<id>urn:sha1:1bfa8bc86cc788c9c30430f52011c06f11abccd0</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 4356e9f841f7fbb945521cef3577ba394c65f3fc upstream.

We've had issues with gcc and 'asm goto' before, and we created a
'asm_volatile_goto()' macro for that in the past: see commits
3f0116c3238a ("compiler/gcc4: Add quirk for 'asm goto' miscompilation
bug") and a9f180345f53 ("compiler/gcc4: Make quirk for
asm_volatile_goto() unconditional").

Then, much later, we ended up removing the workaround in commit
43c249ea0b1e ("compiler-gcc.h: remove ancient workaround for gcc PR
58670") because we no longer supported building the kernel with the
affected gcc versions, but we left the macro uses around.

Now, Sean Christopherson reports a new version of a very similar
problem, which is fixed by re-applying that ancient workaround.  But the
problem in question is limited to only the 'asm goto with outputs'
cases, so instead of re-introducing the old workaround as-is, let's
rename and limit the workaround to just that much less common case.

It looks like there are at least two separate issues that all hit in
this area:

 (a) some versions of gcc don't mark the asm goto as 'volatile' when it
     has outputs:

        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=98619
        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110420

     which is easy to work around by just adding the 'volatile' by hand.

 (b) Internal compiler errors:

        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110422

     which are worked around by adding the extra empty 'asm' as a
     barrier, as in the original workaround.

but the problem Sean sees may be a third thing since it involves bad
code generation (not an ICE) even with the manually added 'volatile'.

but the same old workaround works for this case, even if this feels a
bit like voodoo programming and may only be hiding the issue.

<title>mm: Introduce flush_cache_vmap_early()</title>

[ Upstream commit 7a92fc8b4d20680e4c20289a670d8fca2d1f2c1b ]

The pcpu setup when using the page allocator sets up a new vmalloc
mapping very early in the boot process, so early that it cannot use the
flush_cache_vmap() function which may depend on structures not yet
initialized (for example in riscv, we currently send an IPI to flush
other cpus TLB).

But on some architectures, we must call flush_cache_vmap(): for example,
in riscv, some uarchs can cache invalid TLB entries so we need to flush
the new established mapping to avoid taking an exception.

So fix this by introducing a new function flush_cache_vmap_early() which
is called right after setting the new page table entry and before
accessing this new mapping. This new function implements a local flush
tlb on riscv and is no-op for other architectures (same as today).

[ Upstream commit 64bac5ea17d527872121adddfee869c7a0618f8f ]

The prototype was hidden in an #ifdef on x86, which causes a warning:

kernel/irq_work.c:72:13: error: no previous prototype for 'arch_irq_work_raise' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]

Some architectures have a working prototype, while others don't.
Fix this by providing it in only one place that is always visible.

[ Upstream commit ca8e45c8048a2c9503c74751d25414601f730580 ]

The arch_jump_label_transform_static() function in csky was originally meant to
override the generic __weak function, but that got changed to an #ifndef check.

This showed up as a missing-prototype warning:
arch/csky/kernel/jump_label.c:43:6: error: no previous prototype for 'arch_jump_label_transform_static' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]

Change the method to use the new method of having a #define and a prototype
for the global function.

Fixes: 7e6b9db27de9 ("jump_label: make initial NOP patching the special case")
Fixes: 4e8bb4ba5a55 ("csky: Add jump-label implementation")

You cannot run this code because arch/csky/Makefile does not define the
vdso_install target.

It appears that this code was blindly copied from another architecture.

<title>vgacon, arch/*: remove unused screen_info definitions</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fd90410e9d74f3ff2361c7bd44c67f712fc5f588</id>
<content type='text'>
A number of architectures either kept the screen_info definition for
historical purposes as it used to be required by the generic VT code, or
they copied it from another architecture in order to build the VGA console
driver in an allmodconfig build. The mips definition is used by some
platforms, but the initialization on jazz is not needed.

Now that vgacon no longer builds on these architectures, remove the
stale definitions and initializations.

<title>c-sky: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_talbe array</title>

<content type='text'>
This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the
empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which
will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link :
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/)

Remove sentinel from alignment_tbl ctl_table array. This removal is safe
because register_sysctl_init implicitly uses ARRAY_SIZE() in addition to
checking for the sentinel.
