[ Upstream commit 681ba73c72302214686401e707e2087ed11a6556 ]

ld.lld warns that the '.modinfo' section is not currently handled:

ld.lld: warning: kernel/built-in.a(workqueue.o):(.modinfo) is being placed in '.modinfo'
ld.lld: warning: kernel/built-in.a(printk/printk.o):(.modinfo) is being placed in '.modinfo'
ld.lld: warning: kernel/built-in.a(irq/spurious.o):(.modinfo) is being placed in '.modinfo'
ld.lld: warning: kernel/built-in.a(rcu/update.o):(.modinfo) is being placed in '.modinfo'

The '.modinfo' section was added in commit 898490c010b5 ("moduleparam:
Save information about built-in modules in separate file") to the DISCARDS
macro but Hexagon has never used that macro.  The unification of DISCARDS
happened in commit 023bf6f1b8bf ("linker script: unify usage of discard
definition") in 2009, prior to Hexagon being added in 2011.

Switch Hexagon over to the DISCARDS macro so that anything that is
expected to be discarded gets discarded.

<content type='text'>
Almost everyone implements dma_set_mask the same way, although some time
that's hidden in -&gt;set_dma_mask methods.

This patch consolidates those into a common implementation that either
calls -&gt;set_dma_mask if present or otherwise uses the default
implementation.  Some architectures used to only call -&gt;set_dma_mask
after the initial checks, and those instance have been fixed to do the
full work.  h8300 implemented dma_set_mask bogusly as a no-ops and has
been fixed.

Unfortunately some architectures overload unrelated semantics like changing
the dma_ops into it so we still need to allow for an architecture override
for now.

Migrate hexagon driver to the new 'set-state' interface provided by
clockevents core, the earlier 'set-mode' interface is marked obsolete
now.

This also enables us to implement callbacks for new states of clockevent
devices, for example: ONESHOT_STOPPED.

We weren't doing anything in the -&gt;set_mode() callback. So, this patch
doesn't provide any set-state callbacks.

flush_old_exec() has already done that.  Back on 2011 a bunch of
instances like that had been kicked out, but that hadn't taken
care of then-out-of-tree architectures, obviously, and they served
as reinfection vector...

<title>all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_struct</title>

<content type='text'>
If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target.  This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.

Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.

Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.

It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.

If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target.  This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.

Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.

Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.

It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.
