commit 2120635108b35ecad9c59c8b44f6cbdf4f98214e upstream.

We enable -Wcast-function-type globally in the kernel to warn about
mismatching types in function pointer casts. Compilers currently
warn only about ABI incompability with this flag, but Clang 16 will
enable a stricter version of the check by default that checks for an
exact type match. This will be very noisy in the kernel, so disable
-Wcast-function-type-strict without W=1 until the new warnings have
been addressed.

[ Upstream commit 32ef9e5054ec0321b9336058c58ec749e9c6b0fe ]

Alexey reported that the fraction of unknown filename instances in
kallsyms grew from ~0.3% to ~10% recently; Bill and Greg tracked it down
to assembler defined symbols, which regressed as a result of:

commit b8a9092330da ("Kbuild: do not emit debug info for assembly with LLVM_IAS=1")

In that commit, I allude to restoring debug info for assembler defined
symbols in a follow up patch, but it seems I forgot to do so in

commit a66049e2cf0e ("Kbuild: make DWARF version a choice")

Dmitrii, Fangrui, and Mashahiro note:

  Before GCC 11 and Clang 12 -gsplit-dwarf implicitly uses -g2.

Fix CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT for gcc-11+ &amp; clang-12+ which now need -g
specified in order for -gsplit-dwarf to work at all.

-gsplit-dwarf has been mutually exclusive with -g since support for
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_SPLIT was introduced in
commit 866ced950bcd ("kbuild: Support split debug info v4")
I don't think it ever needed to be.

<title>modules: Ensure natural alignment for .altinstructions and __bug_table sections</title>

<id>urn:sha1:62c8639072ae6cd7bbc0a27ea4d1faf7091f0a07</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 87c482bdfa79f378297d92af49cdf265be199df5 ]

In the kernel image vmlinux.lds.S linker scripts the .altinstructions
and __bug_table sections are 4- or 8-byte aligned because they hold 32-
and/or 64-bit values.

Most architectures use altinstructions and BUG() or WARN() in modules as
well, but in the module linker script (module.lds.S) those sections are
currently missing. As consequence the linker will store their content
byte-aligned by default, which then can lead to unnecessary unaligned
memory accesses by the CPU when those tables are processed at runtime.

Usually unaligned memory accesses are unnoticed, because either the
hardware (as on x86 CPUs) or in-kernel exception handlers (e.g. on
parisc or sparc) emulate and fix them up at runtime. Nevertheless, such
unaligned accesses introduce a performance penalty and can even crash
the kernel if there is a bug in the unalignment exception handlers
(which happened once to me on the parisc architecture and which is why I
noticed that issue at all).

This patch fixes a non-critical issue and might be backported at any time.
It's trivial and shouldn't introduce any regression because it simply
tells the linker to use a different (8-byte alignment) for those
sections by default.

<title>gcc-plugins: Undefine LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN when plugin disabled for a file</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5ba9bafa2ce0bfd626e35763a44631e3e528e92f</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 012e8d2034f1bda8863435cd589636e618d6a659 upstream.

Commit 36d4b36b6959 ("lib/nodemask: inline next_node_in() and
node_random()") refactored some code by moving node_random() from
lib/nodemask.c to include/linux/nodemask.h, thus requiring nodemask.h to
include random.h, which conditionally defines add_latent_entropy()
depending on whether the macro LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN is defined.

This broke the build on powerpc, where nodemask.h is indirectly included
in arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.c, part of the early boot machinery that
is excluded from the latent entropy plugin using
DISABLE_LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN. It turns out that while we add a gcc flag
to disable the actual plugin, we don't undefine LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN.

This leads to the following:

    CC      arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.o

Change the DISABLE_LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN flags to undefine
LATENT_ENTROPY_PLUGIN for files where the plugin is disabled.

<title>modpost: fix module versioning when a symbol lacks valid CRC</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5fc790e349ade000f114c1c26fd6fa9915af4b9e</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 5b8a9a8fd1f0c3d55d407cf759d54ca68798d9ad upstream.

Since commit 7b4537199a4a ("kbuild: link symbol CRCs at final link,
removing CONFIG_MODULE_REL_CRCS"), module versioning is broken on
some architectures. Loading a module fails with "disagrees about
version of symbol module_layout".

On such architectures (e.g. ARCH=sparc build with sparc64_defconfig),
modpost shows a warning, like follows:

  WARNING: modpost: EXPORT symbol "_mcount" [vmlinux] version generation failed, symbol will not be versioned.
  Is "_mcount" prototyped in &lt;asm/asm-prototypes.h&gt;?

Previously, it was a harmless warning (CRC check was just skipped),
but now wrong CRCs are used for comparison because invalid CRCs are
just skipped.

  $ sparc64-linux-gnu-nm -n vmlinux
    [snip]
  0000000000c2cea0 r __ksymtab__kstrtol
  0000000000c2ceb8 r __ksymtab__kstrtoul
  0000000000c2ced0 r __ksymtab__local_bh_enable
  0000000000c2cee8 r __ksymtab__mcount
  0000000000c2cf00 r __ksymtab__printk
  0000000000c2cf18 r __ksymtab__raw_read_lock
  0000000000c2cf30 r __ksymtab__raw_read_lock_bh
    [snip]
  0000000000c53b34 D __crc__kstrtol
  0000000000c53b38 D __crc__kstrtoul
  0000000000c53b3c D __crc__local_bh_enable
  0000000000c53b40 D __crc__printk
  0000000000c53b44 D __crc__raw_read_lock
  0000000000c53b48 D __crc__raw_read_lock_bh

Please notice __crc__mcount is missing here.

When the module subsystem looks up a CRC that comes after, it results
in reading out a wrong address. For example, when __crc__printk is
needed, the module subsystem reads 0xc53b44 instead of 0xc53b40.

All CRC entries must be output for correct index accessing. Invalid
CRCs will be unused, but are needed to keep the one-to-one mapping
between __ksymtab_* and __crc_*.

The best is to fix all modpost warnings, but several warnings are still
remaining on less popular architectures.

Since commit dcea997beed6 ("faddr2line: Fix overlapping text section
failures, the sequel"), faddr2line is completely broken on arm64.

For some reason, on arm64, the vmlinux ELF object file type is ET_DYN
rather than ET_EXEC.  Check for both when determining whether the object
is vmlinux.

Modules and vmlinux.o have type ET_REL on all arches.

[ Upstream commit e3c8d33e0d62175c31ca7ab7ab01b18f0b6318d3 ]

The type atomic_long_t can have size 4 or 8 bytes, depending on
CONFIG_64BIT; it's only content, the field 'counter', is either an
int or a s64 value.

Current code incorrectly uses the fixed size utils.read_u64() to
read the field 'counter' inside atomic_long_t.

On 32 bits architectures reading the last element 'tail_id' of the
struct prb_desc_ring:
	struct prb_desc_ring {
		...
		atomic_long_t tail_id;
	};
causes the utils.read_u64() to access outside the boundary of the
struct and the gdb command 'lx-dmesg' exits with error:
	Python Exception &lt;class 'IndexError'&gt;: index out of range
	Error occurred in Python: index out of range

Query the really used atomic_long_t counter type size.
