[ Upstream commit 46e152186cd89d940b26726fff11eb3f4935b45a ]

The copy_to_user() function returns the number of bytes remaining to be
copied, but we want to return -EFAULT if the copy doesn't complete.

fs/dax.c uses copy_user_page() but ARC does not provide that interface,
resulting in a build error.

Provide copy_user_page() in &lt;asm/page.h&gt;.

../fs/dax.c: In function 'copy_cow_page_dax':
../fs/dax.c:702:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'copy_user_page'; did you mean 'copy_to_user_page'? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

<title>ARC: build: move symlink creation to arch/arc/Makefile to avoid race</title>

[ Upstream commit c5e6ae563c802c4d828d42e134af64004db2e58c ]

If you run 'make uImage uImage.gz' with the parallel option, uImage.gz
will be created by two threads simultaneously.

This is because arch/arc/Makefile does not specify the dependency
between uImage and uImage.gz. Hence, GNU Make assumes they can be
built in parallel. One thread descends into arch/arc/boot/ to create
uImage, and another to create uImage.gz.

Please notice the same log is displayed twice in the following steps:

  $ export CROSS_COMPILE=&lt;your-arc-compiler-prefix&gt;
  $ make -s ARCH=arc defconfig
  $ make -j$(nproc) ARCH=arc uImage uImage.gz
  [ snip ]
    LD      vmlinux
    SORTTAB vmlinux
    SYSMAP  System.map
    OBJCOPY arch/arc/boot/vmlinux.bin
    OBJCOPY arch/arc/boot/vmlinux.bin
    GZIP    arch/arc/boot/vmlinux.bin.gz
    GZIP    arch/arc/boot/vmlinux.bin.gz
    UIMAGE  arch/arc/boot/uImage.gz
    UIMAGE  arch/arc/boot/uImage.gz
  Image Name:   Linux-5.10.0-rc4-00003-g62f23044
  Created:      Sun Nov 22 02:52:26 2020
  Image Type:   ARC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
  Data Size:    2109376 Bytes = 2059.94 KiB = 2.01 MiB
  Load Address: 80000000
  Entry Point:  80004000
    Image arch/arc/boot/uImage is ready
  Image Name:   Linux-5.10.0-rc4-00003-g62f23044

  Image Type:   ARC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
  Data Size:    2815455 Bytes = 2749.47 KiB = 2.69 MiB
  Load Address: 80000000
  Entry Point:  80004000

This is a race between the two threads trying to write to the same file
arch/arc/boot/uImage.gz. This is a potential problem that can generate
a broken file.

I fixed a similar problem for ARM by commit 3939f3345050 ("ARM: 8418/1:
add boot image dependencies to not generate invalid images").

I highly recommend to avoid such build rules that cause a race condition.

Move the uImage rule to arch/arc/Makefile.

Another strangeness is that arch/arc/boot/Makefile compares the
timestamps between $(obj)/uImage and $(obj)/uImage.*:

  $(obj)/uImage: $(obj)/uImage.$(suffix-y)
          @ln -sf $(notdir $&lt;) $@
          @echo '  Image $@ is ready'

This does not work as expected since $(obj)/uImage is a symlink.
The symlink should be created in a phony target rule.

I used $(kecho) instead of echo to suppress the message
'Image arch/arc/boot/uImage is ready' when the -s option is given.

[ Upstream commit 0cfccb3c04934cdef42ae26042139f16e805b5f7 ]

The top-level boot_targets (uImage and uImage.*) should be phony
targets. They just let Kbuild descend into arch/arc/boot/ and create
files there.

If a file exists in the top directory with the same name, the boot
image will not be created.

You can confirm it by the following steps:

  $ export CROSS_COMPILE=&lt;your-arc-compiler-prefix&gt;
  $ make -s ARCH=arc defconfig all   # vmlinux will be built
  $ touch uImage.gz
  $ make ARCH=arc uImage.gz
  CALL    scripts/atomic/check-atomics.sh
  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
  CHK     include/generated/compile.h
  # arch/arc/boot/uImage.gz is not created

Specify the targets as PHONY to fix this.

arch/arc/boot/Makefile supports uImage.lzma, but you cannot do
'make uImage.lzma' because the corresponding target is missing
in arch/arc/Makefile. Add it.

I also changed the assignment operator '+=' to ':=' since this is the
only place where we expect this variable to be set.

<title>ARC: build: remove non-existing bootpImage from KBUILD_IMAGE</title>

[ Upstream commit 9836720911cfec25d3fbdead1c438bf87e0f2841 ]

The deb-pkg builds for ARCH=arc fail.

  $ export CROSS_COMPILE=&lt;your-arc-compiler-prefix&gt;
  $ make -s ARCH=arc defconfig
  $ make ARCH=arc bindeb-pkg
  SORTTAB vmlinux
  SYSMAP  System.map
  MODPOST Module.symvers
  make KERNELRELEASE=5.10.0-rc4 ARCH=arc KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION=2 -f ./Makefile intdeb-pkg
  sh ./scripts/package/builddeb
  cp: cannot stat 'arch/arc/boot/bootpImage': No such file or directory
  make[4]: *** [scripts/Makefile.package:87: intdeb-pkg] Error 1
  make[3]: *** [Makefile:1527: intdeb-pkg] Error 2
  make[2]: *** [debian/rules:13: binary-arch] Error 2
  dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules binary subprocess returned exit status 2
  make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.package:83: bindeb-pkg] Error 2
  make: *** [Makefile:1527: bindeb-pkg] Error 2

The reason is obvious; arch/arc/Makefile sets $(boot)/bootpImage as
the default image, but there is no rule to build it.

Remove the meaningless KBUILD_IMAGE assignment so it will fallback
to the default vmlinux. With this change, you can build the deb package.

I removed the 'bootpImage' target as well. At best, it provides
'make bootpImage' as an alias of 'make vmlinux', but I do not see
much sense in doing so.

[ Upstream commit 87dbc209ea04645fd2351981f09eff5d23f8e2e9 ]

Make &lt;asm-generic/local64.h&gt; mandatory in include/asm-generic/Kbuild and
remove all arch/*/include/asm/local64.h arch-specific files since they
only #include &lt;asm-generic/local64.h&gt;.

This fixes build errors on arch/c6x/ and arch/nios2/ for
block/blk-iocost.c.

Build-tested on 21 of 25 arch-es.  (tools problems on the others)

Yes, we could even rename &lt;asm-generic/local64.h&gt; to
&lt;linux/local64.h&gt; and change all #includes to use
&lt;linux/local64.h&gt; instead.

<content type='text'>
To start stack unwinding (SP, PC and BLINK) are needed. When the
explicit execution context (pt_regs etc) is not available, unwinder
assumes the task is sleeping (in __switch_to()) and fetches SP and BLINK
from kernel mode stack.

But this assumption is not true, specially in a SMP system, when top
runs on 1 core, there may be active running processes on all cores.

So when unwinding non courrent tasks, ensure they are NOT running.

And while at it, handle the self unwinding case explicitly.

This came out of investigation of a customer reported hang with
rcutorture+top
