Currently the 'stackleak_cleanup' pass deleting a CALL insn is executed
after the 'reload' pass. That allows gcc to do some weird optimization in
function prologues and epilogues, which are generated later [1].

Let's avoid that by registering the 'stackleak_cleanup' pass before
the '*free_cfg' pass. It's the moment when the stack frame size is
already final, function prologues and epilogues are generated, and the
machine-dependent code transformations are not done.

Pull STIBP fallout fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The performance destruction department finally got it's act together
  and came up with a cure for the STIPB regression:

   - Provide a command line option to control the spectre v2 user space
     mitigations. Default is either seccomp or prctl (if seccomp is
     disabled in Kconfig). prctl allows mitigation opt-in, seccomp
     enables the migitation for sandboxed processes.

   - Rework the code to handle the conditional STIBP/IBPB control and
     remove the now unused ptrace_may_access_sched() optimization
     attempt

   - Disable STIBP automatically when SMT is disabled

   - Optimize the switch_to() logic to avoid MSR writes and invocations
     of __switch_to_xtra().

   - Make the asynchronous speculation TIF updates synchronous to
     prevent stale mitigation state.

  As a general cleanup this also makes retpoline directly depend on
  compiler support and removes the 'minimal retpoline' option which just
  pretended to provide some form of security while providing none"

<title>unifdef: use memcpy instead of strncpy</title>

<content type='text'>
New versions of gcc reasonably warn about the odd pattern of

	strncpy(p, q, strlen(q));

which really doesn't make sense: the strncpy() ends up being just a slow
and odd way to write memcpy() in this case.

There was a comment about _why_ the code used strncpy - to avoid the
terminating NUL byte, but memcpy does the same and avoids the warning.

Since retpoline capable compilers are widely available, make
CONFIG_RETPOLINE hard depend on the compiler capability.

Break the build when CONFIG_RETPOLINE is enabled and the compiler does not
support it. Emit an error message in that case:

 "arch/x86/Makefile:226: *** You are building kernel with non-retpoline
  compiler, please update your compiler..  Stop."

<title>scripts/spdxcheck.py: make python3 compliant</title>

<id>6f4d29df66acd49303a99025046b85cabe7aa17a</id>
<content type='text'>
Without this change the following happens when using Python3 (3.6.6):

	$ echo "GPL-2.0" | python3 scripts/spdxcheck.py -
	FAIL: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'
	Traceback (most recent call last):
	  File "scripts/spdxcheck.py", line 253, in &lt;module&gt;
	    parser.parse_lines(sys.stdin, args.maxlines, '-')
	  File "scripts/spdxcheck.py", line 171, in parse_lines
	    line = line.decode(locale.getpreferredencoding(False), errors='ignore')
	AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'

So as the line is already a string, there is no need to decode it and
the line can be dropped.

/usr/bin/python on Arch is Python 3.  So this would indeed be worth
going into 4.19.

Commit 37c8a5fafa3b ("kbuild: consolidate Devicetree dtb build rules")
moved the location of 'dtbs_install' target which caused dtbs to not be
installed when building debian package with 'bindeb-pkg' target. Update
the builddeb script to use the same logic that determines if there's a
'dtbs_install' target which is presence of the arch dts directory. Also,
use CONFIG_OF_EARLY_FLATTREE instead of CONFIG_OF as that's a better
indication of whether we are building dtbs.

This commit will also have the side effect of installing dtbs on any
arch that has dts files. Previously, it was dependent on whether the
arch defined 'dtbs_install'.

	-1 EROFS (Read-only file system)

While git appears to be able to handle this situation, a monitored
build environment (such as the one used for Chrome OS kernel builds)
may detect it and bail out with an access violation error. On top of
that, the attempted write access suggests that git _will_ write to the
file even if a build output directory is specified. Users may have the
reasonable expectation that the source repository remains untouched in
that situation.

This reverts commit 6147b1cf19651c7de297e69108b141fb30aa2349.

The reverted patch results in attempted write access to the source
repository, even if that repository is mounted read-only.

Output from "strace git status -uno --porcelain":

<title>kbuild: deb-pkg: fix too low build version number</title>

Since commit b41d920acff8 ("kbuild: deb-pkg: split generating packaging
and build"), the build version of the kernel contained in a deb package
is too low by 1.

Prior to the bad commit, the kernel was built first, then the number
in .version file was read out, and written into the debian control file.

Now, the debian control file is created before the kernel is actually
compiled, which is causing the version number mismatch.

Let the mkdebian script pass KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION=${revision} to require
the build system to use the specified version number.
