commit 585fc0d2871c9318c949fbf45b1f081edd489e96 upstream.

If a new hugetlb page is allocated during fallocate it will not be
marked as active (set_page_huge_active) which will result in a later
isolate_huge_page failure when the page migration code would like to
move that page.  Such a failure would be unexpected and wrong.

Only export set_page_huge_active, just leave clear_page_huge_active as
static.  Because there are no external users.

<title>genirq/msi: Activate Multi-MSI early when MSI_FLAG_ACTIVATE_EARLY is set</title>

commit 4c457e8cb75eda91906a4f89fc39bde3f9a43922 upstream.

When MSI_FLAG_ACTIVATE_EARLY is set (which is the case for PCI),
__msi_domain_alloc_irqs() performs the activation of the interrupt (which
in the case of PCI results in the endpoint being programmed) as soon as the
interrupt is allocated.

But it appears that this is only done for the first vector, introducing an
inconsistent behaviour for PCI Multi-MSI.

Fix it by iterating over the number of vectors allocated to each MSI
descriptor. This is easily achieved by introducing a new
"for_each_msi_vector" iterator, together with a tiny bit of refactoring.

[ Upstream commit ac687e6e8c26181a33270efd1a2e2241377924b0 ]

There is a need to distinguish geniune per-cpu kthreads from kthreads
that happen to have a single CPU affinity.

Geniune per-cpu kthreads are kthreads that are CPU affine for
correctness, these will obviously have PF_KTHREAD set, but must also
have PF_NO_SETAFFINITY set, lest userspace modify their affinity and
ruins things.

However, these two things are not sufficient, PF_NO_SETAFFINITY is
also set on other tasks that have their affinities controlled through
other means, like for instance workqueues.

Therefore another bit is needed; it turns out kthread_create_per_cpu()
already has such a bit: KTHREAD_IS_PER_CPU, which is used to make
kthread_park()/kthread_unpark() work correctly.

Expose this flag and remove the implicit setting of it from
kthread_create_on_cpu(); the io_uring usage of it seems dubious at
best.

commit 9def3b1a07c41e21c68a0eb353e3e569fdd1d2b1 upstream.

Since commit c40aaaac1018 ("iommu/vt-d: Gracefully handle DMAR units
with no supported address widths") dmar.c needs struct iommu_device to
be selected. We can drop this dependency by not dereferencing struct
iommu_device if IOMMU_API is not selected and by reusing the information
stored in iommu-&gt;drhd-&gt;ignored instead.

This fixes the following build error when IOMMU_API is not selected:

drivers/iommu/dmar.c: In function ‘free_iommu’:
drivers/iommu/dmar.c:1139:41: error: ‘struct iommu_device’ has no member named ‘ops’
 1139 |  if (intel_iommu_enabled &amp;&amp; iommu-&gt;iommu.ops) {

commit 5fcd57505c002efc5823a7355e21f48dd02d5a51 upstream.

The only use of I_DIRTY_TIME_EXPIRE is to detect in
__writeback_single_inode() that inode got there because flush worker
decided it's time to writeback the dirty inode time stamps (either
because we are syncing or because of age). However we can detect this
directly in __writeback_single_inode() and there's no need for the
strange propagation with I_DIRTY_TIME_EXPIRE flag.

commit 5eee7bd7e245914e4e050c413dfe864e31805207 upstream.

This worked before, because we made all callers name their next pointer
"next". But in trying to be more "drop-in" ready, the silliness here is
revealed. This commit fixes the problem by making the macro argument and
the member use different names.

commit dcfea72e79b0aa7a057c8f6024169d86a1bbc84b upstream.

As part of the continual effort to remove direct usage of skb-&gt;next and
skb-&gt;prev, this patch adds a helper for iterating through the
singly-linked variant of skb lists, which are used for lists of GSO
packet. The name "skb_list_..." has been chosen to match the existing
function, "kfree_skb_list, which also operates on these singly-linked
lists, and the "..._walk_safe" part is the same idiom as elsewhere in
the kernel.

This patch removes the helper from wireguard and puts it into
linux/skbuff.h, while making it a bit more robust for general usage. In
particular, parenthesis are added around the macro argument usage, and it
now accounts for trying to iterate through an already-null skb pointer,
which will simply run the iteration zero times. This latter enhancement
means it can be used to replace both do { ... } while and while (...)
open-coded idioms.

This should take care of these three possible usages, which match all
current methods of iterations.

skb_list_walk_safe(segs, skb, next) { ... }
skb_list_walk_safe(skb, skb, next) { ... }
skb_list_walk_safe(segs, skb, segs) { ... }

Gcc appears to generate efficient code for each of these.

  kernel/elfcore.o: failed

Move the empty stubs into linux/elfcore.h as inline functions.  As only
two architectures use these, just use the architecture specific Kconfig
symbols to key off the declaration.

commit 6e7b64b9dd6d96537d816ea07ec26b7dedd397b9 upstream.

kernel/elfcore.c only contains weak symbols, which triggers a bug with
clang in combination with recordmcount:

commit dca5244d2f5b94f1809f0c02a549edf41ccd5493 upstream.

GCC versions &gt;= 4.9 and &lt; 5.1 have been shown to emit memory references
beyond the stack pointer, resulting in memory corruption if an interrupt
is taken after the stack pointer has been adjusted but before the
reference has been executed. This leads to subtle, infrequent data
corruption such as the EXT4 problems reported by Russell King at the
link below.

Life is too short for buggy compilers, so raise the minimum GCC version
required by arm64 to 5.1.

[ Upstream commit ee61cfd955a64a58ed35cbcfc54068fcbd486945 ]

It adds a stub acpi_create_platform_device() for !CONFIG_ACPI build, so
that caller doesn't have to deal with !CONFIG_ACPI build issue.
