[ 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.

commit 5d5f08fd0cd970184376bee07d59f635c8403f63 upstream.

A malicious user could pass an arbitrarily bad value
to memdup_user_nul(), potentially causing kernel crash.

This follows the same pattern as commit ee76746387f6
("netdevsim: prevent bad user input in nsim_dev_health_break_write()")

Fixes: b6c7e873daf7 ("xtensa: ISS: add host file-based simulated disk")
Fixes: 16e5c1fc3604 ("convert a bunch of open-coded instances of memdup_user_nul()")

[ 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.

[ Upstream commit 0e60f0b75884677fb9f4f2ad40d52b43451564d5 ]

Xtensa has two-argument MAKE_PC_FROM_RA macro to convert a0 to an actual
return address because when windowed ABI is used call{,x}{4,8,12}
opcodes stuff encoded window size into the top 2 bits of the register
that becomes a return address in the called function. Second argument of
that macro is supposed to be an address having these 2 topmost bits set
correctly, but the comment suggested that that could be the stack
address. However the stack doesn't have to be in the same 1GByte region
as the code, especially in noMMU XIP configurations.

Fix the comment and use either _text or regs-&gt;pc as the second argument
for the MAKE_PC_FROM_RA macro.

<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.
