[ Upstream commit 9185afeac2a3dcce8300a5684291a43c2838cfd6 ]

Building with W=1 incorrectly emits the following warning:

  WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() in vmlinux.o

This check should apply only to modules.

[ Upstream commit 23dfd914d2bfc4c9938b0084dffd7105de231d98 ]

If the find_fromsym() call fails and returns NULL, the warn() call
will dereference this NULL pointer and cause the program to crash.

This happened when I tried to build with "test_user_copy" module.
With this fix, it prints lots of warnings like this:

 WARNING: modpost: lib/test_user_copy: section mismatch in reference: (unknown)+0x4 (section: .text.fixup) -&gt; (unknown) (section: .init.text)

masahiroy@kernel.org:
 The issue is reproduced with ARCH=arm allnoconfig + CONFIG_MODULES=y +

[ Upstream commit 1102f9f85bf66b1a7bd6a40afb40efbbe05dfc05 ]

As mentioned in commit 397586506c3d ("modpost: Add '.ltext' and
'.ltext.*' to TEXT_SECTIONS"), modpost can result in a segmentation
fault due to a NULL pointer dereference in default_mismatch_handler().

find_tosym() can return the original symbol pointer instead of NULL
if a better one is not found.

This fixes the reported segmentation fault.

[ Upstream commit 4074532758c5c367d3fcb8d124150824a254659d ]

Modify modpost to use binary search for converting addresses back
into symbol references.  Previously it used linear search.

This change saves a few seconds of wall time for defconfig builds,
but can save several minutes on allyesconfigs.

Before:
$ make LLVM=1 -j128 allyesconfig vmlinux -s KCFLAGS="-Wno-error"
$ time scripts/mod/modpost -M -m -a -N -o vmlinux.symvers vmlinux.o

After:
$ make LLVM=1 -j128 allyesconfig vmlinux -s KCFLAGS="-Wno-error"

<content type='text'>
commit 397586506c3da005b9333ce5947ad01e8018a3be upstream.

After the linked LLVM change, building ARCH=um defconfig results in a
segmentation fault in modpost. Prior to commit a23e7584ecf3 ("modpost:
unify 'sym' and 'to' in default_mismatch_handler()"), there was a
warning:

  WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(__ex_table+0x88): Section mismatch in reference to the .ltext:(unknown)
  WARNING: modpost: The relocation at __ex_table+0x88 references
  section ".ltext" which is not in the list of
  authorized sections.  If you're adding a new section
  and/or if this reference is valid, add ".ltext" to the
  list of authorized sections to jump to on fault.
  This can be achieved by adding ".ltext" to
  OTHER_TEXT_SECTIONS in scripts/mod/modpost.c.

The linked LLVM change moves global objects to the '.ltext' (and
'.ltext.*' with '-ffunction-sections') sections with '-mcmodel=large',
which ARCH=um uses. These sections should be handled just as '.text'
and '.text.*' are, so add them to TEXT_SECTIONS.

the first space occurs after the file path.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 1c4a7587d1bbee0fd53b63af60e4244a62775f57 ]

The section mismatch check prints a bogus symbol name on some
architectures.

[test code]

  #include &lt;linux/init.h&gt;

  int __initdata foo;
  int get_foo(void) { return foo; }

If you compile it with GCC for riscv or loongarch, modpost will show an
incorrect symbol name:

  WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: get_foo+0x8 (section: .text) -&gt; done (section: .init.data)

To get the correct symbol address, the st_value must be added.

This issue has never been noticed since commit 93684d3b8062 ("kbuild:
include symbol names in section mismatch warnings") presumably because
st_value becomes zero on most architectures when the referenced symbol
is looked up. It is not true for riscv or loongarch, at least.

With this fix, modpost will show the correct symbol name:

  WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: get_foo+0x8 (section: .text) -&gt; foo (section: .init.data)

<title>modpost: fix ishtp MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE built on big-endian host</title>

[ Upstream commit ac96a15a0f0c8812a3aaa587b871cd5527f6d736 ]

When MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(ishtp, ) is built on a host with a different
endianness from the target architecture, it results in an incorrect
MODULE_ALIAS().

For example, see a case where drivers/platform/x86/intel/ishtp_eclite.c
is built as a module for x86.

If you build it on a little-endian host, you will get the correct
MODULE_ALIAS:

    $ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/platform/x86/intel/ishtp_eclite.mod.c
    MODULE_ALIAS("ishtp:{6A19CC4B-D760-4DE3-B14D-F25EBD0FBCD9}");

However, if you build it on a big-endian host, you will get a wrong
MODULE_ALIAS:

    $ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/platform/x86/intel/ishtp_eclite.mod.c
    MODULE_ALIAS("ishtp:{BD0FBCD9-F25E-B14D-4DE3-D7606A19CC4B}");

This issue has been unnoticed because the x86 kernel is most likely built
natively on an x86 host.

The guid field must not be reversed because guid_t is an array of __u8.

[ Upstream commit 7f54e00e5842663c2cea501bbbdfa572c94348a3 ]

When MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(tee, ) is built on a host with a different
endianness from the target architecture, it results in an incorrect
MODULE_ALIAS().

For example, see a case where drivers/char/hw_random/optee-rng.c
is built as a module for ARM little-endian.

If you build it on a little-endian host, you will get the correct
MODULE_ALIAS:

    $ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/char/hw_random/optee-rng.mod.c
    MODULE_ALIAS("tee:ab7a617c-b8e7-4d8f-8301-d09b61036b64*");

However, if you build it on a big-endian host, you will get a wrong
MODULE_ALIAS:

    $ grep MODULE_ALIAS drivers/char/hw_random/optee-rng.mod.c
    MODULE_ALIAS("tee:646b0361-9bd0-0183-8f4d-e7b87c617aab*");

The same problem also occurs when you enable CONFIG_CPU_BIG_ENDIAN,
and build it on a little-endian host.

This issue has been unnoticed because the ARM kernel is configured for
little-endian by default, and most likely built on a little-endian host
(cross-build on x86 or native-build on ARM).

The uuid field must not be reversed because uuid_t is an array of __u8.
