[ Upstream commit 35561bab768977c9e05f1f1a9bc00134c85f3e28 ]

The include/generated/asm-offsets.h is generated in Kbuild during
compiling from arch/SRCARCH/kernel/asm-offsets.c. When we want to
generate another similar offset header file, circular dependency can
happen.

For example, we want to generate a offset file include/generated/test.h,
which is included in include/sched/sched.h. If we generate asm-offsets.h
first, it will fail, as include/sched/sched.h is included in asm-offsets.c
and include/generated/test.h doesn't exist; If we generate test.h first,
it can't success neither, as include/generated/asm-offsets.h is included
by it.

In x86_64, the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS is used to avoid such circular
dependency. We can generate asm-offsets.h first, and if the
COMPILE_OFFSETS is defined, we don't include the "generated/test.h".

And we define the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS for all the asm-offsets.c for this
purpose.

[ Upstream commit 03410e87563a122075c3721acc7d5510e41d8332 ]

die executes holding the spinlock of &amp;die.lock and unlock
it after printing the oops message.
However in the code if the notify_die() returns NOTIFY_STOP
, die() exit with returning 1 but never unlocked the spinlock.

Fix this by adding spin_unlock_irq(&amp;die.lock) before returning.

[ Upstream commit 8a20030038742b9915c6d811a4e6c14b126cafb4 ]

Sparse reports

    net/ipv4/inet_diag.c:1511:17: sparse: sparse: Using plain integer as NULL pointer

Due to this code calling cmpxchg on a non-integer type
struct inet_diag_handler *

    return !cmpxchg((const struct inet_diag_handler**)&amp;inet_diag_table[type],
                    NULL, h) ? 0 : -EEXIST;

While hexagon's cmpxchg assigns an integer value to a variable of this
type.

    __typeof__(*(ptr)) __oldval = 0;

Update this assignment to cast 0 to the correct type.

The original issue is easily reproduced at head with the below block,
and is absent after this change.

    make LLVM=1 ARCH=hexagon defconfig
    make C=1 LLVM=1 ARCH=hexagon net/ipv4/inet_diag.o

<title>hexagon: Disable constant extender optimization for LLVM prior to 19.1.0</title>

<content type='text'>
commit aef25be35d23ec768eed08bfcf7ca3cf9685bc28 upstream.

The Hexagon-specific constant extender optimization in LLVM may crash on
Linux kernel code [1], such as fs/bcache/btree_io.c after
commit 32ed4a620c54 ("bcachefs: Btree path tracepoints") in 6.12:

  clang: llvm/lib/Target/Hexagon/HexagonConstExtenders.cpp:745: bool (anonymous namespace)::HexagonConstExtenders::ExtRoot::operator&lt;(const HCE::ExtRoot &amp;) const: Assertion `ThisB-&gt;getParent() == OtherB-&gt;getParent()' failed.
  Stack dump:
  0.      Program arguments: clang --target=hexagon-linux-musl ... fs/bcachefs/btree_io.c
  1.      &lt;eof&gt; parser at end of file
  2.      Code generation
  3.      Running pass 'Function Pass Manager' on module 'fs/bcachefs/btree_io.c'.
  4.      Running pass 'Hexagon constant-extender optimization' on function '@__btree_node_lock_nopath'

Without assertions enabled, there is just a hang during compilation.

This has been resolved in LLVM main (20.0.0) [2] and backported to LLVM
19.1.0 but the kernel supports LLVM 13.0.1 and newer, so disable the
constant expander optimization using the '-mllvm' option when using a
toolchain that is not fixed.

[ Upstream commit e025ab842ec35225b1a8e163d1f311beb9e38ce9 ]

Most architectures (except arm64/x86/sparc) simply return 1 for
kern_addr_valid(), which is only used in read_kcore(), and it calls
copy_from_kernel_nofault() which could check whether the address is a
valid kernel address.  So as there is no need for kern_addr_valid(), let's
remove it.

commit 896842284c6ccba25ec9d78b7b6e62cdd507c083 upstream.

fadvise64_64() has two 64-bit arguments at the wrong alignment
for hexagon, which turns them into a 7-argument syscall that is
not supported by Linux.

The downstream musl port for hexagon actually asks for a 6-argument
version the same way we do it on arm, csky, powerpc, so make the
kernel do it the same way to avoid having to change both.

commit 3339b99ef6fe38dac43b534cba3a8a0e29fb2eff upstream.

Both of these architectures require u64 function arguments to be
passed in even/odd pairs of registers or stack slots, which in case of
sync_file_range would result in a seven-argument system call that is
not currently possible. The system call is therefore incompatible with
all existing binaries.

While it would be possible to implement support for seven arguments
like on mips, it seems better to use a six-argument version, either
with the normal argument order but misaligned as on most architectures
or with the reordered sync_file_range2() calling conventions as on
arm and powerpc.

commit 549aa9678a0b3981d4821bf244579d9937650562 upstream.

After the linked LLVM change, the build fails with
CONFIG_LD_ORPHAN_WARN_LEVEL="error", which happens with allmodconfig:

  ld.lld: error: vmlinux.a(init/main.o):(.hexagon.attributes) is being placed in '.hexagon.attributes'

Handle the attributes section in a similar manner as arm and riscv by
adding it after the primary ELF_DETAILS grouping in vmlinux.lds.S, which
fixes the error.

commit a050ba1e7422f2cc60ff8bfde3f96d34d00cb585 upstream.

This does the simple pattern conversion of alpha, arc, csky, hexagon,
loongarch, nios2, sh, sparc32, and xtensa to the lock_mm_and_find_vma()
helper.  They all have the regular fault handling pattern without odd
special cases.

The remaining architectures all have something that keeps us from a
straightforward conversion: ia64 and parisc have stacks that can grow
both up as well as down (and ia64 has special address region checks).

And m68k, microblaze, openrisc, sparc64, and um end up having extra
rules about only expanding the stack down a limited amount below the
user space stack pointer.  That is something that x86 used to do too
(long long ago), and it probably could just be skipped, but it still
makes the conversion less than trivial.

Note that this conversion was done manually and with the exception of
alpha without any build testing, because I have a fairly limited cross-
building environment.  The cases are all simple, and I went through the
changes several times, but...
