commit 7f897acbe5d57995438c831670b7c400e9c0dc00 upstream.

Since the patch [1], building the kernel using a toolchain built with
binutils 2.33.1 prevents booting a sh4 system under Qemu.  Apply the patch
provided by Alan Modra [2] that fix alignment of rodata.

<title>x86, vmlinux.lds: Page-align end of ..page_aligned sections</title>

<content type='text'>
commit de2b41be8fcccb2f5b6c480d35df590476344201 upstream.

On x86-32 the idt_table with 256 entries needs only 2048 bytes. It is
page-aligned, but the end of the .bss..page_aligned section is not
guaranteed to be page-aligned.

As a result, objects from other .bss sections may end up on the same 4k
page as the idt_table, and will accidentially get mapped read-only during
boot, causing unexpected page-faults when the kernel writes to them.

This could be worked around by making the objects in the page aligned
sections page sized, but that's wrong.

Explicit sections which store only page aligned objects have an implicit
guarantee that the object is alone in the page in which it is placed. That
works for all objects except the last one. That's inconsistent.

Enforcing page sized objects for these sections would wreckage memory
sanitizers, because the object becomes artificially larger than it should
be and out of bound access becomes legit.

Align the end of the .bss..page_aligned and .data..page_aligned section on
page-size so all objects places in these sections are guaranteed to have
their own page.

[ Upstream commit cbedfe11347fe418621bd188d58a206beb676218 ]

Commit d66acc39c7ce ("bitops: Optimise get_order()") introduced a
compilation warning because "rx_frag_size" is an "ushort" while
PAGE_SHIFT here is 16.

The commit changed the get_order() to be a multi-line macro where
compilers insist to check all statements in the macro even when
__builtin_constant_p(rx_frag_size) will return false as "rx_frag_size"
is a module parameter.

commit 6b15f678fb7d5ef54e089e6ace72f007fe6e9895 upstream.

For architectures using __WARN_TAINT, the WARN_ON macro did not print
out the "cut here" string.  The other WARN_XXX macros would print "cut
here" inside __warn_printk, which is not called for WARN_ON since it
doesn't have a message to print.

commit 427503519739e779c0db8afe876c1b33f3ac60ae upstream.

The architecture implementations of 'arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser()' and
'futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic()' are permitted to return only -EFAULT,
-EAGAIN or -ENOSYS in the case of failure.

Update the comments in the asm-generic/ implementation and also a stray
reference in the robust futex documentation.

<title>x86/unwind/orc: Fix ORC unwind table alignment</title>

commit f76a16adc485699f95bb71fce114f97c832fe664 upstream.

The .orc_unwind section is a packed array of 6-byte structs.  It's
currently aligned to 6 bytes, which is causing warnings in the LLD
linker.

Six isn't a power of two, so it's not a valid alignment value.  The
actual alignment doesn't matter much because it's an array of packed
structs.  An alignment of two is sufficient.  In reality it always gets
aligned to four bytes because it comes immediately after the
4-byte-aligned .orc_unwind_ip section.

Change the currently empty defines for __PAGETABLE_PMD_FOLDED,
__PAGETABLE_PUD_FOLDED and __PAGETABLE_P4D_FOLDED to return 1.
This makes it possible to use __is_defined() to test if the
preprocessor define exists.

<title>vmlinux.lds.h: Fix linker warnings about orphan .LPBX sections</title>

Enabling both CONFIG_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION=y and
CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y results in linker warnings:

  warning: orphan section `.data..LPBX1' being placed in
  section `.data..LPBX1'.

LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION adds compiler flag -fdata-sections. This
option causes GCC to create separate data sections for data objects,
including those generated by GCC internally for gcov profiling. The
names of these objects start with a dot (.LPBX0, .LPBX1), resulting in
section names starting with 'data..'.

As section names starting with 'data..' are used for specific purposes
in the Linux kernel, the linker script does not automatically include
them in the output data section, resulting in the "orphan section"
linker warnings.

Fix this by specifically including sections named "data..LPBX*" in the
data section.
