<content type='text'>
We've had issues with gcc and 'asm goto' before, and we created a
'asm_volatile_goto()' macro for that in the past: see commits
3f0116c3238a ("compiler/gcc4: Add quirk for 'asm goto' miscompilation
bug") and a9f180345f53 ("compiler/gcc4: Make quirk for
asm_volatile_goto() unconditional").

Then, much later, we ended up removing the workaround in commit
43c249ea0b1e ("compiler-gcc.h: remove ancient workaround for gcc PR
58670") because we no longer supported building the kernel with the
affected gcc versions, but we left the macro uses around.

Now, Sean Christopherson reports a new version of a very similar
problem, which is fixed by re-applying that ancient workaround.  But the
problem in question is limited to only the 'asm goto with outputs'
cases, so instead of re-introducing the old workaround as-is, let's
rename and limit the workaround to just that much less common case.

It looks like there are at least two separate issues that all hit in
this area:

 (a) some versions of gcc don't mark the asm goto as 'volatile' when it
     has outputs:

        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=98619
        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110420

     which is easy to work around by just adding the 'volatile' by hand.

 (b) Internal compiler errors:

        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110422

     which are worked around by adding the extra empty 'asm' as a
     barrier, as in the original workaround.

but the problem Sean sees may be a third thing since it involves bad
code generation (not an ICE) even with the manually added 'volatile'.

but the same old workaround works for this case, even if this feels a
bit like voodoo programming and may only be hiding the issue.

Pull security module updates from Paul Moore:

 - Add three new syscalls: lsm_list_modules(), lsm_get_self_attr(), and
   lsm_set_self_attr().

   The first syscall simply lists the LSMs enabled, while the second and
   third get and set the current process' LSM attributes. Yes, these
   syscalls may provide similar functionality to what can be found under
   /proc or /sys, but they were designed to support multiple,
   simultaneaous (stacked) LSMs from the start as opposed to the current
   /proc based solutions which were created at a time when only one LSM
   was allowed to be active at a given time.

   We have spent considerable time discussing ways to extend the
   existing /proc interfaces to support multiple, simultaneaous LSMs and
   even our best ideas have been far too ugly to support as a kernel
   API; after +20 years in the kernel, I felt the LSM layer had
   established itself enough to justify a handful of syscalls.

   Support amongst the individual LSM developers has been nearly
   unanimous, with a single objection coming from Tetsuo (TOMOYO) as he
   is worried that the LSM_ID_XXX token concept will make it more
   difficult for out-of-tree LSMs to survive. Several members of the LSM
   community have demonstrated the ability for out-of-tree LSMs to
   continue to exist by picking high/unused LSM_ID values as well as
   pointing out that many kernel APIs rely on integer identifiers, e.g.
   syscalls (!), but unfortunately Tetsuo's objections remain.

   My personal opinion is that while I have no interest in penalizing
   out-of-tree LSMs, I'm not going to penalize in-tree development to
   support out-of-tree development, and I view this as a necessary step
   forward to support the push for expanded LSM stacking and reduce our
   reliance on /proc and /sys which has occassionally been problematic
   for some container users. Finally, we have included the linux-api
   folks on (all?) recent revisions of the patchset and addressed all of
   their concerns.

 - Add a new security_file_ioctl_compat() LSM hook to handle the 32-bit
   ioctls on 64-bit systems problem.

   This patch includes support for all of the existing LSMs which
   provide ioctl hooks, although it turns out only SELinux actually
   cares about the individual ioctls. It is worth noting that while
   Casey (Smack) and Tetsuo (TOMOYO) did not give explicit ACKs to this
   patch, they did both indicate they are okay with the changes.

 - Fix a potential memory leak in the CALIPSO code when IPv6 is disabled
   at boot.

   While it's good that we are fixing this, I doubt this is something
   users are seeing in the wild as you need to both disable IPv6 and
   then attempt to configure IPv6 labeled networking via
   NetLabel/CALIPSO; that just doesn't make much sense.

   Normally this would go through netdev, but Jakub asked me to take
   this patch and of all the trees I maintain, the LSM tree seemed like
   the best fit.

 - Update the LSM MAINTAINERS entry with additional information about
   our process docs, patchwork, bug reporting, etc.

   I also noticed that the Lockdown LSM is missing a dedicated
   MAINTAINERS entry so I've added that to the pull request. I've been
   working with one of the major Lockdown authors/contributors to see if
   they are willing to step up and assume a Lockdown maintainer role;
   hopefully that will happen soon, but in the meantime I'll continue to
   look after it.

 - Add a handful of mailmap entries for Serge Hallyn and myself.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Many singleton patches against the MM code. The patch series which are
  included in this merge do the following:

   - Peng Zhang has done some mapletree maintainance work in the series

	'maple_tree: add mt_free_one() and mt_attr() helpers'
	'Some cleanups of maple tree'

   - In the series 'mm: use memmap_on_memory semantics for dax/kmem'
     Vishal Verma has altered the interworking between memory-hotplug
     and dax/kmem so that newly added 'device memory' can more easily
     have its memmap placed within that newly added memory.

   - Matthew Wilcox continues folio-related work (including a few fixes)
     in the patch series

	'Add folio_zero_tail() and folio_fill_tail()'
	'Make folio_start_writeback return void'
	'Fix fault handler's handling of poisoned tail pages'
	'Convert aops-&gt;error_remove_page to -&gt;error_remove_folio'
	'Finish two folio conversions'
	'More swap folio conversions'

   - Kefeng Wang has also contributed folio-related work in the series

	'mm: cleanup and use more folio in page fault'

   - Jim Cromie has improved the kmemleak reporting output in the series
     'tweak kmemleak report format'.

   - In the series 'stackdepot: allow evicting stack traces' Andrey
     Konovalov to permits clients (in this case KASAN) to cause eviction
     of no longer needed stack traces.

   - Charan Teja Kalla has fixed some accounting issues in the page
     allocator's atomic reserve calculations in the series 'mm:
     page_alloc: fixes for high atomic reserve caluculations'.

   - Dmitry Rokosov has added to the samples/ dorectory some sample code
     for a userspace memcg event listener application. See the series
     'samples: introduce cgroup events listeners'.

   - Some mapletree maintanance work from Liam Howlett in the series
     'maple_tree: iterator state changes'.

   - Nhat Pham has improved zswap's approach to writeback in the series
     'workload-specific and memory pressure-driven zswap writeback'.

   - DAMON/DAMOS feature and maintenance work from SeongJae Park in the
     series

	'mm/damon: let users feed and tame/auto-tune DAMOS'
	'selftests/damon: add Python-written DAMON functionality tests'
	'mm/damon: misc updates for 6.8'

   - Yosry Ahmed has improved memcg's stats flushing in the series 'mm:
     memcg: subtree stats flushing and thresholds'.

   - In the series 'Multi-size THP for anonymous memory' Ryan Roberts
     has added a runtime opt-in feature to transparent hugepages which
     improves performance by allocating larger chunks of memory during
     anonymous page faults.

   - Matthew Wilcox has also contributed some cleanup and maintenance
     work against eh buffer_head code int he series 'More buffer_head
     cleanups'.

   - Suren Baghdasaryan has done work on Andrea Arcangeli's series
     'userfaultfd move option'. UFFDIO_MOVE permits userspace heap
     compaction algorithms to move userspace's pages around rather than
     UFFDIO_COPY'a alloc/copy/free.

   - Stefan Roesch has developed a 'KSM Advisor', in the series 'mm/ksm:
     Add ksm advisor'. This is a governor which tunes KSM's scanning
     aggressiveness in response to userspace's current needs.

   - Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's temporary working memory use
     in the series 'mm/zswap: dstmem reuse optimizations and cleanups'.

   - Matthew Wilcox has performed some maintenance work on the writeback
     code, both code and within filesystems. The series is 'Clean up the
     writeback paths'.

   - Andrey Konovalov has optimized KASAN's handling of alloc and free
     stack traces for secondary-level allocators, in the series 'kasan:
     save mempool stack traces'.

   - Andrey also performed some KASAN maintenance work in the series
     'kasan: assorted clean-ups'.

   - David Hildenbrand has gone to town on the rmap code. Cleanups, more
     pte batching, folio conversions and more. See the series 'mm/rmap:
     interface overhaul'.

   - Kinsey Ho has contributed some maintenance work on the MGLRU code
     in the series 'mm/mglru: Kconfig cleanup'.

   - Matthew Wilcox has contributed lruvec page accounting code cleanups
     in the series 'Remove some lruvec page accounting functions'"

commit 23baf831a32c ("mm, treewide: redefine MAX_ORDER sanely") has
changed the definition of MAX_ORDER to be inclusive.  This has caused
issues with code that was not yet upstream and depended on the previous
definition.

To draw attention to the altered meaning of the define, rename MAX_ORDER
to MAX_PAGE_ORDER.
