commit 702600eef73033ddd4eafcefcbb6560f3e3a90f7 upstream.

Newer versions of awk spit out these fun warnings:
	awk: ../lib/raid6/unroll.awk:16: warning: regexp escape sequence `\#' is not a known regexp operator

As commit 700c1018b86d ("x86/insn: Fix awk regexp warnings") showed, it
turns out that there are a number of awk strings that do not need to be
escaped and newer versions of awk now warn about this.

Fix the string up so that no warning is produced.  The exact same kernel
module gets created before and after this patch, showing that it wasn't
needed.

[ Upstream commit 6862d2fc81859f88c1f3f660886427893f2b4f3f ]

Some devices may have big memory on chip, such as over 1G.  In some
cases, the nbytes maybe bigger then 4M which is the bounday of the
memory buddy system (4K default).

So use vzalloc_node() to allocate the bitmap.  Also use vfree to free
it.

<title>lib/genalloc.c: fix allocation of aligned buffer from non-aligned chunk</title>

[ Upstream commit 52fbf1134d479234d7e64ba9dcbaea23405f229e ]

gen_pool_alloc_algo() uses different allocation functions implementing
different allocation algorithms.  With gen_pool_first_fit_align()
allocation function, the returned address should be aligned on the
requested boundary.

If chunk start address isn't aligned on the requested boundary, the
returned address isn't aligned too.  The only way to get properly
aligned address is to initialize the pool with chunks aligned on the
requested boundary.  If want to have an ability to allocate buffers
aligned on different boundaries (for example, 4K, 1MB, ...), the chunk
start address should be aligned on the max possible alignment.

This happens because gen_pool_first_fit_align() looks for properly
aligned memory block without taking into account the chunk start address
alignment.

To fix this, we provide chunk start address to
gen_pool_first_fit_align() and change its implementation such that it
starts looking for properly aligned block with appropriate offset
(exactly as is done in CMA).

commit 5c089fd0c73411f2170ab795c9ffc16718c7d007 upstream.

If the entry is deleted from the IDR between the call to
radix_tree_iter_find() and rcu_dereference_raw(), idr_get_next()
will return NULL, which will end the iteration prematurely.  We should
instead continue to the next entry in the IDR.  This only happens if the
iteration is protected by the RCU lock.  Most IDR users use a spinlock
or semaphore to exclude simultaneous modifications.  It was noticed once
the PID allocator was converted to use the IDR, as it uses the RCU lock,
but there may be other users elsewhere in the kernel.

We can't use the normal pattern of calling radix_tree_deref_retry()
(which catches both a retry entry in a leaf node and a node entry in
the root) as the IDR supports storing entries which are unaligned,
which will trigger an infinite loop if they are encountered.  Instead,
we have to explicitly check whether the entry is a retry entry.

commit e80a0af4759a164214f02da157a3800753ce135f upstream.

Many kernel drivers contain code that allocates and frees both a
scatterlist and the pages that populate that scatterlist.
Introduce functions in lib/scatterlist.c that perform these tasks
instead of duplicating this functionality in multiple drivers.
Only include these functions in the build if CONFIG_SGL_ALLOC=y
to avoid that the kernel size increases if this functionality is
not used.

commit 5cbf2fff3bba8d3c6a4d47c1754de1cf57e2b01f upstream.

In the current code, we use the atomic_cmpxchg() to serialize the output
of the dump_stack(), but this implementation suffers the thundering herd
problem.  We have observed such kind of livelock on a Marvell cn96xx
board(24 cpus) when heavily using the dump_stack() in a kprobe handler.
Actually we can let the competitors to wait for the releasing of the
lock before jumping to atomic_cmpxchg().  This will definitely mitigate
the thundering herd problem.  Thanks Linus for the suggestion.

[ Upstream commit b751c52bb587ae66f773b15204ef7a147467f4c7 ]

The current default value (400) is too low on many systems (e.g.  some
ARM64 platform takes up 1000+ entries).

syzbot uses 16000 as default value, and has proved to be enough on beefy
configurations, so let's pick that value.

This consumes more RAM on boot (each entry is 160 bytes, so in total
~2.5MB of RAM), but the memory would later be freed (early_log is
__initdata).

[ Upstream commit d4fddac5a51c378c5d3e68658816c37132611e1f ]

In test_firmware_init(), the buffer pointed to by the global pointer
'test_fw_config' is allocated through kzalloc(). Then, the buffer is
initialized in __test_firmware_config_init(). In the case that the
initialization fails, the following execution in test_firmware_init() needs
to be terminated with an error code returned to indicate this failure.
However, the allocated buffer is not freed on this execution path, leading
to a memory leak bug.

To fix the above issue, free the allocated buffer before returning from
test_firmware_init().
