Pull kernel hardening updates from Kees Cook:

 - Convert flexible array members, fix -Wstringop-overflow warnings, and
   fix KCFI function type mismatches that went ignored by maintainers
   (Gustavo A. R. Silva, Nathan Chancellor, Kees Cook)

 - Remove the remaining side-effect users of ksize() by converting
   dma-buf, btrfs, and coredump to using kmalloc_size_roundup(), add
   more __alloc_size attributes, and introduce full testing of all
   allocator functions. Finally remove the ksize() side-effect so that
   each allocation-aware checker can finally behave without exceptions

 - Introduce oops_limit (default 10,000) and warn_limit (default off) to
   provide greater granularity of control for panic_on_oops and
   panic_on_warn (Jann Horn, Kees Cook)

 - Introduce overflows_type() and castable_to_type() helpers for cleaner
   overflow checking

 - Improve code generation for strscpy() and update str*() kern-doc

 - Convert strscpy and sigphash tests to KUnit, and expand memcpy tests

 - Always use a non-NULL argument for prepare_kernel_cred()

 - Disable structleak plugin in FORTIFY KUnit test (Anders Roxell)

 - Adjust orphan linker section checking to respect CONFIG_WERROR (Xin
   Li)

 - Make sure siginfo is cleared for forced SIGKILL (haifeng.xu)

 - Fix um vs FORTIFY warnings for always-NULL arguments

Andrew Cooper suggested upgrading the orphan section warning to a hard link
error. However Nathan Chancellor said outright turning the warning into an
error with no escape hatch might be too aggressive, as we have had these
warnings triggered by new compiler generated sections, and suggested turning
orphan sections into an error only if CONFIG_WERROR is set. Kees Cook echoed
and emphasized that the mandate from Linus is that we should avoid breaking
builds. It wrecks bisection, it causes problems across compiler versions, etc.

Thus upgrade the orphan section warning to a hard link error only if
CONFIG_WERROR is set.

Instrumenting some files with KMSAN will result in kernel being unable to
link, boot or crashing at runtime for various reasons (e.g.  infinite
recursion caused by instrumentation hooks calling instrumented code
again).

Completely omit KMSAN instrumentation in the following places:
 - arch/x86/boot and arch/x86/realmode/rm, as KMSAN doesn't work for i386;
 - arch/x86/entry/vdso, which isn't linked with KMSAN runtime;
 - three files in arch/x86/kernel - boot problems;
 - arch/x86/mm/cpu_entry_area.c - recursion.

<title>x86: link vdso and boot with -z noexecstack --no-warn-rwx-segments</title>

<content type='text'>
Users of GNU ld (BFD) from binutils 2.39+ will observe multiple
instances of a new warning when linking kernels in the form:

  ld: warning: arch/x86/boot/pmjump.o: missing .note.GNU-stack section implies executable stack
  ld: NOTE: This behaviour is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of the linker
  ld: warning: arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux has a LOAD segment with RWX permissions

Generally, we would like to avoid the stack being executable.  Because
there could be a need for the stack to be executable, assembler sources
have to opt-in to this security feature via explicit creation of the
.note.GNU-stack feature (which compilers create by default) or command
line flag --noexecstack.  Or we can simply tell the linker the
production of such sections is irrelevant and to link the stack as
--noexecstack.

LLVM's LLD linker defaults to -z noexecstack, so this flag isn't
strictly necessary when linking with LLD, only BFD, but it doesn't hurt
to be explicit here for all linkers IMO.  --no-warn-rwx-segments is
currently BFD specific and only available in the current latest release,
so it's wrapped in an ld-option check.

While the kernel makes extensive usage of ELF sections, it doesn't use
permissions from ELF segments.

Pull Intel TDX support from Borislav Petkov:
 "Intel Trust Domain Extensions (TDX) support.

  This is the Intel version of a confidential computing solution called
  Trust Domain Extensions (TDX). This series adds support to run the
  kernel as part of a TDX guest. It provides similar guest protections
  to AMD's SEV-SNP like guest memory and register state encryption,
  memory integrity protection and a lot more.

  Design-wise, it differs from AMD's solution considerably: it uses a
  software module which runs in a special CPU mode called (Secure
  Arbitration Mode) SEAM. As the name suggests, this module serves as
  sort of an arbiter which the confidential guest calls for services it
  needs during its lifetime.

  Just like AMD's SNP set, this series reworks and streamlines certain
  parts of x86 arch code so that this feature can be properly
  accomodated"

Port I/O instructions trigger #VE in the TDX environment. In response to
the exception, kernel emulates these instructions using hypercalls.

But during early boot, on the decompression stage, it is cumbersome to
deal with #VE. It is cleaner to go to hypercalls directly, bypassing #VE
handling.

Hook up TDX-specific port I/O helpers if booting in TDX environment.

<id>urn:sha1:4b05f81504bfcaab51083d3a271fada75e6b8904</id>
<content type='text'>
The early decompression code does port I/O for its console output. But,
handling the decompression-time port I/O demands a different approach
from normal runtime because the IDT required to support #VE based port
I/O emulation is not yet set up. Paravirtualizing I/O calls during
the decompression step is acceptable because the decompression code
doesn't have a lot of call sites to IO instruction.

To support port I/O in decompression code, TDX must be detected before
the decompression code might do port I/O. Detect whether the kernel runs
in a TDX guest.

Add an early_is_tdx_guest() interface to query the cached TDX guest
status in the decompression code.

TDX is detected with CPUID. Make cpuid_count() accessible outside
boot/cpuflags.c.

TDX detection in the main kernel is very similar. Move common bits
into &lt;asm/shared/tdx.h&gt;.

The actual port I/O paravirtualization will come later in the series.

Future patches for SEV-SNP-validated CPUID will also require early
parsing of the EFI configuration. Incrementally move the related code
into a set of helpers that can be re-used for that purpose.

First, carve out the functionality which determines the EFI environment
type the machine is booting on.
