commit 4356e9f841f7fbb945521cef3577ba394c65f3fc upstream.

We've had issues with gcc and 'asm goto' before, and we created a
'asm_volatile_goto()' macro for that in the past: see commits
3f0116c3238a ("compiler/gcc4: Add quirk for 'asm goto' miscompilation
bug") and a9f180345f53 ("compiler/gcc4: Make quirk for
asm_volatile_goto() unconditional").

Then, much later, we ended up removing the workaround in commit
43c249ea0b1e ("compiler-gcc.h: remove ancient workaround for gcc PR
58670") because we no longer supported building the kernel with the
affected gcc versions, but we left the macro uses around.

Now, Sean Christopherson reports a new version of a very similar
problem, which is fixed by re-applying that ancient workaround.  But the
problem in question is limited to only the 'asm goto with outputs'
cases, so instead of re-introducing the old workaround as-is, let's
rename and limit the workaround to just that much less common case.

It looks like there are at least two separate issues that all hit in
this area:

 (a) some versions of gcc don't mark the asm goto as 'volatile' when it
     has outputs:

        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=98619
        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110420

     which is easy to work around by just adding the 'volatile' by hand.

 (b) Internal compiler errors:

        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110422

     which are worked around by adding the extra empty 'asm' as a
     barrier, as in the original workaround.

but the problem Sean sees may be a third thing since it involves bad
code generation (not an ICE) even with the manually added 'volatile'.

but the same old workaround works for this case, even if this feels a
bit like voodoo programming and may only be hiding the issue.

[ Upstream commit 7a92fc8b4d20680e4c20289a670d8fca2d1f2c1b ]

The pcpu setup when using the page allocator sets up a new vmalloc
mapping very early in the boot process, so early that it cannot use the
flush_cache_vmap() function which may depend on structures not yet
initialized (for example in riscv, we currently send an IPI to flush
other cpus TLB).

But on some architectures, we must call flush_cache_vmap(): for example,
in riscv, some uarchs can cache invalid TLB entries so we need to flush
the new established mapping to avoid taking an exception.

So fix this by introducing a new function flush_cache_vmap_early() which
is called right after setting the new page table entry and before
accessing this new mapping. This new function implements a local flush
tlb on riscv and is no-op for other architectures (same as today).

The prototype was hidden in an #ifdef on x86, which causes a warning:

Some architectures have a working prototype, while others don't.
Fix this by providing it in only one place that is always visible.

<title>kernel/Kconfig.kexec: drop select of KEXEC for CRASH_DUMP</title>

<content type='text'>
Ignat Korchagin complained that a potential config regression was
introduced by commit 89cde455915f ("kexec: consolidate kexec and crash
options into kernel/Kconfig.kexec").  Before the commit, CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP
has no dependency on CONFIG_KEXEC.  After the commit, CRASH_DUMP selects
KEXEC.  That enforces system to have CONFIG_KEXEC=y as long as
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=Y which people may not want.

In Ignat's case, he sets CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y, CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y and
CONFIG_KEXEC=n because kexec_load interface could have security issue if
kernel/initrd has no chance to be signed and verified.

CRASH_DUMP has select of KEXEC because Eric, author of above commit, met a
LKP report of build failure when posting patch of earlier version.  Please
see below link to get detail of the LKP report:

    https://lore.kernel.org/all/3e8eecd1-a277-2cfb-690e-5de2eb7b988e@oracle.com/T/#u

In fact, that LKP report is triggered because arm's &lt;asm/kexec.h&gt; is
wrapped in CONFIG_KEXEC ifdeffery scope.  That is wrong.  CONFIG_KEXEC
controls the enabling/disabling of kexec_load interface, but not kexec
feature.  Removing the wrongly added CONFIG_KEXEC ifdeffery scope in
&lt;asm/kexec.h&gt; of arm allows us to drop the select KEXEC for CRASH_DUMP. 
Meanwhile, change arch/arm/kernel/Makefile to let machine_kexec.o
relocate_kernel.o depend on KEXEC_CORE.

Pull probes fixes from Masami Hiramatsu:

 - Documentation update: Add a note about argument and return value
   fetching is the best effort because it depends on the type.

 - objpool: Fix to make internal global variables static in
   test_objpool.c.

 - kprobes: Unify kprobes_exceptions_nofify() prototypes. There are the
   same prototypes in asm/kprobes.h for some architectures, but some of
   them are missing the prototype and it causes a warning. So move the
   prototype into linux/kprobes.h.

 - tracing: Fix to check the tracepoint event and return event at
   parsing stage. The tracepoint event doesn't support %return but if
   $retval exists, it will be converted to %return silently. This finds
   that case and rejects it.

 - tracing: Fix the order of the descriptions about the parameters of
   __kprobe_event_gen_cmd_start() to be consistent with the argument
   list of the function.

Most architectures that support kprobes declare this function in their
own asm/kprobes.h header and provide an override, but some are missing
the prototype, which causes a warning for the __weak stub implementation:

Move the prototype into linux/kprobes.h so it is visible to all
the definitions.

Most architectures that support kprobes declare this function in their
own asm/kprobes.h header and provide an override, but some are missing
the prototype, which causes a warning for the __weak stub implementation:

kernel/kprobes.c:1865:12: error: no previous prototype for 'kprobe_exceptions_notify' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
 1865 | int __weak kprobe_exceptions_notify(struct notifier_block *self,

<title>arm64/arm: arm_pmuv3: perf: Don't truncate 64-bit registers</title>

<id>403edfa436286b21f5ffe6856ae5b36396e8966c</id>
<content type='text'>
The driver used to truncate several 64-bit registers such as PMCEID[n]
registers used to describe whether architectural and microarchitectural
events in range 0x4000-0x401f exist. Due to discarding the bits, the
driver made the events invisible, even if they existed.

Moreover, PMCCFILTR and PMCR registers have additional bits in the upper
32 bits. This patch makes them available although they aren't currently
used. Finally, functions handling PMXEVCNTR and PMXEVTYPER registers are
removed as they not being used at all.

Fixes: df29ddf4f04b ("arm64: perf: Abstract system register accesses away")

Pull tty and serial updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of tty/serial driver changes for 6.7-rc1. Included
  in here are:

   - console/vgacon cleanups and removals from Arnd

   - tty core and n_tty cleanups from Jiri

   - lots of 8250 driver updates and cleanups

   - sc16is7xx serial driver updates

   - dt binding updates

   - first set of port lock wrapers from Thomas for the printk fixes
     coming in future releases

   - other small serial and tty core cleanups and updates

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  issues"
