commit cf0c3e68aa81f992b0301f62e341b710d385bf68 upstream.

KBuild abuses the asm statement to write to a file and
clang chokes about these invalid asm statements. Hack it
even more by fooling this is actual valid asm code.

<content type='text'>
commit 7dd47b95b0f54f2057d40af6e66d477e3fe95d13 upstream.

This part ended up in redundant code after touched by multiple
people.

[1] Commit 3234282f33b2 ("x86, asm: Fix CFI macro invocations to
deal with shortcomings in gas") added parentheses for defined
expressions to support old gas for x86.

[2] Commit a22dcdb0032c ("x86, asm: Fix ancient-GAS workaround")
split the pattern into two to avoid parentheses for non-numeric
expressions.

[3] Commit 95a2f6f72d37 ("Partially revert patch that encloses
asm-offset.h numbers in brackets") removed parentheses from numeric
expressions as well because parentheses in MN10300 assembly have a
special meaning (pointer access).

Apparently, there is a conflict between [1] and [3].  After all,
[3] took precedence, and a long time has passed since then.

Now, merge the two patterns again because the first one is covered
by the other.

Largely redundant code is used in different places to generate C headers
from offset information extracted from assembly language output.
Consolidate the code in Makefile.lib and use this instead.

commit 0e410e158e5baa1300bdf678cea4f4e0cf9d8b94 upstream.

With KASAN enabled the kernel has two different memset() functions, one
with KASAN checks (memset) and one without (__memset).  KASAN uses some
macro tricks to use the proper version where required.  For example
memset() calls in mm/slub.c are without KASAN checks, since they operate
on poisoned slab object metadata.

The issue is that clang emits memset() calls even when there is no
memset() in the source code.  They get linked with improper memset()
implementation and the kernel fails to boot due to a huge amount of KASAN
reports during early boot stages.

The solution is to add -fno-builtin flag for files with KASAN_SANITIZE :=
n marker.

<title>kbuild: Handle builtin dtb file names containing hyphens</title>

<id>urn:sha1:edcb61577cca07af0a4ed9794a90537306c1dda9</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 55fe6da9efba102866e2fb5b40b04b6a4b26c19e upstream.

cmd_dt_S_dtb constructs the assembly source to incorporate a devicetree
FDT (that is, the .dtb file) as binary data in the kernel image. This
assembly source contains labels before and after the binary data. The
label names incorporate the file name of the corresponding .dtb file.
Hyphens are not legal characters in labels, so .dtb files built into the
kernel with hyphens in the file name result in errors like the
following:

bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S: Assembler messages:
bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:5: Error: : no such section
bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:5: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `-'
bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:6: Error: unrecognized opcode `__dtb_bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g_begin:'
bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:8: Error: unrecognized opcode `__dtb_bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g_end:'
bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:9: Error: : no such section
bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:9: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `-'

Fix this by updating cmd_dt_S_dtb to transform all hyphens from the file
name to underscores when constructing the labels.

As of v4.16-rc2, 1139 .dts files across ARM64, ARM, MIPS and PowerPC
contain hyphens in their names, but the issue only currently manifests
on Broadcom MIPS platforms, as that is the only place where such files
are built into the kernel. For example when CONFIG_DT_NETGEAR_CVG834G=y,
or on BMIPS kernels when the dtbs target is used (in the latter case it
admittedly shouldn't really build all the dtb.o files, but thats a
separate issue).

<title>kasan: add kernel address sanitizer infrastructure</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0b24becc810dc3be6e3f94103a866f214c282394</id>
<content type='text'>
Kernel Address sanitizer (KASan) is a dynamic memory error detector.  It
provides fast and comprehensive solution for finding use-after-free and
out-of-bounds bugs.

KASAN uses compile-time instrumentation for checking every memory access,
therefore GCC &gt; v4.9.2 required.  v4.9.2 almost works, but has issues with
putting symbol aliases into the wrong section, which breaks kasan
instrumentation of globals.

This patch only adds infrastructure for kernel address sanitizer.  It's
not available for use yet.  The idea and some code was borrowed from [1].

Basic idea:

The main idea of KASAN is to use shadow memory to record whether each byte
of memory is safe to access or not, and use compiler's instrumentation to
check the shadow memory on each memory access.

Address sanitizer uses 1/8 of the memory addressable in kernel for shadow
memory and uses direct mapping with a scale and offset to translate a
memory address to its corresponding shadow address.

Here is function to translate address to corresponding shadow address:

     unsigned long kasan_mem_to_shadow(unsigned long addr)
     {
                return (addr &gt;&gt; KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT) + KASAN_SHADOW_OFFSET;
     }

where KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SHIFT = 3.

So for every 8 bytes there is one corresponding byte of shadow memory.
The following encoding used for each shadow byte: 0 means that all 8 bytes
of the corresponding memory region are valid for access; k (1 &lt;= k &lt;= 7)
means that the first k bytes are valid for access, and other (8 - k) bytes
are not; Any negative value indicates that the entire 8-bytes are
inaccessible.  Different negative values used to distinguish between
different kinds of inaccessible memory (redzones, freed memory) (see
mm/kasan/kasan.h).

To be able to detect accesses to bad memory we need a special compiler.
Such compiler inserts a specific function calls (__asan_load*(addr),
__asan_store*(addr)) before each memory access of size 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16.

These functions check whether memory region is valid to access or not by
checking corresponding shadow memory.  If access is not valid an error
printed.

Historical background of the address sanitizer from Dmitry Vyukov:

	"We've developed the set of tools, AddressSanitizer (Asan),
	ThreadSanitizer and MemorySanitizer, for user space. We actively use
	them for testing inside of Google (continuous testing, fuzzing,
	running prod services). To date the tools have found more than 10'000
	scary bugs in Chromium, Google internal codebase and various
	open-source projects (Firefox, OpenSSL, gcc, clang, ffmpeg, MySQL and
	lots of others): [2] [3] [4].
	The tools are part of both gcc and clang compilers.

	We have not yet done massive testing under the Kernel AddressSanitizer
	(it's kind of chicken and egg problem, you need it to be upstream to
	start applying it extensively). To date it has found about 50 bugs.
	Bugs that we've found in upstream kernel are listed in [5].
	We've also found ~20 bugs in out internal version of the kernel. Also
	people from Samsung and Oracle have found some.

	[...]

	As others noted, the main feature of AddressSanitizer is its
	performance due to inline compiler instrumentation and simple linear
	shadow memory. User-space Asan has ~2x slowdown on computational
	programs and ~2x memory consumption increase. Taking into account that
	kernel usually consumes only small fraction of CPU and memory when
	running real user-space programs, I would expect that kernel Asan will
	have ~10-30% slowdown and similar memory consumption increase (when we
	finish all tuning).

	I agree that Asan can well replace kmemcheck. We have plans to start
	working on Kernel MemorySanitizer that finds uses of unitialized
	memory. Asan+Msan will provide feature-parity with kmemcheck. As
	others noted, Asan will unlikely replace debug slab and pagealloc that
	can be enabled at runtime. Asan uses compiler instrumentation, so even
	if it is disabled, it still incurs visible overheads.

	Asan technology is easily portable to other architectures. Compiler
	instrumentation is fully portable. Runtime has some arch-dependent
	parts like shadow mapping and atomic operation interception. They are
	relatively easy to port."

Comparison with other debugging features:
========================================

KMEMCHECK:

  - KASan can do almost everything that kmemcheck can.  KASan uses
    compile-time instrumentation, which makes it significantly faster than
    kmemcheck.  The only advantage of kmemcheck over KASan is detection of
    uninitialized memory reads.

    Some brief performance testing showed that kasan could be
    x500-x600 times faster than kmemcheck:

$ netperf -l 30
		MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 0 AF_INET
		Recv   Send    Send
		Socket Socket  Message  Elapsed
		Size   Size    Size     Time     Throughput
		bytes  bytes   bytes    secs.    10^6bits/sec

no debug:	87380  16384  16384    30.00    41624.72

kasan inline:	87380  16384  16384    30.00    12870.54

kasan outline:	87380  16384  16384    30.00    10586.39

kmemcheck: 	87380  16384  16384    30.03      20.23

  - Also kmemcheck couldn't work on several CPUs.  It always sets
    number of CPUs to 1.  KASan doesn't have such limitation.

DEBUG_PAGEALLOC:
	- KASan is slower than DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, but KASan works on sub-page
	  granularity level, so it able to find more bugs.

SLUB_DEBUG (poisoning, redzones):
	- SLUB_DEBUG has lower overhead than KASan.

	- SLUB_DEBUG in most cases are not able to detect bad reads,
	  KASan able to detect both reads and writes.

	- In some cases (e.g. redzone overwritten) SLUB_DEBUG detect
	  bugs only on allocation/freeing of object. KASan catch
	  bugs right before it will happen, so we always know exact
	  place of first bad read/write.

Move dtbs install rules to Makefile.dtbinst. This change is needed to
implement support for dts vendor subdirs. The change makes Makefiles
easier and smaller as no longer the dtbs_install rule needs to be
defined. Another advantage is that install goals are not encoded in
targets anymore (%.dtb_dtbinst_).

<content type='text'>
The comment in scripts/Makefile.build says as follows:

  We would rather have a list of rules like
        foo.o: $(foo-objs)
  but that's not so easy, so we rather make all composite objects depend
  on the set of all their parts

This commit makes it possible!

For example, assume a Makefile like this

  obj-m = foo.o bar.o
  foo-objs := foo1.o foo2.o
  bar-objs := bar1.o bar2.o

Without this patch, foo.o depends on all of
foo1.o foo2.o bar1.o bar2.o.
It looks funny that foo.o is regenerated when bar1.c is updated.

Now we can handle the dependency of foo.o and bar.o separately.
