As of writing, Documentation/Changes states the minimal versions of GNU C
being 8.1, Clang being 15.0.0 and binutils being 2.30. A few Kconfig help
texts are pointing out that specific GCC and Clang versions are needed,
but by now, those pointers to versions, such later than 4.0, later than
4.4, or clang later than 5.0, are obsolete and unlikely to be found by
users configuring their kernel builds anyway.
Drop these outdated remarks in Kconfig help texts referring to older
compiler and binutils versions. No functional change.

__scs_magic() needs a 'void *' variable, but a 'struct task_struct *' is
given. 'task_scs(tsk)' is the starting address of the task's shadow call
stack, and '__scs_magic(task_scs(tsk))' is the end address of the task's
shadow call stack. Here should be '__scs_magic(task_scs(tsk))'.
The user-visible effect of this bug is that when CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE
is enabled, the shadow call stack usage checking function
(scs_check_usage) would scan an incorrect memory range. This could lead
to:
1. **Inaccurate stack usage reporting**: The function would calculate
wrong usage statistics for the shadow call stack, potentially showing
incorrect value in kmsg.
2. **Potential kernel crash**: If the value of __scs_magic(tsk)is
greater than that of __scs_magic(task_scs(tsk)), the for loop may
access unmapped memory, potentially causing a kernel panic. However,
this scenario is unlikely because task_struct is allocated via the slab
allocator (which typically returns lower addresses), while the shadow
call stack returned by task_scs(tsk) is allocated via vmalloc(which
typically returns higher addresses).
However, since this is purely a debugging feature
(CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE), normal production systems should be not
unaffected. The bug only impacts developers and testers who are actively
debugging stack usage with this configuration enabled.

During kexec_segment loading, when copying the content of the segment
(i.e. kexec_segment::kbuf or kexec_segment::buf) to its associated pages,
kimage_load_{cma,normal,crash}_segment handle the case where the physical
address of the segment is not page aligned, e.g. in
kimage_load_normal_segment:
page = kimage_alloc_page(image, GFP_HIGHUSER, maddr);
// ...
ptr = kmap_local_page(page);
// ...
ptr += maddr & ~PAGE_MASK;
mchunk = min_t(size_t, mbytes,
PAGE_SIZE - (maddr & ~PAGE_MASK));
// ^^^^ Non page-aligned segments handled here ^^^
// ...
if (image->file_mode)
memcpy(ptr, kbuf, uchunk);
else
result = copy_from_user(ptr, buf, uchunk);
(similar logic is present in kimage_load_{cma,crash}_segment).
This is actually not needed because, prior to their loading, all
kexec_segments first go through a vetting step in
`sanity_check_segment_list`, which rejects any segment that is not
page-aligned:
for (i = 0; i < nr_segments; i++) {
unsigned long mstart, mend;
mstart = image->segment[i].mem;
mend = mstart + image->segment[i].memsz;
// ...
if ((mstart & ~PAGE_MASK) || (mend & ~PAGE_MASK))
return -EADDRNOTAVAIL;
// ...
}
In case `sanity_check_segment_list` finds a non-page aligned the whole
kexec load is aborted and no segment is loaded.
This means that `kimage_load_{cma,normal,crash}_segment` never actually
have to handle non page-aligned segments and `(maddr & ~PAGE_MASK) == 0`
is always true no matter if the segment is coming from a file (i.e.
`kexec_file_load` syscall), from a user-space buffer (i.e. `kexec_load`
syscall) or created by the kernel through `kexec_add_buffer`. In the
latter case, `kexec_add_buffer` actually enforces the page alignment:
/* Ensure minimum alignment needed for segments. */
kbuf->memsz = ALIGN(kbuf->memsz, PAGE_SIZE);
kbuf->buf_align = max(kbuf->buf_align, PAGE_SIZE);

However kernel-doc.py is currently called with python3 hard-coded and
thus ignores this setting.

The function create_field_var() allocates memory for 'val' through
create_hist_field() inside parse_atom(), and for 'var' through
create_var(), which in turn allocates var->type and var->var.name
internally. Simply calling kfree() to release these structures will
result in memory leaks.
Use destroy_hist_field() to properly free 'val', and explicitly release
the memory of var->type and var->var.name before freeing 'var' itself.
