Pull VDSO updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Updates for the VDSO subsystem:
- Ensure that the CLOCK_AUX base calculations are properly scaled
against the base timekeeper. The update function failed to take the
fractional nanosecond part into account, which results in a
rounding error.
- Cleanup and consolidate the vsyscall headers to get rid of
pointless copies all over the architectures.
- Replace a runtime conditional in the time getter function for
namespaced clocks by simple pointer arithmetic which speeds up the
read function"

After a recent change in LLVM [1], builds with the random vDSO
implementation, such as PowerPC and RISC-V, fail when checking the vDSO:
arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg: dynamic relocations are not supported
arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso.so.dbg: dynamic relocations are not supported
memset() is now generated when zeroing params->reserved for some builds
because LLVM has an optimization (now run in more instances) that can
recognize at compile time when it is assigning a static value to a
contiguous area of memory and turn that into a call to memset(). Both
clang and GCC assume memset() is always available [2].
Clang has an internal fiddly hook, -max-store-memset, which we can set
to a high number, to disable generating out of line memset calls [3].
Similarly, GCC has -finline-stringops=memset to do the same [4], should
this issue ever hit future version of GCC. While these options wouldn't
make sense for normal kernel code, it is fine for the extremely limited
and intentionally compact vDSO code.

Pull s390 updates from Vasily Gorbik:
- Add a cpuidle driver with polling and enabled wait states using the
existing CPU idle infrastructure and idle governor to improve latency
for frequent sleep/wakeup cycles. Remove the obsolete tick delay
heuristic and generic arch_needs_cpu() hook. Add the corresponding
driver entry to MAINTAINERS
- Add kCFI support using the generic support provided by Clang
- Enable Clang CONTEXT_ANALYSIS for various architecture code and for
char, PCI, CIO and virtio drivers. Add required lock annotations,
exclude unsupported mm helpers and remove conditional PCI locking
- Fix secure storage access exception handling and reintroduce
DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS previously removed as a workaround
- Fix cpum_cf perf crashes when CPUs are brought online while per-task
events are active. Allocate and remove per-CPU counter data from CPU
hotplug callbacks
- Fix a deadlock when an s390dbf debug area is unregistered while one
of its debugfs files is being written to
- Fix MVIY_PERCPU() with binutils older than 2.39, where an assembler
macro silently omitted an instruction needed to repair interrupted
operations after CPU migration
- Remove/replace cond_resched() calls which are no-ops with the
supported s390 preemption models
- Fix AP queue depth and maximum message length decoding according to
the architecture. Current hardware is not affected, but future
hardware could report values which were handled incorrectly
- Reflect the configured CPU state in cpu_enabled_mask so deconfigured
CPUs are not presented as available for onlining
- Restore the vDSO GNU_EH_FRAME program header which was lost when the
build switched to direct linker invocation, and mark it read-only
- Add SCLP action qualifiers used by Spyre for card initialization,
recoverable error and telemetry reporting
- Move KMSAN interrupt flag helpers out of line to fix
-Wstatic-in-inline build warnings
- Use level-specific page table entry accessors for hugetlb entries and
ptep_get() when accessing crashed kernel memory in kdump
- Make forced AP bus rescans killable so that a user process blocked
behind an ongoing scan can still be terminated with SIGKILL
- Rework pkey ioctl error paths to remove duplicated cleanup code and
avoid freeing error pointers
- Allow the protected guest SWIOTLB buffer to be allocated outside the
first 2GB. Also enable dynamic SWIOTLB growth and the coherent atomic
pool fallback to improve I/O behavior when the initial pool is
exhausted
- Add program check statistics and spinlock contention tracepoints.
Increase the lockdep chain capacity to keep lockdep enabled for
complex code paths such as btrfs
- Simplify IPL, trap and syscall code and remove the obsolete
unistd_32.h generation entry

Commit 2b2a25845d53 ("s390/vdso: Use $(LD) instead of $(CC) to link
vDSO") accidentally broke the GNU_EH_FRAME program table entry in
the vDSO, causing it to be empty:
$ readelf --program-headers arch/s390/kernel/vdso/vdso.so
...
Program Headers:
Type Offset VirtAddr PhysAddr
FileSiz MemSiz Flags Align
...
GNU_EH_FRAME 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000
0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x8

Originally, the compiler would implicitly add --eh-frame-hdr when
invoking the linker, but when this Makefile was converted from invoking
the linker via the compiler, to invoking it directly, the option was
missed.
This is the s390 variant of x86 commit cd01544a268a ("x86/vdso: Pass
--eh-frame-hdr to the linker").

Pull VDSO updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Provide the missing 64-bit variant of clock_getres()
This allows the extension of CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME to the vDSO and
finally the removal of 32-bit time types from the kernel and UAPI.
- Remove the useless and broken getcpu_cache from the VDSO
The intention was to provide a trivial way to retrieve the CPU number
from the VDSO, but as the VDSO data is per process there is no way to
make it work.
- Switch get/put_unaligned() from packed struct to memcpy()
The packed struct violates strict aliasing rules which requires to
pass -fno-strict-aliasing to the compiler. As this are scalar values
__builtin_memcpy() turns them into simple loads and stores
- Use __typeof_unqual__() for __unqual_scalar_typeof()
The get/put_unaligned() changes triggered a new sparse warning when
__beNN types are used with get/put_unaligned() as sparse builds add a
special 'bitwise' attribute to them which prevents sparse to evaluate
the Generic in __unqual_scalar_typeof().
Newer sparse versions support __typeof_unqual__() which avoids the
problem, but requires a recent sparse install. So this adds a sanity
check to sparse builds, which validates that sparse is available and
capable of handling it.
- Force inline __cvdso_clock_getres_common()
Compilers sometimes un-inline agressively, which results in function
call overhead and problems with automatic stack variable
initialization.
Interestingly enough the force inlining results in smaller code than
the un-inlined variant produced by GCC when optimizing for size.

For some reason gcc 8, 9, 10, and 11 generate a dynamic relocation in
vdso.so.dbg if CONFIG_KSTACK_ERASE is enabled:

Add $(DISABLE_KSTACK_ERASE) to vdso compile flags to fix this.

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.

The compiler/assembler flag -m64 is added and removed at two locations.
This pointless exercise is a leftover to keep the 31 and 64 bit vdso
Makefiles as symmetrical as possible. Given that the 31 bit vdso code
does not exist anymore, remove the -m64 flag handling.
