commit a52e5cdbe8016d4e3e6322fd93d71afddb9a5af9 upstream.

The code which handles the ipl report is searching for a free location
in memory where it could copy the component and certificate entries to.
It checks for intersection between the sections required for the kernel
and the component/certificate data area, but fails to check whether
the data structures linking these data areas together intersect.

This might cause the iplreport copy code to overwrite the iplreport
itself. Fix this by adding two addtional intersection checks.

commit cbebd68f59f03633469f3ecf9bea99cd6cce3854 upstream.

cmdline_find_option() may fail before doing any initialization of
the buffer array. This may lead to unpredictable results when the same
buffer is used later in calls to strncmp() function.  Fix the issue by
returning early if cmdline_find_option() returns an error.

<title>KVM: nVMX: add missing consistency checks for CR0 and CR4</title>

commit 112e66017bff7f2837030f34c2bc19501e9212d5 upstream.

The effective values of the guest CR0 and CR4 registers may differ from
those included in the VMCS12.  In particular, disabling EPT forces
CR4.PAE=1 and disabling unrestricted guest mode forces CR0.PG=CR0.PE=1.

Therefore, checks on these bits cannot be delegated to the processor
and must be performed by KVM.

commit b99ddbe8336ee680257c8ab479f75051eaa49dcf upstream.

With CONFIG_VIRTIO_UML=y, GNU ld &lt; 2.36 fails to link UML vmlinux
(w/wo CONFIG_LD_SCRIPT_STATIC).

commit c1c551bebf928889e7a8fef7415b44f9a64975f4 upstream.

sh vmlinux fails to link with GNU ld &lt; 2.40 (likely &lt; 2.36) since
commit 99cb0d917ffa ("arch: fix broken BuildID for arm64 and riscv").

This is similar to fixes for powerpc and s390:
commit 4b9880dbf3bd ("powerpc/vmlinux.lds: Define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT").
commit a494398bde27 ("s390: define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT to fix link error

	/*
	 * .exit.text is discarded at runtime, not link time, to deal with
	 * references from __bug_table
	 */
	.exit.text : AT(ADDR(.exit.text)) { EXIT_TEXT }

However, EXIT_TEXT is thrown away by
DISCARD(include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h) because
sh does not define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT.

GNU ld 2.40 does not have this issue and builds fine.
This corresponds with Masahiro's comments in a494398bde27:
"Nathan [Chancellor] also found that binutils
commit 21401fc7bf67 ("Duplicate output sections in scripts") cured this
issue, so we cannot reproduce it with binutils 2.36+, but it is better

commit a494398bde273143c2352dd373cad8211f7d94b2 upstream.

Nathan Chancellor reports that the s390 vmlinux fails to link with
GNU ld &lt; 2.36 since commit 99cb0d917ffa ("arch: fix broken BuildID
for arm64 and riscv").

It happens for defconfig, or more specifically for CONFIG_EXPOLINE=y.

  $ s390x-linux-gnu-ld --version | head -n1
  GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.35.2
  $ make -s ARCH=s390 CROSS_COMPILE=s390x-linux-gnu- allnoconfig
  $ ./scripts/config -e CONFIG_EXPOLINE
  $ make -s ARCH=s390 CROSS_COMPILE=s390x-linux-gnu- olddefconfig
  $ make -s ARCH=s390 CROSS_COMPILE=s390x-linux-gnu-
  `.exit.text' referenced in section `.s390_return_reg' of drivers/base/dd.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/base/dd.o
  make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.vmlinux:34: vmlinux] Error 1
  make: *** [Makefile:1252: vmlinux] Error 2

arch/s390/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S wants to keep EXIT_TEXT:

        .exit.text : {
                EXIT_TEXT
        }

But, at the same time, EXIT_TEXT is thrown away by DISCARD because
s390 does not define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT.

I still do not understand why the latter wins after 99cb0d917ffa,
but defining RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT seems correct because the comment
line in arch/s390/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S says:

        /*
         * .exit.text is discarded at runtime, not link time,
         * to deal with references from __bug_table
         */

Nathan also found that binutils commit 21401fc7bf67 ("Duplicate output
sections in scripts") cured this issue, so we cannot reproduce it with
binutils 2.36+, but it is better to not rely on it.

arch/s390/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S wants to keep EXIT_TEXT:

        .exit.text : {
                EXIT_TEXT
        }

But, at the same time, EXIT_TEXT is thrown away by DISCARD because
s390 does not define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT.

I still do not understand why the latter wins after 99cb0d917ffa,
but defining RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT seems correct because the comment
line in arch/s390/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S says:

        /*
         * .exit.text is discarded at runtime, not link time,
         * to deal with references from __bug_table
         */

Nathan also found that binutils commit 21401fc7bf67 ("Duplicate output
sections in scripts") cured this issue, so we cannot reproduce it with
binutils 2.36+, but it is better to not rely on it.

<title>powerpc/vmlinux.lds: Don't discard .rela* for relocatable builds</title>

commit 07b050f9290ee012a407a0f64151db902a1520f5 upstream.

Relocatable kernels must not discard relocations, they need to be
processed at runtime. As such they are included for CONFIG_RELOCATABLE
builds in the powerpc linker script (line 340).

However they are also unconditionally discarded later in the
script (line 414). Previously that worked because the earlier inclusion
superseded the discard.

However commit 99cb0d917ffa ("arch: fix broken BuildID for arm64 and
riscv") introduced an earlier use of DISCARD as part of the RO_DATA
macro (line 137). With binutils &lt; 2.36 that causes the DISCARD
directives later in the script to be applied earlier, causing .rela* to
actually be discarded at link time, leading to build warnings and a
kernel that doesn't boot:

  ld: warning: discarding dynamic section .rela.init.rodata

Fix it by conditionally discarding .rela* only when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE
is disabled.

<title>powerpc/vmlinux.lds: Define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT</title>

commit 4b9880dbf3bdba3a7c56445137c3d0e30aaa0a40 upstream.

The powerpc linker script explicitly includes .exit.text, because
otherwise the link fails due to references from __bug_table and
__ex_table. The code is freed (discarded) at runtime along with
.init.text and data.

That has worked in the past despite powerpc not defining
RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT because DISCARDS appears late in the powerpc linker
script (line 410), and the explicit inclusion of .exit.text
earlier (line 280) supersedes the discard.

However commit 99cb0d917ffa ("arch: fix broken BuildID for arm64 and
riscv") introduced an earlier use of DISCARD as part of the RO_DATA
macro (line 136). With binutils &lt; 2.36 that causes the DISCARD
directives later in the script to be applied earlier [1], causing
.exit.text to actually be discarded at link time, leading to build
errors:

  '.exit.text' referenced in section '__bug_table' of crypto/algboss.o: defined in
  discarded section '.exit.text' of crypto/algboss.o
  '.exit.text' referenced in section '__ex_table' of drivers/nvdimm/core.o: defined in
  discarded section '.exit.text' of drivers/nvdimm/core.o

Fix it by defining RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT, which causes the generic
DISCARDS macro to not include .exit.text at all.

<title>x86, vmlinux.lds: Add RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT to generic DISCARDS</title>

commit 84d5f77fc2ee4e010c2c037750e32f06e55224b0 upstream.

In the x86 kernel, .exit.text and .exit.data sections are discarded at
runtime, not by the linker. Add RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT to generic DISCARDS
and define it in the x86 kernel linker script to keep them.

The sections are added before the DISCARD directive so document here
only the situation explicitly as this change doesn't have any effect on
the generated kernel. Also, other architectures like ARM64 will use it
too so generalize the approach with the RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT define.

<title>alpha: fix R_ALPHA_LITERAL reloc for large modules</title>

[ Upstream commit b6b17a8b3ecd878d98d5472a9023ede9e669ca72 ]

Previously, R_ALPHA_LITERAL relocations would overflow for large kernel
modules.

This was because the Alpha's apply_relocate_add was relying on the kernel's
module loader to have sorted the GOT towards the very end of the module as it
was mapped into memory in order to correctly assign the global pointer. While
this behavior would mostly work fine for small kernel modules, this approach
would overflow on kernel modules with large GOT's since the global pointer
would be very far away from the GOT, and thus, certain entries would be out of
range.

This patch fixes this by instead using the Tru64 behavior of assigning the
global pointer to be 32KB away from the start of the GOT. The change made
in this patch won't work for multi-GOT kernel modules as it makes the
assumption the module only has one GOT located at the beginning of .got,
although for the vast majority kernel modules, this should be fine. Of the
kernel modules that would previously result in a relocation error, none of
them, even modules like nouveau, have even come close to filling up a single
GOT, and they've all worked fine under this patch.
