<id>urn:sha1:4402e360d0f833c8c67b2fda0d3f612f4fd8b2cc</id>
<content type='text'>
We also need to add SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START() to util/include/linux/linkage.h
and update tools/perf/check_headers.sh to ignore the include cfi_types.h
line when checking if the kernel original files drifted from the copies
we carry.

This is to get the changes from:

  ccace936eec7b805 ("x86: Add types to indirectly called assembly functions")

Addressing these tools/perf build warnings:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S' differs from latest version at 'arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S'
  diff -u tools/arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S

<title>x86: clean up symbol aliasing</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7be2e319640c8926bbba4e004a1bee9cf6ed67b0</id>
<content type='text'>
Now that we have SYM_FUNC_ALIAS() and SYM_FUNC_ALIAS_WEAK(), use those
to simplify the definition of function aliases across arch/x86.

For clarity, where there are multiple annotations such as
EXPORT_SYMBOL(), I've tried to keep annotations grouped by symbol. For
example, where a function has a name and an alias which are both
exported, this is organised as:

	SYM_FUNC_START(func)
	    ... asm insns ...
	SYM_FUNC_END(func)
	EXPORT_SYMBOL(func)

	SYM_FUNC_ALIAS(alias, func)
	EXPORT_SYMBOL(alias)

Where there are only aliases and no exports or other annotations, I have
not bothered with line spacing, e.g.

	SYM_FUNC_START(func)
	    ... asm insns ...
	SYM_FUNC_END(func)
	SYM_FUNC_ALIAS(alias, func)

The tools/perf/ copies of memset_64.S and memset_64.S are updated
likewise to avoid the build system complaining these are mismatched:

| Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S' differs from latest version at 'arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S'
| diff -u tools/arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S arch/x86/lib/memcpy_64.S
| Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/arch/x86/lib/memset_64.S' differs from latest version at 'arch/x86/lib/memset_64.S'
| diff -u tools/arch/x86/lib/memset_64.S arch/x86/lib/memset_64.S

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

<content type='text'>
The x86 instruction decoder is used for both kernel instructions and
user space instructions (e.g. uprobes, perf tools Intel PT), so it is
good to update it with new instructions.

Add AVX512-FP16 instructions to x86 instruction decoder.

Note the EVEX map field is extended by 1 bit, and most instructions are in
map 5 and map 6.

Reference:
Intel AVX512-FP16 Architecture Specification

Revision 1.0
Document Number: 347407-001US

Example using perf tools' x86 instruction decoder test:

  $ perf test -v "x86 instruction decoder" |&amp; grep vfcmaddcph | head -2
  Decoded ok: 62 f6 6f 48 56 cb           vfcmaddcph %zmm3,%zmm2,%zmm1
  Decoded ok: 62 f6 6f 48 56 8c c8 78 56 34 12    vfcmaddcph 0x12345678(%eax,%ecx,8),%zmm2,%zmm1

Add instructions to x86 instruction decoder:

		stui
		testui
		uiret

	Prediction history reset

		hreset

	Serialize instruction execution

		serialize

	TSX suspend load address tracking

<title>x86/insn: Use get_unaligned() instead of memcpy()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f96b4675839b66168f5a07bf964dde6c2f1c4885</id>
<content type='text'>
Use get_unaligned() instead of memcpy() to access potentially unaligned
memory, which, when accessed through a pointer, leads to undefined
behavior. get_unaligned() describes much better what is happening there
anyway even if memcpy() does the job.

In addition, since perf tool builds with -Werror, it would fire with:

  util/intel-pt-decoder/../../../arch/x86/lib/insn.c: In function '__insn_get_emulate_prefix':
  tools/include/../include/asm-generic/unaligned.h:10:15: error: packed attribute is unnecessary [-Werror=packed]
     10 |  const struct { type x; } __packed *__pptr = (typeof(__pptr))(ptr); \

because -Werror=packed would complain if the packed attribute would have
no effect on the layout of the structure.

In this case, that is intentional so disable the warning only for that
compilation unit.

That part is Reported-by: Stephen Rothwell &lt;sfr@canb.auug.org.au&gt;

No functional changes.

<content type='text'>
Don't perform unaligned loads in __get_next() and __peek_nbyte_next() as
these are forms of undefined behavior:

"A pointer to an object or incomplete type may be converted to a pointer
to a different object or incomplete type. If the resulting pointer
is not correctly aligned for the pointed-to type, the behavior is
undefined."

(from http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1256.pdf)

These problems were identified using the undefined behavior sanitizer
(ubsan) with the tools version of the code and perf test.
