module/retpoline: Warn about missing retpoline in module

2018-03-19T18:58:35Z

commit caf7501a1b4ec964190f31f9c3f163de252273b8 upstream. 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.

modpost: don't emit section mismatch warnings for compiler optimizations

2018-03-19T18:58:24Z

commit 4a3893d069b788f3570c19c12d9e986e8e15870f upstream. Currently an allyesconfig build [gcc-4.9.1] can generate the following: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text.unlikely+0x3864): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpumask_empty.constprop.3() to the variable .init.data:nmi_ipi_mask which comes from the cpumask_empty usage in arch/x86/kernel/nmi_selftest.c. Normally we would not see a symbol entry for cpumask_empty since it is: static inline bool cpumask_empty(const struct cpumask *srcp) however in this case, the variant of the symbol gets emitted when GCC does constant propagation optimization. Fix things up so that any locally optimized constprop variants don't warn when accessing variables that live in the __init sections.

modpost: reduce visibility of symbols and constify r/o arrays

2018-03-19T18:58:24Z

commit 7a3ee7538598e0d60e6aa87dcf34a4e8a0adebc2 upstream. Internally used symbols of modpost don't need to be externally visible; make them static. Also constify the string arrays so they resist in the r/o section instead of being runtime writable. Those changes lead to a small size reduction as can be seen below: text data bss dec hex filename 51381 2640 12416 66437 10385 scripts/mod/modpost.old 51765 2224 12416 66405 10365 scripts/mod/modpost.new Signed-off-by: Mathias Krause Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

kconfig/nconf: Fix hang when editing symbol with a long prompt

2017-03-16T02:18:30Z

commit 79e51b5c2deea542b3bb8c66e0d502230b017dde upstream. Currently it is impossible to edit the value of a config symbol with a prompt longer than (terminal width - 2) characters. dialog_inputbox() calculates a negative x-offset for the input window and newwin() fails as this is invalid. It also doesn't check for this failure, so it busy-loops calling wgetch(NULL) which immediately returns -1. The additions in the offset calculations also don't match the intended size of the window. Limit the window size and calculate the offset similarly to show_scroll_win().

scripts/bloat-o-meter: fix python3 syntax error

commit 72214a24a7677d4c7501eecc9517ed681b5f2db2 upstream. In Python3+ print is a function so the old syntax is not correct anymore: $ ./scripts/bloat-o-meter vmlinux.o vmlinux.o.old File "./scripts/bloat-o-meter", line 61 print "add/remove: %s/%s grow/shrink: %s/%s up/down: %s/%s (%s)" % \ ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax Fix by calling print as a function.

ftrace/scripts: Have recordmcount copy the object file

2016-01-22T21:40:05Z

commit a50bd43935586420fb75f4558369eb08566fac5e upstream. Russell King found that he had weird side effects when compiling the kernel with hard linked ccache. The reason was that recordmcount modified the kernel in place via mmap, and when a file gets modified twice by recordmcount, it will complain about it. To fix this issue, Russell wrote a patch that checked if the file was hard linked more than once and would unlink it if it was. Linus Torvalds was not happy with the fact that recordmcount does this in place modification. Instead of doing the unlink only if the file has two or more hard links, it does the unlink all the time. In otherwords, it always does a copy if it changed something. That is, it does the write out if a change was made. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

scripts: recordmcount: break hardlinks

2016-01-22T21:40:05Z

commit dd39a26538e37f6c6131e829a4a510787e43c783 upstream. recordmcount edits the file in-place, which can cause problems when using ccache in hardlink mode. Arrange for recordmcount to break a hardlinked object.

recordmcount: Fix endianness handling bug for nop_mcount

commit c84da8b9ad3761eef43811181c7e896e9834b26b upstream. In nop_mcount, shdr->sh_offset and welp->r_offset should handle endianness properly, otherwise it will trigger Segmentation fault if the recordmcount main and file.o have different endianness.

localmodconfig: Use Kbuild files too

2015-10-13T02:46:03Z

commit c0ddc8c745b7f89c50385fd7aa03c78dc543fa7a upstream. In kbuild it is allowed to define objects in files named "Makefile" and "Kbuild". Currently localmodconfig reads objects only from "Makefile"s and misses modules like nouveau.
