[ Upstream commit 46faf9d8e1d52e4a91c382c6c72da6bd8e68297b ]

Holding a mutex across synchronize_rcu_tasks() and acquiring
that same mutex in code called from do_exit() after its call to
exit_tasks_rcu_start() but before its call to exit_tasks_rcu_stop()
results in deadlock.  This is by design, because tasks that are far
enough into do_exit() are no longer present on the tasks list, making
it a bit difficult for RCU Tasks to find them, let alone wait on them
to do a voluntary context switch.  However, such deadlocks are becoming
more frequent.  In addition, lockdep currently does not detect such
deadlocks and they can be difficult to reproduce.

In addition, if a task voluntarily context switches during that time
(for example, if it blocks acquiring a mutex), then this task is in an
RCU Tasks quiescent state.  And with some adjustments, RCU Tasks could
just as well take advantage of that fact.

This commit therefore initializes the data structures that will be needed
to rely on these quiescent states and to eliminate these deadlocks.

[ Upstream commit aacf93e87f0d808ef46e621aa56caea336b4433c ]

Another oddity in these config entries is their default value can fall
back to 'n', which is a value for bool or tristate symbols.

The '|| echo n' is an incorrect workaround to avoid the syntax error.
This is not a big deal, as the entry is hidden by 'depends on RUST' in
situations where '$(RUSTC) --version' or '$(BINDGEN) --version' fails.
Anyway, it looks odd.

The default of a string type symbol should be a double-quoted string
literal. Turn it into an empty string when the version command fails.

[ Upstream commit 5ce86c6c861352c9346ebb5c96ed70cb67414aa3 ]

While this is a somewhat unusual case, I encountered odd error messages
when I ran Kconfig in a foreign architecture chroot.

  $ make allmodconfig
  sh: 1: rustc: not found
  sh: 1: bindgen: not found
  #
  # configuration written to .config
  #

The successful execution of 'command -v rustc' does not necessarily mean
that 'rustc --version' will succeed.

  $ sh -c 'command -v rustc'
  /home/masahiro/.cargo/bin/rustc
  $ sh -c 'rustc --version'
  sh: 1: rustc: not found

Here, 'rustc' is built for x86, and I ran it in an arm64 system.

The current code:

  command -v $(RUSTC) &gt;/dev/null 2&gt;&amp;1 &amp;&amp; $(RUSTC) --version || echo n

can be turned into:

  command -v $(RUSTC) &gt;/dev/null 2&gt;&amp;1 &amp;&amp; $(RUSTC) --version 2&gt;/dev/null || echo n

However, I did not understand the necessity of 'command -v $(RUSTC)'.

I simplified it to:

  $(RUSTC) --version 2&gt;/dev/null || echo n

[ Upstream commit 9e98db17837093cb0f4dcfcc3524739d93249c45 ]

`bindgen` 0.69.0 contains a bug: `--version` does not work without
providing a header [1]:

    error: the following required arguments were not provided:
      &lt;HEADER&gt;

    Usage: bindgen &lt;FLAGS&gt; &lt;OPTIONS&gt; &lt;HEADER&gt; -- &lt;CLANG_ARGS&gt;...

Thus, in preparation for supporting several `bindgen` versions, work
around the issue by passing a dummy argument.

Include a comment so that we can remove the workaround in the future.

<content type='text'>
commit f126745da81783fb1d082e67bf14c6795e489a88 upstream.

When using the shadow call stack sanitizer, all code must be compiled
with the -ffixed-x18 flag, but this flag is not currently being passed
to Rust. This results in crashes that are extremely difficult to debug.

To ensure that nobody else has to go through the same debugging session
that I had to, prevent configurations that enable both SHADOW_CALL_STACK
and RUST.

It is rather common for people to backport 724a75ac9542 ("arm64: rust:
Enable Rust support for AArch64"), so I recommend applying this fix all
the way back to 6.1.

commit 8933cf4651e02853ca679be7b2d978dfcdcc5e0c upstream.

On RISC-V and arm64, and presumably x86, if CFI_CLANG is enabled,
loading a rust module will trigger a kernel panic. Support for
sanitisers, including kcfi (CFI_CLANG), is in the works, but for now
they're nightly-only options in rustc. Make RUST depend on !CFI_CLANG
to prevent configuring a kernel without symmetrical support for kfi.

[ Matthew Maurer writes [1]:

    This patch is fine by me - the last patch needed for KCFI to be
    functional in Rust just landed upstream last night, so we should
    revisit this (in the form of enabling it) once we move to
    `rustc-1.79.0` or later.

  Ramon de C Valle also gave feedback [2] on the status of KCFI for
  Rust and created a tracking issue [3] in upstream Rust.   - Miguel ]

<title>rust: don't select CONSTRUCTORS</title>

commit 7d49f53af4b988b188d3932deac2c9c80fd7d9ce upstream.

This was originally part of commit 4b9a68f2e59a0 ("rust: add support for
static synchronisation primitives") from the old Rust branch, which used
module constructors to initialize globals containing various
synchronisation primitives with pin-init. That commit has never been
upstreamed, but the `select CONSTRUCTORS` statement ended up being
included in the patch that initially added Rust support to the Linux
Kernel.

We are not using module constructors, so let's remove the select.

commit 46dad3c1e57897ab9228332f03e1c14798d2d3b9 upstream.

We allocate memory of size 'xlen + strlen(boot_command_line) + 1' for
static_command_line, but the strings copied into static_command_line are
extra_command_line and command_line, rather than extra_command_line and
boot_command_line.

When strlen(command_line) &gt; strlen(boot_command_line), static_command_line
will overflow.

This patch just recovers strlen(command_line) which was miss-consolidated
with strlen(boot_command_line) in the commit f5c7310ac73e ("init/main: add
checks for the return value of memblock_alloc*()")
