[ Upstream commit 984ed20ece1c6c20789ece040cbff3eb1a388fa9 ]

If you enable "Option -&gt; Show Debug Info" and click a link, the program
terminates with the following error:

    *** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated

The buffer overflow is caused by the following line:

    strcat(data, "$");

The buffer needs one more byte to accommodate the additional character.

[ Upstream commit 33330bcf031818e60a816db0cfd3add9eecc3b28 ]

When merging files without trailing newlines at the end of the file, two
config fragments end up at the same row if file1.config doens't have a
trailing newline at the end of the file.

file1.config "CONFIG_1=y"
file2.config "CONFIG_2=y"
./scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh -m .config file1.config file2.config

This will generate a .config looking like this.
cat .config
...
CONFIG_1=yCONFIG_2=y"

Making sure so we add a newline at the end of every config file that is
passed into the script.

<title>kbuild: Fix '-S -c' in x86 stack protector scripts</title>

<id>urn:sha1:41dd9636414bef6dc9ce8f8d84be3424e2952f3d</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 3415b10a03945b0da4a635e146750dfe5ce0f448 upstream.

After a recent change in clang to stop consuming all instances of '-S'
and '-c' [1], the stack protector scripts break due to the kernel's use
of -Werror=unused-command-line-argument to catch cases where flags are
not being properly consumed by the compiler driver:

  $ echo | clang -o - -x c - -S -c -Werror=unused-command-line-argument
  clang: error: argument unused during compilation: '-c' [-Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument]

This results in CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR getting disabled because
CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR is no longer set.

'-c' and '-S' both instruct the compiler to stop at different stages of
the pipeline ('-S' after compiling, '-c' after assembling), so having
them present together in the same command makes little sense. In this
case, the test wants to stop before assembling because it is looking at
the textual assembly output of the compiler for either '%fs' or '%gs',
so remove '-c' from the list of arguments to resolve the error.

All versions of GCC continue to work after this change, along with
versions of clang that do or do not contain the change mentioned above.

<title>kconfig: remove wrong expr_trans_bool()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ffe47bf986d130ff7ce74b65f1ce00c7bee90b21</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 77a92660d8fe8d29503fae768d9f5eb529c88b36 ]

expr_trans_bool() performs an incorrect transformation.

[Test Code]

    config MODULES
            def_bool y
            modules

    config A
            def_bool y
            select C if B != n

    config B
            def_tristate m

    config C
            tristate

[Result]

    CONFIG_MODULES=y
    CONFIG_A=y
    CONFIG_B=m
    CONFIG_C=m

This output is incorrect because CONFIG_C=y is expected.

Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.rst clearly explains the function
of the '!=' operator:

    If the values of both symbols are equal, it returns 'n',
    otherwise 'y'.

Therefore, the statement:

    select C if B != n

should be equivalent to:

    select C if y

Or, more simply:

    select C

Hence, the symbol C should be selected by the value of A, which is 'y'.

However, expr_trans_bool() wrongly transforms it to:

    select C if B

Therefore, the symbol C is selected by (A &amp;&amp; B), which is 'm'.

The comment block of expr_trans_bool() correctly explains its intention:

  * bool FOO!=n =&gt; FOO
    ^^^^

If FOO is bool, FOO!=n can be simplified into FOO. This is correct.

However, the actual code performs this transformation when FOO is
tristate:

    if (e-&gt;left.sym-&gt;type == S_TRISTATE) {
                             ^^^^^^^^^^

While it can be fixed to S_BOOLEAN, there is no point in doing so
because expr_tranform() already transforms FOO!=n to FOO when FOO is
bool. (see the "case E_UNEQUAL" part)

expr_trans_bool() is wrong and unnecessary.

[ Upstream commit 46edf4372e336ef3a61c3126e49518099d2e2e6d ]

Currently, the initial state of the "Save" button is always active.

If none of the CONFIG options are changed while loading the .config
file, the "Save" button should be greyed out.

This can be fixed by calling conf_read() after widget initialization.

In convention, short logs print the output file, not the input file.

Let's change the suffix for 'AS' since it assembles *.S into *.o.

[Before]

  NM      .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.syms

commit 9cc5f3bf63aa98bd7cc7ce8a8599077fde13283e upstream.

The compiled dtb files aren't executable, so install them with 0644 as their
permission mode, instead of defaulting to 0755 for the permission mode and
installing them with the executable bits set.

Some Linux distributions, including Debian, [1][2][3] already include fixes
in their kernel package build recipes to change the dtb file permissions to
0644 in their kernel packages.  These changes, when additionally propagated
into the long-term kernel versions, will allow such distributions to remove
their downstream fixes.

<title>kconfig: fix comparison to constant symbols, 'm', 'n'</title>

<id>urn:sha1:19e5a3d771fac8ef26d4c7eca77f8b063b983b2c</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit aabdc960a283ba78086b0bf66ee74326f49e218e ]

Currently, comparisons to 'm' or 'n' result in incorrect output.

[Test Code]

    config MODULES
            def_bool y
            modules

    config A
            def_tristate m

    config B
            def_bool A &gt; n

CONFIG_B is unset, while CONFIG_B=y is expected.

The reason for the issue is because Kconfig compares the tristate values
as strings.

Currently, the .type fields in the constant symbol definitions,
symbol_{yes,mod,no} are unspecified, i.e., S_UNKNOWN.

When expr_calc_value() evaluates 'A &gt; n', it checks the types of 'A' and
'n' to determine how to compare them.

The left-hand side, 'A', is a tristate symbol with a value of 'm', which
corresponds to a numeric value of 1. (Internally, 'y', 'm', and 'n' are
represented as 2, 1, and 0, respectively.)

The right-hand side, 'n', has an unknown type, so it is treated as the
string "n" during the comparison.

expr_calc_value() compares two values numerically only when both can
have numeric values. Otherwise, they are compared as strings.

    symbol    numeric value    ASCII code
    -------------------------------------
      y           2             0x79
      m           1             0x6d
      n           0             0x6e

'm' is greater than 'n' if compared numerically (since 1 is greater
than 0), but smaller than 'n' if compared as strings (since the ASCII
code 0x6d is smaller than 0x6e).

Specifying .type=S_TRISTATE for symbol_{yes,mod,no} fixes the above
test code.

Doing so, however, would cause a regression to the following test code.

[Test Code 2]

    config MODULES
            def_bool n
            modules

    config A
            def_tristate n

    config B
            def_bool A = m

You would get CONFIG_B=y, while CONFIG_B should not be set.

The reason is because sym_get_string_value() turns 'm' into 'n' when the
module feature is disabled. Consequently, expr_calc_value() evaluates
'A = n' instead of 'A = m'. This oddity has been hidden because the type
of 'm' was previously S_UNKNOWN instead of S_TRISTATE.

sym_get_string_value() should not tweak the string because the tristate
value has already been correctly calculated. There is no reason to
return the string "n" where its tristate value is mod.
