randomize_kstack: Unify random source across arches
Previously different architectures were using random sources of differing strength and cost to decide the random kstack offset. A number of architectures (loongarch, powerpc, s390, x86) were using their timestamp counter, at whatever the frequency happened to be. Other arches (arm64, riscv) were using entropy from the crng via get_random_u16().
There have been concerns that in some cases the timestamp counters may be too weak, because they can be easily guessed or influenced by user space. And get_random_u16() has been shown to be too costly for the level of protection kstack offset randomization provides.
So let's use a common, architecture-agnostic source of entropy; a per-cpu prng, seeded at boot-time from the crng. This has a few benefits:
- We can remove choose_random_kstack_offset(); That was only there to try to make the timestamp counter value a bit harder to influence from user space [*].
- The architecture code is simplified. All it has to do now is call add_random_kstack_offset() in the syscall path.
- The strength of the randomness can be reasoned about independently of the architecture.
- Arches previously using get_random_u16() now have much faster syscall paths, see below results.
[*] Additionally, this gets rid of some redundant work on s390 and x86. Before this patch, those architectures called choose_random_kstack_offset() under arch_exit_to_user_mode_prepare(), which is also called for exception returns to userspace which were *not* syscalls (e.g. regular interrupts). Getting rid of choose_random_kstack_offset() avoids a small amount of redundant work for the non-syscall cases.
In some configurations, add_random_kstack_offset() will now call instrumentable code, so for a couple of arches, I have moved the call a bit later to the first point where instrumentation is allowed. This doesn't impact the efficacy of the mechanism.
There have been some claims that a prng may be less strong than the timestamp counter if not regularly reseeded. But the prng has a period of about 2^113. So as long as the prng state remains secret, it should not be possible to guess. If the prng state can be accessed, we have bigger problems.
Additionally, we are only consuming 6 bits to randomize the stack, so there are only 64 possible random offsets. I assert that it would be trivial for an attacker to brute force by repeating their attack and waiting for the random stack offset to be the desired one. The prng approach seems entirely proportional to this level of protection.
Performance data are provided below. The baseline is v6.18 with rndstack on for each respective arch. (I)/(R) indicate statistically significant improvement/regression. arm64 platform is AWS Graviton3 (m7g.metal). x86_64 platform is AWS Sapphire Rapids (m7i.24xlarge):
+-----------------+--------------+---------------+---------------+ | Benchmark | Result Class | per-cpu-prng | per-cpu-prng | | | | arm64 (metal) | x86_64 (VM) | +=================+==============+===============+===============+ | syscall/getpid | mean (ns) | (I) -9.50% | (I) -17.65% | | | p99 (ns) | (I) -59.24% | (I) -24.41% | | | p99.9 (ns) | (I) -59.52% | (I) -28.52% | +-----------------+--------------+---------------+---------------+ | syscall/getppid | mean (ns) | (I) -9.52% | (I) -19.24% | | | p99 (ns) | (I) -59.25% | (I) -25.03% | | | p99.9 (ns) | (I) -59.50% | (I) -28.17% | +-----------------+--------------+---------------+---------------+ | syscall/invalid | mean (ns) | (I) -10.31% | (I) -18.56% | | | p99 (ns) | (I) -60.79% | (I) -20.06% | | | p99.9 (ns) | (I) -61.04% | (I) -25.04% | +-----------------+--------------+---------------+---------------+
I tested an earlier version of this change on x86 bare metal and it showed a smaller but still significant improvement. The bare metal system wasn't available this time around so testing was done in a VM instance. I'm guessing the cost of rdtsc is higher for VMs.

randomize_kstack: Maintain kstack_offset per task
kstack_offset was previously maintained per-cpu, but this caused a couple of issues. So let's instead make it per-task.
Issue 1: add_random_kstack_offset() and choose_random_kstack_offset() expected and required to be called with interrupts and preemption disabled so that it could manipulate per-cpu state. But arm64, loongarch and risc-v are calling them with interrupts and preemption enabled. I don't _think_ this causes any functional issues, but it's certainly unexpected and could lead to manipulating the wrong cpu's state, which could cause a minor performance degradation due to bouncing the cache lines. By maintaining the state per-task those functions can safely be called in preemptible context.
Issue 2: add_random_kstack_offset() is called before executing the syscall and expands the stack using a previously chosen random offset. choose_random_kstack_offset() is called after executing the syscall and chooses and stores a new random offset for the next syscall. With per-cpu storage for this offset, an attacker could force cpu migration during the execution of the syscall and prevent the offset from being updated for the original cpu such that it is predictable for the next syscall on that cpu. By maintaining the state per-task, this problem goes away because the per-task random offset is updated after the syscall regardless of which cpu it is executing on.

vdso/datastore: Allocate data pages dynamically
Allocating the data pages as part of the kernel image does not work on SPARC. The MMU will raise a fault when userspace tries to access them.
Allocate the data pages through the page allocator instead.
Unused pages in the vDSO VMA are still allocated to keep the virtual addresses aligned. Switch the mapping from PFNs to 'struct page' as that is required for dynamically allocated pages. This also aligns the allocation of the datapages with the code pages and is a prerequisite for mlockall() support.
VM_MIXEDMAP is necessary for the call to vmf_insert_page() in the timens prefault path to work.
The data pages need to be order-0, non-compound pages so that the mapping to userspace and the different orderings work.
These pages are also used by the timekeeping, random pool and architecture initialization code. Some of these are running before the page allocator is available. To keep these subsytems working without changes, introduce early, statically data storage which will then replaced by the real one as soon as that is available.

arch, mm: consolidate initialization of nodes, zones and memory map
To initialize node, zone and memory map data structures every architecture calls free_area_init() during setup_arch() and passes it an array of zone limits.
Beside code duplication it creates "interesting" ordering cases between allocation and initialization of hugetlb and the memory map. Some architectures allocate hugetlb pages very early in setup_arch() in certain cases, some only create hugetlb CMA areas in setup_arch() and sometimes hugetlb allocations happen mm_core_init().
With arch_zone_limits_init() helper available now on all architectures it is no longer necessary to call free_area_init() from architecture setup code. Rather core MM initialization can call arch_zone_limits_init() in a single place.
This allows to unify ordering of hugetlb vs memory map allocation and initialization.
Remove the call to free_area_init() from architecture specific code and place it in a new mm_core_init_early() function that is called immediately after setup_arch().
After this refactoring it is possible to consolidate hugetlb allocations and eliminate differences in ordering of hugetlb and memory map initialization among different architectures.
As the first step of this consolidation move hugetlb_bootmem_alloc() to mm_core_early_init().

init/main: read bootconfig header with get_unaligned_le32()
get_boot_config_from_initrd() scans up to 3 bytes before initrd_end to handle GRUB 4-byte alignment. As a result, the bootconfig header immediately preceding the magic may be unaligned.
Read the size and checksum fields with get_unaligned_le32() instead of casting to u32 * and using le32_to_cpu(), avoiding potential unaligned access and silencing sparse "cast to restricted __le32" warnings.
Sparse warnings (gcc + C=1): init/main.c:292:16: warning: cast to restricted __le32 init/main.c:293:16: warning: cast to restricted __le32
No functional change intended.

We've been quite busy with fixes since the merge window, though not in any particularly exciting ways - the standout thing is the fix for _SX controls which were broken by a change to how we do clamping, otherwise it's all fairly run of the mill fixes and quirks.
