commit 8933cf4651e02853ca679be7b2d978dfcdcc5e0c upstream.

On RISC-V and arm64, and presumably x86, if CFI_CLANG is enabled,
loading a rust module will trigger a kernel panic. Support for
sanitisers, including kcfi (CFI_CLANG), is in the works, but for now
they're nightly-only options in rustc. Make RUST depend on !CFI_CLANG
to prevent configuring a kernel without symmetrical support for kfi.

[ Matthew Maurer writes [1]:

    This patch is fine by me - the last patch needed for KCFI to be
    functional in Rust just landed upstream last night, so we should
    revisit this (in the form of enabling it) once we move to
    `rustc-1.79.0` or later.

  Ramon de C Valle also gave feedback [2] on the status of KCFI for
  Rust and created a tracking issue [3] in upstream Rust.   - Miguel ]

commit 7d49f53af4b988b188d3932deac2c9c80fd7d9ce upstream.

This was originally part of commit 4b9a68f2e59a0 ("rust: add support for
static synchronisation primitives") from the old Rust branch, which used
module constructors to initialize globals containing various
synchronisation primitives with pin-init. That commit has never been
upstreamed, but the `select CONSTRUCTORS` statement ended up being
included in the patch that initially added Rust support to the Linux
Kernel.

We are not using module constructors, so let's remove the select.

commit 46dad3c1e57897ab9228332f03e1c14798d2d3b9 upstream.

We allocate memory of size 'xlen + strlen(boot_command_line) + 1' for
static_command_line, but the strings copied into static_command_line are
extra_command_line and command_line, rather than extra_command_line and
boot_command_line.

When strlen(command_line) &gt; strlen(boot_command_line), static_command_line
will overflow.

This patch just recovers strlen(command_line) which was miss-consolidated
with strlen(boot_command_line) in the commit f5c7310ac73e ("init/main: add
checks for the return value of memblock_alloc*()")

commit c722cea208789d9e2660992bcd05fb9fac3adb56 upstream.

If the "bootconfig" kernel command-line argument was specified or if
the kernel was built with CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG_FORCE, but if there are
no embedded kernel parameter, omit the "# Parameters from bootloader:"
comment from the /proc/bootconfig file.  This will cause automation
to fall back to the /proc/cmdline file, which will be identical to the
comment in this no-embedded-kernel-parameters case.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 8f8cd6c0a43ed637e620bbe45a8d0e0c2f4d5130 ]

The synchronization here is to ensure the ordering of freeing of a module
init so that it happens before W+X checking.  It is worth noting it is not
that the freeing was not happening, it is just that our sanity checkers
raced against the permission checkers which assume init memory is already
gone.

Commit 1a7b7d922081 ("modules: Use vmalloc special flag") moved calling
do_free_init() into a global workqueue instead of relying on it being
called through call_rcu(..., do_free_init), which used to allowed us call
do_free_init() asynchronously after the end of a subsequent grace period.
The move to a global workqueue broke the gaurantees for code which needed
to be sure the do_free_init() would complete with rcu_barrier().  To fix
this callers which used to rely on rcu_barrier() must now instead use
flush_work(&amp;init_free_wq).

Without this fix, we still could encounter false positive reports in W+X
checking since the rcu_barrier() here can not ensure the ordering now.

Even worse, the rcu_barrier() can introduce significant delay.  Eric
Chanudet reported that the rcu_barrier introduces ~0.1s delay on a
PREEMPT_RT kernel.

  [    0.291444] Freeing unused kernel memory: 5568K
  [    0.402442] Run /sbin/init as init process

With this fix, the above delay can be eliminated.

which is getting reported in a few places[1] still:

<title>update workarounds for gcc "asm goto" issue</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.stealer.net/cgit.cgi/user/sven/linux.git/commit/?id=68fb3ca0e408e00db1c3f8fccdfa19e274c033be'/>
<id>urn:sha1:68fb3ca0e408e00db1c3f8fccdfa19e274c033be</id>
<content type='text'>
In commit 4356e9f841f7 ("work around gcc bugs with 'asm goto' with
outputs") I did the gcc workaround unconditionally, because the cause of
the bad code generation wasn't entirely clear.

In the meantime, Jakub Jelinek debugged the issue, and has come up with
a fix in gcc [2], which also got backported to the still maintained
branches of gcc-11, gcc-12 and gcc-13.

Note that while the fix technically wasn't in the original gcc-14
branch, Jakub says:

 "while it is true that no GCC 14 snapshots until today (or whenever the
  fix will be committed) have the fix, for GCC trunk it is up to the
  distros to use the latest snapshot if they use it at all and would
  allow better testing of the kernel code without the workaround, so
  that if there are other issues they won't be discovered years later.
  Most userland code doesn't actually use asm goto with outputs..."

so we will consider gcc-14 to be fixed - if somebody is using gcc
snapshots of the gcc-14 before the fix, they should upgrade.

Note that while the bug goes back to gcc-11, in practice other gcc
changes seem to have effectively hidden it since gcc-12.1 as per a
bisect by Jakub.  So even a gcc-14 snapshot without the fix likely
doesn't show actual problems.

Also, make the default 'asm_goto_output()' macro mark the asm as
volatile by hand, because of an unrelated gcc issue [1] where it doesn't
match the documented behavior ("asm goto is always volatile").

<title>Kconfig: Disable -Wstringop-overflow for GCC globally</title>

It turns out it was never just gcc-11 that was broken.  Apparently it
just happens to work on x86-64 with other gcc versions.

On arm64, I see warnings with gcc version 13.2.1, and the kernel test
robot reports the same problem on s390 with gcc 13.2.0.

Admittedly it seems to be just the new Xe drm driver, but this is
keeping me from doing my normal arm64 build testing.  So it gets
reverted until somebody figures out what causes the problem (and why it
doesn't show on x86-64, which is what makes me suspect it was never just
about gcc-11, and more about just random happenstance).

This also changes the Kconfig naming a bit - just make the "disable this
for GCC" conditional be one simple Kconfig entry, and we can put the gcc
version dependencies in that entry once we figure out what the correct
rules are.

The version dependency _may_ still end up being "gcc version larger than
11" if the issue is purely in the Xe driver, but even if that ends up
the case, let's make that all part of the "GCC_NO_STRINGOP_OVERFLOW"
logic.

For now, we just disable it for all gcc versions while the exact cause
is unknown.

-Wstringop-overflow is buggy in GCC-11. Therefore, we should disable
this option specifically for that compiler version. To achieve this,
we introduce a new configuration option: GCC11_NO_STRINGOP_OVERFLOW.

The compiler option related to string operation overflow is now managed
under configuration CC_STRINGOP_OVERFLOW. This option is enabled by
default for all other versions of GCC that support it.
