After f15afbd34d8f ("fs: fix undefined behavior in bit shift for
SB_NOUSER") the constants were changed from plain integers which
LX_VALUE() can parse to constants using the BIT() macro which causes the
following:

Reading symbols from build/linux-custom/vmlinux...done.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/fainelli/work/buildroot/output/arm64/build/linux-custom/vmlinux-gdb.py", line 25, in &lt;module&gt;
    import linux.constants
  File "/home/fainelli/work/buildroot/output/arm64/build/linux-custom/scripts/gdb/linux/constants.py", line 5
    LX_SB_RDONLY = ((((1UL))) &lt;&lt; (0))

Use LX_GDBPARSED() which does not suffer from that issue.

<id>urn:sha1:b9f174c811e3ae4ae8959dc57e6adb9990e913f4</id>
<content type='text'>
Commits ffb1b4a41016 ("x86/unwind/orc: Add 'signal' field to ORC
metadata") and fb799447ae29 ("x86,objtool: Split UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY in
two") changed the ORC format. Although ORC is internal to the kernel,
it's the only way for external tools to get reliable kernel stack traces
on x86-64. In particular, the drgn debugger [1] uses ORC for stack
unwinding, and these format changes broke it [2]. As the drgn
maintainer, I don't care how often or how much the kernel changes the
ORC format as long as I have a way to detect the change.

It suffices to store a version identifier in the vmlinux and kernel
module ELF files (to use when parsing ORC sections from ELF), and in
kernel memory (to use when parsing ORC from a core dump+symbol table).
Rather than hard-coding a version number that needs to be manually
bumped, Peterz suggested hashing the definitions from orc_types.h. If
there is a format change that isn't caught by this, the hashing script
can be updated.

This patch adds an .orc_header allocated ELF section containing the
20-byte hash to vmlinux and kernel modules, along with the corresponding
__start_orc_header and __stop_orc_header symbols in vmlinux.

<title>sysctl: remove register_sysctl_paths()</title>

<content type='text'>
The deprecation for register_sysctl_paths() is over. We can rejoice as
we nuke register_sysctl_paths(). The routine register_sysctl_table()
was the only user left of register_sysctl_paths(), so we can now just
open code and move the implementation over to what used to be
to __register_sysctl_paths().

The old dynamic struct ctl_table_set *set is now the point to
sysctl_table_root.default_set.

The old dynamic const struct ctl_path *path was being used in the
routine register_sysctl_paths() with a static:

static const struct ctl_path null_path[] = { {} };

Since this is a null path we can now just simplfy the old routine
and remove its use as its always empty.

This saves us a total of 230 bytes.

 "More additions to the Rust core. Importantly, this adds the pin-init
  API, which will be used by other abstractions, such as the
  synchronization ones added here too:

   - pin-init API: a solution for the safe pinned initialization
     problem.

     This allows to reduce the need for 'unsafe' code in the kernel when
     dealing with data structures that require a stable address. Commit
     90e53c5e70a6 ("rust: add pin-init API core") contains a nice
     introduction -- here is an example of how it looks like:

        #[pin_data]
        struct Example {
            #[pin]
            value: Mutex&lt;u32&gt;,

            #[pin]
            value_changed: CondVar,
        }

        impl Example {
            fn new() -&gt; impl PinInit&lt;Self&gt; {
                pin_init!(Self {
                    value &lt;- new_mutex!(0),
                    value_changed &lt;- new_condvar!(),
                })
            }
        }

        // In a `Box`.
        let b = Box::pin_init(Example::new())?;

        // In the stack.
        stack_pin_init!(let s = Example::new());

   - 'sync' module:

     New types 'LockClassKey' ('struct lock_class_key'), 'Lock',
     'Guard', 'Mutex' ('struct mutex'), 'SpinLock' ('spinlock_t'),
     'LockedBy' and 'CondVar' (uses 'wait_queue_head_t'), plus macros
     such as 'static_lock_class!' and 'new_spinlock!'.

     In particular, 'Lock' and 'Guard' are generic implementations that
     contain code that is common to all locks. Then, different backends
     (the new 'Backend' trait) are implemented and used to define types
     like 'Mutex':

        type Mutex&lt;T&gt; = Lock&lt;T, MutexBackend&gt;;

     In addition, new methods 'assume_init()', 'init_with()' and
     'pin_init_with()' for 'UniqueArc&lt;MaybeUninit&lt;T&gt;&gt;' and 'downcast()'
     for 'Arc&lt;dyn Any + Send + Sync&gt;'; as well as 'Debug' and 'Display'
     implementations for 'Arc' and 'UniqueArc'. Reduced stack usage of
     'UniqueArc::try_new_uninit()', too.

   - 'types' module:

     New trait 'AlwaysRefCounted' and new type 'ARef' (an owned
     reference to an always-reference-counted object, meant to be used
     in wrappers for C types that have their own ref counting
     functions).

     Moreover, new associated functions 'raw_get()' and 'ffi_init()' for
     'Opaque'.

   - New 'task' module with a new type 'Task' ('struct task_struct'),
     and a new macro 'current!' to safely get a reference to the current
     one.

   - New 'ioctl' module with new '_IOC*' const functions (equivalent to
     the C macros).

   - New 'uapi' crate, intended to be accessible by drivers directly.

   - 'macros' crate: new 'quote!' macro (similar to the one provided in
     userspace by the 'quote' crate); and the 'module!' macro now allows
     specifying multiple module aliases.

   - 'error' module:

     New associated functions for the 'Error' type, such as
     'from_errno()' and new functions such as 'to_result()'.

   - 'alloc' crate:

     More fallible 'Vec' methods: 'try_resize` and
     'try_extend_from_slice' and the infrastructure (imported from the
     Rust standard library) they need"

All xchg() and cmpxchg() ops are atomic RMWs, but currently we
instrument these with instrument_atomic_write() rather than
instrument_atomic_read_write(), missing the read aspect.

Similarly, all try_cmpxchg() ops are non-atomic RMWs on *oldp, but we
instrument these accesses with instrument_atomic_write() rather than
instrument_read_write(), missing the read aspect and erroneously marking
these as atomic.

Fix the instrumentation for both points.
