Enhanced 'perf bench mem' with new mmap() workloads and control
   over page/chunk sizes

 - Fix 'perf stat' error handling to correctly display unsupported
   events

 - Improved support for Clang cross-compilation

 - Refactored LLVM and Capstone disasm for modularity

 - Introduced the :X modifier to exclude an event from automatic
   regrouping

 - Adjusted KVM sampling defaults to use the "cycles" event to prevent
   failures

 - Added comprehensive support for decoding PowerPC Dispatch Trace Log
   (DTL)

 - Updated Arm SPE tracing logic for better analysis of memory and snoop
   details

 - Synchronized Intel PMU events and metrics with TMA 5.1 across
   multiple processor generations

 - Converted dependencies like libperl and libtracefs to be opt-in

 - Handle more Rust symbols in kallsyms ('N', debugging)

 - Improve the python binding to allow for python based tools to use
   more of the libraries, add a 'ilist' utility to test those new
   bindings

 - Various 'perf test' fixes

 - Kan Liang no longer a perf tools reviewer

<title>tools headers: kcfi: rename missed CONFIG_CFI_CLANG</title>

Commit 23ef9d439769 ("kcfi: Rename CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI")
missed one instance of CONFIG_CFI_CLANG. Rename it to match the original
kernel header. This addresses the following build warning:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header differences:
    diff -u tools/include/linux/cfi_types.h include/linux/cfi_types.h

Pull VFIO updates from Alex Williamson:

 - Use fdinfo to expose the sysfs path of a device represented by a vfio
   device file (Alex Mastro)

 - Mark vfio-fsl-mc, vfio-amba, and the reset functions for
   vfio-platform for removal as these are either orphaned or believed to
   be unused (Alex Williamson)

 - Add reviewers for vfio-platform to save it from also being marked for
   removal (Mostafa Saleh, Pranjal Shrivastava)

 - VFIO selftests, including basic sanity testing and minimal userspace
   drivers for testing against real hardware. This is also expected to
   provide integration with KVM selftests for KVM-VFIO interfaces (David
   Matlack, Josh Hilke)

 - Fix drivers/cdx and vfio/cdx to build without CONFIG_GENERIC_MSI_IRQ
   (Nipun Gupta)

 - Fix reference leak in hisi_acc (Miaoqian Lin)

 - Use consistent return for unsupported device feature (Alex Mastro)

 - Unwind using the correct memory free callback in vfio/pds (Zilin
   Guan)

 - Use IRQ_DISABLE_LAZY flag to improve handling of pre-PCI2.3 INTx and
   resolve stalled interrupt on ppc64 (Timothy Pearson)

 - Enable GB300 in nvgrace-gpu vfio-pci variant driver (Tushar Dave)

 - Misc:
    - Drop unnecessary ternary conversion in vfio/pci (Xichao Zhao)
    - Grammatical fix in nvgrace-gpu (Morduan Zang)
    - Update Shameer's email address (Shameer Kolothum)
    - Fix document build warning (Alex Williamson)
