[ Upstream commit c17a2538704f926ee4d167ba625e09b1040d8439 ]

When System.map was generated, the kernel used mksysmap to filter the
kernel symbols, we need to filter "L0" symbols in LoongArch architecture.

$ cat System.map | grep L0
9000000000221540 t L0

The L0 symbol exists in System.map, but not in .tmp_System.map. When
"cmp -s System.map .tmp_System.map" will show "Inconsistent kallsyms
data" error message in link-vmlinux.sh script.

commit 23a0cb8e3225122496bfa79172005c587c2d64bf upstream.

When building an external module, if users don't need to separate the
compilation output and source code, they run the following command:
"make -C $(LINUX_SRC_DIR) M=$(PWD)". At this point, "$(KBUILD_EXTMOD)"
and "$(src)" are the same.

If they need to separate them, they run "make -C $(KERNEL_SRC_DIR)
O=$(KERNEL_OUT_DIR) M=$(OUT_DIR) src=$(PWD)". Before running the
command, they need to copy "Kbuild" or "Makefile" to "$(OUT_DIR)" to
prevent compilation failure.

So the kernel should change the included path to avoid the copy operation.

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

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.

[ Upstream commit b6a5068854cfe372da7dee3224dcf023ed5b00cb ]

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.

Since commit f02e8a6596b7 ("module: Sort exported symbols"),
EXPORT_SYMBOL* is placed in the individual section ___ksymtab(_gpl)+&lt;sym&gt;
(3 leading underscores instead of 2).

Since then, modpost cannot detect the bad combination of EXPORT_SYMBOL
and __init/__exit.

Fix the .fromsec field.

[ Upstream commit dcea997beed694cbd8705100ca1a6eb0d886de69 ]

If a function lives in a section other than .text, but .text also exists
in the object, faddr2line may wrongly assume .text.  This can result in
comically wrong output.  For example:

  $ scripts/faddr2line vmlinux.o enter_from_user_mode+0x1c
  enter_from_user_mode+0x1c/0x30:
  find_next_bit at /home/jpoimboe/git/linux/./include/linux/find.h:40
  (inlined by) perf_clear_dirty_counters at /home/jpoimboe/git/linux/arch/x86/events/core.c:2504

Fix it by passing the section name to addr2line, unless the object file
is vmlinux, in which case the symbol table uses absolute addresses.

The return value of is_arm_mapping_symbol() is unpredictable when "$"
is passed in.

strchr(3) says:
  The strchr() and strrchr() functions return a pointer to the matched
  character or NULL if the character is not found. The terminating null
  byte is considered part of the string, so that if c is specified as
  '\0', these functions return a pointer to the terminator.

When str[1] is '\0', strchr("axtd", str[1]) is not NULL, and str[2] is
referenced (i.e. buffer overrun).

Test code
---------

  char str1[] = "abc";
  char str2[] = "ab";

  strcpy(str1, "$");
  strcpy(str2, "$");

  printf("test1: %d\n", is_arm_mapping_symbol(str1));
  printf("test2: %d\n", is_arm_mapping_symbol(str2));

Result
------

  test1: 0
  test2: 1

[ Upstream commit b5beffa20d83c4e15306c991ffd00de0d8628338 ]

With the `-z unique-symbol` linker flag or any similar mechanism,
it is possible to trigger the following:

ERROR: modpost: "param_set_uint.0" [vmlinux] is a static EXPORT_SYMBOL

The reason is that for now the condition from remove_dot():

if (m &amp;&amp; (s[n + m] == '.' || s[n + m] == 0))

which was designed to test if it's a dot or a '\0' after the suffix
is never satisfied.
This is due to that `s[n + m]` always points to the last digit of a
numeric suffix, not on the symbol next to it (from a custom debug
print added to modpost):

param_set_uint.0, s[n + m] is '0', s[n + m + 1] is '\0'

So it's off-by-one and was like that since 2014.

Fix this for the sake of any potential upcoming features, but don't
bother stable-backporting, as it's well hidden -- apart from that
LD flag, it can be triggered only with GCC LTO which never landed
upstream.

[ Upstream commit 1d1a0e7c5100d332583e20b40aa8c0a8ed3d7849 ]

There have been some recent reports of faddr2line failures:

  $ scripts/faddr2line sound/soundcore.ko sound_devnode+0x5/0x35
  bad symbol size: base: 0x0000000000000000 end: 0x0000000000000000

  $ ./scripts/faddr2line vmlinux.o enter_from_user_mode+0x24
  bad symbol size: base: 0x0000000000005fe0 end: 0x0000000000005fe0

The problem is that faddr2line is based on 'nm', which has a major
limitation: it doesn't know how to distinguish between different text
sections.  So if an offset exists in multiple text sections in the
object, it may fail.

Rewrite faddr2line to be section-aware, by basing it on readelf.
