<id>urn:sha1:7ed58960005f770107ab9687a0fcac29bf5564a2</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 33f0467fe06934d5e4ea6e24ce2b9c65ce618e26 upstream.

Kernel test robot reported a kallsyms_test failure when clang lto is
enabled (thin or full) and CONFIG_KALLSYMS_SELFTEST is also enabled.
I can reproduce in my local environment with the following error message
with thin lto:
  [    1.877897] kallsyms_selftest: Test for 1750th symbol failed: (tsc_cs_mark_unstable) addr=ffffffff81038090
  [    1.877901] kallsyms_selftest: abort

It appears that commit 8cc32a9bbf29 ("kallsyms: strip LTO-only suffixes
from promoted global functions") caused the failure. Commit 8cc32a9bbf29
changed cleanup_symbol_name() based on ".llvm." instead of '.' where
".llvm." is appended to a before-lto-optimization local symbol name.
We need to propagate such knowledge in kallsyms_selftest.c as well.

Further more, compare_symbol_name() in kallsyms.c needs change as well.
In scripts/kallsyms.c, kallsyms_names and kallsyms_seqs_of_names are used
to record symbol names themselves and index to symbol names respectively.
For example:
  kallsyms_names:
    ...
    __amd_smn_rw._entry       &lt;== seq 1000
    __amd_smn_rw._entry.5     &lt;== seq 1001
    __amd_smn_rw.llvm.&lt;hash&gt;  &lt;== seq 1002
    ...

kallsyms_seqs_of_names are sorted based on cleanup_symbol_name() through, so
the order in kallsyms_seqs_of_names actually has

  index 1000:   seq 1002   &lt;== __amd_smn_rw.llvm.&lt;hash&gt; (actual symbol comparison using '__amd_smn_rw')
  index 1001:   seq 1000   &lt;== __amd_smn_rw._entry
  index 1002:   seq 1001   &lt;== __amd_smn_rw._entry.5

Let us say at a particular point, at index 1000, symbol '__amd_smn_rw.llvm.&lt;hash&gt;'
is comparing to '__amd_smn_rw._entry' where '__amd_smn_rw._entry' is the one to
search e.g., with function kallsyms_on_each_match_symbol(). The current implementation
will find out '__amd_smn_rw._entry' is less than '__amd_smn_rw.llvm.&lt;hash&gt;' and
then continue to search e.g., index 999 and never found a match although the actual
index 1001 is a match.

To fix this issue, let us do cleanup_symbol_name() first and then do comparison.
In the above case, comparing '__amd_smn_rw' vs '__amd_smn_rw._entry' and
'__amd_smn_rw._entry' being greater than '__amd_smn_rw', the next comparison will
be &gt; index 1000 and eventually index 1001 will be hit an a match is found.

For any symbols not having '.llvm.' substr, there is no functionality change
for compare_symbol_name().

<title>lockdep: fix static memory detection even more</title>

<id>urn:sha1:23520b4443fcf181356cf1354eae86a4967e71a2</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 0a6b58c5cd0dfd7961e725212f0fc8dfc5d96195 upstream.

On the parisc architecture, lockdep reports for all static objects which
are in the __initdata section (e.g. "setup_done" in devtmpfs,
"kthreadd_done" in init/main.c) this warning:

	INFO: trying to register non-static key.

The warning itself is wrong, because those objects are in the __initdata
section, but the section itself is on parisc outside of range from
_stext to _end, which is why the static_obj() functions returns a wrong
answer.

While fixing this issue, I noticed that the whole existing check can
be simplified a lot.
Instead of checking against the _stext and _end symbols (which include
code areas too) just check for the .data and .bss segments (since we check a
data object). This can be done with the existing is_kernel_core_data()
macro.

In addition objects in the __initdata section can be checked with
init_section_contains(), and is_kernel_rodata() allows keys to be in the
_ro_after_init section.

This partly reverts and simplifies commit bac59d18c701 ("x86/setup: Fix static
memory detection").

<title>ipv6: remove hard coded limitation on ipv6_pinfo</title>

<content type='text'>
commit f5f80e32de12fad2813d37270e8364a03e6d3ef0 upstream.

IPv6 inet sockets are supposed to have a "struct ipv6_pinfo"
field at the end of their definition, so that inet6_sk_generic()
can derive from socket size the offset of the "struct ipv6_pinfo".

This is very fragile, and prevents adding bigger alignment
in sockets, because inet6_sk_generic() does not work
if the compiler adds padding after the ipv6_pinfo component.

We are currently working on a patch series to reorganize
TCP structures for better data locality and found issues
similar to the one fixed in commit f5d547676ca0
("tcp: fix tcp_inet6_sk() for 32bit kernels")

Alternative would be to force an alignment on "struct ipv6_pinfo",
greater or equal to __alignof__(any ipv6 sock) to ensure there is
no padding. This does not look great.

commit a419beac4a070aff63c520f36ebf7cb8a76a8ae5 upstream.

Using kmalloc() to allocate the decompression workspace for zstd may
trigger the following warning when large modules are loaded (i.e., xfs):

However, continuous physical memory does not seem to be required in
module_zstd_decompress(), so use vmalloc() instead, to prevent the
warning and avoid potential failures at loading compressed modules.

commit a6846234f45801441f0e31a8b37f901ef0abd2df upstream.

Today module_frob_arch_sections() spots init sections from their
'init' prefix, and uses this to keep the init PLTs separate from the rest.

get_module_plt() uses within_module_init() to determine if a
location is in the init text or not, but this depends on whether
core code thought this was an init section.

Naturally the logic is different.

module_init_layout_section() groups the init and exit text together if
module unloading is disabled, as the exit code will never run. The result
is kernels with this configuration can't load all their modules because
there are not enough PLTs for the combined init+exit section.

A previous patch exposed module_init_layout_section(), use that so the
logic is the same.

commit 2abcc4b5a64a65a2d2287ba0be5c2871c1552416 upstream.

module_init_layout_section() choses whether the core module loader
considers a section as init or not. This affects the placement of the
exit section when module unloading is disabled. This code will never run,
so it can be free()d once the module has been initialised.

arm and arm64 need to count the number of PLTs they need before applying
relocations based on the section name. The init PLTs are stored separately
so they can be free()d. arm and arm64 both use within_module_init() to
decide which list of PLTs to use when applying the relocation.

Because within_module_init()'s behaviour changes when module unloading
is disabled, both architecture would need to take this into account when
counting the PLTs.

Today neither architecture does this, meaning when module unloading is
disabled there are insufficient PLTs in the init section to load some
modules, resulting in warnings:

commit 5f641174a12b8a876a4101201a21ef4675ecc014 upstream.

The `nocrt` module parameter has no code associated with it and does
nothing.  As `crt=-1` has same functionality as what nocrt should be
doing drop `nocrt` and associated documentation.

This should fix a quirk for Gigabyte GA-7ZX that used `nocrt` and
thus didn't function properly.

Fixes: 8c99fdce3078 ("ACPI: thermal: set "thermal.nocrt" via DMI on Gigabyte GA-7ZX")
