v2: - Select ARCH_USES_CFI_GENERIC_LLVM_PASS [Nathan Chancellor] - Add CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER guard to ftrace stub [bot+bpf-ci] - Add additional CFI offset adjustments to bpf code [sashiko-bot] - Move bpf patch before ARCH_SUPPORTS_CFI is selected, since there are functions with missing __bpfcall atttribute [sashiko-bot] v1: Add s390 kCFI support using the generic support provided by clang. This comes with a couple of limitations: The generic kCFI implementation does not generate a .kcfi_traps section, nor is a special instruction used in case a checksum mismatch is detected. This means in case of a checksum mismatch the kernel just crashes. It should be quite easy to tell by the surrounding code that a crash happened because of a checksum mismatch. If clang and/or gcc provide a .kcfi_traps section it will be possible to print proper CFI messages instead of just crashing the kernel (enable ARCH_USES_CFI_TRAPS). In addition this also means that CFI_PERMISSIVE does not work. Even if the option is selected the kernel will crash in case of a checksum mismatch. However it seems to be acceptable to enable kCFI support to the kernel now even if it is not perfect. Later s390 specific clang and gcc extensions are required to improve this. This passes all ftrace selftests. It also passes the kernel bpf selftests (vmtest.sh), except those using the task work scheduling kfuncs. However that appears to be a real bug and has been reported [1]. (Update: fix for [1] is available [2]).
