      m68k: remove broken strcmp implementation · 7c084612
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      The m68 hand-written assembler version of strcmp() has always been
broken: it returns the difference between the first non-matching byte
done as a 8-bit subtraction.

That is _almost_ right, but is broken for the overflow case.  The
strcmp() function should indeed return the sign of the difference
between the first byte that differs, but the subtraction needs to be
done in a wider type than 'char'.  Otherwise the ordering isn't actually
stable.

This went unnoticed for basically forever, because nobody ever cares
about non-US-ASCII orderings in the kernel (in fact, most users only
care about "exact match or not"), so overflows don't really happen in
practice, even if it was very very wrong.

But that mostly unnoticeable bug becomes very noticeable by the recent
change to make 'char' be unsigned in the kernel across all architectures
(commit 3bc753c0: "kbuild: treat char as always unsigned"). Because
the code not only did the subtraction in the wrong type width, it also
used 'char' to then make the compiler expand the result from an 8-bit
difference to the 'int' return value.

So now with an unsigned char that incorrect arithmetic width was then
not even sign-expanded, and always returned just a positive integer.

We could re-instate the old broken code by just turning the 'char' into
'signed char' as has been done elsewhere where people depended on the
signedness of 'char', but since the whole function was broken to begin
with, and we have a non-broken default fallback implementation, let's
just remove this broken function entirely.

 "Two remaining changes that are now possible after you merged a few
  other trees:

   - #include <asm/archrandom.h> can be removed from random.h now,

     implementation detail between the archs and random.c, rather than
     something for general consumers.

   - Two additional uses of prandom_u32_max() snuck in during the
     initial phase of pulls, so these have been converted to
     get_random_u32_below(), and now the deprecated prandom_u32_max()
     alias -- which was just a wrapper around get_random_u32_below() --
     can be removed.

  In addition, there is one fix:

   - Check efi_rt_services_supported() before attempting to use an EFI
     runtime function.

     This affected EFI systems that disable runtime services yet still
     boot via EFI (e.g. the reporter's Lenovo Thinkpad X13s laptop), as
     well systems where EFI runtime services have been forcibly
     disabled, such as on PREEMPT_RT.

     On those machines, a very early and hard to diagnose crash would

      net: fec: check the return value of build_skb() · 19e72b06
      Wei Fang authored 
      The build_skb might return a null pointer but there is no check on the
return value in the fec_enet_rx_queue(). So a null pointer dereference
might occur. To avoid this, we check the return value of build_skb. If
the return value is a null pointer, the driver will recycle the page and
update the statistic of ndev. Then jump to rx_processing_done to clear
the status flags of the BD so that the hardware can recycle the BD.

 "There is one noteable patch, which allows the parisc kernel to use the

  that change only alpha has one entry left (MADV_DONTNEED is 6 vs 4 on
  others) which is different. To prevent an ABI breakage, a wrapper is
  included which translates old MADV values to the new ones, so existing
  userspace isn't affected. Reason for that patch is, that some
  applications wrongly used the standard MADV_xxx values even on some
  non-x86 platforms and as such those programs failed to run correctly
  on parisc (examples are qemu-user, tor browser and boringssl).

  Then the kgdb console and the LED code received some fixes, and some
  0-day warnings are now gone. Finally, the very last compile warning
  which was visible during a kernel build is now fixed too (in the vDSO

      Benjamin Coddington says:

====================
Stop corrupting socket's task_frag

The networking code uses flags in sk_allocation to determine if it can use
current->task_frag, however in-kernel users of sockets may stop setting
sk_allocation when they convert to the preferred memalloc_nofs_save/restore,
as SUNRPC has done in commit a1231fda ("SUNRPC: Set memalloc_nofs_save()
on all rpciod/xprtiod jobs").

This will cause corruption in current->task_frag when recursing into the
network layer for those subsystems during page fault or reclaim.  The
corruption is difficult to diagnose because stack traces may not contain the
offending subsystem at all.  The corruption is unlikely to show up in
testing because it requires memory pressure, and so subsystems that
convert to memalloc_nofs_save/restore are likely to continue to run into
this issue.

Previous reports and proposed fixes:

Guilluame Nault has done all of the hard work tracking this problem down and
finding the best fix for this issue.  I'm just taking a turn posting another
fix.

      Treewide: Stop corrupting socket's task_frag · 98123866
      Benjamin Coddington authored 
      Since moving to memalloc_nofs_save/restore, SUNRPC has stopped setting the
GFP_NOIO flag on sk_allocation which the networking system uses to decide
when it is safe to use current->task_frag.  The results of this are
unexpected corruption in task_frag when SUNRPC is involved in memory
reclaim.

The corruption can be seen in crashes, but the root cause is often
difficult to ascertain as a crashing machine's stack trace will have no
evidence of being near NFS or SUNRPC code.  I believe this problem to
be much more pervasive than reports to the community may indicate.

Fix this by having kernel users of sockets that may corrupt task_frag due
to reclaim set sk_use_task_frag = false.  Preemptively correcting this
situation for users that still set sk_allocation allows them to convert to
memalloc_nofs_save/restore without the same unexpected corruptions that are
sure to follow, unlikely to show up in testing, and difficult to bisect.

      net: Introduce sk_use_task_frag in struct sock. · fb87bd47
      Guillaume Nault authored 
      Sockets that can be used while recursing into memory reclaim, like
those used by network block devices and file systems, mustn't use
current->task_frag: if the current process is already using it, then
the inner memory reclaim call would corrupt the task_frag structure.

To avoid this, sk_page_frag() uses ->sk_allocation to detect sockets
that mustn't use current->task_frag, assuming that those used during
memory reclaim had their allocation constraints reflected in
->sk_allocation.

This unfortunately doesn't cover all cases: in an attempt to remove all
usage of GFP_NOFS and GFP_NOIO, sunrpc stopped setting these flags in
->sk_allocation, and used memalloc_nofs critical sections instead.
This breaks the sk_page_frag() heuristic since the allocation
constraints are now stored in current->flags, which sk_page_frag()
can't read without risking triggering a cache miss and slowing down
TCP's fast path.

This patch creates a new field in struct sock, named sk_use_task_frag,
which sockets with memory reclaim constraints can set to false if they
can't safely use current->task_frag. In such cases, sk_page_frag() now
always returns the socket's page_frag (->sk_frag). The first user is
sunrpc, which needs to avoid using current->task_frag but can keep
->sk_allocation set to GFP_KERNEL otherwise.

Eventually, it might be possible to simplify sk_page_frag() by only
testing ->sk_use_task_frag and avoid relying on the ->sk_allocation
heuristic entirely (assuming other sockets will set ->sk_use_task_frag
according to their constraints in the future).

The new ->sk_use_task_frag field is placed in a hole in struct sock and
belongs to a cache line shared with ->sk_shutdown. Therefore it should
be hot and shouldn't have negative performance impacts on TCP's fast
path (sk_shutdown is tested just before the while() loop in
tcp_sendmsg_locked()).

      mctp: Remove device type check at unregister · b389a902
      Matt Johnston authored 
      The unregister check could be incorrectly triggered if a netdev
changes its type after register. That is possible for a tun device
using TUNSETLINK ioctl, resulting in mctp unregister failing
and the netdev unregister waiting forever.

This was encountered by https://github.com/openthread/openthread/issues/8523

Neither check at register or unregister is required. They were added in
an attempt to track down mctp_ptr being set unexpectedly, which should
not happen in normal operation.

      net: dsa: microchip: remove IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING in request_threaded_irq · 62e027fb
      Arun Ramadoss authored 
      KSZ swithes used interrupts for detecting the phy link up and down.
During registering the interrupt handler, it used IRQF_TRIGGER_FALLING
flag. But this flag has to be retrieved from device tree instead of hard
coding in the driver, so removing the flag.
