The help text for this config is duplicated across the x86, parisc, and
s390 Kconfig.debug files. Arnd Bergman noted that the help text was
slightly misleading and should be fixed to state that enabling this
option isn't a problem when using pre 4.4 gcc.
To simplify the rewording, consolidate the text into lib/Kconfig.debug
and modify it there to be more explicit about when you should say N to
this config.
Also, make the text a bit more generic by stating that this option
enables compile time checks so we can cover architectures which emit
warnings vs. ones which emit errors. The details of how an
architecture decided to implement the checks isn't as important as the
concept of compile time checking of copy_from_user() calls.
While we're doing this, remove all the copy_from_user_overflow() code
that's duplicated many times and place it into lib/ so that any
architecture supporting this option can get the function for free.

Implement __get_user_8() for x86-32. It will return the
64-bit result in edx:eax register pair, and ecx is used
to pass in the address and return the error value.
For consistency, change the register assignment for all
other __get_user_x() variants, so that address is passed in
ecx/rcx, the error value is returned in ecx/rcx, and eax/rax
contains the actual value.
[ hpa: I modified the patch so that it does NOT change the calling
conventions for the existing callsites, this also means that the code
is completely unchanged for 64 bits.
Instead, continue to use eax for address input/error output and use
the ecx:edx register pair for the output. ]
This is a partial refresh of a patch [1] by Jamie Lokier from
2004. Only the minimal changes to implement 64bit get_user()
were picked from the original patch.

This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitconst,

Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

problem is that insn_sanity.c #includes arch/x86/lib/insn.c - which uses the
kernel string header. This leads to conflicts for various definitions against
the /usr/include/ headers.
linux/string.h can be replaced with the normal userspace string.h if __KERNEL__

When Supervisor Mode Access Prevention (SMAP) is enabled, access to
userspace from the kernel is controlled by the AC flag. To make the
performance of manipulating that flag acceptable, there are two new
instructions, STAC and CLAC, to set and clear it.
This patch adds those instructions, via alternative(), when the SMAP
feature is enabled. It also adds X86_EFLAGS_AC unconditionally to the
SYSCALL entry mask; there is simply no reason to make that one
conditional.

I noticed that the LBR fixups were not working anymore

a recent change to copy_from_user_nmi():
db0dc75d64 ("perf/x86: Check user address explicitly in copy_from_user_nmi()")
This commit added a call to __range_not_ok() to the
copy_from_user_nmi() routine. The problem is that the logic
of the test must be reversed. __range_not_ok() returns 0 if the
range is VALID. We want to return early from copy_from_user_nmi()
if the range is NOT valid.

Fix the x86 instruction decoder to decode bsr/bsf/jmpe with
operand-size prefix (66h). This fixes the test case failure
reported by Linus, attached below.
bsf/bsr/jmpe have a special encoding. Opcode map in
Intel Software Developers Manual vol2 says they have
TZCNT/LZCNT variants if it has F3h prefix. However, there
is no information if it has other 66h or F2h prefixes.
Current instruction decoder supposes that those are
bad instructions, but it actually accepts at least
operand-size prefixes.
H. Peter Anvin further explains:
" TZCNT/LZCNT are F3 + BSF/BSR exactly because the F2 and
F3 prefixes have historically been no-ops with most instructions.
This allows software to unconditionally use the prefixed versions
and get TZCNT/LZCNT on the processors that have them if they don't
care about the difference. "

This throws away the old x86-specific functions in favor of the generic
optimized version.
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
The generic strncpy_from_user() is not really optimal, since it is
designed to work on both little-endian and big-endian. And on
little-endian you can simplify much of the logic to find the first zero
byte, since little-endian arithmetic doesn't have to worry about the
carry bit propagating into earlier bytes (only later bytes, which we
don't care about).
But I have patches to make the generic routines use the architecture-
specific <asm/word-at-a-time.h> infrastructure, so that we can regain
the little-endian optimizations. But before we do that, switch over to
the generic routines to make the patches each do just one well-defined
thing.

Pull exception table generation updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The biggest change here is to allow the build-time sorting of the
exception table, to speed up booting. This is achieved by the
architecture enabling BUILDTIME_EXTABLE_SORT. This option is enabled
for x86 and MIPS currently.
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!"
Fix up trivial conflicts in arch/{mips,x86}/Kconfig files due to nearby
modifications of other core architecture options.

...
This makes the newly optimized x86 strncpy_from_user clear the final
bytes in the word past the final NUL character, rather than copy them as
the word they were in the source.
NOTE! Unlike the silly semantics of the libc 'strncpy()' function, the
kernel strncpy_from_user() has never cleared all of the end of the
destination buffer. And neither does it do so now: it only clears the
bytes at the end of the last word it copied.
So why make this change at all? It doesn't really cost us anything extra
(we have to calculate the mask to get the length anyway), and it means
that *if* any user actually cares about zeroing the whole buffer, they
can do a "memset()" before the strncpy_from_user(), and we will no
longer write random bytes after the NUL character.
In particular, the buffer contents will now at no point contain random
source data from beyond the end of the string.
In other words, it makes behavior a bit more repeatable at no new cost,
so it's a small cleanup. I've been carrying this as a patch for the
last few weeks or so in my tree (done at the same time the sign error
was fixed in commit 12e993b894), I might as well commit it.
