commit af60e207087975d069858741c44ed4f450330ac4 upstream.

If build fails during (bin)rpm-pkg, the spec file is not cleaned by
anyone until the next successful build of the package.

We do not have to immediately delete the spec file in case somebody
may want to take a look at it.  Instead, make them ignored by git,
and cleaned up by make mrproper.

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

<content type='text'>
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.

<content type='text'>
commit 883d50f56d263f70fd73c0d96b09eb36c34e9305 upstream.

Since kernel 4.9, the thread_info has been moved into task_struct, no
longer locates at the bottom of kernel stack.

See commits c65eacbe290b ("sched/core: Allow putting thread_info into
task_struct") and 15f4eae70d36 ("x86: Move thread_info into
task_struct").

Before fix:
  (gdb) set $current = $lx_current()
  (gdb) p $lx_thread_info($current)
  $1 = {flags = 1470918301}
  (gdb) p $current.thread_info
  $2 = {flags = 2147483648}

After fix:
  (gdb) p $lx_thread_info($current)
  $1 = {flags = 2147483648}
  (gdb) p $current.thread_info
  $2 = {flags = 2147483648}

<title>objtool: Fix seg fault with gold linker</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f41b2d7ee791e845147a3e3cafb25493dca6870a</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 2a0098d70640dda192a79966c14d449e7a34d675 upstream.

Objtool segfaults when the gold linker is used with
CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y and CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC=y.

With CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y, the .o file gets passed to the linker before
being passed to objtool.  The gold linker seems to strip unused ELF
symbols by default, which confuses objtool and causes the seg fault when
it's trying to generate ORC metadata.

Objtool should really be running immediately after GCC anyway, without a
linker call in between.  Change the makefile ordering so that objtool is
called before the linker.

<title>linux/compiler.h: Split into compiler.h and compiler_types.h</title>

<published>2017-10-24T10:22:46Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.stealer.net/cgit.cgi/user/sven/linux.git/commit/?id=a9772285a7246c2a816da7f50c8c1e94b264770d'/>
<id>urn:sha1:a9772285a7246c2a816da7f50c8c1e94b264770d</id>
<content type='text'>
commit d15155824c5014803d91b829736d249c500bdda6 upstream.

linux/compiler.h is included indirectly by linux/types.h via
uapi/linux/types.h -&gt; uapi/linux/posix_types.h -&gt; linux/stddef.h
-&gt; uapi/linux/stddef.h and is needed to provide a proper definition of
offsetof.

Unfortunately, compiler.h requires a definition of
smp_read_barrier_depends() for defining lockless_dereference() and soon
for defining READ_ONCE(), which means that all
users of READ_ONCE() will need to include asm/barrier.h to avoid splats
such as:

   In file included from include/uapi/linux/stddef.h:1:0,
                    from include/linux/stddef.h:4,
                    from arch/h8300/kernel/asm-offsets.c:11:
   include/linux/list.h: In function 'list_empty':
&gt;&gt; include/linux/compiler.h:343:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'smp_read_barrier_depends' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
     smp_read_barrier_depends(); /* Enforce dependency ordering from x */ \
     ^

A better alternative is to include asm/barrier.h in linux/compiler.h,
but this requires a type definition for "bool" on some architectures
(e.g. x86), which is defined later by linux/types.h. Type "bool" is also
used directly in linux/compiler.h, so the whole thing is pretty fragile.

This patch splits compiler.h in two: compiler_types.h contains type
annotations, definitions and the compiler-specific parts, whereas
compiler.h #includes compiler-types.h and additionally defines macros
such as {READ,WRITE.ACCESS}_ONCE().

uapi/linux/stddef.h and linux/linkage.h are then moved over to include
linux/compiler_types.h, which fixes the build for h8 and blackfin.

  CONFIG_GUESS_UNWINDER

to:

  CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC
  CONFIG_UNWINDER_FRAME_POINTER
  CONFIG_UNWINDER_GUESS

<title>coccinelle: fix parallel build with CHECK=scripts/coccicheck</title>

<id>urn:sha1:394d0c93b9dd2dee2024a9d922a60b3a3aadb538</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit d7059ca0147adcd495f3c5b41f260e1ac55bb679 ]

The command "make -j8 C=1 CHECK=scripts/coccicheck" produces
lots of "coccicheck failed" error messages.

Julia Lawall explained the Coccinelle behavior as follows:
"The problem on the Coccinelle side is that it uses a subdirectory
with the name of the semantic patch to store standard output and
standard error for the different threads.  I didn't want to use a
name with the pid, so that one could easily find this information
while Coccinelle is running.  Normally the subdirectory is cleaned
up when Coccinelle completes, so there is only one of them at a time.
Maybe it is best to just add the pid.  There is the risk that these
subdirectories will accumulate if Coccinelle crashes in a way such
that they don't get cleaned up, but Coccinelle could print a warning
if it detects this case, rather than failing."

When scripts/coccicheck is used as CHECK tool and -j option is given
to Make, the whole of build process runs in parallel.  So, multiple
processes try to get access to the same subdirectory.

I notice spatch creates the subdirectory only when it runs in parallel
(i.e. --jobs &lt;N&gt; is given and &lt;N&gt; is greater than 1).

Setting NPROC=1 is a reasonable solution; spatch does not create the
subdirectory.  Besides, ONLINE=1 mode takes a single file input for
each spatch invocation, so there is no reason to parallelize it in
the first place.
