Pull x86 cleanups from Peter Anvin:
 "The biggest textual change is the cleanup to use symbolic constants
  for x86 trap values.

  The only *functional* change and the reason for the x86/x32 dependency
  is the move of is_ia32_task() into <asm/thread_info.h> so that it can
  be used in other code that needs to understand if a system call comes
  from the compat entry point (and therefore uses i386 system call
  numbers) or not.  One intended user for that is the BPF system call
  filter.  Moving it out of <asm/compat.h> means we can define it
  unconditionally, returning always true on i386."

Pull x32 support for x86-64 from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree introduces the X32 binary format and execution mode for x86:
  32-bit data space binaries using 64-bit instructions and 64-bit kernel
  syscalls.

  This allows applications whose working set fits into a 32 bits address
  space to make use of 64-bit instructions while using a 32-bit address
  space with shorter pointers, more compressed data structures, etc."

51e7dc7011 x86: Rename trap_no to trap_nr in thread_struct
There are precedences of trap number being referred to as
trap_nr. However thread struct refers trap number as trap_no.
Change it to trap_nr.

Also use enum instead of left-over literals for trap values.

This is pure cleanup, no functional change intended.

1361b83a13 i387: Split up <asm/i387.h> into exported and internal interfaces
While various modules include <asm/i387.h> to get access to things we
actually *intend* for them to use, most of that header file was really
pretty low-level internal stuff that we really don't want to expose to
others.

So split the header file into two: the small exported interfaces remain
in <asm/i387.h>, while the internal definitions that are only used by
core architecture code are now in <asm/fpu-internal.h>.

The guiding principle for this was to expose functions that we export to
modules, and leave them in <asm/i387.h>, while stuff that is used by
task switching or was marked GPL-only is in <asm/fpu-internal.h>.

The fpu-internal.h file could be further split up too, especially since
arch/x86/kvm/ uses some of the remaining stuff for its module.  But that
kvm usage should probably be abstracted out a bit, and at least now the
internal FPU accessor functions are much more contained.  Even if it
isn't perhaps as contained as it _could_ be.

c5a373942b x32: Signal-related system calls
x32 uses the 64-bit signal frame format, obviously, but there are some
structures which mixes that with pointers or sizeof(long) types, as
such we have to create a handful of system calls specific to x32.  By
and large these are a mixture of the 64-bit and the compat system
calls.

There are some definitions which are duplicated between
kernel/signal.c and ia32/ia32_signal.c; move them to a common header
file.

Rather than adding stuff to existing header files which contain data

("all the good ones were taken.")

Note: nothing relied on signal_fault() being defined in

73d382decc x86: Kill handle_signal()->set_fs()
handle_signal()->set_fs() has a nice comment which explains what
set_fs() is, but it doesn't explain why it is needed and why it
depends on CONFIG_X86_64.

Afaics, the history of this confusion is:

	1. I guess today nobody can explain why it was needed
	   in arch/i386/kernel/signal.c, perhaps it was always
	   wrong. This predates 2.4.0 kernel.

	2. then it was copy-and-past'ed to the new x86_64 arch.

	3. then it was removed from i386 (but not from x86_64)
	   by b93b6ca3 "i386: remove unnecessary code".

	4. then it was reintroduced under CONFIG_X86_64 when x86
	   unified i386 and x86_64, because the patch above didn't
	   touch x86_64.

Remove it. ->addr_limit should be correct. Even if it was possible
that it is wrong, it is too late to fix it after setup_rt_frame().

Linus commented in:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.LFD.0.999.0707170902570.19166@woody.linux-foundation.org

... about the equivalent bit from i386:

Heh. I think it's entirely historical.

Please realize that the whole reason that function is called "set_fs()" is 
that it literally used to set the %fs segment register, not 
"->addr_limit".

So I think the "set_fs(USER_DS)" is there _only_ to match the other

        regs->xds = __USER_DS;
        regs->xes = __USER_DS;
        regs->xss = __USER_DS;
        regs->xcs = __USER_CS;

things, and never mattered. And now it matters even less, and has been 
copied to all other architectures where it is just totally insane.

9b42962074 x86, do_signal: Simplify the TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK logic
1. do_signal() looks at TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK and calculates the
   mask which should be stored in the signal frame, then it
   passes "oldset" to the callees, down to setup_rt_frame().

   This is ugly, setup_rt_frame() can do this itself and nobody
   else needs this sigset_t. Move this code into setup_rt_frame.

2. do_signal() also clears TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK if handle_signal()
   succeeds.

   We can move this to setup_rt_frame() as well, this avoids the
   unnecessary checks and makes the logic more clear.

3. use set_current_blocked() instead of sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK),
   sigprocmask() should be avoided.

e9bd3f0faa x86: signal: sys_rt_sigreturn() should use set_current_blocked()
Normally sys_rt_sigreturn() restores the old current->blocked which was
changed by handle_signal(), and unblocking is always fine.

But the debugger or application itself can change frame->uc_sigmask and
thus we need set_current_blocked()->retarget_shared_pending().

e6a585801b x86: signal: handle_signal() should use set_current_blocked()
This is ugly, but if sigprocmask() needs retarget_shared_pending() then
handle signal should follow this logic. In theory it is newer correct to
add the new signals to current->blocked, the signal handler can sleep/etc
so we should notify other threads in case we block the pending signal and
nobody else has TIF_SIGPENDING.

Of course, this change doesn't make signals faster :/

ee18d64c1f KEYS: Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring on its parent [try #6]
Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring onto its parent.  This
replaces the parent's session keyring.  Because the COW credential code does
not permit one process to change another process's credentials directly, the
change is deferred until userspace next starts executing again.  Normally this
will be after a wait*() syscall.

To support this, three new security hooks have been provided:
cred_alloc_blank() to allocate unset security creds, cred_transfer() to fill in
the blank security creds and key_session_to_parent() - which asks the LSM if
the process may replace its parent's session keyring.

The replacement may only happen if the process has the same ownership details
as its parent, and the process has LINK permission on the session keyring, and
the session keyring is owned by the process, and the LSM permits it.

Note that this requires alteration to each architecture's notify_resume path.
This has been done for all arches barring blackfin, m68k* and xtensa, all of
which need assembly alteration to support TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME.  This allows the
replacement to be performed at the point the parent process resumes userspace
execution.

This allows the userspace AFS pioctl emulation to fully emulate newpag() and
the VIOCSETTOK and VIOCSETTOK2 pioctls, all of which require the ability to
alter the parent process's PAG membership.  However, since kAFS doesn't use
PAGs per se, but rather dumps the keys into the session keyring, the session
keyring of the parent must be replaced if, for example, VIOCSETTOK is passed
the newpag flag.

This can be tested with the following program:

	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <stdlib.h>
	#include <keyutils.h>

	#define KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT	18

	#define OSERROR(X, S) do { if ((long)(X) == -1) { perror(S); exit(1); } } while(0)

	int main(int argc, char **argv)
	{
		key_serial_t keyring, key;
		long ret;

		keyring = keyctl_join_session_keyring(argv[1]);
		OSERROR(keyring, "keyctl_join_session_keyring");

		key = add_key("user", "a", "b", 1, keyring);
		OSERROR(key, "add_key");

		ret = keyctl(KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT);
		OSERROR(ret, "KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT");

		return 0;
	}

Compiled and linked with -lkeyutils, you should see something like:

	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
	Session Keyring
	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: _ses
	355907932 --alswrv   4043    -1   \_ keyring: _uid.4043
	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag
	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
	Session Keyring
	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: _ses
	1055658746 --alswrv   4043  4043   \_ user: a
	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag hello
	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
	Session Keyring
	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: hello
	340417692 --alswrv   4043  4043   \_ user: a

Where the test program creates a new session keyring, sticks a user key named
'a' into it and then installs it on its parent.

9b1beaf2b5 x86, mce: support action-optional machine checks
Newer Intel CPUs support a new class of machine checks called recoverable
action optional.

Action Optional means that the CPU detected some form of corruption in
the background and tells the OS about using a machine check
exception. The OS can then take appropiate action, like killing the
process with the corrupted data or logging the event properly to disk.

This is done by the new generic high level memory failure handler added
in a earlier patch. The high level handler takes the address with the
failed memory and does the appropiate action, like killing the process.

In this version of the patch the high level handler is stubbed out
with a weak function to not create a direct dependency on the hwpoison
branch.

The high level handler cannot be directly called from the machine check
exception though, because it has to run in a defined process context to
be able to sleep when taking VM locks (it is not expected to sleep for a
long time, just do so in some exceptional cases like lock contention)

Thus the MCE handler has to queue a work item for process context,
trigger process context and then call the high level handler from there.

This patch adds two path to process context: through a per thread kernel
exit notify_user() callback or through a high priority work item.
The first runs when the process exits back to user space, the other when
it goes to sleep and there is no higher priority process.

The machine check handler will schedule both, and whoever runs first
will grab the event. This is done because quick reaction to this
event is critical to avoid a potential more fatal machine check
when the corruption is consumed.

There is a simple lock less ring buffer to queue the corrupted
addresses between the exception handler and the process context handler.
Then in process context it just calls the high level VM code with
the corrupted PFNs.

The code adds the required code to extract the failed address from
the CPU's machine check registers. It doesn't try to handle all
possible cases -- the specification has 6 different ways to specify
memory address -- but only the linear address.

Most of the required checking has been already done earlier in the
mce_severity rule checking engine.  Following the Intel
recommendations Action Optional errors are only enabled for known
situations (encoded in MCACODs). The errors are ignored otherwise,
because they are action optional.

Rename the mce_notify_user function to mce_notify_irq. The next
patch will split the wakeup handling of interrupt context
and of process context and it's better to give it a clearer

4efc0670ba x86, mce: use 64bit machine check code on 32bit
The 64bit machine check code is in many ways much better than
the 32bit machine check code: it is more specification compliant,
is cleaner, only has a single code base versus one per CPU,
has better infrastructure for recovery, has a cleaner way to communicate
with user space etc. etc.

Use the 64bit code for 32bit too.

This is the second attempt to do this. There was one a couple of years
ago to unify this code for 32bit and 64bit.  Back then this ran into some
trouble with K7s and was reverted.

I believe this time the K7 problems (and some others) are addressed.
I went over the old handlers and was very careful to retain
all quirks.

But of course this needs a lot of testing on old systems. On newer
64bit capable systems I don't expect much problems because they have been
already tested with the 64bit kernel.

I made this a CONFIG for now that still allows to select the old
machine check code. This is mostly to make testing easier,
if someone runs into a problem we can ask them to try
with the CONFIG switched.

The new code is default y for more coverage.

Once there is confidence the 64bit code works well on older hardware
too the CONFIG_X86_OLD_MCE and the associated code can be easily
removed.

This causes a behaviour change for 32bit installations. They now
have to install the mcelog package to be able to log
corrected machine checks.

The 64bit machine check code only handles CPUs which support the
standard Intel machine check architecture described in the IA32 SDM.
The 32bit code has special support for some older CPUs which
have non standard machine check architectures, in particular
WinChip C3 and Intel P5.  I made those a separate CONFIG option
and kept them for now. The WinChip variant could be probably
removed without too much pain, it doesn't really do anything
interesting. P5 is also disabled by default (like it
was before) because many motherboards have it miswired, but
according to Alan Cox a few embedded setups use that one.

Forward ported/heavily changed version of old patch, original patch
included review/fixes from Thomas Gleixner, Bert Wesarg.

925d519ab8 perf_counter: unify and fix delayed counter wakeup
While going over the wakeup code I noticed delayed wakeups only work
for hardware counters but basically all software counters rely on
them.

This patch unifies and generalizes the delayed wakeup to fix this
issue.

Since we're dealing with NMI context bits here, use a cmpxchg() based
single link list implementation to track counters that have pending
wakeups.

[ This should really be generic code for delayed wakeups, but since we
  cannot use cmpxchg()/xchg() in generic code, I've let it live in the
  perf_counter code. -- Eric Dumazet could use it to aggregate the
  network wakeups. ]

Furthermore, the x86 method of using TIF flags was flawed in that its
quite possible to end up setting the bit on the idle task, loosing the
wakeup.

The powerpc method uses per-cpu storage and does appear to be
sufficient.

Checking on_sig_stack() in sas_ss_flags() at get_sigframe() is redundant
and not correct on 64 bit. To check sas_ss_size is enough.

b12bdaf11f x86: use regparm(3) for passed-in pt_regs pointer
Some syscalls need to access the pt_regs structure, either to copy
user register state or to modifiy it.  This patch adds stubs to load
the address of the pt_regs struct into the %eax register, and changes
the syscalls to take the pointer as an argument instead of relying on
the assumption that the pt_regs structure overlaps the function
arguments.

Drop the use of regparm(1) due to concern about gcc bugs, and to move
in the direction of the eventual removal of regparm(0) for asmlinkage.

d9a89a26e0 x86: add %gs accessors for x86_32
Impact: cleanup

On x86_32, %gs is handled lazily.  It's not saved and restored on
kernel entry/exit but only when necessary which usually is during task
switch but there are few other places.  Currently, it's done by
calling savesegment() and loadsegment() explicitly.  Define
get_user_gs(), set_user_gs() and task_user_gs() and use them instead.

While at it, clean up register access macros in signal.c.

This cleans up code a bit and will help future changes.

552b8aa4d1 Revert "x86: signal: change type of paramter for sys_rt_sigreturn()"
This reverts commit 4217458daf.

Justin Madru bisected this commit, it was causing weird Firefox
crashes.

The reason is that GCC mis-optimizes (re-uses) the on-stack parameters of
the calling frame, which corrupts the syscall return pt_regs state and
thus corrupts user-space register state.

So we go back to the slightly less clean but more optimization-safe
method of getting to pt_regs. Also add a comment to explain this.
