[ Upstream commit 125b0bb95dd6bec81b806b997a4ccb026eeecf8f ]

We really don't want to do atomic_read() or anything like that, since we
already have the value, not the lock.  The whole point of this is that
we've loaded the lock from memory, and we want to check whether the
value we loaded was a locked one or not.

The main use of this is the lockref code, which loads both the lock and
the reference count in one atomic operation, and then works on that
combined value.  With the atomic_read(), the compiler would pointlessly
spill the value to the stack, in order to then be able to read it back
"atomically".

This is the qspinlock version of commit c6f4a9002252 ("asm-generic:
ticket-lock: Optimize arch_spin_value_unlocked()") which fixed this same
bug for ticket locks.

<title>word-at-a-time: use the same return type for has_zero regardless of endianness</title>

[ Upstream commit 79e8328e5acbe691bbde029a52c89d70dcbc22f3 ]

Compiling big-endian targets with Clang produces the diagnostic:

  fs/namei.c:2173:13: warning: use of bitwise '|' with boolean operands [-Wbitwise-instead-of-logical]
	} while (!(has_zero(a, &amp;adata, &amp;constants) | has_zero(b, &amp;bdata, &amp;constants)));
	          ~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                                               ||
  fs/namei.c:2173:13: note: cast one or both operands to int to silence this warning

It appears that when has_zero was introduced, two definitions were
produced with different signatures (in particular different return
types).

Looking at the usage in hash_name() in fs/namei.c, I suspect that
has_zero() is meant to be invoked twice per while loop iteration; using
logical-or would not update `bdata` when `a` did not have zeros.  So I
think it's preferred to always return an unsigned long rather than a
bool than update the while loop in hash_name() to use a logical-or
rather than bitwise-or.

<title>arch: fix broken BuildID for arm64 and riscv</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 99cb0d917ffa1ab628bb67364ca9b162c07699b1 upstream.

Dennis Gilmore reports that the BuildID is missing in the arm64 vmlinux
since commit 994b7ac1697b ("arm64: remove special treatment for the
link order of head.o").

The issue is that the type of .notes section, which contains the BuildID,
changed from NOTES to PROGBITS.

Ard Biesheuvel figured out that whichever object gets linked first gets
to decide the type of a section. The PROGBITS type is the result of the
compiler emitting .note.GNU-stack as PROGBITS rather than NOTE.

While Ard provided a fix for arm64, I want to fix this globally because
the same issue is happening on riscv since commit 2348e6bf4421 ("riscv:
remove special treatment for the link order of head.o"). This problem
will happen in general for other architectures if they start to drop
unneeded entries from scripts/head-object-list.txt.

Discard .note.GNU-stack in include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h.

[Tom: stable backport 5.15.y, 5.10.y, 5.4.y]

Though the above "Fixes:" commits are not in this kernel, the conditions
which lead to a missing Build ID in arm64 vmlinux are similar.

Evidence points to these conditions:
1. ld version &gt; 2.36 (exact binutils commit documented in a494398bde27)
2. first object which gets linked (head.o) has a PROGBITS .note.GNU-stack segment

These conditions can be observed when:
- 5.15.60+ OR 5.10.136+ OR 5.4.210+
- AND ld version &gt; 2.36
- AND arch=arm64
- AND CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y

There are notable differences in the vmlinux elf files produced
before(bad) and after(good) applying this series.

Good: p_type:PT_NOTE segment exists.
 Bad: p_type:PT_NOTE segment is missing.

Good: sh_name_str:.notes section has sh_type:SHT_NOTE
 Bad: sh_name_str:.notes section has sh_type:SHT_PROGBITS

`readelf -n` (as of v2.40) searches for Build Id
by processing only the very first note in sh_type:SHT_NOTE sections.

This was previously bisected to the stable backport of 0d362be5b142.
Follow-up experiments were discussed here: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221221235413.xaisboqmr7dkqwn6@oracle.com/
which strongly hints at condition 2.

<title>x86, vmlinux.lds: Add RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT to generic DISCARDS</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 84d5f77fc2ee4e010c2c037750e32f06e55224b0 upstream.

In the x86 kernel, .exit.text and .exit.data sections are discarded at
runtime, not by the linker. Add RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT to generic DISCARDS
and define it in the x86 kernel linker script to keep them.

The sections are added before the DISCARD directive so document here
only the situation explicitly as this change doesn't have any effect on
the generated kernel. Also, other architectures like ARM64 will use it
too so generalize the approach with the RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT define.

commit 2ba99c5e08812494bc57f319fb562f527d9bacd8 upstream.

Since commit 70cbc3cc78a99 ("mm: gup: fix the fast GUP race against THP
collapse"), the lockless_pages_from_mm() fastpath rechecks the pmd_t to
ensure that the page table was not removed by khugepaged in between.

However, lockless_pages_from_mm() still requires that the page table is
not concurrently freed.  Fix it by sending IPIs (if the architecture uses
semi-RCU-style page table freeing) before freeing/reusing page tables.

Commit d4c639990036 ("vmlinux.lds.h: Avoid orphan section with !SMP")
fixed an orphan section warning by adding the '.data..decrypted' section
to the linker script under the PERCPU_DECRYPTED_SECTION define but that
placement introduced a panic with !SMP, as the percpu sections are not
instantiated with that configuration so attempting to access variables
defined with DEFINE_PER_CPU_DECRYPTED() will result in a page fault.

Move the '.data..decrypted' section to the DATA_MAIN define so that the
variables in it are properly instantiated at boot time with
CONFIG_SMP=n.

<content type='text'>
commit 0c7d7cc2b4fe2e74ef8728f030f0f1674f9f6aee upstream.

There are two problems with the current code of memory_intersects:

First, it doesn't check whether the region (begin, end) falls inside the
region (virt, vend), that is (virt &lt; begin &amp;&amp; vend &gt; end).

The second problem is if vend is equal to begin, it will return true but
this is wrong since vend (virt + size) is not the last address of the
memory region but (virt + size -1) is.  The wrong determination will
trigger the misreporting when the function check_for_illegal_area calls
memory_intersects to check if the dma region intersects with stext region.

The misreporting is as below (stext is at 0x80100000):
 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 77 at kernel/dma/debug.c:1073 check_for_illegal_area+0x130/0x168

Refactor memory_intersects to fix the two problems above.

Before the 1d7db834a027e ("dma-debug: use memory_intersects()
directly"), memory_intersects is called only by printk_late_init:

printk_late_init -&gt; init_section_intersects -&gt;memory_intersects.

There were few places where memory_intersects was called.

When commit 1d7db834a027e ("dma-debug: use memory_intersects()
directly") was merged and CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG is enabled, the DMA
subsystem uses it to check for an illegal area and the calltrace above
is triggered.

commit 415d832497098030241605c52ea83d4e2cfa7879 upstream.

These operations are documented as always ordered in
include/asm-generic/bitops/instrumented-atomic.h, and producer-consumer
type use cases where one side needs to ensure a flag is left pending
after some shared data was updated rely on this ordering, even in the
failure case.

This is the case with the workqueue code, which currently suffers from a
reproducible ordering violation on Apple M1 platforms (which are
notoriously out-of-order) that ends up causing the TTY layer to fail to
deliver data to userspace properly under the right conditions.  This
change fixes that bug.

Change the documentation to restrict the "no order on failure" story to
the _lock() variant (for which it makes sense), and remove the
early-exit from the generic implementation, which is what causes the
missing barrier semantics in that case.  Without this, the remaining
atomic op is fully ordered (including on ARM64 LSE, as of recent
versions of the architecture spec).
