arm64: move PAC masks to <asm/pointer_auth.h>

Now that we use XPACLRI to strip PACs within the kernel, the
ptrauth_user_pac_mask() and ptrauth_kernel_pac_mask() definitions no
longer need to live in <asm/compiler.h>.

Move them to <asm/pointer_auth.h>, and ensure that this header is
included where they are used.

arm64: use XPACLRI to strip PAC

Currently we strip the PAC from pointers using C code, which requires
generating bitmasks, and conditionally clearing/setting bits depending
on bit 55. We can do better by using XPACLRI directly.

When the logic was originally written to strip PACs from user pointers,
contemporary toolchains used for the kernel had assemblers which were
unaware of the PAC instructions. As stripping the PAC from userspace
pointers required unconditional clearing of a fixed set of bits (which
could be performed with a single instruction), it was simpler to
implement the masking in C than it was to make use of XPACI or XPACLRI.

When support for in-kernel pointer authentication was added, the
stripping logic was extended to cover TTBR1 pointers, requiring several
instructions to handle whether to clear/set bits dependent on bit 55 of
the pointer.

This patch simplifies the stripping of PACs by using XPACLRI directly,
as contemporary toolchains do within __builtin_return_address(). This
saves a number of instructions, especially where
__builtin_return_address() does not implicitly strip the PAC but is
heavily used (e.g. with tracepoints). As the kernel might be compiled
with an assembler without knowledge of XPACLRI, it is assembled using
the 'HINT #7' alias, which results in an identical opcode.

At the same time, I've split ptrauth_strip_insn_pac() into
ptrauth_strip_user_insn_pac() and ptrauth_strip_kernel_insn_pac()
helpers so that we can avoid unnecessary PAC stripping when pointer
authentication is not in use in userspace or kernel respectively.

The underlying xpaclri() macro uses inline assembly which clobbers x30.
The clobber causes the compiler to save/restore the original x30 value
in a frame record (protected with PACIASP and AUTIASP when in-kernel
authentication is enabled), so this does not provide a gadget to alter
the return address. Similarly this does not adversely affect unwinding
due to the presence of the frame record.

The ptrauth_user_pac_mask() and ptrauth_kernel_pac_mask() are exported
from the kernel in ptrace and core dumps, so these are retained. A
subsequent patch will move them out of <asm/compiler.h>.

arm64: avoid redundant PAC stripping in __builtin_return_address()

In old versions of GCC and Clang, __builtin_return_address() did not
strip the PAC. This was not the behaviour we desired, and so we wrapped
this with code to strip the PAC in commit:

689eae42afd7a916 ("arm64: mask PAC bits of __builtin_return_address")

Since then, both GCC and Clang decided that __builtin_return_address()
*should* strip the PAC, and the existing behaviour was a bug.

GCC was fixed in 11.1.0, with those fixes backported to 10.2.0, 9.4.0,
8.5.0, but not earlier:

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=94891

Clang was fixed in 12.0.0, though this was not backported:

https://reviews.llvm.org/D75044

When using a compiler whose __builtin_return_address() strips the PAC,
our wrapper to strip the PAC is redundant. Similarly, when pointer
authentication is not in use within the kernel pointers will not have a
PAC, and so there's no point stripping those pointers.

To avoid this redundant work, this patch updates the
__builtin_return_address() wrapper to only be used when in-kernel
pointer authentication is configured and the compiler's
__builtin_return_address() does not strip the PAC.

This is a cleanup/optimization, and not a fix that requires backporting.
Stripping a PAC should be an idempotent operation, and so redundantly
stripping the PAC is not harmful.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

cfi: Use __builtin_function_start

Clang 14 added support for the __builtin_function_start function,
which allows us to implement the function_nocfi macro without
architecture-specific inline assembly and in a way that also works
with static initializers.

Change CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to depend on Clang >= 14, define
function_nocfi using __builtin_function_start, and remove the arm64
inline assembly implementation.

CFI: Move function_nocfi() into compiler.h

Currently the common definition of function_nocfi() is provided by
<linux/mm.h>, and architectures are expected to provide a definition in
<asm/memory.h>. Due to header dependencies, this can make it hard to use
function_nocfi() in low-level headers.

As function_nocfi() has no dependency on any mm code, nor on any memory
definitions, it doesn't need to live in <linux/mm.h> or <asm/memory.h>.
Generally, it would make more sense for it to live in
<linux/compiler.h>, where an architecture can override it in
<asm/compiler.h>.

Move the definitions accordingly.

arm64: use a common .arch preamble for inline assembly

Commit 7c78f67e9bd9 ("arm64: enable tlbi range instructions") breaks
LLVM's integrated assembler, because -Wa,-march is only passed to
external assemblers and therefore, the new instructions are not enabled
when IAS is used.

This change adds a common architecture version preamble, which can be
used in inline assembly blocks that contain instructions that require
a newer architecture version, and uses it to fix __TLBI_0 and __TLBI_1
with ARM64_TLB_RANGE.

arm64/crash_core: Export KERNELPACMASK in vmcoreinfo

Recently arm64 linux kernel added support for Armv8.3-A Pointer
Authentication feature. If this feature is enabled in the kernel and the
hardware supports address authentication then the return addresses are
signed and stored in the stack to prevent ROP kind of attack. Kdump tool
will now dump the kernel with signed lr values in the stack.

Any user analysis tool for this kernel dump may need the kernel pac mask
information in vmcoreinfo to generate the correct return address for
stacktrace purpose as well as to resolve the symbol name.

This patch is similar to commit ec6e822d1a22d0eef ("arm64: expose user PAC
bit positions via ptrace") which exposes pac mask information via ptrace
interfaces.

The config gaurd ARM64_PTR_AUTH is removed form asm/compiler.h so macros
like ptrauth_kernel_pac_mask can be used ungaurded. This config protection
is confusing as the pointer authentication feature may be missing at
runtime even though this config is present.

arm64: mask PAC bits of __builtin_return_address

Functions like vmap() record how much memory has been allocated by their
callers, and callers are identified using __builtin_return_address(). Once
the kernel is using pointer-auth the return address will be signed. This
means it will not match any kernel symbol, and will vary between threads
even for the same caller.

The output of /proc/vmallocinfo in this case may look like,
0x(____ptrval____)-0x(____ptrval____) 20480 0x86e28000100e7c60 pages=4 vmalloc N0=4
0x(____ptrval____)-0x(____ptrval____) 20480 0x86e28000100e7c60 pages=4 vmalloc N0=4
0x(____ptrval____)-0x(____ptrval____) 20480 0xc5c78000100e7c60 pages=4 vmalloc N0=4

The above three 64bit values should be the same symbol name and not
different LR values.

Use the pre-processor to add logic to clear the PAC to
__builtin_return_address() callers. This patch adds a new file
asm/compiler.h and is transitively included via include/compiler_types.h on
the compiler command line so it is guaranteed to be loaded and the users of
this macro will not find a wrong version.

Helper macros ptrauth_kernel_pac_mask/ptrauth_clear_pac are created for
this purpose and added in this file. Existing macro ptrauth_user_pac_mask
moved from asm/pointer_auth.h.
