commit 68fb3ca0e408e00db1c3f8fccdfa19e274c033be upstream.

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'.

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

[ Upstream commit b0150014878c32197cfa66e3e2f79e57f66babc0 ]

Place IRQ handlers such as gic_handle_irq() in the irqentry section even
if FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER is not enabled.  Without this, the stack
depot's filter_irq_stacks() does not correctly filter out IRQ stacks in
those configurations, which hampers deduplication and eventually leads
to "Stack depot reached limit capacity" splats with KASAN.

A similar fix was done for arm64 in commit f6794950f0e5ba37e3bbed
("arm64: set __exception_irq_entry with __irq_entry as a default").

Since commit 4e57a4ddf6b0 ("ARM: 9107/1: syscall: always store
thread_info-&gt;abi_syscall"), the seccomp selftests "syscall_errno"
and "syscall_faked" have been broken. Both seccomp and PTRACE depend
on using the special value of "-1" for skipping syscalls. This value
wasn't working because it was getting masked by __NR_SYSCALL_MASK in
both PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL and get_syscall_nr().

Explicitly test for -1 in PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL and get_syscall_nr(),
leaving it exposed when present, allowing tracers to skip syscalls
again.

[ Upstream commit dda5f312bb09e56e7a1c3e3851f2000eb2e9c879 ]

The sync_*() ops on arch/arm are defined in terms of the regular bitops
with no special handling. This is not correct, as UP kernels elide
barriers for the fully-ordered operations, and so the required ordering
is lost when such UP kernels are run under a hypervsior on an SMP
system.

Fix this by defining sync ops with the required barriers.

Note: On 32-bit arm, the sync_*() ops are currently only used by Xen,
which requires ARMv7, but the semantics can be implemented for ARMv6+.

Actually in no-MMU SoCs(i.e. i.MXRT) ZERO_PAGE(vaddr) expands to
```
virt_to_page(0)
```
that in order expands to:
```
pfn_to_page(virt_to_pfn(0))
```
and then virt_to_pfn(0) to:
```
        ((((unsigned long)(0) - PAGE_OFFSET) &gt;&gt; PAGE_SHIFT) +
         PHYS_PFN_OFFSET)
```
where PAGE_OFFSET and PHYS_PFN_OFFSET are the DRAM offset(0x80000000) and
PAGE_SHIFT is 12. This way we obtain 16MB(0x01000000) summed to the base of
DRAM(0x80000000).
When ZERO_PAGE(0) is then used, for example in bio_add_page(), the page
gets an address that is out of DRAM bounds.
So instead of using fake virtual page 0 let's allocate a dedicated
zero_page during paging_init() and assign it to a global 'struct page *
empty_zero_page' the same way mmu.c does and it's the same approach used
in m68k with commit dc068f462179 as discussed here[0]. Then let's move
ZERO_PAGE() definition to the top of pgtable.h to be in common between
mmu.c and nommu.c.

Store the frame address where arm_get_current_stackframe() looks for it
(ARM_r7 instead of ARM_fp if CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL=y). Otherwise frame-&gt;fp
gets set to 0, causing unwind_frame() to fail.

  # bpftrace -e 't:sched:sched_switch { @[kstack] = count(); exit(); }'
  Attaching 1 probe...
  @[
      __schedule+1059
  ]: 1

A typical first unwind instruction is 0x97 (SP = R7), so after executing
it SP ends up being 0 and -URC_FAILURE is returned.

  unwind_frame(pc = ac9da7d7 lr = 00000000 sp = c69bdda0 fp = 00000000)
  unwind_find_idx(ac9da7d7)
  unwind_exec_insn: insn = 00000097
  unwind_exec_insn: fp = 00000000 sp = 00000000 lr = 00000000 pc = 00000000

With this patch:

  # bpftrace -e 't:sched:sched_switch { @[kstack] = count(); exit(); }'
