kbuild: rust: keep Rust objects out of Clang LTO with inline helpersgrafted
Under `CONFIG_LTO_CLANG` + `CONFIG_RUST_INLINE_HELPERS`, one may hit `objtool` errors such as: vmlinux.o: error: objtool: _R..._3Gsp4boot+0xd6a: can't find jump dest instruction at .text._R..._3Gsp4boot+0x1dfd The reason is that in such builds, the Clang invocation that compiles the combined Rust plus helpers bitcode emits LLVM bitcode (again) -- the final code generation happens in the linker's LTO step, which the `-mllvm` trap options passed to Clang do not reach. This, in turn, means that unreachable traps are missing, and the impossible paths do not merely fallthrough to the next symbol, but past the end of their own section, since LTO builds place each function in its own section. Thus filter `CC_FLAGS_LTO` out of the Clang invocation, so that it always emits machine code directly, with the traps in place.

+ unless the dmesg_restrict sysctl is explicitly set to (1).
+

+ prompt "Allow /proc/pid/mem access override"
+ default PROC_MEM_FORCE_PTRACE
+ help
+ Traditionally /proc/pid/mem allows users to override memory
+ permissions for users like ptrace, assuming they have ptrace
+ capability.
+
+ This allows people to limit that - either never override, or
+ require actual active ptrace attachment (default).

+ bool "Traditional /proc/pid/mem behavior"
+ help
+ This allows /proc/pid/mem accesses to override memory mapping
+ permissions if you have ptrace access rights.
+
+config PROC_MEM_FORCE_PTRACE
+ bool "Require active ptrace() use for access override"
+ help
+ This allows /proc/pid/mem accesses to override memory mapping
+ permissions for active ptracers like gdb.
+

+ depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_MSEAL_SYSTEM_MAPPINGS
+ depends on !CHECKPOINT_RESTORE
+ help
+ Apply mseal on system mappings.
+ The system mappings includes vdso, vvar, vvar_vclock,
+ vectors (arm compat-mode), sigpage (arm compat-mode), uprobes.
+
+ A 64-bit kernel is required for the memory sealing feature.
+ No specific hardware features from the CPU are needed.
+
+ WARNING: This feature breaks programs which rely on relocating
+ or unmapping system mappings. Known broken software at the time
+ of writing includes CHECKPOINT_RESTORE, UML, gVisor, rr. Therefore
+ this config can't be enabled universally.

+ For complete descriptions of memory sealing, please see

+
+config SECURITY
+ bool "Enable different security models"
+ depends on SYSFS
+ depends on MULTIUSER
+ help
+ This allows you to choose different security modules to be
+ configured into your kernel.
+
+ If this option is not selected, the default Linux security
+ model will be used.
+
+ If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.

+config SECURITYFS
+ bool "Enable the securityfs filesystem"

+ This will build the securityfs filesystem. It is currently used by
+ various security modules (AppArmor, IMA, SafeSetID, TOMOYO, TPM).
+
+ If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
+
+config SECURITY_NETWORK
+ bool "Socket and Networking Security Hooks"
+ depends on SECURITY
+ help
+ This enables the socket and networking security hooks.
+ If enabled, a security module can use these hooks to
+ implement socket and networking access controls.
+ If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
+
+config SECURITY_INFINIBAND
+ bool "Infiniband Security Hooks"
+ depends on SECURITY && INFINIBAND
+ help
+ This enables the Infiniband security hooks.
+ If enabled, a security module can use these hooks to
+ implement Infiniband access controls.
+ If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
+
+config SECURITY_NETWORK_XFRM
+ bool "XFRM (IPSec) Networking Security Hooks"
+ depends on XFRM && SECURITY_NETWORK
+ help
+ This enables the XFRM (IPSec) networking security hooks.
+ If enabled, a security module can use these hooks to
+ implement per-packet access controls based on labels
+ derived from IPSec policy. Non-IPSec communications are
+ designated as unlabelled, and only sockets authorized
+ to communicate unlabelled data can send without using
+ IPSec.
+ If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
+
+config SECURITY_PATH
+ bool "Security hooks for pathname based access control"
+ depends on SECURITY
+ help
+ This enables the security hooks for pathname based access control.
+ If enabled, a security module can use these hooks to
+ implement pathname based access controls.
+ If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
+
+config INTEL_TXT
+ bool "Enable Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology (Intel(R) TXT)"
+ depends on HAVE_INTEL_TXT
+ help
+ This option enables support for booting the kernel with the
+ Trusted Boot (tboot) module. This will utilize
+ Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology to perform a measured launch
+ of the kernel. If the system does not support Intel(R) TXT, this
+ will have no effect.
+
+ Intel TXT will provide higher assurance of system configuration and
+ initial state as well as data reset protection. This is used to
+ create a robust initial kernel measurement and verification, which
+ helps to ensure that kernel security mechanisms are functioning
+ correctly. This level of protection requires a root of trust outside
+ of the kernel itself.
+
+ Intel TXT also helps solve real end user concerns about having
+ confidence that their hardware is running the VMM or kernel that
+ it was configured with, especially since they may be responsible for
+ providing such assurances to VMs and services running on it.
+
+ See <https://www.intel.com/technology/security/> for more information
+ about Intel(R) TXT.
+ See <http://tboot.sourceforge.net> for more information about tboot.
+ See Documentation/arch/x86/intel_txt.rst for a description of how to enable
+ Intel TXT support in a kernel boot.
+
+ If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N.
+
+config LSM_MMAP_MIN_ADDR
+ int "Low address space for LSM to protect from user allocation"
+ depends on SECURITY && SECURITY_SELINUX
+ default 32768 if ARM || (ARM64 && COMPAT)
+ default 65536
+ help
+ This is the portion of low virtual memory which should be protected
+ from userspace allocation. Keeping a user from writing to low pages
+ can help reduce the impact of kernel NULL pointer bugs.
+
+ For most ia64, ppc64 and x86 users with lots of address space
+ a value of 65536 is reasonable and should cause no problems.
+ On arm and other archs it should not be higher than 32768.
+ Programs which use vm86 functionality or have some need to map
+ this low address space will need the permission specific to the
+ systems running LSM.
+
+config STATIC_USERMODEHELPER
+ bool "Force all usermode helper calls through a single binary"
+ help
+ By default, the kernel can call many different userspace
+ binary programs through the "usermode helper" kernel
+ interface. Some of these binaries are statically defined
+ either in the kernel code itself, or as a kernel configuration
+ option. However, some of these are dynamically created at
+ runtime, or can be modified after the kernel has started up.
+ To provide an additional layer of security, route all of these
+ calls through a single executable that can not have its name
+ changed.
+
+ Note, it is up to this single binary to then call the relevant
+ "real" usermode helper binary, based on the first argument
+ passed to it. If desired, this program can filter and pick
+ and choose what real programs are called.
+
+ If you wish for all usermode helper programs are to be
+ disabled, choose this option and then set
+ STATIC_USERMODEHELPER_PATH to an empty string.
+
+config STATIC_USERMODEHELPER_PATH
+ string "Path to the static usermode helper binary"
+ depends on STATIC_USERMODEHELPER
+ default "/sbin/usermode-helper"
+ help
+ The binary called by the kernel when any usermode helper
+ program is wish to be run. The "real" application's name will
+ be in the first argument passed to this program on the command
+ line.

+ If you wish for all usermode helper programs to be disabled,
+ specify an empty string here (i.e. "").
