The core_kernel_text() should check the gate area, as it is part of kernel
text range, use is_kernel_text() in core_kernel_text().

The is_kernel_inittext() and init_kernel_text() are with same
functionality, let's just keep is_kernel_inittext() and move it into
sections.h, then update all the callers.

<title>mm: create a new system state and fix core_kernel_text()</title>

<content type='text'>
core_kernel_text() considers that until system_state in at least
SYSTEM_RUNNING, init memory is valid.

But init memory is freed a few lines before setting SYSTEM_RUNNING, so
we have a small period of time when core_kernel_text() is wrong.

Create an intermediate system state called SYSTEM_FREEING_INIT that is
set before starting freeing init memory, and use it in
core_kernel_text() to report init memory invalid earlier.

Clang warns:

These are not true arrays, they are linker defined symbols, which are just
addresses.  Using the address of operator silences the warning and does
not change the resulting assembly with either clang/ld.lld or gcc/ld
(tested with diff + objdump -Dr).

<id>urn:sha1:7ac88eba185b4d0e06a71678e54bc092edcd3af3</id>
<content type='text'>
Now that we have all the objects (bpf_prog, bpf_trampoline,
bpf_dispatcher) linked in bpf_tree, there's no need to have
separate bpf_image tree for images.

Reverting the bpf_image tree together with struct bpf_image,
because it's no longer needed.

Also removing bpf_image_alloc function and adding the original
bpf_jit_alloc_exec_page interface instead.

The kernel_text_address function can now rely only on is_bpf_text_address,
because it checks the bpf_tree that contains all the objects.

Keeping bpf_image_ksym_add and bpf_image_ksym_del because they are
useful wrappers with perf's ksymbol interface calls.

<content type='text'>
When unwinding the stack we need to identify each address
to successfully continue. Adding latch tree to keep trampolines
for quick lookup during the unwind.

The patch uses first 48 bytes for latch tree node, leaving 4048
bytes from the rest of the page for trampoline or dispatcher
generated code.

It's still enough not to affect trampoline and dispatcher progs
maximum counts.

<title>bpf: Add support for BTF pointers to x86 JIT</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.stealer.net/cgit.cgi/user/sven/linux.git/commit/?id=3dec541b2e632d630fe7142ed44f0b3702ef1f8c'/>
<id>urn:sha1:3dec541b2e632d630fe7142ed44f0b3702ef1f8c</id>
<content type='text'>
Pointer to BTF object is a pointer to kernel object or NULL.
Such pointers can only be used by BPF_LDX instructions.
The verifier changed their opcode from LDX|MEM|size
to LDX|PROBE_MEM|size to make JITing easier.
The number of entries in extable is the number of BPF_LDX insns
that access kernel memory via "pointer to BTF type".
Only these load instructions can fault.
Since x86 extable is relative it has to be allocated in the same
memory region as JITed code.
Allocate it prior to last pass of JITing and let the last pass populate it.
Pointer to extable in bpf_prog_aux is necessary to make page fault
handling fast.
Page fault handling is done in two steps:
1. bpf_prog_kallsyms_find() finds BPF program that page faulted.
   It's done by walking rb tree.
2. then extable for given bpf program is binary searched.
This process is similar to how page faulting is done for kernel modules.
The exception handler skips over faulting x86 instruction and
initializes destination register with zero. This mimics exact
behavior of bpf_probe_read (when probe_kernel_read faults dest is zeroed).

JITs for other architectures can add support in similar way.
Until then they will reject unknown opcode and fallback to interpreter.

Since extable should be aligned and placed near JITed code
make bpf_jit_binary_alloc() return 4 byte aligned image offset,
so that extable aligning formula in bpf_int_jit_compile() doesn't need
to rely on internal implementation of bpf_jit_binary_alloc().
On x86 gcc defaults to 16-byte alignment for regular kernel functions
due to better performance. JITed code may be aligned to 16 in the future,
but it will use 4 in the meantime.

Certain architecture specific operating modes (e.g., in powerpc machine
check handler that is unable to access vmalloc memory), the
search_exception_tables cannot be called because it also searches the
module exception tables if entry is not found in the kernel exception
table.
