Pull compiler attribute updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"This is an effort to disentangle the include/linux/compiler*.h headers
and bring them up to date.
The main idea behind the series is to use feature checking macros
(i.e. __has_attribute) instead of compiler version checks (e.g.
GCC_VERSION), which are compiler-agnostic (so they can be shared,
reducing the size of compiler-specific headers) and version-agnostic.
Other related improvements have been performed in the headers as well,
which on top of the use of __has_attribute it has amounted to a
significant simplification of these headers (e.g. GCC_VERSION is now
only guarding a few non-attribute macros).
This series should also help the efforts to support compiling the
kernel with clang and icc. A fair amount of documentation and comments
have also been added, clarified or removed; and the headers are now
more readable, which should help kernel developers in general.
The series was triggered due to the move to gcc >= 4.6. In turn, this
series has also triggered Sparse to gain the ability to recognize
__has_attribute on its own.
Finally, the __nonstring variable attribute series has been also
applied on top; plus two related patches from Nick Desaulniers for
unreachable() that came a bit afterwards"

Pull stackleak gcc plugin from Kees Cook:
"Please pull this new GCC plugin, stackleak, for v4.20-rc1. This plugin
was ported from grsecurity by Alexander Popov. It provides efficient
stack content poisoning at syscall exit. This creates a defense
against at least two classes of flaws:
- Uninitialized stack usage. (We continue to work on improving the
compiler to do this in other ways: e.g. unconditional zero init was
proposed to GCC and Clang, and more plugin work has started too).
- Stack content exposure. By greatly reducing the lifetime of valid
stack contents, exposures via either direct read bugs or unknown
cache side-channels become much more difficult to exploit. This
complements the existing buddy and heap poisoning options, but
provides the coverage for stacks.
The x86 hooks are included in this series (which have been reviewed by
Ingo, Dave Hansen, and Thomas Gleixner). The arm64 hooks have already
been merged through the arm64 tree (written by Laura Abbott and
reviewed by Mark Rutland and Will Deacon).
With VLAs having been removed this release, there is no need for
alloca() protection, so it has been removed from the plugin"

This warning was there to avoid the use of 0bxxx values as they are not
supported by gcc prior to v4.3
Since cafa0010cd51f ("Raise the minimum required gcc version to 4.6"),
it's not an issue anymore and using such values can increase readability
of code.
Joe said:
: Seems sensible as the other compilers also support binary literals from
: relatively old versions.

Create DEF_FIELD_ADDR_VAR as a more generic version of the DEF_FIELD_ADD
macro, allowing usage of a variable name other than the struct element name.
Also, sets DEF_FIELD_ADDR as a specific usage of DEF_FILD_ADDR_VAR in which
the var name is the same as the struct element name.
Then, makes use of DEF_FIELD_ADDR_VAR to create a variable of another name,
in order to avoid variable shadowing.

Pull Devicetree updates from Rob Herring:
"A bit bigger than normal as I've been busy this cycle.
There's a few things with dependencies and a few things subsystem
maintainers didn't pick up, so I'm taking them thru my tree.
The fixes from Johan didn't get into linux-next, but they've been
waiting for some time now and they are what's left of what subsystem
maintainers didn't pick up.
Summary:
- Sync dtc with upstream version v1.4.7-14-gc86da84d30e4
- Work to get rid of direct accesses to struct device_node name and
type pointers in preparation for removing them. New helpers for
parsing DT cpu nodes and conversions to use the helpers. printk
conversions to %pOFn for printing DT node names. Most went thru
subystem trees, so this is the remainder.
- Fixes to DT child node lookups to actually be restricted to child
nodes instead of treewide.
- Refactoring of dtb targets out of arch code. This makes the support
more uniform and enables building all dtbs on c6x, microblaze, and
powerpc.
- Various DT binding updates for Renesas r8a7744 SoC
- Vendor prefixes for Facebook, OLPC

Since commit c8589d1e9e01 ("kbuild: handle multi-objs dependency
appropriately"), $^ really represents all the prerequisite of the
composite object being built.
Hence, $(filter %.o,$^) contains all the objects to link together,
which is much simpler than link_multi_deps calculation.
Please note $(filter-out FORCE,$^) does not work here. When a single
object module is turned into a multi object module, $^ will contain
header files that were previously included for building the single
object, and recorded in the .*.cmd file. To filter out such headers,
$(filter %.o,$^) should be used here.

Make declaration type determination more robust.
When scripts/kernel-doc is deciding if some kernel-doc notation
contains an enum, a struct, a union, a typedef, or a function,
it does a pattern match on the beginning of the string, looking
for a match with one of "struct", "union", "enum", or "typedef",
and otherwise defaults to a function declaration type.
However, if a function or a function-like macro has a name that
begins with "struct" (e.g., struct_size()), then kernel-doc
incorrectly decides that this is a struct declaration.
Fix this by looking for the declaration type keywords having an
ending word boundary (\b), so that "struct_size" will not match
a struct declaration.
I compared lots of html before/after output from core-api, driver-api,
and networking. There were no differences in any of the files that
I checked.

As on x86-64 and other architectures, the boot kernel on parisc (vmlinuz
and bzImage) contains a full compressed copy of the final kernel
executable (vmlinux.bin.gz), which one should be able to extract with
the extract-vmlinux script.
But on parisc extracting the kernel with extract-vmlinux fails.
Currently the script first checks if the given file is an ELF file
(which is true on parisc) and if so returns it. Thus on parisc we
unexpectedly get back the vmlinuz boot file instead of the uncompressed
vmlinux image.
This patch fixes this issue by reverting the logic. It now first tries
to find a compression signature in the given file and if that fails it
checks the file itself as fallback.

This line was added by commit fd5f0cd6b0ce ("kbuild: Do not overwrite
makefile as anohter user"). Its commit description says the intention
was to prevent $(objtree)/Makefile from being owned by root when e.g.
running 'make install'.
However, as commit 19514fc665ff ("arm, kbuild: make "make install" not
depend on vmlinux") stated, installation targets must not modify the
source tree in the first place. If they do, we are already screwed up.
We must fix the root cause.
Installation targets should just copy files verbatim, hence we never
expect $(objtree)/Makefile is touched by root. The user ID check in
scripts/mkmakefile is unneeded.

around asm() related GCC inlining bugs
Using macros in inline assembly allows us to work around bugs
in GCC's inlining decisions.
Compile macros.S and use it to assemble all C files.
Currently only x86 will use it.
Background:
The inlining pass of GCC doesn't include an assembler, so it's not aware
of basic properties of the generated code, such as its size in bytes,
or that there are such things as discontiuous blocks of code and data
due to the newfangled linker feature called 'sections' ...
Instead GCC uses a lazy and fragile heuristic: it does a linear count of
certain syntactic and whitespace elements in inlined assembly block source
code, such as a count of new-lines and semicolons (!), as a poor substitute
for "code size and complexity".
Unsurprisingly this heuristic falls over and breaks its neck whith certain
common types of kernel code that use inline assembly, such as the frequent
practice of putting useful information into alternative sections.
As a result of this fresh, 20+ years old GCC bug, GCC's inlining decisions
are effectively disabled for inlined functions that make use of such asm()
blocks, because GCC thinks those sections of code are "large" - when in
reality they are often result in just a very low number of machine
instructions.
This absolute lack of inlining provess when GCC comes across such asm()
blocks both increases generated kernel code size and causes performance
overhead, which is particularly noticeable on paravirt kernels, which make
frequent use of these inlining facilities in attempt to stay out of the
way when running on baremetal hardware.
Instead of fixing the compiler we use a workaround: we set an assembly macro
and call it from the inlined assembly block. As a result GCC considers the
inline assembly block as a single instruction. (Which it often isn't but I digress.)
This uglifies and bloats the source code - for example just the refcount
related changes have this impact:
Makefile | 9 +++++++--
arch/x86/Makefile | 7 +++++++
arch/x86/kernel/macros.S | 7 +++++++
scripts/Kbuild.include | 4 +++-
scripts/mod/Makefile | 2 ++
5 files changed, 26 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)
Yay readability and maintainability, it's not like assembly code is hard to read
and maintain ...
We also hope that GCC will eventually get fixed, but we are not holding
our breath for that. Yet we are optimistic, it might still happen, any decade now.

There is nothing arch specific about building dtb files other than their
location under /arch/*/boot/dts/. Keeping each arch aligned is a pain.
The dependencies and supported targets are all slightly different.
Also, a cross-compiler for each arch is needed, but really the host
compiler preprocessor is perfectly fine for building dtbs. Move the
build rules to a common location and remove the arch specific ones. This
is done in a single step to avoid warnings about overriding rules.
The build dependencies had been a mixture of 'scripts' and/or 'prepare'.
These pull in several dependencies some of which need a target compiler
(specifically devicetable-offsets.h) and aren't needed to build dtbs.
All that is really needed is dtc, so adjust the dependencies to only be
dtc.
This change enables support 'dtbs_install' on some arches which were
missing the target.

Commit 217c3e019675 ("disable stringop truncation warnings for now")
disabled -Wstringop-truncation since it was too noisy.
Having __nonstring available allows us to let GCC know that a string
is not meant to be NUL-terminated, which helps suppressing some
-Wstringop-truncation warnings.
Note that using __nonstring actually triggers other warnings
(-Wstringop-overflow, which is on by default) which may be real
problems. Therefore, cleaning up -Wstringop-truncation warnings
also buys us the ability to uncover further potential problems.
To encourage the use of __nonstring, we put the warning back at W=1.
In the future, if we end up with a fairly warning-free tree,
we might want to enable it by default.

Major changes are I2C and SPI bus checks, YAML output format (for
future validation), some new libfdt functions, and more libfdt
validation of dtbs.

This is a respin with a wider audience (all that get_maintainer returned)
and I know this spams a *lot* of people. Not sure what would be the correct
way, so my apologies for ruining your inbox.
The 00-INDEX files are supposed to give a summary of all files present
in a directory, but these files are horribly out of date and their
usefulness is brought into question. Often a simple "ls" would reveal
the same information as the filenames are generally quite descriptive as
a short introduction to what the file covers (it should not surprise
anyone what Documentation/sched/sched-design-CFS.txt covers)
A few years back it was mentioned that these files were no longer really
needed, and they have since then grown further out of date, so perhaps
it is time to just throw them out.
A short status yields the following _outdated_ 00-INDEX files, first
counter is files listed in 00-INDEX but missing in the directory, last
is files present but not listed in 00-INDEX.
List of outdated 00-INDEX:
Documentation: (4/10)
Documentation/sysctl: (0/1)
Documentation/timers: (1/0)
Documentation/blockdev: (3/1)
Documentation/w1/slaves: (0/1)
Documentation/locking: (0/1)
Documentation/devicetree: (0/5)
Documentation/power: (1/1)
Documentation/powerpc: (0/5)
Documentation/arm: (1/0)
Documentation/x86: (0/9)
Documentation/x86/x86_64: (1/1)
Documentation/scsi: (4/4)
Documentation/filesystems: (2/9)
Documentation/filesystems/nfs: (0/2)
Documentation/cgroup-v1: (0/2)
Documentation/kbuild: (0/4)
Documentation/spi: (1/0)
Documentation/virtual/kvm: (1/0)
Documentation/scheduler: (0/2)
Documentation/fb: (0/1)
Documentation/block: (0/1)
Documentation/networking: (6/37)
Documentation/vm: (1/3)
Then there are 364 subdirectories in Documentation/ with several files that
are missing 00-INDEX alltogether (and another 120 with a single file and no
00-INDEX).
I don't really have an opinion to whether or not we /should/ have 00-INDEX,
but the above 00-INDEX should either be removed or be kept up to date. If
we should keep the files, I can try to keep them updated, but I rather not
if we just want to delete them anyway.
As a starting point, remove all index-files and references to 00-INDEX and
see where the discussion is going.

If there is no System.map file for "make modules_install",
scripts/depmod.sh will silently exit with success, having done
nothing. Since this is an unexpected situation, change it to
report a Warning for the missing file. The behavior is not
changed except for the Warning message.
The (previous) silent success and new Warning can be reproduced
by:
$ make mrproper; make defconfig
$ make modules; make modules_install
and since System.map is produced by "make vmlinux", the steps
above omit producing the System.map file.

The STACKLEAK feature erases the kernel stack before returning from
syscalls. That reduces the information which kernel stack leak bugs can
reveal and blocks some uninitialized stack variable attacks.
This commit introduces the STACKLEAK gcc plugin. It is needed for
tracking the lowest border of the kernel stack, which is important
for the code erasing the used part of the kernel stack at the end
of syscalls (comes in a separate commit).
The STACKLEAK feature is ported from grsecurity/PaX. More information at:
https://grsecurity.net/
https://pax.grsecurity.net/
This code is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's code in the last
public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on our understanding of the code.

The STACKLEAK feature (initially developed by PaX Team) has the following
benefits:
1. Reduces the information that can be revealed through kernel stack leak
bugs. The idea of erasing the thread stack at the end of syscalls is
similar to CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING and memzero_explicit() in kernel
crypto, which all comply with FDP_RIP.2 (Full Residual Information
Protection) of the Common Criteria standard.
2. Blocks some uninitialized stack variable attacks (e.g. CVE-2017-17712,
CVE-2010-2963). That kind of bugs should be killed by improving C
compilers in future, which might take a long time.
This commit introduces the code filling the used part of the kernel
stack with a poison value before returning to userspace. Full
STACKLEAK feature also contains the gcc plugin which comes in a
separate commit.
The STACKLEAK feature is ported from grsecurity/PaX. More information at:

Performance impact:
Hardware: Intel Core i7-4770, 16 GB RAM
Test #1: building the Linux kernel on a single core
0.91% slowdown
Test #2: hackbench -s 4096 -l 2000 -g 15 -f 25 -P
4.2% slowdown
So the STACKLEAK description in Kconfig includes: "The tradeoff is the
performance impact: on a single CPU system kernel compilation sees a 1%
slowdown, other systems and workloads may vary and you are advised to
test this feature on your expected workload before deploying it".

When $DEPMOD is not found, only print a warning instead of exiting
with an error message and error status:
Warning: 'make modules_install' requires /sbin/depmod. Please install it.
This is probably in the kmod package.
Change the Error to a Warning because "not all build hosts for cross
compiling Linux are Linux systems and are able to provide a working
port of depmod, especially at the file patch /sbin/depmod."
I.e., "make modules_install" may be used to copy/install the
loadable modules files to a target directory on a build system and
then transferred to an embedded device where /sbin/depmod is run
instead of it being run on the build system.

location (as do 99%+ on actual developers probably) and in this
case, pkg-config is useless. pkg-config is needed only when
libraries and headers are installed in non-default locations but
it is bad to require installation of pkg-config on all the machines
where make menuconfig would be possibly run."
For {menu,n}config, do not use pkg-config if it is not installed.
For {g,x}config, keep checking pkg-config since we really rely on it
