init/Kconfig: lower GCC version check for -Warray-bounds

2024-03-05T00:40:33Z

We continue to see false positives from -Warray-bounds even in GCC 10, which is getting reported in a few places[1] still: security/security.c:811:2: warning: `memcpy' offset 32 is out of the bounds [0, 0] [-Warray-bounds] Lower the GCC version check from 11 to 10.

update workarounds for gcc "asm goto" issue

2024-02-15T19:14:33Z

In commit 4356e9f841f7 ("work around gcc bugs with 'asm goto' with outputs") I did the gcc workaround unconditionally, because the cause of the bad code generation wasn't entirely clear. In the meantime, Jakub Jelinek debugged the issue, and has come up with a fix in gcc [2], which also got backported to the still maintained branches of gcc-11, gcc-12 and gcc-13. Note that while the fix technically wasn't in the original gcc-14 branch, Jakub says: "while it is true that no GCC 14 snapshots until today (or whenever the fix will be committed) have the fix, for GCC trunk it is up to the distros to use the latest snapshot if they use it at all and would allow better testing of the kernel code without the workaround, so that if there are other issues they won't be discovered years later. Most userland code doesn't actually use asm goto with outputs..." so we will consider gcc-14 to be fixed - if somebody is using gcc snapshots of the gcc-14 before the fix, they should upgrade. Note that while the bug goes back to gcc-11, in practice other gcc changes seem to have effectively hidden it since gcc-12.1 as per a bisect by Jakub. So even a gcc-14 snapshot without the fix likely doesn't show actual problems. Also, make the default 'asm_goto_output()' macro mark the asm as volatile by hand, because of an unrelated gcc issue [1] where it doesn't match the documented behavior ("asm goto is always volatile").

Kconfig: Disable -Wstringop-overflow for GCC globally

2024-02-01T22:57:17Z

It turns out it was never just gcc-11 that was broken. Apparently it just happens to work on x86-64 with other gcc versions. On arm64, I see warnings with gcc version 13.2.1, and the kernel test robot reports the same problem on s390 with gcc 13.2.0. Admittedly it seems to be just the new Xe drm driver, but this is keeping me from doing my normal arm64 build testing. So it gets reverted until somebody figures out what causes the problem (and why it doesn't show on x86-64, which is what makes me suspect it was never just about gcc-11, and more about just random happenstance). This also changes the Kconfig naming a bit - just make the "disable this for GCC" conditional be one simple Kconfig entry, and we can put the gcc version dependencies in that entry once we figure out what the correct rules are. The version dependency _may_ still end up being "gcc version larger than 11" if the issue is purely in the Xe driver, but even if that ends up the case, let's make that all part of the "GCC_NO_STRINGOP_OVERFLOW" logic. For now, we just disable it for all gcc versions while the exact cause is unknown. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/202401161031.hjGJHMiJ-lkp@intel.com/T/ Cc: Gustavo A. R.

init: Kconfig: Disable -Wstringop-overflow for GCC-11

2024-01-21T23:45:31Z

-Wstringop-overflow is buggy in GCC-11. Therefore, we should disable this option specifically for that compiler version. To achieve this, we introduce a new configuration option: GCC11_NO_STRINGOP_OVERFLOW. The compiler option related to string operation overflow is now managed under configuration CC_STRINGOP_OVERFLOW. This option is enabled by default for all other versions of GCC that support it.

initramfs: Expose retained initrd as sysfs file

2023-12-15T16:23:00Z

When the kernel command line option "retain_initrd" is set, we do not free the initrd memory. However, we also don't expose it to anyone for consumption. That leaves us in a weird situation where the only user of this feature is ppc64 and arm64 specific kexec tooling. To make it more generally useful, this patch adds a kobject to the firmware object that contains the initrd context when "retain_initrd" is set. That way, we can access the initrd any time after boot from user space and for example hand it into kexec as --initrd parameter if we want to reboot the same initrd. Or inspect it directly locally. With this patch applied, there is a new /sys/firmware/initrd file when the kernel was booted with an initrd and "retain_initrd" command line option is set.
