commit 6e8d666e925333c55378e8d5540a8a9ee0eea9c5 upstream.

Several build configurations had already disabled this warning because
it generates a lot of false positives.  But some had not, and it was
still enabled for "allmodconfig" builds, for example.

Looking at the warnings produced, every single one I looked at was a
false positive, and the warnings are frequent enough (and big enough)
that they can easily hide real problems that you don't notice in the
noise generated by -Wmaybe-uninitialized.

The warning is good in theory, but this is a classic case of a warning
that causes more problems than the warning can solve.

If gcc gets better at avoiding false positives, we may be able to
re-enable this warning.  But as is, we're better off without it, and I
want to be able to see the *real* warnings.

commit 05d9d0b96e53c52a113fd783c0c97c830c8dc7af upstream.

Al reported potential issue with ARC get_user() as it wasn't clearing
out destination pointer in case of fault due to bad address etc.

Verified using following

| {
|  	u32 bogus1 = 0xdeadbeef;
|	u64 bogus2 = 0xdead;
|	int rc1, rc2;
|
|  	pr_info("Orig values %x %llx\n", bogus1, bogus2);
|	rc1 = get_user(bogus1, (u32 __user *)0x40000000);
|	rc2 = get_user(bogus2, (u64 __user *)0x50000000);
|	pr_info("access %d %d, new values %x %llx\n",
|		rc1, rc2, bogus1, bogus2);
| }

| [ARCLinux]# insmod /mnt/kernel-module/qtn.ko
| Orig values deadbeef dead
| access -14 -14, new values 0 0

<title>ARC: Call trace_hardirqs_on() before enabling irqs</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 18b43e89d295cc65151c505c643c98fb2c320e59 upstream.

trace_hardirqs_on_caller() in lockdep.c expects to be called before, not
after interrupts are actually enabled.

The following comment in kernel/locking/lockdep.c substantiates this
claim:

"
/*
 * We're enabling irqs and according to our state above irqs weren't
 * already enabled, yet we find the hardware thinks they are in fact
 * enabled.. someone messed up their IRQ state tracing.
 */
"

An example can be found in include/linux/irqflags.h:

	do { trace_hardirqs_on(); raw_local_irq_enable(); } while (0)

Without this change, we hit the following DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON.

<title>ARC: mm: fix build breakage with STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS</title>

commit 1c3c909303924d30145601f47b6c058fdd2cbc2e upstream.

|  CC      mm/memory.o
| In file included from ../mm/memory.c:53:0:
| ../include/linux/pfn_t.h: In function ‘pfn_t_pte’:
| ../include/linux/pfn_t.h:78:2: error: conversion to non-scalar type requested
|  return pfn_pte(pfn_t_to_pfn(pfn), pgprot);

With STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS pte_t is a struct and the offending code
forces a cast which ends up shifting a struct and hence the gcc warning.

Note that in recent past some of the arches (aarch64, s390) made
STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS default, but we don't for ARC as this leads to slightly
worse generated code, given ARC ABI definition of returning structs
(which pte_t would become)

Quoting from ARC ABI...

  "Results of type struct are returned in a caller-supplied temporary
  variable whose address is passed in r0.
  For such functions, the arguments are shifted so that they are
  passed in r1 and up."

So
 - struct to be returned would be allocated on stack requiring extra
   code at call sites
 - callee updates stack memory to facilitate the return (vs. simple
   MOV into return reg r0)

Hence STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS is not enabled by default for ARC

commit 86147e3cfa5e118b61e78f4f0bf29e920dcbd477 upstream.

User mode callee regs are explicitly collected before signal delivery or
breakpoint trap. r25 is special for kernel as it serves as task pointer,
so user mode value is clobbered very early. It is saved in pt_regs where
generally only scratch (aka caller saved) regs are saved.

The code to access the corresponding pt_regs location had a subtle bug as
it was using load/store with scaling of offset, whereas the offset was already
byte wise correct. So fix this by replacing LD.AS with a standard LD

commit 3925a16ae980c79d1a8fd182d7f9487da1edd4dc upstream.

LTP madvise05 was generating mm splat

And for newer kernels, the system was rendered unusable afterwards.

The problem was mprotect-&gt;pte_modify() clearing PTE_SPECIAL (which is
set to identify the special zero page wired to the pte).
When pte was finally unmapped, special casing for zero page was not
done, and instead it was treated as a "normal" page, tripping on the
map counts etc.

This fixes ARC STAR 9001053308

And for newer kernels, the system was rendered unusable afterwards.

The problem was mprotect-&gt;pte_modify() clearing PTE_SPECIAL (which is
set to identify the special zero page wired to the pte).
When pte was finally unmapped, special casing for zero page was not
done, and instead it was treated as a "normal" page, tripping on the
map counts etc.

This fixes ARC STAR 9001053308

If CONFIG_ARC_DW2_UNWIND is disabled every time arc_unwind_core()
gets called following message gets printed in debug console:
-----------------&gt;8---------------
CONFIG_ARC_DW2_UNWIND needs to be enabled
-----------------&gt;8---------------

That message makes sense if user indeed wants to see a backtrace or
get nice function call-graphs in perf but what if user disabled
unwinder for the purpose? Why pollute his debug console?

So instead we'll warn user about possibly missing feature once and
let him decide if that was what he or she really wanted.
