[ Upstream commit b058809bfc8faeb7b7cae047666e23375a060059 ]

A bug is present in GDB which causes early string termination when
parsing variables.  This has been reported [0], but we should ensure
that we can support at least basic printing of the core kernel strings.

For current gdb version (has been tested with 7.3 and 8.1), 'lx-version'
only prints one character.

  (gdb) lx-version
  L(gdb)

This can be fixed by casting 'linux_banner' as (char *).

  (gdb) lx-version
  Linux version 4.19.0-rc1+ (changbin@acer) (gcc version 7.3.0 (Ubuntu 7.3.0-16ubuntu3)) #21 SMP Sat Sep 1 21:43:30 CST 2018

<title>scripts/decode_stacktrace: only strip base path when a prefix of the path</title>

[ Upstream commit 67a28de47faa83585dd644bd4c31e5a1d9346c50 ]

Running something like:

	decodecode vmlinux .

leads to interested results where not only the leading "." gets stripped
from the displayed paths, but also anywhere in the string, displaying
something like:

	kvm_vcpu_check_block (arch/arm64/kvm/virt/kvm/kvm_mainc:2141)

which doesn't help further processing.

Fix it by only stripping the base path if it is a prefix of the path.

<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.

[ Upstream commit fbac5977d81cb2b2b7e37b11c459055d9585273c ]

An unterminated string literal followed by new line is passed to the
parser (with "multi-line strings not supported" warning shown), then
handled properly there.

On the other hand, an unterminated string literal at end of file is
never passed to the parser, then results in memory leak.

[Test Code]

  ----------(Kconfig begin)----------
  source "Kconfig.inc"

  config A
          bool "a"
  -----------(Kconfig end)-----------

  --------(Kconfig.inc begin)--------
  config B
          bool "b\No new line at end of file
  ---------(Kconfig.inc end)---------

[Summary from Valgrind]

  Before the fix:

    LEAK SUMMARY:
       definitely lost: 16 bytes in 1 blocks
       ...

  After the fix:

    LEAK SUMMARY:
       definitely lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
       ...

Eliminate the memory leak path by handling this case. Of course, such
a Kconfig file is wrong already, so I will add an error message later.

[ Upstream commit 77c1c0fa8b1477c5799bdad65026ea5ff676da44 ]

Currently, warn_ignore_character() displays invalid file name and
line number.

The lexer should use current_file-&gt;name and yylineno, while the parser
should use zconf_curname() and zconf_lineno().

This difference comes from that the lexer is always going ahead
of the parser. The parser needs to look ahead one token to make a
shift/reduce decision, so the lexer is requested to scan more text
from the input file.

This commit fixes the warning message from warn_ignored_character().

[Test Code]

  ----(Kconfig begin)----
  /
  -----(Kconfig end)-----

[Output]

  Before the fix:

  &lt;none&gt;:0:warning: ignoring unsupported character '/'

  After the fix:

  Kconfig:1:warning: ignoring unsupported character '/'

<title>checkstack.pl: fix for aarch64</title>

[ Upstream commit f1733a1d3cd32a9492f4cf866be37bb46e10163d ]

There is actually a space after "sp," like this,

    ffff2000080813c8:       a9bb7bfd        stp     x29, x30, [sp, #-80]!

Right now, checkstack.pl isn't able to print anything on aarch64,
because it won't be able to match the stating objdump line of a function
due to this missing space.  Hence, it displays every stack as zero-size.

After this patch, checkpatch.pl is able to match the start of a
function's objdump, and is then able to calculate each function's stack
correctly.

<title>scripts/spdxcheck.py: always open files in binary mode</title>

commit 3a6ab5c7dc114057fd67750e308e1745dafc0e6a upstream.

The spdxcheck script currently falls over when confronted with a binary
file (such as Documentation/logo.gif).  To avoid that, always open files
in binary mode and decode line-by-line, ignoring encoding errors.

One tricky case is when piping data into the script and reading it from
standard input.  By default, standard input will be opened in text mode,
so we need to reopen it in binary mode.

The breakage only happens with python3 and results in a
UnicodeDecodeError (according to Uwe).

commit 38c7b224ce22c25fed04007839edf974bd13439d upstream.

New versions of gcc reasonably warn about the odd pattern of

	strncpy(p, q, strlen(q));

which really doesn't make sense: the strncpy() ends up being just a slow
and odd way to write memcpy() in this case.

There was a comment about _why_ the code used strncpy - to avoid the
terminating NUL byte, but memcpy does the same and avoids the warning.

commit 4cd24de3a0980bf3100c9dcb08ef65ca7c31af48 upstream

Since retpoline capable compilers are widely available, make
CONFIG_RETPOLINE hard depend on the compiler capability.

Break the build when CONFIG_RETPOLINE is enabled and the compiler does not
support it. Emit an error message in that case:

 "arch/x86/Makefile:226: *** You are building kernel with non-retpoline
  compiler, please update your compiler..  Stop."
