commit b98c6a160a057d5686a8c54c79cc6c8c94a7d0c8 upstream.

The last expression in a statement expression need not be a bare
variable, quoting gcc docs

  The last thing in the compound statement should be an expression
  followed by a semicolon; the value of this subexpression serves as the
  value of the entire construct.

and we already use that in e.g. the min/max macros which end with a
ternary expression.

This way, we can allow index to have const-qualified type, which will in
some cases avoid the need for introducing a local copy of index of
non-const qualified type. That, in turn, can prevent readers not
familiar with the internals of array_index_nospec from wondering about
the seemingly redundant extra variable, and I think that's worthwhile
considering how confusing the whole _nospec business is.

The expression _i&amp;_mask has type unsigned long (since that is the type
of _mask, and the BUILD_BUG_ONs guarantee that _i will get promoted to
that), so in order not to change the type of the whole expression, add
a cast back to typeof(_i).

commit 230f5a8969d8345fc9bbe3683f068246cf1be4b8 upstream.

Gerd reports that -&gt;i_mode may contain other bits besides S_IFCHR. Use
S_ISCHR() instead. Otherwise, get_user_pages_longterm() may fail on
device-dax instances when those are meant to be explicitly allowed.

[ Upstream commit d6b2785cd55ee72e9608762650b3ef299f801b1b ]

When mlx5_stop_eqs fails to destroy any of the eqs it returns with an error.
In such failure flow the function will return without
releasing all EQs irqs and then pci_free_irq_vectors will fail.
Fix by only warn on destroy EQ failure and continue to release other
EQs and their irqs.

It fixes the following kernel trace:
kernel: kernel BUG at drivers/pci/msi.c:352!

[ Upstream commit 3756f6401c302617c5e091081ca4d26ab604bec5 ]

gcc-8 warns about using strncpy() with the source size as the limit:

  fs/exec.c:1223:32: error: argument to 'sizeof' in 'strncpy' call is the same expression as the source; did you mean to use the size of the destination? [-Werror=sizeof-pointer-memaccess]

This is indeed slightly suspicious, as it protects us from source
arguments without NUL-termination, but does not guarantee that the
destination is terminated.

This keeps the strncpy() to ensure we have properly padded target
buffer, but ensures that we use the correct length, by passing the
actual length of the destination buffer as well as adding a build-time
check to ensure it is exactly TASK_COMM_LEN.

There are only 23 callsites which I all reviewed to ensure this is
currently the case.  We could get away with doing only the check or
passing the right length, but it doesn't hurt to do both.

commit 101110f6271ce956a049250c907bc960030577f8 upstream.

Build testing with LTO found a couple of files that get compiled
differently depending on whether asm/byteorder.h gets included early
enough or not.  In particular, include/asm-generic/qrwlock_types.h is
affected by this, but there are probably others as well.

The symptom is a series of LTO link time warnings, including these:

    net/netlabel/netlabel_unlabeled.h:223: error: type of 'netlbl_unlhsh_add' does not match original declaration [-Werror=lto-type-mismatch]
     int netlbl_unlhsh_add(struct net *net,
    net/netlabel/netlabel_unlabeled.c:377: note: 'netlbl_unlhsh_add' was previously declared here

    include/net/ipv6.h:360: error: type of 'ipv6_renew_options_kern' does not match original declaration [-Werror=lto-type-mismatch]

    net/core/dev.c:761: note: code may be misoptimized unless -fno-strict-aliasing is used

    drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_drv.h:3377: error: type of 'i915_gem_object_set_to_wc_domain' does not match original declaration [-Werror=lto-type-mismatch]

    drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c:3639: note: 'i915_gem_object_set_to_wc_domain' was previously declared here

    include/linux/debugfs.h:92:9: error: type of 'debugfs_attr_read' does not match original declaration [-Werror=lto-type-mismatch]
     ssize_t debugfs_attr_read(struct file *file, char __user *buf,

    include/linux/rwlock_api_smp.h:30: error: type of '_raw_read_unlock' does not match original declaration [-Werror=lto-type-mismatch]
     void __lockfunc _raw_read_unlock(rwlock_t *lock) __releases(lock);
    kernel/locking/spinlock.c:246:26: note: '_raw_read_unlock' was previously declared here

    include/linux/fs.h:3308:5: error: type of 'simple_attr_open' does not match original declaration [-Werror=lto-type-mismatch]
     int simple_attr_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file,
    fs/libfs.c:795: note: 'simple_attr_open' was previously declared here

All of the above are caused by include/asm-generic/qrwlock_types.h
failing to include asm/byteorder.h after commit e0d02285f16e
("locking/qrwlock: Use 'struct qrwlock' instead of 'struct __qrwlock'")
in linux-4.15.

Similar bugs may or may not exist in older kernels as well, but there is
no easy way to test those with link-time optimizations, and kernels
before 4.14 are harder to fix because they don't have Babu's patch
series

We had similar issues with CONFIG_ symbols in the past and ended up
always including the configuration headers though linux/kconfig.h.  This
works around the issue through that same file, defining either
__BIG_ENDIAN or __LITTLE_ENDIAN depending on CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN,
which is now always set on all architectures since commit 4c97a0c8fee3
("arch: define CPU_BIG_ENDIAN for all fixed big endian archs").

commit 28128c61e08eaeced9cc8ec0e6b5d677b5b94690 upstream.

The header files for some structures could get included in such a way
that struct attributes (specifically __randomize_layout from path.h) would
be parsed as variable names instead of attributes. This could lead to
some instances of a structure being unrandomized, causing nasty GPFs, etc.

This patch makes sure the compiler_types.h header is included in
kconfig.h so that we've always got types and struct attributes defined,
since kconfig.h is included from the compiler command line.

[ Upstream commit fd00cf81a9a84776ba58e56bd042c726dcf75cf3 ]

The receive_buf callback is supposed to return the number of bytes
processed and should specifically not return a negative errno.

Due to missing sanity checks in the serdev tty-port controller, a driver
not providing a receive_buf callback could cause the flush_to_ldisc()
worker to spin in a tight loop when the tty buffer pointers are
incremented with -EINVAL (-22).

The missing sanity checks have now been added to the tty-port
controller, but let's fix up the serdev-controller helper as well.

<content type='text'>
commit e901b9873876ca30a09253731bd3a6b00c44b5b0 upstream.

This patch adds a new helper function to perform a sanity check of the
given URB to see whether it contains a valid endpoint.  It's a light-
weight version of what usb_submit_urb() does, but without the kernel
warning followed by the stack trace, just returns an error code.

Especially for a driver that doesn't parse the descriptor but fills
the URB with the fixed endpoint (e.g. some quirks for non-compliant
devices), this kind of check is preferable at the probe phase before
actually submitting the urb.
