commit b3bee1e7c3f2b1b77182302c7b2131c804175870 upstream.

Use -std=gnu11 for consistency with main kernel code.

It doesn't seem to change anything in vmlinux.

<title>x86/stackprotector: Work around strict Clang TLS symbol requirements</title>

[ Upstream commit 577c134d311b9b94598d7a0c86be1f431f823003 ]

GCC and Clang both implement stack protector support based on Thread Local
Storage (TLS) variables, and this is used in the kernel to implement per-task
stack cookies, by copying a task's stack cookie into a per-CPU variable every
time it is scheduled in.

Both now also implement -mstack-protector-guard-symbol=, which permits the TLS
variable to be specified directly. This is useful because it will allow to
move away from using a fixed offset of 40 bytes into the per-CPU area on
x86_64, which requires a lot of special handling in the per-CPU code and the
runtime relocation code.

However, while GCC is rather lax in its implementation of this command line
option, Clang actually requires that the provided symbol name refers to a TLS
variable (i.e., one declared with __thread), although it also permits the
variable to be undeclared entirely, in which case it will use an implicit
declaration of the right type.

The upshot of this is that Clang will emit the correct references to the stack
cookie variable in most cases, e.g.,

  10d:       64 a1 00 00 00 00       mov    %fs:0x0,%eax
                     10f: R_386_32   __stack_chk_guard

However, if a non-TLS definition of the symbol in question is visible in the
same compilation unit (which amounts to the whole of vmlinux if LTO is
enabled), it will drop the per-CPU prefix and emit a load from a bogus
address.

Work around this by using a symbol name that never occurs in C code, and emit
it as an alias in the linker script.

<title>kbuild: unify vdso_install rules</title>

<id>urn:sha1:adacfc6dec4c456f48461c571878247546dbd327</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 56769ba4b297a629148eb24d554aef72d1ddfd9e ]

Currently, there is no standard implementation for vdso_install,
leading to various issues:

 1. Code duplication

    Many architectures duplicate similar code just for copying files
    to the install destination.

    Some architectures (arm, sparc, x86) create build-id symlinks,
    introducing more code duplication.

 2. Unintended updates of in-tree build artifacts

    The vdso_install rule depends on the vdso files to install.
    It may update in-tree build artifacts. This can be problematic,
    as explained in commit 19514fc665ff ("arm, kbuild: make
    "make install" not depend on vmlinux").

 3. Broken code in some architectures

    Makefile code is often copied from one architecture to another
    without proper adaptation.

    'make vdso_install' for parisc does not work.

    'make vdso_install' for s390 installs vdso64, but not vdso32.

To address these problems, this commit introduces a generic vdso_install
rule.

Architectures that support vdso_install need to define vdso-install-y
in arch/*/Makefile. vdso-install-y lists the files to install.

For example, arch/x86/Makefile looks like this:

  vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_64)           += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso64.so.dbg
  vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI)      += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdsox32.so.dbg
  vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_32)           += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg
  vdso-install-$(CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION)   += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg

These files will be installed to $(MODLIB)/vdso/ with the .dbg suffix,
if exists, stripped away.

vdso-install-y can optionally take the second field after the colon
separator. This is needed because some architectures install a vdso
file as a different base name.

The following is a snippet from arch/arm64/Makefile.

  vdso-install-$(CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO)      += arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/vdso.so.dbg:vdso32.so

This will rename vdso.so.dbg to vdso32.so during installation. If such
architectures change their implementation so that the base names match,
this workaround will go away.

Currently the Kconfig fragments in kernel/configs and arch/*/configs
that aren't used internally aren't discoverable through "make help",
which consists of hard-coded lists of config fragments. Instead, list
all the fragment targets that have a "# Help: " comment prefix so the
targets can be generated dynamically.

Add logic to the Makefile to search for and display the fragment and
comment. Add comments to fragments that are intended to be direct targets.

<title>fbdev: Split frame buffer support in FB and FB_CORE symbols</title>

<id>urn:sha1:55bffc8170bb5813c51a44b1f4a818ade675fe1f</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently the CONFIG_FB option has to be enabled even if no legacy fbdev
drivers are needed (e.g: only to have support for framebuffer consoles).

The DRM subsystem has a fbdev emulation layer, but depends on CONFIG_FB
and so it can only be enabled if that dependency is enabled as well.

That means fbdev drivers have to be explicitly disabled if users want to
enable CONFIG_FB, only to use fbcon and/or the DRM fbdev emulation layer.

This patch introduces a non-visible CONFIG_FB_CORE symbol that could be
enabled just to have core support needed for CONFIG_DRM_FBDEV_EMULATION,
allowing CONFIG_FB to be disabled (and automatically disabling all the
fbdev drivers).

Nothing from fb_backlight.o and fbmon.o is used by the DRM fbdev emulation
layer so these two objects can be compiled out when CONFIG_FB is disabled.

Commits ffb1b4a41016 ("x86/unwind/orc: Add 'signal' field to ORC
metadata") and fb799447ae29 ("x86,objtool: Split UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY in
two") changed the ORC format. Although ORC is internal to the kernel,
it's the only way for external tools to get reliable kernel stack traces
on x86-64. In particular, the drgn debugger [1] uses ORC for stack
unwinding, and these format changes broke it [2]. As the drgn
maintainer, I don't care how often or how much the kernel changes the
ORC format as long as I have a way to detect the change.

It suffices to store a version identifier in the vmlinux and kernel
module ELF files (to use when parsing ORC sections from ELF), and in
kernel memory (to use when parsing ORC from a core dump+symbol table).
Rather than hard-coding a version number that needs to be manually
bumped, Peterz suggested hashing the definitions from orc_types.h. If
there is a format change that isn't caught by this, the hashing script
can be updated.

This patch adds an .orc_header allocated ELF section containing the
20-byte hash to vmlinux and kernel modules, along with the corresponding
__start_orc_header and __stop_orc_header symbols in vmlinux.

Running 'make ARCH=x86 defconfig' on anything other than an x86_64
machine currently results in a 32-bit build, which is rarely what
anyone wants these days.

Change the default so that the 64-bit config gets used unless
the user asks for i386_defconfig, uses ARCH=i386 or runs on
a system that "uname -m" identifies as i386/i486/i586/i686.
