commit aaee8c3c5cce2d9107310dd9f3026b4f901d441c upstream.

Forcing in_interrupt() to return true if we're not in a bona fide
interrupt confuses the softirq code.  This fixes warnings like:

  NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 282

... which can happen when running things like selftests/x86.

This will change perf's static percpu buffer usage in IST context.
I think this is okay, and it's changing the behavior to match
historical (pre-4.0) behavior.

 "The biggest change in terms of impact is the changing of the FPU
  context switch model to 'eagerfpu' for all CPU types, via: commit
  58122bf1d856: "x86/fpu: Default eagerfpu=on on all CPUs"

  This makes all FPU saves and restores synchronous and makes the FPU
  code a lot more obvious to read.  In the next cycle, if this change is
  problem free, we'll remove the old lazy FPU restore code altogether.

  This change flushed out some old bugs, which should all be fixed by
  now, BYMMV"

Commit abd4f7505baf ("x86: i386-show-unhandled-signals-v3") did turn on
the showing-unhandled-signal behaviour for i386 for some exception handlers,
but for no reason do_trap() is left out (my naive guess is because turning it on
for do_trap() would be too noisy since do_trap() is shared by several exceptions).

And since the same commit make "show_unhandled_signals" a debug tunable(in
/proc/sys/debug/exception-trace), and x86 by default turning it on.

So it would be strange for i386 users who turing it on manually and expect
seeing the unhandled signal output in log, but nothing.

This patch turns it on for i386 in do_trap() as well.

We want all of the syscall entries to run with interrupts off so that
we can efficiently run context tracking before enabling interrupts.

This will regress int $0x80 performance on 32-bit kernels by a
couple of cycles.  This shouldn't matter much -- int $0x80 is not a
fast path.

This effectively reverts:

  657c1eea0019 ("x86/entry/32: Fix entry_INT80_32() to expect interrupts to be on")

... and fixes the same issue differently.

The first instruction of the SYSENTER entry runs on its own tiny
stack.  That stack can be used if a #DB or NMI is delivered before
the SYSENTER prologue switches to a real stack.

We have code in place to prevent us from overflowing the tiny stack.
For added paranoia, add a canary to the stack and check it in
do_debug() -- that way, if something goes wrong with the #DB logic,
we'll eventually notice.

<content type='text'>
Due to a blatant design error, SYSENTER doesn't clear TF (single-step).

As a result, if a user does SYSENTER with TF set, we will single-step
through the kernel until something clears TF.  There is absolutely
nothing we can do to prevent this short of turning off SYSENTER [1].

Simplify the handling considerably with two changes:

  1. We already sanitize EFLAGS in SYSENTER to clear NT and AC.  We can
     add TF to that list of flags to sanitize with no overhead whatsoever.

  2. Teach do_debug() to ignore single-step traps in the SYSENTER prologue.

That's all we need to do.

Don't get too excited -- our handling is still buggy on 32-bit
kernels.  There's nothing wrong with the SYSENTER code itself, but
the #DB prologue has a clever fixup for traps on the very first
instruction of entry_SYSENTER_32, and the fixup doesn't work quite
correctly.  The next two patches will fix that.

[1] We could probably prevent it by forcing BTF on at all times and
    making sure we clear TF before any branches in the SYSENTER
    code.  Needless to say, this is a bad idea.

Leaving any bits set in DR6 on return from a debug exception is
asking for trouble.  Prevent it by writing zero right away and

The SDM says that debug exceptions clear BTF, and we need to keep
TIF_BLOCKSTEP in sync with BTF.  Clear it unconditionally and improve
the comment.

I suspect that the fact that kmemcheck could cause TIF_BLOCKSTEP not
to be cleared was just an oversight.

<content type='text'>
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
