tags: honor COMPILED_SOURCE with apart output directory

2018-05-23T01:36:28Z

[ Upstream commit cbf52a3e6a8a92beec6e0c70abf4111cd8f8faf7 ] When the kernel is compiled with an "O=" argument, the object files are not in the source tree, but in the build tree. This patch fixes O= build by looking for object files in the build tree.

scripts/kernel-doc: Don't fail with status != 0 if error encountered with -none

2018-03-04T15:28:25Z

[ Upstream commit e814bccbafece52a24e152d2395b5d49eef55841 ] My bisect scripts starting running into build failures when trying to compile 4.15-rc1 with the builds failing with things like: drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/sdio.c:2078: error: Cannot parse struct or union! The line in question is actually just a #define, but after some digging it turns out that my scripts pass W=1 and since commit 3a025e1d1c2ea ("Add optional check for bad kernel-doc comments") that results in kernel-doc running on each source file. The file in question has a badly formatted comment immediately before the #define: /** * struct brcmf_skbuff_cb reserves first two bytes in sk_buff::cb for * bus layer usage. */ which causes the regex in dump_struct to fail (lack of braces following struct declaration) and kernel-doc returns 1, which causes the build to fail. Fix the issue by always returning 0 from kernel-doc when invoked with -none. It successfully generates no documentation, and prints out any issues.

powerpc: Simplify module TOC handling

2018-03-01T03:09:48Z

[ Upstream commit c153693d7eb9eeb28478aa2deaaf0b4e7b5ff5e9 ] PowerPC64 uses the symbol .TOC. much as other targets use _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_. It identifies the value of the GOT pointer (or in powerpc parlance, the TOC pointer). Global offset tables are generally local to an executable or shared library, or in the kernel, module. Thus it does not make sense for a module to resolve a relocation against .TOC. to the kernel's .TOC. value. A module has its own .TOC., and indeed the powerpc64 module relocation processing ignores the kernel value of .TOC. and instead calculates a module-local value. This patch removes code involved in exporting the kernel .TOC., tweaks modpost to ignore an undefined .TOC., and the module loader to twiddle the section symbol so that .TOC. isn't seen as undefined. Note that if the kernel was compiled with -msingle-pic-base then ELFv2 would not have function global entry code setting up r2. In that case the module call stubs would need to be modified to set up r2 using the kernel .TOC. value, requiring some of this code to be reinstated. mpe: Furthermore a change in binutils master (not yet released) causes the current way we handle the TOC to no longer work when building with MODVERSIONS=y and RELOCATABLE=n. The symptom is that modules can not be loaded due to there being no version found for TOC.

genksyms: Handle string literals with spaces in reference files

2018-03-01T00:32:20Z

[ Upstream commit a78f70e8d65e88b9f631d073f68cb26dcd746298 ] The reference files use spaces to separate tokens, however, we must preserve spaces inside string literals. Currently the only case in the tree is struct edac_raw_error_desc in : $ KBUILD_SYMTYPES=1 make -s drivers/edac/amd64_edac.symtypes $ mv drivers/edac/amd64_edac.{symtypes,symref} $ KBUILD_SYMTYPES=1 make -s drivers/edac/amd64_edac.symtypes drivers/edac/amd64_edac.c:527: warning: amd64_get_dram_hole_info: modversion changed because of changes in struct edac_raw_error_desc Signed-off-by: Michal Marek Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

module: set __jump_table alignment to 8

2018-01-17T17:55:25Z

[ Upstream commit ab42632156becd35d3884ee5c14da2bedbf3149a ] For powerpc the __jump_table section in modules is not aligned, this causes a WARN_ON() splat when loading a module containing a __jump_table. Strict alignment became necessary with commit 3821fd35b58d ("jump_label: Reduce the size of struct static_key"), currently in linux-next, which uses the two least significant bits of pointers to __jump_table elements. Fix by forcing __jump_table to 8, which is the same alignment used for this section in the kernel proper.

checkpatch: silence perl 5.26.0 unescaped left brace warnings

2017-07-31T17:37:55Z

[ Upstream commit 8d81ae05d0176da1c54aeaed697fa34be5c5575e ] As of perl 5, version 26, subversion 0 (v5.26.0) some new warnings have occurred when running checkpatch. Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated here (and will be fatal in Perl 5.30), passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^(.\s*){ <-- HERE \s*/ at scripts/checkpatch.pl line 3544. Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated here (and will be fatal in Perl 5.30), passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^(.\s*){ <-- HERE \s*/ at scripts/checkpatch.pl line 3885. Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated here (and will be fatal in Perl 5.30), passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^(\+.*(?:do|\))){ <-- HERE / at scripts/checkpatch.pl line 4374. It seems perfectly reasonable to do as the warning suggests and simply escape the left brace in these three locations.

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

2017-01-13T01:56:57Z

[ Upstream commit 79e51b5c2deea542b3bb8c66e0d502230b017dde ] 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/has-stack-protector: add -fno-PIE

Without it the build stops: |Cannot use CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG: -fstack-protector-strong available but compiler is broken due to -mcmodel=kernel + -fPIE if -fPIE is enabled by default.

x86/mm: Expand the exception table logic to allow new handling options

2016-10-30T18:15:18Z

[ Upstream commit 548acf19234dbda5a52d5a8e7e205af46e9da840 ] Huge amounts of help from Andy Lutomirski and Borislav Petkov to produce this. Andy provided the inspiration to add classes to the exception table with a clever bit-squeezing trick, Boris pointed out how much cleaner it would all be if we just had a new field. Linus Torvalds blessed the expansion with: ' I'd rather not be clever in order to save just a tiny amount of space in the exception table, which isn't really criticial for anybody. ' The third field is another relative function pointer, this one to a handler that executes the actions. We start out with three handlers: 1: Legacy - just jumps the to fixup IP 2: Fault - provide the trap number in %ax to the fixup code 3: Cleaned up legacy for the uaccess error hack Signed-off-by: Tony Luck Reviewed-by: Borislav Petkov Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Gleixner Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/f6af78fcbd348cf4939875cfda9c19689b5e50b8.1455732970.git.tony.luck@intel.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin
