The generic strncpy_from_user() is not really optimal, since it is
designed to work on both little-endian and big-endian. And on
little-endian you can simplify much of the logic to find the first zero
byte, since little-endian arithmetic doesn't have to worry about the
carry bit propagating into earlier bytes (only later bytes, which we
don't care about).
But I have patches to make the generic routines use the architecture-
specific <asm/word-at-a-time.h> infrastructure, so that we can regain
the little-endian optimizations. But before we do that, switch over to
the generic routines to make the patches each do just one well-defined
thing.

Pull CMA and ARM DMA-mapping updates from Marek Szyprowski:
"These patches contain two major updates for DMA mapping subsystem
(mainly for ARM architecture). First one is Contiguous Memory
Allocator (CMA) which makes it possible for device drivers to allocate
big contiguous chunks of memory after the system has booted.
The main difference from the similar frameworks is the fact that CMA
allows to transparently reuse the memory region reserved for the big
chunk allocation as a system memory, so no memory is wasted when no
big chunk is allocated. Once the alloc request is issued, the
framework migrates system pages to create space for the required big
chunk of physically contiguous memory.
For more information one can refer to nice LWN articles:
- 'A reworked contiguous memory allocator':
http://lwn.net/Articles/447405/
- 'CMA and ARM':
http://lwn.net/Articles/450286/
- 'A deep dive into CMA':
http://lwn.net/Articles/486301/
- and the following thread with the patches and links to all previous
versions:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/3/204
The main client for this new framework is ARM DMA-mapping subsystem.
The second part provides a complete redesign in ARM DMA-mapping
subsystem. The core implementation has been changed to use common
struct dma_map_ops based infrastructure with the recent updates for
new dma attributes merged in v3.4-rc2. This allows to use more than
one implementation of dma-mapping calls and change/select them on the
struct device basis. The first client of this new infractructure is
dmabounce implementation which has been completely cut out of the
core, common code.
The last patch of this redesign update introduces a new, experimental
implementation of dma-mapping calls on top of generic IOMMU framework.
This lets ARM sub-platform to transparently use IOMMU for DMA-mapping
calls if one provides required IOMMU hardware.
For more information please refer to the following thread:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg175729.html
The last patch merges changes from both updates and provides a
resolution for the conflicts which cannot be avoided when patches have
been applied on the same files (mainly arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c)."

Pull user-space probe instrumentation from Ingo Molnar:
"The uprobes code originates from SystemTap and has been used for years
in Fedora and RHEL kernels. This version is much rewritten, reviews
from PeterZ, Oleg and myself shaped the end result.
This tree includes uprobes support in 'perf probe' - but SystemTap
(and other tools) can take advantage of user probe points as well.
Sample usage of uprobes via perf, for example to profile malloc()
calls without modifying user-space binaries.
First boot a new kernel with CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENT=y enabled.
If you don't know which function you want to probe you can pick one
from 'perf top' or can get a list all functions that can be probed
within libc (binaries can be specified as well):
$ perf probe -F -x /lib/libc.so.6
To probe libc's malloc():
$ perf probe -x /lib64/libc.so.6 malloc
Added new event:
probe_libc:malloc (on 0x7eac0)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -aR sleep 1
Make use of it to create a call graph (as the flat profile is going to
look very boring):
$ perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -gR make

The core uprobes design is fairly straightforward: uprobes probe
points register themselves at (inode:offset) addresses of
libraries/binaries, after which all existing (or new) vmas that map
that address will have a software breakpoint injected at that address.
vmas are COW-ed to preserve original content. The probe points are
kept in an rbtree.
If user-space executes the probed inode:offset instruction address
then an event is generated which can be recovered from the regular
perf event channels and mmap-ed ring-buffer.
Multiple probes at the same address are supported, they create a
dynamic callback list of event consumers.
The basic model is further complicated by the XOL speedup: the
original instruction that is probed is copied (in an architecture
specific fashion) and executed out of line when the probe triggers.
The XOL area is a single vma per process, with a fixed number of
entries (which limits probe execution parallelism).
The API: uprobes are installed/removed via
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events, the API is integrated to
align with the kprobes interface as much as possible, but is separate
to it.
Injecting a probe point is privileged operation, which can be relaxed
by setting perf_paranoid to -1.
You can use multiple probes as well and mix them with kprobes and
regular PMU events or tracepoints, when instrumenting a task."

Pull the MCA deletion branch from Paul Gortmaker:
"It was good that we could support MCA machines back in the day, but
realistically, nobody is using them anymore. They were mostly limited
to 386-sx 16MHz CPU and some 486 class machines and never more than
64MB of RAM. Even the enthusiast hobbyist community seems to have
dried up close to ten years ago, based on what you can find searching
various websites dedicated to the relatively short lived hardware.
So lets remove the support relating to CONFIG_MCA. There is no point
carrying this forward, wasting cycles doing routine maintenance on it;
wasting allyesconfig build time on validating it, wasting I/O on git
grep'ping over it, and so on."
Let's see if anybody screams. It generally has compiled, and James
Bottomley pointed out that there was a MCA extension from NCR that
allowed for up to 4GB of memory and PPro-class machines. So in *theory*
there may be users out there.
But even James (technically listed as a maintainer) doesn't actually
have a system, and while Alan Cox claims to have a machine in his cellar
that he offered to anybody who wants to take it off his hands, he didn't
argue for keeping MCA support either.
So we could bring it back. But somebody had better speak up and talk
about how they have actually been using said MCA hardware with modern
kernels for us to do that. And David already took the patch to delete
all the networking driver code (commit a5e371f61ad3: "drivers/net:
delete all code/drivers depending on CONFIG_MCA").

Pull exception table generation updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The biggest change here is to allow the build-time sorting of the
exception table, to speed up booting. This is achieved by the
architecture enabling BUILDTIME_EXTABLE_SORT. This option is enabled
for x86 and MIPS currently.
On x86 a number of fixes and changes were needed to allow build-time
sorting of the exception table, in particular a relocation invariant
exception table format was needed. This required the abstracting out
of exception table protocol and the removal of 20 years of accumulated
assumptions about the x86 exception table format.
While at it, this tree also cleans up various other aspects of
exception handling, such as early(er) exception handling for
rdmsr_safe() et al.
All in one, as the result of these changes the x86 exception code is
now pretty nice and modern. As an added bonus any regressions in this
code will be early and violent crashes, so if you see any of those,
you'll know whom to blame!"

Sigh, I missed to check which architecture Kconfig files actually
include the core Kconfig file. There are a few which did not. So we
broke them.
Instead of adding the includes to those, we are better off to move the
include to init/Kconfig like we did already with irqs and others.
This does not change anything for the architectures using the old
style periodic timer mode. It just solves the build wreckage there.
For those architectures which use the clock events infrastructure it
moves the include of the core Kconfig file to "General setup" which is
a way more logical place than having it at random locations specified
by the architecture specific Kconfigs.

Hardware with MCA bus is limited to 386 and 486 class machines
that are now 20+ years old and typically with less than 32MB
of memory. A quick search on the internet, and you see that
even the MCA hobbyist/enthusiast community has lost interest
in the early 2000 era and never really even moved ahead from
the 2.4 kernels to the 2.6 series.
This deletes anything remaining related to CONFIG_MCA from core
kernel code and from the x86 architecture. There is no point in
carrying this any further into the future.
One complication to watch for is inadvertently scooping up
stuff relating to machine check, since there is overlap in
the TLA name space (e.g. arch/x86/boot/mca.c).

It turns out that there are more cases than CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC that
can have holes in the kernel address space: it seems to happen easily
with Xen, and it looks like the AMD gart64 code will also punch holes
dynamically.
Actually hitting that case is still very unlikely, so just do the
access, and take an exception and fix it up for the very unlikely case
of it being a page-crosser with no next page.
And hey, this abstraction might even help other architectures that have

As ftrace function tracing would require modifying code that could
be executed in NMI context, which is not stopped with stop_machine(),
ftrace had to do a complex algorithm with various stages of setup
and memory barriers to make it work.
With the new breakpoint method, this is no longer required. The changes
to the code can be done without any problem in NMI context, as well as
without stop machine altogether. Remove the complex code as it is
no longer needed.
Also, a lot of the notrace annotations could be removed from the
NMI code as it is now safe to trace them. With the exception of
do_nmi itself, which does some special work to handle running in
the debug stack. The breakpoint method can cause NMIs to double
nest the debug stack if it's not setup properly, and that is done
in do_nmi(), thus that function must not be traced.
(Note the arch sh may want to do the same)

x86 unconditionally uses NO_BOOTMEM so there is no use
of the HAVE_ARCH_BOOTMEM support as mm/bootmem.c is the
only file referencing this symbol.
bootmem_arch_preferred_node() is the function referred
in the mm/bootmem.c code and can thuis be dropped too.
x86 was the sole user of HAVE_ARCH_BOOTMEM - so there is
an opportunity to clean up a little in mm/bootmem.c too
if we do not expect other users to emerge.

Enable support for seccomp filter on x86:
- syscall_get_arch()
- syscall_get_arguments()
- syscall_rollback()
- syscall_set_return_value()
- SIGSYS siginfo_t support
- secure_computing is called from a ptrace_event()-safe context
- secure_computing return value is checked (see below).
SECCOMP_RET_TRACE and SECCOMP_RET_TRAP may result in seccomp needing to
skip a system call without killing the process. This is done by
returning a non-zero (-1) value from secure_computing. This change
makes x86 respect that return value.
To ensure that minimal kernel code is exposed, a non-zero return value
results in an immediate return to user space (with an invalid syscall
number).

The "ConneXt" sta2x11 I/O Hub is a bridge from PCIe to AMBA, and is
used as main chipset in some Atom boards. The set of peripherals it
exports live in an AMBA bus internal to the chip, so a custom
remapping of addresses is needed. This is implemented by fixup calls
for the PCI deivices, based on CONFIG_X86_DEV_DMA_OPS and
CONFIG_X86_DMA_REMAP .

Pull irq_domain support for all architectures from Grant Likely:
"Generialize powerpc's irq_host as irq_domain
This branch takes the PowerPC irq_host infrastructure (reverse mapping
from Linux IRQ numbers to hardware irq numbering), generalizes it,
renames it to irq_domain, and makes it available to all architectures.
Originally the plan has been to create an all-new irq_domain
implementation which addresses some of the powerpc shortcomings such
as not handling 1:1 mappings well, but doing that proved to be far
more difficult and invasive than generalizing the working code and
refactoring it in-place. So, this branch rips out the 'new'
irq_domain and replaces it with the modified powerpc version (in a
fully bisectable way of course). It converts all users over to the
new API and makes irq_domain selectable on any architecture.
No architecture is forced to enable irq_domain, but the infrastructure
is required for doing OpenFirmware style irq translations. It will
even work on SPARC even though SPARC has it's own mechanism for
translating irqs at boot time. MIPS, microblaze, embedded x86 and c6x
are converted too.
The resulting irq_domain code is probably still too verbose and can be
optimized more, but that can be done incrementally and is a task for
follow-on patches."

When using the "compat" APIs, architectures will generally want to
be able to make direct syscalls to msgsnd(), shmctl(), etc., and
in the kernel we would want them to be handled directly by
compat_sys_xxx() functions, as is true for other compat syscalls.
However, for historical reasons, several of the existing compat IPC
syscalls do not do this. semctl() expects a pointer to the fourth
argument, instead of the fourth argument itself. msgsnd(), msgrcv()
and shmat() expect arguments in different order.
This change adds an ARCH_WANT_OLD_COMPAT_IPC config option that can be
set to preserve this behavior for ports that use it (x86, sparc, powerpc,
s390, and mips). No actual semantics are changed for those architectures,
and there is only a minimal amount of code refactoring in ipc/compat.c.
Newer architectures like tile (and perhaps future architectures such
as arm64 and unicore64) should not select this option, and thus can
avoid having any IPC-specific code at all in their architecture-specific
compat layer. In the same vein, if this option is not selected, IPC_64
mode is assumed, since that's what the <asm-generic> headers expect.
The workaround code in "tile" for msgsnd() and msgrcv() is removed
with this change; it also fixes the bug that shmat() and semctl() were
not being properly handled.

Add uprobes support to the core kernel, with x86 support.
This commit adds the kernel facilities, the actual uprobes
user-space ABI and perf probe support comes in later commits.
General design:
Uprobes are maintained in an rb-tree indexed by inode and offset
(the offset here is from the start of the mapping). For a unique
(inode, offset) tuple, there can be at most one uprobe in the
rb-tree.
Since the (inode, offset) tuple identifies a unique uprobe, more
than one user may be interested in the same uprobe. This provides
the ability to connect multiple 'consumers' to the same uprobe.
Each consumer defines a handler and a filter (optional). The
'handler' is run every time the uprobe is hit, if it matches the
'filter' criteria.
The first consumer of a uprobe causes the breakpoint to be
inserted at the specified address and subsequent consumers are
appended to this list. On subsequent probes, the consumer gets
appended to the existing list of consumers. The breakpoint is
removed when the last consumer unregisters. For all other
unregisterations, the consumer is removed from the list of
consumers.
Given a inode, we get a list of the mms that have mapped the
inode. Do the actual registration if mm maps the page where a
probe needs to be inserted/removed.
We use a temporary list to walk through the vmas that map the
inode.
- The number of maps that map the inode, is not known before we
walk the rmap and keeps changing.
- extending vm_area_struct wasn't recommended, it's a
size-critical data structure.
- There can be more than one maps of the inode in the same mm.
We add callbacks to the mmap methods to keep an eye on text vmas
that are of interest to uprobes. When a vma of interest is mapped,
we insert the breakpoint at the right address.
Uprobe works by replacing the instruction at the address defined
by (inode, offset) with the arch specific breakpoint
instruction. We save a copy of the original instruction at the
uprobed address.
This is needed for:
a. executing the instruction out-of-line (xol).
b. instruction analysis for any subsequent fixups.
c. restoring the instruction back when the uprobe is unregistered.
We insert or delete a breakpoint instruction, and this
breakpoint instruction is assumed to be the smallest instruction
available on the platform. For fixed size instruction platforms
this is trivially true, for variable size instruction platforms
the breakpoint instruction is typically the smallest (often a
single byte).
Writing the instruction is done by COWing the page and changing
the instruction during the copy, this even though most platforms
allow atomic writes of the breakpoint instruction. This also
mirrors the behaviour of a ptrace() memory write to a PRIVATE
file map.
The core worker is derived from KSM's replace_page() logic.
In essence, similar to KSM:
a. allocate a new page and copy over contents of the page that
has the uprobed vaddr
b. modify the copy and insert the breakpoint at the required
address
c. switch the original page with the copy containing the
breakpoint
d. flush page tables.
replace_page() is being replicated here because of some minor
changes in the type of pages and also because Hugh Dickins had
plans to improve replace_page() for KSM specific work.
Instruction analysis on x86 is based on instruction decoder and
determines if an instruction can be probed and determines the
necessary fixups after singlestep. Instruction analysis is done
at probe insertion time so that we avoid having to repeat the
same analysis every time a probe is hit.
A lot of code here is due to the improvement/suggestions/inputs
from Peter Zijlstra.
Changelog:
(v10):
- Add code to clear REX.B prefix as suggested by Denys Vlasenko
and Masami Hiramatsu.
(v9):
- Use insn_offset_modrm as suggested by Masami Hiramatsu.
(v7):
Handle comments from Peter Zijlstra:
- Dont take reference to inode. (expect inode to uprobe_register to be sane).
- Use PTR_ERR to set the return value.
- No need to take reference to inode.
- use PTR_ERR to return error value.
- register and uprobe_unregister share code.
(v5):
- Modified del_consumer as per comments from Peter.
- Drop reference to inode before dropping reference to uprobe.
- Use i_size_read(inode) instead of inode->i_size.
- Ensure uprobe->consumers is NULL, before __uprobe_unregister() is called.
- Includes errno.h as recommended by Stephen Rothwell to fix a build issue
on sparc defconfig
- Remove restrictions while unregistering.
- Earlier code leaked inode references under some conditions while
registering/unregistering.
- Continue the vma-rmap walk even if the intermediate vma doesnt
meet the requirements.
- Validate the vma found by find_vma before inserting/removing the
