When the function tracer starts modifying the code via breakpoints
it sets a variable (modifying_ftrace_code) to inform the breakpoint
handler to call the ftrace int3 code.
But there's no synchronization between setting this code and the
handler, thus it is possible for the handler to be called on another
CPU before it sees the variable. This will cause a kernel crash as
the int3 handler will not know what to do with it.
I originally added smp_mb()'s to force the visibility of the variable
but H. Peter Anvin suggested that I just make it atomic.

Pull first series of signal handling cleanups from Al Viro:
"This is just the first part of the queue (about a half of it);
assorted fixes all over the place in signal handling.
This one ends with all sigsuspend() implementations switched to
generic one (->saved_sigmask-based).
With this, a bunch of assorted old buglets are fixed and most of the
missing bits of NOTIFY_RESUME hookup are in place. Two more fixes sit
in arm and um trees respectively, and there's a couple of broken ones
that need obvious fixes - parisc and avr32 check TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME

Pull user namespace enhancements from Eric Biederman:
"This is a course correction for the user namespace, so that we can
reach an inexpensive, maintainable, and reasonably complete
implementation.
Highlights:
- Config guards make it impossible to enable the user namespace and
code that has not been converted to be user namespace safe.
- Use of the new kuid_t type ensures the if you somehow get past the
config guards the kernel will encounter type errors if you enable
user namespaces and attempt to compile in code whose permission
checks have not been updated to be user namespace safe.
- All uids from child user namespaces are mapped into the initial
user namespace before they are processed. Removing the need to add
an additional check to see if the user namespace of the compared
uids remains the same.
- With the user namespaces compiled out the performance is as good or
better than it is today.
- For most operations absolutely nothing changes performance or
operationally with the user namespace enabled.
- The worst case performance I could come up with was timing 1
billion cache cold stat operations with the user namespace code
enabled. This went from 156s to 164s on my laptop (or 156ns to
164ns per stat operation).
- (uid_t)-1 and (gid_t)-1 are reserved as an internal error value.
Most uid/gid setting system calls treat these value specially
anyway so attempting to use -1 as a uid would likely cause
entertaining failures in userspace.
- If setuid is called with a uid that can not be mapped setuid fails.
I have looked at sendmail, login, ssh and every other program I
could think of that would call setuid and they all check for and
handle the case where setuid fails.
- If stat or a similar system call is called from a context in which
we can not map a uid we lie and return overflowuid. The LFS
experience suggests not lying and returning an error code might be
better, but the historical precedent with uids is different and I
can not think of anything that would break by lying about a uid we
can't map.
- Capabilities are localized to the current user namespace making it
safe to give the initial user in a user namespace all capabilities.
My git tree covers all of the modifications needed to convert the core
kernel and enough changes to make a system bootable to runlevel 1."

Pull the MCA deletion branch from Paul Gortmaker:
"It was good that we could support MCA machines back in the day, but
realistically, nobody is using them anymore. They were mostly limited
to 386-sx 16MHz CPU and some 486 class machines and never more than
64MB of RAM. Even the enthusiast hobbyist community seems to have
dried up close to ten years ago, based on what you can find searching
various websites dedicated to the relatively short lived hardware.
So lets remove the support relating to CONFIG_MCA. There is no point
carrying this forward, wasting cycles doing routine maintenance on it;
wasting allyesconfig build time on validating it, wasting I/O on git
grep'ping over it, and so on."
Let's see if anybody screams. It generally has compiled, and James
Bottomley pointed out that there was a MCA extension from NCR that
allowed for up to 4GB of memory and PPro-class machines. So in *theory*
there may be users out there.
But even James (technically listed as a maintainer) doesn't actually
have a system, and while Alan Cox claims to have a machine in his cellar
that he offered to anybody who wants to take it off his hands, he didn't
argue for keeping MCA support either.
So we could bring it back. But somebody had better speak up and talk
about how they have actually been using said MCA hardware with modern
kernels for us to do that. And David already took the patch to delete
all the networking driver code (commit a5e371f61a: "drivers/net:
delete all code/drivers depending on CONFIG_MCA").
* 'delete-mca' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux:

scsi: delete the MCA specific drivers and driver code
serial: delete the MCA specific 8250 support.

Main features:
- RAID10 arrays can be reshapes - adding and removing devices and
changing chunks (not 'far' array though)
- allow RAID5 arrays to be reshaped with a backup file (not tested
yet, but the priciple works fine for RAID10).
- arrays can be reshaped while a bitmap is present - you no longer
need to remove it first
- SSSE3 support for RAID6 syndrome calculations
and of course a number of minor fixes etc.

On x86 a number of fixes and changes were needed to allow build-time
sorting of the exception table, in particular a relocation invariant
exception table format was needed. This required the abstracting out
of exception table protocol and the removal of 20 years of accumulated
assumptions about the x86 exception table format.
While at it, this tree also cleans up various other aspects of
exception handling, such as early(er) exception handling for
rdmsr_safe() et al.
All in one, as the result of these changes the x86 exception code is
now pretty nice and modern. As an added bonus any regressions in this
code will be early and violent crashes, so if you see any of those,
you'll know whom to blame!"

There is no point having the NET dependency on the select target, as it

also for future "selectable" config symbols.
Fix up all users to drop the dependency on NET now that it is not
required to supress warnings for non-NET builds.

This teaches vfs_fstat() to use the appropriate f[get|put]_light
functions, allowing it to avoid some unnecessary locking for the common
case.
More noticeably, it also cleans up and simplifies the "getname_flags()"
function, which now relies on the architecture strncpy_from_user() doing
all the user access checks properly, instead of hacking around the fact
that on x86 it didn't use to do it right (see commit 92ae03f2ef: "x86:
merge 32/64-bit versions of 'strncpy_from_user()' and speed it up").
* vfs-cleanups:
VFS: make vfs_fstat() use f[get|put]_light()
VFS: clean up and simplify getname_flags()
x86: make word-at-a-time strncpy_from_user clear bytes at the end
This makes cp_new_stat() a bit more readable, and avoids having to
memset() the whole structure just to fill in a couple of padding fields.
This is another result of me looking at code generation of functions
that show up high on certain kernel profiles, and just going "Oh, let's
just clean that up".
Architectures that don't supply the #define to fill just the padding
fields will still fall back to memset().
* stat-cleanups:
vfs: don't force a big memset of stat data just to clear padding fields
vfs: de-crapify "cp_new_stat()" function

Pull x86 linker bug workarounds from Peter Anvin.
GNU ld-2.22.52.0.[12] (*) has an unfortunate bug where it incorrectly
turns certain relocation entries absolute. Section-relative symbols
that are part of otherwise empty sections are silently changed them to
absolute. We rely on section-relative symbols staying section-relative,
and actually have several sections in the linker script solely for this
purpose.
See for example
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14052
We could just black-list the buggy linker, but it appears that it got
shipped in at least F17, and possibly other distros too, so it's sadly
not some rare unusual case.
This backports the workaround from the x86/trampoline branch, and as
Peter says: "This is not a minimal fix, not at all, but it is a tested
code base."

x86, relocs: Workaround for binutils 2.22.52.0.1 section bug
x86, realmode: 16-bit real-mode code support for relocs tool
(*) That's a manly release numbering system. Stupid, sure. But manly.
When the relocs tool throws an error, let the error message say if it
is an absolute or relative symbol. This should make it a lot more
clear what action the programmer needs to take and should help us find
the reason if additional symbol bugs show up.

GNU ld 2.22.52.0.1 has a bug that it blindly changes symbols from
section-relative to absolute if they are in a section of zero length.
This turns the symbols __init_begin and __init_end into absolute
symbols. Let the relocs program know that those should be treated as
relative symbols.

A new option is added to the relocs tool called '--realmode'.
This option causes the generation of 16-bit segment relocations
and 32-bit linear relocations for the real-mode code. When
the real-mode code is moved to the low-memory during kernel
initialization, these relocation entries can be used to
relocate the code properly.
In the assembly code 16-bit segment relocations must be relative
to the 'real_mode_seg' absolute symbol. Linear relocations must be
relative to a symbol prefixed with 'pa_'.
16-bit segment relocation is used to load cs:ip in 16-bit code.
Linear relocations are used in the 32-bit code for relocatable
data references. They are declared in the linker script of the
real-mode code.
The relocs tool is moved to arch/x86/tools/relocs.c, and added new
target archscripts that can be used to build scripts needed building
an architecture. be compiled before building the arch/x86 tree.
[ hpa: accelerating this because it detects invalid absolute
relocations, a serious bug in binutils 2.22.52.0.x which currently
produces bad kernels. ]

When finding a present and acceptable 2M/1G mapping, the number
of pages mapped this way shouldn't be incremented (as it was
already incremented when the earlier part of the mapping was
established). Instead, last_map_addr needs to be updated in this
case.
Further, address increments were wrong in one place each in both
phys_pmd_init() and phys_pud_init() (lacking the aligning down
to the respective page boundary).
As we're now doing the same calculation several times, fold it
into a single instance using a local variable (matching how
kernel_physical_mapping_init() itself does it at the PGD level).
Observed during code inspection, not because of an actual
problem.
