<content type='text'>
commit f880eea68fe593342fa6e09be9bb661f3c297aec upstream.

Use specific prototype instead of an opaque pointer so that the
compiler can catch function prototype mismatch.

<id>urn:sha1:5a25b6f93f8422caa7b24c82887a6b30061291e9</id>
<content type='text'>
commit ec91e78d378cc5d4b43805a1227d8e04e5dfa17d upstream.

Commit e49ce14150c6 ("modpost: use linker section to generate table.")
was not so cool as we had expected first; it ended up with ugly section
hacks when commit dd2a3acaecd7 ("mod/file2alias: make modpost compile
on darwin again") came in.

Given a certain degree of unknowledge about the link stage of host
programs, I really want to see simple, stupid table lookup so that
this works in the same way regardless of the underlying executable
format.

<id>urn:sha1:b02bfd8416d361a78a46a45ccb20e46d5f97204c</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 5818c683a619c534c113e1f66d24f636defc29bc ]

If an ARM mapping symbol shares an address with a valid symbol,
find_elf_symbol can currently return the mapping symbol instead, as the
symbol is not validated. This can result in confusing warnings:

  WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x18f4028): Section mismatch in reference
  from the function set_reset_devices() to the variable .init.text:$x.0

This change adds a call to is_valid_name to find_elf_symbol, similarly
to how it's already used in find_elf_symbol2.

commit ebf003f0cfb3705e60d40dedc3ec949176c741af upstream.

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.

<title>module/retpoline: Warn about missing retpoline in module</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6cd5513c813eb57eba081563beb817abd9923a3a</id>
<content type='text'>
(cherry picked from commit caf7501a1b4ec964190f31f9c3f163de252273b8)

There's a risk that a kernel which has full retpoline mitigations becomes
vulnerable when a module gets loaded that hasn't been compiled with the
right compiler or the right option.

To enable detection of that mismatch at module load time, add a module info
string "retpoline" at build time when the module was compiled with
retpoline support. This only covers compiled C source, but assembler source
or prebuilt object files are not checked.

If a retpoline enabled kernel detects a non retpoline protected module at
load time, print a warning and report it in the sysfs vulnerability file.

<title>powerpc: Simplify module TOC handling</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fa34303532dcd4c609729cd0cc8aa2c53b3eb4fd</id>
<content type='text'>
commit c153693d7eb9eeb28478aa2deaaf0b4e7b5ff5e9 upstream.

PowerPC64 uses the symbol .TOC. much as other targets use
_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_. It identifies the value of the GOT pointer (or in
powerpc parlance, the TOC pointer). Global offset tables are generally
local to an executable or shared library, or in the kernel, module. Thus
it does not make sense for a module to resolve a relocation against
.TOC. to the kernel's .TOC. value. A module has its own .TOC., and
indeed the powerpc64 module relocation processing ignores the kernel
value of .TOC. and instead calculates a module-local value.

This patch removes code involved in exporting the kernel .TOC., tweaks
modpost to ignore an undefined .TOC., and the module loader to twiddle
the section symbol so that .TOC. isn't seen as undefined.

Note that if the kernel was compiled with -msingle-pic-base then ELFv2
would not have function global entry code setting up r2. In that case
the module call stubs would need to be modified to set up r2 using the
kernel .TOC. value, requiring some of this code to be reinstated.

mpe: Furthermore a change in binutils master (not yet released) causes
the current way we handle the TOC to no longer work when building with
MODVERSIONS=y and RELOCATABLE=n. The symptom is that modules can not be
loaded due to there being no version found for TOC.

<content type='text'>
commit b3c0a4dab7e35a9b6d69c0415641d2280fdefb2b upstream.

Because of an improper dereference, a stray 'C' character was output to
the modalias when no 'compatible' was specified. This is the case for
some old PowerMac drivers which only set the 'name' property. Fix it to
let them match again.

Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
 "Here is the first batch of updates for sound system on 4.4-rc1.

  Again at this time, the update looks fairly calm; no big changes in
  either ALSA core or ASoC infrastructures, rather all small cleanups,
  in addition to the new stuff as usual.

  The biggest changes are about Firewire sound devices.  It gained lots
  of new device support, and MIDI functionality.  Also there are updates
  for a few still working-in-progress stuff (topology API and ASoC
  skylake), too.  But overall, this update should give no big surprise.

  Some highlights are below:

  Core:
   - A few more Kconfig items for tinification; it's marked as EXPERT,
     so normal user should't be bothered :)
   - Refactoring with a new PCM hw_constraint helper
   - Removal of unused transfer_ack_{begin,end} PCM callbacks

  Firewire:
   - Restructuring of code subtree, lots of refactoring
   - Support AMDTP variants
   - New driver for Digidesign 002/003 family
   - Adds support for TASCAM FireOne to ALSA OXFW driver
   - Add MIDI support to TASCAM and Digi00x devices

  HD-Audio:
   - Automated modalias generation for codec drivers, finally
   - Improvement on heuristics for setting mixer name
   - A few fixes for longstanding bugs on Creative CA0132 cards
   - Addition of audio rate callback with i915 communication
   - Fix suspend issue on recent Dell XPS
   - Intel Lewisburg controller support

  ASoC:
   - Updates to the topology userspace interface
   - Big updates to the Renesas support (rcar)
   - More updates for supporting Intel Sky Lake systems
   - New drivers for Asahi Kasei Microdevices AK4613, Allwinnner A10,
     Cirrus Logic WM8998, Dialog DA7219, Nuvoton NAU8825, Rockchip
     S/PDIF, and Atmel class D amplifier

  USB-Audio:
   - A fix for newer Roland MIDI devices
   - Quirks and workarounds for Zoom R16/24 device

  Misc:
   - A few fixes for some old Cirrus CS46xx PCI sound boards
   - Yet another fixes for some old ESS Maestro3 PCI sound boards"
