<id>urn:sha1:0638dcc7e75fbb766761e7b4694d0f0f141bbbd1</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 3f649ab728cda8038259d8f14492fe400fbab911 upstream.

Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.

In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining
needless uses with the following script:

git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \
	xargs perl -pi -e \
		's/\buninitialized_var\(([^\)]+)\)/\1/g;
		 s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;'

drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid
pathological white-space.

No outstanding warnings were found building allmodconfig with GCC 9.3.0
for x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, powerpc64le, s390x, mips, sparc64,
alpha, and m68k.

<title>ARM: 9214/1: alignment: advance IT state after emulating Thumb instruction</title>

<id>urn:sha1:dba5484769096e5f7c0aef36414352dff11d2fd8</id>
<content type='text'>
commit e5c46fde75e43c15a29b40e5fc5641727f97ae47 upstream.

After emulating a misaligned load or store issued in Thumb mode, we have
to advance the IT state by hand, or it will get out of sync with the
actual instruction stream, which means we'll end up applying the wrong
condition code to subsequent instructions. This might corrupt the
program state rather catastrophically.

So borrow the it_advance() helper from the probing code, and use it on
CPSR if the emulated instruction is Thumb.

Rather than using "unsigned long", use "u32" for 32-bit instructions in
the alignment fault handler.

<id>urn:sha1:67e15fa5b487adb9b78a92789eeff2d6ec8f5cee</id>
<content type='text'>
When the system has high memory pressure, the page containing the
instruction may be paged out.  Using probe_kernel_address() means that
if the page is swapped out, the resulting page fault will not be
handled because page faults are disabled by this function.

Use get_user() to read the instruction instead.

Pull force_sig() argument change from Eric Biederman:
 "A source of error over the years has been that force_sig has taken a
  task parameter when it is only safe to use force_sig with the current
  task.

  The force_sig function is built for delivering synchronous signals
  such as SIGSEGV where the userspace application caused a synchronous
  fault (such as a page fault) and the kernel responded with a signal.

  Because the name force_sig does not make this clear, and because the
  force_sig takes a task parameter the function force_sig has been
  abused for sending other kinds of signals over the years. Slowly those
  have been fixed when the oopses have been tracked down.

  This set of changes fixes the remaining abusers of force_sig and
  carefully rips out the task parameter from force_sig and friends
  making this kind of error almost impossible in the future"

<content type='text'>
As synchronous exceptions really only make sense against the current
task (otherwise how are you synchronous) remove the task parameter
from from force_sig_fault to make it explicit that is what is going
on.

The two known exceptions that deliver a synchronous exception to a
stopped ptraced task have already been changed to
force_sig_fault_to_task.

The callers have been changed with the following emacs regular expression
(with obvious variations on the architectures that take more arguments)
to avoid typos:

force_sig_fault[(]\([^,]+\)[,]\([^,]+\)[,]\([^,]+\)[,]\W+current[)]
-&gt;
force_sig_fault(\1,\2,\3)

<title>treewide: Switch printk users from %pf and %pF to %ps and %pS, respectively</title>

%pF and %pf are functionally equivalent to %pS and %ps conversion
specifiers. The former are deprecated, therefore switch the current users
to use the preferred variant.

The changes have been produced by the following command:

	git grep -l '%p[fF]' | grep -v '^\(tools\|Documentation\)/' | \
	while read i; do perl -i -pe 's/%pf/%ps/g; s/%pF/%pS/g;' $i; done

And verifying the result.
