Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar:
- The biggest change is the new option to automatically fail the build
on objtool warnings: CONFIG_OBJTOOL_WERROR.
While there are no currently known unfixed false positives left, such
an expansion in the severity of objtool warnings inevitably creates a
risk of build failures, so it's disabled by default and depends on
!COMPILE_TEST, so it shouldn't be enabled on
allyesconfig/allmodconfig builds and won't be forced on people who
just accept build-time defaults in 'make oldconfig'.
While the option is strongly recommended, only people who enable it
explicitly should see it.

Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
- Move the TINY_RCU kvfree_rcu() implementation from RCU to SLAB
subsystem and cleanup its integration (Vlastimil Babka)
Following the move of the TREE_RCU batching kvfree_rcu()
implementation in 6.14, move also the simpler TINY_RCU variant.
Refactor the #ifdef guards so that the simple implementation is also
used with SLUB_TINY.
Remove the need for RCU to recognize fake callback function pointers
(__is_kvfree_rcu_offset()) when handling call_rcu() by implementing a
callback that calculates the object's address from the embedded
rcu_head address without knowing its offset.
- Improve kmalloc cache randomization in kvmalloc (GONG Ruiqi)
Due to an extra layer of function call, all kvmalloc() allocations
used the same set of random caches. Thanks to moving the kvmalloc()
implementation to slub.c, this is improved and randomization now
works for kvmalloc.

CONFIG_TRACE_BRANCH_PROFILING inserts a call to ftrace_likely_update()
for each use of likely() or unlikely(). That breaks noinstr rules if
the affected function is annotated as noinstr.
Disable branch profiling for files with noinstr functions. In addition
to some individual files, this also includes the entire arch/x86
subtree, as well as the kernel/entry, drivers/cpuidle, and drivers/idle
directories, all of which are noinstr-heavy.
Due to the nature of how sched binaries are built by combining multiple
.c files into one, branch profiling is disabled more broadly across the
sched code than would otherwise be needed.
This fixes many warnings like the following:
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: do_syscall_64+0x40: call to ftrace_likely_update() leaves .noinstr.text section

For more than a decade, CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG=y has been enabled
in all the major Linux distributions:
/boot/config-6.11.0-19-generic:CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG=y
The reason is that while originally CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG started
out as a debugging feature, over the years (decades ...) it has
grown various bits of statistics, instrumentation and
control knobs that are useful for sysadmin and general software
development purposes as well.
But within the kernel we still pretend that there's a choice,
and sometimes code that is seemingly 'debug only' creates overhead
that should be optimized in reality.
So make it all official and make CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG unconditional.
Now that all uses of CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG are removed from
the code by previous patches, remove the Kconfig option as well.

Objtool warnings can be indicative of crashes, broken live patching, or
even boot failures. Ignoring them is not recommended.
Add CONFIG_OBJTOOL_WERROR to upgrade objtool warnings to errors by
enabling the objtool --Werror option. Also set --backtrace to print the
branches leading up to the warning, which can help considerably when
debugging certain warnings.
To avoid breaking bots too badly for now, make it the default for real
world builds only (!COMPILE_TEST).

Slab pages now have a refcount of 0, so nobody should be trying to
manipulate the refcount on them. Doing so has little effect; the object
could be freed and reallocated to a different purpose, although the slab
itself would not be until the refcount was put making it behave rather
like TYPESAFE_BY_RCU.
Unfortunately, __iov_iter_get_pages_alloc() does take a refcount. Fix
that to not change the refcount, and make put_page() silently not change
the refcount. get_page() warns so that we can fix any other callers that
need to be changed.
Long-term, networking needs to stop taking a refcount on the pages that it
uses and rely on the caller to hold whatever references are necessary to
make the memory stable. In the medium term, more page types are going to
hav a zero refcount, so we'll want to move get_page() and put_page() out
of line.

Remove `pr_debug` calls which emit information already contained in
`pr_warn` calls that occur on test failure. This reduces unhelpful test
verbosity.
Note that a `pr_debug` removed from `_check_numbers_template` appears to
have been the only guard against silent false positives, but in fact
this condition is handled in `_test`; it is only possible for `n_args`
to be `0` in `_check_numbers_template` if the test explicitly expects it
*and* `vsscanf` returns `0`, matching the expectation.

Limit integer wrap-around mitigation to only the "size_t" type (for
now). Notably this covers all special functions/builtins that return
"size_t", like sizeof(). This remains an experimental feature and is
likely to be replaced with type annotations.

To make integer wrap-around mitigation actually useful, the associated
sanitizers must not instrument cases where the wrap-around is explicitly
defined (e.g. "-2UL"), being tested for (e.g. "if (a + b < a)"), or
where it has no impact on code flow (e.g. "while (var--)"). Enable
pattern exclusions for the integer wrap sanitizers.

Since we're going to approach integer overflow mitigation a type at a
time, we need to enable all of the associated sanitizers, and then opt
into types one at a time.
Rename the existing "signed wrap" sanitizer to just the entire topic area:
"integer wrap". Enable the implicit integer truncation sanitizers, with
required callbacks and tests.
Notably, this requires features (currently) only available in Clang,
so we can depend on the cc-option tests to determine availability
instead of doing version tests.

The byte initialization values used with -ftrivial-auto-var-init=pattern
(CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_PATTERN=y) depends on the compiler, architecture,
and byte position relative to struct member types. On i386 with Clang,
this includes the 0xFF value, which means it looks like nothing changes
between the leaf byte filling pass and the expected "stack wiping"
pass of the stackinit test.
Use the byte fill value of 0x99 instead, fixing the test for i386 Clang
builds.

Unfortunately, __builtin_dynamic_object_size() does not take into account
flexible array sizes, even when they are sized by __counted_by. As a
result, the size tests for the flexible arrays need to be separated to
get an accurate check of the compiler's behavior. While at it, fully test
sizeof, __struct_size (bdos(..., 0)), and __member_size (bdos(..., 1)).
I still think this is a compiler design issue, but there's not much to
be done about it currently beyond adjusting these tests. GCC and Clang
agree on this behavior at least. :)

Add a test_kfree_rcu_wq_destroy test to verify a kmem_cache_destroy()
from a workqueue context. The problem is that, before destroying any
cache the kvfree_rcu_barrier() is invoked to guarantee that in-flight
freed objects are flushed.
The _barrier() function queues and flushes its own internal workers
which might conflict with a workqueue type a kmem-cache gets destroyed
from.
One example is when a WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueue is flushing !WQ_MEM_RECLAIM
events which leads to a kernel splat. See the check_flush_dependency() in
the workqueue.c file.
If this test does not emits any kernel warning, it is passed.

Now that cpumask_next{_and}_wrap() is wired to generic
find_next_bit_wrap(), we can use it in cpumask_any{_and}_distribute().
This automatically makes the cpumask_*_distribute() functions to use
small_cpumask_bits instead of nr_cpumask_bits, which itself is a good
optimization.

The next patch aligns implementation of cpumask_next_wrap() with the
find_next_bit_wrap(), and it changes function signature.
To make the transition smooth, this patch deprecates current
implementation by adding an _old suffix. The following patches switch
current users to the new implementation one by one.
No functional changes were intended.
