Pull more clang LTO updates from Kees Cook:
 "Clang LTO x86 enablement.

  Full disclosure: while this has _not_ been in linux-next (since it
  initially looked like the objtool dependencies weren't going to make
  v5.12), it has been under daily build and runtime testing by Sami for
  quite some time. These x86 portions have been discussed on lkml, with
  Peter, Josh, and others helping nail things down.

  The bulk of the changes are to get objtool working happily. The rest
  of the x86 enablement is very small.

  Summary:

   - Generate __mcount_loc in objtool (Peter Zijlstra)

   - Support running objtool against vmlinux.o (Sami Tolvanen)

   - Clang LTO enablement for x86 (Sami Tolvanen)"

Add the --mcount option for generating __mcount_loc sections
needed for dynamic ftrace. Using this pass requires the kernel to
be compiled with -mfentry and CC_USING_NOP_MCOUNT to be defined
in Makefile.

7786032e52 objtool: Rework header include paths
Currently objtool headers are being included either by their base name
or included via ../ from a parent directory. In case of a base name usage:

 #include "warn.h"
 #include "arch_elf.h"

it does not make it apparent from which directory the file comes from.
To make it slightly better, and actually to avoid name clashes some arch
specific files have "arch_" suffix. And files from an arch folder have
to revert to including via ../ e.g:
 #include "../../elf.h"

With additional architectures support and the code base growth there is
a need for clearer headers naming scheme for multiple reasons:
1. to make it instantly obvious where these files come from (objtool
   itself / objtool arch|generic folders / some other external files),
2. to avoid name clashes of objtool arch specific headers, potential
   obtool arch generic headers and the system header files (there is
   /usr/include/elf.h already),
3. to avoid ../ includes and improve code readability.
4. to give a warm fuzzy feeling to developers who are mostly kernel
   developers and are accustomed to linux kernel headers arranging
   scheme.

Doesn't this make it instantly obvious where are these files come from?

 #include <objtool/warn.h>
 #include <arch/elf.h>

And doesn't it look nicer to avoid ugly ../ includes? Which also
guarantees this is elf.h from the objtool and not /usr/include/elf.h.

 #include <objtool/elf.h>

This patch defines and implements new objtool headers arranging
scheme. Which is:
- all generic headers go to include/objtool (similar to include/linux)
- all arch headers go to arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/arch (to get arch
  prefix). This is similar to linux arch specific "asm/*" headers but we
  are not abusing "asm" name and calling it what it is. This also helps
  to prevent name clashes (arch is not used in system headers or kernel
  exports).

To bring objtool to this state the following things are done:
1. current top level tools/objtool/ headers are moved into
   include/objtool/ subdirectory,
2. arch specific headers, currently only arch/x86/include/ are moved into
   arch/x86/include/arch/ and were stripped of "arch_" suffix,
3. new -I$(srctree)/tools/objtool/include include path to make
   includes like <objtool/warn.h> possible,
4. rewriting file includes,
5. make git not to ignore include/objtool/ subdirectory.

a non-zero exit code. This is not especially useful for a user but
any script that might wish to check that objtool --help is at least
available can't rely on the exit code to crudely check that, for
example, building an objtool executable succeeds.

627fce1480 objtool: Add ORC unwind table generation
Now that objtool knows the states of all registers on the stack for each
instruction, it's straightforward to generate debuginfo for an unwinder
to use.

Instead of generating DWARF, generate a new format called ORC, which is
more suitable for an in-kernel unwinder.  See
Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt for a more detailed description of
this new debuginfo format and why it's preferable to DWARF.

442f04c34a objtool: Add tool to perform compile-time stack metadata validation
This adds a host tool named objtool which has a "check" subcommand which
analyzes .o files to ensure the validity of stack metadata.  It enforces
a set of rules on asm code and C inline assembly code so that stack
traces can be reliable.

For each function, it recursively follows all possible code paths and
validates the correct frame pointer state at each instruction.

It also follows code paths involving kernel special sections, like
.altinstructions, __jump_table, and __ex_table, which can add
alternative execution paths to a given instruction (or set of
instructions).  Similarly, it knows how to follow switch statements, for
which gcc sometimes uses jump tables.

Here are some of the benefits of validating stack metadata:

a) More reliable stack traces for frame pointer enabled kernels

   Frame pointers are used for debugging purposes.  They allow runtime
   code and debug tools to be able to walk the stack to determine the
   chain of function call sites that led to the currently executing
   code.

   For some architectures, frame pointers are enabled by
   CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER.  For some other architectures they may be
   required by the ABI (sometimes referred to as "backchain pointers").

   For C code, gcc automatically generates instructions for setting up
   frame pointers when the -fno-omit-frame-pointer option is used.

   But for asm code, the frame setup instructions have to be written by
   hand, which most people don't do.  So the end result is that
   CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is honored for C code but not for most asm code.

   For stack traces based on frame pointers to be reliable, all
   functions which call other functions must first create a stack frame
   and update the frame pointer.  If a first function doesn't properly
   create a stack frame before calling a second function, the *caller*
   of the first function will be skipped on the stack trace.

   For example, consider the following example backtrace with frame
   pointers enabled:

     [<ffffffff81812584>] dump_stack+0x4b/0x63
     [<ffffffff812d6dc2>] cmdline_proc_show+0x12/0x30
     [<ffffffff8127f568>] seq_read+0x108/0x3e0
     [<ffffffff812cce62>] proc_reg_read+0x42/0x70
     [<ffffffff81256197>] __vfs_read+0x37/0x100
     [<ffffffff81256b16>] vfs_read+0x86/0x130
     [<ffffffff81257898>] SyS_read+0x58/0xd0
     [<ffffffff8181c1f2>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x76

   It correctly shows that the caller of cmdline_proc_show() is
   seq_read().

   If we remove the frame pointer logic from cmdline_proc_show() by
   replacing the frame pointer related instructions with nops, here's
   what it looks like instead:

     [<ffffffff81812584>] dump_stack+0x4b/0x63
     [<ffffffff812d6dc2>] cmdline_proc_show+0x12/0x30
     [<ffffffff812cce62>] proc_reg_read+0x42/0x70
     [<ffffffff81256197>] __vfs_read+0x37/0x100
     [<ffffffff81256b16>] vfs_read+0x86/0x130
     [<ffffffff81257898>] SyS_read+0x58/0xd0
     [<ffffffff8181c1f2>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x76

   Notice that cmdline_proc_show()'s caller, seq_read(), has been
   skipped.  Instead the stack trace seems to show that
   cmdline_proc_show() was called by proc_reg_read().

   The benefit of "objtool check" here is that because it ensures that
   *all* functions honor CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER, no functions will ever[*]
   be skipped on a stack trace.

   [*] unless an interrupt or exception has occurred at the very
       beginning of a function before the stack frame has been created,
       or at the very end of the function after the stack frame has been
       destroyed.  This is an inherent limitation of frame pointers.

b) 100% reliable stack traces for DWARF enabled kernels

   This is not yet implemented.  For more details about what is planned,
   see tools/objtool/Documentation/stack-validation.txt.

c) Higher live patching compatibility rate

   This is not yet implemented.  For more details about what is planned,
   see tools/objtool/Documentation/stack-validation.txt.

To achieve the validation, "objtool check" enforces the following rules:

1. Each callable function must be annotated as such with the ELF
   function type.  In asm code, this is typically done using the
   ENTRY/ENDPROC macros.  If objtool finds a return instruction
   outside of a function, it flags an error since that usually indicates
   callable code which should be annotated accordingly.

   This rule is needed so that objtool can properly identify each
   callable function in order to analyze its stack metadata.

2. Conversely, each section of code which is *not* callable should *not*
   be annotated as an ELF function.  The ENDPROC macro shouldn't be used
   in this case.

   This rule is needed so that objtool can ignore non-callable code.
   Such code doesn't have to follow any of the other rules.

3. Each callable function which calls another function must have the
   correct frame pointer logic, if required by CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER or
   the architecture's back chain rules.  This can by done in asm code
   with the FRAME_BEGIN/FRAME_END macros.

   This rule ensures that frame pointer based stack traces will work as
   designed.  If function A doesn't create a stack frame before calling
   function B, the _caller_ of function A will be skipped on the stack
   trace.

4. Dynamic jumps and jumps to undefined symbols are only allowed if:

   a) the jump is part of a switch statement; or

   b) the jump matches sibling call semantics and the frame pointer has
      the same value it had on function entry.

   This rule is needed so that objtool can reliably analyze all of a
   function's code paths.  If a function jumps to code in another file,
   and it's not a sibling call, objtool has no way to follow the jump
   because it only analyzes a single file at a time.

5. A callable function may not execute kernel entry/exit instructions.
   The only code which needs such instructions is kernel entry code,
   which shouldn't be be in callable functions anyway.

   This rule is just a sanity check to ensure that callable functions
   return normally.

It currently only supports x86_64.  I tried to make the code generic so
that support for other architectures can hopefully be plugged in
relatively easily.

On my Lenovo laptop with a i7-4810MQ 4-core/8-thread CPU, building the
kernel with objtool checking every .o file adds about three seconds of
total build time.  It hasn't been optimized for performance yet, so
there are probably some opportunities for better build performance.
