commit 5c47251e8c4903111608ddcba2a77c0c425c247c upstream.

A refcount issue can appeared in __fwnode_link_del() due to the
pr_debug() call:
  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 901 at lib/refcount.c:25 refcount_warn_saturate+0xe5/0x110
  Call Trace:
  &lt;TASK&gt;
  ...
  of_node_get+0x1e/0x30
  of_fwnode_get+0x28/0x40
  fwnode_full_name_string+0x34/0x90
  fwnode_string+0xdb/0x140

  ...
  __fwnode_link_del+0x25/0xa0
  fwnode_links_purge+0x39/0xb0
  of_node_release+0xd9/0x180
  ...

Indeed, an fwnode (of_node) is being destroyed and so, of_node_release()
is called because the of_node refcount reached 0.
From of_node_release() several function calls are done and lead to
a pr_debug() calls with %pfwf to print the fwnode full name.
The issue is not present if we change %pfwf to %pfwP.

To print the full name, %pfwf iterates over the current node and its
parents and obtain/drop a reference to all nodes involved.

In order to allow to print the full name (%pfwf) of a node while it is
being destroyed, do not obtain/drop a reference to this current node.

Fixes: a92eb7621b9f ("lib/vsprintf: Make use of fwnode API to obtain node names and separators")

<title>random: replace custom notifier chain with standard one</title>

commit 5acd35487dc911541672b3ffc322851769c32a56 upstream.

We previously rolled our own randomness readiness notifier, which only
has two users in the whole kernel. Replace this with a more standard
atomic notifier block that serves the same purpose with less code. Also
unexport the symbols, because no modules use it, only unconditional
builtins. The only drawback is that it's possible for a notification
handler returning the "stop" code to prevent further processing, but
given that there are only two users, and that we're unexporting this
anyway, that doesn't seem like a significant drawback for the
simplification we receive here.

<title>vsprintf: Fix %pK with kptr_restrict == 0</title>

[ Upstream commit 84842911322fc6a02a03ab9e728a48c691fe3efd ]

Although kptr_restrict is set to 0 and the kernel is booted with
no_hash_pointers parameter, the content of /proc/vmallocinfo is
lacking the real addresses.

  / # cat /proc/vmallocinfo
  0x(ptrval)-0x(ptrval)    8192 load_module+0xc0c/0x2c0c pages=1 vmalloc
  0x(ptrval)-0x(ptrval)   12288 start_kernel+0x4e0/0x690 pages=2 vmalloc
  0x(ptrval)-0x(ptrval)   12288 start_kernel+0x4e0/0x690 pages=2 vmalloc

    ...

According to the documentation for /proc/sys/kernel/, %pK is
equivalent to %p when kptr_restrict is set to 0.

Instead of hard-coding ((1UL &lt;&lt; NR_PAGEFLAGS) - 1) everywhere, introducing
PAGEFLAGS_MASK to make the code clear to get the page flags.

Ship minimal stdarg.h (1 type, 4 macros) as &lt;linux/stdarg.h&gt;.
stdarg.h is the only userspace header commonly used in the kernel.

GPL 2 version of &lt;stdarg.h&gt; can be extracted from

<title>module: add printk formats to add module build ID to stacktraces</title>

<id>9294523e3768030ae8afb84110bcecc66425a647</id>
<content type='text'>
Let's make kernel stacktraces easier to identify by including the build
ID[1] of a module if the stacktrace is printing a symbol from a module.
This makes it simpler for developers to locate a kernel module's full
debuginfo for a particular stacktrace.  Combined with
scripts/decode_stracktrace.sh, a developer can download the matching
debuginfo from a debuginfod[2] server and find the exact file and line
number for the functions plus offsets in a stacktrace that match the
module.  This is especially useful for pstore crash debugging where the
kernel crashes are recorded in something like console-ramoops and the
recovery kernel/modules are different or the debuginfo doesn't exist on
the device due to space concerns (the debuginfo can be too large for space
limited devices).

Originally, I put this on the %pS format, but that was quickly rejected
given that %pS is used in other places such as ftrace where build IDs
aren't meaningful.  There was some discussions on the list to put every
module build ID into the "Modules linked in:" section of the stacktrace
message but that quickly becomes very hard to read once you have more than
three or four modules linked in.  It also provides too much information
when we don't expect each module to be traversed in a stacktrace.  Having
the build ID for modules that aren't important just makes things messy.
Splitting it to multiple lines for each module quickly explodes the number
of lines printed in an oops too, possibly wrapping the warning off the
console.  And finally, trying to stash away each module used in a
callstack to provide the ID of each symbol printed is cumbersome and would
require changes to each architecture to stash away modules and return
their build IDs once unwinding has completed.

Instead, we opt for the simpler approach of introducing new printk formats
'%pS[R]b' for "pointer symbolic backtrace with module build ID" and '%pBb'
for "pointer backtrace with module build ID" and then updating the few
places in the architecture layer where the stacktrace is printed to use
this new format.

Before:

 Call trace:
  lkdtm_WARNING+0x28/0x30 [lkdtm]
  direct_entry+0x16c/0x1b4 [lkdtm]
  full_proxy_write+0x74/0xa4
  vfs_write+0xec/0x2e8

After:

 Call trace:
  lkdtm_WARNING+0x28/0x30 [lkdtm 6c2215028606bda50de823490723dc4bc5bf46f9]
