Pull x86 fixes from Borislav Petkov:
"I hope this is the last batch of x86/urgent updates for this round:
- Remove superfluous EFI PGD range checks which lead to those
assertions failing with certain kernel configs and LLVM.
- Disable setting breakpoints on facilities involved in #DB exception
handling to avoid infinite loops.
- Add extra serialization to non-serializing MSRs (IA32_TSC_DEADLINE
and x2 APIC MSRs) to adhere to SDM's recommendation and avoid any
theoretical issues.
- Re-add the EPB MSR reading on turbostat so that it works on older
kernels which don't have the corresponding EPB sysfs file.
- Add Alder Lake to the list of CPUs which support split lock.
- Fix %dr6 register handling in order to be able to set watchpoints
with gdb again.
- Disable CET instrumentation in the kernel so that gcc doesn't add
ENDBR64 to kernel code and thus confuse tracing"

Sedat Dilek noticed duplicated flags in DEBUG_CFLAGS when building
deb-pkg with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO. For example, 'make CC=clang bindeb-pkg'
reproduces the issue.
Kbuild recurses to the top Makefile for some targets such as package
builds.
With commit 121c5d08d53c ("kbuild: Only add -fno-var-tracking-assignments
for old GCC versions") applied, DEBUG_CFLAGS is now reset only when
CONFIG_CC_IS_GCC=y.
Fix it to reset DEBUG_CFLAGS all the time.

Python retired in 2020, and some distributions do not provide the
'python' command any more.
As in commit 51839e29cb59 ("scripts: switch explicitly to Python 3"),
we need to use more specific 'python3' to invoke scripts even if they
are written in a way compatible with both Python 2 and 3.
This commit removes the variable 'PYTHON', and switches the existing
users to 'PYTHON3'.
BTW, PEP 394 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/) is a helpful
material.

With retpolines disabled, some configurations of GCC, and specifically
the GCC versions 9 and 10 in Ubuntu will add Intel CET instrumentation
to the kernel by default. That breaks certain tracing scenarios by
adding a superfluous ENDBR64 instruction before the fentry call, for
functions which can be called indirectly.
CET instrumentation isn't currently necessary in the kernel, as CET is
only supported in user space. Disable it unconditionally and move it
into the x86's Makefile as CET/CFI... enablement should be a per-arch
decision anyway.
[ bp: Massage and extend commit message. ]

When CONFIG_NET is disabled, nothing under the net/ directory is
compiled. Move the CONFIG_NET guard to the top Makefile so the net/
directory is entirely skipped.
When Kbuild visits net/Makefile, CONFIG_NET is obvioulsy 'y' because
CONFIG_NET is a bool option. Clean up net/Makefile.

Pull Kbuild fixes from Masahiro Yamada:
- Move -Wcast-align to W=3, which tends to be false-positive and there
is no tree-wide solution.
- Pass -fmacro-prefix-map to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS because it is a
preprocessor option and makes sense for .S files as well.

Makefile.extrawarn: move -Wcast-align to W=3
|

Currently, '--orphan-handling=warn' is spread out across four different
architectures in their respective Makefiles, which makes it a little
unruly to deal with in case it needs to be disabled for a specific
linker version (in this case, ld.lld 10.0.1).
To make it easier to control this, hoist this warning into Kconfig and
the main Makefile so that disabling it is simpler, as the warning will
only be enabled in a couple places (main Makefile and a couple of
compressed boot folders that blow away LDFLAGS_vmlinx) and making it
conditional is easier due to Kconfig syntax. One small additional
benefit of this is saving a call to ld-option on incremental builds
because we will have already evaluated it for CONFIG_LD_ORPHAN_WARN.
To keep the list of supported architectures the same, introduce
CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_LD_ORPHAN_WARN, which an architecture can select to
gain this automatically after all of the sections are specified and size
asserted. A special thanks to Kees Cook for the help text on this
config.

The "size" tool has been solely used by s390 to enforce .bss section usage
restrictions in early startup code. Since commit 980d5f9ab36b ("s390/boot:
enable .bss section for compressed kernel") and commit 2e83e0eb85ca
("s390: clean .bss before running uncompressed kernel") these restrictions
have been lifted for the decompressor and uncompressed kernel and the
size tool is now unused.

Some old GCC versions between 4.5.0 and 4.9.1 might miscompile code
with -fvar-tracking-assingments (which is enabled by default with -g -O2).
Commit 2062afb4f804 ("Fix gcc-4.9.0 miscompilation of load_balance()
in scheduler") added -fno-var-tracking-assignments unconditionally to
work around this. But newer versions of GCC no longer have this bug, so
only add it for versions of GCC before 5.0. This allows various tools
such as a perf probe or gdb debuggers or systemtap to resolve variable
locations using dwarf locations in more code.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
- Add redirect_neigh() BPF packet redirect helper, allowing to limit
stack traversal in common container configs and improving TCP
back-pressure.
Daniel reports ~10Gbps => ~15Gbps single stream TCP performance gain.
- Expand netlink policy support and improve policy export to user
space. (Ge)netlink core performs request validation according to
declared policies. Expand the expressiveness of those policies
(min/max length and bitmasks). Allow dumping policies for particular
commands. This is used for feature discovery by user space (instead
of kernel version parsing or trial and error).
- Support IGMPv3/MLDv2 multicast listener discovery protocols in
bridge.
- Allow more than 255 IPv4 multicast interfaces.
- Add support for Type of Service (ToS) reflection in SYN/SYN-ACK
packets of TCPv6.
- In Multi-patch TCP (MPTCP) support concurrent transmission of data on
multiple subflows in a load balancing scenario. Enhance advertising
addresses via the RM_ADDR/ADD_ADDR options.
- Support SMC-Dv2 version of SMC, which enables multi-subnet
deployments.
- Allow more calls to same peer in RxRPC.
- Support two new Controller Area Network (CAN) protocols - CAN-FD and
ISO 15765-2:2016.
- Add xfrm/IPsec compat layer, solving the 32bit user space on 64bit
kernel problem.
- Add TC actions for implementing MPLS L2 VPNs.
- Improve nexthop code - e.g. handle various corner cases when nexthop
objects are removed from groups better, skip unnecessary
notifications and make it easier to offload nexthops into HW by
converting to a blocking notifier.
- Support adding and consuming TCP header options by BPF programs,
opening the doors for easy experimental and deployment-specific TCP
option use.
- Reorganize TCP congestion control (CC) initialization to simplify
life of TCP CC implemented in BPF.
- Add support for shipping BPF programs with the kernel and loading
them early on boot via the User Mode Driver mechanism, hence reusing
all the user space infra we have.
- Support sleepable BPF programs, initially targeting LSM and tracing.
- Add bpf_d_path() helper for returning full path for given 'struct
path'.
- Make bpf_tail_call compatible with bpf-to-bpf calls.
- Allow BPF programs to call map_update_elem on sockmaps.
- Add BPF Type Format (BTF) support for type and enum discovery, as
well as support for using BTF within the kernel itself (current use
is for pretty printing structures).
- Support listing and getting information about bpf_links via the bpf
syscall.
- Enhance kernel interfaces around NIC firmware update. Allow
specifying overwrite mask to control if settings etc. are reset
during update; report expected max time operation may take to users;
support firmware activation without machine reboot incl. limits of
how much impact reset may have (e.g. dropping link or not).
- Extend ethtool configuration interface to report IEEE-standard
counters, to limit the need for per-vendor logic in user space.
- Adopt or extend devlink use for debug, monitoring, fw update in many
drivers (dsa loop, ice, ionic, sja1105, qed, mlxsw, mv88e6xxx,
dpaa2-eth).
- In mlxsw expose critical and emergency SFP module temperature alarms.
Refactor port buffer handling to make the defaults more suitable and
support setting these values explicitly via the DCBNL interface.
- Add XDP support for Intel's igb driver.
- Support offloading TC flower classification and filtering rules to
mscc_ocelot switches.
- Add PTP support for Marvell Octeontx2 and PP2.2 hardware, as well as
fixed interval period pulse generator and one-step timestamping in
dpaa-eth.
- Add support for various auth offloads in WiFi APs, e.g. SAE (WPA3)
offload.
- Add Lynx PHY/PCS MDIO module, and convert various drivers which have
this HW to use it. Convert mvpp2 to split PCS.
- Support Marvell Prestera 98DX3255 24-port switch ASICs, as well as
7-port Mediatek MT7531 IP.
- Add initial support for QCA6390 and IPQ6018 in ath11k WiFi driver,
and wcn3680 support in wcn36xx.
- Improve performance for packets which don't require much offloads on
recent Mellanox NICs by 20% by making multiple packets share a
descriptor entry.
- Move chelsio inline crypto drivers (for TLS and IPsec) from the
crypto subtree to drivers/net. Move MDIO drivers out of the phy
directory.
- Clean up a lot of W=1 warnings, reportedly the actively developed
subsections of networking drivers should now build W=1 warning free.
- Make sure drivers don't use in_interrupt() to dynamically adapt their
code. Convert tasklets to use new tasklet_setup API (sadly this
conversion is not yet complete).

namespace.pl is intended to help locate symbols which are defined but
are not used externally. The goal is to avoid bloat of the namespace in
the resulting kernel image.
The script relies on object data, and only finds unused symbols for the
configuration used to generate that object data. This results in a lot
of false positive warnings such as symbols only used by a single
architecture, or symbols which are used externally only under certain
configurations.
Running namespace.pl using allyesconfig, allmodconfig, and
x86_64_defconfig yields the following results:
* allmodconfig
* 11122 unique symbol names with no external reference
* 1194 symbols listed as multiply defined
* 214 symbols it can't resolve
* allyesconfig
* 10997 unique symbol names with no external reference
* 1194 symbols listed as multiply defined
* 214 symbols it can't resolve
* x86_64_defconfig
* 5757 unique symbol names with no external reference
* 528 symbols listed as multiply defined
* 154 symbols it can't resolve
The script also has no way to easily limit the scope of the checks to
a given subset of the kernel, such as only checking for symbols defined
within a module or subsystem.
Discussion on public mailing lists seems to indicate that many view the
tool output as suspect or not very useful (see discussions at [1] and
[2] for further context).
As described by Masahiro Yamada at [2], namespace.pl provides 3 types of
checks: listing multiply defined symbols, resolving external symbols,
and warnings about symbols with no reference.
The first category of issues is easily caught by the linker as any set
of multiply defined symbols should fail to link. The second category of
issues is also caught by linking, as undefined symbols would cause
issues. Even with modules, these types of issues where a module relies
on an external symbol are caught by modpost.
The remaining category of issues reported is the list of symbols with no
external reference, and is the primary motivation of this script.
However, it ought to be clear from the above examples that the output is
difficult to sort through. Even allyesconfig has ~10000 entries.
The current submit-checklist indicates that patches ought to go through
namespacecheck and fix any new issues arising. But that itself presents
problems. As described at [1], many cases of reports are due to
configuration where a function is used externally by some configuration
settings. Prominent maintainers appear to dislike changes modify code
such that symbols become static based on CONFIG_* flags ([3], and [4])
One possible solution is to adjust the advice and indicate that we only
care about the output of namespacecheck on allyesconfig or allmodconfig
builds...
However, given the discussion at [2], I suspect that few people are
actively using this tool. It doesn't have a maintainer in the
MAINTAINERS flie, and it produces so many warnings for unused symbols
that it is difficult to use effectively. Thus, I propose we simply

ld's --build-id defaults to "sha1" style, while lld defaults to "fast".
The build IDs are very different between the two, which may confuse
programs that reference them.

Rejecting non-native endian BTF overlapped with the addition
of support for it.
The rest were more simple overlapping changes, except the
renesas ravb binding update, which had to follow a file
move as well as a YAML conversion.

The minimal compiler version, GCC 4.9 supports this flag.
Nathan Chancellor pointed out:
"This flag is technically ignored by clang (see commit
05b0798916f01690b5903302e51f3136274e291f) but that obviously
does not matter for the sake of this."

Move CFLAGS_KASAN*, CFLAGS_UBSAN, CFLAGS_KCSAN to Makefile.kasan,
Makefile.ubsan, Makefile.kcsan, respectively.
This commit also avoids the same -fsanitize=* flags being added to
CFLAGS_UBSAN multiple times.
Prior to this commit, the ubsan flags were appended by the '+='
operator, without any initialization. Some build targets such as
'make bindeb-pkg' recurses to the top Makefile, and ended up with
adding the same flags to CFLAGS_UBSAN twice.
Clear CFLAGS_UBSAN with ':=' to make it a simply expanded variable.
This is better than a recursively expanded variable, which evaluates
$(call cc-option, ...) multiple times before Kbuild starts descending
to subdirectories.

'make M=/path/to/your/external/module' creates a pointless built-in.a
in the top of the external module directory because KBUILD_BUILTIN is
set to 1.
Clear KBUILD_BUILTIN when we are building external modules so that
'make M=...' and 'make M=... modules' work equivalently.

There was a request to preprocess the module linker script like we
do for the vmlinux one. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/8/21/512)
The difference between vmlinux.lds and module.lds is that the latter
is needed for external module builds, thus must be cleaned up by
'make mrproper' instead of 'make clean'. Also, it must be created
by 'make modules_prepare'.
You cannot put it in arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/, which is cleaned up by
'make clean'. I moved arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/module.lds to
arch/$(SRCARCH)/include/asm/module.lds.h, which is included from
scripts/module.lds.S.
scripts/module.lds is fine because 'make clean' keeps all the
build artifacts under scripts/.
You can add arch-specific sections in <asm/module.lds.h>.
