With CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y enabled, 'uname' provides
much more useful output on debug kernels:
Before:
# CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is not set
$ uname -a
Linux localhost 5.16.0-rc7+ #4563 SMP PREEMPT Thu Dec 30 08:28:38 CET 2021 x86_64 GNU/Linux
After:
# CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y
$ uname -a
Linux localhost 5.16.0-rc7-02294-g5537f9709b16 #4562 SMP PREEMPT Thu Dec 30 08:27:17 CET 2021 x86_64 GNU/Linux
This is particularly valuable during bisection, if we want to double check
the exact kernel version we are testing.
(Just remove the config line, the global Kconfig default for this is default-y.)

Commit in Fixes intends to add the expression regex only when FW_LOADER
is enabled - not FW_LOADER_BUILTIN. Latter is a leftover from a previous
patchset and not a valid config item.
So, adjust the condition to the actual name of the config.

Commit
f444a5ff95dc ("x86/cpufeatures: Add support for fast short REP; MOVSB")
fixed memmove() with an ALTERNATIVE that will use REP MOVSB for all
string lengths.
copy_user_enhanced_fast_string() has a similar run time check to avoid
using REP MOVSB for copies less that 64 bytes.
Add an ALTERNATIVE to patch out the short length check and always use
REP MOVSB on X86_FEATURE_FSRM CPUs.

It is all well described by Stephen Rothwell who initially spotted that:
----------------------------->8----------------------------
After merging the origin tree, today's linux-next build (arc
haps_hs_smp_defconfig+kselftest) produced these warnings:
arch/arc/include/asm/perf_event.h:126:27: warning: 'arc_pmu_cache_map' defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=]
arch/arc/include/asm/perf_event.h:91:27: warning: 'arc_pmu_ev_hw_map' defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=]
Introduced by commit 0dd450fe13da ("ARC: Add perf support for ARC700 cores")
The 2 static arrays should be moved into arch/arc/kernel/perf_event.c
(the only place that uses them). We get the warning because perf_event.h
is also included by arch/arc/kernel/unaligned.c.
----------------------------->8----------------------------
Could be easily reproduced by running make with "W=1" on any up-to-date
sources, when extra warnings get enabled (in particular
"-Wunused-const-variable"), otherwise disabled by default in the top-level
Makefile as "These warnings generated too much noise in a regular build".

Because of commit 9cb2ff111712 ("spi: cadence-quadspi: Disable Auto-HW polling"),
which does a write to the CQSPI_REG_WR_COMPLETION_CTRL register
regardless of any condition. Well, the Cadence QuadSPI controller on
Intel's SoCFPGA platforms does not implement the
CQSPI_REG_WR_COMPLETION_CTRL register, thus a write to this register
results in a crash!
So starting with v5.16, I introduced the patch
98d948eb833 ("spi: cadence-quadspi: fix write completion support"),
which adds the dts compatible "intel,socfpga-qspi" that is specific for

When CONFIG_PPC_RFI_SRR_DEBUG=y we check the SRR values before returning
from interrupts. This is done in asm using EMIT_BUG_ENTRY, and passing
BUGFLAG_WARNING.
However that fails to create an exception table entry for the warning,
and so do_program_check() fails the exception table search and proceeds
to call _exception(), resulting in an oops like:
Oops: Exception in kernel mode, sig: 5 [#1]

We should instead use EMIT_WARN_ENTRY, which creates an exception table
entry for the warning, allowing the warning to be correctly recognised,
and the code to resume after printing the warning.
Note however that because this warning is buried deep in the interrupt
return path, we are not able to recover from it (due to MSR_RI being
clear), so we still end up in die() with an unrecoverable exception.

When CONFIG_PPC_RFI_SRR_DEBUG=y we check that NIP and SRR0 match when
returning from interrupts. This can trigger falsely if NIP has either of
its two low bits set via sigreturn or ptrace, while SRR0 has its low two
bits masked in hardware.
As a quick fix make sure to mask the low bits before doing the check.

pXd_offset() doesn't return NULL. When the base is NULL, it
still adds the offset.
Use pXd_none() to check validity instead. It also improves
performance by folding out none existing levels as pXd_none()
always returns 0 in that case.
Such an error is unexpected, use WARN_ON() so that the caller
doesn't have to worry about it, and drop the returned value.
And now that unmap_patch_area() doesn't return error, we can
take into account the error returned by __patch_instruction().
While at it, remove the 'inline' property which is useless.

The LLVM integrated assembler really does not like us reassigning things
to the same label:
<instantiation>:7:9: error: invalid reassignment of non-absolute variable 'fs_label'
This happens across a bunch of platforms:
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1043
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1008
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/920
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1050
There is no hope of getting this fixed in LLVM (see
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1043#issuecomment-641571200
and https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47798#c1 )
so if we want to build with LLVM_IAS, we need to hack
around it ourselves.
For us the big problem comes from this:
\#define USE_FIXED_SECTION(sname) \
fs_label = start_##sname; \
fs_start = sname##_start; \
use_ftsec sname;
\#define USE_TEXT_SECTION()
fs_label = start_text; \
fs_start = text_start; \
.text
and in particular fs_label.
This works around it by not setting those 'variables' and requiring
that users of the variables instead track for themselves what section
they are in. This isn't amazing, by any stretch, but it gets us further
in the compilation.
Note that even though users have to keep track of the section, using
a wrong one produces an error with both binutils and llvm which prevents
from using wrong section at the compile time:
llvm error example:
AS arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.o
<unknown>:0: error: Cannot represent a difference across sections
make[3]: *** [/home/aik/p/kernels-llvm/llvm/scripts/Makefile.build:388: arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.o] Error 1

This patch future-proofs the kernel against linker changes that might
put the toc pointer at some location other than .got+0x8000, by
replacing __toc_start+0x8000 with .TOC. throughout. If the kernel's
idea of the toc pointer doesn't agree with the linker, bad things
happen.
prom_init.c code relocating its toc is also changed so that a symbolic
__prom_init_toc_start toc-pointer relative address is calculated
rather than assuming that it is always at toc-pointer - 0x8000. The
length calculations loading values from the toc are also avoided.
It's a little incestuous to do that with unreloc_toc picking up
adjusted values (which is fine in practice, they both adjust by the
same amount if all goes well).
I've also changed the way .got is aligned in vmlinux.lds and
zImage.lds, mostly so that dumping out section info by objdump or
readelf plainly shows the alignment is 256. This linker script
feature was added 2005-09-27, available in FSF binutils releases from
2.17 onwards. Should be safe to use in the kernel, I think.
Finally, put *(.got) before the prom_init.o entry which only needs
*(.toc), so that the GOT header goes in the correct place. I don't
believe this makes any difference for the kernel as it would for
dynamic objects being loaded by ld.so. That change is just to stop
lusers who blindly copy kernel scripts being led astray. Of course,
this change needs the prom_init.c changes.
Some notes on .toc and .got.
.toc is a compiler generated section of addresses. .got is a linker
generated section of addresses, generally built when the linker sees
R_*_*GOT* relocations. In the case of powerpc64 ld.bfd, there are
multiple generated .got sections, one per input object file. So you
can somewhat reasonably write in a linker script an input section
statement like *prom_init.o(.got .toc) to mean "the .got and .toc
section for files matching *prom_init.o". On other architectures that
doesn't make sense, because the linker generally has just one .got
section. Even on powerpc64, note well that the GOT entries for
prom_init.o may be merged with GOT entries from other objects. That
means that if prom_init.o references, say, _end via some GOT
relocation, and some other object also references _end via a GOT
relocation, the GOT entry for _end may be in the range
__prom_init_toc_start to __prom_init_toc_end and if the kernel does
something special to GOT/TOC entries in that range then the value of
_end as seen by objects other than prom_init.o will be affected. On
the other hand the GOT entry for _end may not be in the range
__prom_init_toc_start to __prom_init_toc_end. Which way it turns out
is deterministic but a detail of linker operation that should not be
relied on.
A feature of ld.bfd is that input .toc (and .got) sections matching
one linker input section statement may be sorted, to put entries used
by small-model code first, near the toc base. This is why scripts for
powerpc64 normally use *(.got .toc) rather than *(.got) *(.toc), since
the first form allows more freedom to sort.
Another feature of ld.bfd is that indirect addressing sequences using
the GOT/TOC may be edited by the linker to relative addressing. In
many cases relative addressing would be emitted by gcc for
-mcmodel=medium if you appropriately decorate variable declarations
with non-default visibility.

Make `find_via_cuda` and `find_via_pmu` initialization functions.
Previously, their definitions in `drivers/macintosh/via-cuda.h` include
the `__init` attribute but their alternative definitions in
`arch/powerpc/powermac/sectup./c` and prototypes in `include/linux/
cuda.h` and `include/linux/pmu.h` do not use the `__init` macro. Since,
only initialization functions call `find_via_cuda` and `find_via_pmu`
it is safe to label these functions with `__init`.

Some functions defined in 'arch/powerpc/platforms/512x' are deserving of an
`__init` macro attribute. These functions are only called by other
initialization functions and therefore should inherit the attribute.
Also, change function declarations in header files to include `__init`.
