(commit 86a9df59 upstream) I was not seeing my linker flags getting added when using ld-option when cross compiling with Clang. Upon investigation, this seems to be due to a difference in how GCC vs Clang handle cross compilation. GCC is configured at build time to support one backend, that is implicit when compiling. Clang is explicit via the use of `-target <triple>` and ships with all supported backends by default. GNU Make feature test macros that compile then link will always fail when cross compiling with Clang unless Clang's triple is passed along to the compiler. For example: $ clang -x c /dev/null -c -o temp.o $ aarch64-linux-android/bin/ld -E temp.o aarch64-linux-android/bin/ld: unknown architecture of input file `temp.o' is incompatible with aarch64 output aarch64-linux-android/bin/ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 0000000000400078 $ echo $? 1 $ clang -target aarch64-linux-android- -x c /dev/null -c -o temp.o $ aarch64-linux-android/bin/ld -E temp.o aarch64-linux-android/bin/ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 00000000004002e4 $ echo $? 0 This causes conditional checks that invoke $(CC) without the target triple, then $(LD) on the result, to always fail.

commit 38c7b224ce22c25fed04007839edf974bd13439d upstream. New versions of gcc reasonably warn about the odd pattern of strncpy(p, q, strlen(q)); which really doesn't make sense: the strncpy() ends up being just a slow and odd way to write memcpy() in this case. There was a comment about _why_ the code used strncpy - to avoid the terminating NUL byte, but memcpy does the same and avoids the warning. Signed-off-by:

commit 9f3f1fd2 upstream. cc-option uses KBUILD_CFLAGS and KBUILD_CPPFLAGS when it determines whether an option is supported or not. This is fine for options used to build the kernel itself, however some components like the x86 boot code use a different set of flags. Add the new macro __cc-option which is a more generic version of cc-option with additional parameters. One parameter is the compiler with which the check should be performed, the other the compiler options to be used instead KBUILD_C*FLAGS. Refactor cc-option and hostcc-option to use __cc-option and move hostcc-option to scripts/Kbuild.include. Suggested-by:

commit a0ae981e upstream. Since commit c3f0d0bc ("kbuild, LLVMLinux: Add -Werror to cc-option to support clang"), cc-option and friends work nicely for clang. However, -Wno-unknown-warning-option makes clang happy with any unknown warning options even if -Werror is specified. Once -Wno-unknown-warning-option is added, any succeeding call of cc-disable-warning is evaluated positive, then unknown warning options are accepted. This should be dropped. Signed-off-by:

commit 7dd47b95 upstream. This part ended up in redundant code after touched by multiple people. [1] Commit 3234282f ("x86, asm: Fix CFI macro invocations to deal with shortcomings in gas") added parentheses for defined expressions to support old gas for x86. [2] Commit a22dcdb0 ("x86, asm: Fix ancient-GAS workaround") split the pattern into two to avoid parentheses for non-numeric expressions. [3] Commit 95a2f6f7 ("Partially revert patch that encloses asm-offset.h numbers in brackets") removed parentheses from numeric expressions as well because parentheses in MN10300 assembly have a special meaning (pointer access). Apparently, there is a conflict between [1] and [3]. After all, [3] took precedence, and a long time has passed since then. Now, merge the two patterns again because the first one is covered by the other. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 9c2af1c7377a8a6ef86e5cabf80978f3dbbb25c0 ] If Make gets a fatal signal while a shell is executing, it may delete the target file that the recipe was supposed to update. This is needed to make sure that it is remade from scratch when Make is next run; if Make is interrupted after the recipe has begun to write the target file, it results in an incomplete file whose time stamp is newer than that of the prerequisites files. Make automatically deletes the incomplete file on interrupt unless the target is marked .PRECIOUS. The situation is just the same as when the shell fails for some reasons. Usually when a recipe line fails, if it has changed the target file at all, the file is corrupted, or at least it is not completely updated. Yet the file’s time stamp says that it is now up to date, so the next time Make runs, it will not try to update that file. However, Make does not cater to delete the incomplete target file in this case. We need to add .DELETE_ON_ERROR somewhere in the Makefile to request it. scripts/Kbuild.include seems a suitable place to add it because it is included from almost all sub-makes. Please note .DELETE_ON_ERROR is not effective for phony targets. The external module building should never ever touch the kernel tree. The following recipe fails if include/generated/autoconf.h is missing. However, include/config/auto.conf is not deleted since it is a phony target. PHONY += include/config/auto.conf include/config/auto.conf: $(Q)test -e include/generated/autoconf.h -a -e $@ || ( \ echo >&2; \ echo >&2 " ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid."; \ echo >&2 " include/generated/autoconf.h or $@ are missing.";\ echo >&2 " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it."; \ echo >&2 ; \ /bin/false) Signed-off-by:

commit 914b087ff9e0e9a399a4927fa30793064afc0178 upstream. When $DEPMOD is not found, only print a warning instead of exiting with an error message and error status: Warning: 'make modules_install' requires /sbin/depmod. Please install it. This is probably in the kmod package. Change the Error to a Warning because "not all build hosts for cross compiling Linux are Linux systems and are able to provide a working port of depmod, especially at the file patch /sbin/depmod." I.e., "make modules_install" may be used to copy/install the loadable modules files to a target directory on a build system and then transferred to an embedded device where /sbin/depmod is run instead of it being run on the build system.

commit 0e410e15 upstream. With KASAN enabled the kernel has two different memset() functions, one with KASAN checks (memset) and one without (__memset). KASAN uses some macro tricks to use the proper version where required. For example memset() calls in mm/slub.c are without KASAN checks, since they operate on poisoned slab object metadata. The issue is that clang emits memset() calls even when there is no memset() in the source code. They get linked with improper memset() implementation and the kernel fails to boot due to a huge amount of KASAN reports during early boot stages. The solution is to add -fno-builtin flag for files with KASAN_SANITIZE := n marker.

commit 9564a8cf422d7b58f6e857e3546d346fa970191e upstream. I tried building using a freshly built Make (4.2.1-69-g8a731d1), but already the objtool build broke with orc_dump.c: In function ‘orc_dump’: orc_dump.c:106:2: error: ‘elf_getshnum’ is deprecated [-Werror=deprecated-declarations] if (elf_getshdrnum(elf, &nr_sections)) { Turns out that with that new Make, the backslash was not removed, so cpp didn't see a #include directive, grep found nothing, and -DLIBELF_USE_DEPRECATED was wrongly put in CFLAGS. Now, that new Make behaviour is documented in their NEWS file: * WARNING: Backward-incompatibility! Number signs (#) appearing inside a macro reference or function invocation no longer introduce comments and should not be escaped with backslashes: thus a call such as: foo := $(shell echo '#') is legal. Previously the number sign needed to be escaped, for example: foo := $(shell echo '\#') Now this latter will resolve to "\#". If you want to write makefiles portable to both versions, assign the number sign to a variable: C := \# foo := $(shell echo '$C') This was claimed to be fixed in 3.81, but wasn't, for some reason. To detect this change search for 'nocomment' in the .FEATURES variable. This also fixes up the two make-cmd instances to replace # with $(pound) rather than with \#. There might very well be other places that need similar fixup in preparation for whatever future Make release contains the above change, but at least this builds an x86_64 defconfig with the new make.

commit 867ac9d7 upstream. Objtool tries to silence 'unreachable instruction' warnings when it detects gcov is enabled, because gcov produces a lot of unreachable instructions and they don't really matter. However, the 0-day bot is still reporting some unreachable instruction warnings with CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL=y on GCC 4.6.4. As it turns out, objtool's gcov detection doesn't work with older versions of GCC because they don't create a bunch of symbols with the 'gcov.' prefix like newer versions of GCC do. Move the gcov check out of objtool and instead just create a new '--no-unreachable' flag which can be passed in by the kernel Makefile when CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL is defined. Also rename the 'nofp' variable to 'no_fp' for consistency with the new 'no_unreachable' variable. Reported-by:

[ Upstream commit 825d487583089f9a33d31650c9c41f6474aab7fc ] Some filesystems have timestamps with coarse precision that may allow for a recently built object file to have the same timestamp as the updated time on one of its dependency files. When that happens, the object file doesn't get rebuilt as it should. This is especially the case on filesystems that don't have sub-second time precision, such as ext3 or Ext4 with 128B inodes. Let's prevent that by making sure updated dependency files have a newer timestamp than the first file we created (i.e. autoksyms.h.tmpnew). Reported-by:

To fix it, introduce a new 'no_mainmenu_stmt' nonterminal that matches if there's no 'mainmenu' and adds the default prompt.

Hyphens are not legal characters in labels, so .dtb files built into the kernel with hyphens in the file name result in errors like the following: bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S: Assembler messages: bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:5: Error: : no such section bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:5: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `-' bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:6: Error: unrecognized opcode `__dtb_bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g_begin:' bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:8: Error: unrecognized opcode `__dtb_bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g_end:' bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:9: Error: : no such section bcm3368-netgear-cvg834g.dtb.S:9: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `-' Fix this by updating cmd_dt_S_dtb to transform all hyphens from the file name to underscores when constructing the labels. As of v4.16-rc2, 1139 .dts files across ARM64, ARM, MIPS and PowerPC contain hyphens in their names, but the issue only currently manifests on Broadcom MIPS platforms, as that is the only place where such files are built into the kernel. For example when CONFIG_DT_NETGEAR_CVG834G=y, or on BMIPS kernels when the dtbs target is used (in the latter case it admittedly shouldn't really build all the dtb.o files, but thats a separate issue).

[ Upstream commit e814bccb ] My bisect scripts starting running into build failures when trying to compile 4.15-rc1 with the builds failing with things like: drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/sdio.c:2078: error: Cannot parse struct or union! The line in question is actually just a #define, but after some digging it turns out that my scripts pass W=1 and since commit 3a025e1d ("Add optional check for bad kernel-doc comments") that results in kernel-doc running on each source file. The file in question has a badly formatted comment immediately before the #define: /** * struct brcmf_skbuff_cb reserves first two bytes in sk_buff::cb for * bus layer usage. */ which causes the regex in dump_struct to fail (lack of braces following struct declaration) and kernel-doc returns 1, which causes the build to fail. Fix the issue by always returning 0 from kernel-doc when invoked with -none. It successfully generates no documentation, and prints out any issues.

(cherry picked from commit caf7501a) There's a risk that a kernel which has full retpoline mitigations becomes vulnerable when a module gets loaded that hasn't been compiled with the right compiler or the right option. To enable detection of that mismatch at module load time, add a module info string "retpoline" at build time when the module was compiled with retpoline support. This only covers compiled C source, but assembler source or prebuilt object files are not checked. If a retpoline enabled kernel detects a non retpoline protected module at load time, print a warning and report it in the sysfs vulnerability file. [ tglx: Massaged changelog ] Signed-off-by:

commit e390f9a9 upstream. The '__unreachable' and '__func_stack_frame_non_standard' sections are only used at compile time. They're discarded for vmlinux but they should also be discarded for modules. Since this is a recurring pattern, prefix the section names with ".discard.". It's a nice convention and vmlinux.lds.h already discards such sections. Also remove the 'a' (allocatable) flag from the __unreachable section since it doesn't make sense for a discarded section.

[ Upstream commit d7059ca0 ] The command "make -j8 C=1 CHECK=scripts/coccicheck" produces lots of "coccicheck failed" error messages. Julia Lawall explained the Coccinelle behavior as follows: "The problem on the Coccinelle side is that it uses a subdirectory with the name of the semantic patch to store standard output and standard error for the different threads. I didn't want to use a name with the pid, so that one could easily find this information while Coccinelle is running. Normally the subdirectory is cleaned up when Coccinelle completes, so there is only one of them at a time. Maybe it is best to just add the pid. There is the risk that these subdirectories will accumulate if Coccinelle crashes in a way such that they don't get cleaned up, but Coccinelle could print a warning if it detects this case, rather than failing." When scripts/coccicheck is used as CHECK tool and -j option is given to Make, the whole of build process runs in parallel. So, multiple processes try to get access to the same subdirectory. I notice spatch creates the subdirectory only when it runs in parallel (i.e. --jobs <N> is given and <N> is greater than 1). Setting NPROC=1 is a reasonable solution; spatch does not create the subdirectory. Besides, ONLINE=1 mode takes a single file input for each spatch invocation, so there is no reason to parallelize it in the first place. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 2dbc644a ] For rpm-pkg and deb-pkg, a source tar file is created. All paths in the archive must be prefixed with the base name of the tar so that everything is contained in the directory when you extract it. Currently, scripts/package/Makefile uses a symlink for that, and removes it after the tar is created. If you terminate the build during the tar creation, the symlink is left over. Then, at the next package build, you will see a warning like follows: ln: '.' and 'kernel-4.14.0+/.' are the same file It is possible to fix it by adding -n (--no-dereference) option to the "ln" command, but a cleaner way is to use --transform option of "tar" command. This option is GNU extension, but it should not hurt to use it in the Linux build system. The 'S' flag is needed to exclude symlinks from the path fixup. Without it, symlinks in the kernel are broken. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit ab426321 ] For powerpc the __jump_table section in modules is not aligned, this causes a WARN_ON() splat when loading a module containing a __jump_table. Strict alignment became necessary with commit 3821fd35 ("jump_label: Reduce the size of struct static_key"), currently in linux-next, which uses the two least significant bits of pointers to __jump_table elements. Fix by forcing __jump_table to 8, which is the same alignment used for this section in the kernel proper. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170301220453.4756-1-david.daney@cavium.comReviewed-by:

commit 8d81ae05 upstream. As of perl 5, version 26, subversion 0 (v5.26.0) some new warnings have occurred when running checkpatch. Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated here (and will be fatal in Perl 5.30), passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^(.\s*){ <-- HERE \s*/ at scripts/checkpatch.pl line 3544. Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated here (and will be fatal in Perl 5.30), passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^(.\s*){ <-- HERE \s*/ at scripts/checkpatch.pl line 3885. Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated here (and will be fatal in Perl 5.30), passed through in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^(\+.*(?:do|\))){ <-- HERE / at scripts/checkpatch.pl line 4374. It seems perfectly reasonable to do as the warning suggests and simply escape the left brace in these three locations.

commit 79e51b5c upstream. Currently it is impossible to edit the value of a config symbol with a prompt longer than (terminal width - 2) characters. dialog_inputbox() calculates a negative x-offset for the input window and newwin() fails as this is invalid. It also doesn't check for this failure, so it busy-loops calling wgetch(NULL) which immediately returns -1. The additions in the offset calculations also don't match the intended size of the window. Limit the window size and calculate the offset similarly to show_scroll_win(). Fixes: 692d97c3 ("kconfig: new configuration interface (nconfig)") Signed-off-by:

Previously the warnings were added back at the W=1 level and above, this now turns them on again by default, assuming that we have addressed all warnings and again have a clean build for v4.10. I found a number of new warnings in linux-next already and submitted bugfixes for those. Hopefully they are caught by the 0day builder in the future as soon as this patch is merged. Signed-off-by:

Traditionally, we have always had warnings about uninitialized variables enabled, as this is part of -Wall, and generally a good idea [1], but it also always produced false positives, mainly because this is a variation of the halting problem and provably impossible to get right in all cases [2]. Various people have identified cases that are particularly bad for false positives, and in commit e74fc973 ("Turn off -Wmaybe-uninitialized when building with -Os"), I turned off the warning for any build that was done with CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE. This drastically reduced the number of false positive warnings in the default build but unfortunately had the side effect of turning the warning off completely in 'allmodconfig' builds, which in turn led to a lot of warnings (both actual bugs, and remaining false positives) to go in unnoticed. With commit 877417e6 ("Kbuild: change CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE definition") enabled the warning again for allmodconfig builds in v4.7 and in v4.8-rc1, I had finally managed to address all warnings I get in an ARM allmodconfig build and most other maybe-uninitialized warnings for ARM randconfig builds. However, commit 6e8d666e ("Disable "maybe-uninitialized" warning globally") was merged at the same time and disabled it completely for all configurations, because of false-positive warnings on x86 that I had not addressed until then. This caused a lot of actual bugs to get merged into mainline, and I sent several dozen patches for these during the v4.9 development cycle. Most of these are actual bugs, some are for correct code that is safe because it is only called under external constraints that make it impossible to run into the case that gcc sees, and in a few cases gcc is just stupid and finds something that can obviously never happen. I have now done a few thousand randconfig builds on x86 and collected all patches that I needed to address every single warning I got (I can provide the combined patch for the other warnings if anyone is interested), so I hope we can get the warning back and let people catch the actual bugs earlier. This reverts the change to disable the warning completely and for now brings it back at the "make W=1" level, so we can get it merged into mainline without introducing false positives. A follow-up patch enables it on all levels unless some configuration option turns it off because of false-positives.
