commit d03db2bc26f0e4a6849ad649a09c9c73fccdc656 upstream.

Functions marked extern inline do not emit an externally visible
function when the gnu89 C standard is used. Some KBUILD Makefiles
overwrite KBUILD_CFLAGS. This is an issue for GCC 5.1+ users as without
an explicit C standard specified, the default is gnu11. Since c99, the
semantics of extern inline have changed such that an externally visible
function is always emitted. This can lead to multiple definition errors
of extern inline functions at link time of compilation units whose build
files have removed an explicit C standard compiler flag for users of GCC
5.1+ or Clang.

<title>compiler, clang: always inline when CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING is disabled</title>

commit 9a04dbcfb33b4012d0ce8c0282f1e3ca694675b1 upstream.

The motivation for commit abb2ea7dfd82 ("compiler, clang: suppress
warning for unused static inline functions") was to suppress clang's
warnings about unused static inline functions.

For configs without CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING enabled, such as any non-x86
architecture, `inline' in the kernel implies that
__attribute__((always_inline)) is used.

Some code depends on that behavior, see
  https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/6/13/918:

  net/built-in.o: In function `__xchg_mb':
  arch/arm64/include/asm/cmpxchg.h:99: undefined reference to `__compiletime_assert_99'
  arch/arm64/include/asm/cmpxchg.h:99: undefined reference to `__compiletime_assert_99

The full fix would be to identify these breakages and annotate the
functions with __always_inline instead of `inline'.  But since we are
late in the 4.12-rc cycle, simply carry forward the forced inlining
behavior and work toward moving arm64, and other architectures, toward
CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING behavior.

commit 045d599a286bc01daa3510d59272440a17b23c2e upstream.

kasan_global struct is part of compiler/runtime ABI.  gcc revision
241983 has added a new field to kasan_global struct.  Update kernel
definition of kasan_global struct to include the new field.

Without this patch KASAN is broken with gcc 7.

<title>compiler-gcc: disable -ftracer for __noclone functions</title>

commit 95272c29378ee7dc15f43fa2758cb28a5913a06d upstream.

-ftracer can duplicate asm blocks causing compilation to fail in
noclone functions.  For example, KVM declares a global variable
in an asm like

    asm("2: ... \n
         .pushsection data \n
         .global vmx_return \n
         vmx_return: .long 2b");

and -ftracer causes a double declaration.

<title>include/linux/compiler-gcc.h: hide assume_aligned attribute from sparse</title>

The patch "slab.h: sprinkle __assume_aligned attributes" causes *tons* of
whinges if you do 'make C=2' with sparse 0.5.0:

  CHECK   drivers/media/usb/pwc/pwc-if.c
include/linux/slab.h:307:43: error: attribute '__assume_aligned__': unknown attribute
include/linux/slab.h:308:58: error: attribute '__assume_aligned__': unknown attribute
include/linux/slab.h:337:73: error: attribute '__assume_aligned__': unknown attribute
include/linux/slab.h:375:74: error: attribute '__assume_aligned__': unknown attribute
include/linux/slab.h:378:80: error: attribute '__assume_aligned__': unknown attribute

sparse apparently pretends to be gcc &gt;= 4.9, yet isn't prepared to handle
all the function attributes supported by those gccs and complains loudly.
So hide the definition of __assume_aligned from it (so that the generic
one in compiler.h gets used).

gcc 4.9 added the function attribute assume_aligned, indicating to the
caller that the returned pointer may be assumed to have a certain minimal
alignment.  This is useful if, for example, the return value is passed to
memset().  Add a shorthand macro for that.

Some code may perform racy by design memory reads. This could be
harmless, yet such code may produce KASAN warnings.

To hide such accesses from KASAN this patch introduces
READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() macro. KASAN will not check the memory
accessed by READ_ONCE_NOCHECK(). The KernelThreadSanitizer
(KTSAN) is going to ignore it as well.

This patch creates __read_once_size_nocheck() a clone of
__read_once_size(). The only difference between them is
'no_sanitized_address' attribute appended to '*_nocheck'
function. This attribute tells the compiler that instrumentation
of memory accesses should not be applied to that function. We
declare it as static '__maybe_unsed' because GCC is not capable
to inline such function:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=67368

With KASAN=n READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() is just a clone of READ_ONCE().

As gcc major version numbers are going to advance rather rapidly in the
future, there's no real value in separate files for each compiler
version.

Deduplicate some of the macros #defined in each file too.

Neaten comments using normal kernel commenting style.
