commit 28438794aba47a27e922857d27b31b74e8559143 upstream.

Since commit f02e8a6596b7 ("module: Sort exported symbols"),
EXPORT_SYMBOL* is placed in the individual section ___ksymtab(_gpl)+&lt;sym&gt;
(3 leading underscores instead of 2).

Since then, modpost cannot detect the bad combination of EXPORT_SYMBOL
and __init/__exit.

Fix the .fromsec field.

[ Upstream commit d6b732666a1bae0df3c3ae06925043bba34502b1 ]

The return value of is_arm_mapping_symbol() is unpredictable when "$"
is passed in.

strchr(3) says:
  The strchr() and strrchr() functions return a pointer to the matched
  character or NULL if the character is not found. The terminating null
  byte is considered part of the string, so that if c is specified as
  '\0', these functions return a pointer to the terminator.

When str[1] is '\0', strchr("axtd", str[1]) is not NULL, and str[2] is
referenced (i.e. buffer overrun).

Test code
---------

  char str1[] = "abc";
  char str2[] = "ab";

  strcpy(str1, "$");
  strcpy(str2, "$");

  printf("test1: %d\n", is_arm_mapping_symbol(str1));
  printf("test2: %d\n", is_arm_mapping_symbol(str2));

Result
------

  test1: 0
  test2: 1

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit b5beffa20d83c4e15306c991ffd00de0d8628338 ]

With the `-z unique-symbol` linker flag or any similar mechanism,
it is possible to trigger the following:

ERROR: modpost: "param_set_uint.0" [vmlinux] is a static EXPORT_SYMBOL

The reason is that for now the condition from remove_dot():

if (m &amp;&amp; (s[n + m] == '.' || s[n + m] == 0))

which was designed to test if it's a dot or a '\0' after the suffix
is never satisfied.
This is due to that `s[n + m]` always points to the last digit of a
numeric suffix, not on the symbol next to it (from a custom debug
print added to modpost):

param_set_uint.0, s[n + m] is '0', s[n + m + 1] is '\0'

So it's off-by-one and was like that since 2014.

Fix this for the sake of any potential upcoming features, but don't
bother stable-backporting, as it's well hidden -- apart from that
LD flag, it can be triggered only with GCC LTO which never landed
upstream.

Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - Add -s option (strict mode) to merge_config.sh to make it fail when
   any symbol is redefined.

 - Show a warning if a different compiler is used for building external
   modules.

 - Infer --target from ARCH for CC=clang to let you cross-compile the
   kernel without CROSS_COMPILE.

 - Make the integrated assembler default (LLVM_IAS=1) for CC=clang.

 - Add &lt;linux/stdarg.h&gt; to the kernel source instead of borrowing
   &lt;stdarg.h&gt; from the compiler.

 - Add Nick Desaulniers as a Kbuild reviewer.

 - Drop stale cc-option tests.

 - Fix the combination of CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS and CONFIG_LTO_CLANG
   to handle symbols in inline assembly.

 - Show a warning if 'FORCE' is missing for if_changed rules.

get_src_version() strips 'o' or 'lto.o' from the end of the object file
path (so, postfixlen is 1 or 5), then adds 'mod'.

If you look at the code closely, mod-&gt;name already holds the base path
with the extension stripped.

Most of the code changes made by commit 7ac204b545f2 ("modpost: lto:
strip .lto from module names") was actually unneeded.

sumversion.c does not need strends(), so it can get back local in
modpost.c again.

<title>powerpc/bug: Provide better flexibility to WARN_ON/__WARN_FLAGS() with asm goto</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1e688dd2a3d6759d416616ff07afc4bb836c4213</id>
<content type='text'>
Using asm goto in __WARN_FLAGS() and WARN_ON() allows more
flexibility to GCC.

For that add an entry to the exception table so that
program_check_exception() knowns where to resume execution
after a WARNING.

Here are two exemples. The first one is done on PPC32 (which
benefits from the previous patch), the second is on PPC64.

	unsigned long test(struct pt_regs *regs)
	{
		int ret;

		WARN_ON(regs-&gt;msr &amp; MSR_PR);

		return regs-&gt;gpr[3];
	}

	unsigned long test9w(unsigned long a, unsigned long b)
	{
		if (WARN_ON(!b))
			return 0;
		return a / b;
	}

Before the patch:

	000003a8 &lt;test&gt;:
	 3a8:	81 23 00 84 	lwz     r9,132(r3)
	 3ac:	71 29 40 00 	andi.   r9,r9,16384

	 c0c:	38 60 00 00 	li      r3,0
	 c10:	4e 80 00 20 	blr

After the patch:

	000003a8 &lt;test&gt;:
	 3a8:	81 23 00 84 	lwz     r9,132(r3)
	 3ac:	71 29 40 00 	andi.   r9,r9,16384
	 3b0:	40 82 00 0c 	bne     3bc &lt;test+0x14&gt;
	 3b4:	80 63 00 0c 	lwz     r3,12(r3)
	 3b8:	4e 80 00 20 	blr

	 3bc:	0f e0 00 00 	twui    r0,0

	0000000000000c50 &lt;.test9w&gt;:
	 c50:	7c 89 00 74 	cntlzd  r9,r4
	 c54:	79 29 d1 82 	rldicl  r9,r9,58,6
	 c58:	0b 09 00 00 	tdnei   r9,0
	 c5c:	7c 63 23 92 	divdu   r3,r3,r4
	 c60:	4e 80 00 20 	blr

	 c70:	38 60 00 00 	li      r3,0
	 c74:	4e 80 00 20 	blr

In the first exemple, we see GCC doesn't need to duplicate what
happens after the trap.

In the second exemple, we see that GCC doesn't need to emit a test
and a branch in the likely path in addition to the trap.

We've got some WARN_ON() in .softirqentry.text section so it needs
to be added in the OTHER_TEXT_SECTIONS in modpost.c

One common cause of modpost version generation failures is a failure to
prototype exported assembly functions - the tooling requires this for
exported functions even if they are not and should not be called from C
code in order to do the version mangling for symbols. Unfortunately the
error message is currently rather abstruse, simply saying that "version
generation failed" and even diving into the code doesn't directly show
what's going on since there's several steps between the problem and it
being observed.

Provide an explicit hint as to the likely cause of a version generation
failure to help anyone who runs into this in future more readily diagnose
and fix the problem.

<title>kbuild: add an elfnote for whether vmlinux is built with lto</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1fdd7433a98a2f5511f49ad3f3b82bdd6f77265c</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, clang LTO built vmlinux won't work with pahole.
LTO introduced cross-cu dwarf tag references and broke
current pahole model which handles one cu as a time.
The solution is to merge all cu's as one pahole cu as in [1].
We would like to do this merging only if cross-cu dwarf
references happens. The LTO build mode is a pretty good
indication for that.

In earlier version of this patch ([2]), clang flag
-grecord-gcc-switches is proposed to add to compilation flags
so pahole could detect "-flto" and then merging cu's.
This will increate the binary size of 1% without LTO though.

Arnaldo suggested to use a note to indicate the vmlinux
is built with LTO. Such a cheap way to get whether the vmlinux
is built with LTO or not helps pahole but is also useful
for tracing as LTO may inline/delete/demote global functions,
promote static functions, etc.

So this patch added an elfnote with a new type LINUX_ELFNOTE_LTO_INFO.
The owner of the note is "Linux".

With gcc 8.4.1 and clang trunk, without LTO, I got
  $ readelf -n vmlinux
  Displaying notes found in: .notes
    Owner                Data size        Description
  ...
    Linux                0x00000004       func
     description data: 00 00 00 00
  ...
With "readelf -x ".notes" vmlinux", I can verify the above "func"
with type code 0x101.

With clang thin-LTO, I got the same as above except the following:
     description data: 01 00 00 00
which indicates the vmlinux is built with LTO.
