The ld-version.sh script fails on some versions of awk with the
following error, resulting in build failures for MIPS:awk: scripts/ld-version.sh: line 4: regular expression compile failed (missing '(')
This is due to the regular expression ".*)", meant to strip off the
beginning of the ld version string up to the close bracket, however
brackets have a meaning in regular expressions, so lets escape it so
that awk doesn't expect a corresponding open bracket.Fixes: ccbef1674a15 ("Kbuild, lto: add ld-version and ld-ifversion ...")

Huge amounts of help from Andy Lutomirski and Borislav Petkov to
produce this. Andy provided the inspiration to add classes to the
exception table with a clever bit-squeezing trick, Boris pointed
out how much cleaner it would all be if we just had a new field.Linus Torvalds blessed the expansion with:
' I'd rather not be clever in order to save just a tiny amount of space
in the exception table, which isn't really criticial for anybody. 'The third field is another relative function pointer, this one to a
handler that executes the actions.We start out with three handlers:
1: Legacy - just jumps the to fixup IP
2: Fault - provide the trap number in %ax to the fixup code
3: Cleaned up legacy for the uaccess error hackSigned-off-by: Tony Luck

Long ago, Dave Jones complained about CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO:
"I don't use the auto config, because I end up filling up /boot unless
I go through and clean them out by hand every time I install a new one
(which I do probably a dozen or so times a day). Is there some easy
way to prune old builds I'm missing?"To which Bruce replied:
"I run this by hand every now and then. I'm probably doing it all wrong"And if he is running it wrong, then so am I - because I've been using
this script ever since. It is true that CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO easily
ends up filling your /boot partition if you don't clean up old versions
regularly, and this script helps make that easier.Checked with Bruce to see that it's fine to add this to the kernel
scripts. Maybe people will come up with enhancements, but more
importantly, this way I won't misplace this script whenever I install a
new machine and start doing custom kernels for it.Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

PowerPC64 uses the symbol .TOC. much as other targets use
_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_. It identifies the value of the GOT pointer (or in
powerpc parlance, the TOC pointer). Global offset tables are generally
local to an executable or shared library, or in the kernel, module. Thus
it does not make sense for a module to resolve a relocation against
.TOC. to the kernel's .TOC. value. A module has its own .TOC., and
indeed the powerpc64 module relocation processing ignores the kernel
value of .TOC. and instead calculates a module-local value.This patch removes code involved in exporting the kernel .TOC., tweaks
modpost to ignore an undefined .TOC., and the module loader to twiddle
the section symbol so that .TOC. isn't seen as undefined.Note that if the kernel was compiled with -msingle-pic-base then ELFv2
would not have function global entry code setting up r2. In that case
the module call stubs would need to be modified to set up r2 using the
kernel .TOC. value, requiring some of this code to be reinstated.mpe: Furthermore a change in binutils master (not yet released) causes
the current way we handle the TOC to no longer work when building with
MODVERSIONS=y and RELOCATABLE=n. The symptom is that modules can not be
loaded due to there being no version found for TOC.Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.16+

UBSAN uses compile-time instrumentation to catch undefined behavior
(UB). Compiler inserts code that perform certain kinds of checks before
operations that could cause UB. If check fails (i.e. UB detected)
__ubsan_handle_* function called to print error message.So the most of the work is done by compiler. This patch just implements
ubsan handlers printing errors.GCC has this capability since 4.9.x [1] (see -fsanitize=undefined
option and its suboptions).
However GCC 5.x has more checkers implemented [2].

Commit ac551828993e ("modpost: i2c aliases need no trailing wildcard")
removed the wildcard at the end of the I2C module aliases because I2C
devices have no IDs so the aliases are just arbitrary device names.This is also true for OF modaliases since a compatible string is used to
define a specific IP hardware block. So the modalias should match a
specific compatible string and not attempt to match a compatible string
whose name matches the beginning of another one.For example, the following driver module:
$ modinfo cros_ec_keyb | grep alias
alias: platform:cros-ec-keyb
alias: of:N*T*Cgoogle,cros-ec-keyb*will be tried to be loaded for an alias of:N*T*Cgoogle,cros-ec-keyb-v2
but there could be a different driver that supports the device for that
compatible string so it's better to remove the trailing wildcard for OF.Also, remove the word "always" from the add_wildcard() function comment
since that was carried from the time where a wildcard was always added
at the end of the module alias for all the devices.Signed-off-by: Javier Martinez Canillas

If a text section starts out with a data blob before the first
function start label, disassembly parsing doing in recordmcount.pl
gets confused on powerpc, leading to creation of corrupted module
objects.This was not a problem so far since the compiler would never create
such text sections. However, this has changed with a recent change
in GCC 6 to support distances of > 2GB between a function and its
assoicated TOC in the ELFv2 ABI, exposing this problem.There is already code in recordmcount.pl to handle such data blobs
on the sparc64 platform. This patch uses the same method to handle
those on powerpc as well.Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

Introduction of __smp barriers cleans up a bunch of duplicate code, but
it gives people an additional handle onto a "new" set of barriers - just
because they're prefixed with __* unfortunately doesn't stop anyone from
using it (as happened with other arch stuff before.)Add a checkpatch test so it will trigger a warning.

Pull MIPS fixes from Ralf Baechle:
"This is the final pull request for MIPS for 4.4. It fixes:- scripts/ld-version.sh parsing of ld version numbers that contain
large numbers as components.
- fix parsing of version numbers as used by Fedora's ld.Currently scripts/ld-version.sh is only being used by MIPS"
[ This obviously missed 4.4, so getting merged now in the merge window
for 4.5 instead ]* 'upstream' of git://git.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/ralf/upstream-linus:

Fix ld-version.sh to handle large 3rd version part -
Unsigned expressions cannot be lesser than zero. Presence of comparisons
'unsigned (|>=) 0' often indicates a bug, usually wrong type of variable.
The patch beside finding such comparisons tries to eliminate false positives,
mainly by bypassing range checks.gcc can detect such comparisons also using -Wtype-limits switch, but it warns
also in correct cases, making too much noise.Signed-off-by: Andrzej Hajda

Ideally, a kernel compile with W=1 enabled should complete cleanly;
however, when we run one currently we are presented with ~25k warnings.
'sign-compare' accounts for ~22k of those ~25k.In this patch we're demoting 'sign-compare' warnings to W=2, with a view
to fixing the remaining 3k W=1 warnings required for a clean build.Arnd adds:
"As per our discussion, I'd add that this was inadvertedly introduced
by Behan when he moved the clang specific warnings into an ifdef block
and did not notice that -Wsign-compare was interpreted by both gcc
and clang.Earlier, it was introduced in just the same way by Jan-Simon as part
of 3d3d6b847420 ("kbuild: LLVMLinux: Adapt warnings for compilation
with clang")."Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann

On Debian stable (qt-4.8.6) 'make xconfig' intermittently fails due to
qconf segfaulting at exit time in QXcbEventReader. The cause of this is
destructors on the heap objects never being called, so fix this by
properly deleting the heap objects before exit.Signed-off-by: Chris Bainbridge

On Fedora 23, ld --version outputs:
GNU ld version 2.25-15.fc23But ld-version.sh fails to parse this, so e.g. mips build fails to
enable VDSO, printing a warning that binutils >= 2.24 is required.To fix, teach ld-version to parse this format.

The emacs rules were constantly lagging behind the exuberant ones. Use a
single set of rules for both, to make the script easier to maintain.
The language understood by both tools is basic regular expression with
some limitations, which are documented in a comment. To be able to store
the rules in an array and easily iterate over it, the script requires
bash now. In the exuberant case, the change fixes some false matches in
and also some too greedy matches in the arguments
of the DECLARE_*/DEFINE_* macros. In the emacs case, several previously
not working rules are matching now. Tested with these versions of the
tools:Exuberant Ctags 5.8, Copyright (C) 1996-2009 Darren Hiebert

We are not indexing the userspace tools, so the rules only match some
false positives in the kernel code.Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

The defconfig files are in predictable locations, so there is no need to
index them. Plus, the script was only looking for files named
'defconfig', which only works on a few architectures nowadays.Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

Apparently, ctags applies the rules before deleting comments:
ctags: Warning: include/linux/completion.h:22: null expansion of name pattern "\2"
Work around this particular case by requiring the group to contain at
least one character. Leave the other patters as they are, until a better
solution is found.Signed-off-by: Michal Marek
-
This allows to apply the same patters to both source and header files.
The effect is mostly visible in the case of DECLARE_BITMAP, but there
are small gains all over the place. There is also lots of random changes
in the diff, I believe this is simply because there are still lots of
unexpanded macros in the code and the C and C++ parsers fail and recover
at different points. Also, qconf.h is parsed as C, but that's a
negligible regression.Signed-off-by: Michal Marek
