Linus pointed out that there were locations that did the hard coded
update of the parent and rip parameters. One of them was the static tracer
which could also use the ftrace_caller_setup to do that work. In fact,
because it did not use it, it is prone to bugs, and since the static
tracer is hardly ever used (who wants function tracing code always being
called?) it doesn't get tested very often. I only run a few "does it still
work" tests on it. But I do not run stress tests on that code. Although,
since it is never turned off, just having it on should be stressful enough.
(especially for the performance folks)
There's no reason that the static tracer can't also use ftrace_caller_setup.
Have it do so.

New updates to the ftrace generic code had ftrace_stub not always being
called when ftrace is off. This causes the static tracer to always save
and restore functions. But it also showed that when function tracing is
running, the function graph tracer can not. We should always check to see
if function graph tracing is running even if the function tracer is running
too. The function tracer code is not the only one that uses the hook to
function mcount.

Recover original IP register if the pre_handler doesn't change it.
Since current kprobes doesn't expect that another ftrace handler
may change regs->ip, it sets kprobe.addr + MCOUNT_INSN_SIZE to
regs->ip and returns to ftrace.
This seems wrong behavior since kprobes can recover regs->ip
and safely pass it to another handler.
This adds code which recovers original regs->ip passed from
ftrace right before returning to ftrace, so that another ftrace
user can change regs->ip.

Stack traces that happen from function tracing check if the address
on the stack is a __kernel_text_address(). That is, is the address
kernel code. This calls core_kernel_text() which returns true
if the address is part of the builtin kernel code. It also calls
is_module_text_address() which returns true if the address belongs
to module code.
But what is missing is ftrace dynamically allocated trampolines.
These trampolines are allocated for individual ftrace_ops that
call the ftrace_ops callback functions directly. But if they do a
stack trace, the code checking the stack wont detect them as they
are neither core kernel code nor module address space.
Adding another field to ftrace_ops that also stores the size of
the trampoline assigned to it we can create a new function called
is_ftrace_trampoline() that returns true if the address is a
dynamically allocate ftrace trampoline. Note, it ignores trampolines
that are not dynamically allocated as they will return true with
the core_kernel_text() function.

When CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS are enabled, it is required that the
ftrace_caller and ftrace_regs_caller trampolines set up frame pointers
otherwise a stack trace from a function call wont print the functions
that called the trampoline. This is due to a check in
__save_stack_address():
#ifdef CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER
if (!reliable)
return;
#endif
The "reliable" variable is only set if the function address is equal to
contents of the address before the address the frame pointer register
points to. If the frame pointer is not set up for the ftrace caller
then this will fail the reliable test. It will miss the function that
called the trampoline. Worse yet, if fentry is used (gcc 4.6 and
beyond), it will also miss the parent, as the fentry is called before
the stack frame is set up. That means the bp frame pointer points
to the stack of just before the parent function was called.

With the introduction of the dynamic trampolines, it is useful that if
things go wrong that ftrace_bug() produces more information about what
the current state is. This can help debug issues that may arise.
Ftrace has lots of checks to make sure that the state of the system it
touchs is exactly what it expects it to be. When it detects an abnormality
it calls ftrace_bug() and disables itself to prevent any further damage.
It is crucial that ftrace_bug() produces sufficient information that
can be used to debug the situation.

When the static ftrace_ops (like function tracer) enables tracing, and it
is the only callback that is referencing a function, a trampoline is
dynamically allocated to the function that calls the callback directly
instead of calling a loop function that iterates over all the registered
ftrace ops (if more than one ops is registered).
But when it comes to dynamically allocated ftrace_ops, where they may be
freed, on a CONFIG_PREEMPT kernel there's no way to know when it is safe
to free the trampoline. If a task was preempted while executing on the
trampoline, there's currently no way to know when it will be off that
trampoline.
But this is not true when it comes to !CONFIG_PREEMPT. The current method
of calling schedule_on_each_cpu() will force tasks off the trampoline,
becaues they can not schedule while on it (kernel preemption is not
configured). That means it is safe to free a dynamically allocated
ftrace ops trampoline when CONFIG_PREEMPT is not configured.

The current method of handling multiple function callbacks is to register
a list function callback that calls all the other callbacks based on
their hash tables and compare it to the function that the callback was
called on. But this is very inefficient.
For example, if you are tracing all functions in the kernel and then
add a kprobe to a function such that the kprobe uses ftrace, the
mcount trampoline will switch from calling the function trace callback
to calling the list callback that will iterate over all registered
ftrace_ops (in this case, the function tracer and the kprobes callback).
That means for every function being traced it checks the hash of the
ftrace_ops for function tracing and kprobes, even though the kprobes
is only set at a single function. The kprobes ftrace_ops is checked
for every function being traced!
Instead of calling the list function for functions that are only being
traced by a single callback, we can call a dynamically allocated
trampoline that calls the callback directly. The function graph tracer
already uses a direct call trampoline when it is being traced by itself
but it is not dynamically allocated. It's trampoline is static in the
kernel core. The infrastructure that called the function graph trampoline
can also be used to call a dynamically allocated one.
For now, only ftrace_ops that are not dynamically allocated can have
a trampoline. That is, users such as function tracer or stack tracer.
kprobes and perf allocate their ftrace_ops, and until there's a safe
way to free the trampoline, it can not be used. The dynamically allocated
ftrace_ops may, although, use the trampoline if the kernel is not
compiled with CONFIG_PREEMPT. But that will come later.

Pull audit updates from Eric Paris:
"So this change across a whole bunch of arches really solves one basic
problem. We want to audit when seccomp is killing a process. seccomp
hooks in before the audit syscall entry code. audit_syscall_entry
took as an argument the arch of the given syscall. Since the arch is
part of what makes a syscall number meaningful it's an important part
of the record, but it isn't available when seccomp shoots the
syscall...
For most arch's we have a better way to get the arch (syscall_get_arch)
So the solution was two fold: Implement syscall_get_arch() everywhere
there is audit which didn't have it. Use syscall_get_arch() in the
seccomp audit code. Having syscall_get_arch() everywhere meant it was
a useless flag on the stack and we could get rid of it for the typical
syscall entry.
The other changes inside the audit system aren't grand, fixed some
records that had invalid spaces. Better locking around the task comm
field. Removing some dead functions and structs. Make some things
static. Really minor stuff"

CR4 isn't constant; at least the TSD and PCE bits can vary.
TBH, treating CR0 and CR3 as constant scares me a bit, too, but it looks
like it's correct.
This adds a branch and a read from cr4 to each vm entry. Because it is
extremely likely that consecutive entries into the same vcpu will have
the same host cr4 value, this fixes up the vmcs instead of restoring cr4
after the fact. A subsequent patch will add a kernel-wide cr4 shadow,
reducing the overhead in the common case to just two memory reads and a
branch.

Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo:
"Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately
and had their own accessors. The distinction has been gone for many
years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained
with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
operations over time. During the process, we also accumulated other
inconsistent operations.
This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the
duplicate accessor situation. __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with
with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr().
Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit
messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to
a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of
this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().
This converts most of the uses but not all. Christoph will follow up
with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully
remove the obsolete accessors"

1.
JIT compiler using multi-pass approach to converge to final image size,
since x86 instructions are variable length. It starts with large
gaps between instructions (so some jumps may use imm32 instead of imm8)
and iterates until total program size is the same as in previous pass.
This algorithm works only if program size is strictly decreasing.
Programs that use LD_ABS insn need additional code in prologue, but it
was not emitted during 1st pass, so there was a chance that 2nd pass would
adjust imm32->imm8 jump offsets to the same number of bytes as increase in
prologue, which may cause algorithm to erroneously decide that size converged.
Fix it by always emitting largest prologue in the first pass which
is detected by oldproglen==0 check.
Also change error check condition 'proglen != oldproglen' to fail gracefully.
2.
while staring at the code realized that 64-byte buffer may not be enough
when 1st insn is large, so increase it to 128 to avoid buffer overflow
(theoretical maximum size of prologue+div is 109) and add runtime check.

If all the nodes are marked hotpluggable, alloc node data will fail.
Because __next_mem_range_rev() will skip the hotpluggable memory
regions. numa_clear_kernel_node_hotplug() is called after alloc node
data.
numa_init()
...
ret = init_func(); // this will mark hotpluggable flag from SRAT
...
memblock_set_bottom_up(false);
...
ret = numa_register_memblks(&numa_meminfo); // this will alloc node data(pglist_data)
...
numa_clear_kernel_node_hotplug(); // in case all the nodes are hotpluggable
...

setup_node_data()
memblock_find_in_range_node()
__memblock_find_range_top_down()
for_each_mem_range_rev()
__next_mem_range_rev()
This patch moves numa_clear_kernel_node_hotplug() into
numa_register_memblks(), clear kernel node hotpluggable flag before
alloc node data, then alloc node data won't fail even all the nodes
are hotpluggable.

Otherwise, the ioremap operation continues.

Add a check if crashk_res_low exists just like GART region does. If
crashk_res_low doesn't exist, calling exclude_mem_range is unnecessary.
Meanwhile, since crashk_res_low has been initialized at definition, it's
safe just use "if (crashk_low_res.end)" to check if it's exist. And this
can make it consistent with other places of check.

Pull percpu updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot of activities on percpu front. Notable changes are...
- percpu allocator now can take @gfp. If @gfp doesn't contain
GFP_KERNEL, it tries to allocate from what's already available to
the allocator and a work item tries to keep the reserve around
certain level so that these atomic allocations usually succeed.
This will replace the ad-hoc percpu memory pool used by
blk-throttle and also be used by the planned blkcg support for
writeback IOs.
Please note that I noticed a bug in how @gfp is interpreted while
preparing this pull request and applied the fix 6ae833c7fe
("percpu: fix how @gfp is interpreted by the percpu allocator")
just now.
- percpu_ref now uses longs for percpu and global counters instead of
ints. It leads to more sparse packing of the percpu counters on
64bit machines but the overhead should be negligible and this
allows using percpu_ref for refcnting pages and in-memory objects
directly.
- The switching between percpu and single counter modes of a
percpu_ref is made independent of putting the base ref and a
percpu_ref can now optionally be initialized in single or killed
mode. This allows avoiding percpu shutdown latency for cases where
the refcounted objects may be synchronously created and destroyed
in rapid succession with only a fraction of them reaching fully
operational status (SCSI probing does this when combined with
blk-mq support). It's also planned to be used to implement forced
single mode to detect underflow more timely for debugging.
There's a separate branch percpu/for-3.18-consistent-ops which cleans
up the duplicate percpu accessors. That branch causes a number of
conflicts with s390 and other trees. I'll send a separate pull
request w/ resolutions once other branches are merged"
