[ Upstream commit e463a09af2f0677b9485a7e8e4e70b396b2ffb6f ]

Make use of an upcoming GCC feature to mitigate
straight-line-speculation for x86:

  https://gcc.gnu.org/g:53a643f8568067d7700a9f2facc8ba39974973d3
  https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=102952
  https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52323

It's built tested on x86_64-allyesconfig using GCC-12 and GCC-11.

Maintenance overhead of this should be fairly low due to objtool
validation.

Size overhead of all these additional int3 instructions comes to:

     text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  22267751	6933356	2011368	31212475	1dc43bb	defconfig-build/vmlinux
  22804126	6933356	1470696	31208178	1dc32f2	defconfig-build/vmlinux.sls

Or roughly 2.4% additional text.

[ Upstream commit 8f0c32c788fffa8e88f995372415864039347c8a ]

Commit b1a1a1a09b46 ("kbuild: lto: postpone objtool") moved objtool_args
to Makefile.lib, so the arguments can be used in Makefile.modfinal as
well as Makefile.build.

With commit 850ded46c642 ("kbuild: Fix TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS with
LTO_CLANG"), module LTO linking came back to scripts/Makefile.build
again.

So, there is no more reason to keep objtool_args in a separate file.

Get it back to the original place, close to the objtool command.

Remove the stale comment too.

<id>urn:sha1:bd17422b9b675414d0f1a5e070d42fe85b785cd6</id>
<content type='text'>
commit c40160f2998c897231f8454bf797558d30a20375 upstream.

While the latent entropy plugin mostly doesn't derive entropy from
get_random_const() for measuring the call graph, when __latent_entropy is
applied to a constant, then it's initialized statically to output from
get_random_const(). In that case, this data is derived from a 64-bit
seed, which means a buffer of 512 bits doesn't really have that amount
of compile-time entropy.

This patch fixes that shortcoming by just buffering chunks of
/dev/urandom output and doling it out as requested.

At the same time, it's important that we don't break the use of
-frandom-seed, for people who want the runtime benefits of the latent
entropy plugin, while still having compile-time determinism. In that
case, we detect whether gcc's set_random_seed() has been called by
making a call to get_random_seed(noinit=true) in the plugin init
function, which is called after set_random_seed() is called but before
anything that calls get_random_seed(noinit=false), and seeing if it's
zero or not. If it's not zero, we're in deterministic mode, and so we
just generate numbers with a basic xorshift prng.

Note that we don't detect if -frandom-seed is being used using the
documented local_tick variable, because it's assigned via:
   local_tick = (unsigned) tv.tv_sec * 1000 + tv.tv_usec / 1000;
which may well overflow and become -1 on its own, and so isn't
reliable: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=105171

[kees: The 256 byte rnd_buf size was chosen based on average (250),
 median (64), and std deviation (575) bytes of used entropy for a
 defconfig x86_64 build]

commit 69d0db01e210e07fe915e5da91b54a867cda040f upstream.

The object-size sanitizer is redundant to -Warray-bounds, and
inappropriately performs its checks at run-time when all information
needed for the evaluation is available at compile-time, making it quite
difficult to use:

  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214861

With -Warray-bounds almost enabled globally, it doesn't make sense to
keep this around.

This log message was accidentally chopped off.

precisely followed my suggestion [1].

I just used "..." because I was too lazy to type the sentence fully.

<title>atomics: Fix atomic64_{read_acquire,set_release} fallbacks</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit dc1b4df09acdca7a89806b28f235cd6d8dcd3d24 ]

Arnd reports that on 32-bit architectures, the fallbacks for
atomic64_read_acquire() and atomic64_set_release() are broken as they
use smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release() respectively, which do
not work on types larger than the native word size.

Since those contain compiletime_assert_atomic_type(), any attempt to use
those fallbacks will result in a build-time error. e.g. with the
following added to arch/arm/kernel/setup.c:

| void test_atomic64(atomic64_t *v)
| {
|        atomic64_set_release(v, 5);
|        atomic64_read_acquire(v);
| }

The compiler will complain as follows:

| In file included from &lt;command-line&gt;:
| In function 'arch_atomic64_set_release',
|     inlined from 'test_atomic64' at ./include/linux/atomic/atomic-instrumented.h:669:2:

| make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:550: arch/arm/kernel] Error 2
| make: *** [Makefile:1831: arch/arm] Error 2

Fix this by only using smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release() for
native atomic types, and otherwise falling back to the regular barriers
necessary for acquire/release semantics, as we do in the more generic
acquire and release fallbacks.

Since the fallback templates are used to generate the atomic64_*() and
atomic_*() operations, the __native_word() check is added to both. For
the atomic_*() operations, which are always 32-bit, the __native_word()
check is redundant but not harmful, as it is always true.

For the example above this works as expected on 32-bit, e.g. for arm
multi_v7_defconfig:

| &lt;test_atomic64&gt;:
|         push    {r4, r5}
|         dmb     ish
|         pldw    [r0]
|         mov     r2, #5
|         mov     r3, #0
|         ldrexd  r4, [r0]
|         strexd  r4, r2, [r0]
|         teq     r4, #0
|         bne     484 &lt;test_atomic64+0x14&gt;
|         ldrexd  r2, [r0]
|         dmb     ish
|         pop     {r4, r5}
|         bx      lr

... and also on 64-bit, e.g. for arm64 defconfig:

| &lt;test_atomic64&gt;:
|         bti     c
|         paciasp
|         mov     x1, #0x5
|         stlr    x1, [x0]
|         ldar    x0, [x0]
|         autiasp

[ Upstream commit 8a4c5b2a6d8ea079fa36034e8167de87ab6f8880 ]

The 'shell' built-in only returns the first 256 bytes of the command's
output. In some cases, 'shell' is used to return a path; by bumping up
the buffer size to 4096 this lets us capture up to PATH_MAX.

The specific case where I ran into this was due to commit 1e860048c53e
("gcc-plugins: simplify GCC plugin-dev capability test"). After this
change, we now use `$(shell,$(CC) -print-file-name=plugin)` to return
a path; if the gcc path is particularly long, then the path ends up
truncated at the 256 byte mark, which makes the HAVE_GCC_PLUGINS
depends test always fail.
