Building with UBSAN_DIV_ZERO with clang produces numerous fallthrough
warnings from objtool.

In the case of uncheck division, UBSAN_DIV_ZERO may introduce new
control flow to check for division by zero.

Because the result of the division is undefined, LLVM may optimize the
control flow such that after the call to __ubsan_handle_divrem_overflow
doesn't matter.  If panic_on_warn was set,
__ubsan_handle_divrem_overflow would panic.

The problem is is that panic_on_warn is run time configurable.  If it's
disabled, then we cannot guarantee that we will be able to recover
safely.  Disable this config for clang until we can come up with a
solution in LLVM.

<title>ida: don't use BUG_ON() for debugging</title>

This is another old BUG_ON() that just shouldn't exist (see also commit
a382f8fee42c: "signal handling: don't use BUG_ON() for debugging").

In fact, as Matthew Wilcox points out, this condition shouldn't really
even result in a warning, since a negative id allocation result is just
a normal allocation failure:

  "I wonder if we should even warn here -- sure, the caller is trying to
   free something that wasn't allocated, but we don't warn for
   kfree(NULL)"

and goes on to point out how that current error check is only causing
people to unnecessarily do their own index range checking before freeing
it.

This was noted by Itay Iellin, because the bluetooth HCI socket cookie
code does *not* do that range checking, and ends up just freeing the
error case too, triggering the BUG_ON().

The HCI code requires CAP_NET_RAW, and seems to just result in an ugly
splat, but there really is no reason to BUG_ON() here, and we have
generally striven for allocation models where it's always ok to just do

    free(alloc());

even if the allocation were to fail for some random reason (usually
obviously that "random" reason being some resource limit).

Fixes: 88eca0207cf1 ("ida: simplified functions for id allocation")

<title>lockref: remove unused 'lockref_get_or_lock()' function</title>

<id>b8d5109f50969ead9d49c3e8bd78ec1f82e548e3</id>
<content type='text'>
Looking at the conditional lock acquire functions in the kernel due to
the new sparse support (see commit 4a557a5d1a61 "sparse: introduce
conditional lock acquire function attribute"), it became obvious that
the lockref code has a couple of them, but they don't match the usual
naming convention for the other ones, and their return value logic is
also reversed.

In the other very similar places, the naming pattern is '*_and_lock()'
(eg 'atomic_put_and_lock()' and 'refcount_dec_and_lock()'), and the
function returns true when the lock is taken.

The lockref code is superficially very similar to the refcount code,
only with the special "atomic wrt the embedded lock" semantics.  But
instead of the '*_and_lock()' naming it uses '*_or_lock()'.

And instead of returning true in case it took the lock, it returns true
if it *didn't* take the lock.

Now, arguably the reflock code is quite logical: it really is a "either
decrement _or_ lock" kind of situation - and the return value is about
whether the operation succeeded without any special care needed.

So despite the similarities, the differences do make some sense, and
maybe it's not worth trying to unify the different conditional locking
primitives in this area.

But while looking at this all, it did become obvious that the
'lockref_get_or_lock()' function hasn't actually had any users for
almost a decade.

The only user it ever had was the shortlived 'd_rcu_to_refcount()'
function, and it got removed and replaced with 'lockref_get_not_dead()'
back in 2013 in commits 0d98439ea3c6 ("vfs: use lockred 'dead' flag to
mark unrecoverably dead dentries") and e5c832d55588 ("vfs: fix dentry
RCU to refcounting possibly sleeping dput()")

In fact, that single use was removed less than a week after the whole
function was introduced in commit b3abd80250c1 ("lockref: add
'lockref_get_or_lock() helper") so this function has been around for a
decade, but only had a user for six days.

Let's just put this mis-designed and unused function out of its misery.

We can think about the naming and semantic oddities of the remaining
'lockref_put_or_lock()' later, but at least that function has users.

And while the naming is different and the return value doesn't match,
that function matches the whole '{atomic,refcount}_dec_and_test()'
pattern much better (ie the magic happens when the count goes down to
zero, not when it is incremented from zero).

Pull random number generator fixes from Jason Donenfeld:

 - A fix for a 5.19 regression for a case in which early device tree
   initializes the RNG, which flips a static branch.

   On most plaforms, jump labels aren't initialized until much later, so
   this caused splats. On a few mailing list threads, we cooked up easy
   fixes for arm64, arm32, and risc-v. But then things looked slightly
   more involved for xtensa, powerpc, arc, and mips. And at that point,
   when we're patching 7 architectures in a place before the console is
   even available, it seems like the cost/risk just wasn't worth it.

   So random.c works around it now by checking the already exported
   `static_key_initialized` boolean, as though somebody already ran into
   this issue in the past. I'm not super jazzed about that; it'd be
   prettier to not have to complicate downstream code. But I suppose
   it's practical.

 - A few small code nits and adding a missing __init annotation.

 - A change to the default config values to use the cpu and bootloader's
   seeds for initializing the RNG earlier.

   This brings them into line with what all the distros do (Fedora/RHEL,
   Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Arch, NixOS, Alpine, SUSE, and Void... at
   least), and moreover will now give us test coverage in various test
   beds that might have caught the above device tree bug earlier.

 - A change to WireGuard CI's configuration to increase test coverage
   around the RNG.

 - A documentation comment fix to unrelated maintainerless CRC code that
   I was asked to take, I guess because it has to do with polynomials
   (which the RNG thankfully no longer uses).

   So random.c works around it now by checking the already exported
   `static_key_initialized` boolean, as though somebody already ran into
   this issue in the past. I'm not super jazzed about that; it'd be
   prettier to not have to complicate downstream code. But I suppose
   it's practical.

 - A few small code nits and adding a missing __init annotation.

 - A change to the default config values to use the cpu and bootloader's
   seeds for initializing the RNG earlier.

   This brings them into line with what all the distros do (Fedora/RHEL,
   Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Arch, NixOS, Alpine, SUSE, and Void... at
   least), and moreover will now give us test coverage in various test
   beds that might have caught the above device tree bug earlier.

 - A change to WireGuard CI's configuration to increase test coverage
   around the RNG.

 - A documentation comment fix to unrelated maintainerless CRC code that
   I was asked to take, I guess because it has to do with polynomials
   (which the RNG thankfully no longer uses).

* tag 'random-5.19-rc2-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/crng/random:
  wireguard: selftests: use maximum cpu features and allow rng seeding
  random: remove rng_has_arch_random()
  random: credit cpu and bootloader seeds by default
  random: do not use jump labels before they are initialized
  random: account for arch randomness in bits
  random: mark bootloader randomness code as __init
  random: avoid checking crng_ready() twice in random_init()
  crc-itu-t: fix typo in CRC ITU-T polynomial comment

This is used by code that doesn't need CONFIG_CRYPTO, so move this into
lib/ with a Kconfig option so that it can be selected by whatever needs
it.

This fixes a linker error Zheng pointed out when
CRYPTO_MANAGER_DISABLE_TESTS!=y and CRYPTO=m:

  lib/crypto/curve25519-selftest.o: In function `curve25519_selftest':

<title>iov_iter: fix build issue due to possible type mis-match</title>

Commit 6c77676645ad ("iov_iter: Fix iter_xarray_get_pages{,_alloc}()")
introduced a problem on some 32-bit architectures (at least arm, xtensa,
csky,sparc and mips), that have a 'size_t' that is 'unsigned int'.

The reason is that we now do

    min(nr * PAGE_SIZE - offset, maxsize);

where 'nr' and 'offset' and both 'unsigned int', and PAGE_SIZE is
'unsigned long'.  As a result, the normal C type rules means that the
first argument to 'min()' ends up being 'unsigned long'.

In contrast, 'maxsize' is of type 'size_t'.

Now, 'size_t' and 'unsigned long' are always the same physical type in
the kernel, so you'd think this doesn't matter, and from an actual
arithmetic standpoint it doesn't.

But on 32-bit architectures 'size_t' is commonly 'unsigned int', even if
it could also be 'unsigned long'.  In that situation, both are unsigned
32-bit types, but they are not the *same* type.

And as a result 'min()' will complain about the distinct types (ignore
the "pointer types" part of the error message: that's an artifact of the
way we have made 'min()' check types for being the same):

  lib/iov_iter.c: In function 'iter_xarray_get_pages':
  include/linux/minmax.h:20:35: error: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast [-Werror]
     20 |         (!!(sizeof((typeof(x) *)1 == (typeof(y) *)1)))
        |                                   ^~
  lib/iov_iter.c:1464:16: note: in expansion of macro 'min'
   1464 |         return min(nr * PAGE_SIZE - offset, maxsize);
        |                ^~~

This was not visible on 64-bit architectures (where we always define
'size_t' to be 'unsigned long').

Force these cases to use 'min_t(size_t, x, y)' to make the type explicit
and avoid the issue.

[ Nit-picky note: technically 'size_t' doesn't have to match 'unsigned
  long' arithmetically. We've certainly historically seen environments
  with 16-bit address spaces and 32-bit 'unsigned long'.

  Similarly, even in 64-bit modern environments, 'size_t' could be its
  own type distinct from 'unsigned long', even if it were arithmetically
  identical.

  So the above type commentary is only really descriptive of the kernel
  environment, not some kind of universal truth for the kinds of wild
  and crazy situations that are allowed by the C standard ]
