On arm64 linux gcc uses -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -funwind-tables
by default since gcc-8, so now the de facto platform ABI is to allow
unwinding from async signal handlers.

However on bare metal targets (aarch64-none-elf), and on old gcc,
async and sync unwind tables are not enabled by default to avoid
runtime memory costs.

This means if linux is built with a baremetal toolchain the vdso.so
may not have unwind tables which breaks the gcc platform ABI guarantee
in userspace.

Add -fasynchronous-unwind-tables explicitly to the vgettimeofday.o
cflags to address the ABI change.

<content type='text'>
The aarch32_vdso_pages[] array never has entries allocated in the C_VVAR
or C_VDSO slots, and as the array is zero initialized these contain
NULL.

However in __aarch32_alloc_vdso_pages() when
aarch32_alloc_kuser_vdso_page() fails we attempt to free the page whose
struct page is at NULL, which is obviously nonsensical.

This patch removes the erroneous page freeing.

Pull arm64 fixes from Catalin Marinas:

 - Ensure that the compiler and linker versions are aligned so that ld
   doesn't complain about not understanding a .note.gnu.property section
   (emitted when pointer authentication is enabled).

 - Force -mbranch-protection=none when the feature is not enabled, in
   case a compiler may choose a different default value.

 - Remove CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA. It was never in defconfig and
   rarely enabled.

 - Fix checking 16-bit Thumb-2 instructions checking mask in the
   emulation of the SETEND instruction (it could match the bottom half
   of a 32-bit Thumb-2 instruction).

<id>urn:sha1:fc2266011accd5aeb8ebc335c381991f20e26e33</id>
<content type='text'>
For thumb instructions, call_undef_hook() in traps.c first reads a u16,
and if the u16 indicates a T32 instruction (u16 &gt;= 0xe800), a second
u16 is read, which then makes up the the lower half-word of a T32
instruction. For T16 instructions, the second u16 is not read,
which makes the resulting u32 opcode always have the upper half set to
0.

However, having the upper half of instr_mask in the undef_hook set to 0
masks out the upper half of all thumb instructions - both T16 and T32.
This results in trapped T32 instructions with the lower half-word equal
to the T16 encoding of setend (b650) being matched, even though the upper
half-word is not 0000 and thus indicates a T32 opcode.

An example of such a T32 instruction is eaa0b650, which should raise a
SIGILL since T32 instructions with an eaa prefix are unallocated as per
Arm ARM, but instead works as a SETEND because the second half-word is set
to b650.

This patch fixes the issue by extending instr_mask to include the
upper u32 half, which will still match T16 instructions where the upper
half is 0, but not T32 instructions.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "The bulk is in-kernel pointer authentication, activity monitors and
  lots of asm symbol annotations. I also queued the sys_mremap() patch
  commenting the asymmetry in the address untagging.

  Summary:

   - In-kernel Pointer Authentication support (previously only offered
     to user space).

   - ARM Activity Monitors (AMU) extension support allowing better CPU
     utilisation numbers for the scheduler (frequency invariance).

   - Memory hot-remove support for arm64.

   - Lots of asm annotations (SYM_*) in preparation for the in-kernel
     Branch Target Identification (BTI) support.

   - arm64 perf updates: ARMv8.5-PMU 64-bit counters, refactoring the
     PMU init callbacks, support for new DT compatibles.

   - IPv6 header checksum optimisation.

   - Fixes: SDEI (software delegated exception interface) double-lock on
     hibernate with shared events.

   - Minor clean-ups and refactoring: cpu_ops accessor,
     cpu_do_switch_mm() converted to C, cpufeature finalisation helper.

   - sys_mremap() comment explaining the asymmetric address untagging
     behaviour"

Pull timekeeping and timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Core:

   - Consolidation of the vDSO build infrastructure to address the
     difficulties of cross-builds for ARM64 compat vDSO libraries by
     restricting the exposure of header content to the vDSO build.

     This is achieved by splitting out header content into separate
     headers. which contain only the minimaly required information which
     is necessary to build the vDSO. These new headers are included from
     the kernel headers and the vDSO specific files.

   - Enhancements to the generic vDSO library allowing more fine grained
     control over the compiled in code, further reducing architecture
     specific storage and preparing for adopting the generic library by
     PPC.

   - Cleanup and consolidation of the exit related code in posix CPU
     timers.

   - Small cleanups and enhancements here and there

  Drivers:

   - The obligatory new drivers: Ingenic JZ47xx and X1000 TCU support

   - Correct the clock rate of PIT64b global clock

   - setup_irq() cleanup

   - Preparation for PWM and suspend support for the TI DM timer

   - Expand the fttmr010 driver to support ast2600 systems

Pull EFI updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The EFI changes in this cycle are much larger than usual, for two
  (positive) reasons:

   - The GRUB project is showing signs of life again, resulting in the
     introduction of the generic Linux/UEFI boot protocol, instead of
     x86 specific hacks which are increasingly difficult to maintain.
     There's hope that all future extensions will now go through that
     boot protocol.

   - Preparatory work for RISC-V EFI support.

  The main changes are:

   - Boot time GDT handling changes

   - Simplify handling of EFI properties table on arm64

   - Generic EFI stub cleanups, to improve command line handling, file
     I/O, memory allocation, etc.

   - Introduce a generic initrd loading method based on calling back
     into the firmware, instead of relying on the x86 EFI handover
     protocol or device tree.

   - Introduce a mixed mode boot method that does not rely on the x86
     EFI handover protocol either, and could potentially be adopted by
     other architectures (if another one ever surfaces where one
     execution mode is a superset of another)

   - Clean up the contents of 'struct efi', and move out everything that
     doesn't need to be stored there.

   - Incorporate support for UEFI spec v2.8A changes that permit
     firmware implementations to return EFI_UNSUPPORTED from UEFI
     runtime services at OS runtime, and expose a mask of which ones are
     supported or unsupported via a configuration table.

   - Partial fix for the lack of by-VA cache maintenance in the
     decompressor on 32-bit ARM.

   - Changes to load device firmware from EFI boot service memory
     regions

   - Various documentation updates and minor code cleanups and fixes"
