0a9df786a6 lib/kasprintf.c: introduce kvasprintf_const
This adds kvasprintf_const which tries to use kstrdup_const if possible:
If the format string contains no % characters, or if the format string is
exactly "%s", we delegate to kstrdup_const.  Otherwise, we fall back to
kvasprintf.

Just as for kstrdup_const, the main motivation is to save memory by
reusing .rodata when possible.

The return value should be freed by kfree_const, just like for
kstrdup_const.

There is deliberately no kasprintf_const: In the vast majority of cases,
the format string argument is a literal, so one can determine statically
whether one could instead use kstrdup_const directly (which would also
require one to change all corresponding kfree calls to kfree_const).

8db1486065 include, lib: add __printf attributes to several function prototypes
Using __printf attributes helps to detect several format string issues
at compile time (even though -Wformat-security is currently disabled in
Makefile).  For example it can detect when formatting a pointer as a
number, like the issue fixed in commit a3fa71c40f ("wl18xx: show
rx_frames_per_rates as an array as it really is"), or when the arguments
do not match the format string, c.f.  for example commit 5ce1aca814
("reiserfs: fix __RASSERT format string").

To prevent similar bugs in the future, add a __printf attribute to every
function prototype which needs one in include/linux/ and lib/.  These
functions were mostly found by using gcc's -Wsuggest-attribute=format
flag.

02201e3f1b Minor merge needed, due to function move.
Main excitement here is Peter Zijlstra's lockless rbtree optimization to
 speed module address lookup.  He found some abusers of the module lock
 doing that too.
 
 A little bit of parameter work here too; including Dan Streetman's breaking
 up the big param mutex so writing a parameter can load another module (yeah,
 really).  Unfortunately that broke the usual suspects, !CONFIG_MODULES and
 !CONFIG_SYSFS, so those fixes were appended too.
 
 Cheers,
 Rusty.

5375b708f2 kernel/panic/kexec: fix "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" option issue in oops path
Commit f06e5153f4 ("kernel/panic.c: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers"
option for kdump after panic_notifers") introduced
"crash_kexec_post_notifiers" kernel boot option, which toggles wheather
panic() calls crash_kexec() before panic_notifiers and dump kmsg or after.

The problem is that the commit overlooks panic_on_oops kernel boot option.
 If it is enabled, crash_kexec() is called directly without going through
panic() in oops path.

To fix this issue, this patch adds a check to "crash_kexec_post_notifiers"
in the condition of kexec_should_crash().

Also, put a comment in kexec_should_crash() to explain not obvious things
on this patch.

 with what ftrace is compared to events. Technically, "ftrace" is the
 infrastructure to do the function hooks, which include tracing and also
 helps with live kernel patching. But the trace events are a separate
 entity altogether, and the files that affect the trace events should
 not be named "ftrace". These include:
 
   include/trace/ftrace.h	->	include/trace/trace_events.h
   include/linux/ftrace_event.h	->	include/linux/trace_events.h
 
 Also, functions that are specific for trace events have also been renamed:

3c6296f716 ring-buffer: Remove useless unused tracing_off_permanent()
The tracing_off_permanent() call is a way to disable all ring_buffers.
Nothing uses it and nothing should use it, as tracing_off() and
friends are better, as they disable the ring buffers related to
tracing. The tracing_off_permanent() even disabled non tracing
ring buffers. This is a bit drastic, and was added to handle NMIs
doing outputs that could corrupt the ring buffer when only tracing
used them. It is now obsolete and adds a little overhead, it should
be removed.

28b8d0c8f5 sysfs: tightened sysfs permission checks
There were some inconsistency in restriction to VERIFY_OCTAL_PERMISSIONS().
Previously the test was "User perms >= group perms >= other perms". The
permission field of User, Group or Other consists of three bits. LSB is
EXECUTE permission, MSB is READ permission and the middle bit is WRITE
permission. But logically WRITE is "more privileged" than READ.

Say for example, permission value is "0430". Here User has only READ
permission whereas Group has both WRITE and EXECUTE permission.

So, the checks could be tightened and the tests are separated to
USER_READABLE >= GROUP_READABLE >= OTHER_READABLE,
USER_WRITABLE >= GROUP_WRITABLE and OTHER_WRITABLE is not permitted.

9ec23531fd sched/preempt, mm/fault: Trigger might_sleep() in might_fault() with disabled pagefaults
Commit 662bbcb274 ("mm, sched: Allow uaccess in atomic with
pagefault_disable()") removed might_sleep() checks for all user access
code (that uses might_fault()).

The reason was to disable wrong "sleep in atomic" warnings in the
following scenario:

    pagefault_disable()
    rc = copy_to_user(...)
    pagefault_enable()

Which is valid, as pagefault_disable() increments the preempt counter
and therefore disables the pagefault handler. copy_to_user() will not
sleep and return an error code if a page is not available.

However, as all might_sleep() checks are removed,
CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP would no longer detect the following scenario:

    spin_lock(&lock);
    rc = copy_to_user(...)
    spin_unlock(&lock)

If the kernel is compiled with preemption turned on, preempt_disable()
will make in_atomic() detect disabled preemption. The fault handler would
correctly never sleep on user access.
However, with preemption turned off, preempt_disable() is usually a NOP
(with !CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT), therefore in_atomic() will not be able to
detect disabled preemption nor disabled pagefaults. The fault handler
could sleep.
We really want to enable CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP checks for user access
functions again, otherwise we can end up with horrible deadlocks.

Root of all evil is that pagefault_disable() acts almost as
preempt_disable(), depending on preemption being turned on/off.

As we now have pagefault_disabled(), we can use it to distinguish
whether user acces functions might sleep.

Convert might_fault() into a makro that calls __might_fault(), to
allow proper file + line messages in case of a might_sleep() warning.

1d9c5d79e6 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/livepatching
Pull live patching infrastructure from Jiri Kosina:
 "Let me provide a bit of history first, before describing what is in
  this pile.

  Originally, there was kSplice as a standalone project that implemented
  stop_machine()-based patching for the linux kernel.  This project got
  later acquired, and the current owner is providing live patching as a
  proprietary service, without any intentions to have their
  implementation merged.

  Then, due to rising user/customer demand, both Red Hat and SUSE
  started working on their own implementation (not knowing about each
  other), and announced first versions roughly at the same time [1] [2].

  The principle difference between the two solutions is how they are
  making sure that the patching is performed in a consistent way when it
  comes to different execution threads with respect to the semantic
  nature of the change that is being introduced.

  In a nutshell, kPatch is issuing stop_machine(), then looking at
  stacks of all existing processess, and if it decides that the system
  is in a state that can be patched safely, it proceeds insterting code
  redirection machinery to the patched functions.

  On the other hand, kGraft provides a per-thread consistency during one
  single pass of a process through the kernel and performs a lazy
  contignuous migration of threads from "unpatched" universe to the
  "patched" one at safe checkpoints.

  If interested in a more detailed discussion about the consistency
  models and its possible combinations, please see the thread that
  evolved around [3].

  It pretty quickly became obvious to the interested parties that it's
  absolutely impractical in this case to have several isolated solutions
  for one task to co-exist in the kernel.  During a dedicated Live
  Kernel Patching track at LPC in Dusseldorf, all the interested parties
  sat together and came up with a joint aproach that would work for both
  distro vendors.  Steven Rostedt took notes [4] from this meeting.

  And the foundation for that aproach is what's present in this pull
  request.

  It provides a basic infrastructure for function "live patching" (i.e.
  code redirection), including API for kernel modules containing the
  actual patches, and API/ABI for userspace to be able to operate on the
  patches (look up what patches are applied, enable/disable them, etc).

  It's relatively simple and minimalistic, as it's making use of
  existing kernel infrastructure (namely ftrace) as much as possible.
  It's also self-contained, in a sense that it doesn't hook itself in
  any other kernel subsystem (it doesn't even touch any other code).
  It's now implemented for x86 only as a reference architecture, but
  support for powerpc, s390 and arm is already in the works (adding
  arch-specific support basically boils down to teaching ftrace about
  regs-saving).

  Once this common infrastructure gets merged, both Red Hat and SUSE
  have agreed to immediately start porting their current solutions on
  top of this, abandoning their out-of-tree code.  The plan basically is
  that each patch will be marked by flag(s) that would indicate which
  consistency model it is willing to use (again, the details have been
  sketched out already in the thread at [3]).

  Before this happens, the current codebase can be used to patch a large
  group of secruity/stability problems the patches for which are not too
  complex (in a sense that they don't introduce non-trivial change of
  function's return value semantics, they don't change layout of data
  structures, etc) -- this corresponds to LEAVE_FUNCTION &&

00845eb968 sched: don't cause task state changes in nested sleep debugging
Commit 8eb23b9f35 ("sched: Debug nested sleeps") added code to report
on nested sleep conditions, which we generally want to avoid because the
inner sleeping operation can re-set the thread state to TASK_RUNNING,
but that will then cause the outer sleep loop not actually sleep when it
calls schedule.

However, that's actually valid traditional behavior, with the inner
sleep being some fairly rare case (like taking a sleeping lock that
normally doesn't actually need to sleep).

And the debug code would actually change the state of the task to
TASK_RUNNING internally, which makes that kind of traditional and
working code not work at all, because now the nested sleep doesn't just
sometimes cause the outer one to not block, but will cause it to happen
every time.

In particular, it will cause the cardbus kernel daemon (pccardd) to
basically busy-loop doing scheduling, converting a laptop into a heater,
as reported by Bruno Prémont.  But there may be other legacy uses of
that nested sleep model in other drivers that are also likely to never
get converted to the new model.

This fixes both cases:

 - don't set TASK_RUNNING when the nested condition happens (note: even
   if WARN_ONCE() only _warns_ once, the return value isn't whether the
   warning happened, but whether the condition for the warning was true.
   So despite the warning only happening once, the "if (WARN_ON(..))"
   would trigger for every nested sleep.

 - in the cases where we knowingly disable the warning by using
   "sched_annotate_sleep()", don't change the task state (that is used
   for all core scheduling decisions), instead use '->task_state_change'
   that is used for the debugging decision itself.

(Credit for the second part of the fix goes to Oleg Nesterov: "Can't we
avoid this subtle change in behaviour DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP adds?" with the
suggested change to use 'task_state_change' as part of the test)

c5f4546593 livepatch: kernel: add TAINT_LIVEPATCH
This adds a new taint flag to indicate when the kernel or a kernel
module has been live patched.  This will provide a clean indication in
bug reports that live patching was used.

Additionally, if the crash occurs in a live patched function, the live
patch module will appear beside the patched function in the backtrace.

9e3961a097 kernel: add panic_on_warn
There have been several times where I have had to rebuild a kernel to
cause a panic when hitting a WARN() in the code in order to get a crash
dump from a system.  Sometimes this is easy to do, other times (such as
in the case of a remote admin) it is not trivial to send new images to
the user.

A much easier method would be a switch to change the WARN() over to a
panic.  This makes debugging easier in that I can now test the actual
image the WARN() was seen on and I do not have to engage in remote
debugging.

This patch adds a panic_on_warn kernel parameter and
/proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_warn calls panic() in the
warn_slowpath_common() path.  The function will still print out the
location of the warning.

An example of the panic_on_warn output:

The first line below is from the WARN_ON() to output the WARN_ON()'s
location.  After that the panic() output is displayed.

2e1d06e1c0 include/linux/kernel.h: rewrite min3, max3 and clamp using min and max

    $ cat min-max.c
    #define min(x, y) ({				\
    	typeof(x) _min1 = (x);			\
    	typeof(y) _min2 = (y);			\
    	(void) (&_min1 == &_min2);		\
    	_min1 < _min2 ? _min1 : _min2; })

fmin3 function, which uses open-coded min3 macro, is compiled into total
of ten instructions including a conditional branch, whereas fmin2
function, which uses two calls to min2 macro, is compiled into six
instructions with no branches.

Similarly, open-coded clamp produces the same code as clamp using min and
max macros, but the latter is much shorter:

    $ cat clamp.c
    #define clamp(val, min, max) ({			\
    	typeof(val) __val = (val);		\
    	typeof(min) __min = (min);		\
    	typeof(max) __max = (max);		\
    	(void) (&__val == &__min);		\
    	(void) (&__val == &__max);		\
    	__val = __val < __min ? __min: __val;	\
    	__val > __max ? __max: __val; })
    #define min(x, y) ({				\
    	typeof(x) _min1 = (x);			\
    	typeof(y) _min2 = (y);			\
    	(void) (&_min1 == &_min2);		\
    	_min1 < _min2 ? _min1 : _min2; })
    #define max(x, y) ({				\
    	typeof(x) _max1 = (x);			\
    	typeof(y) _max2 = (y);			\
    	(void) (&_max1 == &_max2);		\
    	_max1 > _max2 ? _max1 : _max2; })

58f86cc89c VERIFY_OCTAL_PERMISSIONS: stricter checking for sysfs perms.
Summary of http://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/14/363 :

  Ted: module_param(queue_depth, int, 444)
  Joe: 0444!
  Rusty: User perms >= group perms >= other perms?
  Joe: CLASS_ATTR, DEVICE_ATTR, SENSOR_ATTR and SENSOR_ATTR_2?

Side effect of stricter permissions means removing the unnecessary
S_IFREG from several callers.

Note that the BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO((perm) & 2) test was removed: a fair
number of drivers fail this test, so that will be the debate for a
future patch.

66cc69e34e Fix: module signature vs tracepoints: add new TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE
Users have reported being unable to trace non-signed modules loaded
within a kernel supporting module signature.

This is caused by tracepoint.c:tracepoint_module_coming() refusing to
take into account tracepoints sitting within force-loaded modules
(TAINT_FORCED_MODULE). The reason for this check, in the first place, is
that a force-loaded module may have a struct module incompatible with
the layout expected by the kernel, and can thus cause a kernel crash
upon forced load of that module on a kernel with CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS=y.

Tracepoints, however, specifically accept TAINT_OOT_MODULE and
TAINT_CRAP, since those modules do not lead to the "very likely system
crash" issue cited above for force-loaded modules.

With kernels having CONFIG_MODULE_SIG=y (signed modules), a non-signed
module is tainted re-using the TAINT_FORCED_MODULE taint flag.
Unfortunately, this means that Tracepoints treat that module as a
force-loaded module, and thus silently refuse to consider any tracepoint
within this module.

Since an unsigned module does not fit within the "very likely system
crash" category of tainting, add a new TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE taint flag
to specifically address this taint behavior, and accept those modules
within Tracepoints. We use the letter 'X' as a taint flag character for
a module being loaded that doesn't know how to sign its name (proposed
by Steven Rostedt).

Also add the missing 'O' entry to trace event show_module_flags() list
for the sake of completeness.

  configuration via Kconfig, via CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT=X - useful to
  distros that generally want their kernel defaults to come with the
  .config.

  CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT defaults to 0, which was the previous default
  value of panic_timeout.

  Doing that unearthed a few arch trickeries regarding arch-special
  panic_timeout values and related complications - hopefully all
  resolved to the satisfaction of everyone"

5800dc3cff panic: Make panic_timeout configurable
The panic_timeout value can be set via the command line option
'panic=x', or via /proc/sys/kernel/panic, however that is not
sufficient when the panic occurs before we are able to set up
these values. Thus, add a CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT so that we can
set the desired value from the .config.

The default panic_timeout value continues to be 0 - wait
forever. Also adds set_arch_panic_timeout(new_timeout,
arch_default_timeout), which is intended to be used by arches in
arch_setup(). The idea being that the new_timeout is only set if
the user hasn't changed from the arch_default_timeout.

Pull voluntary preemption fixes from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree contains a speedup which is achieved through better
  might_sleep()/might_fault() preemption point annotations for uaccess
  functions, by Michael S Tsirkin:

  1. The only reason uaccess routines might sleep is if they fault.
     Make this explicit for all architectures.

  2. A voluntary preemption point in uaccess functions means compiler
     can't inline them efficiently, this breaks assumptions that they
     are very fast and small that e.g.  net code seems to make.  Remove
     this preemption point so behaviour matches with what callers
     assume.

  3. Accesses (e.g through socket ops) to kernel memory with KERNEL_DS
     like net/sunrpc does will never sleep.  Remove an unconditinal
     might_sleep() in the might_fault() inline in kernel.h (used when
     PROVE_LOCKING is not set).

  4. Accesses with pagefault_disable() return EFAULT but won't cause
     caller to sleep.  Check for that and thus avoid might_sleep() when
     PROVE_LOCKING is set.

  These changes offer a nice speedup for CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y
  kernels, here's a network bandwidth measurement between a virtual
  machine and the host:

   before:
        incoming: 7122.77   Mb/s
        outgoing: 8480.37   Mb/s

   after:
        incoming: 8619.24   Mb/s   [ +21.0% ]
        outgoing: 9455.42   Mb/s   [ +11.5% ]

  I kept these changes in a separate tree, separate from scheduler
  changes, because it's a mixed MM and scheduler topic"

662bbcb274 mm, sched: Allow uaccess in atomic with pagefault_disable()
This changes might_fault() so that it does not
trigger a false positive diagnostic for e.g. the following
sequence:

	spin_lock_irqsave()
	pagefault_disable()
	copy_to_user()
	pagefault_enable()
	spin_unlock_irqrestore()

In particular vhost wants to do this, to call
socket ops from under a lock.

There are 3 cases to consider:

 - CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING - might_fault is non-inline
   so it's easy to move the in_atomic test to fix
   up the false positive warning.

 - CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP - might_fault
   is currently inline, but we are calling a
   non-inline __might_sleep anyway,
   so let's use the non-line version of might_fault
   that does the right thing.

 - !CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP && !CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING
   __might_sleep is a nop so might_fault is a nop.

Make this explicit.

114276ac0a mm, sched: Drop voluntary schedule from might_fault()
might_fault() is called from functions like copy_to_user()
which most callers expect to be very fast, like a couple of
instructions.

So functions like memcpy_toiovec() call them many times in a loop.

But might_fault() calls might_sleep() and with CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY
this results in a function call.

Let's not do this - just call __might_sleep() that produces
a diagnostic for sleep within atomic, but drop
might_preempt().

Here's a test sending traffic between the VM and the host,
host is built with CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY:

 before:
	incoming: 7122.77   Mb/s
	outgoing: 8480.37   Mb/s

 after:
	incoming: 8619.24   Mb/s
	outgoing: 9455.42   Mb/s

As a side effect, this fixes an issue pointed
out by Ingo: might_fault might schedule differently
depending on PROVE_LOCKING. Now there's no
preemption point in both cases, so it's consistent.

9e8529afc4 Tracing updates for Linux 3.10
Along with the usual minor fixes and clean ups there are a few major
 changes with this pull request.
 
 1) Multiple buffers for the ftrace facility
 
 This feature has been requested by many people over the last few years.
 I even heard that Google was about to implement it themselves. I finally
 had time and cleaned up the code such that you can now create multiple
 instances of the ftrace buffer and have different events go to different
 buffers. This way, a low frequency event will not be lost in the noise
 of a high frequency event.
 
 Note, currently only events can go to different buffers, the tracers
 (ie. function, function_graph and the latency tracers) still can only
 be written to the main buffer.
 
 2) The function tracer triggers have now been extended.
 
 The function tracer had two triggers. One to enable tracing when a
 function is hit, and one to disable tracing. Now you can record a
 stack trace on a single (or many) function(s), take a snapshot of the
 buffer (copy it to the snapshot buffer), and you can enable or disable
 an event to be traced when a function is hit.
 
 3) A perf clock has been added.
 
 A "perf" clock can be chosen to be used when tracing. This will cause
 ftrace to use the same clock as perf uses, and hopefully this will make
 it easier to interleave the perf and ftrace data for analysis.

dc72c32e1f printk: Provide a wake_up_klogd() off-case
wake_up_klogd() is useless when CONFIG_PRINTK=n because neither printk()
nor printk_sched() are in use and there are actually no waiter on
log_wait waitqueue.  It should be a stub in this case for users like
bust_spinlocks().

Otherwise this results in this warning when CONFIG_PRINTK=n and
CONFIG_IRQ_WORK=n:

	kernel/built-in.o In function `wake_up_klogd':
	(.text.wake_up_klogd+0xb4): undefined reference to `irq_work_queue'

To fix this, provide an off-case for wake_up_klogd() when
CONFIG_PRINTK=n.

There is much more from console_unlock() and other console related code
in printk.c that should be moved under CONFIG_PRINTK.  But for now,
focus on a minimal fix as we passed the merged window already.

b92021b09d CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX: cleanup.
We have CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX, which three archs define to the string
"_".  But Al Viro broke this in "consolidate cond_syscall and
SYSCALL_ALIAS declarations" (in linux-next), and he's not the first to
do so.

Using CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is awkward, since we usually just want to
prefix it so something.  So various places define helpers which are
defined to nothing if CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX isn't set:

1) include/asm-generic/unistd.h defines __SYMBOL_PREFIX.
2) include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h defines VMLINUX_SYMBOL(sym)
3) include/linux/export.h defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
4) include/linux/kernel.h defines SYMBOL_PREFIX (which differs from #7)
5) kernel/modsign_certificate.S defines ASM_SYMBOL(sym)
6) scripts/modpost.c defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX
7) scripts/Makefile.lib defines SYMBOL_PREFIX on the commandline if
   CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is set, so that we have a non-string version
   for pasting.

(arch/h8300/include/asm/linkage.h defines SYMBOL_NAME(), too).

Let's solve this properly:
1) No more generic prefix, just CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
2) Make linux/export.h usable from asm.

c142be8ebe tracing: Add skip argument to trace_dump_stack()
Altough the trace_dump_stack() already skips three functions in
the call to stack trace, which gets the stack trace to start
at the caller of the function, the caller may want to skip some
more too (as it may have helper functions).

Add a skip argument to the trace_dump_stack() that lets the caller
skip back tracing functions that it doesn't care about.

9d3c752c06 tracing: Optimize trace_printk() with one arg to use trace_puts()
Although trace_printk() is extremely fast, especially when it uses
trace_bprintk() (writes args straight to buffer instead of inserting
into string), it still has the overhead of calling one of the printf
sprintf() functions, that need to scan the fmt string to determine
what, if any args it has.

This is a waste of precious CPU cycles if the printk format has no
args but a single constant string. It is better to use trace_puts()
which does not have the overhead of the fmt scanning.

But wouldn't it be nice if the developer didn't have to think about
such things, and the compile would just do it for them?

  trace_printk("this string has no args\n");
  [...]
  trace_printk("this sting does %p %d\n", foo, bar);

As tracing is critical to have the least amount of overhead,
especially when dealing with race conditions, and you want to
eliminate any "Heisenbugs", you want the trace_printk() to use the
fastest possible means of tracing.

Currently the macro magic determines if it will use trace_bprintk()
or if the fmt is a dynamic string (a variable), it will fall
back to the slow trace_printk() method that does a full snprintf()
before copying it into the buffer, where as trace_bprintk() only
copys the pointer to the fmt and the args into the buffer.

Well, now there's a way to spend some more Hogwarts cash and come
up with new fancy macro magic.

  #define trace_printk(fmt, ...)			\
  do {							\
	char _______STR[] = __stringify((__VA_ARGS__));	\
	if (sizeof(_______STR) > 3)			\
		do_trace_printk(fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__);	\
	else						\
		trace_puts(fmt);			\
  } while (0)

The above needs a bit of explaining (both here and in the comments).

By stringifying the __VA_ARGS__, we can, at compile time, determine
the number of args that are being passed to trace_printk(). The extra
parenthesis are required, otherwise the compiler complains about
too many parameters for __stringify if there is more than one arg.

When there are no args, the __stringify((__VA_ARGS__)) converts into
"()\0", a string of 3 characters. Anything else, will be a string
containing more than 3 characters. Now we assign that string to a
dynamic char array, and then take the sizeof() of that array.
If it is greater than 3 characters, we know trace_printk() has args
and we need to do the full "do_trace_printk()" on them, otherwise
it was only passed a single arg and we can optimize to use trace_puts().

09ae72348e tracing: Add trace_puts() for even faster trace_printk() tracing
The trace_printk() is extremely fast and is very handy as it can be
used in any context (including NMIs!). But it still requires scanning
the fmt string for parsing the args. Even the trace_bprintk() requires
a scan to know what args will be saved, although it doesn't copy the
format string itself.

Several times trace_printk() has no args, and wastes cpu cycles scanning
the fmt string.

Adding trace_puts() allows the developer to use an even faster
tracing method that only saves the pointer to the string in the
ring buffer without doing any format parsing at all. This will
help remove even more of the "Heisenbug" effect, when debugging.

Also fixed up the F_printk()s for the ftrace internal bprint and print events.

ad909e21bb tracing: Add internal tracing_snapshot() functions
The new snapshot feature is quite handy. It's a way for the user
to take advantage of the spare buffer that, until then, only
the latency tracers used to "snapshot" the buffer when it hit
a max latency. Now users can trigger a "snapshot" manually when
some condition is hit in a program. But a snapshot currently can
not be triggered by a condition inside the kernel.

With the addition of tracing_snapshot() and tracing_snapshot_alloc(),
snapshots can now be taking when a condition is hit, and the
developer wants to snapshot the case without stopping the trace.

Note, any snapshot will overwrite the old one, so take care
in how this is done.

These new functions are to be used like tracing_on(), tracing_off()
and trace_printk() are. That is, they should never be called
in the mainline Linux kernel. They are solely for the purpose
of debugging.

The tracing_snapshot() will not allocate a buffer, but it is
safe to be called from any context (except NMIs). But if a
snapshot buffer isn't allocated when it is called, it will write
to the live buffer, complaining about the lack of a snapshot
buffer, and then stop tracing (giving you the "permanent snapshot").

tracing_snapshot_alloc() will allocate the snapshot buffer if
it was not already allocated and then take the snapshot. This routine
*may sleep*, and must be called from context that can sleep.
The allocation is done with GFP_KERNEL and not atomic.

If you need a snapshot in an atomic context, say in early boot,
then it is best to call the tracing_snapshot_alloc() before then,
where it will allocate the buffer, and then you can use the
tracing_snapshot() anywhere you want and still get snapshots.

c4e18497d8 linux/kernel.h: fix DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST with unsigned divisors
Commit 263a523d18 ("linux/kernel.h: Fix warning seen with W=1 due to
change in DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST") fixes a warning seen with W=1 due to
change in DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST.

Unfortunately, the C compiler converts divide operations with unsigned
divisors to unsigned, even if the dividend is signed and negative (for
example, -10 / 5U = 858993457).  The C standard says "If one operand has
unsigned int type, the other operand is converted to unsigned int", so
the compiler is not to blame.  As a result, DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(0, 2U) and
similar operations now return bad values, since the automatic conversion
of expressions such as "0 - 2U/2" to unsigned was not taken into
account.

Fix by checking for the divisor variable type when deciding which
operation to perform.  This fixes DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(0, 2U), but still
returns bad values for negative dividends divided by unsigned divisors.
Mark the latter case as unsupported.

One observed effect of this problem is that the s2c_hwmon driver reports
a value of 4198403 instead of 0 if the ADC reads 0.

Other impact is unpredictable.  Problem is seen if the divisor is an
unsigned variable or constant and the dividend is less than (divisor/2).

263a523d18 linux/kernel.h: Fix warning seen with W=1 due to change in DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST
After commit b6d86d3d (Fix DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST to support negative dividends),
the following warning is seen if the kernel is compiled with W=1 (-Wextra):

warning: comparison of unsigned expression >= 0 is always true

The warning is due to the test '((typeof(x))-1) >= 0', which is used to detect
if the variable type is unsigned. Research on the web suggests that the warning
disappears if '>' instead of '>=' is used for the comparison.

Tests after changing the macro along that line show that the warning is gone,
and that the result is still correct:

i=-4: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=-2
i=-3: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=-2
i=-2: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=-1
i=-1: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=-1
i=0: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=0
i=1: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=1
i=2: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=1
i=3: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=2
i=4: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=2

07d777fe8c tracing: Add percpu buffers for trace_printk()
Currently, trace_printk() uses a single buffer to write into
to calculate the size and format needed to save the trace. To
do this safely in an SMP environment, a spin_lock() is taken
to only allow one writer at a time to the buffer. But this could
also affect what is being traced, and add synchronization that
would not be there otherwise.

Ideally, using percpu buffers would be useful, but since trace_printk()
is only used in development, having per cpu buffers for something
never used is a waste of space. Thus, the use of the trace_bprintk()
format section is changed to be used for static fmts as well as dynamic ones.
Then at boot up, we can check if the section that holds the trace_printk
formats is non-empty, and if it does contain something, then we
know a trace_printk() has been added to the kernel. At this time
the trace_printk per cpu buffers are allocated. A check is also
done at module load time in case a module is added that contains a
trace_printk().

Once the buffers are allocated, they are never freed. If you use
a trace_printk() then you should know what you are doing.

A buffer is made for each type of context:

  normal
  softirq
  irq
  nmi

The context is checked and the appropriate buffer is used.
This allows for totally lockless usage of trace_printk(),
and they no longer even disable interrupts.

    -e cpu/cmask=1,event=2,umask=3

  Most people will not want to specify any events (let alone raw
  events), they'll just use whatever default event the tools use.

  But for more obscure PMU events that have no cross-architecture
  generic events the above syntax is more usable and a bit more
  structured than specifying hex numbers."

ed2d265d12 The following text was taken from the original review request:
"[RFC - PATCH 0/7] consolidation of BUG support code."
 		https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/26/525
 --
 
 The changes shown here are to unify linux's BUG support under
 the one <linux/bug.h> file.  Due to historical reasons, we have
 some BUG code in bug.h and some in kernel.h -- i.e. the support for
 BUILD_BUG in linux/kernel.h predates the addition of linux/bug.h,
 but old code in kernel.h wasn't moved to bug.h at that time.  As
 a band-aid, kernel.h was including <asm/bug.h> to pseudo link them.
 
 This has caused confusion[1] and general yuck/WTF[2] reactions.
 Here is an example that violates the principle of least surprise:
 
       CC      lib/string.o
       lib/string.c: In function 'strlcat':
       lib/string.c:225:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'BUILD_BUG_ON'
       make[2]: *** [lib/string.o] Error 1
       $
       $ grep linux/bug.h lib/string.c
       #include <linux/bug.h>
       $
 
 We've included <linux/bug.h> for the BUG infrastructure and yet we
 still get a compile fail!  [We've not kernel.h for BUILD_BUG_ON.]
 Ugh - very confusing for someone who is new to kernel development.
 
 With the above in mind, the goals of this changeset are:
 
 1) find and fix any include/*.h files that were relying on the
    implicit presence of BUG code.
 2) find and fix any C files that were consuming kernel.h and
    hence relying on implicitly getting some/all BUG code.
 3) Move the BUG related code living in kernel.h to <linux/bug.h>
 4) remove the asm/bug.h from kernel.h to finally break the chain.
 
 During development, the order was more like 3-4, build-test, 1-2.
 But to ensure that git history for bisect doesn't get needless
 build failures introduced, the commits have been reorderd to fix
 the problem areas in advance.

93d68e5229 tracing: Move the tracing_on/off() declarations into CONFIG_TRACING
The tracing_on/off() declarations were under CONFIG_RING_BUFFER, but
the functions are now only defined under CONFIG_TRACING as they are
specific to ftrace and not the ring buffer.

But the declarations were still defined under the ring buffer and
this caused the build to fail when CONFIG_RING_BUFFER was set but
CONFIG_TRACING was not.

9993bc635d sched/x86: Fix overflow in cyc2ns_offset
When a machine boots up, the TSC generally gets reset.  However,
when kexec is used to boot into a kernel, the TSC value would be
carried over from the previous kernel.  The computation of
cycns_offset in set_cyc2ns_scale is prone to an overflow, if the
machine has been up more than 208 days prior to the kexec.  The
overflow happens when we multiply *scale, even though there is
enough room to store the final answer.

We fix this issue by decomposing tsc_now into the quotient and
remainder of division by CYC2NS_SCALE_FACTOR and then performing
the multiplication separately on the two components.

Refactor code to share the calculation with the previous
fix in __cycles_2_ns().

35edd9103c bug: consolidate BUILD_BUG_ON with other bug code
The support for BUILD_BUG in linux/kernel.h predates the
addition of linux/bug.h -- with this chunk off separate,
you can run into situations where a person gets a compile
fail even when they've included linux/bug.h, like this:

    CC      lib/string.o
  lib/string.c: In function 'strlcat':
  lib/string.c:225:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'BUILD_BUG_ON'
  make[2]: *** [lib/string.o] Error 1
  $
  $ grep linux/bug.h lib/string.c
  #include <linux/bug.h>
  $

Since the above violates the principle of least surprise, move
the BUG chunks from kernel.h to bug.h so it is all together.

1399ff86f2 kernel.h: add BUILD_BUG() macro
We can place this in definitions that we expect the compiler to remove by
dead code elimination.  If this assertion fails, we get a nice error
message at build time.

The GCC function attribute error("message") was added in version 4.3, so
we define a new macro __linktime_error(message) to expand to this for
GCC-4.3 and later.  This will give us an error diagnostic from the
compiler on the line that fails.  For other compilers
__linktime_error(message) expands to nothing, and we have to be content
with a link time error, but at least we will still get a build error.

BUILD_BUG() expands to the undefined function __build_bug_failed() and
will fail at link time if the compiler ever emits code for it.  On GCC-4.3
and later, attribute((error())) is used so that the failure will be noted
at compile time instead.

55af77969f x86: Panic on detection of stack overflow
Currently, messages are just output on the detection of stack
overflow, which is not sufficient for systems that need a
high reliability. This is because in general the overflow may
corrupt data, and the additional corruption may occur due to
reading them unless systems stop.

This patch adds the sysctl parameter
kernel.panic_on_stackoverflow and causes a panic when detecting
the overflows of kernel, IRQ and exception stacks except user
stack according to the parameter. It is disabled by default.

b9075fa968 treewide: use __printf not __attribute__((format(printf,...)))
Standardize the style for compiler based printf format verification.
Standardized the location of __printf too.

Done via script and a little typing.

$ grep -rPl --include=*.[ch] -w "__attribute__" * | \
  grep -vP "^(tools|scripts|include/linux/compiler-gcc.h)" | \
  xargs perl -n -i -e 'local $/; while (<>) { s/\b__attribute__\s*\(\s*\(\s*format\s*\(\s*printf\s*,\s*(.+)\s*,\s*(.+)\s*\)\s*\)\s*\)/__printf($1, $2)/g ; print; }'

b78049831f lib: add error checking to hex2bin
hex2bin converts a hexadecimal string to its binary representation.
The original version of hex2bin did not do any error checking.  This
patch adds error checking and returns the result.

Changelog v1:
- removed unpack_hex_byte()
- changed return code from boolean to int

Changelog:
- use the new unpack_hex_byte()
- add __must_check compiler option (Andy Shevchenko's suggestion)
- change function API to return error checking result
  (based on Tetsuo Handa's initial patch)
