<title>x86/vdso: Fix incorrect size in munmap() on map_vdso() failure</title>

<content type='text'>
In map_vdso(), if a failure occurs during the installation of the VVAR
mappings, the error path attempts to clean up previously allocated mappings
using do_munmap(). However, the cleanup for the VVAR mapping is incorrectly
using image-&gt;size (the size of the vDSO text) instead of the actual size
allocated for the VVAR area.

Replace the incorrect do_munmap() image-&gt;size parameter with the constant
VDSO_NR_PAGES * PAGE_SIZE. Ensure the unmap size exactly matches the size
used during the vdso_install_vvar_mapping() phase to provide a symmetrical
and complete teardown of the memory region.

The 32-bit VDSO build on x86_64 uses fake_32bit_build.h to undefine
various kernel configuration options that are not suitable for the VDSO
context or may cause build issues when including kernel headers.

Undefine CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP in fake_32bit_build.h to
prepare for change in HugeTLB Vmemmap Optimization.

Sparse complains rightfully when CONFIG_PARAVIRT_CLOCK and
CONFIG_HYPERV_TIMER are both not set:

  arch/x86/entry/vdso/vma.c:94:9: warning: switch with no cases

The #ifdeffery is not actually necessary as the compiler can optimize away
the branches already if these config options are not set.

Remove the #ifdeffery to make the code simpler and Sparse happy.

<title>x86/vdso: Use 32-bit CHECKFLAGS for compat vDSO</title>

<content type='text'>
When building the compat vDSO the CHECKFLAGS from the 64-bit kernel
are used. These are combined with the 32-bit CFLAGS. This confuses
sparse, producing false-positive warnings or potentially missing
real issues.

Manually override the CHECKFLAGS for the compat vDSO with the correct
32-bit configuration.

<title>x86/entry/vdso32: Work around libgcc unwinder bug</title>

<id>b5ef09a77d0b5213268300eedd8a7d28b4e92d47</id>
<content type='text'>
The unwinder code in libgcc has a long standing bug which causes it to
fail to pick up the signal frame CFI flag. This is a generic bug
across all platforms.

It affects the __kernel_sigreturn and __kernel_rt_sigreturn vdso entry
points on i386. The x86-64 kernel doesn't provide a sigreturn stub,
and so there is no kernel-provided code that is affected on x86-64.

libgcc does have a legacy fallback path which happens to work as long
as the bytes immediately before each of the sigreturn functions fall
outside any function. This patch adds a nop before the ALIGN to each
of the sigreturn stubs to ensure that this is, indeed, the case.

The rest of the patch is just a comment which documents the invariants
that need to be maintained for this legacy path to work correctly.

This is a manifest bug: in the current vdso, __kernel_vsyscall is a
multiple of 16 bytes long and thus __kernel_sigreturn does not have
any padding in front of it.

<title>x86: keep legacy generated vdso files around in .gitignore file</title>

Commit 93d73005bff4 ("x86/entry/vdso: Rename vdso_image_* to
vdso*_image") updated the vdso .gitignore file with the new filenames,
which is certainly not incorrect.

However, while adding new generated names is obviously the right thing
to do, you should *not* immediately remove the old filenames from the
.gitignore file when things move around or get renamed, because people
still have those old generated files in their build trees - and they
haven't suddenly become valid files to commit to the repository just
because they were moved or renamed.

While it's mostly just a slight visual nuisance for 'git status' that
can be fixed up with a clean build tree, it can become more serious than
that: see for example commit 04a3389b3535 ("Remove stale generated
'genheaders' file").

That commit removed up a stale generated file that had been carelessly
committed by a kernel developer because it wasn't properly ignored any
more and thus showed up as a new file in their tree.
