commit 0d362be5b1 upstream.
Users of GNU ld (BFD) from binutils 2.39+ will observe multiple
instances of a new warning when linking kernels in the form:
ld: warning: vmlinux: missing .note.GNU-stack section implies executable stack
ld: NOTE: This behaviour is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of the linker
ld: warning: vmlinux has a LOAD segment with RWX permissions
Generally, we would like to avoid the stack being executable. Because
there could be a need for the stack to be executable, assembler sources
have to opt-in to this security feature via explicit creation of the
.note.GNU-stack feature (which compilers create by default) or command
line flag --noexecstack. Or we can simply tell the linker the
production of such sections is irrelevant and to link the stack as
--noexecstack.
LLVM's LLD linker defaults to -z noexecstack, so this flag isn't
strictly necessary when linking with LLD, only BFD, but it doesn't hurt
to be explicit here for all linkers IMO. --no-warn-rwx-segments is
currently BFD specific and only available in the current latest release,
so it's wrapped in an ld-option check.
While the kernel makes extensive usage of ELF sections, it doesn't use
permissions from ELF segments.

Utilize -mfunction-return=thunk-extern when available to have the
compiler replace RET instructions with direct JMPs to the symbol
__x86_return_thunk. This does not affect assembler (.S) sources, only C

-mfunction-return=thunk-extern has been available since gcc 7.3 and

[ Upstream commit 86cffecdea ]
GCC and Clang can use the "alloc_size" attribute to better inform the
results of __builtin_object_size() (for compile-time constant values).
Clang can additionally use alloc_size to inform the results of
__builtin_dynamic_object_size() (for run-time values).
Because GCC sees the frequent use of struct_size() as an allocator size
argument, and notices it can return SIZE_MAX (the overflow indication),
it complains about these call sites overflowing (since SIZE_MAX is
greater than the default -Walloc-size-larger-than=PTRDIFF_MAX). This
isn't helpful since we already know a SIZE_MAX will be caught at
run-time (this was an intentional design). To deal with this, we must
disable this check as it is both a false positive and redundant. (Clang
does not have this warning option.)
Unfortunately, just checking the -Wno-alloc-size-larger-than is not
sufficient to make the __alloc_size attribute behave correctly under
older GCC versions. The attribute itself must be disabled in those
situations too, as there appears to be no way to reliably silence the
SIZE_MAX constant expression cases for GCC versions less than 9.1:

Specifically:

https://godbolt.org/z/465TPMWKb (only warns when other warnings appear)
'-Walloc-size-larger-than=18446744073709551615' is not handled by GCC < 8.2
https://godbolt.org/z/73hh1EPxz (ignores numeric value)
Since anything marked with __alloc_size would also qualify for marking
with __malloc, just include __malloc along with it to avoid redundant
markings. (Suggested by Linus Torvalds.)
Finally, make sure checkpatch.pl doesn't get confused about finding the
__alloc_size attribute on functions. (Thanks to Joe Perches.)

commit 53632ba87d upstream.
If CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS is enabled and the kernel is built from
a pristine state, the vmlinux is linked twice.
Commit 3fdc7d3fe4 ("kbuild: link vmlinux only once for
CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS") explains why this happens, but it did not fix
the issue at all.
Now I realized I had applied a wrong patch.
In v1 patch [1], the autoksyms_recursive target correctly recurses to
"$(MAKE) -f $(srctree)/Makefile autoksyms_recursive".
In v2 patch [2], I accidentally dropped the diff line, and it recurses to
"$(MAKE) -f $(srctree)/Makefile vmlinux".
Restore the code I intended in v1.

[ Upstream commit 49beadbd47 ]
While the concept of checking for dangling pointers to local variables
at function exit is really interesting, the gcc-12 implementation is not
compatible with reality, and results in false positives.
For example, gcc sees us putting things on a local list head allocated
on the stack, which involves exactly those kinds of pointers to the
local stack entry:
In function ‘__list_add’,
inlined from ‘list_add_tail’ at include/linux/list.h:102:2,
inlined from ‘rebuild_snap_realms’ at fs/ceph/snap.c:434:2:
include/linux/list.h:74:19: warning: storing the address of local variable ‘realm_queue’ in ‘*&realm_27(D)->rebuild_item.prev’ [-Wdangling-pointer=]
74 | new->prev = prev;
| ~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~
But then gcc - understandably - doesn't really understand the big
picture how the doubly linked list works, so doesn't see how we then end
up emptying said list head in a loop and the pointer we added has been
removed.
Gcc also complains about us (intentionally) using this as a way to store
a kind of fake stack trace, eg
drivers/acpi/acpica/utdebug.c:40:38: warning: storing the address of local variable ‘current_sp’ in ‘acpi_gbl_entry_stack_pointer’ [-Wdangling-pointer=]
40 | acpi_gbl_entry_stack_pointer = ¤t_sp;
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~
which is entirely reasonable from a compiler standpoint, and we may want
to change those kinds of patterns, but not not.
So this is one of those "it would be lovely if the compiler were to
complain about us leaving dangling pointers to the stack", but not this
way.
