[ Upstream commit 6ae0042f4d3f331e841495eb0a3d51598e593ec2 ]

Subshell evaluations are not exempt from errexit, so if a command is
not available, `which` will fail and exit the script as a whole.
This causes the helpful error messages to not be printed if they are
tacked on using a `$?` comparison.

Resolve the issue by using chains of logical operators, which are not
subject to the effects of errexit.

commit 8f6629c004b193d23612641c3607e785819e97ab upstream.

-Wenum-enum-conversion was strengthened in clang-19 to warn for C, which
caused the kernel to move it to W=1 in commit 75b5ab134bb5 ("kbuild:
Move -Wenum-{compare-conditional,enum-conversion} into W=1") because
there were numerous instances that would break builds with -Werror.
Unfortunately, this is not a full solution, as more and more developers,
subsystems, and distributors are building with W=1 as well, so they
continue to see the numerous instances of this warning.

Since the move to W=1, there have not been many new instances that have
appeared through various build reports and the ones that have appeared
seem to be following similar existing patterns, suggesting that most
instances of this warning will not be real issues. The only alternatives
for silencing this warning are adding casts (which is generally seen as
an ugly practice) or refactoring the enums to macro defines or a unified
enum (which may be undesirable because of type safety in other parts of
the code).

Move the warning to W=2, where warnings that occur frequently but may be
relevant should reside.

<title>genksyms: fix memory leak when the same symbol is read from *.symref file</title>

[ Upstream commit be2fa44b5180a1f021efb40c55fdf63c249c3209 ]

When a symbol that is already registered is read again from *.symref
file, __add_symbol() removes the previous one from the hash table without
freeing it.

[Test Case]

  $ cat foo.c
  #include &lt;linux/export.h&gt;
  void foo(void);
  void foo(void) {}
  EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);

  $ cat foo.symref
  foo void foo ( void )
  foo void foo ( void )

When a symbol is removed from the hash table, it must be freed along
with its -&gt;name and -&gt;defn members. However, sym-&gt;name cannot be freed
because it is sometimes shared with node-&gt;string, but not always. If
sym-&gt;name and node-&gt;string share the same memory, free(sym-&gt;name) could
lead to a double-free bug.

To resolve this issue, always assign a strdup'ed string to sym-&gt;name.

[ Upstream commit 45c9c4101d3d2fdfa00852274bbebba65fcc3cf2 ]

When a symbol that is already registered is added again, __add_symbol()
returns without freeing the symbol definition, making it unreachable.

The following test cases demonstrate different memory leak points.

[Test Case 1]

Forward declaration with exactly the same definition

  $ cat foo.c
  #include &lt;linux/export.h&gt;
  void foo(void);
  void foo(void) {}
  EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);

[Test Case 2]

Forward declaration with a different definition (e.g. attribute)

  $ cat foo.c
  #include &lt;linux/export.h&gt;
  void foo(void);
  __attribute__((__section__(".ref.text"))) void foo(void) {}
  EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);

[Test Case 3]

Preserving an overridden symbol (compile with KBUILD_PRESERVE=1)

  $ cat foo.c
  #include &lt;linux/export.h&gt;
  void foo(void);
  void foo(void) { }
  EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);

  $ cat foo.symref
  override foo void foo ( int )

The memory leaks in Test Case 1 and 2 have existed since the introduction
of genksyms into the kernel tree. [1]

The memory leak in Test Case 3 was introduced by commit 5dae9a550a74
("genksyms: allow to ignore symbol checksum changes").

When multiple init_declarators are reduced to an init_declarator_list,
the decl_spec must be duplicated. Otherwise, the following Test Case 4
would result in a double-free bug.

[Test Case 4]

  $ cat foo.c
  #include &lt;linux/export.h&gt;

  extern int foo, bar;

  int foo, bar;
  EXPORT_SYMBOL(foo);

In this case, 'foo' and 'bar' share the same decl_spec, 'int'. It must
be unshared before being passed to add_symbol().

[ Upstream commit 77dc55a978e69625f9718460012e5ef0172dc4de ]

When building a 64-bit kernel on a 32-bit build host, incorrect
input MODULE_ALIAS() entries may be generated.

For example, when compiling a 64-bit kernel with CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV=m
on a 64-bit build machine, you will get the correct output:

  $ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/input/mousedev.mod.c
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*2,*k*110,*r*0,*1,*a*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*2,*k*r*8,*a*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*3,*k*14A,*r*a*0,*1,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*3,*k*145,*r*a*0,*1,*18,*1C,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*3,*k*110,*r*a*0,*1,*m*l*s*f*w*");

However, building the same kernel on a 32-bit machine results in
incorrect output:

  $ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/input/mousedev.mod.c
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*2,*k*110,*130,*r*0,*1,*a*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*2,*k*r*8,*a*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*3,*k*14A,*16A,*r*a*0,*1,*20,*21,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*3,*k*145,*165,*r*a*0,*1,*18,*1C,*20,*21,*38,*3C,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*3,*k*110,*130,*r*a*0,*1,*20,*21,*m*l*s*f*w*");

A similar issue occurs with CONFIG_INPUT_JOYDEV=m. On a 64-bit build
machine, the output is:

  $ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/input/joydev.mod.c
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*3,*k*r*a*0,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*3,*k*r*a*2,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*3,*k*r*a*8,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*3,*k*r*a*6,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*k*120,*r*a*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*k*130,*r*a*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*k*2C0,*r*a*m*l*s*f*w*");

However, on a 32-bit machine, the output is incorrect:

  $ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/input/joydev.mod.c
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*3,*k*r*a*0,*20,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*3,*k*r*a*2,*22,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*3,*k*r*a*8,*28,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*3,*k*r*a*6,*26,*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*k*11F,*13F,*r*a*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*k*11F,*13F,*r*a*m*l*s*f*w*");
  MODULE_ALIAS("input:b*v*p*e*-e*1,*k*2C0,*2E0,*r*a*m*l*s*f*w*");

When building a 64-bit kernel, BITS_PER_LONG is defined as 64. However,
on a 32-bit build machine, the constant 1L is a signed 32-bit value.
Left-shifting it beyond 32 bits causes wraparound, and shifting by 31
or 63 bits makes it a negative value.

The fix in commit e0e92632715f ("[PATCH] PATCH: 1 line 2.6.18 bugfix:
modpost-64bit-fix.patch") is incorrect; it only addresses cases where
a 64-bit kernel is built on a 64-bit build machine, overlooking cases
on a 32-bit build machine.

Using 1ULL ensures a 64-bit width on both 32-bit and 64-bit machines,
avoiding the wraparound issue.

commit 7912405643a14b527cd4a4f33c1d4392da900888 upstream.

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 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.

`hostname` may not be present on some systems as it's not mandated by
POSIX/SUSv4. This isn't just a theoretical problem: on Arch Linux,
`hostname` is provided by `inetutils`, which isn't part of the base
distribution.

Use `uname -n` instead, which is more likely to be available (and

[ 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.
