<id>urn:sha1:ee8a84c60bcc1f1615bd9cb3edfe501e26cdc85b</id>
<content type='text'>
Using ".arm .inst" for the arm signature introduces build issues for
programs compiled in Thumb mode because the assembler stays in the
arm mode for the rest of the inline assembly. Revert to using a ".word"
to express the signature as data instead.

The choice of signature is a valid trap instruction on arm32 little
endian, where both code and data are little endian.

ARMv6+ big endian (BE8) generates mixed endianness code vs data:
little-endian code and big-endian data. The data value of the signature
needs to have its byte order reversed to generate the trap instruction.

Prior to ARMv6, -mbig-endian generates big-endian code and data
(which match), so the endianness of the data representation of the
signature should not be reversed. However, the choice between BE32
and BE8 is done by the linker, so we cannot know whether code and
data endianness will be mixed before the linker is invoked. So rather
than try to play tricks with the linker, the rseq signature is simply
data (not a trap instruction) prior to ARMv6 on big endian. This is
why the signature is expressed as data (.word) rather than as
instruction (.inst) in assembler.

Because a ".word" is used to emit the signature, it will be interpreted
as a literal pool by a disassembler, not as an actual instruction.
Considering that the signature is not meant to be executed except in
scenarios where the program execution is completely bogus, this should
not be an issue.

<id>urn:sha1:4c7b63a32d54850a31a00f22131db417face70e4</id>
<content type='text'>
Pull more kselftest updates from Shuah Khan:

 - kselftest framework bpf build/test workflow regression fix

 - Fix to kselftest install to use default install path

 - Fix to kselftest KBUILD_OUTPUT builds to not clutter main
   KBUILD_OUTPUT directory with selftest objects

 - .gitignore fixes (Kelsey Skunberg)

 - rseq selftests updates (Mathieu Desnoyers and Martin Schwidefsky)

   They change the per-architecture pre-abort signatures to ensure those
   are valid trap instructions.

   The way exit points are presented to debuggers is enhanced, ensuring
   all exit points are present, so debuggers don't have to disassemble
   rseq critical section to properly skip over them.

   Discussions with the glibc community is reaching a consensus of
   exposing a __rseq_handled symbol from glibc to coexist with rseq
   early adopters. Update the rseq selftest code to expose and use this
   symbol.

   Support for compiling asm goto with clang is added with the
   "-no-integrated-as" compiler switch, similarly to the top level
   kernel Makefile.

 - kselftest Makefile test run output refactoring and making test output
   TAP13 compliant from Kees Cook:

   This re-factors the selftest Makefiles to extract the test running
   logic to be reused between "run_tests" and "emit_tests", while also
   fixing up the test output to be TAP version 13 compliant:
	- added "plan" line
	- fixed result line syntax
	- moved all test output to be "# "-prefixed as TAP "diagnostic"
	  lines

   The prefixing code includes a fallback mode for limited execution
   environments.

   Additionally, the plan lines are fixed for all callers of
   kselftest.h.

<id>urn:sha1:fdeb89d84eb28241f5168cc13cc53a5c39f5d111</id>
<content type='text'>
Ongoing work for asm goto support from clang requires the
-no-integrated-as compiler flag.

This compiler flag is present in the toplevel kernel Makefile,
but is not replicated for selftests. Add it specifically for
the rseq selftest which requires asm goto.

Use break as guard instruction for the restartable sequence abort
handler.

Previously, the chosen signature was simply data, based on the
assumption that it could always sit in a literal pool. However,
some compilation environments favor disabling literal pool. Therefore,
ensure the signature is a valid uncommon trap instruction.

Previously, the chosen signature was not a valid instruction, based
on the assumption that it could always sit in a literal pool. However,
there are compilation environments in which literal pools are not
available, for instance execute-only code. Therefore, we need to
choose a signature value that is also a valid instruction.

Prior to ARMv6, -mbig-endian generates big-endian code and data, so
endianness should not be reversed in that case.

<content type='text'>
Use ud1 as the guard instruction for the restartable sequence abort
handler. Its benefit compared to nopl is to trap execution if the
program ends up trying to execute it by mistake, which makes debugging
easier.

The 4-byte signature per se is unchanged (it is the instruction
operand). Only the opcode is changed from nopl to ud1.
