Pull init_task initializer cleanups from David Howells:
"It doesn't seem useful to have the init_task in a header file rather
than in a normal source file. We could consolidate init_task handling
instead and expand out various macros.
Here's a series of patches that consolidate init_task handling:
(1) Make THREAD_SIZE available to vmlinux.lds for cris, hexagon and
openrisc.
(2) Alter the INIT_TASK_DATA linker script macro to set
init_thread_union and init_stack rather than defining these in C.
Insert init_task and init_thread_into into the init_stack area in
the linker script as appropriate to the configuration, with
different section markers so that they end up correctly ordered.
We can then get merge ia64's init_task.c into the main one.
We then have a bunch of single-use INIT_*() macros that seem only
to be macros because they used to be used per-arch. We can then
expand these in place of the user and get rid of a few lines and
a lot of backslashes.
(3) Expand INIT_TASK() in place.
(4) Expand in place various small INIT_*() macros that are defined
conditionally. Expand them and surround them by #if[n]def/#endif
in the .c file as it takes fewer lines.
(5) Expand INIT_SIGNALS() and INIT_SIGHAND() in place.
(6) Expand INIT_STRUCT_PID in place.
These macros can then be discarded"

The function tracer can create a dynamically allocated trampoline that is
called by the function mcount or fentry hook that is used to call the
function callback that is registered. The problem is that the orc undwinder
will bail if it encounters one of these trampolines. This breaks the stack
trace of function callbacks, which include the stack tracer and setting the
stack trace for individual functions.
Since these dynamic trampolines are basically copies of the static ftrace
trampolines defined in ftrace_*.S, we do not need to create new orc entries
for the dynamic trampolines. Finding the return address on the stack will be
identical as the functions that were copied to create the dynamic
trampolines. When encountering a ftrace dynamic trampoline, we can just use
the orc entry of the ftrace static function that was copied for that
trampoline.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Preempt and irq trace events can be used for tracing the start and
end of an atomic section which can be used by a trace viewer like
systrace to graphically view the start and end of an atomic section and
correlate them with latencies and scheduling issues.
This also serves as a prelude to using synthetic events or probes to
rewrite the preempt and irqsoff tracers, along with numerous benefits of
using trace events features for these events.

If a module is loaded while tracing is enabled, then there's a possibility
that the module init functions were traced. These functions have their name
and address stored by ftrace such that it can translate the function address
that is written into the buffer into a human readable function name.
As userspace tools may be doing the same, they need a way to map function
names to their address as well. This is done through reading /proc/kallsyms.

In order to be able to trace module init functions, the module code needs to

When a module filter is added to set_ftrace_filter, if the module is not
loaded, it is cached. This should be considered an active filter, and
function tracing should be filtered by this. That is, if a cached module
filter is the only filter set, then no function tracing should be happening,
as all the functions available will be filtered out.
This makes sense, as the reason to add a cached module filter, is to trace
the module when you load it. There shouldn't be any other tracing happening
until then.

Relying on free_reserved_area() to call ftrace to free init memory proved to
not be sufficient. The issue is that on x86, when debug_pagealloc is
enabled, the init memory is not freed, but simply set as not present. Since
ftrace was uninformed of this, starting function tracing still tries to
update pages that are not present according to the page tables, causing
ftrace to bug, as well as killing the kernel itself.
Instead of relying on free_reserved_area(), have init/main.c call ftrace
directly just before it frees the init memory. Then it needs to use
__init_begin and __init_end to know where the init memory location is.
Looking at all archs (and testing what I can), it appears that this should
work for each of them.

Adding a hook into free_reserve_area() that informs ftrace that boot up init
text is being free, lets ftrace safely remove those init functions from its
records, which keeps ftrace from trying to modify text that no longer
exists.
Note, this still does not allow for tracing .init text of modules, as
modules require different work for freeing its init code.

Currently, when tracepoint_printk is set (enabled by the "tp_printk" kernel
command line), it causes trace events to print via printk(). This is a very
dangerous operation, but is useful for debugging.
The issue is, it's seldom used, but it is always checked even if it's not
enabled by the kernel command line. Instead of having this feature called by
a branch against a variable, turn that variable into a static key, and this
will remove the test and jump.
To simplify things, the functions output_printk() and
trace_event_buffer_commit() were moved from trace_events.c to trace.c.

When function graph tracing is enabled for a function, ftrace modifies
the stack by replacing the original return address with the address of a
hook function (return_to_handler).
Stack unwinders need a way to get the original return address. Add an
arch-independent helper function for that named ftrace_graph_ret_addr().
This adds two variations of the function: one depends on
HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_RET_ADDR_PTR, and the other relies on an index state
variable.
The former is recommended because, in some cases, the latter can cause
problems when the unwinder skips stack frames. It can get out of sync
with the ret_stack index and wrong addresses can be reported for the
stack trace.
Once all arches have been ported to use
HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_RET_ADDR_PTR, we can get rid of the distinction.

Storing this value will help prevent unwinders from getting out of sync
with the function graph tracer ret_stack. Now instead of needing a
stateful iterator, they can compare the return address pointer to find
the right ret_stack entry.
Note that an array of 50 ftrace_ret_stack structs is allocated for every
task. So when an arch implements this, it will add either 200 or 400
bytes of memory usage per task (depending on whether it's a 32-bit or
64-bit platform).

Currently ftrace_graph_ent{,_entry} and ftrace_graph_ret{,_entry} struct
can have padding bytes at the end due to alignment in 64-bit data type.
As these data are recorded so frequently, those paddings waste
non-negligible space. As the ring buffer maintains alignment properly
for each architecture, just to remove the extra padding using 'packed'
attribute.
ftrace_graph_ent_entry: 24 -> 20
ftrace_graph_ret_entry: 48 -> 44
Also I moved the 'overrun' field in struct ftrace_graph_ret to minimize
the padding in the middle.
Tested on x86_64 only.

KASAN needs to know whether the allocation happens in an IRQ handler.
This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the
number of unique stack traces needed to be stored.
Move the definition of __irq_entry to <linux/interrupt.h> so that the
users don't need to pull in <linux/ftrace.h>. Also introduce the
__softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the
corresponding functions to the .softirqentry.text section.

The preempt_disable() invokes preempt_count_add() which saves the caller
in ->preempt_disable_ip. It uses CALLER_ADDR1 which does not look for
its caller but for the parent of the caller. Which means we get the correct
caller for something like spin_lock() unless the architectures inlines
those invocations. It is always wrong for preempt_disable() or
local_bh_disable().
This patch makes the function get_lock_parent_ip() which tries
CALLER_ADDR0,1,2 if the former is a locking function.
This seems to record the preempt_disable() caller properly for
preempt_disable() itself as well as for get_cpu_var() or
local_bh_disable().
Steven asked for the get_parent_ip() -> get_lock_parent_ip() rename.

Pull livepatching fixes from Jiri Kosina:
- regression (from 4.4) fix for ordering issue, introduced by an
earlier ftrace change, that broke live patching of modules.
The fix replaces the ftrace module notifier by direct call in order
to make the ordering guaranteed and well-defined. The patch, from
Jessica Yu, has been acked both by Steven and Rusty
- error message fix from Miroslav Benes
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/livepatching:
ftrace/module: remove ftrace module notifier
livepatch: change the error message in asm/livepatch.h header files
Remove the ftrace module notifier in favor of directly calling
ftrace_module_enable() and ftrace_release_mod() in the module loader.
Hard-coding the function calls directly in the module loader removes
dependence on the module notifier call chain and provides better
visibility and control over what gets called when, which is important
to kernel utilities such as livepatch.
This fixes a notifier ordering issue in which the ftrace module notifier
(and hence ftrace_module_enable()) for coming modules was being called
after klp_module_notify(), which caused livepatch modules to initialize
incorrectly. This patch removes dependence on the module notifier call
chain in favor of hard coding the corresponding function calls in the
module loader. This ensures that ftrace and livepatch code get called in
the correct order on patch module load and unload.

The first is a cut and paste issue that changed the amount of stack
to skip when tracing a stack dump from 0 to 6, which basically made
the stack disappear for small stack traces.
The second fix is just removing an unused field in a struct that is no
longer used, and currently just wastes space.
The third is another cut-and-paste fix that had a tracepoint recording
the wrong field (it was recording the previous field a second time).

Qiu Peiyang pointed out that there's a race when enabling function tracing
and loading a module. In order to make the modifications of converting nops
in the prologue of functions into callbacks, the text needs to be converted
from read-only to read-write. When enabling function tracing, the text
permission is updated, the functions are modified, and then they are put
back.
When loading a module, the updates to convert function calls to mcount is
done before the module text is set to read-only. But after it is done, the
module text is visible by the function tracer. Thus we have the following
race:
CPU 0 CPU 1
----- -----
start function tracing
set text to read-write
load_module
add functions to ftrace
set module text read-only
update all functions to callbacks
modify module functions too
< Can't it's read-only >
When this happens, ftrace detects the issue and disables itself till the
next reboot.
To fix this, a new DISABLED flag is added for ftrace records, which all
module functions get when they are added. Then later, after the module code
is all set, the records will have the DISABLED flag cleared, and they will
be enabled if any callback wants all functions to be traced.
Note, this doesn't add the delay to later. It simply changes the
ftrace_module_init() to do both the setting of DISABLED records, and then
immediately calls the enable code. This helps with testing this new code as
it has the same behavior as previously. Another change will come after this
to have the ftrace_module_enable() called after the text is set to
read-only.

If the module init code fails after calling ftrace_module_init() and before
calling do_init_module(), we can suffer from a memory leak. This is because
ftrace_module_init() allocates pages to store the locations that ftrace
hooks are placed in the module text. If do_init_module() fails, it still
calls the MODULE_GOING notifiers which will tell ftrace to do a clean up of
the pages it allocated for the module. But if load_module() fails before
then, the pages allocated by ftrace_module_init() will never be freed.
Call ftrace_release_mod() on the module if load_module() fails before
getting to do_init_module().

Currently perf has its own list function within the ftrace infrastructure
that seems to be used only to allow for it to have per-cpu disabling as well
as a check to make sure that it's not called while RCU is not watching. It
uses something called the "control_ops" which is used to iterate over ops
under it with the control_list_func().
The problem is that this control_ops and control_list_func unnecessarily
complicates the code. By replacing FTRACE_OPS_FL_CONTROL with two new flags
(FTRACE_OPS_FL_RCU and FTRACE_OPS_FL_PER_CPU) we can remove all the code
that is special with the control ops and add the needed checks within the
generic ftrace_list_func().

When an anomaly is found while modifying function code, ftrace_bug() is
called which disables the function tracing infrastructure and reports
information about what failed. If the code that is to be replaced does not
match what is expected, then actual code is shown. Currently there is no
arch generic way to show what was expected.
Add a new variable pointer calld ftrace_expected that the arch code can set
to point to what it expected so that ftrace_bug() can report the actual text
as well as the text that was expected to be there.

The ftrace function hook utility has several internal checks to make sure
that whatever it modifies is exactly what it expects to be modifying. This
is essential as modifying running code can be extremely dangerous to the
system.
When an anomaly is detected, ftrace_bug() is called which sends a splat to
the console and disables function tracing. There's some extra information
that is printed to help diagnose the issue.
One thing that is missing though is output of what ftrace was doing at the
time of the crash. Was it updating a call site or perhaps converting a call
site to a nop? A new global enum variable is created to state what ftrace
was doing at the time of the anomaly, and this is reported in ftrace_bug().

A stack frame may be used in a different way depending on cpu architecture.
Thus it is not always appropriate to slurp the stack contents, as current
check_stack() does, in order to calcurate a stack index (height) at a given
function call. At least not on arm64.
In addition, there is a possibility that we will mistakenly detect a stale
stack frame which has not been overwritten.
This patch makes check_stack() a weak function so as to later implement
arch-specific version.
