9a5bd36c0b x86/asm: Allow again using asm.h when building for the 'bpf' clang target
[ Upstream commit ca26cffa4e ]

Up to f5caf621ee ("x86/asm: Fix inline asm call constraints for Clang")
we were able to use x86 headers to build to the 'bpf' clang target, as
done by the BPF code in tools/perf/.

With that commit, we ended up with following failure for 'perf test LLVM', this
is because "clang ... -target bpf ..." fails since 4.0 does not have bpf inline
asm support and 6.0 does not recognize the register 'esp', fix it by guarding
that part with an #ifndef __BPF__, that is defined by clang when building to
the "bpf" target.

0a9b2dec6c x86/asm: Fix inline asm call constraints for GCC 4.4
commit 520a13c530 upstream.

The kernel test bot (run by Xiaolong Ye) reported that the following commit:

  f5caf621ee ("x86/asm: Fix inline asm call constraints for Clang")

is causing double faults in a kernel compiled with GCC 4.4.

Linus subsequently diagnosed the crash pattern and the buggy commit and found that
the issue is with this code:

  register unsigned int __asm_call_sp asm("esp");
  #define ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT "+r" (__asm_call_sp)

Even on a 64-bit kernel, it's using ESP instead of RSP.  That causes GCC
to produce the following bogus code:

  ffffffff8147461d:       89 e0                   mov    %esp,%eax
  ffffffff8147461f:       4c 89 f7                mov    %r14,%rdi
  ffffffff81474622:       4c 89 fe                mov    %r15,%rsi
  ffffffff81474625:       ba 20 00 00 00          mov    $0x20,%edx
  ffffffff8147462a:       89 c4                   mov    %eax,%esp
  ffffffff8147462c:       e8 bf 52 05 00          callq  ffffffff814c98f0 <copy_user_generic_unrolled>

Despite the absurdity of it backing up and restoring the stack pointer
for no reason, the bug is actually the fact that it's only backing up
and restoring the lower 32 bits of the stack pointer.  The upper 32 bits
are getting cleared out, corrupting the stack pointer.

So change the '__asm_call_sp' register variable to be associated with
the actual full-size stack pointer.

This also requires changing the __ASM_SEL() macro to be based on the
actual compiled arch size, rather than the CONFIG value, because
CONFIG_X86_64 compiles some files with '-m32' (e.g., realmode and vdso).
Otherwise Clang fails to build the kernel because it complains about the
use of a 64-bit register (RSP) in a 32-bit file.

4bf050da57 x86/asm: Use register variable to get stack pointer value
commit 196bd485ee upstream.

Currently we use current_stack_pointer() function to get the value
of the stack pointer register. Since commit:

  f5caf621ee ("x86/asm: Fix inline asm call constraints for Clang")

... we have a stack register variable declared. It can be used instead of
current_stack_pointer() function which allows to optimize away some
excessive "mov %rsp, %<dst>" instructions:

 -mov    %rsp,%rdx
 -sub    %rdx,%rax
 -cmp    $0x3fff,%rax
 -ja     ffffffff810722fd <ist_begin_non_atomic+0x2d>

 +sub    %rsp,%rax
 +cmp    $0x3fff,%rax
 +ja     ffffffff810722fa <ist_begin_non_atomic+0x2a>

Remove current_stack_pointer(), rename __asm_call_sp to current_stack_pointer
and use it instead of the removed function.

The CC_SET() and CC_OUT() macros can be used together to take
advantage of the new __GCC_ASM_FLAG_OUTPUTS__ feature in gcc 6+ while

548acf1923 x86/mm: Expand the exception table logic to allow new handling options
Huge amounts of help from  Andy Lutomirski and Borislav Petkov to
produce this. Andy provided the inspiration to add classes to the
exception table with a clever bit-squeezing trick, Boris pointed
out how much cleaner it would all be if we just had a new field.

Linus Torvalds blessed the expansion with:

  ' I'd rather not be clever in order to save just a tiny amount of space
    in the exception table, which isn't really criticial for anybody. '

The third field is another relative function pointer, this one to a
handler that executes the actions.

We start out with three handlers:

 1: Legacy - just jumps the to fixup IP
 2: Fault - provide the trap number in %ax to the fixup code
 3: Cleaned up legacy for the uaccess error hack

376e242429 kprobes: Introduce NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() macro to maintain kprobes blacklist
Introduce NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() macro which builds a kprobes
blacklist at kernel build time.

The usage of this macro is similar to EXPORT_SYMBOL(),
placed after the function definition:

  NOKPROBE_SYMBOL(function);

Since this macro will inhibit inlining of static/inline
functions, this patch also introduces a nokprobe_inline macro
for static/inline functions. In this case, we must use
NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() for the inline function caller.

When CONFIG_KPROBES=y, the macro stores the given function
address in the "_kprobe_blacklist" section.

Since the data structures are not fully initialized by the
macro (because there is no "size" information),  those
are re-initialized at boot time by using kallsyms.

3e9b2327b5 x86, asm: Extend definitions of _ASM_* with a raw format
The __ASM_* macros (e.g. __ASM_DX) are used to return the proper
register name (e.g. edx for 32bit / rdx for 64bit). We want to use
this also in arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h / get_user() .  For this
to work, we need a raw form as both gcc and clang choke on the
whitespace in a register asm() statement, and the __ASM_FORM macro
surrounds the argument with blanks.  A new macro, __ASM_FORM_RAW was
added and we change __ASM_REG to use the new RAW form.

706276543b x86, extable: Switch to relative exception table entries
Switch to using relative exception table entries on x86.  On i386,
this has the advantage that the exception table entries don't need to
be relocated; on x86-64 this means the exception table entries take up
only half the space.

In either case, a 32-bit delta is sufficient, as the range of kernel
code addresses is limited.

Since part of the goal is to avoid needing to adjust the entries when
the kernel is relocated, the old trick of using addresses in the NULL
pointer range to indicate uaccess_err no longer works (and unlike RISC
architectures we can't use a flag bit); instead use an delta just
below +2G to indicate these special entries.  The reach is still
limited to a single instruction.

d4541805e8 x86, extable: Use .pushsection ... .popsection for _ASM_EXTABLE()
Instead of using .section ... .previous, use .pushsection
... .popsection; this is (hopefully) a bit more robust, especially in
complex assembly code.

a750036f35 x86: Fix write lock scalability 64-bit issue
With the write lock path simply subtracting RW_LOCK_BIAS there
is, on large systems, the theoretical possibility of overflowing
the 32-bit value that was used so far (namely if 128 or more
CPUs manage to do the subtraction, but don't get to do the
inverse addition in the failure path quickly enough).

A first measure is to modify RW_LOCK_BIAS itself - with the new
value chosen, it is good for up to 2048 CPUs each allowed to
nest over 2048 times on the read path without causing an issue.
Quite possibly it would even be sufficient to adjust the bias a
little further, assuming that allowing for significantly less
nesting would suffice.

However, as the original value chosen allowed for even more
nesting levels, to support more than 2048 CPUs (possible
currently only for 64-bit kernels) the lock itself gets widened
to 64 bits.

4625cd6379 x86: Unify rwlock assembly implementation
Rather than having two functionally identical implementations
for 32- and 64-bit configurations, extend the existing assembly
abstractions enough to fold the two rwlock implementations into
a shared one.

709972b1f6 x86, asm: Make _ASM_EXTABLE() usable from assembly code
We have had this convenient macro _ASM_EXTABLE() to generate exception
table entry in inline assembly.  Make it also usable for pure
assembly.

1965aae3c9 x86: Fix ASM_X86__ header guards
Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since:

a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless.
b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints.
