All relevant architectures had already been converted to the new interface
(which just has an underscore in front of the name - not very imaginative
naming), this just force-converts the stragglers.

The modern interface is almost identical to the old one, except instead of
the page pointer it takes a "struct vm_special_mapping" that describes the
mapping (and contains the page pointer as one member), and it returns the
resulting 'vma' instead of just the error code.

Getting rid of the old interface also gets rid of some special casing,
which had caused problems with the mremap extensions to "struct
vm_special_mapping".

<title>csky: convert to generic syscall table</title>

<content type='text'>
The uapi/asm/unistd_32.h and asm/syscall_table_32.h headers can now be
generated from scripts/syscall.tbl, which makes this consistent with
the other architectures that have their own syscall.tbl.

csky has two architecture specific system calls, which I add to
the generic table.  The time32, stat64 and rlimit entries in the
syscall_abis_32 line are for system calls that were part of the generic
ABI when arch/csky got added but are no longer enabled by default for
new architectures.

Both the user visible side of asm/unistd.h and the internal syscall
table in the kernel should have the same effective contents after this.

<title>syscalls: mmap(): use unsigned offset type consistently</title>

<id>urn:sha1:295f10061af024099440b46602bcc47364551db7</id>
<content type='text'>
Most architectures that implement the old-style mmap() with byte offset
use 'unsigned long' as the type for that offset, but microblaze and
riscv have the off_t type that is shared with userspace, matching the
prototype in include/asm-generic/syscalls.h.

Make this consistent by using an unsigned argument everywhere. This
changes the behavior slightly, as the argument is shifted to a page
number, and an user input with the top bit set would result in a
negative page offset rather than a large one as we use elsewhere.

For riscv, the 32-bit sys_mmap2() definition actually used a custom
type that is different from the global declaration, but this was
missed due to an incorrect type check.

<title>kprobe/ftrace: bail out if ftrace was killed</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1a7d0890dd4a502a202aaec792a6c04e6e049547</id>
<content type='text'>
If an error happens in ftrace, ftrace_kill() will prevent disarming
kprobes. Eventually, the ftrace_ops associated with the kprobes will be
freed, yet the kprobes will still be active, and when triggered, they
will use the freed memory, likely resulting in a page fault and panic.

This behavior can be reproduced quite easily, by creating a kprobe and
then triggering a ftrace_kill(). For simplicity, we can simulate an
ftrace error with a kernel module like [1]:

[1]: https://github.com/brenns10/kernel_stuff/tree/master/ftrace_killer

  sudo perf probe --add commit_creds
  sudo perf trace -e probe:commit_creds
  # In another terminal
  make
  sudo insmod ftrace_killer.ko  # calls ftrace_kill(), simulating bug
  # Back to perf terminal
  # ctrl-c
  sudo perf probe --del commit_creds

After a short period, a page fault and panic would occur as the kprobe
continues to execute and uses the freed ftrace_ops. While ftrace_kill()
is supposed to be used only in extreme circumstances, it is invoked in
FTRACE_WARN_ON() and so there are many places where an unexpected bug
could be triggered, yet the system may continue operating, possibly
without the administrator noticing. If ftrace_kill() does not panic the
system, then we should do everything we can to continue operating,
rather than leave a ticking time bomb.

Now Kbuild provides reasonable defaults for objtool, sanitizers, and
profilers.

Remove redundant variables.

Note:

This commit changes the coverage for some objects:

  - include arch/mips/vdso/vdso-image.o into UBSAN, GCOV, KCOV
  - include arch/sparc/vdso/vdso-image-*.o into UBSAN
  - include arch/sparc/vdso/vma.o into UBSAN
  - include arch/x86/entry/vdso/extable.o into KASAN, KCSAN, UBSAN, GCOV, KCOV
  - include arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso-image-*.o into KASAN, KCSAN, UBSAN, GCOV, KCOV
  - include arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32-setup.o into KASAN, KCSAN, UBSAN, GCOV, KCOV
  - include arch/x86/entry/vdso/vma.o into GCOV, KCOV
  - include arch/x86/um/vdso/vma.o into KASAN, GCOV, KCOV

I believe these are positive effects because all of them are kernel
space objects.

<title>kbuild: use $(src) instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for source directory</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b1992c3772e69a6fd0e3fc81cd4d2820c8b6eca0</id>
<content type='text'>
Kbuild conventionally uses $(obj)/ for generated files, and $(src)/ for
checked-in source files. It is merely a convention without any functional
difference. In fact, $(obj) and $(src) are exactly the same, as defined
in scripts/Makefile.build:

    src := $(obj)

When the kernel is built in a separate output directory, $(src) does
not accurately reflect the source directory location. While Kbuild
resolves this discrepancy by specifying VPATH=$(srctree) to search for
source files, it does not cover all cases. For example, when adding a
header search path for local headers, -I$(srctree)/$(src) is typically
passed to the compiler.

This introduces inconsistency between upstream and downstream Makefiles
because $(src) is used instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for the latter.

To address this inconsistency, this commit changes the semantics of
$(src) so that it always points to the directory in the source tree.

Going forward, the variables used in Makefiles will have the following
meanings:

  $(obj)     - directory in the object tree
  $(src)     - directory in the source tree  (changed by this commit)
  $(objtree) - the top of the kernel object tree
  $(srctree) - the top of the kernel source tree

Consequently, $(srctree)/$(src) in upstream Makefiles need to be replaced
with $(src).

There is no point in having seven architectures implementing the same empty

Provide a weak function in the init code and remove the stubs.

This also allows to utilize the function on UP which is required to
sanitize the per CPU handling on X86 UP.
