[ Upstream commit 313a06e636808387822af24c507cba92703568b1 ]

The lib/raid6/test fails to build the neon objects
on arm64 because the correct machine type is 'aarch64'.

Once this is correctly enabled, the neon recovery objects
need to be added to the build.

commit 1c23b4108d716cc848b38532063a8aca4f86add8 upstream.

gcc-8 complains about the prototype for this function:

  lib/ubsan.c:432:1: error: ignoring attribute 'noreturn' in declaration of a built-in function '__ubsan_handle_builtin_unreachable' because it conflicts with attribute 'const' [-Werror=attributes]

This is actually a GCC's bug. In GCC internals
__ubsan_handle_builtin_unreachable() declared with both 'noreturn' and
'const' attributes instead of only 'noreturn':

   https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=84210

Workaround this by removing the noreturn attribute.

<title>locking/lockdep: Fix debug_locks off performance problem</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5cf2ab06e8d0d7c9ca15f51eeed67103a973725f</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 9506a7425b094d2f1d9c877ed5a78f416669269b ]

It was found that when debug_locks was turned off because of a problem
found by the lockdep code, the system performance could drop quite
significantly when the lock_stat code was also configured into the
kernel. For instance, parallel kernel build time on a 4-socket x86-64
server nearly doubled.

Further analysis into the cause of the slowdown traced back to the
frequent call to debug_locks_off() from the __lock_acquired() function
probably due to some inconsistent lockdep states with debug_locks
off. The debug_locks_off() function did an unconditional atomic xchg
to write a 0 value into debug_locks which had already been set to 0.
This led to severe cacheline contention in the cacheline that held
debug_locks.  As debug_locks is being referenced in quite a few different
places in the kernel, this greatly slow down the system performance.

To prevent that trashing of debug_locks cacheline, lock_acquired()
and lock_contended() now checks the state of debug_locks before
proceeding. The debug_locks_off() function is also modified to check
debug_locks before calling __debug_locks_off().

[ Upstream commit 52fda36d63bfc8c8e8ae5eda8eb5ac6f52cd67ed ]

Function bpf_fill_maxinsns11 is designed to not be able to be JITed on
x86_64. So, it fails when CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON=y, and
commit 09584b406742 ("bpf: fix selftests/bpf test_kmod.sh failure when
CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON=y") makes sure that failure is detected on that
case.

However, it does not fail on other architectures, which have a different
JIT compiler design. So, test_bpf has started to fail to load on those.

After this fix, test_bpf loads fine on both x86_64 and ppc64el.

Fixes: 09584b406742 ("bpf: fix selftests/bpf test_kmod.sh failure when CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON=y")

[ Upstream commit 624fa7790f80575a4ec28fbdb2034097dc18d051 ]

In the scsi_transport_srp implementation it cannot be avoided to
iterate over a klist from atomic context when using the legacy block
layer instead of blk-mq. Hence this patch that makes it safe to use
klists in atomic context. This patch avoids that lockdep reports the
following:

commit fc91a3c4c27acdca0bc13af6fbb68c35cfd519f2 upstream.

While debugging an issue debugobject tracking warned about an annotation
issue of an object on stack. It turned out that the issue was due to the
object in concern being on a different stack which was due to another
issue.

Thomas suggested to print the pointers and the location of the stack for
the currently running task. This helped to figure out that the object was
on the wrong stack.

As this is general useful information for debugging similar issues, make
the error message more informative by printing the pointers.

<title>printk/nmi: Prevent deadlock when accessing the main log buffer in NMI</title>

<id>urn:sha1:cd71265a8cd6a41c54dcfd594b0e653740cf1282</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 03fc7f9c99c1e7ae2925d459e8487f1a6f199f79 upstream.

The commit 719f6a7040f1bdaf96 ("printk: Use the main logbuf in NMI
when logbuf_lock is available") brought back the possible deadlocks
in printk() and NMI.

The check of logbuf_lock is done only in printk_nmi_enter() to prevent
mixed output. But another CPU might take the lock later, enter NMI, and:

      + Both NMIs might be serialized by yet another lock, for example,
	the one in nmi_cpu_backtrace().

      + The other CPU might get stopped in NMI, see smp_send_stop()
	in panic().

The only safe solution is to use trylock when storing the message
into the main log-buffer. It might cause reordering when some lines
go to the main lock buffer directly and others are delayed via
the per-CPU buffer. It means that it is not useful in general.

This patch replaces the problematic NMI deferred context with NMI
direct context. It can be used to mark a code that might produce
many messages in NMI and the risk of losing them is more critical
than problems with eventual reordering.

The context is then used when dumping trace buffers on oops. It was
the primary motivation for the original fix. Also the reordering is
even smaller issue there because some traces have their own time stamps.

Finally, nmi_cpu_backtrace() need not longer be serialized because
it will always us the per-CPU buffers again.

<content type='text'>
commit 785a19f9d1dd8a4ab2d0633be4656653bd3de1fc upstream.

The following kernel panic was observed on ARM64 platform due to a stale
TLB entry.

 1. ioremap with 4K size, a valid pte page table is set.
 2. iounmap it, its pte entry is set to 0.
 3. ioremap the same address with 2M size, update its pmd entry with
    a new value.
 4. CPU may hit an exception because the old pmd entry is still in TLB,
    which leads to a kernel panic.

Commit b6bdb7517c3d ("mm/vmalloc: add interfaces to free unmapped page
table") has addressed this panic by falling to pte mappings in the above
case on ARM64.

To support pmd mappings in all cases, TLB purge needs to be performed
in this case on ARM64.

Add a new arg, 'addr', to pud_free_pmd_page() and pmd_free_pte_page()
so that TLB purge can be added later in seprate patches.

[ Upstream commit 107d01f5ba10f4162c38109496607eb197059064 ]

rhashtable_init() currently does not take into account the user-passed
min_size parameter unless param-&gt;nelem_hint is set as well. As such,
the default size (number of buckets) will always be HASH_DEFAULT_SIZE
even if the smallest allowed size is larger than that. Remediate this
by unconditionally calling into rounded_hashtable_size() and handling
things accordingly.
