commit 830c1e3d16b2c1733cd1ec9c8f4d47a398ae31bc

With the following fix:

  2a0098d70640 ("objtool: Fix seg fault with gold linker")

... a seg fault was avoided, but the original seg fault condition in
objtool wasn't fixed.  Replace the seg fault with an error message.

commit 17bc33914bcc98ba3c6b426fd1c49587a25c0597

Now that the previous patch gave objtool the ability to read retpoline
alternatives, it shows a new warning:

  arch/x86/entry/entry_64.o: warning: objtool: .entry_trampoline: don't know how to handle alternatives at end of section

This is due to the JMP_NOSPEC in entry_SYSCALL_64_trampoline().

Previously, objtool ignored this situation because it wasn't needed, and
it would have required a bit of extra code.  Now that this case exists,
add proper support for it.

<content type='text'>
commit a845c7cf4b4cb5e9e3b2823867892b27646f3a98

Currently objtool requires all retpolines to be:

  a) patched in with alternatives; and

  b) annotated with ANNOTATE_NOSPEC_ALTERNATIVE.

If you forget to do both of the above, objtool segfaults trying to
dereference a NULL 'insn-&gt;call_dest' pointer.

Avoid that situation and print a more helpful error message:

  quirks.o: warning: objtool: efi_delete_dummy_variable()+0x99: unsupported intra-function call
  quirks.o: warning: objtool: If this is a retpoline, please patch it in with alternatives and annotate it with ANNOTATE_NOSPEC_ALTERNATIVE.

Future improvements can be made to make objtool smarter with respect to
retpolines, but this is a good incremental improvement for now.

commit ef54cf0c600fb8f5737fb001a9e357edda1a1de8 upstream.

usbip host binds to devices attached to vhci_hcd on the same server
when user does attach over localhost or specifies the server as the
remote.

usbip attach -r localhost -b busid
or
usbip attach -r servername (or server IP)

Unbind followed by bind works, however device is left in a bad state with
accesses via the attached busid result in errors and system hangs during
shutdown.

Fix it to check and bail out if the device is already attached to vhci_hcd.

cpuidle_monitor used to assume that cpu0 is always online which is not

the cpu on which the current thread is running, instead of always using

commit 1696784eb7b52b13b62d160c028ef2c2c981d4f2 upstream.

The GPIO tools build fails when using a buildroot toolchain that uses musl
as it's C library:

arm-broomstick-linux-musleabi-gcc -Wp,-MD,./.gpio-event-mon.o.d \
 -Wp,-MT,gpio-event-mon.o -O2 -Wall -g -D_GNU_SOURCE \
 -Iinclude -D"BUILD_STR(s)=#s" -c -o gpio-event-mon.o gpio-event-mon.c
gpio-event-mon.c:30:6: error: unknown type name ‘u_int32_t’; did you mean ‘uint32_t’?
      u_int32_t handleflags,
      ^~~~~~~~~
      uint32_t

The glibc headers installed on my laptop include sys/types.h in
unistd.h, but it appears that musl does not.

The glibc headers installed on my laptop include sys/types.h in
unistd.h, but it appears that musl does not.

[ upstream commit f37a8cb84cce18762e8f86a70bd6a49a66ab964c ]

Alexei found that verifier does not reject stores into context
via BPF_ST instead of BPF_STX. And while looking at it, we
also should not allow XADD variant of BPF_STX.

The context rewriter is only assuming either BPF_LDX_MEM- or
BPF_STX_MEM-type operations, thus reject anything other than
that so that assumptions in the rewriter properly hold. Add
test cases as well for BPF selftests.

commit 385d11b152c4eb638eeb769edcb3249533bb9a00 upstream.

If a nonexistent file is supplied to objtool, it complains with a
non-helpful error:

  open: No such file or directory

Improve it to:

  objtool: Can't open 'foo': No such file or directory
