[ Upstream commit 9872916ad1a1a5e7d089e05166c85dbd65e5b0e8 ]

Newer compiler versions rightfully point out:

 kernel/kcsan/kcsan_test.c:591:41: error: variable 'dummy' is
 uninitialized when passed as a const pointer argument here
 [-Werror,-Wuninitialized-const-pointer]

       |                                                ^~~~~
 1 error generated.

Although this particular test does not care about the value stored in
the dummy atomic variable, let's silence the warning.

[ Upstream commit 59458fa4ddb47e7891c61b4a928d13d5f5b00aa0 ]

Ran Xiaokai reports that with a KCSAN-enabled PREEMPT_RT kernel, we can see
splats like:

| BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:48
| in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 1, non_block: 0, pid: 0, name: swapper/1

On a detected data race, KCSAN's reporting logic checks if it should
filter the report. That list is protected by the report_filterlist_lock
*non-raw* spinlock which may sleep on RT kernels.

Since KCSAN may report data races in any context, convert it to a
raw_spinlock.

This requires being careful about when to allocate memory for the filter
list itself which can be done via KCSAN's debugfs interface. Concurrent
modification of the filter list via debugfs should be rare: the chosen
strategy is to optimistically pre-allocate memory before the critical
section and discard if unused.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Nick Piggin's "shoot lazy tlbs" series, to improve the peformance of
   switching from a user process to a kernel thread.

 - More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang, Zhang Peng and Pankaj
   Raghav.

 - zsmalloc performance improvements from Sergey Senozhatsky.

 - Yue Zhao has found and fixed some data race issues around the
   alteration of memcg userspace tunables.

 - VFS rationalizations from Christoph Hellwig:
     - removal of most of the callers of write_one_page()
     - make __filemap_get_folio()'s return value more useful

 - Luis Chamberlain has changed tmpfs so it no longer requires swap
   backing. Use `mount -o noswap'.

 - Qi Zheng has made the slab shrinkers operate locklessly, providing
   some scalability benefits.

 - Keith Busch has improved dmapool's performance, making part of its
   operations O(1) rather than O(n).

 - Peter Xu adds the UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED feature to userfaultd,
   permitting userspace to wr-protect anon memory unpopulated ptes.

 - Kirill Shutemov has changed MAX_ORDER's meaning to be inclusive
   rather than exclusive, and has fixed a bunch of errors which were
   caused by its unintuitive meaning.

 - Axel Rasmussen give userfaultfd the UFFDIO_CONTINUE_MODE_WP feature,
   which causes minor faults to install a write-protected pte.

 - Vlastimil Babka has done some maintenance work on vma_merge():
   cleanups to the kernel code and improvements to our userspace test
   harness.

 - Cleanups to do_fault_around() by Lorenzo Stoakes.

 - Mike Rapoport has moved a lot of initialization code out of various
   mm/ files and into mm/mm_init.c.

 - Lorenzo Stoakes removd vmf_insert_mixed_prot(), which was added for
   DRM, but DRM doesn't use it any more.

 - Lorenzo has also coverted read_kcore() and vread() to use iterators
   and has thereby removed the use of bounce buffers in some cases.

 - Lorenzo has also contributed further cleanups of vma_merge().

 - Chaitanya Prakash provides some fixes to the mmap selftesting code.

 - Matthew Wilcox changes xfs and afs so they no longer take sleeping
   locks in -&gt;map_page(), a step towards RCUification of pagefaults.

 - Suren Baghdasaryan has improved mmap_lock scalability by switching to
   per-VMA locking.

 - Frederic Weisbecker has reworked the percpu cache draining so that it
   no longer causes latency glitches on cpu isolated workloads.

 - Mike Rapoport cleans up and corrects the ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER Kconfig
   logic.

 - Liu Shixin has changed zswap's initialization so we no longer waste a
   chunk of memory if zswap is not being used.

 - Yosry Ahmed has improved the performance of memcg statistics
   flushing.

 - David Stevens has fixed several issues involving khugepaged,
   userfaultfd and shmem.

 - Christoph Hellwig has provided some cleanup work to zram's IO-related
   code paths.

 - David Hildenbrand has fixed up some issues in the selftest code's
   testing of our pte state changing.

 - Pankaj Raghav has made page_endio() unneeded and has removed it.

 - Peter Xu contributed some rationalizations of the userfaultfd
   selftests.

 - Yosry Ahmed has fixed an issue around memcg's page recalim
   accounting.

 - Chaitanya Prakash has fixed some arm-related issues in the
   selftests/mm code.

 - Longlong Xia has improved the way in which KSM handles hwpoisoned
   pages.

 - Peter Xu fixes a few issues with uffd-wp at fork() time.

 - Stefan Roesch has changed KSM so that it may now be used on a
   per-process and per-cgroup basis.

     - make __filemap_get_folio()'s return value more useful

 - Luis Chamberlain has changed tmpfs so it no longer requires swap
   backing. Use `mount -o noswap'.

 - Qi Zheng has made the slab shrinkers operate locklessly, providing
   some scalability benefits.

 - Keith Busch has improved dmapool's performance, making part of its
   operations O(1) rather than O(n).

 - Peter Xu adds the UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED feature to userfaultd,
   permitting userspace to wr-protect anon memory unpopulated ptes.

 - Kirill Shutemov has changed MAX_ORDER's meaning to be inclusive
   rather than exclusive, and has fixed a bunch of errors which were
   caused by its unintuitive meaning.

 - Axel Rasmussen give userfaultfd the UFFDIO_CONTINUE_MODE_WP feature,
   which causes minor faults to install a write-protected pte.

 - Vlastimil Babka has done some maintenance work on vma_merge():
   cleanups to the kernel code and improvements to our userspace test
   harness.

 - Cleanups to do_fault_around() by Lorenzo Stoakes.

 - Mike Rapoport has moved a lot of initialization code out of various
   mm/ files and into mm/mm_init.c.

 - Lorenzo Stoakes removd vmf_insert_mixed_prot(), which was added for
   DRM, but DRM doesn't use it any more.

 - Lorenzo has also coverted read_kcore() and vread() to use iterators
   and has thereby removed the use of bounce buffers in some cases.

 - Lorenzo has also contributed further cleanups of vma_merge().

 - Chaitanya Prakash provides some fixes to the mmap selftesting code.

 - Matthew Wilcox changes xfs and afs so they no longer take sleeping
   locks in -&gt;map_page(), a step towards RCUification of pagefaults.

 - Suren Baghdasaryan has improved mmap_lock scalability by switching to
   per-VMA locking.

 - Frederic Weisbecker has reworked the percpu cache draining so that it
   no longer causes latency glitches on cpu isolated workloads.

 - Mike Rapoport cleans up and corrects the ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER Kconfig
   logic.

 - Liu Shixin has changed zswap's initialization so we no longer waste a
   chunk of memory if zswap is not being used.

 - Yosry Ahmed has improved the performance of memcg statistics
   flushing.

 - David Stevens has fixed several issues involving khugepaged,
   userfaultfd and shmem.

 - Christoph Hellwig has provided some cleanup work to zram's IO-related
   code paths.

 - David Hildenbrand has fixed up some issues in the selftest code's
   testing of our pte state changing.

 - Pankaj Raghav has made page_endio() unneeded and has removed it.

 - Peter Xu contributed some rationalizations of the userfaultfd
   selftests.

 - Yosry Ahmed has fixed an issue around memcg's page recalim
   accounting.

 - Chaitanya Prakash has fixed some arm-related issues in the
   selftests/mm code.

 - Longlong Xia has improved the way in which KSM handles hwpoisoned
   pages.

 - Peter Xu fixes a few issues with uffd-wp at fork() time.

 - Stefan Roesch has changed KSM so that it may now be used on a
   per-process and per-cgroup basis.

The console tracepoint is used by kcsan/kasan/kfence/kmsan test modules. 
Since this tracepoint is not exported, these modules iterate over all
available tracepoints to find the console trace point.  Export the trace
point so that it can be directly used.

Nathan reported that when building with GNU as and a version of clang that
defaults to DWARF5, the assembler will complain with:

  Error: non-constant .uleb128 is not supported

This is because `-g` defaults to the compiler debug info default. If the
assembler does not support some of the directives used, the above errors
occur. To fix, remove the explicit passing of `-g`.

All the test wants is that stack traces print valid function names, and
debug info is not required for that. (I currently cannot recall why I
added the explicit `-g`.)

The reason for this is that on certain arm64 configuration since
e35123d83ee3 ("arm64: lto: Strengthen READ_ONCE() to acquire when
CONFIG_LTO=y"), READ_ONCE() may be promoted to a full atomic acquire
instruction which cannot be used on unaligned addresses.

Fix it by avoiding READ_ONCE() in read_instrumented_memory(), and simply
forcing the compiler to do the required access by casting to the
appropriate volatile type. In terms of generated code this currently
only affects architectures that do not use the default READ_ONCE()
implementation.

The only downside is that we are not guaranteed atomicity of the access
itself, although on most architectures a plain load up to machine word
size should still be atomic (a fact the default READ_ONCE() still relies
on itself).

Size of the 'expect' array in the __report_matches is 1536 bytes, which
is exactly the default frame size warning limit of the xtensa
architecture.
As a result allmodconfig xtensa kernel builds with the gcc that does not

warning limit to 2K) fail with the following message:

  kernel/kcsan/kcsan_test.c:257:1: error: the frame size of 1680 bytes
    is larger than 1536 bytes

Fix it by dynamically allocating the 'expect' array.

Size of the 'expect' array in the __report_matches is 1536 bytes, which
is exactly the default frame size warning limit of the xtensa
architecture.
As a result allmodconfig xtensa kernel builds with the gcc that does not
support the compiler plugins (which otherwise would push the said
warning limit to 2K) fail with the following message:

  kernel/kcsan/kcsan_test.c:257:1: error: the frame size of 1680 bytes
    is larger than 1536 bytes

Fix it by dynamically allocating the 'expect' array.

Pull kernel hardening updates from Kees Cook:

 - Convert flexible array members, fix -Wstringop-overflow warnings, and
   fix KCFI function type mismatches that went ignored by maintainers
   (Gustavo A. R. Silva, Nathan Chancellor, Kees Cook)

 - Remove the remaining side-effect users of ksize() by converting
   dma-buf, btrfs, and coredump to using kmalloc_size_roundup(), add
   more __alloc_size attributes, and introduce full testing of all
   allocator functions. Finally remove the ksize() side-effect so that
   each allocation-aware checker can finally behave without exceptions

 - Introduce oops_limit (default 10,000) and warn_limit (default off) to
   provide greater granularity of control for panic_on_oops and
   panic_on_warn (Jann Horn, Kees Cook)

 - Introduce overflows_type() and castable_to_type() helpers for cleaner
   overflow checking

 - Improve code generation for strscpy() and update str*() kern-doc

 - Convert strscpy and sigphash tests to KUnit, and expand memcpy tests

 - Always use a non-NULL argument for prepare_kernel_cred()

 - Disable structleak plugin in FORTIFY KUnit test (Anders Roxell)

 - Adjust orphan linker section checking to respect CONFIG_WERROR (Xin
   Li)

 - Make sure siginfo is cleared for forced SIGKILL (haifeng.xu)

 - Fix um vs FORTIFY warnings for always-NULL arguments

* tag 'hardening-v6.2-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux: (31 commits)
  ksmbd: replace one-element arrays with flexible-array members
  hpet: Replace one-element array with flexible-array member
  um: virt-pci: Avoid GCC non-NULL warning
  signal: Initialize the info in ksignal
  lib: fortify_kunit: build without structleak plugin
  panic: Expose "warn_count" to sysfs
  panic: Introduce warn_limit
  panic: Consolidate open-coded panic_on_warn checks
  exit: Allow oops_limit to be disabled
  exit: Expose "oops_count" to sysfs
  exit: Put an upper limit on how often we can oops
  panic: Separate sysctl logic from CONFIG_SMP
  mm/pgtable: Fix multiple -Wstringop-overflow warnings
  mm: Make ksize() a reporting-only function
  kunit/fortify: Validate __alloc_size attribute results
  drm/sti: Fix return type of sti_{dvo,hda,hdmi}_connector_mode_valid()
  drm/fsl-dcu: Fix return type of fsl_dcu_drm_connector_mode_valid()
  driver core: Add __alloc_size hint to devm allocators
  overflow: Introduce overflows_type() and castable_to_type()
  coredump: Proactively round up to kmalloc bucket size
