Linus Torvalds 1a4a2bc460 Merge branch 'x86-asm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip ... Pull low-level x86 updates from Ingo Molnar: "In this cycle this topic tree has become one of those 'super topics' that accumulated a lot of changes: - Add CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y support to the core kernel and enable it on x86 - preceded by an array of changes. v4.8 saw preparatory changes in this area already - this is the rest of the work. Includes the thread stack caching performance optimization. (Andy Lutomirski) - switch_to() cleanups and all around enhancements. (Brian Gerst) - A large number of dumpstack infrastructure enhancements and an unwinder abstraction. The secret long term plan is safe(r) live patching plus maybe another attempt at debuginfo based unwinding - but all these current bits are standalone enhancements in a frame pointer based debug environment as well. (Josh Poimboeuf) - More __ro_after_init and const annotations. (Kees Cook) - Enable KASLR for the vmemmap memory region. (Thomas Garnier)" [ The virtually mapped stack changes are pretty fundamental, and not x86-specific per se, even if they are only used on x86 right now. ] * 'x86-asm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (70 commits) x86/asm: Get rid of __read_cr4_safe() thread_info: Use unsigned long for flags x86/alternatives: Add stack frame dependency to alternative_call_2() x86/dumpstack: Fix show_stack() task pointer regression x86/dumpstack: Remove dump_trace() and related callbacks x86/dumpstack: Convert show_trace_log_lvl() to use the new unwinder oprofile/x86: Convert x86_backtrace() to use the new unwinder x86/stacktrace: Convert save_stack_trace_*() to use the new unwinder perf/x86: Convert perf_callchain_kernel() to use the new unwinder x86/unwind: Add new unwind interface and implementations x86/dumpstack: Remove NULL task pointer convention fork: Optimize task creation by caching two thread stacks per CPU if CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y sched/core: Free the stack early if CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK lib/syscall: Pin the task stack in collect_syscall() x86/process: Pin the target stack in get_wchan() x86/dumpstack: Pin the target stack when dumping it kthread: Pin the stack via try_get_task_stack()/put_task_stack() in to_live_kthread() function sched/core: Add try_get_task_stack() and put_task_stack() x86/entry/64: Fix a minor comment rebase error iommu/amd: Don't put completion-wait semaphore on stack ...		2016-10-03 16:13:28 -07:00
