    When System.map was generated, the kernel used mksysmap to filter the
    kernel symbols, we need to filter "L0" symbols in LoongArch architecture.

    $ cat System.map | grep L0
    9000000000221540 t L0

    The L0 symbol exists in System.map, but not in .tmp_System.map. When
    "cmp -s System.map .tmp_System.map" will show "Inconsistent kallsyms
    data" error message in link-vmlinux.sh script.

  • Commit b775fbf532dc ("kbuild: Add skip_encoding_btf_enum64 option to

    properly. Fix that up.

  • New pahole (version 1.24) generates by default new BTF_KIND_ENUM64 BTF tag,
    which is not supported by stable kernel.

    As a result the kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF option will fail to
    compile with following error:

    BTFIDS vmlinux
    FAILED: load BTF from vmlinux: Invalid argument

    New pahole provides --skip_encoding_btf_enum64 option to skip BTF_KIND_ENUM64
    generation and produce BTF supported by stable kernel.

    Adding this option to scripts/pahole-flags.sh.

    This change does not have equivalent commit in linus tree, because linus tree
    has support for BTF_KIND_ENUM64 tag, so it does not need to be disabled.

  • commit 23a0cb8e3225122496bfa79172005c587c2d64bf upstream.

    When building an external module, if users don't need to separate the
    compilation output and source code, they run the following command:
    "make -C $(LINUX_SRC_DIR) M=$(PWD)". At this point, "$(KBUILD_EXTMOD)"
    and "$(src)" are the same.

    If they need to separate them, they run "make -C $(KERNEL_SRC_DIR)
    O=$(KERNEL_OUT_DIR) M=$(OUT_DIR) src=$(PWD)". Before running the
    command, they need to copy "Kbuild" or "Makefile" to "$(OUT_DIR)" to
    prevent compilation failure.

    So the kernel should change the included path to avoid the copy operation.

    In the kernel image vmlinux.lds.S linker scripts the .altinstructions
    and __bug_table sections are 4- or 8-byte aligned because they hold 32-
    and/or 64-bit values.

    Most architectures use altinstructions and BUG() or WARN() in modules as
    well, but in the module linker script (module.lds.S) those sections are
    currently missing. As consequence the linker will store their content
    byte-aligned by default, which then can lead to unnecessary unaligned
    memory accesses by the CPU when those tables are processed at runtime.

    Usually unaligned memory accesses are unnoticed, because either the
    hardware (as on x86 CPUs) or in-kernel exception handlers (e.g. on
    parisc or sparc) emulate and fix them up at runtime. Nevertheless, such
    unaligned accesses introduce a performance penalty and can even crash
    the kernel if there is a bug in the unalignment exception handlers
    (which happened once to me on the parisc architecture and which is why I
    noticed that issue at all).

    This patch fixes a non-critical issue and might be backported at any time.
    It's trivial and shouldn't introduce any regression because it simply
    tells the linker to use a different (8-byte alignment) for those
    sections by default.

    Commit 36d4b36b6959 ("lib/nodemask: inline next_node_in() and
    node_random()") refactored some code by moving node_random() from
    lib/nodemask.c to include/linux/nodemask.h, thus requiring nodemask.h to
    include random.h, which conditionally defines add_latent_entropy()
    depending on whether the macro LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN is defined.

    This broke the build on powerpc, where nodemask.h is indirectly included
    in arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.c, part of the early boot machinery that
    is excluded from the latent entropy plugin using
    DISABLE_LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN. It turns out that while we add a gcc flag
    to disable the actual plugin, we don't undefine LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN.

    This leads to the following:

    The type atomic_long_t can have size 4 or 8 bytes, depending on
    CONFIG_64BIT; it's only content, the field 'counter', is either an
    int or a s64 value.

    Current code incorrectly uses the fixed size utils.read_u64() to
    read the field 'counter' inside atomic_long_t.

    On 32 bits architectures reading the last element 'tail_id' of the
    struct prb_desc_ring:
    struct prb_desc_ring {
    ...
    atomic_long_t tail_id;
    };
    causes the utils.read_u64() to access outside the boundary of the
    struct and the gdb command 'lx-dmesg' exits with error:
    Python Exception : index out of range
    Error occurred in Python: index out of range

    Query the really used atomic_long_t counter type size.

    For the gdb command lx-dmesg, the entire descriptor, info, and text
    data regions are read into memory before printing any records. For
    large kernel log buffers, this not only causes a huge delay before
    seeing any records, but it may also lead to python errors of too
    much memory allocation.

    Rather than reading in all these regions in advance, read them as
    needed and only read the regions for the particular record that is
    being printed.

    The gdb macro "dmesg" in Documentation/admin-guide/kdump/gdbmacros.txt
    already prints out the kernel log buffer like this.

    The exception table entries contain the instruction address, the fixup
    address and the handler address. All addresses are relative. Storing the
    handler address has a few downsides:

    1) Most handlers need to be exported

    2) Handlers can be defined everywhere and there is no overview about the
    handler types

    3) MCE needs to check the handler type to decide whether an in kernel #MC
    can be recovered. The functionality of the handler itself is not in any
    way special, but for these checks there need to be separate functions
    which in the worst case have to be exported.

    Some of these 'recoverable' exception fixups are pretty obscure and
    just reuse some other handler to spare code. That obfuscates e.g. the
    #MC safe copy functions. Cleaning that up would require more handlers
    and exports

    Rework the exception fixup mechanics by storing a fixup type number instead
    of the handler address and invoke the proper handler for each fixup
    type. Also teach the extable sort to leave the type field alone.

    This makes most handlers static except for special cases like the MCE
    MSR fixup and the BPF fixup. This allows to add more types for cleaning up
    the obscure places without adding more handler code and exports.

    There is a marginal code size reduction for a production config and it
    removes _eight_ exported symbols.

  • commit a09a6e2399ba0595c3042b3164f3ca68a3cff33e upstream.

    Since entry asm is tricky, add a validation pass that ensures the
    retbleed mitigation has been done before the first actual RET
    instruction.

    Entry points are those that either have UNWIND_HINT_ENTRY, which acts
    as UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY but marks the instruction as an entry point, or
    those that have UWIND_HINT_IRET_REGS at +0.

    This is basically a variant of validate_branch() that is
    intra-function and it will simply follow all branches from marked
    entry points and ensures that all paths lead to ANNOTATE_UNRET_END.

    If a path hits RET or an indirection the path is a fail and will be
    reported.

    There are 3 ANNOTATE_UNRET_END instances:

    - UNTRAIN_RET itself
    - exception from-kernel; this path doesn't need UNTRAIN_RET
    - all early exceptions; these also don't need UNTRAIN_RET

    There are many places where kernel code wants to have several different
    typed trailing flexible arrays. This would normally be done with multiple
    flexible arrays in a union, but since GCC and Clang don't (on the surface)
    allow this, there have been many open-coded workarounds, usually involving
    neighboring 0-element arrays at the end of a structure. For example,
    instead of something like this:

    struct thing {
    ...
    union {
    struct type1 foo[];
    struct type2 bar[];
    };
    };

    code works around the compiler with:

    struct thing {
    ...
    struct type1 foo[0];
    struct type2 bar[];
    };

    Another case is when a flexible array is wanted as the single member
    within a struct (which itself is usually in a union). For example, this
    would be worked around as:

    union many {
    ...
    struct {
    struct type3 baz[0];
    };
    };

    These kinds of work-arounds cause problems with size checks against such
    zero-element arrays (for example when building with -Warray-bounds and
    -Wzero-length-bounds, and with the coming FORTIFY_SOURCE improvements),
    so they must all be converted to "real" flexible arrays, avoiding warnings
    like this:

    fs/hpfs/anode.c: In function 'hpfs_add_sector_to_btree':
    fs/hpfs/anode.c:209:27: warning: array subscript 0 is outside the bounds of an interior zero-length array 'struct bplus_internal_node[0]' [-Wzero-length-bounds]

    However, it _is_ entirely possible to have one or more flexible arrays
    in a struct or union: it just has to be in another struct. And since it
    cannot be alone in a struct, such a struct must have at least 1 other
    named member -- but that member can be zero sized. Wrap all this nonsense
    into the new DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() in support of having flexible arrays
    in unions (or alone in a struct).

    As with struct_group(), since this is needed in UAPI headers as well,
    implement the core there, with a non-UAPI wrapper.

    Additionally update kernel-doc to understand its existence.

    GCC and Clang can use the "alloc_size" attribute to better inform the
    results of __builtin_object_size() (for compile-time constant values).
    Clang can additionally use alloc_size to inform the results of
    __builtin_dynamic_object_size() (for run-time values).

    Because GCC sees the frequent use of struct_size() as an allocator size
    argument, and notices it can return SIZE_MAX (the overflow indication),
    it complains about these call sites overflowing (since SIZE_MAX is
    greater than the default -Walloc-size-larger-than=PTRDIFF_MAX). This
    isn't helpful since we already know a SIZE_MAX will be caught at
    run-time (this was an intentional design). To deal with this, we must
    disable this check as it is both a false positive and redundant. (Clang
    does not have this warning option.)

    Unfortunately, just checking the -Wno-alloc-size-larger-than is not
    sufficient to make the __alloc_size attribute behave correctly under
    older GCC versions. The attribute itself must be disabled in those
    situations too, as there appears to be no way to reliably silence the
    SIZE_MAX constant expression cases for GCC versions less than 9.1:

  • [ Upstream commit 50d7bd38c3aafc4749e05e8d7fcb616979143602 ]

    Kernel code has a regular need to describe groups of members within a
    structure usually when they need to be copied or initialized separately
    from the rest of the surrounding structure. The generally accepted design
    pattern in C is to use a named sub-struct:

    struct foo {
    int one;
    struct {
    int two;
    int three, four;
    } thing;
    int five;
    };

    This would allow for traditional references and sizing:

    memcpy(&dst.thing, &src.thing, sizeof(dst.thing));

    However, doing this would mean that referencing struct members enclosed
    by such named structs would always require including the sub-struct name
    in identifiers:

    do_something(dst.thing.three);

    This has tended to be quite inflexible, especially when such groupings
    need to be added to established code which causes huge naming churn.
    Three workarounds exist in the kernel for this problem, and each have
    other negative properties.

    To avoid the naming churn, there is a design pattern of adding macro
    aliases for the named struct:

    #define f_three thing.three

    This ends up polluting the global namespace, and makes it difficult to
    search for identifiers.

    Another common work-around in kernel code avoids the pollution by avoiding
    the named struct entirely, instead identifying the group's boundaries using
    either a pair of empty anonymous structs of a pair of zero-element arrays:

    struct foo {
    int one;
    struct { } start;
    int two;
    int three, four;
    struct { } finish;
    int five;
    };

    struct foo {
    int one;
    int start[0];
    int two;
    int three, four;
    int finish[0];
    int five;
    };

    This allows code to avoid needing to use a sub-struct named for member
    references within the surrounding structure, but loses the benefits of
    being able to actually use such a struct, making it rather fragile. Using
    these requires open-coded calculation of sizes and offsets. The efforts
    made to avoid common mistakes include lots of comments, or adding various
    BUILD_BUG_ON()s. Such code is left with no way for the compiler to reason
    about the boundaries (e.g. the "start" object looks like it's 0 bytes
    in length), making bounds checking depend on open-coded calculations:

    if (length > offsetof(struct foo, finish) -
    offsetof(struct foo, start))
    return -EINVAL;
    memcpy(&dst.start, &src.start, offsetof(struct foo, finish) -
    offsetof(struct foo, start));

    However, the vast majority of places in the kernel that operate on
    groups of members do so without any identification of the grouping,
    relying either on comments or implicit knowledge of the struct contents,
    which is even harder for the compiler to reason about, and results in
    even more fragile manual sizing, usually depending on member locations
    outside of the region (e.g. to copy "two" and "three", use the start of
    "four" to find the size):

    BUILD_BUG_ON((offsetof(struct foo, four) <
    offsetof(struct foo, two)) ||
    (offsetof(struct foo, four) <
    offsetof(struct foo, three));
    if (length > offsetof(struct foo, four) -
    offsetof(struct foo, two))
    return -EINVAL;
    memcpy(&dst.two, &src.two, length);

    In order to have a regular programmatic way to describe a struct
    region that can be used for references and sizing, can be examined for
    bounds checking, avoids forcing the use of intermediate identifiers,
    and avoids polluting the global namespace, introduce the struct_group()
    macro. This macro wraps the member declarations to create an anonymous
    union of an anonymous struct (no intermediate name) and a named struct
    (for references and sizing):

    struct foo {
    int one;
    struct_group(thing,
    int two;
    int three, four;
    );
    int five;
    };

    if (length > sizeof(src.thing))
    return -EINVAL;
    memcpy(&dst.thing, &src.thing, length);
    do_something(dst.three);

    There are some rare cases where the resulting struct_group() needs
    attributes added, so struct_group_attr() is also introduced to allow
    for specifying struct attributes (e.g. __align(x) or __packed).
    Additionally, there are places where such declarations would like to
    have the struct be tagged, so struct_group_tagged() is added.

    Given there is a need for a handful of UAPI uses too, the underlying
    __struct_group() macro has been defined in UAPI so it can be used there
    too.

    To avoid confusing scripts/kernel-doc, hide the macro from its struct
    parsing.

    If a function lives in a section other than .text, but .text also exists
    in the object, faddr2line may wrongly assume .text. This can result in
    comically wrong output. For example:

    $ scripts/faddr2line vmlinux.o enter_from_user_mode+0x1c
    enter_from_user_mode+0x1c/0x30:
    find_next_bit at /home/jpoimboe/git/linux/./include/linux/find.h:40
    (inlined by) perf_clear_dirty_counters at /home/jpoimboe/git/linux/arch/x86/events/core.c:2504

    Fix it by passing the section name to addr2line, unless the object file
    is vmlinux, in which case the symbol table uses absolute addresses.

    The return value of is_arm_mapping_symbol() is unpredictable when "$"
    is passed in.

    strchr(3) says:
    The strchr() and strrchr() functions return a pointer to the matched
    character or NULL if the character is not found. The terminating null
    byte is considered part of the string, so that if c is specified as
    '\0', these functions return a pointer to the terminator.

    When str[1] is '\0', strchr("axtd", str[1]) is not NULL, and str[2] is
    referenced (i.e. buffer overrun).

    Test code
    ---------

    char str1[] = "abc";
    char str2[] = "ab";

    strcpy(str1, "$");
    strcpy(str2, "$");

    printf("test1: %d\n", is_arm_mapping_symbol(str1));
    printf("test2: %d\n", is_arm_mapping_symbol(str2));

    With the `-z unique-symbol` linker flag or any similar mechanism,
    it is possible to trigger the following:

    ERROR: modpost: "param_set_uint.0" [vmlinux] is a static EXPORT_SYMBOL

    The reason is that for now the condition from remove_dot():

    if (m && (s[n + m] == '.' || s[n + m] == 0))

    which was designed to test if it's a dot or a '\0' after the suffix
    is never satisfied.
    This is due to that `s[n + m]` always points to the last digit of a
    numeric suffix, not on the symbol next to it (from a custom debug
    print added to modpost):

    param_set_uint.0, s[n + m] is '0', s[n + m + 1] is '\0'

    So it's off-by-one and was like that since 2014.

    Fix this for the sake of any potential upcoming features, but don't
    bother stable-backporting, as it's well hidden -- apart from that
    LD flag, it can be triggered only with GCC LTO which never landed
    upstream.

    There have been some recent reports of faddr2line failures:

    $ scripts/faddr2line sound/soundcore.ko sound_devnode+0x5/0x35
    bad symbol size: base: 0x0000000000000000 end: 0x0000000000000000

    bad symbol size: base: 0x0000000000005fe0 end: 0x0000000000005fe0

    The problem is that faddr2line is based on 'nm', which has a major
    limitation: it doesn't know how to distinguish between different text
    sections. So if an offset exists in multiple text sections in the
    object, it may fail.

    Rewrite faddr2line to be section-aware, by basing it on readelf.

    It's built tested on x86_64-allyesconfig using GCC-12 and GCC-11.

    Maintenance overhead of this should be fairly low due to objtool

    Size overhead of all these additional int3 instructions comes to:

  • commit c40160f2998c897231f8454bf797558d30a20375 upstream.

    While the latent entropy plugin mostly doesn't derive entropy from
    get_random_const() for measuring the call graph, when __latent_entropy is
    applied to a constant, then it's initialized statically to output from
    get_random_const(). In that case, this data is derived from a 64-bit
    seed, which means a buffer of 512 bits doesn't really have that amount
    of compile-time entropy.

    This patch fixes that shortcoming by just buffering chunks of
    /dev/urandom output and doling it out as requested.

    At the same time, it's important that we don't break the use of
    -frandom-seed, for people who want the runtime benefits of the latent
    entropy plugin, while still having compile-time determinism. In that
    case, we detect whether gcc's set_random_seed() has been called by
    making a call to get_random_seed(noinit=true) in the plugin init
    function, which is called after set_random_seed() is called but before
    anything that calls get_random_seed(noinit=false), and seeing if it's
    zero or not. If it's not zero, we're in deterministic mode, and so we
    just generate numbers with a basic xorshift prng.

    Note that we don't detect if -frandom-seed is being used using the
    documented local_tick variable, because it's assigned via:
    local_tick = (unsigned) tv.tv_sec * 1000 + tv.tv_usec / 1000;
    which may well overflow and become -1 on its own, and so isn't
    reliable: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=105171

    median (64), and std deviation (575) bytes of used entropy for a

    Arnd reports that on 32-bit architectures, the fallbacks for
    atomic64_read_acquire() and atomic64_set_release() are broken as they
    use smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release() respectively, which do
    not work on types larger than the native word size.

    Since those contain compiletime_assert_atomic_type(), any attempt to use
    those fallbacks will result in a build-time error. e.g. with the
    following added to arch/arm/kernel/setup.c:

    | void test_atomic64(atomic64_t *v)
    | {
    | atomic64_set_release(v, 5);
    | atomic64_read_acquire(v);
    | }

    The compiler will complain as follows:

    Fix this by only using smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release() for
    native atomic types, and otherwise falling back to the regular barriers
    necessary for acquire/release semantics, as we do in the more generic
    acquire and release fallbacks.

    Since the fallback templates are used to generate the atomic64_*() and
    atomic_*() operations, the __native_word() check is added to both. For
    the atomic_*() operations, which are always 32-bit, the __native_word()
    check is redundant but not harmful, as it is always true.

    For the example above this works as expected on 32-bit, e.g. for arm
    multi_v7_defconfig:

    | :
    | push {r4, r5}
    | dmb ish
    | pldw [r0]
    | mov r2, #5
    | mov r3, #0
    | ldrexd r4, [r0]
    | strexd r4, r2, [r0]
    | teq r4, #0
    | bne 484
    | ldrexd r2, [r0]
    | dmb ish
    | pop {r4, r5}
    | bx lr

    ... and also on 64-bit, e.g. for arm64 defconfig:

    | :
    | bti c
    | paciasp
    | mov x1, #0x5
    | stlr x1, [x0]
    | ldar x0, [x0]
    | autiasp
    | ret

    Since STRING_CST may not be NUL terminated, strncmp() was used for check
    for equality. However, this may lead to mismatches for longer section
    names where the start matches the tested-for string. Test for exact
    equality by checking for the presences of NUL termination.

    When the KCONFIG_AUTOCONFIG is specified (e.g. export \
    KCONFIG_AUTOCONFIG=output/config/auto.conf), the directory of
    include/config/ will not be created, so kconfig can't create deps
    files in it and auto.conf can't be generated.

    The 'shell' built-in only returns the first 256 bytes of the command's
    output. In some cases, 'shell' is used to return a path; by bumping up
    the buffer size to 4096 this lets us capture up to PATH_MAX.

    The specific case where I ran into this was due to commit 1e860048c53e
    ("gcc-plugins: simplify GCC plugin-dev capability test"). After this
    change, we now use `$(shell,$(CC) -print-file-name=plugin)` to return
    a path; if the gcc path is particularly long, then the path ends up
    truncated at the 256 byte mark, which makes the HAVE_GCC_PLUGINS
    depends test always fail.

    -Wunaligned-access is a new warning in clang that is default enabled for
    arm and arm64 under certain circumstances within the clang frontend (see
    LLVM commit below). On v5.17-rc2, an ARCH=arm allmodconfig build shows
    1284 total/70 unique instances of this warning (most of the instances
    are in header files), which is quite noisy.

    To keep a normal build green through CONFIG_WERROR, only show this
    warning with W=1, which will allow automated build systems to catch new
    instances of the warning so that the total number can be driven down to
    zero eventually since catching unaligned accesses at compile time would
    be generally useful.
