3c88c692c2 x86/stackframe/32: Provide consistent pt_regs
Currently pt_regs on x86_32 has an oddity in that kernel regs
(!user_mode(regs)) are short two entries (esp/ss). This means that any
code trying to use them (typically: regs->sp) needs to jump through
some unfortunate hoops.

Change the entry code to fix this up and create a full pt_regs frame.

This then simplifies various trampolines in ftrace and kprobes, the
stack unwinder, ptrace, kdump and kgdb.

Much thanks to Josh for help with the cleanups!

Pull x86 irq updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Here are the main changes in this tree:

   - Introduce x86-64 IRQ/exception/debug stack guard pages to detect
     stack overflows immediately and deterministically.

   - Clean up over a decade worth of cruft accumulated.

  The outcome of this should be more clear-cut faults/crashes when any
  of the low level x86 CPU stacks overflow, instead of silent memory
  corruption and sporadic failures much later on"

d15d356887 perf/x86: Make perf callchains work without CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER
Currently perf callchain doesn't work well with ORC unwinder
when sampling from trace point. We'll get useless in kernel callchain
like this:

perf  6429 [000]    22.498450:             kmem:mm_page_alloc: page=0x176a17 pfn=1534487 order=0 migratetype=0 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL
    ffffffffbe23e32e __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x22e (/lib/modules/5.1.0-rc3+/build/vmlinux)
	7efdf7f7d3e8 __poll+0x18 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.28.so)
	5651468729c1 [unknown] (/usr/bin/perf)
	5651467ee82a main+0x69a (/usr/bin/perf)
	7efdf7eaf413 __libc_start_main+0xf3 (/usr/lib64/libc-2.28.so)
    5541f689495641d7 [unknown] ([unknown])

The root cause is that, for trace point events, it doesn't provide a
real snapshot of the hardware registers. Instead perf tries to get
required caller's registers and compose a fake register snapshot
which suppose to contain enough information for start a unwinding.
However without CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER, if failed to get caller's BP as the
frame pointer, so current frame pointer is returned instead. We get
a invalid register combination which confuse the unwinder, and end the
stacktrace early.

So in such case just don't try dump BP, and let the unwinder start
directly when the register is not a real snapshot. Use SP
as the skip mark, unwinder will skip all the frames until it meet
the frame of the trace point caller.

Tested with frame pointer unwinder and ORC unwinder, this makes perf
callchain get the full kernel space stacktrace again like this:

perf  6503 [000]  1567.570191:             kmem:mm_page_alloc: page=0x16c904 pfn=1493252 order=0 migratetype=0 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL

3207426925 x86/exceptions: Disconnect IST index and stack order
The entry order of the TSS.IST array and the order of the stack
storage/mapping are not required to be the same.

With the upcoming split of the debug stack this is going to fall apart as
the number of TSS.IST array entries stays the same while the actual stacks
are increasing.

Make them separate so that code like dumpstack can just utilize the mapping
order. The IST index is solely required for the actual TSS.IST array
initialization.

changed the 64-bit version to KERN_DEFAULT. The same justification in

true for 32-bit also, so make it so.

4fe2d8b11a x86/entry: Rename SYSENTER_stack to CPU_ENTRY_AREA_entry_stack
If the kernel oopses while on the trampoline stack, it will print
"<SYSENTER>" even if SYSENTER is not involved.  That is rather confusing.

The "SYSENTER" stack is used for a lot more than SYSENTER now.  Give it a
better string to display in stack dumps, and rename the kernel code to
match.

Also move the 32-bit code over to the new naming even though it still uses
the entry stack only for SYSENTER.

33a2f1a6c4 x86/dumpstack: Add get_stack_info() support for the SYSENTER stack

b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
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.

2c96b2fe9c x86/unwind: Include __schedule() in stack traces
In the following commit:

  0100301bfd ("sched/x86: Rewrite the switch_to() code")

... the layout of the 'inactive_task_frame' struct was designed to have
a frame pointer header embedded in it, so that the unwinder could use
the 'bp' and 'ret_addr' fields to report __schedule() on the stack (or
ret_from_fork() for newly forked tasks which haven't actually run yet).

Finish the job by changing get_frame_pointer() to return a pointer to
inactive_task_frame's 'bp' field rather than 'bp' itself.  This allows
the unwinder to start one frame higher on the stack, so that it properly
reports __schedule().

84936118bd x86/unwind: Disable KASAN checks for non-current tasks
There are a handful of callers to save_stack_trace_tsk() and
show_stack() which try to unwind the stack of a task other than current.
In such cases, it's remotely possible that the task is running on one
CPU while the unwinder is reading its stack from another CPU, causing
the unwinder to see stack corruption.

These cases seem to be mostly harmless.  The unwinder has checks which
prevent it from following bad pointers beyond the bounds of the stack.
So it's not really a bug as long as the caller understands that
unwinding another task will not always succeed.

In such cases, it's possible that the unwinder may read a KASAN-poisoned
region of the stack.  Account for that by using READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() when
reading the stack of another task.

Use READ_ONCE() when reading the stack of the current task, since KASAN
warnings can still be useful for finding bugs in that case.

3d02a9c48d x86/dumpstack: Make stack name tags more comprehensible
NMI stack dumps are bracketed by the following tags:

  <NMI>
  ...
  <EOE>

The ending tag is kind of confusing if you don't already know what "EOE"
means (end of exception).  The same ending tag is also used to mark the
end of all other exceptions' stacks.  For example:

  <#DF>
  ...
  <EOE>

And similarly, "EOI" is used as the ending tag for interrupts:

  <IRQ>
  ...
  <EOI>

Change the tags to be more comprehensible by making them symmetrical and
more XML-esque:

  <NMI>
  ...
  </NMI>

  <#DF>
  ...
  </#DF>

  <IRQ>
  ...
  </IRQ>

0ee1dd9f5e x86/dumpstack: Remove raw stack dump
For mostly historical reasons, the x86 oops dump shows the raw stack
values:

  ...
  [registers]
  Stack:
   ffff880079af7350 ffff880079905400 0000000000000000 ffffc900008f3ae0
   ffffffffa0196610 0000000000000001 00010000ffffffff 0000000087654321
   0000000000000002 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000
  Call Trace:
  ...

This seems to be an artifact from long ago, and probably isn't needed
anymore.  It generally just adds noise to the dump, and it can be
actively harmful because it leaks kernel addresses.

Linus says:

  "The stack dump actually goes back to forever, and it used to be
   useful back in 1992 or so. But it used to be useful mainly because
   stacks were simpler and we didn't have very good call traces anyway. I
   definitely remember having used them - I just do not remember having
   used them in the last ten+ years.

   Of course, it's still true that if you can trigger an oops, you've
   likely already lost the security game, but since the stack dump is so
   useless, let's aim to just remove it and make games like the above
   harder."

This also removes the related 'kstack=' cmdline option and the
'kstack_depth_to_print' sysctl.

e18bcccd1a x86/dumpstack: Convert show_trace_log_lvl() to use the new unwinder
Convert show_trace_log_lvl() to use the new unwinder.  dump_trace() has
been deprecated.

show_trace_log_lvl() is special compared to other users of the unwinder.
It's the only place where both reliable *and* unreliable addresses are
needed.  With frame pointers enabled, most callers of the unwinder don't
want to know about unreliable addresses.  But in this case, when we're
dumping the stack to the console because something presumably went
wrong, the unreliable addresses are useful:

- They show stale data on the stack which can provide useful clues.

- If something goes wrong with the unwinder, or if frame pointers are
  corrupt or missing, all the stack addresses still get shown.

So in order to show all addresses on the stack, and at the same time
figure out which addresses are reliable, we have to do the scanning and
the unwinding in parallel.

The scanning is done with the help of get_stack_info() to traverse the
stacks.  The unwinding is done separately by the new unwinder.

In theory we could simplify show_trace_log_lvl() by instead pushing some
of this logic into the unwind code.  But then we would need some kind of
"fake" frame logic in the unwinder which would add a lot of complexity
and wouldn't be worth it in order to support only one user.

Another benefit of this approach is that once we have a DWARF unwinder,
we should be able to just plug it in with minimal impact to this code.

Another change here is that callers of show_trace_log_lvl() don't need
to provide the 'bp' argument.  The unwinder already finds the relevant
frame pointer by unwinding until it reaches the first frame after the
provided stack pointer.

81539169f2 x86/dumpstack: Remove NULL task pointer convention
show_stack_log_lvl() and friends allow a NULL pointer for the
task_struct to indicate the current task.  This creates confusion and
can cause sneaky bugs.

Instead require the caller to pass 'current' directly.

This only changes the internal workings of the dumpstack code.  The
dump_trace() and show_stack() interfaces still allow a NULL task
pointer.  Those interfaces should also probably be fixed as well.

cb76c93982 x86/dumpstack: Add get_stack_info() interface
valid_stack_ptr() is buggy: it assumes that all stacks are of size
THREAD_SIZE, which is not true for exception stacks.  So the
walk_stack() callbacks will need to know the location of the beginning
of the stack as well as the end.

Another issue is that in general the various features of a stack (type,
size, next stack pointer, description string) are scattered around in
various places throughout the stack dump code.

Encapsulate all that information in a single place with a new stack_info
struct and a get_stack_info() interface.

e8e999cf3c x86, dumpstack: Correct stack dump info when frame pointer is available
Current stack dump code scans entire stack and check each entry
contains a pointer to kernel code. If CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y it
could mark whether the pointer is valid or not based on value of
the frame pointer. Invalid entries could be preceded by '?' sign.

However this was not going to happen because scan start point
was always higher than the frame pointer so that they could not
meet.

Commit 9c0729dc80 ("x86: Eliminate bp argument from the stack
tracing routines") delayed bp acquisition point, so the bp was
read in lower frame, thus all of the entries were marked
invalid.

This patch fixes this by reverting above commit while retaining
stack_frame() helper as suggested by Frederic Weisbecker.

9c0729dc80 x86: Eliminate bp argument from the stack tracing routines
The various stack tracing routines take a 'bp' argument in which the
caller is supposed to provide the base pointer to use, or 0 if doesn't
have one. Since bp is garbage whenever CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not
defined, this means all callers in principle should either always pass
0, or be conditional on CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER.

However, there are only really three use cases for stack tracing:

(a) Trace the current task, including IRQ stack if any
(b) Trace the current task, but skip IRQ stack
(c) Trace some other task

In all cases, if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not defined, bp should just
be 0.  If it _is_ defined, then

- in case (a) bp should be gotten directly from the CPU's register, so
  the caller should pass NULL for regs,

- in case (b) the caller should should pass the IRQ registers to
  dump_trace(),

- in case (c) bp should be gotten from the top of the task's stack, so
  the caller should pass NULL for regs.

Hence, the bp argument is not necessary because the combination of
task and regs is sufficient to determine an appropriate value for bp.

This patch introduces a new inline function stack_frame(task, regs)
that computes the desired bp. This function is then called from the
two versions of dump_stack().

0fb8ee48d9 perf: Drop useless check for ignored frame
The check that ignores the debug and nmi stack frames is useless
now that we have a frame pointer that makes us start at the
right place. We don't anymore have to deal with these.

06d65bda75 perf events, x86/stacktrace: Fix performance/softlockup by providing a special frame pointer-only stack walker
It's just wasteful for stacktrace users like perf to walk
through every entries on the stack whereas these only accept
reliable ones, ie: that the frame pointer validates.

Since perf requires pure reliable stacktraces, it needs a stack
walker based on frame pointers-only to optimize the stacktrace
processing.

This might solve some near-lockup scenarios that can be triggered
by call-graph tracing timer events.

61c1917f47 perf events, x86/stacktrace: Make stack walking optional
The current print_context_stack helper that does the stack
walking job is good for usual stacktraces as it walks through
all the stack and reports even addresses that look unreliable,
which is nice when we don't have frame pointers for example.

But we have users like perf that only require reliable
stacktraces, and those may want a more adapted stack walker, so
lets make this function a callback in stacktrace_ops that users
can tune for their needs.

0406ca6d8e perf_counter: Ignore the nmi call frames in the x86-64 backtraces
About every callchains recorded with perf record are filled up
including the internal perfcounter nmi frame:

 perf_callchain
 perf_counter_overflow
 intel_pmu_handle_irq
 perf_counter_nmi_handler
 notifier_call_chain
 atomic_notifier_call_chain
 notify_die
 do_nmi
 nmi

We want ignore this frame as it's not interesting for
instrumentation. To solve this, we simply ignore every frames
from nmi context.

New example of "perf report -s sym -c" after this patch:

For now this patch only solves the problem in x86-64.

a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless.
