This is called from deep entry ASM in a situation where instrumentation
will cause more harm than providing useful information.
Switch from memmove() to memcpy() because memmove() can't be called
from noinstr code.

Currently entry_64_compat is exempt from objtool, but with vmlinux
mode there is no hiding it.
Make the following changes to make it pass:
- change entry_SYSENTER_compat to STT_NOTYPE; it's not a function
and doesn't have function type stack setup.
- mark all STT_NOTYPE symbols with UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY; so we do
validate them and don't treat them as unreachable.
- don't abuse RSP as a temp register, this confuses objtool
mightily as it (rightfully) thinks we're doing unspeakable
things to the stack.

This is another step towards more C-code and less convoluted ASM.
Similar to the entry path, invoke the tracer before context tracking which
might turn off RCU and invoke lockdep as the last step before going back to
user space. Annotate the code sections in exit_to_user_mode() accordingly
so objtool won't complain about the tracer invocation.

Now that the C entry points are safe, move the irq flags tracing code into
the entry helper:
- Invoke lockdep before calling into context tracking
- Use the safe trace_hardirqs_on_prepare() trace function after context
tracking established state and RCU is watching.
enter_from_user_mode() is also still invoked from the exception/interrupt
entry code which still contains the ASM irq flags tracing. So this is just
a redundant and harmless invocation of tracing / lockdep until these are
removed as well.

Both the callers in the low level ASM code and __context_tracking_exit()
which is invoked from enter_from_user_mode() via user_exit_irqoff() are
marked NOKPROBE. Allowing enter_from_user_mode() to be probed is
inconsistent at best.
Aside of that while function tracing per se is safe the function trace
entry/exit points can be used via BPF as well which is not safe to use
before context tracking has reached CONTEXT_KERNEL and adjusted RCU.
Mark it noinstr which moves it into the instrumentation protected text
section and includes notrace.
Note, this needs further fixups in context tracking to ensure that the
full call chain is protected. Will be addressed in follow up changes.

That code is already not traceable. Move it into the noinstr section so the
objtool section validation does not trigger.
Annotate the warning code as "safe". While it might be not under all
circumstances, getting the information out is important enough.
Should this ever trigger from the sensitive code which is shielded against
instrumentation, e.g. low level entry, then the printk is the least of the
worries.

context tracking lacks a few protection mechanisms against instrumentation:
- While the core functions are marked NOKPROBE they lack protection
against function tracing which is required as the function entry/exit
points can be utilized by BPF.
- static functions invoked from the protected functions need to be marked
as well as they can be instrumented otherwise.
- using plain inline allows the compiler to emit traceable and probable
functions.
Fix this by marking the functions noinstr and converting the plain inlines
to __always_inline.
The NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() annotations are removed as the .noinstr.text section
is already excluded from being probed.
Cures the following objtool warnings:
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: enter_from_user_mode()+0x34: call to __context_tracking_exit() leaves .noinstr.text section
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: prepare_exit_to_usermode()+0x29: call to __context_tracking_enter() leaves .noinstr.text section

Remove the memmove() call and simply write out what needs doing; this
even clarifies the code, win-win! The code copies from the espfix64

With commit dc20b2d52653 ("x86/idt: Move interrupt gate initialization to
IDT code") non assigned system vectors are also marked as used in
'used_vectors' (now 'system_vectors') bitmap. This makes checks in
arch_show_interrupts() whether a particular system vector is allocated to
always pass and e.g. 'Hyper-V reenlightenment interrupts' entry always
shows up in /proc/interrupts.
Another side effect of having all unassigned system vectors marked as used
is that irq_matrix_debug_show() will wrongly count them among 'System'
vectors.
As it is now ensured that alloc_intr_gate() is not called after init, it is
possible to leave unused entries in 'system_vectors' unset to fix these
issues.

Commit cfa7ede20f133c ("arm64: set TEXT_OFFSET to 0x0 in preparation for
removing it entirely") results in boot failures when booting kernels that
are built without KASLR support on broken bootloaders that ignore the
TEXT_OFFSET value passed via the header, and use the default of 0x80000
instead.
To work around this, turn CONFIG_RELOCATABLE on by default, even if KASLR
itself (CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE) is turned off, and require CONFIG_EXPERT
to be enabled to deviate from this. Then, emit a warning into the kernel
log if we are not booting via the EFI stub (which is permitted to deviate
from the placement restrictions) and the kernel base address is not placed
according to the rules as laid out in Documentation/arm64/booting.rst.

Even after commit c624adc9cb6e ("samples: fix binderfs sample"), this
sample is never compiled.
'hostprogs' teaches Kbuild that this is a host program, but not enough
to order to compile it. You must add it to 'always-y' to really compile
it.
Since this sample has never been compiled in upstream, various issues
are left unnoticed.
[1] compilers without <linux/android/binderfs.h> are still widely used
<linux/android/binderfs.h> is only available since commit c13295ad219d
("binderfs: rename header to binderfs.h"), i.e., Linux 5.0
If your compiler is based on UAPI headers older than Linux 5.0, you
will see the following error:
samples/binderfs/binderfs_example.c:16:10: fatal error: linux/android/binderfs.h: No such file or directory
#include <linux/android/binderfs.h>
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
You cannot rely on compilers having such a new header.
The common approach is to install UAPI headers of this kernel into
usr/include, and then add it to the header search path.
I added 'depends on HEADERS_INSTALL' in Kconfig, and '-I usr/include'
compiler flag in Makefile.
[2] compile the sample for target architecture
Because headers_install works for the target architecture, only the
native compiler was able to build sample code that requires
'-I usr/include'.
Commit 7f3a59db274c ("kbuild: add infrastructure to build userspace
programs") added the new syntax 'userprogs' to compile user-space
programs for the target architecture.
Use it, and then 'ifndef CROSS_COMPILE' will go away.
I added 'depends on CC_CAN_LINK' because $(CC) is not necessarily
capable of linking user-space programs.
[3] use subdir-y to descend into samples/binderfs
Since this directory does not contain any kernel-space code, it has no
point in generating built-in.a or modules.order.
Replace obj-$(CONFIG_...) with subdir-$(CONFIG_...).
[4] -Wunused-variable warning
If I compile this, I see the following warning.
samples/binderfs/binderfs_example.c: In function 'main':
samples/binderfs/binderfs_example.c:21:9: warning: unused variable 'len' [-Wunused-variable]
21 | size_t len;
| ^~~
I removed the unused 'len'.
[5] CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDERFS is not required
Since this is a user-space standalone program, it is independent of
the kernel configuration.
Remove 'depends on ANDROID_BINDERFS'.

kdb has to get messages on consoles even when the system is stopped.
It uses kdb_printf() internally and calls console drivers on its own.
It uses a hack to reuse an existing code. It sets "kdb_trap_printk"
global variable to redirect even the normal printk() into the
kdb_printf() variant.
The variable "kdb_trap_printk" is checked in printk_default() and
it is ignored when printk is redirected to printk_safe in NMI context.
Solve this by moving the check into printk_func().
It is obvious that it is not fully safe. But it does not make things
worse. The console drivers are already called in this context by
db_printf() direct calls.

Currently instrumentation of atomic primitives is done at the architecture
level, while composites or fallbacks are provided at the generic level.
The result is that there are no uninstrumented variants of the
fallbacks. Since there is now need of such variants to isolate text poke
from any form of instrumentation invert this ordering.
Doing this means moving the instrumentation into the generic code as
well as having (for now) two variants of the fallbacks.
Notes:
- the various *cond_read* primitives are not proper fallbacks
and got moved into linux/atomic.c. No arch_ variants are
generated because the base primitives smp_cond_load*()
are instrumented.
- once all architectures are moved over to arch_atomic_ one of the
fallback variants can be removed and some 2300 lines reclaimed.
- atomic_{read,set}*() are no longer double-instrumented

Use __always_inline for atomic fallback wrappers. When building for size
(CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE), some compilers appear to be less inclined to
inline even relatively small static inline functions that are assumed to
be inlinable such as atomic ops. This can cause problems, for example in
UACCESS regions.
While the fallback wrappers aren't pure wrappers, they are trivial
nonetheless, and the function they wrap should determine the final
inlining policy.

Even if RISC-V has supported the vDSO feature, the latency of the functions
for obtaining the system time is still expensive. It is because these
functions still trigger a corresponding system call in the process, which
slows down the response time. If we want to remove the system call to
reduce the latency, the kernel should have the ability to output the system
clock information to userspace. This patch introduces the vDSO common flow
to enable the kernel to achieve the above feature and uses "rdtime"
instruction to obtain the current time in the user space. Under this
condition, the latency cost by the ecall from U-mode to S-mode can be
eliminated. After applying this patch, the latency of gettimeofday()
measured on the HiFive unleashed board can be reduced by %61.

Patch series "improve use_mm / unuse_mm", v2.
This series improves the use_mm / unuse_mm interface by better documenting
the assumptions, and my taking the set_fs manipulations spread over the
callers into the core API.
This patch (of 3):
Use the proper API instead.
Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected]
These helpers are only for use with kernel threads, and I will tie them
more into the kthread infrastructure going forward. Also move the
prototypes to kthread.h - mmu_context.h was a little weird to start with
as it otherwise contains very low-level MM bits.

Modify the variable type of 'skip' member of struct stack_trace.
In theory, the 'skip' variable type should be unsigned int.
There are two reasons:
- The 'skip' only has two situation, 1)Positive value, 2)Zero
- The 'skip' of struct stack_trace has inconsistent type with struct
stack_trace_data, it makes a bit confusion in the relationship between
struct stack_trace and stack_trace_data.

While making other modifications it was easy to confuse the two struct
members node_zones and node_zonelists. For those already familiar with
the code, this might seem to be a silly patch, but it's quite helpful to
disambiguate the similar-sounding fields
While here, add a small comment on why nr_zones isn't simply MAX_NR_ZONES

Architectures can have CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE enabled but no THP
support enabled based on platforms. For ex: with 4K PAGE_SIZE ppc64
supports THP only with radix translation.
This results in below crash when running with hash translation and 4K
PAGE_SIZE.

Commit 2d6261583be0 ("lib: rework bitmap_parse()") does not take into
account order of halfwords on 64-bit big endian architectures. As
result (at least) Receive Packet Steering, IRQ affinity masks and
runtime kernel test "test_bitmap" get broken on s390.

Adding a new kernel parameter with documentation makes checkpatch complain
__setup appears un-documented -- check Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst
The list of kernel parameters has moved to a separate txt file, but
checkpatch has not been updated for this.
Make checkpatch.pl look for the documentation for new kernel parameters
in kernel-parameters.txt instead of kernel-parameters.rst.
