4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@xxxxxxxxxx> commit d0a8d9378d16eb3c69bd8e6d23779fbdbee3a8c7 upstream. native_save_fl() is marked static inline, but by using it as a function pointer in arch/x86/kernel/paravirt.c, it MUST be outlined. paravirt's use of native_save_fl() also requires that no GPRs other than %rax are clobbered. Compilers have different heuristics which they use to emit stack guard code, the emittance of which can break paravirt's callee saved assumption by clobbering %rcx. Marking a function definition extern inline means that if this version cannot be inlined, then the out-of-line version will be preferred. By having the out-of-line version be implemented in assembly, it cannot be instrumented with a stack protector, which might violate custom calling conventions that code like paravirt rely on. The semantics of extern inline has changed since gnu89. This means that folks using GCC versions >= 5.1 may see symbol redefinition errors at link time for subdirs that override KBUILD_CFLAGS (making the C standard used implicit) regardless of this patch. This has been cleaned up earlier in the patch set, but is left as a note in the commit message for future travelers.

[Backport for 4.4. 4.4 is missing commit 784d5699eddc "x86: move exports to actual definitions" which doesn't apply cleanly, and not really worth backporting IMO. It's simpler to change this patch from upstream: + #include <asm-generic/export.h> rather than + #include <asm/export.h>] Debugged-by: Alistair Strachan <astrachan@xxxxxxxxxx> Debugged-by: Matthias Kaehlcke <mka@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Suggested-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> Suggested-by: H.
