Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar: "This is an extensive rewrite of the objdump tool to track all stack pointer modifications through the machine instructions of disassembled functions found in kernel .o files. This re-design removes the prior dependency on CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS, with the goal to prepare the tool to generate kernel debuginfo data in the future. There's also an increase in checking/tracking robustness as a side effect as well. No (intended) changes to existing functionality" * 'core-objtool-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: objtool: Silence warnings for functions which use IRET objtool: Implement stack validation 2.0 objtool, x86: Add several functions and files to the objtool whitelist objtool: Move checking code to check.c

Pull core block/IO updates from Jens Axboe: "This is the main pull request for the block layer for 4.13. Not a huge round in terms of features, but there's a lot of churn related to some core cleanups. Note this depends on the UUID tree pull request, that Christoph already sent out. This pull request contains: - A series from Christoph, unifying the error/stats codes in the block layer. We now use blk_status_t everywhere, instead of using different schemes for different places. - Also from Christoph, some cleanups around request allocation and IO scheduler interactions in blk-mq. - And yet another series from Christoph, cleaning up how we handle and do bounce buffering in the block layer. - A blk-mq debugfs series from Bart, further improving on the support we have for exporting internal information to aid debugging IO hangs or stalls. - Also from Bart, a series that cleans up the request initialization differences across types of devices. - A series from Goldwyn Rodrigues, allowing the block layer to return failure if we will block and the user asked for non-blocking. - Patch from Hannes for supporting setting loop devices block size to that of the underlying device. - Two series of patches from Javier, fixing various issues with lightnvm, particular around pblk. - A series from me, adding support for write hints. This comes with NVMe support as well, so applications can help guide data placement on flash to improve performance, latencies, and write amplification. - A series from Ming, improving and hardening blk-mq support for stopping/starting and quiescing hardware queues. - Two pull requests for NVMe updates. Nothing major on the feature side, but lots of cleanups and bug fixes. From the usual crew. - A series from Neil Brown, greatly improving the bio rescue set support.

uapi/linux/a.out.h uses a number of predefined macros that are deprecated because they're in the application namespace (e.g. '#ifdef linux' instead of '#ifdef __linux__'). This patch either corrects or just removes them if they are not applicable to Linux. The primary reason this is worth bothering to fix, considering how obsolete a.out binary support is, is that the GCC build process considers this such a severe error that it will copy the header into a private directory and change the macro names, which causes future updates to the header to be masked. This header probably doesn't get updated very often anymore, but it is the _only_ uapi header that gets this treatment, so IMHO it is worth patching just to drive that number all the way to zero.

Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman: "Hopefully the last two powerpc fixes for 4.12. The CXL one is larger than I'd usually send at rc7, but it fixes new code this cycle, so better to have it working for the release. It was actually sent a few weeks back but got blocked in testing behind another fix that was causing issues. We are still tracking one crash in v4.12-rc7, but only one person has reproduced it and the commit identified by bisect doesn't touch any of the relevant code, so I think it's 50/50 whether that commit is actually the problem or it's some code layout / toolchain issue.

Previously, objtool ignored functions which have the IRET instruction in them. That's because it assumed that such functions know what they're doing with respect to frame pointers. With the new "objtool 2.0" changes, it stopped ignoring such functions, and started complaining about them: arch/x86/kernel/alternative.o: warning: objtool: do_sync_core()+0x1b: unsupported instruction in callable function arch/x86/kernel/alternative.o: warning: objtool: text_poke()+0x1a8: unsupported instruction in callable function arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.o: warning: objtool: do_sync_core()+0x16: unsupported instruction in callable function arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.o: warning: objtool: machine_check_poll()+0x166: unsupported instruction in callable function arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.o: warning: objtool: do_machine_check()+0x147: unsupported instruction in callable function Silence those warnings for now.

When a read is directed to the cache, we risk that the lba has been updated during the time we made the L2P table lookup and the time we are actually reading form the cache. We intentionally not hold the L2P lock not to block other threads. While strict ordering is not a guarantee at this level (unless REQ_FLUSH has been previously issued), we have experience that some databases that have recently implemented direct I/O support, issue metadata reads very close to the writes, without issuing a fsync in the middle. An easy way to support them while they is to make an extra effort and check the L2P map right before reading the cache.

Kernel text KASLR is separated into physical address and virtual address randomization. And for virtual address randomization, we only randomiza to get an offset between 16M and KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE. So the initial value of 'virt_addr' should be LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR, but not the original kernel loading address 'output'. The bug will cause kernel boot failure if kernel is loaded at a different position than the address, 16M, which is decided at compiled time. Kexec/kdump is such practical case. To fix it, just assign LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR to virt_addr as initial value.

For kernel text KASLR, the virtual address is confined to area of 1G, [0xffffffff80000000, 0xffffffffc0000000). For the implemenataion of virtual address randomization, we only randomize to get an offset between 16M and 1G, then add this offset to the starting address, 0xffffffff80000000. Here 16M is the offset which is decided at linking stage. So the amount of the local variable 'virt_addr' which respresents the offset plus the kernel output size can not exceed KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE. Add a debug check for the offset. If out of bounds, print error message and hang there.

Since commit 81a76d71 ("MIPS: Avoid using unwind_stack() with usermode") show_backtrace() invokes the raw backtracer when cp0_status & ST0_KSU indicates user mode to fix issues on EVA kernels where user and kernel address spaces overlap. However this is used by show_stack() which creates its own pt_regs on the stack and leaves cp0_status uninitialised in most of the code paths. This results in the non deterministic use of the raw back tracer depending on the previous stack content. show_stack() deals exclusively with kernel mode stacks anyway, so explicitly initialise regs.cp0_status to KSU_KERNEL (i.e. 0) to ensure we get a useful backtrace.

Recent CPUs from Imagination Technologies such as the I6400 or P6600 are able to speculatively fetch data from memory into caches. This means that if used in a system with non-coherent DMA they require that caches be invalidated after a device performs DMA, and before the CPU reads the DMA'd data, in order to ensure that stale values weren't speculatively prefetched. Such CPUs also introduced Memory Accessibility Attribute Registers (MAARs) in order to control the regions in which they are allowed to speculate. Thus we can use the presence of MAARs as a good indication that the CPU requires the above cache maintenance. Use the presence of MAARs to determine the result of cpu_needs_post_dma_flush() in the default case, in order to handle these recent CPUs correctly. Note that the return type of cpu_needs_post_dma_flush() is changed to bool, such that it's clearer what's happening when cpu_has_maar is cast to bool for the return value. If this patch were backported to a pre-v4.7 kernel then MIPS_CPU_MAAR was 1ull<<34, so when cast to an int we would incorrectly return 0. It so happens that MIPS_CPU_MAAR is currently 1ull<<30, so when truncated to an int gives a non-zero value anyway, but even so the implicit conversion from long long int to bool makes it clearer to understand what will happen than the implicit conversion from long long int to int would. The bool return type also fits this usage better semantically, so seems like an all-round win. Thanks to Ed for spotting the issue for pre-v4.7 kernels & suggesting the return type change.

When the scheduler sets TIF_NEED_RESCHED & we call into the scheduler from arch/mips/kernel/entry.S we disable interrupts. This is true regardless of whether we reach work_resched from syscall_exit_work, resume_userspace or by looping after calling schedule(). Although we disable interrupts in these paths we don't call trace_hardirqs_off() before calling into C code which may acquire locks, and we therefore leave lockdep with an inconsistent view of whether interrupts are disabled or not when CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING & CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP are both enabled. Without tracing this interrupt state lockdep will print warnings such as the following once a task returns from a syscall via syscall_exit_partial with TIF_NEED_RESCHED set: [ 49.927678] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 49.934445] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at kernel/locking/lockdep.c:3687 check_flags.part.41+0x1dc/0x1e8 [ 49.946031] DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(current->hardirqs_enabled) [ 49.946355] CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: init Not tainted 4.10.0-00439-gc9fd5d362289-dirty #197 [ 49.963505] Stack : 0000000000000000 ffffffff81bb5d6a 0000000000000006 ffffffff801ce9c4 [ 49.974431] 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 000000000000004a [ 49.985300] ffffffff80b7e487 ffffffff80a24498 a8000000ff160000 ffffffff80ede8b8 [ 49.996194] 0000000000000001 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000077c8030c [ 50.007063] 000000007fd8a510 ffffffff801cd45c 0000000000000000 a8000000ff127c88 [ 50.017945] 0000000000000000 ffffffff801cf928 0000000000000001 ffffffff80a24498 [ 50.028827] 0000000000000000 0000000000000001 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 [ 50.039688] 0000000000000000 a8000000ff127bd0 0000000000000000 ffffffff805509bc [ 50.050575] 00000000140084e0 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000040a00 [ 50.061448] 0000000000000000 ffffffff8010e1b0 0000000000000000 ffffffff805509bc [ 50.072327] ...

This is done before invoking schedule() following the work_resched label because: 1) Interrupts are disabled regardless of the path we take to reach work_resched() & schedule(). 2) Performing the tracing here avoids the need to do it in paths which disable interrupts but don't call out to C code before hitting a path which uses the RESTORE_SOME macro that will call trace_hardirqs_on() or trace_hardirqs_off() as appropriate. We call trace_hardirqs_on() using the TRACE_IRQS_ON macro before calling syscall_trace_leave() for similar reasons, ensuring that lockdep has a consistent view of state after we re-enable interrupts.
