<content type='text'>
Like for KASAN, it's useful to temporarily disable KMSAN checks around,
e.g., redzone accesses.  Introduce kmsan_disable_current() and
kmsan_enable_current(), which are similar to their KASAN counterparts.

Make them reentrant in order to handle memory allocations in interrupt
context.  Repurpose the allow_reporting field for this.

<title>objtool: Fix compile failure when using the x32 compiler</title>

When compiling the v6.9-rc1 kernel with the x32 compiler, the following
errors are reported. The reason is that we take an "unsigned long"
variable and print it using "PRIx64" format string.

  for the reintroduction of the UBSAN signed integer overflow sanitizer
  so that we can continue to make improvements on the compiler side to
  make this sanitizer a more viable future security hardening option.

When update the latest upstream gcc and binutils, it generates some
objtool warnings on LoongArch, like this:

  arch/loongarch/kernel/entry.o: warning: objtool: ret_from_fork+0x0: unreachable instruction

We can see that the reloc sym name is local label instead of section
in relocation section '.rela.discard.unwind_hints', in this case, the
reloc sym type is STT_NOTYPE instead of STT_SECTION. Let us check it
to not return -1, then use reloc-&gt;sym-&gt;offset instead of reloc addend
which is 0 to find the corresponding instruction.

Here are some detailed info:

When update the latest upstream gcc and binutils, it generates more
objtool warnings on LoongArch, like this:

  init/main.o: warning: objtool: unexpected relocation symbol type in .rela.discard.unreachable

We can see that the reloc sym name is local label instead of section in
relocation section '.rela.discard.unreachable', in this case, the reloc
sym type is STT_NOTYPE instead of STT_SECTION.

As suggested by Peter Zijlstra, we add a "local_label" member in struct
symbol, then set it as true if symbol type is STT_NOTYPE and symbol name
starts with ".L" string in classify_symbols().

Let's check reloc-&gt;sym-&gt;local_label to not return -1 in add_dead_ends(),
and also use reloc-&gt;sym-&gt;offset instead of reloc addend which is 0 to
find the corresponding instruction. At the same time, let's replace the
variable "addend" with "offset" to reflect the reality.

Here are some detailed info:
[fedora@linux 6.8.test]$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 14.0.1 20240129 (experimental)
[fedora@linux 6.8.test]$ as --version
GNU assembler (GNU Binutils) 2.42.50.20240129
[fedora@linux 6.8.test]$ readelf -r init/main.o | grep -A 2 "rela.discard.unreachable"
Relocation section '.rela.discard.unreachable' at offset 0x6028 contains 1 entry:
  Offset          Info           Type           Sym. Value    Sym. Name + Addend

When update the latest upstream gcc and binutils, it generates more
objtool warnings on LoongArch, like this:

  init/main.o: warning: objtool: unexpected relocation symbol type in .rela.discard.unreachable

We can see that the reloc sym name is local label instead of section in
relocation section '.rela.discard.unreachable', in this case, the reloc
sym type is STT_NOTYPE instead of STT_SECTION.

As suggested by Peter Zijlstra, we add a "local_label" member in struct
symbol, then set it as true if symbol type is STT_NOTYPE and symbol name
starts with ".L" string in classify_symbols().

Let's check reloc-&gt;sym-&gt;local_label to not return -1 in add_dead_ends(),
and also use reloc-&gt;sym-&gt;offset instead of reloc addend which is 0 to
find the corresponding instruction. At the same time, let's replace the

<title>objtool: Fix UNWIND_HINT_{SAVE,RESTORE} across basic blocks</title>

If SAVE and RESTORE unwind hints are in different basic blocks, and
objtool sees the RESTORE before the SAVE, it errors out with:

  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: vmw_port_hb_in+0x242: objtool isn't smart enough to handle this CFI save/restore combo

In such a case, defer following the RESTORE block until the
straight-line path gets followed later.

<title>objtool: Fix calloc call for new -Walloc-size</title>

GCC 14 introduces a new -Walloc-size included in -Wextra which errors out
like:
```
check.c: In function ‘cfi_alloc’:
check.c:294:33: error: allocation of insufficient size ‘1’ for type ‘struct cfi_state’ with size ‘320’ [-Werror=alloc-size]
  294 |         struct cfi_state *cfi = calloc(sizeof(struct cfi_state), 1);
      |                                 ^~~~~~
```

The calloc prototype is:
```
void *calloc(size_t nmemb, size_t size);
```

So, just swap the number of members and size arguments to match the prototype, as
we're initialising 1 struct of size `sizeof(struct ...)`. GCC then sees we're not
doing anything wrong.
