[ Upstream commit a6e60d84989fa0e91db7f236eda40453b0e44afa ]

The upcoming GCC 9 release extends the -Wmissing-attributes warnings
(enabled by -Wall) to C and aliases: it warns when particular function
attributes are missing in the aliases but not in their target.

In particular, it triggers for all the init/cleanup_module
aliases in the kernel (defined by the module_init/exit macros),
ending up being very noisy.

These aliases point to the __init/__exit functions of a module,
which are defined as __cold (among other attributes). However,
the aliases themselves do not have the __cold attribute.

Since the compiler behaves differently when compiling a __cold
function as well as when compiling paths leading to calls
to __cold functions, the warning is trying to point out
the possibly-forgotten attribute in the alias.

In order to keep the warning enabled, we decided to silence
this case. Ideally, we would mark the aliases directly
as __init/__exit. However, there are currently around 132 modules
in the kernel which are missing __init/__exit in their init/cleanup
functions (either because they are missing, or for other reasons,
e.g. the functions being called from somewhere else); and
a section mismatch is a hard error.

A conservative alternative was to mark the aliases as __cold only.
However, since we would like to eventually enforce __init/__exit
to be always marked,  we chose to use the new __copy function
attribute (introduced by GCC 9 as well to deal with this).
With it, we copy the attributes used by the target functions
into the aliases. This way, functions that were not marked
as __init/__exit won't have their aliases marked either,
and therefore there won't be a section mismatch.

Note that the warning would go away marking either the extern
declaration, the definition, or both. However, we only mark
the definition of the alias, since we do not want callers
(which only see the declaration) to be compiled as if the function
was __cold (and therefore the paths leading to those calls
would be assumed to be unlikely).

<title>compat_ioctl: pppoe: fix PPPOEIOCSFWD handling</title>

[ Upstream commit 055d88242a6046a1ceac3167290f054c72571cd9 ]

Support for handling the PPPOEIOCSFWD ioctl in compat mode was added in
linux-2.5.69 along with hundreds of other commands, but was always broken
sincen only the structure is compatible, but the command number is not,
due to the size being sizeof(size_t), or at first sizeof(sizeof((struct
sockaddr_pppox)), which is different on 64-bit architectures.

Guillaume Nault adds:

  And the implementation was broken until 2016 (see 29e73269aa4d ("pppoe:
  fix reference counting in PPPoE proxy")), and nobody ever noticed. I
  should probably have removed this ioctl entirely instead of fixing it.
  Clearly, it has never been used.

Fix it by adding a compat_ioctl handler for all pppoe variants that
translates the command number and then calls the regular ioctl function.

All other ioctl commands handled by pppoe are compatible between 32-bit
and 64-bit, and require compat_ptr() conversion.

This should apply to all stable kernels.

[ Upstream commit b2a57e334086602be56b74958d9f29b955cd157f ]

The kernel is self-contained project and can be built with bare-metal
toolchain.  But bare-metal toolchain doesn't define __linux__.  Because
of this u_quad_t type is not defined when using bare-metal toolchain and
codafs build fails.  This patch fixes it by defining u_quad_t type
unconditionally.

[ Upstream commit dfd6f9ad36368b8dbd5f5a2b2f0a4705ae69a323 ]

clang gets confused by an uninitialized variable in what looks
to it like a never executed code path:

arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c:618:13: error: variable 'polarity' is uninitialized when used here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized]
        polarity = polarity ? ACPI_ACTIVE_LOW : ACPI_ACTIVE_HIGH;
                   ^~~~~~~~
arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c:606:32: note: initialize the variable 'polarity' to silence this warning
        int rc, irq, trigger, polarity;
                                      ^
                                       = 0
arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c:617:12: error: variable 'trigger' is uninitialized when used here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized]
        trigger = trigger ? ACPI_LEVEL_SENSITIVE : ACPI_EDGE_SENSITIVE;
                  ^~~~~~~
arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c:606:22: note: initialize the variable 'trigger' to silence this warning
        int rc, irq, trigger, polarity;
                            ^
                             = 0

This is unfortunately a design decision in clang and won't be fixed.

Changing the acpi_get_override_irq() macro to an inline function
reliably avoids the issue.

[ Upstream commit dfd6f9ad36368b8dbd5f5a2b2f0a4705ae69a323 ]

clang gets confused by an uninitialized variable in what looks
to it like a never executed code path:

arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c:618:13: error: variable 'polarity' is uninitialized when used here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized]
        polarity = polarity ? ACPI_ACTIVE_LOW : ACPI_ACTIVE_HIGH;
                   ^~~~~~~~
arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c:606:32: note: initialize the variable 'polarity' to silence this warning
        int rc, irq, trigger, polarity;
                                      ^
                                       = 0
arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c:617:12: error: variable 'trigger' is uninitialized when used here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized]
        trigger = trigger ? ACPI_LEVEL_SENSITIVE : ACPI_EDGE_SENSITIVE;
                  ^~~~~~~
arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c:606:22: note: initialize the variable 'trigger' to silence this warning
        int rc, irq, trigger, polarity;
                            ^
                             = 0

This is unfortunately a design decision in clang and won't be fixed.

Changing the acpi_get_override_irq() macro to an inline function
reliably avoids the issue.

<title>sched/fair: Don't free p-&gt;numa_faults with concurrent readers</title>

commit 16d51a590a8ce3befb1308e0e7ab77f3b661af33 upstream.

When going through execve(), zero out the NUMA fault statistics instead of
freeing them.

During execve, the task is reachable through procfs and the scheduler. A
concurrent /proc/*/sched reader can read data from a freed -&gt;numa_faults
allocation (confirmed by KASAN) and write it back to userspace.
I believe that it would also be possible for a use-after-free read to occur
through a race between a NUMA fault and execve(): task_numa_fault() can
lead to task_numa_compare(), which invokes task_weight() on the currently
running task of a different CPU.

Another way to fix this would be to make -&gt;numa_faults RCU-managed or add
extra locking, but it seems easier to wipe the NUMA fault statistics on
execve.

<title>access: avoid the RCU grace period for the temporary subjective credentials</title>

commit d7852fbd0f0423937fa287a598bfde188bb68c22 upstream.

It turns out that 'access()' (and 'faccessat()') can cause a lot of RCU
work because it installs a temporary credential that gets allocated and
freed for each system call.

The allocation and freeing overhead is mostly benign, but because
credentials can be accessed under the RCU read lock, the freeing
involves a RCU grace period.

Which is not a huge deal normally, but if you have a lot of access()
calls, this causes a fair amount of seconday damage: instead of having a
nice alloc/free patterns that hits in hot per-CPU slab caches, you have
all those delayed free's, and on big machines with hundreds of cores,
the RCU overhead can end up being enormous.

But it turns out that all of this is entirely unnecessary.  Exactly
because access() only installs the credential as the thread-local
subjective credential, the temporary cred pointer doesn't actually need
to be RCU free'd at all.  Once we're done using it, we can just free it
synchronously and avoid all the RCU overhead.

So add a 'non_rcu' flag to 'struct cred', which can be set by users that
know they only use it in non-RCU context (there are other potential
users for this).  We can make it a union with the rcu freeing list head
that we need for the RCU case, so this doesn't need any extra storage.

Note that this also makes 'get_current_cred()' clear the new non_rcu
flag, in case we have filesystems that take a long-term reference to the
cred and then expect the RCU delayed freeing afterwards.  It's not
entirely clear that this is required, but it makes for clear semantics:
the subjective cred remains non-RCU as long as you only access it
synchronously using the thread-local accessors, but you _can_ use it as
a generic cred if you want to.

It is possible that we should just remove the whole RCU markings for
-&gt;cred entirely.  Only -&gt;real_cred is really supposed to be accessed
through RCU, and the long-term cred copies that nfs uses might want to
explicitly re-enable RCU freeing if required, rather than have
get_current_cred() do it implicitly.

But this is a "minimal semantic changes" change for the immediate
problem.

<title>elevator: fix truncation of icq_cache_name</title>

commit 9bd2bbc01d17ddd567cc0f81f77fe1163e497462 upstream.

gcc 7.1 reports the following warning:

    block/elevator.c: In function ‘elv_register’:
    block/elevator.c:898:5: warning: ‘snprintf’ output may be truncated before the last format character [-Wformat-truncation=]
         "%s_io_cq", e-&gt;elevator_name);
         ^~~~~~~~~~
    block/elevator.c:897:3: note: ‘snprintf’ output between 7 and 22 bytes into a destination of size 21

       ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
         "%s_io_cq", e-&gt;elevator_name);
         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The bug is that the name of the icq_cache is 6 characters longer than
the elevator name, but only ELV_NAME_MAX + 5 characters were reserved
for it --- so in the case of a maximum-length elevator name, the 'q'
character in "_io_cq" would be truncated by snprintf().  Fix it by
reserving ELV_NAME_MAX + 6 characters instead.

[ Upstream commit 6da9f775175e516fc7229ceaa9b54f8f56aa7924 ]

When debugging options are turned on, the rcu_read_lock() function
might not be inlined. This results in lockdep's print_lock() function
printing "rcu_read_lock+0x0/0x70" instead of rcu_read_lock()'s caller.
For example:

These "rcu_read_lock+0x0/0x70" strings are not providing any useful
