arm has an optional MULTI_IRQ_HANDLER, which arm64 copied but didn't make
optional. The multi irq handler infrastructure has been copied to generic
code selectable with a new config symbol. That symbol can be selected by
randconfig builds and can cause build breakage.
Introduce CONFIG_MULTI_IRQ_HANDLER as an intermediate step which prevents
the core config symbol from being selected. The arm64 local config symbol
will be removed once arm64 gets converted to the generic code.

These config switches enable the same code in the core and the not yet
converted architecture code. They can be selected both by randconfig builds
and cause linker error because the same symbols are defined twice.
Make the new GENERIC_IRQ_MULTI_HANDLER depend on !MULTI_IRQ_HANDLER to
prevent that. The dependency will be removed once all architectures are
converted over.

The device tree code looks for CONFIG_CMDLINE_FORCE, but we were using
CONFIG_CMDLINE_OVERRIDE. It looks like this was just a hold over from
before our device tree conversion -- in fact, we'd already removed the
support for CONFIG_CMDLINE_OVERRIDE from our arch-specific code so it
didn't even work any more.
Thanks to Mortiz and Trung for finding the original bug, and for Michael
for suggeting a better fix.

Commit 2a98dc028f91 ("include/linux/bitmap.h: turn bitmap_set and
bitmap_clear into memset when possible") introduced an optimization to
bitmap_{set,clear}() which uses memset() when the start and length are
constants aligned to a byte.
This is wrong on big-endian systems; our bitmaps are arrays of unsigned
long, so bit n is not at byte n / 8 in memory. This was caught by the
Btrfs selftests, but the bitmap selftests also fail when run on a
big-endian machine.
We can still use memset if the start and length are aligned to an
unsigned long, so do that on big-endian. The same problem applies to
the memcmp in bitmap_equal(), so fix it there, too.
Fixes: 2a98dc028f91 ("include/linux/bitmap.h: turn bitmap_set and bitmap_clear into memset when possible")
Fixes: 2c6deb01525a ("bitmap: use memcmp optimisation in more situations")

For CALL_PLT, emit the plt entry only when offset is more than 32-bit.
For PCREL_LO12, it uses the location of corresponding HI20 to
get the address of external symbol. It should check the HI20 type
is the PCREL_HI20 or GOT_HI20, because sometime the location will
have two or more relocation types.
For example:
0: 00000797 auipc a5,0x0

Atomics present the same issue with locking: release and acquire
variants need to be strengthened to meet the constraints defined
by the Linux-kernel memory consistency model [1].
Atomics present a further issue: implementations of atomics such
as atomic_cmpxchg() and atomic_add_unless() rely on LR/SC pairs,
which do not give full-ordering with .aqrl; for example, current
implementations allow the "lr-sc-aqrl-pair-vs-full-barrier" test
below to end up with the state indicated in the "exists" clause.
In order to "synchronize" LKMM and RISC-V's implementation, this
commit strengthens the implementations of the atomics operations
by replacing .rl and .aq with the use of ("lightweigth") fences,
and by replacing .aqrl LR/SC pairs in sequences such as:
0: lr.w.aqrl %0, %addr
bne %0, %old, 1f
...
sc.w.aqrl %1, %new, %addr
bnez %1, 0b
1:
with sequences of the form:
0: lr.w %0, %addr
bne %0, %old, 1f
...
sc.w.rl %1, %new, %addr /* SC-release */
bnez %1, 0b
fence rw, rw /* "full" fence */
1:
following Daniel's suggestion.
These modifications were validated with simulation of the RISC-V
memory consistency model.

Current implementations map locking operations using .rl and .aq
annotations. However, this mapping is unsound w.r.t. the kernel
memory consistency model (LKMM) [1]:
Referring to the "unlock-lock-read-ordering" test reported below,
Daniel wrote:
"I think an RCpc interpretation of .aq and .rl would in fact
allow the two normal loads in P1 to be reordered [...]
The intuition would be that the amoswap.w.aq can forward from
the amoswap.w.rl while that's still in the store buffer, and
then the lw x3,0(x4) can also perform while the amoswap.w.rl
is still in the store buffer, all before the l1 x1,0(x2)
executes. That's not forbidden unless the amoswaps are RCsc,
unless I'm missing something.
Likewise even if the unlock()/lock() is between two stores.
A control dependency might originate from the load part of
the amoswap.w.aq, but there still would have to be something
to ensure that this load part in fact performs after the store
part of the amoswap.w.rl performs globally, and that's not
automatic under RCpc."
Simulation of the RISC-V memory consistency model confirmed this
expectation.
In order to "synchronize" LKMM and RISC-V's implementation, this
commit strengthens the implementations of the locking operations
by replacing .rl and .aq with the use of ("lightweigth") fences,
resp., "fence rw, w" and "fence r , rw".

In walk_stackframe, the pc now receives the address from calling
ftrace_graph_ret_addr instead of manual calculation.
Note that the original calculation,
pc = frame->ra - 4
is buggy when the instruction at the return address happened to be a
compressed inst. But since it is not a critical part of ftrace, it is
ignored for now to ease the review process.

Once the function_graph tracer is enabled, a filtered function has the
following call sequence:
* ftracer_caller ==> on/off by ftrace_make_call/ftrace_make_nop
* ftrace_graph_caller
* ftrace_graph_call ==> on/off by ftrace_en/disable_ftrace_graph_caller
* prepare_ftrace_return
Considering the following DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS feature, it would be
more extendable to have a ftrace_graph_caller function, instead of
calling prepare_ftrace_return directly in ftrace_caller.

We now have dynamic ftrace with the following added items:
* ftrace_make_call, ftrace_make_nop (in kernel/ftrace.c)
The two functions turn each recorded call site of filtered functions
into a call to ftrace_caller or nops
* ftracce_update_ftrace_func (in kernel/ftrace.c)
turns the nops at ftrace_call into a call to a generic entry for
function tracers.
* ftrace_caller (in kernel/mcount-dyn.S)
The entry where each _mcount call sites calls to once they are
filtered to be traced.
Also, this patch fixes the semantic problems in mcount.S, which will be
treated as only a reference implementation once we have the dynamic
ftrace.

Error injection is a useful mechanism to fail arbitrary kernel
functions. However, it is often hard to guarantee an error propagates
appropriately to user space programs. By injecting into syscalls, we can
return arbitrary values to user space directly; this increases
flexibility and robustness in testing, allowing us to test user space
error paths effectively.
The following script, for example, fails calls to sys_open() from a
given pid:
from bcc import BPF
from sys import argv
pid = argv[1]
prog = r"""
int kprobe__SyS_open(struct pt_regs *ctx, const char *pathname, int flags)
{
u32 pid = bpf_get_current_pid_tgid();
if (pid == %s)
bpf_override_return(ctx, -ENOMEM);
return 0;
}
""" % pid
b = BPF(text=prog)
while 1:
b.perf_buffer_poll()
This patch whitelists all syscalls defined with SYSCALL_DEFINE and
COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE for error injection. These changes are not
intended to be considered stable, and would normally be configured off.

compat_sys_*() functions are no longer called from within the kernel on
x86 except from the system call table. Linking the system call does not
require compat_sys_*() function prototypes at least on x86. Therefore,
generate compat_sys_*() prototypes on-the-fly within the
COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro, and remove x86-specific prototypes from
various header files.
