[ Upstream commit 7f1e541fc8d57a143dd5df1d0a1276046e08c083 ]

Sometimes we know that it's safe to do potentially out-of-bounds access
because we know it won't cross a page boundary.  Still, KASAN will
report this as a bug.

Add read_word_at_a_time() function which is supposed to be used in such
cases.  In read_word_at_a_time() KASAN performs relaxed check - only the
first byte of access is validated.

Instead of having two identical __read_once_size_nocheck() functions
with different attributes, consolidate all the difference in new macro
__no_kasan_or_inline and use it. No functional changes.

upstream commit fe0640eb30b7da261ae84d252ed9ed3c7e68dfd8.

&gt; Upstream commit 815f0ddb346c ("include/linux/compiler*.h: make

&gt; commits, and without those commits, it ends up introducing a problem
&gt; instead of fixing one.  So I recommend reverting that patch in 4.14,
&gt; which will enable old gcc to compile 4.14 again.  If I understand

&gt; the patch reverted, although I haven't tried to compile with clang.

[ Upstream commit fe0640eb30b7da261ae84d252ed9ed3c7e68dfd8 ]

Fixes the objtool warning seen with Clang:
arch/x86/mm/fault.o: warning: objtool: no_context()+0x220: unreachable
instruction

Fixes commit 815f0ddb346c ("include/linux/compiler*.h: make compiler-*.h
mutually exclusive")

Josh noted that the fallback definition was meant to work around a
pre-gcc-4.6 bug. GCC still needs to work around
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=82365, so compiler-gcc.h
defines its own version of unreachable().  Clang and ICC can use this
shared definition.

commit 2026d35741f2c3ece73c11eb7e4a15d7c2df9ebe upstream.

The function __builtin_expect returns long type (see the gcc
documentation), and so do macros likely and unlikely. Unfortunatelly, when
CONFIG_PROFILE_ANNOTATED_BRANCHES is selected, the macros likely and
unlikely expand to __branch_check__ and __branch_check__ truncates the
long type to int. This unintended truncation may cause bugs in various
kernel code (we found a bug in dm-writecache because of it), so it's
better to fix __branch_check__ to return long.

[ Upstream commit 173a3efd3edb2ef6ef07471397c5f542a360e9c1 ]

Looking at functions with large stack frames across all architectures
led me discovering that BUG() suffers from the same problem as
fortify_panic(), which I've added a workaround for already.

In short, variables that go out of scope by calling a noreturn function
or __builtin_unreachable() keep using stack space in functions
afterwards.

A workaround that was identified is to insert an empty assembler
statement just before calling the function that doesn't return.  I'm
adding a macro "barrier_before_unreachable()" to document this, and
insert calls to that in all instances of BUG() that currently suffer
from this problem.

The files that saw the largest change from this had these frame sizes
before, and much less with my patch:

  fs/ext4/inode.c:82:1: warning: the frame size of 1672 bytes is larger than 800 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
  fs/ext4/namei.c:434:1: warning: the frame size of 904 bytes is larger than 800 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
  fs/ext4/super.c:2279:1: warning: the frame size of 1160 bytes is larger than 800 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
  fs/ext4/xattr.c:146:1: warning: the frame size of 1168 bytes is larger than 800 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

  net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_lblcr.c:718:1: warning: the frame size of 960 bytes is larger than 800 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
  drivers/net/xen-netback/netback.c:1500:1: warning: the frame size of 1088 bytes is larger than 800 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

In case of ARC and CRIS, it turns out that the BUG() implementation
actually does return (or at least the compiler thinks it does),
resulting in lots of warnings about uninitialized variable use and
leaving noreturn functions, such as:

  block/cfq-iosched.c: In function 'cfq_async_queue_prio':
  block/cfq-iosched.c:3804:1: error: control reaches end of non-void function [-Werror=return-type]
  include/linux/dmaengine.h: In function 'dma_maxpq':
  include/linux/dmaengine.h:1123:1: error: control reaches end of non-void function [-Werror=return-type]

This makes them call __builtin_trap() instead, which should normally
dump the stack and kill the current process, like some of the other
architectures already do.

I tried adding barrier_before_unreachable() to panic() and
fortify_panic() as well, but that had very little effect, so I'm not
submitting that patch.

<title>linux/compiler.h: Split into compiler.h and compiler_types.h</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a9772285a7246c2a816da7f50c8c1e94b264770d</id>
<content type='text'>
commit d15155824c5014803d91b829736d249c500bdda6 upstream.

linux/compiler.h is included indirectly by linux/types.h via
uapi/linux/types.h -&gt; uapi/linux/posix_types.h -&gt; linux/stddef.h
-&gt; uapi/linux/stddef.h and is needed to provide a proper definition of
offsetof.

Unfortunately, compiler.h requires a definition of
smp_read_barrier_depends() for defining lockless_dereference() and soon
for defining READ_ONCE(), which means that all
users of READ_ONCE() will need to include asm/barrier.h to avoid splats
such as:

   In file included from include/uapi/linux/stddef.h:1:0,
                    from include/linux/stddef.h:4,
                    from arch/h8300/kernel/asm-offsets.c:11:
   include/linux/list.h: In function 'list_empty':
&gt;&gt; include/linux/compiler.h:343:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'smp_read_barrier_depends' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
     smp_read_barrier_depends(); /* Enforce dependency ordering from x */ \
     ^

A better alternative is to include asm/barrier.h in linux/compiler.h,
but this requires a type definition for "bool" on some architectures
(e.g. x86), which is defined later by linux/types.h. Type "bool" is also
used directly in linux/compiler.h, so the whole thing is pretty fragile.

This patch splits compiler.h in two: compiler_types.h contains type
annotations, definitions and the compiler-specific parts, whereas
compiler.h #includes compiler-types.h and additionally defines macros
such as {READ,WRITE.ACCESS}_ONCE().

uapi/linux/stddef.h and linux/linkage.h are then moved over to include
linux/compiler_types.h, which fixes the build for h8 and blackfin.

commit c2bc66082e1048c7573d72e62f597bdc5ce13fea upstream.

[ Note, this is a Git cherry-pick of the following commit:

    76ebbe78f739 ("locking/barriers: Add implicit smp_read_barrier_depends() to READ_ONCE()")

  ... for easier x86 PTI code testing and back-porting. ]

In preparation for the removal of lockless_dereference(), which is the
same as READ_ONCE() on all architectures other than Alpha, add an
implicit smp_read_barrier_depends() to READ_ONCE() so that it can be
used to head dependency chains on all architectures.

<title>objtool: Prevent GCC from merging annotate_unreachable(), take 2</title>

<content type='text'>
This fixes the following warning with GCC 4.6:

  mm/migrate.o: warning: objtool: migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page()+0x71: unreachable instruction

The problem is that the compiler merged identical annotate_unreachable()
inline asm blocks, resulting in a missing 'unreachable' annotation.

This problem happened before, and was partially fixed with:

  3d1e236022cc ("objtool: Prevent GCC from merging annotate_unreachable()")

That commit tried to ensure that each instance of the
annotate_unreachable() inline asm statement has a unique label.  It used
the __LINE__ macro to generate the label number.  However, even the line
number isn't necessarily unique when used in an inline function with
multiple callers (in this case, __alloc_pages_node()'s use of
VM_BUG_ON).
