We merge this branch because x86/debug touches code that we started cleaning up in x86/irq. The two branches started out independent, but as unexpected amount of activity went into x86/irq, they became dependent. Resolve that by this cross-merge.

entry_32.S is now the only user of KPROBE_ENTRY / KPROBE_END, treewide. This patch reorders entry_64.S and explicitly generates a separate section for functions that need the protection. The generated code before and after the patch is equal. The KPROBE_ENTRY and KPROBE_END macro's are removed too.

Impact: clean up assembly macros and annotations - with some object impact entry_64.S is the only user of KPROBE_ENTRY / KPROBE_END on x86_64. This patch reorders entry_64.S and explicitly generates a separate section for functions that need the protection. The generated code before and after the patch is equal. Implicitly changing sections in assembly files makes it more difficult to follow why the assembler is doing certain things. For example, .p2align 5 KPROBE_ENTRY(...) was not doing what you would expect. Other section changes (__ex_table, .fixup, .init.rodata) are done explicitly already.

Impact: improve backtrace quality avoid the confusion in call trace because of the lack of padding at the tail of function. When do_exit gets called, the return address behind call instruction is pushed into stack. If something get wrong in do_exit, for x86_64, the entry "kernel_execve +0x00/0xXX" rather than "child_rip +0xYY/0xZZ" is in the call trace. That looks confusing, so add a u2d to make the return address still part of the original call site. (This also catches any instances of us returning from that function somehow.)

Impact: make ENTRY()/END() macros more capable It's usefull to catch unbalanced or messed or mixed declarations of ENTRY and KPROBES. These macros would help a bit. For example the following code would compile without problems ENTRY_X86(mcount) retq END_X86(mcount) But if you forget and mess the following form ENTRY_X86(mcount) retq END(mcount) ENTRY_X86(ftrace_caller) The assembler will issue the following message: Error: ENTRY_X86/KPROBE_X86 unbalanced,missed,mixed Actually the checking is performed at every _X86 macro so maybe it's good idea to put ENTRY_KPROBE_FINAL_X86 at the end of .S file to be sure you didn't miss anything.

Impact: cleanup Move recently introduced dwarf2 macros to dwarf2.h file. It allow us to not duplicate them in assembly files. Active usage of _cfi macros don't make assembly files more obvious to understand but we already have a lot of macros there which requires to search the definitions of them *anyway*. But at least it make every cfi usage one line shorter. Also some code alignment is done. Signed-off-by: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Impact: make stack overflow debug check and printout narrower stack_overflow_check() should consider the stack usage of pt_regs, and thus it could warn us in advance. Additionally, it looks better for the warning time to start at INITIAL_JIFFIES. Assuming that rsp gets close to the check point before interrupt arrives: when interrupt really happens, thread_info will be partly overrode.

Itanium processors can handle some misaligned data accesses. They also provide a mode where all such accesses are forced to trap. The kernel was schizophrenic about use of this mode: * Base kernel code ran in permissive mode where the only traps generated were from those cases that the h/w could not handle. * Interrupt, syscall and trap code ran in strict mode where all unaligned accesses caused traps to the 0x5a00 unaligned reference vector. Use strict alignment checking throughout the kernel, but make sure that we continue to let user mode use more relaxed mode as the default. Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

When we migrate an interrupt from one CPU to another, we set the move_in_progress flag and clean up the vectors later once they're not being used. If you're unlucky and call destroy_irq() before the vectors become un-used, the move_in_progress flag is never cleared, which causes the interrupt to become unusable. This was discovered by Jesse Brandeburg for whom it manifested as an MSI-X device refusing to use MSI-X mode when the driver was unloaded and reloaded repeatedly.

Fix a regression reported by Max Kellermann whereby kernel profiling showed that his clients were spending 45% of their time in rpcauth_lookup_credcache. It turns out that although his processes had identical uid/gid/groups, generic_match() was failing to detect this, because the task->group_info pointers were not shared. This again lead to the creation of a huge number of identical credentials at the RPC layer. The regression is fixed by comparing the contents of task->group_info if the actual pointers are not identical.

But since translate_usr_offset() returns -1 for invalid offsets, addr can now get the value 0xffffffff which then fails the next return-value sanity check and thus the kernel tries to access invalid memory: if (addr < 0) break; Fix this bug by modifying translate_usr_offset() to take and return values of type compat_ulong_t, and by returning the value "sizeof(struct pt_regs)" as an error indicator. Additionally change the sanity check to check for return values for >= sizeof(struct pt_regs). This patch survived my compile and run-tests.
