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

the recently added Kexec Handover feature
- "mm: make mm->flags a bitmap and 64-bit on all arches" from Lorenzo

from David Hildenbrand "allows individual processes to opt-out of
THP=always into THP=madvise, without affecting other workloads on the
system".
It's a long story - the [1/N] changelog spells out the considerations
- "Add and use memdesc_flags_t" from Matthew Wilcox gets us started on
the memdesc project. Please see

- "introduce kasan.write_only option in hw-tags" from Yeoreum Yun
creates a KASAN read-only mode for ARM, using that architecture's
memory tagging feature. It is felt that a read-only mode KASAN is
suitable for use in production systems rather than debug-only

some tidying in the hugetlb folio allocation code
- "mm: establish const-correctness for pointer parameters" from Max

Validate that all indirect calls adhere to kCFI rules. Notably doing
nocfi indirect call to a cfi function is broken.
Apparently some Rust 'core' code violates this and explodes when ran
with FineIBT.
All the ANNOTATE_NOCFI_SYM sites are prime targets for attackers.
- runtime EFI is especially henous because it also needs to disable
IBT. Basically calling unknown code without CFI protection at
runtime is a massice security issue.
- Kexec image handover; if you can exploit this, you get to keep it :-)

OVMF EFI firmware needs access to the CA page to do SVSM protocol calls. For
example, when the SVSM implements an EFI variable store, such calls will be
necessary.
So add that to sev_es_efi_map_ghcbs() and also rename the function to reflect
the additional job it is doing now.

ce4100_mem_serial_in() unnecessarily contains 4 nested 'if's. That makes
the code hard to follow. Invert the conditions and return early if the
particular conditions do not hold.

Multiple testers reported the following new warning:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at arch/x86/mm/tlb.c:795
Which corresponds to:
if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DEBUG_VM) && WARN_ON_ONCE(prev != &init_mm &&
!cpumask_test_cpu(cpu, mm_cpumask(next))))
cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, mm_cpumask(next));
So the problem is that unuse_temporary_mm() explicitly clears
that bit; and it has to, because otherwise the flush_tlb_mm_range() in
__text_poke() will try sending IPIs, which are not at all needed.
See also:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241113095550.GBZzR3pg-RhJKPDazS@fat_crate.local/
Notably, the whole {,un}use_temporary_mm() thing requires preemption to
be disabled across it with the express purpose of keeping all TLB
nonsense CPU local, such that invalidations can also stay local etc.
However, as a side-effect, we violate this above WARN(), which sorta
makes sense for the normal case, but very much doesn't make sense here.
Change unuse_temporary_mm() to mark the mm_struct such that a further
exception (beyond init_mm) can be grafted, to keep the warning for all
the other cases.

Recently _pgd_alloc() was switched from using __get_free_pages() to
pagetable_alloc_noprof(), which might return a compound page in case
the allocation order is larger than 0.
On x86 this will be the case if CONFIG_MITIGATION_PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION
is set, even if PTI has been disabled at runtime.
When running as a Xen PV guest (this will always disable PTI), using
a compound page for a PGD will result in VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS being
triggered when the Xen code tries to pin the PGD.
Fix the Xen issue together with the not needed 8k allocation for a
PGD with PTI disabled by replacing PGD_ALLOCATION_ORDER with an
inline helper returning the needed order for PGD allocations.
Fixes: a9b3c355c2e6 ("asm-generic: pgalloc: provide generic __pgd_{alloc,free}")

Minimum version of binutils required to compile the kernel is 2.25.
This version correctly handles the "rep" prefixes, so it is possible
to remove the semicolon, which was used to support ancient versions
of GNU as.
Due to the semicolon, the compiler considers "rep; insn" (or its
alternate "rep\n\tinsn" form) as two separate instructions. Removing
the semicolon makes asm length calculations more accurate, consequently
making scheduling and inlining decisions of the compiler more accurate.
Removing the semicolon also enables assembler checks involving "rep"
prefixes. Trying to assemble e.g. "rep addl %eax, %ebx" results in:
Error: invalid instruction `add' after `rep'

arch/x86/platform/olpc/olpc_dt.c:222:12: warning: variable ‘len’ set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]
The compiler is right, the local variable 'len' is set but never used,
so remove it.

The percpu section is currently linked at absolute address 0, because
older compilers hard-coded the stack protector canary value at a fixed
offset from the start of the GS segment. Now that the canary is a
normal percpu variable, the percpu section does not need to be linked
at a specific address.
x86-64 will now calculate the percpu offsets as the delta between the
initial percpu address and the dynamically allocated memory, like other
architectures. Note that GSBASE is limited to the canonical address
width (48 or 57 bits, sign-extended). As long as the kernel text,
modules, and the dynamically allocated percpu memory are all in the
negative address space, the delta will not overflow this limit.

Before SLUB initialization, various subsystems used memblock_alloc to
allocate memory. In most cases, when memory allocation fails, an
immediate panic is required. To simplify this behavior and reduce
repetitive checks, introduce `memblock_alloc_or_panic`. This function
ensures that memory allocation failures result in a panic automatically,
improving code readability and consistency across subsystems that require
this behavior.

efi_memattr_init() added a sanity check to avoid firmware caused corruption.
The check is based on efi memmap entry numbers, but kexec only takes the
runtime related memmap entries thus this caused many false warnings, see

Instead of marking individual interrupts as safe to be migrated in
arbitrary contexts, mark the interrupt chips, which require the interrupt
to be moved in actual interrupt context, with the new IRQCHIP_MOVE_DEFERRED
flag. This makes more sense because this is a per interrupt chip property
and not restricted to individual interrupts.
That flips the logic from the historical opt-out to a opt-in model. This is
simpler to handle for other architectures, which default to unrestricted
affinity setting. It also allows to cleanup the redundant core logic
significantly.
All interrupt chips, which belong to a top-level domain sitting directly on
top of the x86 vector domain are marked accordingly, unless the related
setup code marks the interrupts with IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT, i.e. XEN.
No functional change intended.

The .head.text section contains code that may execute from a different
address than it was linked at. This is fragile, given that the x86 ABI
can refer to global symbols via absolute or relative references, and the
toolchain assumes that these are interchangeable, which they are not in
this particular case.
For this reason, all absolute symbol references are being removed from
code that is emitted into .head.text. Subsequently, build time
validation may be added that ensures that no absolute ELF relocations
exist at all in that ELF section.
In the case of the PVH code, the absolute references are in 32-bit code,
which gets emitted with R_X86_64_32 relocations, and these are even more
problematic going forward, as it prevents running the linker in PIE
mode.
So update the 64-bit code to avoid _pa(), and to only rely on relative
symbol references: these are always 32-bits wide, even in 64-bit code,
and are resolved by the linker at build time.

Xen puts virtual and physical addresses into ELF notes that are treated
by the linker as relocatable by default. Doing so is not only pointless,
given that the ELF notes are only intended for consumption by Xen before
the kernel boots. It is also a KASLR leak, given that the kernel's ELF
notes are exposed via the world readable /sys/kernel/notes.
So emit these constants in a way that prevents the linker from marking
them as relocatable. This involves place-relative relocations (which
subtract their own virtual address from the symbol value) and linker
provided absolute symbols that add the address of the place to the
desired value.

Calling C code via a different mapping than it was linked at is
problematic, because the compiler assumes that RIP-relative and absolute
symbol references are interchangeable. GCC in particular may use
RIP-relative per-CPU variable references even when not using -fpic.
So call xen_prepare_pvh() via its kernel virtual mapping on x86_64, so
that those RIP-relative references produce the correct values. This
matches the pre-existing behavior for i386, which also invokes
xen_prepare_pvh() via the kernel virtual mapping before invoking
startup_32 with paging disabled again.

After
0edb555a65d1 ("platform: Make platform_driver::remove() return void")
.remove() is (again) the right callback to implement for platform drivers.
Convert all platform drivers below arch/x86 to use .remove(), with the
eventual goal to drop struct platform_driver::remove_new(). As .remove() and
.remove_new() have the same prototypes, conversion is done by just changing
the structure member name in the driver initializer.

Pull more xen updates from Juergen Gross:
"A second round of Xen related changes and features:
- a small fix of the xen-pciback driver for a warning issued by
sparse
- support PCI passthrough when using a PVH dom0
- enable loading the kernel in PVH mode at arbitrary addresses,
avoiding conflicts with the memory map when running as a Xen dom0
using the host memory layout"
* tag 'for-linus-6.12-rc1a-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip:
x86/pvh: Add 64bit relocation page tables
x86/kernel: Move page table macros to header
x86/pvh: Set phys_base when calling xen_prepare_pvh()

The PVH entry point is 32bit. For a 64bit kernel, the entry point must
switch to 64bit mode, which requires a set of page tables. In the past,
PVH used init_top_pgt.
This works fine when the kernel is loaded at LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR, as the
page tables are prebuilt for this address. If the kernel is loaded at a
different address, they need to be adjusted.
__startup_64() adjusts the prebuilt page tables for the physical load
address, but it is 64bit code. The 32bit PVH entry code can't call it
to adjust the page tables, so it can't readily be re-used.
64bit PVH entry needs page tables set up for identity map, the kernel
high map and the direct map. pvh_start_xen() enters identity mapped.
Inside xen_prepare_pvh(), it jumps through a pv_ops function pointer
into the highmap. The direct map is used for __va() on the initramfs
and other guest physical addresses.
Add a dedicated set of prebuild page tables for PVH entry. They are
adjusted in assembly before loading.
Add XEN_ELFNOTE_PHYS32_RELOC to indicate support for relocation
along with the kernel's loading constraints. The maximum load address,
KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE - 1, is determined by a single pvh_level2_ident_pgt
page. It could be larger with more pages.

phys_base needs to be set for __pa() to work in xen_pvh_init() when
finding the hypercall page. Set it before calling into
xen_prepare_pvh(), which calls xen_pvh_init(). Clear it afterward to
avoid __startup_64() adding to it and creating an incorrect value.
