When building lz4 under gcc-7 we get the following bogus warning:

  CC [M]  lib/lz4/lz4hc_compress.o
lib/lz4/lz4hc_compress.c: In function ‘lz4hc_compress’:
lib/lz4/lz4hc_compress.c:179:42: warning: ‘delta’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
    chaintable[(size_t)(ptr) &amp; MAXD_MASK] = delta;
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~
lib/lz4/lz4hc_compress.c:134:6: note: ‘delta’ was declared here
  u16 delta;
      ^~~~~

This doesn't show up in the 4.4-stable tree due to us turning off
warnings like this.  It also doesn't show up in newer kernel versions as
this code was totally rewritten.

So for now, to get the 4.9-stable tree to build with 0 warnings on x86
allmodconfig, let's just shut the compiler up by initializing the
variable to 0, despite it not really doing anything.

To be far, this code is crazy complex, so the fact that gcc can't
determine if the variable is really used or not isn't that bad, I'd
blame the code here instead of the compiler.

commit e791ce27c3f6a1d3c746fd6a8f8e36c9540ec6f9 upstream.

Once the reserved page array is unused we can reset the 'res_in_use'
state; here we can do a lazy update without holding the mutex as we only
need to check against concurrent access, not concurrent release.

commit 1bc0eb0446158cc76562176b80623aa119afee5b upstream.

The 'reserved' page array is used as a short-cut for mapping data,
saving us to allocate pages per request. However, the 'reserved' array
is only capable of holding one request, so this patch introduces a mutex
for protect 'sg_fd' against concurrent accesses.

commit bc88c10d7e6900916f5e1ba3829d66a9de92b633 upstream.

The current spinlock lockup detection code can sometimes produce false
positives because of the unfairness of the locking algorithm itself.

So the lockup detection code is now removed. Instead, we are relying
on the NMI watchdog to detect potential lockup. We won't have lockup
detection if the watchdog isn't running.

The commented-out read-write lock lockup detection code are also
removed.

<title>arm64: fpsimd: Prevent registers leaking across exec</title>

commit 096622104e14d8a1db4860bd557717067a0515d2 upstream.

There are some tricky dependencies between the different stages of
flushing the FPSIMD register state during exec, and these can race
with context switch in ways that can cause the old task's regs to
leak across.  In particular, a context switch during the memset() can
cause some of the task's old FPSIMD registers to reappear.

Disabling preemption for this small window would be no big deal for
performance: preemption is already disabled for similar scenarios
like updating the FPSIMD registers in sigreturn.

So, instead of rearranging things in ways that might swap existing
subtle bugs for new ones, this patch just disables preemption
around the FPSIMD state flushing so that races of this type can't
occur here.  This brings fpsimd_flush_thread() into line with other
code paths.

<content type='text'>
commit 7206f9bf108eb9513d170c73f151367a1bdf3dbf upstream.

The x86 version of insb/insw/insl uses an inline assembly that does
not have the target buffer listed as an output. This can confuse
the compiler, leading it to think that a subsequent access of the
buffer is uninitialized:

  drivers/net/wireless/wl3501_cs.c: In function ‘wl3501_mgmt_scan_confirm’:
  drivers/net/wireless/wl3501_cs.c:665:9: error: ‘sig.status’ is used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=uninitialized]
  drivers/net/wireless/wl3501_cs.c:668:12: error: ‘sig.cap_info’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
  drivers/net/sb1000.c: In function 'sb1000_rx':
  drivers/net/sb1000.c:775:9: error: 'st[0]' is used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=uninitialized]
  drivers/net/sb1000.c:776:10: error: 'st[1]' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
  drivers/net/sb1000.c:784:11: error: 'st[1]' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

I tried to mark the exact input buffer as an output here, but couldn't
figure it out. As suggested by Linus, marking all memory as clobbered
however is good enough too. For the outs operations, I also add the
memory clobber, to force the input to be written to local variables.
This is probably already guaranteed by the "asm volatile", but it can't
hurt to do this for symmetry.

commit 289d07a2dc6c6b6f3e4b8a62669320d99dbe6c3d upstream.

When there's a fatal signal pending, arm64's do_page_fault()
implementation returns 0. The intent is that we'll return to the
faulting userspace instruction, delivering the signal on the way.

However, if we take a fatal signal during fixing up a uaccess, this
results in a return to the faulting kernel instruction, which will be
instantly retried, resulting in the same fault being taken forever. As
the task never reaches userspace, the signal is not delivered, and the
task is left unkillable. While the task is stuck in this state, it can
inhibit the forward progress of the system.

To avoid this, we must ensure that when a fatal signal is pending, we
apply any necessary fixup for a faulting kernel instruction. Thus we
will return to an error path, and it is up to that code to make forward
progress towards delivering the fatal signal.

commit 289d07a2dc6c6b6f3e4b8a62669320d99dbe6c3d upstream.

When there's a fatal signal pending, arm64's do_page_fault()
implementation returns 0. The intent is that we'll return to the
faulting userspace instruction, delivering the signal on the way.

However, if we take a fatal signal during fixing up a uaccess, this
results in a return to the faulting kernel instruction, which will be
instantly retried, resulting in the same fault being taken forever. As
the task never reaches userspace, the signal is not delivered, and the
task is left unkillable. While the task is stuck in this state, it can
inhibit the forward progress of the system.

To avoid this, we must ensure that when a fatal signal is pending, we
apply any necessary fixup for a faulting kernel instruction. Thus we
will return to an error path, and it is up to that code to make forward
progress towards delivering the fatal signal.

<title>kvm: arm/arm64: Fix race in resetting stage2 PGD</title>

commit 6c0d706b563af732adb094c5bf807437e8963e84 upstream.

In kvm_free_stage2_pgd() we check the stage2 PGD before holding
the lock and proceed to take the lock if it is valid. And we unmap
the page tables, followed by releasing the lock. We reset the PGD
only after dropping this lock, which could cause a race condition
where another thread waiting on or even holding the lock, could
potentially see that the PGD is still valid and proceed to perform
a stage2 operation and later encounter a NULL PGD.

commit 05384213436ab690c46d9dfec706b80ef8d671ab upstream.

Starting from GCC 7.1, __gcov_exit is a new symbol expected to be
implemented in a profiling runtime.
