commit 4eb1782eaa9fa1c224ad1fa0d13a9f09c3ab2d80 upstream.

Commit 85bf17b28f97 ("recordmcount.pl: look for jgnop instruction as well
as bcrl on s390") added a new alternative mnemonic for the existing brcl
instruction. This is required for the combination old gcc version (pre 9.0)
and binutils since version 2.37.
However at the same time this commit introduced a typo, replacing brcl with
bcrl. As a result no mcount locations are detected anymore with old gcc
versions (pre 9.0) and binutils before version 2.37.
Fix this by using the correct mnemonic again.

commit 85bf17b28f97ca2749968d8786dc423db320d9c2 upstream.

On s390, recordmcount.pl is looking for "bcrl 0,&lt;xxx&gt;" instructions in
the objdump -d outpout. However since binutils 2.37, objdump -d
display "jgnop &lt;xxx&gt;" for the same instruction. Update the
mcount_regex so that it accepts both.

<title>nds32/ftrace: Fix Error: invalid operands (*UND* and *UND* sections) for `^'</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b25e0bf3cc59d7dd13771b1d4bc481aef0f37fe1</id>
<content type='text'>
commit be358af1191b1b2fedebd8f3421cafdc8edacc7d upstream.

I received a build failure for a new patch I'm working on the nds32
architecture, and when I went to test it, I couldn't get to my build error,
because it failed to build with a bunch of:

  Error: invalid operands (*UND* and *UND* sections) for `^'

issues with various files. Those files were temporary asm files that looked
like:  kernel/.tmp_mc_fork.s

I decided to look deeper, and found that the "mc" portion of that name
stood for "mcount", and was created by the recordmcount.pl script. One that
I wrote over a decade ago. Once I knew the source of the problem, I was
able to investigate it further.

The way the recordmcount.pl script works (BTW, there's a C version that
simply modifies the ELF object) is by doing an "objdump" on the object
file. Looks for all the calls to "mcount", and creates an offset of those
locations from some global variable it can use (usually a global function
name, found with &lt;.*&gt;:). Creates a asm file that is a table of references
to these locations, using the found variable/function. Compiles it and
links it back into the original object file. This asm file is called
".tmp_mc_&lt;object_base_name&gt;.s".

The problem here is that the objdump produced by the nds32 object file,
contains things that look like:

 0000159a &lt;.L3^B1&gt;:
    159a:       c6 00           beqz38 $r6, 159a &lt;.L3^B1&gt;
                        159a: R_NDS32_9_PCREL_RELA      .text+0x159e
    159c:       84 d2           movi55 $r6, #-14
    159e:       80 06           mov55 $r0, $r6
    15a0:       ec 3c           addi10.sp #0x3c

Where ".L3^B1 is somehow selected as the "global" variable to index off of.

Then the assembly file that holds the mcount locations looks like this:

        .section __mcount_loc,"a",@progbits
        .align 2
        .long .L3^B1 + -5522
        .long .L3^B1 + -5384
        .long .L3^B1 + -5270
        .long .L3^B1 + -5098
        .long .L3^B1 + -4970
        .long .L3^B1 + -4758
        .long .L3^B1 + -4122
        [...]

And when it is compiled back to an object to link to the original object,
the compile fails on the "^" symbol.

Simple solution for now, is to have the perl script ignore using function
symbols that have an "^" in the name.

<title>riscv: Workaround mcount name prior to clang-13</title>

[ Upstream commit 7ce04771503074a7de7f539cc43f5e1b385cb99b ]

Prior to clang 13.0.0, the RISC-V name for the mcount symbol was
"mcount", which differs from the GCC version of "_mcount", which results
in the following errors:

riscv64-linux-gnu-ld: init/main.o: in function `__traceiter_initcall_level':
main.c:(.text+0xe): undefined reference to `mcount'
riscv64-linux-gnu-ld: init/main.o: in function `__traceiter_initcall_start':
main.c:(.text+0x4e): undefined reference to `mcount'
riscv64-linux-gnu-ld: init/main.o: in function `__traceiter_initcall_finish':
main.c:(.text+0x92): undefined reference to `mcount'
riscv64-linux-gnu-ld: init/main.o: in function `.LBB32_28':
main.c:(.text+0x30c): undefined reference to `mcount'
riscv64-linux-gnu-ld: init/main.o: in function `free_initmem':
main.c:(.text+0x54c): undefined reference to `mcount'

This has been corrected in https://reviews.llvm.org/D98881 but the
minimum supported clang version is 10.0.1. To avoid build errors and to
gain a working function tracer, adjust the name of the mcount symbol for
older versions of clang in mount.S and recordmcount.pl.

[ Upstream commit 2f095504f4b9cf75856d6a9cf90299cf75aa46c5 ]

Clang can generate R_RISCV_CALL_PLT relocations to _mcount:

$ llvm-objdump -dr build/riscv/init/main.o | rg mcount
                000000000000000e:  R_RISCV_CALL_PLT     _mcount
                000000000000004e:  R_RISCV_CALL_PLT     _mcount

After this, the __start_mcount_loc section is properly generated and
function tracing still works.

<title>scripts/recordmcount.{c,pl}: support -ffunction-sections .text.* section names</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 9c8e2f6d3d361439cc6744a094f1c15681b55269 upstream.

When building with -ffunction-sections, the compiler will place each
function into its own ELF section, prefixed with ".text".  For example,
a simple test module with functions test_module_do_work() and
test_module_wq_func():

  % objdump --section-headers test_module.o | awk '/\.text/{print $2}'
  .text
  .text.test_module_do_work
  .text.test_module_wq_func
  .init.text
  .exit.text

Adjust the recordmcount scripts to look for ".text" as a section name
prefix.  This will ensure that those functions will be included in the
__mcount_loc relocations:

  % objdump --reloc --section __mcount_loc test_module.o
  OFFSET           TYPE              VALUE
  0000000000000000 R_X86_64_64       .text.test_module_do_work
  0000000000000008 R_X86_64_64       .text.test_module_wq_func
  0000000000000010 R_X86_64_64       .init.text

[ Upstream commit 93ca696376dd3d44b9e5eae835ffbc84772023ec ]

The kernel test robot reported the following issue:

    CC [M]  drivers/soc/litex/litex_soc_ctrl.o
  sh4-linux-objcopy: Unable to change endianness of input file(s)
  sh4-linux-ld: cannot find drivers/soc/litex/.tmp_gl_litex_soc_ctrl.o: No such file or directory
  sh4-linux-objcopy: 'drivers/soc/litex/.tmp_mx_litex_soc_ctrl.o': No such file

The problem is that the format of input file is elf32-shbig-linux, but
sh4-linux-objcopy wants to output a file which format is elf32-sh-linux:

  $ sh4-linux-objdump -d drivers/soc/litex/litex_soc_ctrl.o | grep format
  drivers/soc/litex/litex_soc_ctrl.o:     file format elf32-shbig-linux

The powerpc toolchain can compile combinations of 32/64 bit and
big/little endian, so it's convenient to consider, e.g.,

  `CC -m64 -mbig-endian`

To be the C compiler for the purpose of invoking it to build target
artifacts. So overriding the CC variable to include these flags works
for this purpose.

Unfortunately that is not compatible with the way the proposed new
Kconfig macro language will work.

After previous patches in this series, these flags can be carefully
passed in using flags instead.

Pull RISC-V updates from Palmer Dabbelt:
 "This contains the new features we'd like to incorporate into the
  RISC-V port for 4.17. We might have a bit more stuff land later in the
  merge window, but I wanted to get this out earlier just so everyone
  can see where we currently stand.

  A short summary of the changes is:

   - We've added support for dynamic ftrace on RISC-V targets.

   - There have been a handful of cleanups to our atomic and locking
     routines. They now more closely match the released RISC-V memory
     model draft.

   - Our module loading support has been cleaned up and is now enabled
     by default, despite some limitations still existing.

   - A patch to define COMMANDLINE_FORCE instead of COMMANDLINE_OVERRIDE
     so the generic device tree code picks up handling all our command
     line stuff.

  There's more information in the merge commits for each patch set"
