Clang emits a asan.module_ctor constructor to each object file
when KASAN is enabled, and these functions are indirectly called
in do_ctors. With CONFIG_CFI_CLANG, the compiler also emits a CFI
type hash before each address-taken global function so they can
pass indirect call checks.

However, in commit 0c3e806ec0f9 ("x86/cfi: Add boot time hash
randomization"), x86 implemented boot time hash randomization,
which relies on the .cfi_sites section generated by objtool. As
objtool is run against vmlinux.o instead of individual object
files with X86_KERNEL_IBT (enabled by default), CFI types in
object files that are not part of vmlinux.o end up not being
included in .cfi_sites, and thus won't get randomized and trip
CFI when called.

Only .vmlinux.export.o and init/version-timestamp.o are linked
into vmlinux separately from vmlinux.o. As these files don't
contain any functions, disable KASAN for both of them to avoid
breaking hash randomization.

<title>gcc: disable -Warray-bounds for gcc-11 too</title>

We had already disabled this warning for gcc-12 due to bugs in the value
range analysis, but it turns out we end up having some similar problems
with gcc-11.3 too, so let's disable it there too.

Older gcc versions end up being increasingly less relevant, and
hopefully clang and newer version of gcc (ie gcc-13) end up working
reliably enough that we still get the build coverage even when we
disable this for some versions.

Move poking_init() up a bunch; specifically move it right after
mm_init() which is right before ftrace_init().

This will allow simplifying ftrace text poking which currently has
a bunch of exceptions for early boot.

Pull kernel hardening updates from Kees Cook:

 - Convert flexible array members, fix -Wstringop-overflow warnings, and
   fix KCFI function type mismatches that went ignored by maintainers
   (Gustavo A. R. Silva, Nathan Chancellor, Kees Cook)

 - Remove the remaining side-effect users of ksize() by converting
   dma-buf, btrfs, and coredump to using kmalloc_size_roundup(), add
   more __alloc_size attributes, and introduce full testing of all
   allocator functions. Finally remove the ksize() side-effect so that
   each allocation-aware checker can finally behave without exceptions

 - Introduce oops_limit (default 10,000) and warn_limit (default off) to
   provide greater granularity of control for panic_on_oops and
   panic_on_warn (Jann Horn, Kees Cook)

 - Introduce overflows_type() and castable_to_type() helpers for cleaner
   overflow checking

 - Improve code generation for strscpy() and update str*() kern-doc

 - Convert strscpy and sigphash tests to KUnit, and expand memcpy tests

 - Always use a non-NULL argument for prepare_kernel_cred()

 - Disable structleak plugin in FORTIFY KUnit test (Anders Roxell)

 - Adjust orphan linker section checking to respect CONFIG_WERROR (Xin
   Li)

 - Make sure siginfo is cleared for forced SIGKILL (haifeng.xu)

 - Fix um vs FORTIFY warnings for always-NULL arguments

Pull modules updates from Luis Chamberlain:
 "Tux gets for xmas an improvement to the average lookup performance of
  kallsyms_lookup_name() by 715x thanks to the work by Zhen Lei, which
  upgraded our old implementation from being O(n) to O(log(n)), while
  also retaining the old implementation support on /proc/kallsyms.

  The only penalty was increasing the memory footprint by 3 *
  kallsyms_num_syms. Folks who want to improve this further now also
  have a dedicated selftest facility through KALLSYMS_SELFTEST.

  Stephen Boyd added zstd in-kernel decompression support, but the only
  users of this would be folks using the load-pin LSM because otherwise
  we do module decompression in userspace.

  The only other thing with mentioning is a minor boot time optimization
  by Rasmus Villemoes which deferes param_sysfs_init() to late init. The
  rest is cleanups and minor fixes"
