      tools headers UAPI: Sync linux/fs.h with the kernel sources · 0e093c77
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      To pick the changes from:

  b383a73f ("fs/ext4: Introduce DAX inode flag")

And silence this perf build warning:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/include/uapi/linux/fs.h' differs from latest version at 'include/uapi/linux/fs.h'
  diff -u tools/include/uapi/linux/fs.h include/uapi/linux/fs.h

It causes various beautifiers for things like fspick, fsmount, etc (see
below) to get rebuilt, but this specific change doesn't make 'perf
trace' be capable of decoding anything new, as we still don't decode
what comes from ioctls, just its cmds.

      tools include UAPI: Sync linux/vhost.h with the kernel sources · f64925c1
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      To get the changes in:

  776f3950 ("vhost_vdpa: Support config interrupt in vdpa")

Silencing this perf build warning:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/include/uapi/linux/vhost.h' differs from latest version at 'include/uapi/linux/vhost.h'
  diff -u tools/include/uapi/linux/vhost.h include/uapi/linux/vhost.h

This automatically picks the new ioctl introduced in the above patch,
making tools such as 'perf trace' aware of them and possibly allowing to
use the strings in filters, etc:

      tools arch x86: Sync the msr-index.h copy with the kernel sources · 25ca7e5c
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      To pick up the changes in:

  7e5b3c26 ("x86/speculation: Add Special Register Buffer Data Sampling (SRBDS) mitigation")

Addressing these tools/perf build warnings:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h' differs from latest version at 'arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h'
  diff -u tools/arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h arch/x86/include/asm/msr-index.h
  Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h' differs from latest version at 'arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h'
  diff -u tools/arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h

With this one will be able to use these new AMD MSRs in filters, by
name, e.g.:

  # perf trace -e msr:* --filter "msr==IA32_MCU_OPT_CTRL"
  ^C#

Using -v we can see how it sets up the tracepoint filters, converting
from the string in the filter to the numeric value:

  # perf trace -v -e msr:* --filter "msr==IA32_MCU_OPT_CTRL"
  Using CPUID GenuineIntel-6-8E-A
  0x123
  New filter for msr:read_msr: (msr==0x123) && (common_pid != 335 && common_pid != 30344)
  0x123
  New filter for msr:write_msr: (msr==0x123) && (common_pid != 335 && common_pid != 30344)

  New filter for msr:rdpmc: (msr==0x123) && (common_pid != 335 && common_pid != 30344)

      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Pull AFS fixes from David Howells:
 "I've managed to get xfstests kind of working with afs. Here are a set
  of patches that fix most of the bugs found.

  There are a number of primary issues:

   - Incorrect handling of mtime and non-handling of ctime. It might be
     argued, that the latter isn't a bug since the AFS protocol doesn't
     support ctime, but I should probably still update it locally.

   - Shared-write mmap, truncate and writeback bugs. This includes not
     changing i_size under the callback lock, overwriting local i_size
     with the reply from the server after a partial writeback, not
     limiting the writeback from an mmapped page to EOF.

   - Checks for an abort code indicating that the primary vnode in an
     operation was deleted by a third-party are done in the wrong place.

   - Silly rename bugs. This includes an incomplete conversion to the
     new operation handling, duplicate nlink handling, nlink changing
     not being done inside the callback lock and insufficient handling
     of third-party conflicting directory changes.

  And some secondary ones:

   - The UAEOVERFLOW abort code should map to EOVERFLOW not EREMOTEIO.

   - Remove a couple of unused or incompletely used bits.

   - Remove a couple of redundant success checks.

  These seem to fix all the data-corruption bugs found by

	./check -afs -g quick

  along with the obvious silly rename bugs and time bugs.

  There are still some test failures, but they seem to fall into two
  classes: firstly, the authentication/security model is different to
  the standard UNIX model and permission is arbitrated by the server and
  cached locally; and secondly, there are a number of features that AFS
  does not support (such as mknod). But in these cases, the tests
  themselves need to be adapted or skipped.

  Using the in-kernel afs client with xfstests also found a bug in the
  AuriStor AFS server that has been fixed for a future release"

Pull flexible-array member conversions from Gustavo A. R. Silva:
 "Replace zero-length arrays with flexible-array members.

  Notice that all of these patches have been baking in linux-next for
  two development cycles now.

  There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare
  having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure.
  Kernel code should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these
  cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no
  longer be used[2].

  C99 introduced “flexible array members”, which lacks a numeric size
  for the array declaration entirely:

        struct something {
                size_t count;
                struct foo items[];
        };

  This is the way the kernel expects dynamically sized trailing elements
  to be declared. It allows the compiler to generate errors when the
  flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which helps to
  prevent some kind of undefined behavior[3] bugs from being
  inadvertently introduced to the codebase.

  It also allows the compiler to correctly analyze array sizes (via
  sizeof(), CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE, and CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS). For
  instance, there is no mechanism that warns us that the following
  application of the sizeof() operator to a zero-length array always
  results in zero:

        struct something {
                size_t count;
                struct foo items[0];
        };

        struct something *instance;

        instance = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, items, count), GFP_KERNEL);
        instance->count = count;

        size = sizeof(instance->items) * instance->count;
        memcpy(instance->items, source, size);

  At the last line of code above, size turns out to be zero, when one
  might have thought it represents the total size in bytes of the
  dynamic memory recently allocated for the trailing array items. Here
  are a couple examples of this issue[4][5].

  Instead, flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the
  sizeof() operator may not be applied[6], so any misuse of such
  operators will be immediately noticed at build time.

  The cleanest and least error-prone way to implement this is through
  the use of a flexible array member:

        struct something {
                size_t count;
                struct foo items[];
        };

        struct something *instance;

        instance = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, items, count), GFP_KERNEL);
        instance->count = count;

        size = sizeof(instance->items[0]) * instance->count;
        memcpy(instance->items, source, size);

  instead"

      x86/purgatory: Add -fno-stack-protector · ff58155c
      Arvind Sankar authored 
      The purgatory Makefile removes -fstack-protector options if they were
configured in, but does not currently add -fno-stack-protector.

If gcc was configured with the --enable-default-ssp configure option,
this results in the stack protector still being enabled for the
purgatory (absent distro-specific specs files that might disable it
again for freestanding compilations), if the main kernel is being
compiled with stack protection enabled (if it's disabled for the main
kernel, the top-level Makefile will add -fno-stack-protector).

This will break the build since commit
  e4160b2e ("x86/purgatory: Fail the build if purgatory.ro has missing symbols")
and prior to that would have caused runtime failure when trying to use
kexec.

Explicitly add -fno-stack-protector to avoid this, as done in other
Makefiles that need to disable the stack protector.
