d488b40a34 qnx4: work around gcc false positive warning bug
commit d5f6545934c47e97c0b48a645418e877b452a992 upstream.

In commit b7213ffa0e58 ("qnx4: avoid stringop-overread errors") I tried
to teach gcc about how the directory entry structure can be two
different things depending on a status flag.  It made the code clearer,
and it seemed to make gcc happy.

However, Arnd points to a gcc bug, where despite using two different
members of a union, gcc then gets confused, and uses the size of one of
the members to decide if a string overrun happens.  And not necessarily
the rigth one.

End result: with some configurations, gcc-11 will still complain about
the source buffer size being overread:

  fs/qnx4/dir.c: In function 'qnx4_readdir':
  fs/qnx4/dir.c:76:32: error: 'strnlen' specified bound [16, 48] exceeds source size 1 [-Werror=stringop-overread]
     76 |                         size = strnlen(name, size);
        |                                ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  fs/qnx4/dir.c:26:22: note: source object declared here
     26 |                 char de_name;
        |                      ^~~~~~~

because gcc will get confused about which union member entry is actually
getting accessed, even when the source code is very clear about it.  Gcc
internally will have combined two "redundant" pointers (pointing to
different union elements that are at the same offset), and takes the
size checking from one or the other - not necessarily the right one.

This is clearly a gcc bug, but we can work around it fairly easily.  The
biggest thing here is the big honking comment about why we do what we
do.

91c89fe8af qnx4: avoid stringop-overread errors
[ Upstream commit b7213ffa0e585feb1aee3e7173e965e66ee0abaa ]

The qnx4 directory entries are 64-byte blocks that have different
contents depending on the a status byte that is in the last byte of the
block.

In particular, a directory entry can be either a "link info" entry with
a 48-byte name and pointers to the real inode information, or an "inode
entry" with a smaller 16-byte name and the full inode information.

But the code was written to always just treat the directory name as if
it was part of that "inode entry", and just extend the name to the
longer case if the status byte said it was a link entry.

That work just fine and gives the right results, but now that gcc is
tracking data structure accesses much more, the code can trigger a
compiler error about using up to 48 bytes (the long name) in a structure
that only has that shorter name in it:

   fs/qnx4/dir.c: In function ‘qnx4_readdir’:
   fs/qnx4/dir.c:51:32: error: ‘strnlen’ specified bound 48 exceeds source size 16 [-Werror=stringop-overread]
      51 |                         size = strnlen(de->di_fname, size);
         |                                ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   In file included from fs/qnx4/qnx4.h:3,
                    from fs/qnx4/dir.c:16:
   include/uapi/linux/qnx4_fs.h:45:25: note: source object declared here
      45 |         char            di_fname[QNX4_SHORT_NAME_MAX];
         |                         ^~~~~~~~

which is because the source code doesn't really make this whole "one of
two different types" explicit.

Fix this by introducing a very explicit union of the two types, and
basically explaining to the compiler what is really going on.

073c214162 BKL: remove BKL from qnx4
All uses of the BKL in qnx4 were the result of a pushdown into
code that doesn't really need it. As Christoph points out, this
is a read-only file system, which eliminates most of the races in
readdir/lookup.

1b061d9247 rename the generic fsync implementations
We don't name our generic fsync implementations very well currently.
The no-op implementation for in-memory filesystems currently is called
simple_sync_file which doesn't make too much sense to start with,
the the generic one for simple filesystems is called simple_fsync
which can lead to some confusion.

This patch renames the generic file fsync method to generic_file_fsync
to match the other generic_file_* routines it is supposed to be used
with, and the no-op implementation to noop_fsync to make it obvious
what to expect.  In addition add some documentation for both methods.

ca572727db fs/: do not fallback to default_llseek() when readdir() uses BKL
Do not use the fallback default_llseek() if the readdir operation of the
filesystem still uses the big kernel lock.

Since llseek() modifies
file->f_pos of the directory directly it may need locking to not confuse
readdir which usually uses file->f_pos directly as well

Since the special characteristics of the BKL (unlocked on schedule) are
not necessary in this case, the inode mutex can be used for locking as
provided by generic_file_llseek().  This is only possible since all
filesystems, except reiserfs, either use a directory as a flat file or
with disk address offsets.  Reiserfs on the other hand uses a 32bit hash
off the filename as the offset so generic_file_llseek() can get used as
well since the hash is always smaller than sb->s_maxbytes (= (512 << 32) -
blocksize).

945ffe54bb qnx4: remove write support
qnx4 wrte support has never been fully implement, is broken since the dawn
of time and hasn't been actively developed since before git history
started.

Instead of letting it further bitrot and complicate API transition (like
the new truncate code) remove it.

79d2576758 Sanitize qnx4 fsync handling
* have directory operations use mark_buffer_dirty_inode(),
  so that sync_mapping_buffers() would get those.
* make qnx4_write_inode() honour its last argument.
* get rid of insane copies of very ancient "walk the indirect blocks"
  in qnx4/fsync - they never matched the actual fs layout and, fortunately,
  never'd been called.  Again, all this junk is not needed; ->fsync()
  should just do sync_mapping_buffers + sync_inode (and if we implement
  block allocation for qnx4, we'll need to use mark_buffer_dirty_inode()
  for extent blocks)

c5ef1c42c5 [PATCH] mark struct inode_operations const 3
Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

4b6f5d20b0 [PATCH] Make most file operations structs in fs/ const
This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/
const.  Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixups

The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to
shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with
things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus
cache clean)

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
