<content type='text'>
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.

<title>modpost: fix undefined behavior of is_arm_mapping_symbol()</title>

<content type='text'>
[ 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

<id>urn:sha1:a53131a69515dc170707df1ac17f3c4444169b87</id>
<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.

This log message was accidentally chopped off.

I was wondering why this happened, but checking the ML log, Mark
precisely followed my suggestion [1].

I just used "..." because I was too lazy to type the sentence fully.

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>PCI / VFIO: Add 'override_only' support for VFIO PCI sub system</title>
<updated>2021-08-26T16:36:51Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Max Gurtovoy</name>
<email>mgurtovoy@nvidia.com</email>
</author>
<published>2021-08-26T10:39:09Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.stealer.net/cgit.cgi/user/sven/linux.git/commit/?id=cc6711b0bf36de068b10490198d05ac168377989'/>
<id>urn:sha1:cc6711b0bf36de068b10490198d05ac168377989</id>
<content type='text'>
Expose an 'override_only' helper macro (i.e.
PCI_DRIVER_OVERRIDE_DEVICE_VFIO) for VFIO PCI sub system and add the
required code to prefix its matching entries with "vfio_" in
modules.alias file.

It allows VFIO device drivers to include match entries in the
modules.alias file produced by kbuild that are not used for normal
driver autoprobing and module autoloading. Drivers using these match
entries can be connected to the PCI device manually, by userspace, using
the existing driver_override sysfs.

For example the resulting modules.alias may have:

  alias pci:v000015B3d00001021sv*sd*bc*sc*i* mlx5_core
  alias vfio_pci:v000015B3d00001021sv*sd*bc*sc*i* mlx5_vfio_pci
  alias vfio_pci:v*d*sv*sd*bc*sc*i* vfio_pci

In this example mlx5_core and mlx5_vfio_pci match to the same PCI
device. The kernel will autoload and autobind to mlx5_core but the
kernel and udev mechanisms will ignore mlx5_vfio_pci.

When userspace wants to change a device to the VFIO subsystem it can
implement a generic algorithm:

   1) Identify the sysfs path to the device:
    /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0

   2) Get the modalias string from the kernel:
    $ cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0/modalias
    pci:v000015B3d00001021sv000015B3sd00000001bc02sc00i00

   3) Prefix it with vfio_:
    vfio_pci:v000015B3d00001021sv000015B3sd00000001bc02sc00i00

   4) Search modules.alias for the above string and select the entry that
      has the fewest *'s:
    alias vfio_pci:v000015B3d00001021sv*sd*bc*sc*i* mlx5_vfio_pci

   5) modprobe the matched module name:
    $ modprobe mlx5_vfio_pci

   6) cat the matched module name to driver_override:
    echo mlx5_vfio_pci &gt; /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0/driver_override

   7) unbind device from original module
     echo 0000:01:00.0 &gt; /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0/driver/unbind

   8) probe PCI drivers (or explicitly bind to mlx5_vfio_pci)
    echo 0000:01:00.0 &gt; /sys/bus/pci/drivers_probe

The algorithm is independent of bus type. In future the other buses with
VFIO device drivers, like platform and ACPI, can use this algorithm as
well.

This patch is the infrastructure to provide the information in the
modules.alias to userspace. Convert the only VFIO pci_driver which results
in one new line in the modules.alias:

  alias vfio_pci:v*d*sv*sd*bc*sc*i* vfio_pci

Later series introduce additional HW specific VFIO PCI drivers, such as
mlx5_vfio_pci.

<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:

	 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.
