GPIO software node lookup should rely exclusively on matching the
addresses of the referenced firmware nodes. Commit e5d527be7e69 ("gpio:
swnode: don't use the swnode's name as the key for GPIO lookup") tried to
enforce this but had to be reverted: it broke existing users who abuse the
software node mechanism by creating "dummy" software nodes named after the
device they want to get GPIOs from, without ever attaching them to the
actual GPIO devices. Those users rely on GPIOLIB matching the label of the
GPIO controller against the name of the software node rather than on a real
firmware node link.

Un-reverting e5d527be7e69 therefore requires converting all such users to
real firmware node lookup. The geode board setup is one of them: it
references the cs5535 GPIO controller through a locally-defined dummy node
named "cs5535-gpio".

The cs5535 MFD driver now exports the software node associated with its
GPIO controller cell as cs5535_gpio_swnode. Use it as the target of the
GPIO software node references in geode-common.c instead of the dummy node,
so the lookup resolves by firmware node address. As the referenced node
must exist at lookup time, make the cs5535 driver built-in for all boards
selecting GEODE_COMMON (depend on GPIO_CS5535=y). The node is exported in
the "CS5535" namespace, so import it in this module.

 "Futex updates:

   - Optimize futex hash bucket access patterns (Peter Zijlstra)

   - Large series to address the robust futex unlock race for real, by
     Thomas Gleixner:

      "The robust futex unlock mechanism is racy in respect to the
       clearing of the robust_list_head::list_op_pending pointer because
       unlock and clearing the pointer are not atomic.

       The race window is between the unlock and clearing the pending op
       pointer. If the task is forced to exit in this window, exit will
       access a potentially invalid pending op pointer when cleaning up
       the robust list.

       That happens if another task manages to unmap the object
       containing the lock before the cleanup, which results in an UAF.

       In the worst case this UAF can lead to memory corruption when
       unrelated content has been mapped to the same address by the time
       the access happens.

       User space can't solve this problem without help from the kernel.
       This series provides the kernel side infrastructure to help it
       along:

        1) Combined unlock, pointer clearing, wake-up for the
           contended case

        2) VDSO based unlock and pointer clearing helpers with a
           fix-up function in the kernel when user space was interrupted
           within the critical section.

I.e. from now on it's a boot time requirement for the CPU to support it.

( This was preceded by the removal of all non-CX8 platform build
  options, so it should have no functional effects in theory. )

The CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG option currently depends on
ARCH_SUPPORTS_PROPELLER_CLANG, but this dependency seems unnecessary.

Remove ARCH_SUPPORTS_PROPELLER_CLANG and allow users to control
Propeller builds solely through CONFIG_PROPELLER_CLANG. This simplifies
the kconfig and avoids potential confusion.

Move the .llvm_bb_addr_map sections grouping to
include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h.

The Propeller documentation has been updated to reflect the most
recent tool location and now includes instructions for arm64.

<title>x86/vdso: Implement __vdso_futex_robust_try_unlock()</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=a2274cc0091ed4fdce10fad68d08c529b8d3e7dd'/>
<id>a2274cc0091ed4fdce10fad68d08c529b8d3e7dd</id>
<content type='text'>
When the FUTEX_ROBUST_UNLOCK mechanism is used for unlocking (PI-)futexes,
then the unlock sequence in userspace looks like this:

  1)	robust_list_set_op_pending(mutex);
  2)	robust_list_remove(mutex);

  	lval = gettid();
  3)	if (atomic_try_cmpxchg(&amp;mutex-&gt;lock, lval, 0))
  4)		robust_list_clear_op_pending();
  	else
  5)		sys_futex(OP,...FUTEX_ROBUST_UNLOCK);

That still leaves a minimal race window between #3 and #4 where the mutex
could be acquired by some other task which observes that it is the last
user and:

  1) unmaps the mutex memory
  2) maps a different file, which ends up covering the same address

When then the original task exits before reaching #5 then the kernel robust
list handling observes the pending op entry and tries to fix up user space.

In case that the newly mapped data contains the TID of the exiting thread
at the address of the mutex/futex the kernel will set the owner died bit in
that memory and therefore corrupt unrelated data.

Provide a VDSO function which exposes the critical section window in the
VDSO symbol table. The resulting addresses are updated in the task's mm
when the VDSO is (re)map()'ed.

The core code detects when a task was interrupted within the critical
section and is about to deliver a signal. It then invokes an architecture
specific function which determines whether the pending op pointer has to be
cleared or not. The unlock assembly sequence on 64-bit is:

	mov		%esi,%eax	// Load TID into EAX
       	xor		%ecx,%ecx	// Set ECX to 0
	lock cmpxchg	%ecx,(%rdi)	// Try the TID -&gt; 0 transition
  .Lstart:
	jnz    		.Lend
	movq		%rcx,(%rdx)	// Clear list_op_pending
  .Lend:
	ret

So the decision can be simply based on the ZF state in regs-&gt;flags. The
pending op pointer is always in DX independent of the build mode
(32/64-bit) to make the pending op pointer retrieval uniform. The size of
the pointer is stored in the matching criticial section range struct and
the core code retrieves it from there. So the pointer retrieval function
does not have to care. It is bit-size independent:

     return regs-&gt;flags &amp; X86_EFLAGS_ZF ? regs-&gt;dx : NULL;

There are two entry points to handle the different robust list pending op
pointer size:

	__vdso_futex_robust_list64_try_unlock()
	__vdso_futex_robust_list32_try_unlock()

The 32-bit VDSO provides only __vdso_futex_robust_list32_try_unlock().

The 64-bit VDSO provides always __vdso_futex_robust_list64_try_unlock() and
when COMPAT is enabled also the list32 variant, which is required to
support multi-size robust list pointers used by gaming emulators.

The unlock function is inspired by an idea from Mathieu Desnoyers.
