<title>LoongArch: vDSO: Emit GNU_EH_FRAME correctly</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e4878c37f6679fdea91b27a0f4e60a871f0b7bad</id>
<content type='text'>
With -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables and --no-eh-frame-hdr (the default
of the linker), the GNU_EH_FRAME segment (specified by vdso.lds.S) is
empty.  This is not valid, as the current DWARF specification mandates
the first byte of the EH frame to be the version number 1.  It causes
some unwinders to complain, for example the ClickHouse query profiler
spams the log with messages:

    clickhouse-server[365854]: libunwind: unsupported .eh_frame_hdr
    version: 127 at 7ffffffb0000

Here "127" is just the byte located at the p_vaddr (0, i.e. the
beginning of the vDSO) of the empty GNU_EH_FRAME segment. Cross-
checking with /proc/365854/maps has also proven 7ffffffb0000 is the
start of vDSO in the process VM image.

In LoongArch the -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables option seems just a
MIPS legacy, and MIPS only uses this option to satisfy the MIPS-specific
"genvdso" program, per the commit cfd75c2db17e ("MIPS: VDSO: Explicitly
use -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables").  IIRC it indicates some inherent
limitation of the MIPS ELF ABI and has nothing to do with LoongArch.  So
we can simply flip it over to -fasynchronous-unwind-tables and pass
--eh-frame-hdr for linking the vDSO, allowing the profilers to unwind the
stack for statistics even if the sample point is taken when the PC is in
the vDSO.

However simply adjusting the options above would exploit an issue: when
the libgcc unwinder saw the invalid GNU_EH_FRAME segment, it silently
falled back to a machine-specific routine to match the code pattern of
rt_sigreturn() and extract the registers saved in the sigframe if the
code pattern is matched.  As unwinding from signal handlers is vital for
libgcc to support pthread cancellation etc., the fall-back routine had
been silently keeping the LoongArch Linux systems functioning since
Linux 5.19.  But when we start to emit GNU_EH_FRAME with the correct
format, fall-back routine will no longer be used and libgcc will fail
to unwind the sigframe, and unwinding from signal handlers will no
longer work, causing dozens of glibc test failures.  To make it possible
to unwind from signal handlers again, it's necessary to code the unwind
info in __vdso_rt_sigreturn via .cfi_* directives.

The offsets in the .cfi_* directives depend on the layout of struct
sigframe, notably the offset of sigcontext in the sigframe.  To use the
offset in the assembly file, factor out struct sigframe into a header to
allow asm-offsets.c to output the offset for assembly.

To work around a long-term issue in the libgcc unwinder (the pc is
unconditionally substracted by 1: doing so is technically incorrect for
a signal frame), a nop instruction is included with the two real
instructions in __vdso_rt_sigreturn in the same FDE PC range.  The same
hack has been used on x86 for a long time.

Introduce CC_FLAGS_DIALECT to make it easier to update the various
places in the tree that rely on the GNU C standard and Microsoft
extensions flags atomically. All remaining uses of '-std=gnu11' and
'-fms-extensions' are in the tools directory (which has its own build
system) and other standalone Makefiles. This will allow the kernel to
use a narrower option to enable the Microsoft anonymous tagged structure
extension in a simpler manner. Place the CC_FLAGS_DIALECT block after
the configuration include (so that a future change can move the
selection of the flag to Kconfig) but before the
arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile include (so that CC_FLAGS_DIALECT is available
for use in those Makefiles).

<title>vdso: Remove struct getcpu_cache</title>

<content type='text'>
The cache parameter of getcpu() is useless nowadays for various reasons.

  * It is never passed by userspace for either the vDSO or syscalls.
  * It is never used by the kernel.
  * It could not be made to work on the current vDSO architecture.
  * The structure definition is not part of the UAPI headers.
  * vdso_getcpu() is superseded by restartable sequences in any case.

Remove the struct and its header.

As a side-effect this gets rid of an unwanted inclusion of the linux/
header namespace from vDSO code.

<title>kbuild: Add '-fms-extensions' to areas with dedicated CFLAGS</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5ff8ad3909524ad55297a434f87c238224825bf4</id>
<content type='text'>
This is a follow up to commit c4781dc3d1cf ("Kbuild: enable
-fms-extensions") but in a separate change due to being substantially
different from the initial submission.

There are many places within the kernel that use their own CFLAGS
instead of the main KBUILD_CFLAGS, meaning code written with the main
kernel's use of '-fms-extensions' in mind that may be tangentially
included in these areas will result in "error: declaration does not
declare anything" messages from the compiler.

Add '-fms-extensions' to all these areas to ensure consistency, along
with -Wno-microsoft-anon-tag to silence clang's warning about use of the
extension that the kernel cares about using. parisc does not build with
clang so it does not need this warning flag. LoongArch does not need it
either because -W flags from KBUILD_FLAGS are pulled into cflags-vdso.

Since $(LD) is directly used, hence -nostdlib is unneeded, MIPS has
removed this, we should remove it too.

In fact, other architectures also use $(LD) now.
