[ Upstream commit 25a21fbb934a0d989e1858f83c2ddf4cfb2ebe30 ]
With GCOV_PROFILE_ALL, Clang injects __llvm_gcov_* functions to each
object file, including the *.mod.o. As we filter out CC_FLAGS_CFI
for *.mod.o, the compiler won't generate type hashes for the
injected functions, and therefore indirectly calling them during
module loading trips indirect call checking.
Enabling CFI for *.mod.o isn't sufficient to fix this issue after
commit 0c3e806ec0f9 ("x86/cfi: Add boot time hash randomization"),
as *.mod.o aren't processed by objtool, which means any hashes
emitted there won't be randomized. Therefore, in addition to
disabling CFI for *.mod.o, also disable GCOV, as the object files
don't otherwise contain any executable code.

The reference from 'get_bar' to 'foo' seems wrong.
I have no solution for this because it is true in assembly level.
In the following output, relocation at 0x1c is no longer associated
with 'bar'. The two relocation entries point to the same symbol, and
the offset to 'bar' is encoded in the instruction 'r0, [r3, #4]'.

When find_elf_symbol() gets into a situation where relsym->st_name is
zero, there is no guarantee to get the symbol name as written in C.
I am keeping the current logic because it is useful in many architectures,
but the symbol name is not always correct depending on the optimization.
I left some comments in find_tosym().

[ Upstream commit d0acc76a49aa917c1a455d11d32d34a01e8b2835 ]
find_extable_entry_size() is completely broken. It has awesome comments
about how to calculate sizeof(struct exception_table_entry).
It was based on these assumptions:
- struct exception_table_entry has two fields
- both of the fields have the same size
Then, we came up with this equation:
(offset of the second field) * 2 == (size of struct)
It was true for all architectures when commit 52dc0595d5 ("modpost:
handle relocations mismatch in __ex_table.") was applied.
Our mathematics broke when commit 548acf1923 ("x86/mm: Expand the
exception table logic to allow new handling options") introduced the
third field.
Now, the definition of exception_table_entry is highly arch-dependent.
For x86, sizeof(struct exception_table_entry) is apparently 12, but
find_extable_entry_size() sets extable_entry_size to 8.
I could fix it, but I do not see much value in this code.
extable_entry_size is used just for selecting a slightly different
error message.
If the first field ("insn") references to a non-executable section,
The relocation at %s+0x%lx references
section "%s" which is not executable, IOW
it is not possible for the kernel to fault
at that address. Something is seriously wrong
and should be fixed.
If the second field ("fixup") references to a non-executable section,
The relocation at %s+0x%lx references
section "%s" which is not executable, IOW
the kernel will fault if it ever tries to
jump to it. Something is seriously wrong
and should be fixed.
Merge the two error messages rather than adding even more complexity.
Change fatal() to error() to make it continue running and catch more
possible errors.

commit e1b37563caffc410bb4b55f153ccb14dede66815 upstream.
gtags considers any file outside of its current working directory
"outside the source tree" and refuses to index it. For O= kernel builds,
or when "make" is invoked from a directory other then the kernel source
tree, gtags ignores the entire kernel source and generates an empty
index.
Force-set gtags current working directory to the kernel source tree.
Due to commit 9da0763bdd ("kbuild: Use relative path when building in
a subdir of the source tree"), if the kernel build is done in a
sub-directory of the kernel source tree, the kernel Makefile will set
the kernel's $srctree to ".." for shorter compile-time and run-time
warnings. Consequently, the list of files to be indexed will be in the
"../*" form, rendering all such paths invalid once gtags switches to the
kernel source tree as its current working directory.
If gtags indexing is requested and the build directory is not the kernel
source tree, index all files in absolute-path form.
Note, indexing in absolute-path form will not affect the generated
index, as paths in gtags indices are always relative to the gtags "root
directory" anyway (as evidenced by "gtags --dump").

commit d5c8d6e0fa61401a729e9eb6a9c7077b2d3aebb0 upstream.
as-instr uses KBUILD_AFLAGS, but as-option uses KBUILD_CFLAGS. This can
cause as-option to fail unexpectedly when CONFIG_WERROR is set, because
clang will emit -Werror,-Wunused-command-line-argument for various -m
and -f flags in KBUILD_CFLAGS for assembler sources.
Callers of as-option and as-instr should be adding flags to
KBUILD_AFLAGS / aflags-y, not KBUILD_CFLAGS / cflags-y. Use
KBUILD_AFLAGS in all macros to clear up the initial problem.
Unfortunately, -Wunused-command-line-argument can still be triggered
with clang by the presence of warning flags or macro definitions because
'-x assembler' is used, instead of '-x assembler-with-cpp', which will
consume these flags. Switch to '-x assembler-with-cpp' in places where
'-x assembler' is used, as the compiler is always used as the driver for
out of line assembler sources in the kernel.
Finally, add -Werror to these macros so that they behave consistently
whether or not CONFIG_WERROR is set.
[nathan: Reworded and expanded on problems in commit message

modpost now reads CRCs from .*.cmd files, parsing them using strtol().
This is inconsistent with its parsing of Module.symvers and with their
definition as *unsigned* 32-bit values.
strtol() clamps values to [LONG_MIN, LONG_MAX], and when building on a
32-bit system this changes all CRCs >= 0x80000000 to be 0x7fffffff.

In the follow-up of commit fb3041d61f ("kbuild: fix SIGPIPE error
message for AR=gcc-ar and AR=llvm-ar"), Kees Cook pointed out that
tools should _not_ catch their own SIGPIPEs [1] [2].
Based on his feedback, LLVM was fixed [3].
However, Python's default behavior is to show noisy bracktrace when
SIGPIPE is sent. So, scripts written in Python are basically in the
same situation as the buggy llvm tools.
Example:
$ make -s allnoconfig
$ make -s allmodconfig
$ scripts/diffconfig .config.old .config | head -n1
-ALIX n

BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe
Python documentation [4] notes how to make scripts die immediately and

"""
Piping output of your program to tools like head(1) will cause a
SIGPIPE signal to be sent to your process when the receiver of its
standard output closes early. This results in an exception like
BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe. To handle this case,
wrap your entry point to catch this exception as follows:
import os
import sys
def main():
try:
# simulate large output (your code replaces this loop)
for x in range(10000):
print("y")
# flush output here to force SIGPIPE to be triggered
# while inside this try block.
sys.stdout.flush()
except BrokenPipeError:
# Python flushes standard streams on exit; redirect remaining output
# to devnull to avoid another BrokenPipeError at shutdown
devnull = os.open(os.devnull, os.O_WRONLY)
os.dup2(devnull, sys.stdout.fileno())
sys.exit(1) # Python exits with error code 1 on EPIPE
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
Do not set SIGPIPE’s disposition to SIG_DFL in order to avoid
BrokenPipeError. Doing that would cause your program to exit
unexpectedly whenever any socket connection is interrupted while
your program is still writing to it.
"""
Currently, tools/perf/scripts/python/intel-pt-events.py seems to be the
only script that fixes the issue that way.
tools/perf/scripts/python/compaction-times.py uses another approach
signal.signal(signal.SIGPIPE, signal.SIG_DFL) but the Python
documentation clearly says "Don't do it".
I cannot fix all Python scripts since there are so many.
I fixed some in the scripts/ directory.

After discussion with the GCC folks, we found that the kernel needs to be building
plugins with the same flags used to build GCC - and GCC defaults to gnu++17
right now. The minimum GCC version needed to build the kernel is GCC 5.1
and GCC 5.1 already defaults to gnu++14 anyway, so just drop the flag, as
all GCCs that could be used to build GCC already default to an acceptable

Starting with release 10.38 PCRE2 drops default support for using \K in
lookaround patterns as described in [1]. Unfortunately, scripts/tags.sh
relies on such functionality to collect all_compiled_soures() leading to
the following error:
$ make COMPILED_SOURCE=1 tags
GEN tags
grep: \K is not allowed in lookarounds (but see PCRE2_EXTRA_ALLOW_LOOKAROUND_BSK)
The usage of \K for this pattern was introduced in commit 4f491bb6ea
("scripts/tags.sh: collect compiled source precisely") which speeds up
the generation of tags significantly.
In order to fix this issue without compromising the performance we can
switch over to an equivalent sed expression. The same matching pattern
is preserved here except \K is replaced with a backreference \1.

a triple fault reboot, uses the old method. In 5.1, a new feature was
added that let the user write in the index into available_filter_functions
that maps to the function a user wants to set in set_ftrace_filter (or
set_ftrace_notrace). This takes O(1) to set, as suppose to writing a
function name, which takes O(n) (where n is the number of functions in
available_filter_functions).
The ftrace-bisect.sh requires setting half of the functions in
available_filter_functions, which is O(n^2) using the name method to enable
and can take several minutes to complete. The number method is O(n) which
takes less than a second to complete. Using the number method for any
kernel 5.1 and after is the proper way to do the bisect.
Update the usage to reflect the new change, as well as using the
/sys/kernel/tracing path instead of the obsolete debugfs path.
