[PATCH bpf-next 0/1] Support kCFI + BPF on arm64

On ARM64 with CONFIG_CFI_CLANG, CFI warnings can be triggered by running
the bpf selftests. This is because the JIT doesn't emit proper CFI prologues
for BPF programs, callbacks, and struct_ops trampolines.

Example Warning:

 CFI failure at bpf_rbtree_add_impl+0x120/0x1d4 (target: bpf_prog_fb8b097ab47d164a_less+0x0/0x98; expected type: 0x9e4709a9)

This patch fixes the prologue and trampoline generation code to emit the
KCFI hash before the expected branch targets. The KCFI hashes are generated
at compile time and are unique to function prototypes. To allow the JIT to
find these hashes at runtime, the following behaviour of the compiler is used:

Two function prototypes are declared, one for BPF programs and another for callbacks:

extern unsigned int __bpf_prog_runX(const void *ctx, const struct bpf_insn *insn);
extern u64 __bpf_callback_fn(u64, u64, u64, u64, u64);

We force a reference to these external symbols:

__ADDRESSABLE(__bpf_prog_runX);
__ADDRESSABLE(__bpf_callback_fn);

This makes the compiler add the following two symbols with the hashes in
the symbol table:

00000000d9421881     0 NOTYPE  WEAK   DEFAULT  ABS __kcfi_typeid___bpf_prog_runX
000000009e4709a9     0 NOTYPE  WEAK   DEFAULT  ABS __kcfi_typeid___bpf_callback_fn

The JIT can now use the above symbols to emit the hashes in the prologues of
the programs and callbacks.

For struct_ops trampoline, the bpf_struct_ops_prepare_trampoline() function
receives a stub function that would have the hash at (function - 4). The
bpf_struct_ops_prepare_trampoline() sets `flags = BPF_TRAMP_F_INDIRECT;`
which tells prepare_trampoline() to find the hash before the stub function
and emit it in the struct_ops trampoline.

Running the selftests causes no CFI warnings:
---------------------------------------------

test_progs: Summary: 454/3613 PASSED, 62 SKIPPED, 74 FAILED
test_tag: OK (40945 tests)
test_verifier: Summary: 789 PASSED, 0 SKIPPED, 0 FAILED

ARM64 Doesn't support DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS when CFI_CLANG is
enabled. This causes all tests that attach fentry to kernel functions to fail.

While running the selftests, I saw some CFI warnings which were related to
static calls. Josh Poimboeuf had sent a patch series[1] last year that includes
a patch to fix this issue. I forward ported those patches and rebased my patch
on that series. You can find the tree here[2]. With this tree there are
zero CFI warnings.
