If one enables ION_DUMMY_UNMAPPED_HEAP without providing the target
unmapped heap configuration settings (physical base address and size),
the kernel cannot build. This situation occurs in linux test build
cases, i.e running the allmodconfig configuration.

This change overcomes the issue by providing default null settings both
ION_DUMMY_UNMAPPED_BASE and ION_DUMMY_UNMAPPED_SIZE.

This change aims at fixing https://projects.linaro.org/browse/SWG-244 (edited ref).

Dirk Gouders reported that two consecutive "make" invocations on an
already compiled tree will show alternating behaviors:

$ make

  AS      arch/x86/boot/header.o
  LD      arch/x86/boot/setup.elf
  OBJCOPY arch/x86/boot/setup.bin
  OBJCOPY arch/x86/boot/vmlinux.bin
  BUILD   arch/x86/boot/bzImage
Setup is 15644 bytes (padded to 15872 bytes).
System is 6663 kB
CRC 3eb90f40
Kernel: arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready  (#48)
  Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST 165 modules

He bisected it back to:

    commit 98f7852 ("x86/boot: Refuse to build with data relocations")

The root cause was the use of the "if_changed" kbuild function multiple
times for the same target. It was designed to only be used once per
target, otherwise it will effectively always trigger, flipping back and
forth between the two commands getting recorded by "if_changed". Instead,
this patch merges the two commands into a single function to get stable
build artifacts (i.e. .vmlinux.cmd), and a single build behavior.

blkcg_unpin_online() walks up the blkcg hierarchy putting the online pin. To
walk up, it uses blkcg_parent(blkcg) but it was calling that after
blkcg_destroy_blkgs(blkcg) which could free the blkcg, leading to the
following UAF:

Note that the UAF is not easy to trigger as the free path is indirected
behind a couple RCU grace periods and a work item execution. I could only
trigger it with artifical msleep() injected in blkcg_unpin_online().

Fix it by reading the parent pointer before destroying the blkcg's blkg's.

… prevent wrong idmap generation

The PTE_MAYBE_NG macro sets the nG page table bit according to the value
of "arm64_use_ng_mappings". This variable is currently placed in the
.bss section. create_init_idmap() is called before the .bss section
initialisation which is done in early_map_kernel(). Therefore,
data/test_prot in create_init_idmap() could be set incorrectly through
the PAGE_KERNEL -> PROT_DEFAULT -> PTE_MAYBE_NG macros.

   # llvm-objdump-21 --syms vmlinux-gcc | grep arm64_use_ng_mappings
     ffff800082f242a8 g     O .bss    0000000000000001 arm64_use_ng_mappings

The create_init_idmap() function disassembly compiled with llvm-21:

  // create_init_idmap()
  ffff80008255c058: d10103f     	sub	sp, sp, #0x40
  ffff80008255c05c: a9017bfd     	stp	x29, x30, [sp, #0x10]

  ffff80008255c070: d280e06a     	mov	x10, #0x703     // =1795

  ffff80008255c078: 394a4108     	ldrb	w8, [x8, #0x290] ------------- (1)
  ffff80008255c07c: f2e00d0a     	movk	x10, #0x68, lsl linaro-swg#48
  ffff80008255c080: f90007e9     	str	x9, [sp, #0x8]
  ffff80008255c084: aa0103f3     	mov	x19, x1
  ffff80008255c088: aa0003f4     	mov	x20, x0

  ffff80008255c090: aa082d56     	orr	x22, x10, x8, lsl linaro-swg#11 -------- (2)

Note (1) is loading the arm64_use_ng_mappings value in w8 and (2) is set
the text or data prot with the w8 value to set PTE_NG bit. If the .bss
section isn't initialized, x8 could include a garbage value and generate
an incorrect mapping.

Annotate arm64_use_ng_mappings as __read_mostly so that it is placed in
the .data section.
