a7330c997d asmlinkage Make __stack_chk_failed and memcmp visible
In LTO symbols implicitely referenced by the compiler need
to be visible. Earlier these symbols were visible implicitely
from being exported, but we disabled implicit visibility fo
 EXPORTs when modules are disabled to improve code size. So
now these symbols have to be marked visible explicitely.

Do this for __stack_chk_fail (with stack protector)
and memcmp.

6583327c4d x86, hweight: Fix BUG when booting with CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y
Commit d61931d89b, "x86: Add optimized popcnt variants" introduced
compile flag -fcall-saved-rdi for lib/hweight.c. When combined with
options -fprofile-arcs and -O2, this flag causes gcc to generate
broken constructor code. As a result, a 64 bit x86 kernel compiled
with CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y prints message "gcov: could not create
file" and runs into sproadic BUGs during boot.

The gcc people indicate that these kinds of problems are endemic when
using ad hoc calling conventions.  It is therefore best to treat any
file compiled with ad hoc calling conventions as an isolated
environment and avoid things like profiling or coverage analysis,
since those subsystems assume a "normal" calling conventions.

This patch avoids the bug by excluding lib/hweight.o from coverage
profiling.

12b13835a0 kbuild: don't enable DEBUG_INFO when building for COMPILE_TEST
It really isn't very interesting to have DEBUG_INFO when doing compile
coverage stuff (you wouldn't want to run the result anyway, that's kind
of the whole point of COMPILE_TEST), and it currently makes the build
take longer and use much more disk space for "all{yes,mod}config".

There's somewhat active discussion about this still, and we might end up
with some new config option for things like this (Andi points out that
the silly X86_DECODER_SELFTEST option also slows down the normal
coverage tests hugely), but I'm starting the ball rolling with this
simple one-liner.

DEBUG_INFO isn't that noticeable if you have tons of memory and a good
IO subsystem, but it hurts you a lot if you don't - for very little
upside for the common use.

8a10bc9d27 parisc/sti_console: prefer Linux fonts over built-in ROM fonts
The built-in ROM fonts lack many necessary ASCII characters, which is
why it makes sens to prefer the Linux fonts instead if they are
available.  This makes consoles on STI graphics cards which are not
supported by the stifb driver (e.g. Visualize FXe) looks much nicer.

59f2e7df57 dma-debug: fix overlap detection
Commit 0abdd7a81b ("dma-debug: introduce debug_dma_assert_idle()") was
reworked to expand the overlap counter to the full range expressable by
3 tag bits, but it has a thinko in treating the overlap counter as a
pure reference count for the entry.

Instead of deleting when the reference-count drops to zero, we need to
delete when the overlap-count drops below zero.  Also, when detecting
overflow we can just test the overlap-count > MAX rather than applying
special meaning to 0.

Regression report available here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=139073373932386&w=2

This patch, now tested on the original net_dma case, sees the expected
handful of reports before the eventual data corruption occurs.

This patch addresses a bug where connection reset would hang
indefinately once percpu_ida_alloc() was starved for tags, due
to the fact that it always assumed uninterruptible sleep mode.

So now make percpu_ida_alloc() check for signal_pending_state() for
making interruptible sleep optional, and convert iscsit_allocate_cmd()
to set TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE for GFP_KERNEL, or TASK_RUNNING for
GFP_ATOMIC.

3e2a4c183a test: check copy_to/from_user boundary validation
To help avoid an architecture failing to correctly check kernel/user
boundaries when handling copy_to_user, copy_from_user, put_user, or
get_user, perform some simple tests and fail to load if any of them
behave unexpectedly.

Specifically, this is to make sure there is a way to notice if things
like what was fixed in commit 8404663f81 ("ARM: 7527/1: uaccess:
explicitly check __user pointer when !CPU_USE_DOMAINS") ever regresses
again, for any architecture.

Additionally, adds new "user" selftest target, which loads this module.

93e9ef83f4 test: add minimal module for verification testing
This is a pair of test modules I'd like to see in the tree.  Instead of
putting these in lkdtm, where I've been adding various tests that trigger
crashes, these don't make sense there since they need to be either
distinctly separate, or their pass/fail state don't need to crash the
machine.

These live in lib/ for now, along with a few other in-kernel test modules,
and use the slightly more common "test_" naming convention, instead of
"test-".  We should likely standardize on the former:

$ find . -name 'test_*.c' | grep -v /tools/ | wc -l
4
$ find . -name 'test-*.c' | grep -v /tools/ | wc -l
2

The first is entirely a no-op module, designed to allow simple testing of
the module loading and verification interface.  It's useful to have a
module that has no other uses or dependencies so it can be reliably used
for just testing module loading and verification.

The second is a module that exercises the user memory access functions, in
an effort to make sure that we can quickly catch any regressions in
boundary checking (e.g.  like what was recently fixed on ARM).

This patch (of 2):

When doing module loading verification tests (for example, with module
signing, or LSM hooks), it is very handy to have a module that can be
built on all systems under test, isn't auto-loaded at boot, and has no
device or similar dependencies.  This creates the "test_module.ko" module
for that purpose, which only reports its load and unload to printk.
