[ Upstream commit b9e2f2246eb2b5617d53af7b5e4e1b8c916f26a8 ]

The thread flags may change during their processing.
For example a task_work can queue a new signal to be sent.
This signal should be delivered before returning to usespace again.

Evaluate the flags repeatedly similar to other architectures.

With CONFIG_GENDWARFKSYMS, um builds fail due to missing prototypes
in asm/asm-prototypes.h. Add declarations for cmpxchg8b_emu and the
exported checksum functions, including csum_partial_copy_generic as
it's also exported.

[ 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.

<title>work around gcc bugs with 'asm goto' with outputs</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f70efe54b97e95c369ab3f46cdbed8b5608e36d7</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 68fb3ca0e408e00db1c3f8fccdfa19e274c033be upstream.

We've had issues with gcc and 'asm goto' before, and we created a
'asm_volatile_goto()' macro for that in the past: see commits
3f0116c3238a ("compiler/gcc4: Add quirk for 'asm goto' miscompilation
bug") and a9f180345f53 ("compiler/gcc4: Make quirk for
asm_volatile_goto() unconditional").

Then, much later, we ended up removing the workaround in commit
43c249ea0b1e ("compiler-gcc.h: remove ancient workaround for gcc PR
58670") because we no longer supported building the kernel with the
affected gcc versions, but we left the macro uses around.

Now, Sean Christopherson reports a new version of a very similar
problem, which is fixed by re-applying that ancient workaround.  But the
problem in question is limited to only the 'asm goto with outputs'
cases, so instead of re-introducing the old workaround as-is, let's
rename and limit the workaround to just that much less common case.

It looks like there are at least two separate issues that all hit in
this area:

 (a) some versions of gcc don't mark the asm goto as 'volatile' when it
     has outputs:

        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=98619
        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110420

     which is easy to work around by just adding the 'volatile' by hand.

 (b) Internal compiler errors:

        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110422

     which are worked around by adding the extra empty 'asm' as a
     barrier, as in the original workaround.

but the problem Sean sees may be a third thing since it involves bad
code generation (not an ICE) even with the manually added 'volatile'.

The same old workaround works for this case, even if this feels a
bit like voodoo programming and may only be hiding the issue.

GCC has supported asm goto since 4.5, and Clang has since version 9.0.0.
The minimum supported versions of these tools for the build according to
Documentation/process/changes.rst are 5.1 and 11.0.0 respectively.

Remove the feature detection script, Kconfig option, and clean up some
fallback code that is no longer supported.

The removed script was also testing for a GCC specific bug that was
fixed in the 4.7 release.

Also remove workarounds for bpftrace using clang older than 9.0.0, since
other BPF backend fixes are required at this point.
