Here it is not obvious why we load pt_regs->cx to %esi etc.
Lets improve comments.
Explain that here we combine two things: first, we reload
registers since some of them are clobbered by the C function we
just called; and we also convert 32-bit syscall params to 64-bit
C ABI, because we are going to jump back to syscall dispatch
code.
Move reloading of 6th argument into the macro instead of having
it after each of two macro invocations.
No actual code changes here.

I put %ebp restoration code too late. Under strace, it is not
reached and %ebp is not restored upon return to userspace.
This is the fix. Run-tested.

Brian Gerst noticed that I did a weird rename in the following commit:
b2502b418e63 ("x86/asm/entry: Untangle 'system_call' into two entry points: entry_SYSCALL_64 and entry_INT80_32")
which renamed __NR_ia32_syscall_max to __NR_entry_INT80_compat_max.
Now the original name was a misnomer, but the new one is a misnomer as well,
as all the 32-bit compat syscall entry points (sysenter, syscall) share the
system call table, not just the INT80 based one.
Rename it to __NR_syscall_compat_max.

I broke this recently when I changed pt_regs->r8..r11 clearing
logic in INT 80 code path.
There is a branch from SYSENTER/SYSCALL code to INT 80 code:
if we fail to retrieve arg6, we return EFAULT. Before this
patch, in this case we don't clear pt_regs->r8..r11.
This patch fixes this. The resulting code is smaller and
simpler.
While at it, remove incorrect comment about syscall dispatching
CALL insn: it does not use RIP-relative addressing form (the
comment was meant to be "TODO: make this rip-relative", and
morphed since then, dropping "TODO").

Make the 64-bit syscall entry code a bit more readable:
- use consistent assembly coding style similar to the other entry_*.S files
- remove old comments that are not true anymore
- eliminate whitespace noise
- use consistent vertical spacing
- fix various comments
- reorganize entry point generation tables to be more readable

The 'system_call' entry points differ starkly between native 32-bit and 64-bit
kernels: on 32-bit kernels it defines the INT 0x80 entry point, while on
64-bit it's the SYSCALL entry point.
This is pretty confusing when looking at generic code, and it also obscures
the nature of the entry point at the assembly level.
So unangle this by splitting the name into its two uses:
system_call (32) -> entry_INT80_32
system_call (64) -> entry_SYSCALL_64
As per the generic naming scheme for x86 system call entry points:
entry_MNEMONIC_qualifier
where 'qualifier' is one of _32, _64 or _compat.

So the SYSENTER instruction is pretty quirky and it has different behavior
depending on bitness and CPU maker.
Yet we create a false sense of coherency by naming it 'ia32_sysenter_target'
in both of the cases.
Split the name into its two uses:
ia32_sysenter_target (32) -> entry_SYSENTER_32
ia32_sysenter_target (64) -> entry_SYSENTER_compat

This header containing all MSRs and respective bit definitions
got exported to userspace in conjunction with the big UAPI
shuffle.
But, it doesn't belong in the UAPI headers because userspace can
do its own MSR defines and exporting them from the kernel blocks
us from doing cleanups/renames in that header. Which is
ridiculous - it is not kernel's job to export such a header and
keep MSRs list and their names stable.

In talking to Aravind recently about making certain AMD topology
attributes available to the MCE injection module, it seemed like
that CONFIG_X86_HT thing is more or less superfluous. It is
def_bool y, depends on SMP and gets enabled in the majority of
.configs - distro and otherwise - out there.
So let's kill it and make code behind it depend directly on SMP.

Add the necessary changes to do_machine_check() to be able to
process MCEs signaled as local MCEs. Typically, only recoverable
errors (SRAR type) will be Signaled as LMCE. The architecture
does not restrict to only those errors, however.
When errors are signaled as LMCE, there is no need for the MCE
handler to perform rendezvous with other logical processors
unlike earlier processors that would broadcast machine check
errors.

Add required definitions to support Local Machine Check
Exceptions.
Historically, machine check exceptions on Intel x86 processors
have been broadcast to all logical processors in the system.
Upcoming CPUs will support an opt-in mechanism to request some
machine check exceptions be delivered to a single logical
processor experiencing the fault.
See http://www.intel.com/sdm Volume 3, System Programming Guide,
chapter 15 for more information on MSRs and documentation on
Local MCE.

Really swap arguments #4 and #5 in stub32_clone instead of
"optimizing" it into a move.
Yes, tls_val is currently unused. Yes, on some CPUs XCHG is a
little bit more expensive than MOV. But a cycle or two on an
expensive syscall like clone() is way below noise floor, and
this optimization is simply not worth the obfuscation of logic.
[ There's also ongoing work on the clone() ABI by Josh Triplett
that will depend on this change later on. ]

SYSENTER and SYSCALL 32-bit entry points differ in handling of
arg2 and arg6.
SYSENTER:
* ecx arg2
* ebp user stack
* 0(%ebp) arg6
SYSCALL:
* ebp arg2
* esp user stack
* 0(%esp) arg6
Sysenter code loads 0(%ebp) to %ebp right away.
(This destroys %ebp. It means we do not preserve it on return.
It's not causing problems since userspace VDSO code does not
depend on it, and SYSENTER insn can't be sanely used outside of
VDSO).
Syscall code loads 0(%ebp) to %r9. This allows to eliminate one
MOV insn (r9 is a register where arg6 should be for 64-bit ABI),
but on audit/ptrace code paths this requires juggling of r9 and
ebp: (1) ptrace expects arg6 to be in pt_regs->bp;
(2) r9 is callee-clobbered register and needs to be
saved/restored around calls to C functions.
This patch changes syscall code to load 0(%ebp) to %ebp, making
it more similar to sysenter code. It's a bit smaller:
text data bss dec hex filename
1407 0 0 1407 57f ia32entry.o.before
1391 0 0 1391 56f ia32entry.o
To preserve ABI compat, we restore ebp on exit.
Run-tested.

32-bit syscall entry points do not save the complete pt_regs struct,
they leave some fields uninitialized. However, they must be
careful to not leak uninitialized data in pt_regs->r8..r11 to
ptrace users.
CLEAR_RREGS macro is used to zero these fields out when needed.
However, in the int80 code path this zeroing is unconditional.
This patch simplifies it by storing zeroes there right away,
when pt_regs is constructed on stack.
This uses shorter instructions:
text data bss dec hex filename
1423 0 0 1423 58f ia32entry.o.before
1407 0 0 1407 57f ia32entry.o

The wrmsrl_safe macro performs invalid shifts if the value
argument is 32 bits. This makes it unnecessarily awkward to
write code that puts an unsigned long into an MSR.
Convert it to a real inline function.

These are all calling x86 entry code functions, so move them close
to other entry code.
Change lib-y to obj-y: there's no real difference between the two
as we don't really drop any of them during the linking stage, and
obj-y is the more common approach for core kernel object code.

Peter Zijstra noticed that in arch/x86/Kconfig there are a lot
of X86_{32,64} clauses in the X86 symbol, plus there are a number
of similar selects in the X86_32 and X86_64 config definitions
as well - which all overlap in an inconsistent mess.
So:
- move all select's from X86_32 and X86_64 to the X64 config
option
- sort their names, so that duplications are easier to spot
- align their if clauses, so that they are easier to identify
at a glance - and so that weirdnesses stand out more

So the dwarf2 annotations in low level assembly code have
become an increasing hindrance: unreadable, messy macros
mixed into some of the most security sensitive code paths
of the Linux kernel.
These debug info annotations don't even buy the upstream
kernel anything: dwarf driven stack unwinding has caused
problems in the past so it's out of tree, and the upstream
kernel only uses the much more robust framepointers based
stack unwinding method.
In addition to that there's a steady, slow bitrot going
on with these annotations, requiring frequent fixups.
There's no tooling and no functionality upstream that
keeps it correct.
So burn down the sick forest, allowing new, healthier growth:
27 files changed, 350 insertions(+), 1101 deletions(-)
Someone who has the willingness and time to do this
properly can attempt to reintroduce dwarf debuginfo in x86
assembly code plus dwarf unwinding from first principles,
with the following conditions:
- it should be maximally readable, and maximally low-key to
'ordinary' code reading and maintenance.
- find a build time method to insert dwarf annotations
automatically in the most common cases, for pop/push
instructions that manipulate the stack pointer. This could
be done for example via a preprocessing step that just
looks for common patterns - plus special annotations for
the few cases where we want to depart from the default.
We have hundreds of CFI annotations, so automating most of
that makes sense.
- it should come with build tooling checks that ensure that
CFI annotations are sensible. We've seen such efforts from
the framepointer side, and there's no reason it couldn't be
done on the dwarf side.

bnx2x locking around statistics state into using a mutex - but the lock
is being accessed via a timer which is forbidden.
[If compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES, logs show a warning about
accessing the mutex in interrupt context]
This moves the implementation into using a semaphore [with size '1']

When we come to tear things down in netback_remove() and generate the
uevent it is possible that the xenstore directory has already been
removed (details below).
In such cases netback_uevent() won't be able to read the hotplug
script and will write a xenstore error node.
A recent change to the hypervisor exposed this race such that we now
sometimes lose it (where apparently we didn't ever before).
Instead read the hotplug script configuration during setup and use it
for the lifetime of the backend device.
The apparently more obvious fix of moving the transition to
state=Closed in netback_remove() to after the uevent does not work
because it is possible that we are already in state=Closed (in
reaction to the guest having disconnected as it shutdown). Being
already in Closed means the toolstack is at liberty to start tearing
down the xenstore directories. In principal it might be possible to
arrange to unregister the device sooner (e.g on transition to Closing)
such that xenstore would still be there but this state machine is
fragile and prone to anger...
A modern Xen system only relies on the hotplug uevent for driver
domains, when the backend is in the same domain as the toolstack it
will run the necessary setup/teardown directly in the correct sequence
wrt xenstore changes.

sparc: Resolve conflict between sparc v9 and M7 on usage of bit 9 of TTE
Bit 9 of TTE is CV (Cacheable in V-cache) on sparc v9 processor while
the same bit 9 is MCDE (Memory Corruption Detection Enable) on M7
processor. This creates a conflicting usage of the same bit. Kernel
sets TTE.cv bit on all pages for sun4v architecture which works well
for sparc v9 but enables memory corruption detection on M7 processor
which is not the intent. This patch adds code to determine if kernel
is running on M7 processor and takes steps to not enable memory
corruption detection in TTE erroneously.

While shuffling some code around, dsa_switch_setup_one() was introduced,
and it was modified to return either an error code using ERR_PTR() or a
NULL pointer when running out of memory or failing to setup a switch.
This is a problem for its caler: dsa_switch_setup() which uses IS_ERR()
and expects to find an error code, not a NULL pointer, so we still try
to proceed with dsa_switch_setup() and operate on invalid memory
addresses. This can be easily reproduced by having e.g: the bcm_sf2
driver built-in, but having no such switch, such that drv->setup will
fail.
Fix this by using PTR_ERR() consistently which is both more informative
and avoids for the caller to use IS_ERR_OR_NULL().

Linux 3.17 and earlier are explicitly engineered so that if the app
doesn't specifically request a CC module on a listener before the SYN
arrives, then the child gets the system default CC when the connection
is established. See tcp_init_congestion_control() in 3.17 or earlier,
which says "if no choice made yet assign the current value set as
default". The change ("net: tcp: assign tcp cong_ops when tcp sk is
created") altered these semantics, so that children got their parent
listener's congestion control even if the system default had changed
after the listener was created.
This commit returns to those original semantics from 3.17 and earlier,
since they are the original semantics from 2007 in 4d4d3d1e8 ("[TCP]:
Congestion control initialization."), and some Linux congestion
control workflows depend on that.
In summary, if a listener socket specifically sets TCP_CONGESTION to
"x", or the route locks the CC module to "x", then the child gets
"x". Otherwise the child gets current system default from
net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control. That's the behavior in 3.17 and
earlier, and this commit restores that.

We have two problems in UDP stack related to bogus checksums :
1) We return -EAGAIN to application even if receive queue is not empty.
This breaks applications using edge trigger epoll()
2) Under UDP flood, we can loop forever without yielding to other
processes, potentially hanging the host, especially on non SMP.
This patch is an attempt to make things better.
We might in the future add extra support for rt applications
wanting to better control time spent doing a recv() in a hostile
environment. For example we could validate checksums before queuing
packets in socket receive queue.
