<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]

This log message was accidentally chopped off.

I was wondering why this happened, but checking the ML log, Mark
precisely followed my suggestion [1].

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

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

<id>urn:sha1:781c262033c21967add4da48a858a9875f18138f</id>
<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:

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
|         ret

Since STRING_CST may not be NUL terminated, strncmp() was used for check
for equality. However, this may lead to mismatches for longer section
names where the start matches the tested-for string. Test for exact
equality by checking for the presences of NUL termination.

-Wunaligned-access is a new warning in clang that is default enabled for
arm and arm64 under certain circumstances within the clang frontend (see
LLVM commit below). On v5.17-rc2, an ARCH=arm allmodconfig build shows
1284 total/70 unique instances of this warning (most of the instances
are in header files), which is quite noisy.

To keep a normal build green through CONFIG_WERROR, only show this
warning with W=1, which will allow automated build systems to catch new
instances of the warning so that the total number can be driven down to
zero eventually since catching unaligned accesses at compile time would
be generally useful.

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.

<title>ftrace: Have architectures opt-in for mcount build time sorting</title>

<content type='text'>
First S390 complained that the sorting of the mcount sections at build
time caused the kernel to crash on their architecture. Now PowerPC is
complaining about it too. And also ARM64 appears to be having issues.

It may be necessary to also update the relocation table for the values
in the mcount table. Not only do we have to sort the table, but also
update the relocations that may be applied to the items in the table.

If the system is not relocatable, then it is fine to sort, but if it is,
some architectures may have issues (although x86 does not as it shifts all
addresses the same).

Add a HAVE_BUILDTIME_MCOUNT_SORT that an architecture can set to say it is
safe to do the sorting at build time.

Also update the config to compile in build time sorting in the sorttable
code in scripts/ to depend on CONFIG_BUILDTIME_MCOUNT_SORT.
