This is a custom patch (no mainline equivalent) for stable backport only
to address 0-Day kernel test infra ARC 4.x.y builds errors.

The reason for this custom patch as that it is a single patch, touches
only ARC, vs. atleast two 7c2c11b208be09c1, dc8635b78cd8669 which touch
atleast 3 other arches (one long removed) and could potentially have a
fallout.

commit 64234961c145606b36eaa82c47b11be842b21049 upstream.

We used to have pre-set CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE with local path
to intramfs in ARC defconfigs. This was quite convenient for
in-house development but not that convenient for newcomers
who obviusly don't have folders like "arc_initramfs" next to
the Linux source tree. Which leads to quite surprising failure
of defconfig building:
-------------------------------&gt;8-----------------------------
  ../scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh: Cannot open '../../arc_initramfs_hs/'
../usr/Makefile:57: recipe for target 'usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz' failed
make[2]: *** [usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz] Error 1
-------------------------------&gt;8-----------------------------

So now when more and more people start to deal with our defconfigs
let's make their life easier with removal of CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE.

commit af1be2e21203867cb958aaceed5366e2e24b88e8 upstream.

ARC gcc prior to GNU 2018.03 release didn't have a target specific
__builtin_trap() implementation, generating default abort() call.

Implement the abort() call - emulating what newer gcc does for the same,
as suggested by Arnd.

[ Upstream commit 173a3efd3edb2ef6ef07471397c5f542a360e9c1 ]

Looking at functions with large stack frames across all architectures
led me discovering that BUG() suffers from the same problem as
fortify_panic(), which I've added a workaround for already.

In short, variables that go out of scope by calling a noreturn function
or __builtin_unreachable() keep using stack space in functions
afterwards.

A workaround that was identified is to insert an empty assembler
statement just before calling the function that doesn't return.  I'm
adding a macro "barrier_before_unreachable()" to document this, and
insert calls to that in all instances of BUG() that currently suffer
from this problem.

The files that saw the largest change from this had these frame sizes
before, and much less with my patch:

  fs/ext4/inode.c:82:1: warning: the frame size of 1672 bytes is larger than 800 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
  fs/ext4/namei.c:434:1: warning: the frame size of 904 bytes is larger than 800 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
  fs/ext4/super.c:2279:1: warning: the frame size of 1160 bytes is larger than 800 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
  fs/ext4/xattr.c:146:1: warning: the frame size of 1168 bytes is larger than 800 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

  net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_core.c:395:1: warning: the frame size of 1084 bytes is larger than 800 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
  net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_ftp.c:298:1: warning: the frame size of 928 bytes is larger than 800 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
  net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_ftp.c:418:1: warning: the frame size of 908 bytes is larger than 800 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
  net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_lblcr.c:718:1: warning: the frame size of 960 bytes is larger than 800 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
  drivers/net/xen-netback/netback.c:1500:1: warning: the frame size of 1088 bytes is larger than 800 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

In case of ARC and CRIS, it turns out that the BUG() implementation
actually does return (or at least the compiler thinks it does),
resulting in lots of warnings about uninitialized variable use and
leaving noreturn functions, such as:

  block/cfq-iosched.c: In function 'cfq_async_queue_prio':
  block/cfq-iosched.c:3804:1: error: control reaches end of non-void function [-Werror=return-type]
  include/linux/dmaengine.h: In function 'dma_maxpq':
  include/linux/dmaengine.h:1123:1: error: control reaches end of non-void function [-Werror=return-type]

This makes them call __builtin_trap() instead, which should normally
dump the stack and kill the current process, like some of the other
architectures already do.

I tried adding barrier_before_unreachable() to panic() and
fortify_panic() as well, but that had very little effect, so I'm not
submitting that patch.

The cast valid since TASK_SIZE * 2 will never actually cause overflow.

[ Upstream commit 0eca6fdb3193410fbe66b6f064431cc394513e82 ]

It is unlikely that designs running Linux will not have multiplier.
Further the current support is not complete as tool don't generate a
multilib w/o multiplier.

[ Upstream commit d5e3c55e01d8b1774b37b4647c30fb22f1d39077 ]

Newer ARC gcc handles lp_start, lp_end in a different way and doesn't
like them in the clobber list.

Change __ffs return value from 'int' to 'unsigned long' as it
is done in other implementations (like asm-generic, x86, etc...)
to avoid build-time warnings in places where type is strictly
checked.

As __ffs may return values in [0-31] interval changing return
type to unsigned is valid.

commit 252f6e8eae909bc075a1b1e3b9efb095ae4c0b56 upstream.

It is currently done in arc_init_IRQ() which might be too late
considering gcc 7.3.1 onwards (GNU 2018.03) generates unaligned
memory accesses by default
