commit 2b81082ad37cc3f28355fb73a6a69b91ff7dbf20 upstream.

Commit 2f13daee2a72 ("lib/crypto/curve25519-hacl64: Disable KASAN with
clang-17 and older") inadvertently disabled KASAN in curve25519-hacl64.o
for GCC unconditionally because clang-min-version will always evaluate
to nothing for GCC. Add a check for CONFIG_CC_IS_CLANG to avoid applying
the workaround for GCC, which is only needed for clang-17 and older.

[ Upstream commit cb04e8b1d2f24c4c2c92f7b7529031fc35a16fed ]

We only had a couple of array[] declarations, and changing them to just
use 'MAX()' instead of 'max()' fixes the issue.

This will allow us to simplify our min/max macros enormously, since they
can now unconditionally use temporary variables to avoid using the
argument values multiple times.

<title>minmax: make generic MIN() and MAX() macros available everywhere</title>

[ Upstream commit 1a251f52cfdc417c84411a056bc142cbd77baef4 ]

This just standardizes the use of MIN() and MAX() macros, with the very
traditional semantics.  The goal is to use these for C constant
expressions and for top-level / static initializers, and so be able to
simplify the min()/max() macros.

These macro names were used by various kernel code - they are very
traditional, after all - and all such users have been fixed up, with a
few different approaches:

 - trivial duplicated macro definitions have been removed

   Note that 'trivial' here means that it's obviously kernel code that
   already included all the major kernel headers, and thus gets the new
   generic MIN/MAX macros automatically.

 - non-trivial duplicated macro definitions are guarded with #ifndef

   This is the "yes, they define their own versions, but no, the include
   situation is not entirely obvious, and maybe they don't get the
   generic version automatically" case.

 - strange use case #1

   A couple of drivers decided that the way they want to describe their
   versioning is with

	#define MAJ 1
	#define MIN 2
	#define DRV_VERSION __stringify(MAJ) "." __stringify(MIN)

   which adds zero value and I just did my Alexander the Great
   impersonation, and rewrote that pointless Gordian knot as

	#define DRV_VERSION "1.2"

   instead.

 - strange use case #2

   A couple of drivers thought that it's a good idea to have a random
   'MIN' or 'MAX' define for a value or index into a table, rather than
   the traditional macro that takes arguments.

   These values were re-written as C enum's instead. The new
   function-line macros only expand when followed by an open
   parenthesis, and thus don't clash with enum use.

Happily, there weren't really all that many of these cases, and a lot of
users already had the pattern of using '#ifndef' guarding (or in one
case just using '#undef MIN') before defining their own private version
that does the same thing. I left such cases alone.

<title>minmax: add in_range() macro</title>

[ Upstream commit f9bff0e31881d03badf191d3b0005839391f5f2b ]

Patch series "New page table range API", v6.

This patchset changes the API used by the MM to set up page table entries.
The four APIs are:

    set_ptes(mm, addr, ptep, pte, nr)
    update_mmu_cache_range(vma, addr, ptep, nr)
    flush_dcache_folio(folio)
    flush_icache_pages(vma, page, nr)

flush_dcache_folio() isn't technically new, but no architecture
implemented it, so I've done that for them.  The old APIs remain around
but are mostly implemented by calling the new interfaces.

The new APIs are based around setting up N page table entries at once.
The N entries belong to the same PMD, the same folio and the same VMA, so
ptep++ is a legitimate operation, and locking is taken care of for you.
Some architectures can do a better job of it than just a loop, but I have
hesitated to make too deep a change to architectures I don't understand
well.

One thing I have changed in every architecture is that PG_arch_1 is now a
per-folio bit instead of a per-page bit when used for dcache clean/dirty
tracking.  This was something that would have to happen eventually, and it
makes sense to do it now rather than iterate over every page involved in a
cache flush and figure out if it needs to happen.

The point of all this is better performance, and Fengwei Yin has measured
improvement on x86.  I suspect you'll see improvement on your architecture
too.  Try the new will-it-scale test mentioned here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20230206140639.538867-5-fengwei.yin@intel.com/
You'll need to run it on an XFS filesystem and have
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE set.

This patchset is the basis for much of the anonymous large folio work
being done by Ryan, so it's received quite a lot of testing over the last
few months.

This patch (of 38):

Determine if a value lies within a range more efficiently (subtraction +
comparison vs two comparisons and an AND).  It also has useful (under some
circumstances) behaviour if the range exceeds the maximum value of the
type.  Convert all the conflicting definitions of in_range() within the
kernel; some can use the generic definition while others need their own
definition.

commit 2f13daee2a72bb962f5fd356c3a263a6f16da965 upstream.

After commit 6f110a5e4f99 ("Disable SLUB_TINY for build testing"), which
causes CONFIG_KASAN to be enabled in allmodconfig again, arm64
allmodconfig builds with clang-17 and older show an instance of
-Wframe-larger-than (which breaks the build with CONFIG_WERROR=y):

  lib/crypto/curve25519-hacl64.c:757:6: error: stack frame size (2336) exceeds limit (2048) in 'curve25519_generic' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than]
    757 | void curve25519_generic(u8 mypublic[CURVE25519_KEY_SIZE],
        |      ^

When KASAN is disabled, the stack usage is roughly quartered:

  lib/crypto/curve25519-hacl64.c:757:6: error: stack frame size (608) exceeds limit (128) in 'curve25519_generic' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than]
    757 | void curve25519_generic(u8 mypublic[CURVE25519_KEY_SIZE],
        |      ^

Using '-Rpass-analysis=stack-frame-layout' shows the following variables
and many, many 8-byte spills when KASAN is enabled:

  Offset: [SP-144], Type: Variable, Align: 8, Size: 40
  Offset: [SP-464], Type: Variable, Align: 8, Size: 320
  Offset: [SP-784], Type: Variable, Align: 8, Size: 320
  Offset: [SP-864], Type: Variable, Align: 32, Size: 80
  Offset: [SP-896], Type: Variable, Align: 32, Size: 32
  Offset: [SP-1016], Type: Variable, Align: 8, Size: 120

When KASAN is disabled, there are still spills but not at many and the
variables list is smaller:

  Offset: [SP-192], Type: Variable, Align: 32, Size: 80
  Offset: [SP-224], Type: Variable, Align: 32, Size: 32
  Offset: [SP-344], Type: Variable, Align: 8, Size: 120

Disable KASAN for this file when using clang-17 or older to avoid
blowing out the stack, clearing up the warning.

commit 1260cbcffa608219fc9188a6cbe9c45a300ef8b5 upstream.

Make sure to drop the reference taken when looking up the genpool platform
device in of_gen_pool_get() before returning the pool.

Note that holding a reference to a device does typically not prevent its
devres managed resources from being released so there is no point in
keeping the reference.

commit 1260cbcffa608219fc9188a6cbe9c45a300ef8b5 upstream.

Make sure to drop the reference taken when looking up the genpool platform
device in of_gen_pool_get() before returning the pool.

Note that holding a reference to a device does typically not prevent its
devres managed resources from being released so there is no point in
keeping the reference.

[ Upstream commit e6ed134a4ef592fe1fd0cafac9683813b3c8f3e8 ]

Smatch complains that the error message isn't set in the caller:

    lib/test_objagg.c:923 test_hints_case2()
    error: uninitialized symbol 'errmsg'.

This static checker warning only showed up after a recent refactoring
but the bug dates back to when the code was originally added.  This
likely doesn't affect anything in real life.

<title>pldmfw: Select CRC32 when PLDMFW is selected</title>

[ Upstream commit 1224b218a4b9203656ecc932152f4c81a97b4fcc ]

pldmfw calls crc32 code and depends on it being enabled, else
there is a link error as follows. So PLDMFW should select CRC32.

  lib/pldmfw/pldmfw.o: In function `pldmfw_flash_image':
  pldmfw.c:(.text+0x70f): undefined reference to `crc32_le_base'

This problem was introduced by commit b8265621f488 ("Add pldmfw library
for PLDM firmware update").

It manifests as of commit d69ea414c9b4 ("ice: implement device flash
update via devlink").

And is more likely to occur as of commit 9ad19171b6d6 ("lib/crc: remove
unnecessary prompt for CONFIG_CRC32 and drop 'default y'").

Found by chance while exercising builds based on tinyconfig.

<title>dql: Fix dql-&gt;limit value when reset.</title>

[ Upstream commit 3a17f23f7c36bac3a3584aaf97d3e3e0b2790396 ]

Executing dql_reset after setting a non-zero value for limit_min can
lead to an unreasonable situation where dql-&gt;limit is less than
dql-&gt;limit_min.

For instance, after setting
/sys/class/net/eth*/queues/tx-0/byte_queue_limits/limit_min,
an ifconfig down/up operation might cause the ethernet driver to call
netdev_tx_reset_queue, which in turn invokes dql_reset.

In this case, dql-&gt;limit is reset to 0 while dql-&gt;limit_min remains
non-zero value, which is unexpected. The limit should always be
greater than or equal to limit_min.

<title>lib: scatterlist: fix sg_split_phys to preserve original scatterlist offsets</title>

<id>492a14eca9d6063c595e4940aea341ec0b187248</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 8b46fdaea819a679da176b879e7b0674a1161a5e upstream.

The split_sg_phys function was incorrectly setting the offsets of all
scatterlist entries (except the first) to 0.  Only the first scatterlist
entry's offset and length needs to be modified to account for the skip.
Setting the rest entries' offsets to 0 could lead to incorrect data
access.

I am using this function in a crypto driver that I'm currently developing
(not yet sent to mailing list).  During testing, it was observed that the
output scatterlists (except the first one) contained incorrect garbage
data.

I narrowed this issue down to the call of sg_split().  Upon debugging
inside this function, I found that this resetting of offset is the cause
of the problem, causing the subsequent scatterlists to point to incorrect
memory locations in a page.  By removing this code, I am obtaining
expected data in all the split output scatterlists.  Thus, this was indeed
causing observable runtime effects!

This patch removes the offending code, ensuring that the page offsets in
the input scatterlist are preserved in the output scatterlist.
