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.

<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.

<title>x86/tdx: Detect TDX at early kernel decompression time</title>

<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.

<content type='text'>
GZIP-compressed files end with 4 byte data that represents the size
of the original input. The decompressors (the self-extracting kernel)
exploit it to know the vmlinux size beforehand. To mimic the GZIP's
trailer, Kbuild provides cmd_{bzip2,lzma,lzo,lz4,xzkern,zstd22}.
Unfortunately these macros are used everywhere despite the appended
size data is only useful for the decompressors.

There is no guarantee that such hand-crafted trailers are safely ignored.
In fact, the kernel refuses compressed initramdfs with the garbage data.
That is why usr/Makefile overrides size_append to make it no-op.

To limit the use of such broken compressed files, this commit renames
the existing macros as follows:

  cmd_bzip2   --&gt; cmd_bzip2_with_size
  cmd_lzma    --&gt; cmd_lzma_with_size
  cmd_lzo     --&gt; cmd_lzo_with_size
  cmd_lz4     --&gt; cmd_lz4_with_size
  cmd_xzkern  --&gt; cmd_xzkern_with_size
  cmd_zstd22  --&gt; cmd_zstd22_with_size

To keep the decompressors working, I updated the following Makefiles
accordingly:

  arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile
  arch/h8300/boot/compressed/Makefile
  arch/mips/boot/compressed/Makefile
  arch/parisc/boot/compressed/Makefile
  arch/s390/boot/compressed/Makefile
  arch/sh/boot/compressed/Makefile
  arch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile

I reused the current macro names for the normal usecases; they produce
the compressed data in the proper format.

I did not touch the following:

  arch/arc/boot/Makefile
  arch/arm64/boot/Makefile
  arch/csky/boot/Makefile
  arch/mips/boot/Makefile
  arch/riscv/boot/Makefile
  arch/sh/boot/Makefile
  kernel/Makefile

This means those Makefiles will stop appending the size data.

I dropped the 'override size_append' hack from usr/Makefile.

<title>x86/boot/compressed: Move CLANG_FLAGS to beginning of KBUILD_CFLAGS</title>

<content type='text'>
When cross compiling i386_defconfig on an arm64 host with clang, there
are a few instances of '-Waddress-of-packed-member' and
'-Wgnu-variable-sized-type-not-at-end' in arch/x86/boot/compressed/,
which should both be disabled with the cc-disable-warning calls in that
directory's Makefile, which indicates that cc-disable-warning is failing
at the point of testing these flags.

The cc-disable-warning calls fail because at the point that the flags
are tested, KBUILD_CFLAGS has '-march=i386' without $(CLANG_FLAGS),
which has the '--target=' flag to tell clang what architecture it is
targeting. Without the '--target=' flag, the host architecture (arm64)
is used and i386 is not a valid value for '-march=' in that case. This
error can be seen by adding some logging to try-run:

  clang-14: error: the clang compiler does not support '-march=i386'

Invoking the compiler has to succeed prior to calling cc-option or
cc-disable-warning in order to accurately test whether or not the flag
is supported; if it doesn't, the requested flag can never be added to
the compiler flags. Move $(CLANG_FLAGS) to the beginning of KBUILD_FLAGS
so that any new flags that might be added in the future can be
accurately tested.

<content type='text'>
A discussion around -Wundef showed that there were still a few boolean
Kconfigs where #if was used rather than #ifdef to guard different code.
Kconfig doesn't define boolean configs, which can result in -Wundef
warnings.

arch/x86/boot/compressed/Makefile resets the CFLAGS used for this
directory, and doesn't re-enable -Wundef as the top level Makefile does.
If re-added, with RANDOMIZE_BASE and X86_NEED_RELOCS disabled, the
following warnings are visible.

  arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.h:82:5: warning: 'CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE'
  is not defined, evaluates to 0 [-Wundef]
      ^
  arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.c:175:5: warning: 'CONFIG_X86_NEED_RELOCS'
  is not defined, evaluates to 0 [-Wundef]
      ^

Simply fix these and re-enable this warning for this directory.
