commit 3c047057d1206ec0f3b88c7809cacba478067a0c upstream.

When CONFIG_BUG is disabled, BUG_ON() will only evaluate the condition,
but will not actually stop the current thread. GCC warns about a couple
of BUG_ON() users where this actually leads to further undefined
behavior:

include/linux/ceph/osdmap.h: In function 'ceph_can_shift_osds':
include/linux/ceph/osdmap.h:54:1: warning: control reaches end of non-void function
fs/ext4/inode.c: In function 'ext4_map_blocks':
fs/ext4/inode.c:548:5: warning: 'retval' may be used uninitialized in this function
drivers/mfd/db8500-prcmu.c: In function 'prcmu_config_clkout':
drivers/mfd/db8500-prcmu.c:762:10: warning: 'div_mask' may be used uninitialized in this function
drivers/mfd/db8500-prcmu.c:769:13: warning: 'mask' may be used uninitialized in this function
drivers/mfd/db8500-prcmu.c:757:7: warning: 'bits' may be used uninitialized in this function
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c: In function 'univ8250_release_irq':
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c:252:18: warning: 'i' may be used uninitialized in this function
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c:235:19: note: 'i' was declared here

There is an obvious conflict of interest here: on the one hand, someone
who disables CONFIG_BUG() will want the kernel to be as small as possible
and doesn't care about printing error messages to a console that nobody
looks at. On the other hand, running into a BUG_ON() condition means that
something has gone wrong, and we probably want to also stop doing things
that might cause data corruption.

This patch picks the second choice, and changes the NOP to BUG(), which
normally stops the execution of the current thread in some form (endless
loop or a trap). This follows the logic we applied in a4b5d580e078 ("bug:
Make BUG() always stop the machine").

For ARM multi_v7_defconfig, the size slightly increases:

section		CONFIG_BUG=y	CONFIG_BUG=n	CONFIG_BUG=n+patch

  .text            8320248   |     8180944   |     8207688
  .rodata          3633720   |     3567144   |     3570648
  __bug_table        32508   |         ---   |         ---
  __modver             692   |        1584   |        2176
  .init.text        558132   |      548300   |      550088
  .exit.text         12380   |       12256   |       12380
  .data            1016672   |     1016064   |     1016128
  Total           14622556   |    14374510   |    14407326

So instead of saving 1.70% of the total image size, we only save 1.48%
by turning off CONFIG_BUG, but in return we can ensure that we don't run
into cases of uninitialized variable or return code uses when something
bad happens. Aside from that, we significantly reduce the number of
warnings in randconfig builds, which makes it easier to fix the warnings
about other problems.

<title>bug.h: work around GCC PR82365 in BUG()</title>

[ Upstream commit 173a3efd3edb2ef6ef07471397c5f542a360e9c1 ]

Looking at functions with large stack frames across all architectures
led me discovering that BUG() suffers from the same problem as
fortify_panic(), which I've added a workaround for already.

In short, variables that go out of scope by calling a noreturn function
or __builtin_unreachable() keep using stack space in functions
afterwards.

A workaround that was identified is to insert an empty assembler
statement just before calling the function that doesn't return.  I'm
adding a macro "barrier_before_unreachable()" to document this, and
insert calls to that in all instances of BUG() that currently suffer
from this problem.

The files that saw the largest change from this had these frame sizes
before, and much less with my patch:

  fs/ext4/inode.c:82:1: warning: the frame size of 1672 bytes is larger than 800 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
  fs/ext4/namei.c:434:1: warning: the frame size of 904 bytes is larger than 800 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
  fs/ext4/super.c:2279:1: warning: the frame size of 1160 bytes is larger than 800 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
  fs/ext4/xattr.c:146:1: warning: the frame size of 1168 bytes is larger than 800 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
  fs/f2fs/inode.c:152:1: warning: the frame size of 1424 bytes is larger than 800 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
  net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_core.c:1195:1: warning: the frame size of 1068 bytes is larger than 800 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
  net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_core.c:395:1: warning: the frame size of 1084 bytes is larger than 800 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
  net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_ftp.c:298:1: warning: the frame size of 928 bytes is larger than 800 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
  net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_ftp.c:418:1: warning: the frame size of 908 bytes is larger than 800 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
  net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_lblcr.c:718:1: warning: the frame size of 960 bytes is larger than 800 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
  drivers/net/xen-netback/netback.c:1500:1: warning: the frame size of 1088 bytes is larger than 800 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

In case of ARC and CRIS, it turns out that the BUG() implementation
actually does return (or at least the compiler thinks it does),
resulting in lots of warnings about uninitialized variable use and
leaving noreturn functions, such as:

  block/cfq-iosched.c: In function 'cfq_async_queue_prio':
  block/cfq-iosched.c:3804:1: error: control reaches end of non-void function [-Werror=return-type]
  include/linux/dmaengine.h: In function 'dma_maxpq':
  include/linux/dmaengine.h:1123:1: error: control reaches end of non-void function [-Werror=return-type]

This makes them call __builtin_trap() instead, which should normally
dump the stack and kill the current process, like some of the other
architectures already do.

I tried adding barrier_before_unreachable() to panic() and
fortify_panic() as well, but that had very little effect, so I'm not
submitting that patch.

<content type='text'>
When !CONFIG_BUG and !HAVE_ARCH_BUG, define the generic BUG() as an
infinite loop rather than a no-op.  This avoids undefined behavior if
execution ever actually reaches BUG(), and avoids warnings about code
after BUG() (such as on non-void functions calling BUG() and then not
returning).

no_printk.

<content type='text'>
When !CONFIG_BUG, WARN_ON and family become simple passthroughs of their
condition argument; however, WARN_ON_ONCE and family still have conditions
and a boolean to detect one-time invocation, even though the warning
they'd emit doesn't exist.  Make the existing definitions conditional on
CONFIG_BUG, and add definitions for !CONFIG_BUG that map to the
passthrough versions of WARN and WARN_ON.

This saves 4.4k on a minimized configuration (smaller than allnoconfig),
and 20.6k with defconfig plus CONFIG_BUG=n.

Commit 2603efa31a03 ("bug.h: Fix up powerpc build regression") corrected
the powerpc build case and extended the __ASSEMBLY__ guards, but it also
got caught in pre-processor hell accidentally matching the else case of
CONFIG_BUG resulting in the BUG disabled case tripping up on
-Werror=implicit-function-declaration.

It's not possible to __ASSEMBLY__ guard the entire file as architecture
code needs to get at the BUGFLAG_WARNING definition in the GENERIC_BUG
case, but the rest of the CONFIG_BUG=y/n case needs to be guarded.

Rather than littering endless __ASSEMBLY__ checks in each of the if/else
cases we just move the BUGFLAG definitions up under their own
GENERIC_BUG test and then shove everything else under one big
__ASSEMBLY__ guard.

Build tested on all of x86 CONFIG_BUG=y, CONFIG_BUG=n, powerpc (due to
it's dependence on BUGFLAG definitions in assembly code), and sh (due to
not bringing in linux/kernel.h to satisfy the taint flag definitions used
by the generic bug code).

Hopefully that's the end of the corner cases and I can abstain from ever
having to touch this infernal header ever again.

The asm-generic/bug.h __ASSEMBLY__ guarding is completely bogus, which
tripped up the powerpc build when the kernel.h include was added:

	In file included from include/asm-generic/bug.h:5:0,
			 from arch/powerpc/include/asm/bug.h:127,
			 from arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.S:31:
	include/linux/kernel.h:44:0: warning: "ALIGN" redefined [enabled by default]
	include/linux/linkage.h:57:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition
	include/linux/sysinfo.h: Assembler messages:
	include/linux/sysinfo.h:7: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `struct'
	include/linux/sysinfo.h:8: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `__kernel_long_t'

Moving the __ASSEMBLY__ guard up and stashing the kernel.h include under
it fixes this up, as well as covering the case the original fix was
attempting to handle.

asm-generic/bug.h uses taint flags that are only defined in
linux/kernel.h, resulting in build failures on platforms that
don't include linux/kernel.h some other way:

        arch/sh/include/asm/thread_info.h:172:2: error: 'TAINT_WARN' undeclared (first use in this function)

Caused by commit edd63a2763bd ("set_restore_sigmask() is never called
without SIGPENDING (and never should be)").

Due to the alignment of following variables, these typically consume
more than just the single byte that 'bool' requires, and as there are a
few hundred instances, the cache pollution (not so much the waste of
memory) sums up.  Put these variables into their own section, outside of
any half way frequently used memory range.

Do the same also to the __warned variable of rcu_lockdep_assert().
(Don't, however, include the ones used by printk_once() and alike, as
they can potentially be hot.)
