[ Upstream commit 8580bed7e751e6d4f17881e059daf3cb37ba4717 ]

Building objtool with ARCH=x86_64 fails with:

   $make ARCH=x86_64 -C tools/objtool
   ...
     CC       arch/x86/decode.o
   arch/x86/decode.c:10:22: fatal error: asm/insn.h: No such file or directory
    #include &lt;asm/insn.h&gt;
                         ^
   compilation terminated.
   mv: cannot stat ‘arch/x86/.decode.o.tmp’: No such file or directory
   make[2]: *** [arch/x86/decode.o] Error 1
   ...

The root cause is that the command-line variable 'ARCH' cannot be
overridden.  It can be replaced by 'SRCARCH', which is defined in
'tools/scripts/Makefile.arch'.

commit 6ec14aa7a58a1c2fb303692f8cb1ff82d9abd10a upstream.

The sync-check.sh script prints out the path due to a "cd -" at the end
of the script, even on silent builds. This isn't even needed, since the
script is executed in our build instead of sourced (so it won't change
the working directory of the surrounding build anyway).

Just remove the cd to make the build silent.

<title>ubsan, x86: Annotate and allow __ubsan_handle_shift_out_of_bounds() in uaccess regions</title>

[ Upstream commit 9a50dcaf0416a43e1fe411dc61a99c8333c90119 ]

The new check_zeroed_user() function uses variable shifts inside of a
user_access_begin()/user_access_end() section and that results in GCC
emitting __ubsan_handle_shift_out_of_bounds() calls, even though
through value range analysis it would be able to see that the UB in
question is impossible.

Annotate and whitelist this UBSAN function; continued use of
user_access_begin()/user_access_end() will undoubtedly result in
further uses of function.

Explicitly check kvm_rebooting in kvm_spurious_fault() prior to invoking
BUG(), as opposed to assuming the caller has already done so.  Letting
kvm_spurious_fault() be called "directly" will allow VMX to better
optimize its low level assembly flows.

As a happy side effect, kvm_spurious_fault() no longer needs to be
marked as a dead end since it doesn't unconditionally BUG().

If the build user has the CFLAGS variable set in their environment,
objtool blindly appends to it, which can cause unexpected behavior.

Clobber CFLAGS to ensure consistent objtool compilation behavior.

Since we need to build this in !x86, we need to explicitely use the x86
files, not things like asm/insn.h, so we intentionally differ from the
master copy in the kernel sources, add -I diff directives to ignore just
these differences when checking for drift.

To allow using the -I trick that will be needed for checking the x86
insn decoder files.

Without the specific -I lines we still get the same warnings as before:

The next patch will add the -I lines for those files.

<title>objtool: Move x86 insn decoder to a common location</title>

The kernel tree has three identical copies of the x86 instruction
decoder.  Two of them are in the tools subdir.

The tools subdir is supposed to be completely standalone and separate
from the kernel.  So having at least one copy of the kernel decoder in
the tools subdir is unavoidable.  However, we don't need *two* of them.

Move objtool's copy of the decoder to a shared location, so that perf
will also be able to use it.

A clang build reported an (obvious) double CLAC while a GCC build did not;
it turns out that objtool only re-visits instructions if the first visit
was with AC=0. If OTOH the first visit was with AC=1, it completely ignores
any subsequent visit, even when it has AC=0.

Fix this by using a visited mask instead of a boolean, and (explicitly)
mark the AC state.
