9a6fb28a35 x86/mce: Improve memcpy_mcsafe()
Use the mcsafe_key defined in the previous patch to make decisions on which
copy function to use. We can't use the FEATURE bit any more because PCI
quirks run too late to affect the patching of code. So we use a static key.

Turn memcpy_mcsafe() into an inline function to make life easier for
callers. The assembly code that actually does the copy is now named
memcpy_mcsafe_unrolled()

186f43608a x86/kernel: Audit and remove any unnecessary uses of module.h
Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have
a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing
support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends.  That changed
when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file.

This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h
in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig.  The advantage
in doing so is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers;
adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what
headers we are effectively using.

Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for
export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each obj-y/bool instance
for the presence of either and replace as needed.  Build testing
revealed some implicit header usage that was fixed up accordingly.

Note that some bool/obj-y instances remain since module.h is
the header for some exception table entry stuff, and for things
like __init_or_module (code that is tossed when MODULES=n).

f5967101e9 x86/hweight: Get rid of the special calling convention
People complained about ARCH_HWEIGHT_CFLAGS and how it throws a wrench
into kcov, lto, etc, experimentations.

Add asm versions for __sw_hweight{32,64}() and do explicit saving and
restoring of clobbered registers. This gets rid of the special calling
convention. We get to call those functions on !X86_FEATURE_POPCNT CPUs.

We still need to hardcode POPCNT and register operands as some old gas
versions which we support, do not know about POPCNT.

Btw, remove redundant REX prefix from 32-bit POPCNT because alternatives
can do padding now.

92b0729c34 x86/mm, x86/mce: Add memcpy_mcsafe()
Make use of the EXTABLE_FAULT exception table entries to write
a kernel copy routine that doesn't crash the system if it
encounters a machine check. Prime use case for this is to copy
from large arrays of non-volatile memory used as storage.

We have to use an unrolled copy loop for now because current
hardware implementations treat a machine check in "rep mov"
as fatal. When that is fixed we can simplify.

Return type is a "bool". True means that we copied OK, false means
that it didn't.

393f203f5f x86_64: kasan: add interceptors for memset/memmove/memcpy functions
Recently instrumentation of builtin functions calls was removed from GCC
5.0.  To check the memory accessed by such functions, userspace asan
always uses interceptors for them.

So now we should do this as well.  This patch declares
memset/memmove/memcpy as weak symbols.  In mm/kasan/kasan.c we have our
own implementation of those functions which checks memory before accessing
it.

Default memset/memmove/memcpy now now always have aliases with '__'
prefix.  For files that built without kasan instrumentation (e.g.
mm/slub.c) original mem* replaced (via #define) with prefixed variants,
cause we don't want to check memory accesses there.

0bdf525f04 x86: Improve __phys_addr performance by making use of carry flags and inlining
This patch is meant to improve overall system performance when making use of
the __phys_addr call.  To do this I have implemented several changes.

First if CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is not defined __phys_addr is made an inline,
similar to how this is currently handled in 32 bit.  However in order to do
this it is required to export phys_base so that it is available if __phys_addr
is used in kernel modules.

The second change was to streamline the code by making use of the carry flag
on an add operation instead of performing a compare on a 64 bit value.  The
advantage to this is that it allows us to significantly reduce the overall
size of the call.  On my Xeon E5 system the entire __phys_addr inline call
consumes a little less than 32 bytes and 5 instructions.  I also applied
similar logic to the debug version of the function.  My testing shows that the
debug version of the function with this patch applied is slightly faster than
the non-debug version without the patch.

Finally I also applied the same logic changes to __virt_addr_valid since it
used the same general code flow as __phys_addr and could achieve similar gains
though these changes.

d57c5d51a3 ftrace/x86: Add support for -mfentry to x86_64
If the kernel is compiled with gcc 4.6.0 which supports -mfentry,
then use that instead of mcount.

With mcount, frame pointers are forced with the -pg option and we
get something like:

<can_vma_merge_before>:
       55                      push   %rbp
       48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
       53                      push   %rbx
       41 51                   push   %r9
       e8 fe 6a 39 00          callq  ffffffff81483d00 <mcount>
       31 c0                   xor    %eax,%eax
       48 89 fb                mov    %rdi,%rbx
       48 89 d7                mov    %rdx,%rdi
       48 33 73 30             xor    0x30(%rbx),%rsi
       48 f7 c6 ff ff ff f7    test   $0xfffffffff7ffffff,%rsi

With -mfentry, frame pointers are no longer forced and the call looks
like this:

<can_vma_merge_before>:
       e8 33 af 37 00          callq  ffffffff81461b40 <__fentry__>
       53                      push   %rbx
       48 89 fb                mov    %rdi,%rbx
       31 c0                   xor    %eax,%eax
       48 89 d7                mov    %rdx,%rdi
       41 51                   push   %r9
       48 33 73 30             xor    0x30(%rbx),%rsi
       48 f7 c6 ff ff ff f7    test   $0xfffffffff7ffffff,%rsi

This adds the ftrace hook at the beginning of the function before a
frame is set up, and allows the function callbacks to be able to access
parameters. As kprobes now can use function tracing (at least on x86)
this speeds up the kprobe hooks that are at the beginning of the
function.

with Ivybridge, REG string operation using MOVSB and STOSB can provide both
flexible and high-performance REG string operations in cases like memory copy.
Enhancement availability is indicated by CPUID.7.0.EBX[9] (Enhanced REP MOVSB/
STOSB).

If CPU erms feature is detected, patch copy_user_generic with enhanced fast
string version of copy_user_generic.

A few new macros are defined to reduce duplicate code in ALTERNATIVE and

9f0cf4adb6 x86: Use __builtin_object_size() to validate the buffer size for copy_from_user()
gcc (4.x) supports the __builtin_object_size() builtin, which
reports the size of an object that a pointer point to, when known
at compile time. If the buffer size is not known at compile time, a
constant -1 is returned.

This patch uses this feature to add a sanity check to
copy_from_user(); if the target buffer is known to be smaller than
the copy size, the copy is aborted and a WARNing is emitted in
memory debug mode.

These extra checks compile away when the object size is not known,
or if both the buffer size and the copy length are constants.

x86 percpu accessors.  Add x86_test_and_clear_bit_percpu() and replace
pda op implementations with wrappers around x86 percpu accessors.

606576ce81 ftrace: rename FTRACE to FUNCTION_TRACER
Due to confusion between the ftrace infrastructure and the gcc profiling
tracer "ftrace", this patch renames the config options from FTRACE to
FUNCTION_TRACER.  The other two names that are offspring from FTRACE
DYNAMIC_FTRACE and FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD will stay the same.

This patch was generated mostly by script, and partially by hand.

a939098afc x86: move x86_64 gdt closer to i386
i386 and x86_64 used two different schemes for maintaining the gdt.
With this patch, x86_64 initial gdt table is defined in a .c file,
same way as i386 is now. Also, we call it "gdt_page", and the descriptor,
"early_gdt_descr". This way we achieve common naming, which can allow for
more code integration.

395a59d0f8 ftrace: store mcount address in rec->ip
Record the address of the mcount call-site. Currently all archs except sparc64
record the address of the instruction following the mcount call-site. Some
general cleanups are entailed. Storing mcount addresses in rec->ip enables
looking them up in the kprobe hash table later on to check if they're kprobe'd.

37135677e6 ftrace: fix mcount export bug
David S. Miller noticed the following bug: the -pg instrumentation
function callback is named differently on each platform. On x86 it
is mcount, on sparc it is _mcount. So the export does not make sense
in kernel/trace/ftrace.c - move it to x86.

89804c022f x86: fix csum_partial() export
Fix this symbol export problem:

    Building modules, stage 2.
    MODPOST 193 modules
    ERROR: "csum_partial" [fs/reiserfs/reiserfs.ko] undefined!
    make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 1
    make: *** [modules] Error 2

This is due to a known weakness of symbol exports: if a symbol's
only in-core user is an EXPORT_SYMBOL from a lib-y section, the
symbol is not linked in.

The solution is to move the export to x8664_ksyms_64.c - but the real
solution would be to fix kbuild.

64ac24e738 Generic semaphore implementation
Semaphores are no longer performance-critical, so a generic C
implementation is better for maintainability, debuggability and
extensibility.  Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for fixing the lockdep
warning.  Thanks to Harvey Harrison for pointing out that the
unlikely() was unnecessary.
