Unfortunately, there is a corner case of __builtin_counted_by_ref()
usage that crashes[1] Clang since support was introduced in Clang 19.
Disable it prior to Clang 22. Found while tested kmalloc_obj treewide
refactoring (via kmalloc_flex() usage).

Pull VDSO updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Provide the missing 64-bit variant of clock_getres()
This allows the extension of CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME to the vDSO and
finally the removal of 32-bit time types from the kernel and UAPI.
- Remove the useless and broken getcpu_cache from the VDSO
The intention was to provide a trivial way to retrieve the CPU number
from the VDSO, but as the VDSO data is per process there is no way to
make it work.
- Switch get/put_unaligned() from packed struct to memcpy()
The packed struct violates strict aliasing rules which requires to
pass -fno-strict-aliasing to the compiler. As this are scalar values
__builtin_memcpy() turns them into simple loads and stores
- Use __typeof_unqual__() for __unqual_scalar_typeof()
The get/put_unaligned() changes triggered a new sparse warning when
__beNN types are used with get/put_unaligned() as sparse builds add a
special 'bitwise' attribute to them which prevents sparse to evaluate
the Generic in __unqual_scalar_typeof().
Newer sparse versions support __typeof_unqual__() which avoids the
problem, but requires a recent sparse install. So this adds a sanity
check to sparse builds, which validates that sparse is available and
capable of handling it.
- Force inline __cvdso_clock_getres_common()
Compilers sometimes un-inline agressively, which results in function
call overhead and problems with automatic stack variable
initialization.
Interestingly enough the force inlining results in smaller code than
the un-inlined variant produced by GCC when optimizing for size.

- Further consolidate configurable preemption modes (Peter Zijlstra)
Reduce the number of architectures that are allowed to offer
PREEMPT_NONE and PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, reducing the number of

None and voluntary are only available as legacy features on
platforms that don't implement lazy preemption yet, or which don't
even support preemption.

preemption altogether.

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Lock debugging:
- Implement compiler-driven static analysis locking context checking,
using the upcoming Clang 22 compiler's context analysis features
(Marco Elver)
We removed Sparse context analysis support, because prior to
removal even a defconfig kernel produced 1,700+ context tracking
Sparse warnings, the overwhelming majority of which are false
positives. On an allmodconfig kernel the number of false positive
context tracking Sparse warnings grows to over 5,200... On the plus
side of the balance actual locking bugs found by Sparse context
analysis is also rather ... sparse: I found only 3 such commits in
the last 3 years. So the rate of false positives and the
maintenance overhead is rather high and there appears to be no
active policy in place to achieve a zero-warnings baseline to move
the annotations & fixers to developers who introduce new code.
Clang context analysis is more complete and more aggressive in
trying to find bugs, at least in principle. Plus it has a different
model to enabling it: it's enabled subsystem by subsystem, which
results in zero warnings on all relevant kernel builds (as far as
our testing managed to cover it). Which allowed us to enable it by
default, similar to other compiler warnings, with the expectation
that there are no warnings going forward. This enforces a
zero-warnings baseline on clang-22+ builds (Which are still limited
in distribution, admittedly)
Hopefully the Clang approach can lead to a more maintainable
zero-warnings status quo and policy, with more and more subsystems
and drivers enabling the feature. Context tracking can be enabled
for all kernel code via WARN_CONTEXT_ANALYSIS_ALL=y (default
disabled), but this will generate a lot of false positives.
( Having said that, Sparse support could still be added back,
if anyone is interested - the removal patch is still
relatively straightforward to revert at this stage. )

Pull kmalloc_obj updates from Kees Cook:
"Introduce the kmalloc_obj* family of APIs for switching to type-based
kmalloc allocations, away from purely size-based allocations.
Discussed on lkml, with you, and at Linux Plumbers. It's been in -next
for the entire dev cycle.
Before the merge window closes, I'd like to send the treewide
change (generated from the Coccinelle script included here), which
mechanically converts almost 20k callsites from kmalloc* to
kmalloc_obj*:
8007 files changed, 19980 insertions(+), 20838 deletions(-)
This change needed fixes for mismatched types (since now the return
type from allocations is a pointer to the requested type, not "void
*"), and I've been fixing these over the last 4 releases.
These fixes have mostly been trivial mismatches with const qualifiers
or accidentally identical sizes (e.g. same object size: "struct kvec"
vs "struct iovec", or differing pointers to pointers), but I did catch
one case of too-small allocation.
Summary:
- Introduce kmalloc_obj*() family of type-based allocator APIs
- checkpatch: Suggest kmalloc_obj family for sizeof allocations

Enabling KCSAN is causing a large number of duplicate types in BTF for
core kernel structs like task_struct [1]. This is due to the definition
in include/linux/compiler_types.h
`#ifdef __SANITIZE_THREAD__
...
`#define __data_racy volatile
..
`#else
...
`#define __data_racy
...
`#endif
Because some objects in the kernel are compiled without KCSAN flags
(KCSAN_SANITIZE) we sometimes get the empty __data_racy annotation for
objects; as a result we get multiple conflicting representations of the
associated structs in DWARF, and these lead to multiple instances of core
kernel types in BTF since they cannot be deduplicated due to the
additional modifier in some instances.
Moving the __data_racy definition under CONFIG_KCSAN avoids this problem,
since the volatile modifier will be present for both KCSAN and
KCSAN_SANITIZE objects in a CONFIG_KCSAN=y kernel.

The recent changes to get_unaligned() resulted in a new sparse warning:
net/rds/ib_cm.c:96:35: sparse: sparse: incorrect type in argument 1 (different modifiers) @@ expected void * @@ got restricted __be64 const * @@
net/rds/ib_cm.c:96:35: sparse: expected void *
net/rds/ib_cm.c:96:35: sparse: got restricted __be64 const *
The updated get_unaligned_t() uses __unqual_scalar_typeof() to get an
unqualified type. This works correctly for the compilers, but fails for
sparse when the data type is __be64 (or any other __beNN variant).
On sparse runs (C=[12]) __beNN types are annotated with
__attribute__((bitwise)).
That annotation allows sparse to detect incompatible operations on __beNN
variables, but it also prevents sparse from evaluating the _Generic() in
__unqual_scalar_typeof() and map __beNN to a unqualified scalar type, so it
ends up with the default, i.e. the original qualified type of a 'const
__beNN' pointer. That then ends up as the first pointer argument to
builtin_memcpy(), which obviously causes the above sparse warnings.
The sparse git tree supports typeof_unqual() now, which allows to use it
instead of the _Generic() based __unqual_scalar_typeof(). With that sparse
correctly evaluates the unqualified type and keeps the __beNN logic intact.
The downside is that this requires a top of tree sparse build and an old
sparse version will emit a metric ton of incomprehensible error messages
before it dies with a segfault.
Therefore implement a sanity check which validates that the checker is
available and capable of handling typeof_unqual(). Emit a warning if not so
the user can take informed action.

Introduce __counted_by_ptr(), which works like __counted_by(), but for
pointer struct members.
struct foo {
int a, b, c;
char *buffer __counted_by_ptr(bytes);
short nr_bars;
struct bar *bars __counted_by_ptr(nr_bars);
size_t bytes;
};
Because "counted_by" can only be applied to pointer members in very
recent compiler versions, its application ends up needing to be distinct
from flexibe array "counted_by" annotations, hence a separate macro.
This is a reworking of Kees' previous patch [1].

Introduce __flex_counter() which wraps __builtin_counted_by_ref(),
as newly introduced by GCC[1] and Clang[2]. Use of __flex_counter()
allows access to the counter member of a struct's flexible array member
when it has been annotated with __counted_by().
Introduce typeof_flex_counter(), overflows_flex_counter_type(), and
__set_flex_counter() to provide the needed _Generic() wrappers to get
sane results out of __flex_counter().
For example, with:
struct foo {
int counter;
short array[] __counted_by(counter);
} *p;
__flex_counter(p->array) will resolve to: &p->counter
typeof_flex_counter(p->array) will resolve to "int". (If p->array was not
annotated, it would resolve to "size_t".)
overflows_flex_counter_type(typeof(*p), array, COUNT) is the same as:
COUNT <= type_max(p->counter) && COUNT >= type_min(p->counter)
(If p->array was not annotated it would return true since everything
fits in size_t.)
__set_flex_counter(p->array, COUNT) is the same as:
p->counter = COUNT;
(It is a no-op if p->array is not annotated with __counted_by().)

The conditional definition of lock checking macros and attributes is
about to become more complex. Factor them out into their own header for
better readability, and to make it obvious which features are supported
by which mode (currently only Sparse). This is the first step towards

compiler_types.h: add "auto" as a macro for "__auto_type"
|
|
"auto" was defined as a keyword back in the K&R days, but as a storage
type specifier. No one ever used it, since it was and is the default
storage type for local variables.
C++11 recycled the keyword to allow a type to be declared based on the
type of an initializer. This was finally adopted into standard C in
C23.
gcc and clang provide the "__auto_type" alias keyword as an extension
for pre-C23, however, there is no reason to pollute the bulk of the
source base with this temporary keyword; instead define "auto" as a
macro unless the compiler is running in C23+ mode.
This macro is added in <linux/compiler_types.h> because that header is
included in some of the tools headers, wheres <linux/compiler.h> is
not as it has a bunch of very kernel-specific things in it.

Pull 'at_least' array size update from Eric Biggers:
"C supports lower bounds on the sizes of array parameters, using the
static keyword as follows: 'void f(int a[static 32]);'. This allows
the compiler to warn about a too-small array being passed.

Clang and recent gcc support warning if they are able to prove that the
user is passing to a function an array that is too short in size. For
example:
void blah(unsigned char herp[at_least 7]);
static void schma(void)
{
unsigned char good[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 };
unsigned char bad[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 };
blah(good);
blah(bad);
}
The notation here, `static 7`, which this commit makes explicit by
allowing us to write it as `at_least 7`, means that it's incorrect to
pass anything less than 7 elements. This is section 6.7.5.3 of C99:
If the keyword static also appears within the [ and ] of the array
type derivation, then for each call to the function, the value of
the corresponding actual argument shall provide access to the first
element of an array with at least as many elements as specified by
the size expression.
Here is the output from gcc 15:
zx2c4@thinkpad /tmp $ gcc -c a.c
a.c: In function ‘schma’:
a.c:9:9: warning: ‘blah’ accessing 7 bytes in a region of size 6 [-Wstringop-overflow=]
9 | blah(bad);
| ^~~~~~~~~
a.c:9:9: note: referencing argument 1 of type ‘unsigned char[7]’
a.c:2:6: note: in a call to function ‘blah’
2 | void blah(unsigned char herp[at_least 7]);
| ^~~~
And from clang 21:
zx2c4@thinkpad /tmp $ clang -c a.c
a.c:9:2: warning: array argument is too small; contains 6 elements, callee requires at least 7
[-Warray-bounds]
9 | blah(bad);
| ^ ~~~
a.c:2:25: note: callee declares array parameter as static here
2 | void blah(unsigned char herp[at_least 7]);
| ^ ~~~~~~~~~~
1 warning generated.
So these are covered by, variously, -Wstringop-overflow and
-Warray-bounds.

STATIC_CALL_TRAMP_STR() could not be used from .S files because
static_call_types.h was not safe to include in assembly as it pulled in C
types/constructs that are unavailable under __ASSEMBLY__.
Make the header assembly-friendly by adding __ASSEMBLY__ checks and
providing only the minimal definitions needed for assembly, so that it
can be safely included by .S code. This enables emitting the static call
trampoline symbol name via STATIC_CALL_TRAMP_STR() directly in assembly
sources, to be used with 'call' instruction. Also, move a certain
definitions out of __ASSEMBLY__ checks in compiler_types.h to meet
the dependencies.
No functional change for C compilation.

There are two different ways that LLVM can expand kCFI operand bundles
in LLVM IR: generically in the middle end or using an architecture
specific sequence when lowering LLVM IR to machine code in the backend.
The generic pass allows any architecture to take advantage of kCFI but
the expansion of these bundles in the middle end can mess with
optimizations that may turn indirect calls into direct calls when the
call target is known at compile time, such as after inlining.
Add __nocfi_generic, dependent on an architecture selecting
CONFIG_ARCH_USES_CFI_GENERIC_LLVM_PASS, to disable kCFI bundle
generation in functions where only the generic kCFI pass may cause
problems.

Make the statement attribute "assume" with a new __assume macro available.
The assume attribute is used to indicate that a certain condition is
assumed to be true. Compilers may or may not use this indication to
generate optimized code. If this condition is violated at runtime, the
behavior is undefined.
Note that the clang documentation states that optimizers may react
differently to this attribute, and this may even have a negative
performance impact. Therefore this attribute should be used with care.

In order to support Clang's stack depth tracking (for Linux's kstack_erase
feature), the coverage sanitizer needed to be disabled for __init (and
__head) section code. Doing this universally (i.e. for GCC too) created
a number of unexpected problems, ranging from changes to inlining logic
to failures to DCE code on earlier GCC versions.
Since this change is only needed for Clang, specialize it so that GCC
doesn't see the change as it isn't needed there (the GCC implementation
of kstack_erase uses a GCC plugin that removes stack depth tracking
instrumentation from __init sections during a late pass in the IR).
Successfully build and boot tested with GCC 12 and Clang 22.

preparation for implementing lazy mmu mode for arm64 to optimize
vmalloc.
- The series "mm/page_alloc: Some clarifications for migratetype
fallback" from Brendan Jackman reworks some commentary to make the
code easier to follow.

The patch introduces __percpu_qual define and repurposes __percpu tag as a
named address space qualifier using the new define.
Arches can now conditionally define __percpu_qual as their named address
space qualifier for percpu variables.

GCC has expanded support of the "nonstring" attribute so that it can be
applied to arrays of character arrays[1], which is needed to identify
correct static initialization of those kinds of objects. Since this was
not supported prior to GCC 15, we need to distinguish the usage of Linux's
existing __nonstring macro for the attribute for non-multi-dimensional
char arrays. Until GCC 15 is the minimum version, use __nonstring_array to
mark arrays of non-string character arrays. (Regular non-string character
arrays can continue to use __nonstring.) Once GCC 15 is the minimum
compiler version we can replace all uses of __nonstring_array with just
__nonstring and remove this macro.
This allows for changes like this:
-static const char table_sigs[][ACPI_NAMESEG_SIZE] __initconst = {
+static const char table_sigs[][ACPI_NAMESEG_SIZE] __nonstring_array __initconst = {
ACPI_SIG_BERT, ACPI_SIG_BGRT, ACPI_SIG_CPEP, ACPI_SIG_ECDT,
Which will silence the coming -Wunterminated-string-initialization
warnings in GCC 15:

Since we're going to approach integer overflow mitigation a type at a
time, we need to enable all of the associated sanitizers, and then opt
into types one at a time.
Rename the existing "signed wrap" sanitizer to just the entire topic area:
"integer wrap". Enable the implicit integer truncation sanitizers, with
required callbacks and tests.
Notably, this requires features (currently) only available in Clang,
so we can depend on the cc-option tests to determine availability
instead of doing version tests.

In preparation for adding more type checking to the memtostr/strtomem*()
helpers, introduce the ability to check for the "nonstring" attribute.
This is the reverse of what was added to strscpy*() in commit 559048d156ff
("string: Check for "nonstring" attribute on strscpy() arguments").
Note that __annotated() must be explicitly tested for, as GCC added
__builtin_has_attribute() after it added the "nonstring" attribute. Do
so here to avoid the !__annotated() test triggering build failures
when __builtin_has_attribute() was missing but __nonstring was defined.
(I've opted to squash this fix into this patch so we don't end up with
a possible bisection target that would leave the kernel unbuildable.)

Kernel functions that are not inlined can be easily hooked with BPF for
tracing. However, functions intended for tracing may still be inlined
unexpectedly. For example, in our case, after upgrading the compiler from
GCC 9 to GCC 11, the tcp_drop_reason() function was inlined, which broke
our monitoring tools. To prevent this, we need to ensure that the function
remains non-inlined.
The noinline_for_tracing annotation is introduced as a general solution for
preventing inlining of kernel functions that need to be traced. This
approach avoids the need for adding individual noinline comments to each
function and provides a more consistent way to maintain traceability.

GCC already checks for arguments that are marked with the "nonstring"[1]
attribute when used on standard C String API functions (e.g. strcpy). Gain
this compile-time checking also for the kernel's primary string copying
function, strscpy().
Note that Clang has neither "nonstring" nor __builtin_has_attribute().

Some code includes the __used macro to prevent functions and data from
being optimized out. This macro implements __attribute__((__used__)),
which operates at the compiler and IR-level, and so still allows a linker
to remove objects intended to be kept.
Compilers supporting __attribute__((__retain__)) can address this gap by
setting the flag SHF_GNU_RETAIN on the section of a function/variable,
indicating to the linker the object should be retained. This attribute is
available since gcc 11, clang 13, and binutils 2.36.
Provide a __retain macro implementing __attribute__((__retain__)), whose
first user will be the '__bpf_kfunc' tag.
[ Additional remark from discussion:
Why is CONFIG_LTO_CLANG added here? The __used macro permits garbage
collection at section level, so CLANG_LTO_CLANG without
CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION should not change final section
dynamics?
The conditional guard was included to ensure consistent behaviour
between __retain and other features forcing split sections. In
particular, the same guard is used in vmlinux.lds.h to merge split
sections where needed. For example, using __retain in LLVM builds
without CONFIG_LTO was failing CI tests on kernel-patches/bpf because
the kernel didn't boot properly. And in further testing, the kernel
had no issues loading BPF kfunc modules with such split sections, so
the module (partial) linking scripts were left alone. ]

Merge trivial x86 code generation annoyances
- Introduce helper macros for clang asm input problems
- use said macros to improve trivially stupid code generation issues in
bitops and array_index_mask_nospec
- also improve codegen with 32-bit array index comparisons
None of these really matter, but I look at code generation and profiles
fairly regularly, and these misfeatures caused the generated code to
look really odd and distract from the real issues.

x86: improve bitop code generation with clang
x86: improve array_index_mask_nospec() code generation
clang: work around asm input constraint problems
|
|
Work around clang problems with asm constraints that have multiple
possibilities, particularly "g" and "rm".
Clang seems to turn inputs like that into the most generic form, which
is the memory input - but to make matters worse, clang won't even use a
possible original memory location, but will spill the value to stack,
and use the stack for the asm input.
See
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/20571#issuecomment-980933442
for some explanation of why clang has this strange behavior, but the end
result is that "g" and "rm" really end up generating horrid code.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
"Core & protocols:
- Complete rework of garbage collection of AF_UNIX sockets.
AF_UNIX is prone to forming reference count cycles due to fd
passing functionality. New method based on Tarjan's Strongly
Connected Components algorithm should be both faster and remove a
lot of workarounds we accumulated over the years.
- Add TCP fraglist GRO support, allowing chaining multiple TCP
packets and forwarding them together. Useful for small switches /
routers which lack basic checksum offload in some scenarios (e.g.
PPPoE).
- Support using SMP threads for handling packet backlog i.e. packet
processing from software interfaces and old drivers which don't use
NAPI. This helps move the processing out of the softirq jumble.
- Continue work of converting from rtnl lock to RCU protection.
Don't require rtnl lock when reading: IPv6 routing FIB, IPv6
address labels, netdev threaded NAPI sysfs files, bonding driver's
sysfs files, MPLS devconf, IPv4 FIB rules, netns IDs, tcp metrics,
TC Qdiscs, neighbor entries, ARP entries via ioctl(SIOCGARP), a lot
of the link information available via rtnetlink.
- Small optimizations from Eric to UDP wake up handling, memory
accounting, RPS/RFS implementation, TCP packet sizing etc.
- Allow direct page recycling in the bulk API used by XDP, for +2%
PPS.
- Support peek with an offset on TCP sockets.
- Add MPTCP APIs for querying last time packets were received/sent/acked
and whether MPTCP "upgrade" succeeded on a TCP socket.
- Add intra-node communication shortcut to improve SMC performance.
- Add IPv6 (and IPv{4,6}-over-IPv{4,6}) support to the GTP protocol
driver.
- Add HSR-SAN (RedBOX) mode of operation to the HSR protocol driver.
- Add reset reasons for tracing what caused a TCP reset to be sent.
- Introduce direction attribute for xfrm (IPSec) states. State can be
used either for input or output packet processing.
Things we sprinkled into general kernel code:
- Add bitmap_{read,write}(), bitmap_size(), expose BYTES_TO_BITS().
This required touch-ups and renaming of a few existing users.
- Add Endian-dependent __counted_by_{le,be} annotations.
- Make building selftests "quieter" by printing summaries like
"CC object.o" rather than full commands with all the arguments.
Netfilter:
- Use GFP_KERNEL to clone elements, to deal better with OOM
situations and avoid failures in the .commit step.
BPF:
- Add eBPF JIT for ARCv2 CPUs.
- Support attaching kprobe BPF programs through kprobe_multi link in
a session mode, meaning, a BPF program is attached to both function
entry and return, the entry program can decide if the return
program gets executed and the entry program can share u64 cookie
value with return program. "Session mode" is a common use-case for
tetragon and bpftrace.
- Add the ability to specify and retrieve BPF cookie for raw
tracepoint programs in order to ease migration from classic to raw
tracepoints.
- Add an internal-only BPF per-CPU instruction for resolving per-CPU
memory addresses and implement support in x86, ARM64 and RISC-V
JITs. This allows inlining functions which need to access per-CPU
state.
- Optimize x86 BPF JIT's emit_mov_imm64, and add support for various
atomics in bpf_arena which can be JITed as a single x86
instruction. Support BPF arena on ARM64.
- Add a new bpf_wq API for deferring events and refactor
process-context bpf_timer code to keep common code where possible.
- Harden the BPF verifier's and/or/xor value tracking.
- Introduce crypto kfuncs to let BPF programs call kernel crypto
APIs.
- Support bpf_tail_call_static() helper for BPF programs with GCC 13.
- Add bpf_preempt_{disable,enable}() kfuncs in order to allow a BPF
program to have code sections where preemption is disabled.
Driver API:
- Skip software TC processing completely if all installed rules are
marked as HW-only, instead of checking the HW-only flag rule by
rule.
- Add support for configuring PoE (Power over Ethernet), similar to
the already existing support for PoDL (Power over Data Line)
config.
- Initial bits of a queue control API, for now allowing a single
queue to be reset without disturbing packet flow to other queues.
- Common (ethtool) statistics for hardware timestamping.
Tests and tooling:
- Remove the need to create a config file to run the net forwarding
tests so that a naive "make run_tests" can exercise them.
- Define a method of writing tests which require an external endpoint
to communicate with (to send/receive data towards the test
machine). Add a few such tests.
- Create a shared code library for writing Python tests. Expose the
YAML Netlink library from tools/ to the tests for easy Netlink
access.
- Move netfilter tests under net/, extend them, separate performance
tests from correctness tests, and iron out issues found by running
them "on every commit".
- Refactor BPF selftests to use common network helpers.
- Further work filling in YAML definitions of Netlink messages for:
nftables, team driver, bonding interfaces, vlan interfaces, VF
info, TC u32 mark, TC police action.
- Teach Python YAML Netlink to decode attribute policies.
- Extend the definition of the "indexed array" construct in the specs
to cover arrays of scalars rather than just nests.
- Add hyperlinks between definitions in generated Netlink docs.
Drivers:
- Make sure unsupported flower control flags are rejected by drivers,
and make more drivers report errors directly to the application
rather than dmesg (large number of driver changes from Asbjørn
Sloth Tønnesen).
- Ethernet high-speed NICs:
- Broadcom (bnxt):
- support multiple RSS contexts and steering traffic to them
- support XDP metadata
- make page pool allocations more NUMA aware
- Intel (100G, ice, idpf):
- extract datapath code common among Intel drivers into a library
- use fewer resources in switchdev by sharing queues with the PF

Pull kcsan update from Paul McKenney:
"Introduce __data_racy type qualifier
This adds a __data_racy type qualifier that enables kernel developers
to inform KCSAN that a given variable is a shared variable without
needing to mark each and every access.
This allows pre-KCSAN code to be correctly (if approximately)
instrumented withh very little effort, and also provides people
reading the code a clear indication that the variable is in fact
shared.
In addition, it permits incremental transition to per-access KCSAN

kcsan, compiler_types: Introduce __data_racy type qualifier
|
|
Based on the discussion at [1], it would be helpful to mark certain
variables as explicitly "data racy", which would result in KCSAN not
reporting data races involving any accesses on such variables. To do
that, introduce the __data_racy type qualifier:
struct foo {
...
int __data_racy bar;
...
};
In KCSAN-kernels, __data_racy turns into volatile, which KCSAN already
treats specially by considering them "marked". In non-KCSAN kernels the
type qualifier turns into no-op.
The generated code between KCSAN-instrumented kernels and non-KCSAN
kernels is already huge (inserted calls into runtime for every memory
access), so the extra generated code (if any) due to volatile for few
such __data_racy variables are unlikely to have measurable impact on
performance.

It turned out that KMSAN instruments READ_ONCE_NOCHECK(), resulting in
false positive reports, because __no_sanitize_or_inline enforced inlining.
Properly declare __no_sanitize_or_inline under __SANITIZE_MEMORY__, so
that it does not __always_inline the annotated function.

Some structures contain flexible arrays at the end and the counter for
them, but the counter has explicit Endianness and thus __counted_by()
can't be used directly.
To increase test coverage for potential problems without breaking
anything, introduce __counted_by_{le,be}() defined depending on
platform's Endianness to either __counted_by() when applicable or noop
otherwise.
Maybe it would be a good idea to introduce such attributes on compiler
level if possible, but for now let's stop on what we have.

Pull hardening updates from Kees Cook:
"As is pretty normal for this tree, there are changes all over the
place, especially for small fixes, selftest improvements, and improved
macro usability.
Some header changes ended up landing via this tree as they depended on
the string header cleanups. Also, a notable set of changes is the work
for the reintroduction of the UBSAN signed integer overflow sanitizer
so that we can continue to make improvements on the compiler side to
make this sanitizer a more viable future security hardening option.
Summary:
- string.h and related header cleanups (Tanzir Hasan, Andy
Shevchenko)
- VMCI memcpy() usage and struct_size() cleanups (Vasiliy Kovalev,
Harshit Mogalapalli)
- selftests/powerpc: Fix load_unaligned_zeropad build failure

- Handle tail call optimization better in LKDTM (Douglas Anderson)
- Use long form types in overflow.h (Andy Shevchenko)
- Add flags param to string_get_size() (Andy Shevchenko)
- Add Coccinelle script for potential struct_size() use (Jacob
Keller)
- Fix objtool corner case under KCFI (Josh Poimboeuf)
- Drop 13 year old backward compat CAP_SYS_ADMIN check (Jingzi Meng)
- Add str_plural() helper (Michal Wajdeczko, Kees Cook)

GCC recently added option -fmin-function-alignment, which should appear
in GCC 14. Unlike -falign-functions, this option causes all functions to
be aligned at the specified value, including the cold ones.
In particular, when an arm64 kernel is built with
DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS=y, the 8-byte function alignment is
required for correct functionality. This was done by -falign-functions=8
and having workarounds in the kernel to force the compiler to follow
this alignment. The new -fmin-function-alignment option directly
guarantees it.
Detect availability of -fmin-function-alignment and use it instead of
-falign-functions when present. Introduce CC_HAS_SANE_FUNCTION_ALIGNMENT
and enable __cold to work as expected when it is set.
