commit 9d9b1ee0b2d1c9e02b2338c4a4b0a062d2d3edac upstream.

The TCP session does not terminate with TCP_USER_TIMEOUT when data
remain untransmitted due to zero window.

The number of unanswered zero-window probes (tcp_probes_out) is
reset to zero with incoming acks irrespective of the window size,
as described in tcp_probe_timer():

    RFC 1122 4.2.2.17 requires the sender to stay open indefinitely
    as long as the receiver continues to respond probes. We support
    this by default and reset icsk_probes_out with incoming ACKs.

This counter, however, is the wrong one to be used in calculating the
duration that the window remains closed and data remain untransmitted.
Thanks to Jonathan Maxwell &lt;jmaxwell37@gmail.com&gt; for diagnosing the
actual issue.

In this patch a new timestamp is introduced for the socket in order to
track the elapsed time for the zero-window probes that have not been
answered with any non-zero window ack.

Fixes: 9721e709fa68 ("tcp: simplify window probe aborting on USER_TIMEOUT")

<title>xen: Fix event channel callback via INTX/GSI</title>

[ Upstream commit 3499ba8198cad47b731792e5e56b9ec2a78a83a2 ]

For a while, event channel notification via the PCI platform device
has been broken, because we attempt to communicate with xenstore before
we even have notifications working, with the xs_reset_watches() call
in xs_init().

We tend to get away with this on Xen versions below 4.0 because we avoid
calling xs_reset_watches() anyway, because xenstore might not cope with
reading a non-existent key. And newer Xen *does* have the vector
callback support, so we rarely fall back to INTX/GSI delivery.

To fix it, clean up a bit of the mess of xs_init() and xenbus_probe()
startup. Call xs_init() directly from xenbus_init() only in the !XS_HVM
case, deferring it to be called from xenbus_probe() in the XS_HVM case
instead.

Then fix up the invocation of xenbus_probe() to happen either from its
device_initcall if the callback is available early enough, or when the
callback is finally set up. This means that the hack of calling
xenbus_probe() from a workqueue after the first interrupt, or directly
from the PCI platform device setup, is no longer needed.

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

  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 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.

[ Upstream commit 9b5948267adc9e689da609eb61cf7ed49cae5fa8 ]

With external metadata device, flush requests are not passed down to the
data device.

Fix this by submitting the flush request in dm_integrity_flush_buffers. In
order to not degrade performance, we overlap the data device flush with
the metadata device flush.

<title>vmlinux.lds.h: Add PGO and AutoFDO input sections</title>

commit eff8728fe69880d3f7983bec3fb6cea4c306261f upstream.

Basically, consider .text.{hot|unlikely|unknown}.* part of .text, too.

When compiling with profiling information (collected via PGO
instrumentations or AutoFDO sampling), Clang will separate code into
.text.hot, .text.unlikely, or .text.unknown sections based on profiling
information. After D79600 (clang-11), these sections will have a
trailing `.` suffix, ie.  .text.hot., .text.unlikely., .text.unknown..

When using -ffunction-sections together with profiling infomation,
either explicitly (FGKASLR) or implicitly (LTO), code may be placed in
sections following the convention:
.text.hot.&lt;foo&gt;, .text.unlikely.&lt;bar&gt;, .text.unknown.&lt;baz&gt;
where &lt;foo&gt;, &lt;bar&gt;, and &lt;baz&gt; are functions.  (This produces one section
per function; we generally try to merge these all back via linker script
so that we don't have 50k sections).

For the above cases, we need to teach our linker scripts that such
sections might exist and that we'd explicitly like them grouped
together, otherwise we can wind up with code outside of the
_stext/_etext boundaries that might not be mapped properly for some
architectures, resulting in boot failures.

If the linker script is not told about possible input sections, then
where the section is placed as output is a heuristic-laiden mess that's
non-portable between linkers (ie. BFD and LLD), and has resulted in many
hard to debug bugs.  Kees Cook is working on cleaning this up by adding
--orphan-handling=warn linker flag used in ARCH=powerpc to additional
architectures. In the case of linker scripts, borrowing from the Zen of
Python: explicit is better than implicit.

Also, ld.bfd's internal linker script considers .text.hot AND
.text.hot.* to be part of .text, as well as .text.unlikely and
.text.unlikely.*. I didn't see support for .text.unknown.*, and didn't
see Clang producing such code in our kernel builds, but I see code in
LLVM that can produce such section names if profiling information is
missing. That may point to a larger issue with generating or collecting
profiles, but I would much rather be safe and explicit than have to
debug yet another issue related to orphan section placement.
