[ Upstream commit 2e14f94cf4bc2f15ca5362e81ca3a987c79e3062 ]

To prepare for more fixes, move this to arch/microblaze/Makefile.
Otherwise, the same "... is ready" would be printed multiple times.

<title>microblaze: adjust the help to the real behavior</title>

[ Upstream commit bafcc61d998c1ca18f556d92a0e95335ac68c7da ]

"make ARCH=microblaze help" mentions simpleImage.&lt;dt&gt;.unstrip,
but it is not a real Make target. It does not work because Makefile
assumes "system.unstrip" is the name of DT.

$ make ARCH=microblaze CROSS_COMPILE=microblaze-linux- simpleImage.system.unstrip
  [ snip ]
make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'arch/microblaze/boot/dts/system.unstrip.dtb', needed by 'arch/microblaze/boot/dts/system.dtb'.  Stop.
make: *** [Makefile;1060: arch/microblaze/boot/dts] Error 2
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

simpleImage.&lt;dt&gt; works like a phony target that generates multiple
images. Reflect the real behavior. I removed the DT directory path
information because it is already explained a few lines below.

While I am here, I deleted the redundant *_defconfig explanation.

The top-level Makefile caters to list available defconfig files:

  mmu_defconfig            - Build for mmu
  nommu_defconfig          - Build for nommu

[ Upstream commit ece97f3a5fb50cf5f98886fbc63c9665f2bb199d ]

simpleImage generation was broken for some time. This patch is fixing
steps how simpleImage.*.ub file is generated. Steps are objdump of
vmlinux and create .ub.
Also make sure that there is striped elf version with .strip suffix.

<title>futex: Remove duplicated code and fix undefined behaviour</title>

<id>177a981885cf9588ca5cbcaf2ce65ab0d4b4abb3</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 30d6e0a4190d37740e9447e4e4815f06992dd8c3 upstream.

There is code duplicated over all architecture's headers for
futex_atomic_op_inuser. Namely op decoding, access_ok check for uaddr,
and comparison of the result.

Remove this duplication and leave up to the arches only the needed
assembly which is now in arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser.

This effectively distributes the Will Deacon's arm64 fix for undefined
behaviour reported by UBSAN to all architectures. The fix was done in
commit 5f16a046f8e1 (arm64: futex: Fix undefined behaviour with
FUTEX_OP_OPARG_SHIFT usage). Look there for an example dump.

And as suggested by Thomas, check for negative oparg too, because it was
also reported to cause undefined behaviour report.

Note that s390 removed access_ok check in d12a29703 ("s390/uaccess:
remove pointless access_ok() checks") as access_ok there returns true.
We introduce it back to the helper for the sake of simplicity (it gets
optimized away anyway).

commit db0fa0cb0157 "scatterlist: use sg_phys()" did replacements of
the form:

    phys_addr_t phys = page_to_phys(sg_page(s));
    phys_addr_t phys = sg_phys(s) &amp; PAGE_MASK;

However, this breaks platforms where sizeof(phys_addr_t) &gt;
sizeof(unsigned long).  Revert for 4.3 and 4.4 to make room for a
combined helper in 4.5.

Pull strscpy string copy function implementation from Chris Metcalf.

Chris sent this during the merge window, but I waffled back and forth on
the pull request, which is why it's going in only now.

The new "strscpy()" function is definitely easier to use and more secure
than either strncpy() or strlcpy(), both of which are horrible nasty
interfaces that have serious and irredeemable problems.

strncpy() has a useless return value, and doesn't NUL-terminate an
overlong result.  To make matters worse, it pads a short result with
zeroes, which is a performance disaster if you have big buffers.

strlcpy(), by contrast, is a mis-designed "fix" for strlcpy(), lacking
the insane NUL padding, but having a differently broken return value
which returns the original length of the source string.  Which means
that it will read characters past the count from the source buffer, and
you have to trust the source to be properly terminated.  It also makes
error handling fragile, since the test for overflow is unnecessarily
subtle.

strscpy() avoids both these problems, guaranteeing the NUL termination
(but not excessive padding) if the destination size wasn't zero, and
making the overflow condition very obvious by returning -E2BIG.  It also
doesn't read past the size of the source, and can thus be used for
untrusted source data too.

So why did I waffle about this for so long?

Every time we introduce a new-and-improved interface, people start doing
these interminable series of trivial conversion patches.

And every time that happens, somebody does some silly mistake, and the
conversion patch to the improved interface actually makes things worse.
Because the patch is mindnumbing and trivial, nobody has the attention
span to look at it carefully, and it's usually done over large swatches
of source code which means that not every conversion gets tested.

So I'm pulling the strscpy() support because it *is* a better interface.
But I will refuse to pull mindless conversion patches.  Use this in
places where it makes sense, but don't do trivial patches to fix things
that aren't actually known to be broken.

* 'strscpy' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile:
  tile: use global strscpy() rather than private copy
  string: provide strscpy()
  Make asm/word-at-a-time.h available on all architectures
