[ Upstream commit ece97f3a5fb50cf5f98886fbc63c9665f2bb199d ]

simpleImage generation was broken for some time. This patch is fixing
steps how simpleImage.*.ub file is generated. Steps are objdump of
vmlinux and create .ub.
Also make sure that there is striped elf version with .strip suffix.

<title>futex: Remove duplicated code and fix undefined behaviour</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 30d6e0a4190d37740e9447e4e4815f06992dd8c3 upstream.

There is code duplicated over all architecture's headers for
futex_atomic_op_inuser. Namely op decoding, access_ok check for uaddr,
and comparison of the result.

Remove this duplication and leave up to the arches only the needed
assembly which is now in arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser.

This effectively distributes the Will Deacon's arm64 fix for undefined
behaviour reported by UBSAN to all architectures. The fix was done in
commit 5f16a046f8e1 (arm64: futex: Fix undefined behaviour with
FUTEX_OP_OPARG_SHIFT usage). Look there for an example dump.

And as suggested by Thomas, check for negative oparg too, because it was
also reported to cause undefined behaviour report.

Note that s390 removed access_ok check in d12a29703 ("s390/uaccess:
remove pointless access_ok() checks") as access_ok there returns true.
We introduce it back to the helper for the sake of simplicity (it gets
optimized away anyway).

commit db0fa0cb0157 "scatterlist: use sg_phys()" did replacements of
the form:

    phys_addr_t phys = page_to_phys(sg_page(s));
    phys_addr_t phys = sg_phys(s) &amp; PAGE_MASK;

However, this breaks platforms where sizeof(phys_addr_t) &gt;
sizeof(unsigned long).  Revert for 4.3 and 4.4 to make room for a
combined helper in 4.5.

Pull strscpy string copy function implementation from Chris Metcalf.

Chris sent this during the merge window, but I waffled back and forth on
the pull request, which is why it's going in only now.

The new "strscpy()" function is definitely easier to use and more secure
than either strncpy() or strlcpy(), both of which are horrible nasty
interfaces that have serious and irredeemable problems.

strncpy() has a useless return value, and doesn't NUL-terminate an
overlong result.  To make matters worse, it pads a short result with
zeroes, which is a performance disaster if you have big buffers.

strlcpy(), by contrast, is a mis-designed "fix" for strlcpy(), lacking
the insane NUL padding, but having a differently broken return value
which returns the original length of the source string.  Which means
that it will read characters past the count from the source buffer, and
you have to trust the source to be properly terminated.  It also makes
error handling fragile, since the test for overflow is unnecessarily
subtle.

strscpy() avoids both these problems, guaranteeing the NUL termination
(but not excessive padding) if the destination size wasn't zero, and
making the overflow condition very obvious by returning -E2BIG.  It also
doesn't read past the size of the source, and can thus be used for
untrusted source data too.

So why did I waffle about this for so long?

Every time we introduce a new-and-improved interface, people start doing
these interminable series of trivial conversion patches.

And every time that happens, somebody does some silly mistake, and the
conversion patch to the improved interface actually makes things worse.
Because the patch is mindnumbing and trivial, nobody has the attention
span to look at it carefully, and it's usually done over large swatches
of source code which means that not every conversion gets tested.

So I'm pulling the strscpy() support because it *is* a better interface.
But I will refuse to pull mindless conversion patches.  Use this in
places where it makes sense, but don't do trivial patches to fix things
that aren't actually known to be broken.

* 'strscpy' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile:
  tile: use global strscpy() rather than private copy
  string: provide strscpy()
  Make asm/word-at-a-time.h available on all architectures

making the overflow condition very obvious by returning -E2BIG.  It also
doesn't read past the size of the source, and can thus be used for
untrusted source data too.

So why did I waffle about this for so long?

Every time we introduce a new-and-improved interface, people start doing
these interminable series of trivial conversion patches.

And every time that happens, somebody does some silly mistake, and the
conversion patch to the improved interface actually makes things worse.
Because the patch is mindnumbing and trivial, nobody has the attention
span to look at it carefully, and it's usually done over large swatches
of source code which means that not every conversion gets tested.

So I'm pulling the strscpy() support because it *is* a better interface.
But I will refuse to pull mindless conversion patches.  Use this in
places where it makes sense, but don't do trivial patches to fix things
that aren't actually known to be broken.

* 'strscpy' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile:
  tile: use global strscpy() rather than private copy
  string: provide strscpy()
  Make asm/word-at-a-time.h available on all architectures

Seeing the 'of' characters in a symbol that is being called from
ACPI seems to freak out people. So let's do a bit of pointless
renaming so that these folks do feel at home.

<title>PCI: Revert "PCI: Call pci_read_bridge_bases() from core instead of arch code"</title>

Revert dff22d2054b5 ("PCI: Call pci_read_bridge_bases() from core instead
of arch code").

Reading PCI bridge windows is not arch-specific in itself, but there is PCI
core code that doesn't work correctly if we read them too early.  For
example, Hannes found this case on an ARM Freescale i.mx6 board:

  pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [mem 0x01000000-0x01efffff]
  pci 0000:00:00.0: PCI bridge to [bus 01-ff]
  pci 0000:00:00.0: BAR 8: no space for [mem size 0x01000000] (mem window)
  pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 2: failed to assign [mem size 0x00200000]
  pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 1: failed to assign [mem size 0x00004000]
  pci 0000:01:00.0: BAR 0: failed to assign [mem size 0x00000100]

The 00:00.0 mem window needs to be at least 3MB: the 01:00.0 device needs
0x204100 of space, and mem windows are megabyte-aligned.

Bus sizing can increase a bridge window size, but never *decrease* it (see
d65245c3297a ("PCI: don't shrink bridge resources")).  Prior to
dff22d2054b5, ARM didn't read bridge windows at all, so the "original size"
was zero, and we assigned a 3MB window.

After dff22d2054b5, we read the bridge windows before sizing the bus.  The
firmware programmed a 16MB window (size 0x01000000) in 00:00.0, and since
we never decrease the size, we kept 16MB even though we only needed 3MB.
But 16MB doesn't fit in the host bridge aperture, so we failed to assign
space for the window and the downstream devices.

I think this is a defect in the PCI core: we shouldn't rely on the firmware
to assign sensible windows.

Ray reported a similar problem, also on ARM, with Broadcom iProc.

Issues like this are too hard to fix right now, so revert dff22d2054b5.
