Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - Avoid 'constexpr', which is a keyword in C23

 - Allow 'dtbs_check' and 'dt_compatible_check' run independently of
   'dt_binding_check'

 - Fix weak references to avoid GOT entries in position-independent code
   generation

 - Convert the last use of 'optional' property in arch/sh/Kconfig

 - Remove support for the 'optional' property in Kconfig

 - Remove support for Clang's ThinLTO caching, which does not work with
   the .incbin directive

 - Change the semantics of $(src) so it always points to the source
   directory, which fixes Makefile inconsistencies between upstream and
   downstream

 - Fix 'make tar-pkg' for RISC-V to produce a consistent package

 - Provide reasonable default coverage for objtool, sanitizers, and
   profilers

 - Remove redundant OBJECT_FILES_NON_STANDARD, KASAN_SANITIZE, etc.

 - Remove the last use of tristate choice in drivers/rapidio/Kconfig

 - Various cleanups and fixes in Kconfig

Now Kbuild provides reasonable defaults for objtool, sanitizers, and
profilers.

Remove redundant variables.

Note:

This commit changes the coverage for some objects:

  - include arch/mips/vdso/vdso-image.o into UBSAN, GCOV, KCOV
  - include arch/sparc/vdso/vdso-image-*.o into UBSAN
  - include arch/sparc/vdso/vma.o into UBSAN
  - include arch/x86/entry/vdso/extable.o into KASAN, KCSAN, UBSAN, GCOV, KCOV
  - include arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso-image-*.o into KASAN, KCSAN, UBSAN, GCOV, KCOV
  - include arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32-setup.o into KASAN, KCSAN, UBSAN, GCOV, KCOV
  - include arch/x86/entry/vdso/vma.o into GCOV, KCOV
  - include arch/x86/um/vdso/vma.o into KASAN, GCOV, KCOV

I believe these are positive effects because all of them are kernel
space objects.

<title>lkdtm: Disable CFI checking for perms functions</title>

<content type='text'>
The EXEC_RODATA test plays a lot of tricks to live in the .rodata section,
and once again ran into objtool's (completely reasonable) assumptions
that executable code should live in an executable section. However, this
manifested only under CONFIG_CFI_CLANG=y, as one of the .cfi_sites was
pointing into the .rodata section.

Since we're testing non-CFI execution properties in perms.c (and
rodata.c), we can disable CFI for the involved functions, and remove the
CFI arguments from rodata.c entirely.

<title>lkdtm: Disable return thunks in rodata.c</title>

The following warning was seen:

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at arch/x86/kernel/alternative.c:557 apply_returns (arch/x86/kernel/alternative.c:557 (discriminator 1))
  Modules linked in:

The warning happened when apply_returns() failed to convert "JMP
__x86_return_thunk" to RET.  It was instead a JMP to nowhere, due to the
thunk relocation not getting resolved.

That rodata.o code is objcopy'd to .rodata, and later memcpy'd, so
relocations don't work (and are apparently silently ignored).

LKDTM is only used for testing, so the naked RET should be fine.  So
just disable return thunks for that file.

While at it, disable objtool and KCSAN for the file.

<content type='text'>
On a kernel without CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX, running EXEC_RODATA
test leads to "Illegal instruction" failure.

Looking at the content of rodata_objcopy.o, we see that the
function content zeroes only:

	Disassembly of section .rodata:

	0000000000000000 &lt;.lkdtm_rodata_do_nothing&gt;:
	   0:	00 00 00 00 	.long 0x0

Add the contents flag in order to keep the content of the section
while renaming it.

	Disassembly of section .rodata:

	0000000000000000 &lt;.lkdtm_rodata_do_nothing&gt;:
	   0:	4e 80 00 20 	blr

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - Switch to the generic C VDSO, as well as some cleanups of our VDSO
   setup/handling code.

 - Support for KUAP (Kernel User Access Prevention) on systems using the
   hashed page table MMU, using memory protection keys.

 - Better handling of PowerVM SMT8 systems where all threads of a core
   do not share an L2, allowing the scheduler to make better scheduling
   decisions.

 - Further improvements to our machine check handling.

 - Show registers when unwinding interrupt frames during stack traces.

 - Improvements to our pseries (PowerVM) partition migration code.

 - Several series from Christophe refactoring and cleaning up various
   parts of the 32-bit code.

 - Other smaller features, fixes &amp; cleanups.

<content type='text'>
This new test ensures that fortified strscpy has the same behavior than
vanilla strscpy (e.g.  returning -E2BIG when src content is truncated).
Finally, it generates a crash at runtime because there is a write overflow
in destination string.
