[ Upstream commit f39f18f3c3531aa802b58a20d39d96e82eb96c14 ]

Based on changes in the 2021 public version of the randstruct
out-of-tree GCC plugin[1], more carefully update the attributes on
resulting decls, to avoid tripping checks in GCC 15's
comptypes_check_enum_int() when it has been configured with
"--enable-checking=misc":

<title>randstruct: gcc-plugin: Remove bogus void member</title>

[ Upstream commit e136a4062174a9a8d1c1447ca040ea81accfa6a8 ]

When building the randomized replacement tree of struct members, the
randstruct GCC plugin would insert, as the first member, a 0-sized void
member. This appears as though it was done to catch non-designated
("unnamed") static initializers, which wouldn't be stable since they
depend on the original struct layout order.

This was accomplished by having the side-effect of the "void member"
tripping an assert in GCC internals (count_type_elements) if the member
list ever needed to be counted (e.g. for figuring out the order of members
during a non-designated initialization), which would catch impossible type
(void) in the struct:

security/landlock/fs.c: In function ‘hook_file_ioctl_common’:
security/landlock/fs.c:1745:61: internal compiler error: in count_type_elements, at expr.cc:7075
 1745 |                         .u.op = &amp;(struct lsm_ioctlop_audit) {
      |                                                             ^

static HOST_WIDE_INT
count_type_elements (const_tree type, bool for_ctor_p)
{
  switch (TREE_CODE (type))
...
    case VOID_TYPE:
    default:
      gcc_unreachable ();
    }
}

However this is a redundant safety measure since randstruct uses the
__designated_initializer attribute both internally and within the
__randomized_layout attribute macro so that this would be enforced
by the compiler directly even when randstruct was not enabled (via
-Wdesignated-init).

A recent change in Landlock ended up tripping the same member counting
routine when using a full-struct copy initializer as part of an anonymous
initializer. This, however, is a false positive as the initializer is
copying between identical structs (and hence identical layouts). The
"path" member is "struct path", a randomized struct, and is being copied
to from another "struct path", the "f_path" member:

        landlock_log_denial(landlock_cred(file-&gt;f_cred), &amp;(struct landlock_request) {
                .type = LANDLOCK_REQUEST_FS_ACCESS,
                .audit = {
                        .type = LSM_AUDIT_DATA_IOCTL_OP,
                        .u.op = &amp;(struct lsm_ioctlop_audit) {
                                .path = file-&gt;f_path,
                                .cmd = cmd,
                        },
                },
	...

As can be seen with the coming randstruct KUnit test, there appears to
be no behavioral problems with this kind of initialization when the void
member is removed from the randstruct GCC plugin, so remove it.

commit e7d24c0aa8e678f41457d1304e2091cac6fd1a2e upstream.

The .head.text section carries the startup code that runs with the MMU
off or with a translation of memory that deviates from the ordinary one.
So avoid instrumentation with the stackleak plugin, which already avoids
.init.text and .noinstr.text entirely.

The .noinstr.text section functions may not have "current()" sanely

currently redundant. Add a check for both. In an x86_64 defconfig build,

mainline commit: e6a71160cc145e18ab45195abf89884112e02dfb

The gimple-iterator.h header must be included before gimple-fold.h
starting with GCC 13. Reorganize gimple headers to work for all GCC
versions.

commit c40160f2998c897231f8454bf797558d30a20375 upstream.

While the latent entropy plugin mostly doesn't derive entropy from
get_random_const() for measuring the call graph, when __latent_entropy is
applied to a constant, then it's initialized statically to output from
get_random_const(). In that case, this data is derived from a 64-bit
seed, which means a buffer of 512 bits doesn't really have that amount
of compile-time entropy.

This patch fixes that shortcoming by just buffering chunks of
/dev/urandom output and doling it out as requested.

At the same time, it's important that we don't break the use of
-frandom-seed, for people who want the runtime benefits of the latent
entropy plugin, while still having compile-time determinism. In that
case, we detect whether gcc's set_random_seed() has been called by
making a call to get_random_seed(noinit=true) in the plugin init
function, which is called after set_random_seed() is called but before
anything that calls get_random_seed(noinit=false), and seeing if it's
zero or not. If it's not zero, we're in deterministic mode, and so we
just generate numbers with a basic xorshift prng.

Note that we don't detect if -frandom-seed is being used using the
documented local_tick variable, because it's assigned via:
   local_tick = (unsigned) tv.tv_sec * 1000 + tv.tv_usec / 1000;
which may well overflow and become -1 on its own, and so isn't
reliable: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=105171

[kees: The 256 byte rnd_buf size was chosen based on average (250),
 median (64), and std deviation (575) bytes of used entropy for a
 defconfig x86_64 build]

[ Upstream commit 27e9faf415dbf94af19b9c827842435edbc1fbbc ]

Since STRING_CST may not be NUL terminated, strncmp() was used for check
for equality. However, this may lead to mismatches for longer section
names where the start matches the tested-for string. Test for exact
equality by checking for the presences of NUL termination.

<title>scripts: make some scripts executable</title>

Set the x bit to some scripts to make them directly executable.

Especially, scripts/checkdeclares.pl is not hooked by anyone.
It should be executable since it is tedious to type
'perl scripts/checkdeclares.pl'.

The original patch [1] set the x bit properly, but it was lost when
it was merged as commit 21917bded72c ("scripts: a new script for
checking duplicate struct declaration").
