48078d2dac sparc/ftrace: Fix ftrace graph time measurement
The ftrace function_graph time measurements of a given function is not
accurate according to those recorded by ftrace using the function
filters.  This change pulls the x86_64 fix from 'commit 722b3c7469
("ftrace/graph: Trace function entry before updating index")' into the
sparc specific prepare_ftrace_return which stops ftrace from
counting interrupted tasks in the time measurement.

Example measurements for select_task_rq_fair running "hackbench 100
process 1000":

deba804c90 sparc: Fix -Wstringop-overflow warning
Greetings,

GCC 7 introduced the -Wstringop-overflow flag to detect buffer overflows
in calls to string handling functions [1][2]. Due to the way
``empty_zero_page'' is declared in arch/sparc/include/setup.h, this
causes a warning to trigger at compile time in the function mem_init(),
which is subsequently converted to an error. The ensuing patch fixes
this issue and aligns the declaration of empty_zero_page to that of
other architectures. Thank you.

Cheers,
Orlando.

791a9a666d Kbuild UAPI header export updates for v4.12
Improvement of headers_install by Nicolas Dichtel.
 
 It has been long since the introduction of uapi directories,
 but the de-coupling of exported headers has not been completed.
 Headers listed in header-y are exported whether they exist in
 uapi directories or not.  His work fixes this inconsistency.
 
 All (and only) headers under uapi directories are now exported.
 The asm-generic wrappers are still exceptions, but this is a big
 step forward.

fcc8487d47 uapi: export all headers under uapi directories
Regularly, when a new header is created in include/uapi/, the developer
forgets to add it in the corresponding Kbuild file. This error is usually
detected after the release is out.

In fact, all headers under uapi directories should be exported, thus it's
useless to have an exhaustive list.

exported (with make headers_install_all):

3c7f622120 sparc64: fix fault handling in NGbzero.S and GENbzero.S
When any of the functions contained in NGbzero.S and GENbzero.S
vector through *bzero_from_clear_user, we may end up taking a
fault when executing one of the store alternate address space
instructions. If this happens, the exception handler does not
restore the %asi register.

This commit fixes the issue by introducing a new exception
handler that ensures the %asi register is restored when
a fault is handled.

e3bf4c61da sparc64: Fix BPF JIT wrt. branches and ldimm64 instructions.
Like other JITs, sparc64 maintains an array of instruction offsets but
stores the entries off by one.  This is done because jumps to the
exit block are indexed to one past the last BPF instruction.

So if we size the array by the program length, we need to record
the previous instruction in order to stay within the array bounds.

This is explained in ARM JIT commit 8eee539dde ("arm64: bpf: fix
out-of-bounds read in bpf2a64_offset()").

But this scheme requires a little bit of careful handling when
the instruction before the branch destination is a 64-bit load
immediate.  It takes up 2 BPF instruction slots.

Therefore, we have to fill in the array entry for the second
half of the 64-bit load immediate instruction rather than for
the one for the beginning of that instruction.

Fixes: 7a12b5031c ("sparc64: Add eBPF JIT.")

14933dc8d9 sparc64: Improve 64-bit constant loading in eBPF JIT.
Doing a full 64-bit decomposition is really stupid especially for
simple values like 0 and -1.

But if we are going to optimize this, go all the way and try for all 2
and 3 instruction sequences not requiring a temporary register as
well.

First we do the easy cases where it's a zero or sign extended 32-bit
number (sethi+or, sethi+xor, respectively).

Then we try to find a range of set bits we can load simply then shift
up into place, in various ways.

Then we try negating the constant and see if we can do a simple
sequence using that with a xor at the end.  (f.e. the range of set
bits can't be loaded simply, but for the negated value it can)

The final optimized strategy involves 4 instructions sequences not
needing a temporary register.

Otherwise we sadly fully decompose using a temp..

Example, from ALU64_XOR_K: 0x0000ffffffff0000 ^ 0x0 = 0x0000ffffffff0000:

0000000000000000 <foo>:
   0:   9d e3 bf 50     save  %sp, -176, %sp

e3a724edee sparc64: Support cbcond instructions in eBPF JIT.
cbcond combines a compare with a branch into a single instruction.

The limitations are:

1) Only newer chips support it

2) For immediate compares we are limited to 5-bit signed immediate
   values

3) The branch displacement is limited to 10-bit signed

4) We cannot use it for JSET

Also, cbcond (unlike all other sparc control transfers) lacks a delay
slot.

Currently we don't have a useful instruction we can push into the
delay slot of normal branches.  So using cbcond pretty much always
increases code density, and is therefore a win.

395102db44 sparc64: Use LOCKDEP_SMALL, not PROVE_LOCKING_SMALL
CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING_SMALL shrinks the memory usage of lockdep so the
kernel text, data, and bss fit in the required 32MB limit, but this
option is not set for every config that enables lockdep.

A 4.10 kernel fails to boot with the console output

    Kernel: Using 8 locked TLB entries for main kernel image.
    hypervisor_tlb_lock[2000000:0:8000000071c007c3:1]: errors with f
    Program terminated

with these config options

    CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y
    CONFIG_LOCK_STAT=y
    CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=n

To fix, rename CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING_SMALL to CONFIG_LOCKDEP_SMALL, and
enable this option with CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y so we get the reduced memory
usage every time lockdep is turned on.

Tested that CONFIG_LOCKDEP_SMALL is set to 'y' if and only if
CONFIG_LOCKDEP is set to 'y'.  When other lockdep-related config options
that select CONFIG_LOCKDEP are enabled (e.g. CONFIG_LOCK_STAT or
CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING), verified that CONFIG_LOCKDEP_SMALL is also
enabled.

ea875ec94e sparc/sysfs: Replace racy task affinity logic
The mmustat_enable sysfs file accessor functions must run code on the
target CPU. This is achieved by temporarily setting the affinity of the
calling user space thread to the requested CPU and reset it to the original
affinity afterwards.

That's racy vs. concurrent affinity settings for that thread resulting in
code executing on the wrong CPU and overwriting the new affinity setting.

Replace it by using work_on_cpu() which guarantees to run the code on the
requested CPU.

Protection against CPU hotplug is not required as the open sysfs file
already prevents the removal from the CPU offline callback. Using the
hotplug protected version would actually be wrong because it would deadlock
against a CPU hotplug operation of the CPU associated to the sysfs file in
progress.

7fd534247d sparc/time: Set ->min_delta_ticks and ->max_delta_ticks
In preparation for making the clockevents core NTP correction aware,
all clockevent device drivers must set ->min_delta_ticks and
->max_delta_ticks rather than ->min_delta_ns and ->max_delta_ns: a
clockevent device's rate is going to change dynamically and thus, the
ratio of ns to ticks ceases to stay invariant.

Make the sparc arch's clockevent drivers initialize these fields properly.

This patch alone doesn't introduce any change in functionality as the
clockevents core still looks exclusively at the (untouched) ->min_delta_ns
and ->max_delta_ns. As soon as this has changed, a followup patch will
purge the initialization of ->min_delta_ns and ->max_delta_ns from these
drivers.

9ae34dbd8a sparc64: Fix kernel panic due to erroneous #ifdef surrounding pmd_write()
This commit moves sparc64's prototype of pmd_write() outside
of the CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE ifdef.

In 2013, commit a7b9403f0e ("sparc64: Encode huge PMDs using PTE
encoding.") exposed a path where pmd_write() could be called without
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE defined.  This can result in the panic below.

The diff is awkward to read, but the changes are straightforward.
pmd_write() was moved outside of #ifdef CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE.
Also, __HAVE_ARCH_PMD_WRITE was defined.

72c33734b5 Merge branch 'regset' (PTRACE_SETREGSET data leakage)
Merge PTRACE_SETREGSET leakage fixes from Dave Martin:
 "This series is the collection of fixes I proposed on this topic, that
  have not yet appeared upstream or in the stable branches,

  The issue can leak kernel stack, but doesn't appear to allow userspace
  to attack the kernel directly.  The affected architectures are c6x,
  h8300, metag, mips and sparc.

  [ Mark Salter points out that c6x has no MMU or other mechanism to
    prevent userspace access to kernel code or data on c6x, but it
    doesn't hurt to clean that case up too. ]

  The bugs arise from use of user_regset_copyin(). Users of
  user_regset_copyin() can work in one of two ways:

   1) Copy directly to thread_struct or equivalent. (This seems to be
      the design assumption of the regset API, and is the most common
      approach.)

d3805c546b sparc/ptrace: Preserve previous registers for short regset write
Ensure that if userspace supplies insufficient data to PTRACE_SETREGSET
to fill all the registers, the thread's old registers are preserved.

0ae2d26ffe arch/sparc: Avoid DCTI Couples
Avoid un-intended DCTI Couples. Use of DCTI couples is deprecated.
Also address the "Programming Note" for optimal performance.

Here is the complete text from Oracle SPARC Architecture Specs.

6.3.4.7 DCTI Couples
"A delayed control transfer instruction (DCTI) in the delay slot of
another DCTI is referred to as a “DCTI couple”. The use of DCTI couples
is deprecated in the Oracle SPARC Architecture; no new software should
place a DCTI in the delay slot of another DCTI, because on future Oracle
SPARC Architecture implementations DCTI couples may execute either
slowly or differently than the programmer assumes it will.

SPARC V8 and SPARC V9 Compatibility Note
The SPARC V8 architecture left behavior undefined for a DCTI couple. The
SPARC V9 architecture defined behavior in that case, but as of
UltraSPARC Architecture 2005, use of DCTI couples was deprecated.
Software should not expect high performance from DCTI couples, and
performance of DCTI couples should be expected to decline further in
future processors.

Programming Note
As noted in TABLE 6-5 on page 115, an annulled branch-always
(branch-always with a = 1) instruction is not architecturally a DCTI.
However, since not all implementations make that distinction, for
optimal performance, a DCTI should not be placed in the instruction word
immediately following an annulled branch-always instruction (BA,A or
BPA,A)."

adfae8a5d8 sparc64: kern_addr_valid regression
I encountered this bug when using /proc/kcore to examine the kernel. Plus a
coworker inquired about debugging tools. We computed pa but did
not use it during the maximum physical address bits test. Instead we used
the identity mapped virtual address which will always fail this test.

I believe the defect came in here:
[bpicco@zareason linus.git]$ git describe --contains bb4e6e85da
v3.18-rc1~87^2~4
