[ Upstream commit 0e60f0b75884677fb9f4f2ad40d52b43451564d5 ]

Xtensa has two-argument MAKE_PC_FROM_RA macro to convert a0 to an actual
return address because when windowed ABI is used call{,x}{4,8,12}
opcodes stuff encoded window size into the top 2 bits of the register
that becomes a return address in the called function. Second argument of
that macro is supposed to be an address having these 2 topmost bits set
correctly, but the comment suggested that that could be the stack
address. However the stack doesn't have to be in the same 1GByte region
as the code, especially in noMMU XIP configurations.

Fix the comment and use either _text or regs-&gt;pc as the second argument
for the MAKE_PC_FROM_RA macro.

commit 1d3b7a788ca7435156809a6bd5b20c95b2370d45 upstream.

show_stack dumps raw stack contents which may trigger an unnecessary
KASAN report. Fix it by copying stack contents to a temporary buffer
with __memcpy and then printing that buffer instead of passing stack
pointer directly to the print_hex_dump.

commit 8939c58d68f97ce530f02d46c9f2b56c3ec88399 upstream.

xtensa gcc-13 has changed multiplication handling and may now use
__umulsidi3 helper where it used to use __muldi3. As a result building
the kernel with the new gcc may fail with the following error:

    linux/init/main.c:1287: undefined reference to `__umulsidi3'

Fix the build by providing __umulsidi3 implementation for xtensa.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Yu Zhao's Multi-Gen LRU patches are here. They've been under test in
   linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any
   negative reports (or any positive ones, come to that).

 - Also the Maple Tree from Liam Howlett. An overlapping range-based
   tree for vmas. It it apparently slightly more efficient in its own
   right, but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock
   contention.

   Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which
   could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees.

   Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat
   at [1]. This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately
   timed vacation. He is now back and we'll get this fixed up.

 - Dmitry Vyukov introduces KMSAN: the Kernel Memory Sanitizer. It uses
   clang-generated instrumentation to detect used-unintialized bugs down
   to the single bit level.

   KMSAN keeps finding bugs. New ones, as well as the legacy ones.

 - Yang Shi adds a userspace mechanism (madvise) to induce a collapse of
   memory into THPs.

 - Zach O'Keefe has expanded Yang Shi's madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to
   support file/shmem-backed pages.

 - userfaultfd updates from Axel Rasmussen

 - zsmalloc cleanups from Alexey Romanov

 - cleanups from Miaohe Lin: vmscan, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb and
   memory-failure

 - Huang Ying adds enhancements to NUMA balancing memory tiering mode's
   page promotion, with a new way of detecting hot pages.

 - memcg updates from Shakeel Butt: charging optimizations and reduced
   memory consumption.

 - memcg cleanups from Kairui Song.

 - memcg fixes and cleanups from Johannes Weiner.

 - Vishal Moola provides more folio conversions

 - Zhang Yi removed ll_rw_block() :(

 - migration enhancements from Peter Xu

 - migration error-path bugfixes from Huang Ying

 - Aneesh Kumar added ability for a device driver to alter the memory
   tiering promotion paths. For optimizations by PMEM drivers, DRM
   drivers, etc.

 - vma merging improvements from Jakub Matěn.

 - NUMA hinting cleanups from David Hildenbrand.

 - xu xin added aditional userspace visibility into KSM merging
   activity.

 - THP &amp; KSM code consolidation from Qi Zheng.

 - more folio work from Matthew Wilcox.

 - KASAN updates from Andrey Konovalov.

 - DAMON cleanups from Kaixu Xia.

 - DAMON work from SeongJae Park: fixes, cleanups.

 - hugetlb sysfs cleanups from Muchun Song.

 - Mike Kravetz fixes locking issues in hugetlbfs and in hugetlb core.

The objects placed at the head of vmlinux need special treatments:

 - arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile adds them to head-y in order to place
   them before other archives in the linker command line.

 - arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile adds them to extra-y instead of
   obj-y to avoid them going into built-in.a.

This commit gets rid of the latter.

Create vmlinux.a to collect all the objects that are unconditionally
linked to vmlinux. The objects listed in head-y are moved to the head
of vmlinux.a by using 'ar m'.

With this, arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile can consistently use obj-y
for builtin objects.

There is no *.o that is directly linked to vmlinux. Drop unneeded code
in scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py.

$(AR) mPi needs 'T' to workaround the llvm-ar bug. The fix was suggested
by Nathan Chancellor [1].

Use the VMA iterator instead.  Since VMA can no longer be NULL in the
loop, then deal with out-of-memory outside the loop.  This means a
slightly longer run time in the failure case (-ENOMEM) - it will run to
the end of the VMAs before erroring instead of in the middle of the loop.
