A patch from 2017 changed some accesses to DMA memory to use
get_unaligned_le32() and similar interfaces, to avoid problems
with doing unaligned accesson uncached memory.
However, the change in the mwifiex_pcie_alloc_sleep_cookie_buf()
function ended up changing the size of the access instead,
as it operates on a pointer to u8.
Change this function back to actually access the entire 32 bits.
Note that the pointer is aligned by definition because it came
from dma_alloc_coherent().

Using get_unaligned() on a u8 pointer is pointless, and will
result in a compiler warning after a planned cleanup:
In file included from arch/x86/include/generated/asm/unaligned.h:1,
from security/apparmor/policy_unpack.c:16:

A simplification of get_unaligned() clashes with callers that pass
in a character pointer, causing a harmless warning like:
block/partitions/msdos.c: In function 'msdos_partition':
include/asm-generic/unaligned.h:13:22: warning: 'packed' attribute ignored for field of type 'u8' {aka 'unsigned char'} [-Wattributes]
Remove the SYS_IND() macro with the get_unaligned() call
and just use the ->ind field directly.

As found by Vineet Gupta and Linus Torvalds, gcc has somewhat unexpected
behavior when faced with overlapping unaligned pointers. The kernel's
unaligned/access-ok.h header technically invokes undefined behavior
that happens to usually work on the architectures using it, but if the
compiler optimizes code based on the assumption that undefined behavior
doesn't happen, it can create output that actually causes data corruption.
A related problem was previously found on 32-bit ARMv7, where most
instructions can be used on unaligned data, but 64-bit ldrd/strd causes
an exception. The workaround was to always use the unaligned/le_struct.h
helper instead of unaligned/access-ok.h, in commit 1cce91dfc8f7 ("ARM:
8715/1: add a private asm/unaligned.h").
The same solution should work on all other architectures as well, so
remove the access-ok.h variant and use the other one unconditionally on
all architectures, picking either the big-endian or little-endian version.
With this, the arm specific header can be removed as well, and the
only file including linux/unaligned/access_ok.h gets moved to including
the normal file.
Fortunately, this made almost no difference to the object code produced
by gcc-11. On x86, s390, powerpc, and arc, the resulting binary appears
to be identical to the previous version, while on arm64 and m68k there
are minimal differences that looks like an optimization pass went into
a different direction, usually using fewer stack spills on the new
version.

In theory, compilers should be able to work this out themselves so we
can use a simpler version based on the swab() helpers.
I have verified that this works on all supported compiler versions
(gcc-4.9 and up, clang-10 and up). Looking at the object code produced by
gcc-11, I found that the impact is mostly a change in inlining decisions
that lead to slightly larger code.
In other cases, this version produces explicit byte swaps in place of
separate byte access, or comparing against pre-swapped constants.
While the source code is clearly simpler, I have not seen an indication
of the new version actually producing better code on Arm, so maybe
we want to skip this after all. From what I can tell, gcc recognizes
the byteswap pattern in the byteshift.h header and can turn it into
explicit instructions, but it does not turn a __builtin_bswap32() back
into individual bytes when that would result in better output, e.g.
when storing a byte-reversed constant.

Little-endian POWER7 kernels disable
CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS because that is not supported on
the hardware, but the kernel still uses direct load/store for explicti
get_unaligned()/put_unaligned().
I assume this is a mistake that leads to power7 having to trap and fix
up all these unaligned accesses at a noticeable performance cost.
The fix is completely trivial, just remove the file and use the
generic version that gets it right.

All supported CPUs other than the old dragonball and in theory other 68000
derivatives use the include/linux/unaligned/access_ok.h implementation
for accessing unaligned variables, so presumably this works everywhere.
However, m68k never selects CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS,
so none of the other conditionals in the kernel get the optimized
implementation.
Select this based on CPU_HAS_NO_UNALIGNED to make the two settings
always match, and then use the generic version of the header.

Unlike every other architecture, sh4a uses an inline asm implementation
for get_unaligned(). I have shown that this produces better object
code than the asm-generic version. However, there are very few users of
arch/sh/ overall, and most of those seem to use sh4 rather than sh4a CPU
cores, so it seems not worth keeping the complexity in the architecture
independent code.
Change over to the generic version to allow simplifying that in a
follow-up patch.
If there are sh4a users that want the best performance, it would probably
be best to add support for the movua instruction in gcc itself, as this
would not just help get_unaligned() callers but any code that accesses
a __packed variable in user space or kernel.

openrisc is the only architecture using the linux/unaligned/*memmove
infrastructure. There is a comment saying that this version is more
efficient, but this was added in 2011 before the openrisc gcc port
was merged upstream.
I checked a couple of files to see what the actual difference is with
the mainline gcc (9.4 and 11.1), and found that the generic header
seems to produce better code now, regardless of the gcc version.
Specifically, the be_memmove leads to allocating a stack slot and
copying the data one byte at a time, then reading the whole word
from the stack:
00000000 <test_get_unaligned_memmove>:
0: 9c 21 ff f4 l.addi r1,r1,-12
4: d4 01 10 04 l.sw 4(r1),r2

3c: 44 00 48 00 l.jr r9
40: 9c 21 00 0c l.addi r1,r1,12
while the be_struct version reads each byte into a register
and does a shift to the right position:
00000000 <test_get_unaligned_struct>:
0: 9c 21 ff f8 l.addi r1,r1,-8

50: 9c 21 00 08 l.addi r1,r1,8
According to Stafford Horne, the new version should in fact perform
better.
In the trivial example, the struct version is a few instructions longer,
but building a whole kernel shows an overall reduction in code size,
presumably because it now has to manage fewer stack slots:
text data bss dec hex filename
4792010 181480 82324 5055814 4d2546 vmlinux-unaligned-memmove
4790642 181480 82324 5054446 4d1fee vmlinux-unaligned-struct
Remove the memmove version completely and let openrisc use the same
code as everyone else, as a simplification.

There are several architectures that just duplicate the contents
of asm-generic/unaligned.h, so change those over to use the
file directly, to make future modifications easier.
The exceptions are:
- arm32 sets HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS, but wants the
unaligned-struct version
- ppc64le disables HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS but includes
the access-ok version
- most m68k also uses the access-ok version without setting
HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS.
- sh4a has a custom inline asm version
- openrisc is the only one using the memmove version that
generally leads to worse code.

intel_dp_check_mst_status() uses a 14-byte array to read the DPRX Event
Status Indicator data, but then passes that buffer at offset 10 off as
an argument to drm_dp_channel_eq_ok().
End result: there are only 4 bytes remaining of the buffer, yet
drm_dp_channel_eq_ok() wants a 6-byte buffer. gcc-11 correctly warns
about this case:

This commit just extends the original array by 2 zero-initialized bytes,
avoiding the warning.
There may be some underlying bug in here that caused this confusion, but
this is at least no worse than the existing situation that could use

Mounting with "multichannel" is obviously implied if user requested
more than one channel on mount (ie mount parm max_channels>1).
Currently both have to be specified. Fix that so that if max_channels
is greater than 1 on mount, enable multichannel rather than silently
falling back to non-multichannel.

<linux/kconfig.h> is included from all the kernel-space source files,
including C, assembly, linker scripts. It is intended to contain a
minimal set of macros to evaluate CONFIG options.
IF_ENABLED() is an intruder here because (x ? y : z) is C code, which
should not be included from assembly files or linker scripts.
Also, <linux/kconfig.h> is no longer self-contained because NULL is
defined in <linux/stddef.h>.
Move IF_ENABLED() out to <linux/kernel.h> as PTR_IF(). PTF_IF()

The RX FIFO overflows when the system is not able to process all received
packets and they start accumulating (first in the DMA queue in memory,
then in the FIFO). An interrupt is then raised for each overflowing packet
and handled in stmmac_interrupt(). This is counter-productive, since it
brings the system (or more likely, one CPU core) to its knees to process
the FIFO overflow interrupts.
stmmac_interrupt() handles overflow interrupts by writing the rx tail ptr
into the corresponding hardware register (according to the MAC spec, this
has the effect of restarting the MAC DMA). However, without freeing any rx
descriptors, the DMA stops right away, and another overflow interrupt is
raised as the FIFO overflows again. Since the DMA is already restarted at
the end of stmmac_rx_refill() after freeing descriptors, disabling FIFO
overflow interrupts and the corresponding handling code has no side effect,
and eliminates the interrupt storm when the RX FIFO overflows.

If userspace exits before calling accept() on a listener that had at least
one new connection ready, we get:
Attempt to release TCP socket in state 8
This happens because the mptcp socket gets cloned when the TCP connection
is ready, but the socket is never exposed to userspace.
The client additionally sends a DATA_FIN, which brings connection into
CLOSE_WAIT state. This in turn prevents the orphan+state reset fixup
in mptcp_sock_destruct() from doing its job.

Commit 12738ac4754e ("i40e: Fix sparse errors in i40e_txrx.c") broke
XDP support in the i40e driver. That commit was fixing a sparse error
in the code by introducing a new variable xdp_res instead of
overloading this into the skb pointer. The problem is that the code
later uses the skb pointer in if statements and these where not
extended to also test for the new xdp_res variable. Fix this by adding
the correct tests for xdp_res in these places.
The skb pointer was used to store the result of the XDP program by
overloading the results in the error pointer
ERR_PTR(-result). Therefore, the allocation failure test that used to
only test for !skb now need to be extended to also consider !xdp_res.
i40e_cleanup_headers() had a check that based on the skb value being
an error pointer, i.e. a result from the XDP program != XDP_PASS, and
if so start to process a new packet immediately, instead of populating
skb fields and sending the skb to the stack. This check is not needed
anymore, since we have added an explicit test for xdp_res being set
and if so just do continue to pick the next packet from the NIC.

The section "19) Editor modelines and other cruft" in
Documentation/process/coding-style.rst clearly says, "Do not include any
of these in source files."
I recently receive a patch to explicitly add a new one.
Let's do treewide cleanups, otherwise some people follow the existing code
and attempt to upstream their favoriate editor setups.
It is even nicer if scripts/checkpatch.pl can check it.
If we like to impose coding style in an editor-independent manner, I think
editorconfig (patch [1]) is a saner solution.

In case of a use after free kernel oops, the freeing path of the object
is required to debug futher. In most of cases the object address is
present in one of the registers.
Thus check the register's address and if it belongs to slab, print its
alloc and free path.
e.g. in the below issue register r6 belongs to slab, and a use after
free issue occurred on one of its dereferenced values:

Patch series "drivers/char: remove /dev/kmem for good".
Exploring /dev/kmem and /dev/mem in the context of memory hot(un)plug and
memory ballooning, I started questioning the existence of /dev/kmem.
Comparing it with the /proc/kcore implementation, it does not seem to be
able to deal with things like
a) Pages unmapped from the direct mapping (e.g., to be used by secretmem)
-> kern_addr_valid(). virt_addr_valid() is not sufficient.
b) Special cases like gart aperture memory that is not to be touched
-> mem_pfn_is_ram()
Unless I am missing something, it's at least broken in some cases and might
fault/crash the machine.
Looks like its existence has been questioned before in 2005 and 2010 [1],
after ~11 additional years, it might make sense to revive the discussion.
CONFIG_DEVKMEM is only enabled in a single defconfig (on purpose or by
mistake?). All distributions disable it: in Ubuntu it has been disabled
for more than 10 years, in Debian since 2.6.31, in Fedora at least
starting with FC3, in RHEL starting with RHEL4, in SUSE starting from
15sp2, and OpenSUSE has it disabled as well.
1) /dev/kmem was popular for rootkits [2] before it got disabled
basically everywhere. Ubuntu documents [3] "There is no modern user of
/dev/kmem any more beyond attackers using it to load kernel rootkits.".
RHEL documents in a BZ [5] "it served no practical purpose other than to
serve as a potential security problem or to enable binary module drivers
to access structures/functions they shouldn't be touching"
2) /proc/kcore is a decent interface to have a controlled way to read
kernel memory for debugging puposes. (will need some extensions to
deal with memory offlining/unplug, memory ballooning, and poisoned
pages, though)
3) It might be useful for corner case debugging [1]. KDB/KGDB might be a
better fit, especially, to write random memory; harder to shoot
yourself into the foot.
4) "Kernel Memory Editor" [4] hasn't seen any updates since 2000 and seems
to be incompatible with 64bit [1]. For educational purposes,
/proc/kcore might be used to monitor value updates -- or older
kernels can be used.
5) It's broken on arm64, and therefore, completely disabled there.
Looks like it's essentially unused and has been replaced by better
suited interfaces for individual tasks (/proc/kcore, KDB/KGDB). Let's
just remove it.

Allow the developer to specifiy the initial value of the modprobe_path[]
string. This can be used to set it to the empty string initially, thus
effectively disabling request_module() during early boot until userspace
writes a new value via the /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe interface. [1]
When building a custom kernel (often for an embedded target), it's normal
to build everything into the kernel that is needed for booting, and indeed
the initramfs often contains no modules at all, so every such
request_module() done before userspace init has mounted the real rootfs is
a waste of time.
This is particularly useful when combined with the previous patch, which
made the initramfs unpacking asynchronous - for that to work, it had to
make any usermodehelper call wait for the unpacking to finish before
attempting to invoke the userspace helper. By eliminating all such
(known-to-be-futile) calls of usermodehelper, the initramfs unpacking and
the {device,late}_initcalls can proceed in parallel for much longer.
For a relatively slow ppc board I'm working on, the two patches combined
lead to 0.2s faster boot - but more importantly, the fact that the
initramfs unpacking proceeds completely in the background while devices
get probed means I get to handle the gpio watchdog in time without getting
reset.
[1] __request_module() already has an early -ENOENT return when
modprobe_path is the empty string.

Patch series "background initramfs unpacking, and CONFIG_MODPROBE_PATH", v3.
These two patches are independent, but better-together.
The second is a rather trivial patch that simply allows the developer to
change "/sbin/modprobe" to something else - e.g. the empty string, so
that all request_module() during early boot return -ENOENT early, without
even spawning a usermode helper, needlessly synchronizing with the
initramfs unpacking.
The first patch delegates decompressing the initramfs to a worker thread,
allowing do_initcalls() in main.c to proceed to the device_ and late_
initcalls without waiting for that decompression (and populating of
rootfs) to finish. Obviously, some of those later calls may rely on the
initramfs being available, so I've added synchronization points in the
firmware loader and usermodehelper paths - there might be other places
that would need this, but so far no one has been able to think of any
places I have missed.
There's not much to win if most of the functionality needed during boot is
only available as modules. But systems with a custom-made .config and
initramfs can boot faster, partly due to utilizing more than one cpu
earlier, partly by avoiding known-futile modprobe calls (which would still
trigger synchronization with the initramfs unpacking, thus eliminating
most of the first benefit).
This patch (of 2):
Most of the boot process doesn't actually need anything from the
initramfs, until of course PID1 is to be executed. So instead of doing
the decompressing and populating of the initramfs synchronously in
populate_rootfs() itself, push that off to a worker thread.
This is primarily motivated by an embedded ppc target, where unpacking
even the rather modest sized initramfs takes 0.6 seconds, which is long
enough that the external watchdog becomes unhappy that it doesn't get
attention soon enough. By doing the initramfs decompression in a worker
thread, we get to do the device_initcalls and hence start petting the
watchdog much sooner.
Normal desktops might benefit as well. On my mostly stock Ubuntu kernel,
my initramfs is a 26M xz-compressed blob, decompressing to around 126M.
That takes almost two seconds:
[ 0.201454] Trying to unpack rootfs image as initramfs...
[ 1.976633] Freeing initrd memory: 29416K
Before this patch, these lines occur consecutively in dmesg. With this
patch, the timestamps on these two lines is roughly the same as above, but
with 172 lines inbetween - so more than one cpu has been kept busy doing
work that would otherwise only happen after the populate_rootfs()
finished.
Should one of the initcalls done after rootfs_initcall time (i.e., device_
and late_ initcalls) need something from the initramfs (say, a kernel
module or a firmware blob), it will simply wait for the initramfs
unpacking to be done before proceeding, which should in theory make this
completely safe.
But if some driver pokes around in the filesystem directly and not via one
of the official kernel interfaces (i.e. request_firmware*(),
call_usermodehelper*) that theory may not hold - also, I certainly might
have missed a spot when sprinkling wait_for_initramfs(). So there is an
escape hatch in the form of an initramfs_async= command line parameter.
