[ Upstream commit 7912405643a14b527cd4a4f33c1d4392da900888 ]

The compiler can fully inline the actual handler function of an interrupt
entry into the .irqentry.text entry point. If such a function contains an
access which has an exception table entry, modpost complains about a
section mismatch:

  WARNING: vmlinux.o(__ex_table+0x447c): Section mismatch in reference ...

  The relocation at __ex_table+0x447c references section ".irqentry.text"
  which is not in the list of authorized sections.

Add .irqentry.text to OTHER_SECTIONS to cure the issue.

[ Upstream commit 19331e84c3873256537d446afec1f6c507f8c4ef ]

Commit 6c730bfc894f ("modpost: handle -ffunction-sections") added
".text.*" to the OTHER_TEXT_SECTIONS macro to fix certain section
mismatch warnings. Unfortunately, this makes it impossible for modpost
to warn about section mismatches with LTO, which implies
'-ffunction-sections', as all functions are put in their own
'.text.&lt;func_name&gt;' sections, which may still reference functions in
sections they are not supposed to, such as __init.

Fix this by moving ".text.*" into TEXT_SECTIONS, so that configurations
with '-ffunction-sections' will see warnings about mismatched sections.

[ Upstream commit 0c3e091319e4748cb36ac9a50848903dc6f54054 ]

This function contains multiple bugs after the following commits:

 - ac551828993e ("modpost: i2c aliases need no trailing wildcard")
 - 6543becf26ff ("mod/file2alias: make modalias generation safe for cross compiling")

Commit ac551828993e inserted the following code to do_eisa_entry():

    else
            strcat(alias, "*");

This is incorrect because 'alias' is uninitialized. If it is not
NULL-terminated, strcat() could cause a buffer overrun.

Even if 'alias' happens to be zero-filled, it would output:

    MODULE_ALIAS("*");

This would match anything. As a result, the module could be loaded by
any unrelated uevent from an unrelated subsystem.

Commit ac551828993e introduced another bug.            

Prior to that commit, the conditional check was:

    if (eisa-&gt;sig[0])

This checked if the first character of eisa_device_id::sig was not '\0'.

However, commit ac551828993e changed it as follows:

    if (sig[0])

sig[0] is NOT the first character of the eisa_device_id::sig. The
type of 'sig' is 'char (*)[8]', meaning that the type of 'sig[0]' is
'char [8]' instead of 'char'. 'sig[0]' and 'symval' refer to the same
address, which never becomes NULL.

The correct conversion would have been:

    if ((*sig)[0])

However, this if-conditional was meaningless because the earlier change
in commit ac551828993e was incorrect.

This commit removes the entire incorrect code, which should never have
been executed.

The buffer overflow is caused by the following line:

[ 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:sha1:84bb2f0c98f5e4c71c3f77389ff0d730b3bdb9e0</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>

<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.

[ Upstream commit 9852f47ac7c993990317570ff125e30ad901e213 ]

After [1] in upstream LLVM, ld.lld's version output became slightly
different when the cmake configuration option LLVM_APPEND_VC_REV is
disabled.

Before:

  Debian LLD 19.0.0 (compatible with GNU linkers)

After:

  Debian LLD 19.0.0, compatible with GNU linkers

This results in ld-version.sh failing with

  scripts/ld-version.sh: 18: arithmetic expression: expecting EOF: "10000 * 19 + 100 * 0 + 0,"

because the trailing comma is included in the patch level part of the
expression. While [1] has been partially reverted in [2] to avoid this
breakage (as it impacts the configuration stage and it is present in all
LTS branches), it would be good to make ld-version.sh more robust
against such miniscule changes like this one.

Use POSIX shell parameter expansion [3] to remove the largest suffix
after just numbers and periods, replacing of the current removal of
everything after a hyphen. ld-version.sh continues to work for a number
of distributions (Arch Linux, Debian, and Fedora) and the kernel.org
toolchains and no longer errors on a version of ld.lld with [1].
