[ Upstream commit 03410e87563a122075c3721acc7d5510e41d8332 ]

die executes holding the spinlock of &amp;die.lock and unlock
it after printing the oops message.
However in the code if the notify_die() returns NOTIFY_STOP
, die() exit with returning 1 but never unlocked the spinlock.

Fix this by adding spin_unlock_irq(&amp;die.lock) before returning.

commit 896842284c6ccba25ec9d78b7b6e62cdd507c083 upstream.

fadvise64_64() has two 64-bit arguments at the wrong alignment
for hexagon, which turns them into a 7-argument syscall that is
not supported by Linux.

The downstream musl port for hexagon actually asks for a 6-argument
version the same way we do it on arm, csky, powerpc, so make the
kernel do it the same way to avoid having to change both.

commit 4f0712ccec09c071e221242a2db9a6779a55a949 upstream.

When building ARCH=hexagon defconfig:

function 'make_dead_task' [-Werror,-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
        make_dead_task(err);

commit 0e25498f8cd43c1b5aa327f373dd094e9a006da7 upstream.

There are two big uses of do_exit.  The first is it's design use to be
the guts of the exit(2) system call.  The second use is to terminate
a task after something catastrophic has happened like a NULL pointer
in kernel code.

Add a function make_task_dead that is initialy exactly the same as
do_exit to cover the cases where do_exit is called to handle
catastrophic failure.  In time this can probably be reduced to just a
light wrapper around do_task_dead. For now keep it exactly the same so
that there will be no behavioral differences introducing this new
concept.

Replace all of the uses of do_exit that use it for catastraphic
task cleanup with make_task_dead to make it clear what the code
is doing.

As part of this rename rewind_stack_do_exit
rewind_stack_and_make_dead.

[ 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.

Pull force_sig() argument change from Eric Biederman:
 "A source of error over the years has been that force_sig has taken a
  task parameter when it is only safe to use force_sig with the current
  task.

  The force_sig function is built for delivering synchronous signals
  such as SIGSEGV where the userspace application caused a synchronous
  fault (such as a page fault) and the kernel responded with a signal.

  Because the name force_sig does not make this clear, and because the
  force_sig takes a task parameter the function force_sig has been
  abused for sending other kinds of signals over the years. Slowly those
  have been fixed when the oopses have been tracked down.

  This set of changes fixes the remaining abusers of force_sig and
  carefully rips out the task parameter from force_sig and friends
  making this kind of error almost impossible in the future"

* 'siginfo-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: (27 commits)
  signal/x86: Move tsk inside of CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE in do_sigbus
  signal: Remove the signal number and task parameters from force_sig_info
  signal: Factor force_sig_info_to_task out of force_sig_info
  signal: Generate the siginfo in force_sig
  signal: Move the computation of force into send_signal and correct it.
  signal: Properly set TRACE_SIGNAL_LOSE_INFO in __send_signal
  signal: Remove the task parameter from force_sig_fault
  signal: Use force_sig_fault_to_task for the two calls that don't deliver to current
  signal: Explicitly call force_sig_fault on current
  signal/unicore32: Remove tsk parameter from __do_user_fault
  signal/arm: Remove tsk parameter from __do_user_fault
  signal/arm: Remove tsk parameter from ptrace_break
  signal/nds32: Remove tsk parameter from send_sigtrap
  signal/riscv: Remove tsk parameter from do_trap
  signal/sh: Remove tsk parameter from force_sig_info_fault
  signal/um: Remove task parameter from send_sigtrap
  signal/x86: Remove task parameter from send_sigtrap
  signal: Remove task parameter from force_sig_mceerr
  signal: Remove task parameter from force_sig
  signal: Remove task parameter from force_sigsegv
