[ Upstream commit a92882a4d270fbcc021ee6848de5e48b7f0d27f3 ]

In the decompressor's head.S we need to start with an instruction that
is some kind of NOP, but also mimics as the PE/COFF header, when the
kernel is linked as an UEFI application. The clever solution here is
"tstne r0, #0x4d000", which in the worst case just clobbers the
condition flags, and bears the magic "MZ" signature in the lowest 16 bits.

However the encoding used (0x13105a4d) is actually not valid, since bits
[15:12] are supposed to be 0 (written as "(0)" in the ARM ARM).
Violating this is UNPREDICTABLE, and *can* trigger an UNDEFINED
exception. Common Cortex cores seem to ignore those bits, but QEMU
chooses to trap, so the code goes fishing because of a missing exception
handler at this point. We are just saved by the fact that commonly (with
-kernel or when running from U-Boot) the "Z" bit is set, so the
instruction is never executed. See [0] for more details.

To make things more robust and avoid UNPREDICTABLE behaviour in the
kernel code, lets replace this with a "two-instruction NOP":
The first instruction is an exclusive OR, the effect of which the second
instruction reverts. This does not leave any trace, neither in a
register nor in the condition flags. Also it's a perfectly valid
encoding. Kudos to Peter Maydell for coming up with this gem.

Pull overflow updates from Kees Cook:
 "The end goal of the current buffer overflow detection work[0] is to
  gain full compile-time and run-time coverage of all detectable buffer
  overflows seen via array indexing or memcpy(), memmove(), and
  memset(). The str*() family of functions already have full coverage.

  While much of the work for these changes have been on-going for many
  releases (i.e. 0-element and 1-element array replacements, as well as
  avoiding false positives and fixing discovered overflows[1]), this
  series contains the foundational elements of several related buffer
  overflow detection improvements by providing new common helpers and
  FORTIFY_SOURCE changes needed to gain the introspection required for
  compiler visibility into array sizes. Also included are a handful of
  already Acked instances using the helpers (or related clean-ups), with
  many more waiting at the ready to be taken via subsystem-specific
  trees[2].

  The new helpers are:

   - struct_group() for gaining struct member range introspection

   - memset_after() and memset_startat() for clearing to the end of
     structures

   - DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() for using flex arrays in unions or alone in
     structs

  Also included is the beginning of the refactoring of FORTIFY_SOURCE to
  support memcpy() introspection, fix missing and regressed coverage
  under GCC, and to prepare to fix the currently broken Clang support.
  Finishing this work is part of the larger series[0], but depends on
  all the false positives and buffer overflow bug fixes to have landed
  already and those that depend on this series to land.

  As part of the FORTIFY_SOURCE refactoring, a set of both a
  compile-time and run-time tests are added for FORTIFY_SOURCE and the
  mem*()-family functions respectively. The compile time tests have
  found a legitimate (though corner-case) bug[6] already.

  Please note that the appearance of "panic" and "BUG" in the
  FORTIFY_SOURCE refactoring are the result of relocating existing code,
  and no new use of those code-paths are expected nor desired.

  Finally, there are two tree-wide conversions for 0-element arrays and
  flexible array unions to gain sane compiler introspection coverage
  that result in no known object code differences.

  After this series (and the changes that have now landed via netdev and
  usb), we are very close to finally being able to build with
  -Warray-bounds and -Wzero-length-bounds.

  However, due corner cases in GCC[3] and Clang[4], I have not included
  the last two patches that turn on these options, as I don't want to
  introduce any known warnings to the build. Hopefully these can be
  solved soon"

<content type='text'>
Both the decompressor code and the kasan logic try to override
the memcpy() and memmove()  definitions, which leading to a clash
in a KASAN-enabled kernel with XZ decompression:

arch/arm/boot/compressed/decompress.c:50:9: error: 'memmove' macro redefined [-Werror,-Wmacro-redefined]
 #define memmove memmove
        ^
arch/arm/include/asm/string.h:59:9: note: previous definition is here
 #define memmove(dst, src, len) __memmove(dst, src, len)
        ^
arch/arm/boot/compressed/decompress.c:51:9: error: 'memcpy' macro redefined [-Werror,-Wmacro-redefined]

arch/arm/include/asm/string.h:58:9: note: previous definition is here
 #define memcpy(dst, src, len) __memcpy(dst, src, len)
        ^

Here we want the set of functions from the decompressor, so undefine
the other macros before the override.

<title>ARM: 9124/1: uncompress: Parse "linux,usable-memory-range" DT property</title>

<content type='text'>
Add support for parsing the "linux,usable-memory-range" DT property.
This property is used to describe the usable memory reserved for the
crash dump kernel, and thus makes the memory reservation explicit.
If present, Linux no longer needs to mask the program counter, and rely
on the "mem=" kernel parameter to obtain the start and size of usable
memory.

For backwards compatibility, the traditional method to derive the start
of memory is still used if "linux,usable-memory-range" is absent.

<content type='text'>
The core functions of string.c are those that may be implemented by
per-architecture functions, or overloaded by FORTIFY_SOURCE. As a
result, it needs to be built with __NO_FORTIFY. Without this, macros
will collide with function declarations. This was accidentally working
due to -ffreestanding (on some architectures). Make this deterministic
by explicitly setting __NO_FORTIFY and move all the helper functions
into string_helpers.c so that they gain the fortification coverage they
had been missing.

<content type='text'>
The merge_fdt_bootargs() function by definition consumes more than 1024
bytes of stack because it has a 1024 byte command line on the stack,
meaning that we always get a warning when building this file:

arch/arm/boot/compressed/atags_to_fdt.c: In function 'merge_fdt_bootargs':
arch/arm/boot/compressed/atags_to_fdt.c:98:1: warning: the frame size of 1032 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

However, as this is the decompressor and we know that it has a very shallow
call chain, and we do not actually risk overflowing the kernel stack
at runtime here.

This just shuts up the warning by disabling the warning flag for this
file.

Tested on Nexus 7 2012 builds.

Kbuild cleans up files listed in 'targets'.

'piggy_data' is already added to 'targets' a few lines above.

Adding it to 'clean-files' is redundant.
