Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "Some clean ups and small fixes, but the biggest change is the addition
  of the TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro that can be used by tracepoints.

  Tracepoints have helper functions for the TP_printk() called
  __print_symbolic() and __print_flags() that lets a numeric number be
  displayed as a a human comprehensible text.  What is placed in the
  TP_printk() is also shown in the tracepoint format file such that user
  space tools like perf and trace-cmd can parse the binary data and
  express the values too.  Unfortunately, the way the TRACE_EVENT()
  macro works, anything placed in the TP_printk() will be shown pretty
  much exactly as is.  The problem arises when enums are used.  That's
  because unlike macros, enums will not be changed into their values by
  the C pre-processor.  Thus, the enum string is exported to the format
  file, and this makes it useless for user space tools.

  The TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() solves this by converting the enum strings in
  the TP_printk() format into their number, and that is what is shown to
  user space.  For example, the tracepoint tlb_flush currently has this
  in its format file:

     __print_symbolic(REC->reason,
        { TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH, "flush on task switch" },
        { TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN, "remote shootdown" },
        { TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN, "local shootdown" },
        { TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN, "local mm shootdown" })

  After adding:

     TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH);
     TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN);
     TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN);
     TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN);

  Its format file will contain this:

     __print_symbolic(REC->reason,
        { 0, "flush on task switch" },
        { 1, "remote shootdown" },
        { 2, "local shootdown" },
        { 3, "local mm shootdown" })"

8cb2c2dc47 livepatch: Fix subtle race with coming and going modules
There is a notifier that handles live patches for coming and going modules.
It takes klp_mutex lock to avoid races with coming and going patches but
it does not keep the lock all the time. Therefore the following races are
possible:

  1. The notifier is called sometime in STATE_MODULE_COMING. The module
     is visible by find_module() in this state all the time. It means that
     new patch can be registered and enabled even before the notifier is
     called. It might create wrong order of stacked patches, see below
     for an example.

   2. New patch could still see the module in the GOING state even after
      the notifier has been called. It will try to initialize the related
      object structures but the module could disappear at any time. There
      will stay mess in the structures. It might even cause an invalid
      memory access.

This patch solves the problem by adding a boolean variable into struct module.
The value is true after the coming and before the going handler is called.
New patches need to be applied when the value is true and they need to ignore
the module when the value is false.

Note that we need to know state of all modules on the system. The races are
related to new patches. Therefore we do not know what modules will get
patched.

Also note that we could not simply ignore going modules. The code from the
module could be called even in the GOING state until mod->exit() finishes.
If we start supporting patches with semantic changes between function
calls, we need to apply new patches to any still usable code.
See below for an example.

Finally note that the patch solves only the situation when a new patch is
registered. There are no such problems when the patch is being removed.
It does not matter who disable the patch first, whether the normal
disable_patch() or the module notifier. There is nothing to do
once the patch is disabled.

Alternative solutions:
======================

+ reject new patches when a patched module is coming or going; this is ugly

+ wait with adding new patch until the module leaves the COMING and GOING
  states; this might be dangerous and complicated; we would need to release
  kgr_lock in the middle of the patch registration to avoid a deadlock
  with the coming and going handlers; also we might need a waitqueue for
  each module which seems to be even bigger overhead than the boolean

+ stop modules from entering COMING and GOING states; wait until modules
  leave these states when they are already there; looks complicated; we would
  need to ignore the module that asked to stop the others to avoid a deadlock;
  also it is unclear what to do when two modules asked to stop others and
  both are in COMING state (situation when two new patches are applied)

+ always register/enable new patches and fix up the potential mess (registered
  patches order) in klp_module_init(); this is nasty and prone to regressions
  in the future development

+ add another MODULE_STATE where the kallsyms are visible but the module is not
  used yet; this looks too complex; the module states are checked on "many"
  locations

Example of patch stacking breakage:
===================================

The notifier could _not_ _simply_ ignore already initialized module objects.
For example, let's have three patches (P1, P2, P3) for functions a() and b()
where a() is from vmcore and b() is from a module M. Something like:

	a()	b()
P1	a1()	b1()
P2	a2()	b2()
P3	a3()	b3(3)

If you load the module M after all patches are registered and enabled.
The ftrace ops for function a() and b() has listed the functions in this
order:

	ops_a->func_stack -> list(a3,a2,a1)
	ops_b->func_stack -> list(b3,b2,b1)

, so the pointer to b3() is the first and will be used.

Then you might have the following scenario. Let's start with state when patches
P1 and P2 are registered and enabled but the module M is not loaded. Then ftrace
ops for b() does not exist. Then we get into the following race:

CPU0					CPU1

load_module(M)

  complete_formation()

  mod->state = MODULE_STATE_COMING;
  mutex_unlock(&module_mutex);

					klp_register_patch(P3);
					klp_enable_patch(P3);

					# STATE 1

  klp_module_notify(M)
    klp_module_notify_coming(P1);
    klp_module_notify_coming(P2);
    klp_module_notify_coming(P3);

					# STATE 2

The ftrace ops for a() and b() then looks:

  STATE1:

	ops_a->func_stack -> list(a3,a2,a1);
	ops_b->func_stack -> list(b3);

  STATE2:
	ops_a->func_stack -> list(a3,a2,a1);
	ops_b->func_stack -> list(b2,b1,b3);

therefore, b2() is used for the module but a3() is used for vmcore
because they were the last added.

Example of the race with going modules:
=======================================

CPU0					CPU1

delete_module()  #SYSCALL

   try_stop_module()
     mod->state = MODULE_STATE_GOING;

   mutex_unlock(&module_mutex);

					klp_register_patch()
					klp_enable_patch()

					#save place to switch universe

					b()     # from module that is going
					  a()   # from core (patched)

   mod->exit();

Note that the function b() can be called until we call mod->exit().

If we do not apply patch against b() because it is in MODULE_STATE_GOING,
it will call patched a() with modified semantic and things might get wrong.

6301939d97 module: fix types of device tables aliases
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() macro used to create aliases to device tables.
Normally alias should have the same type as aliased symbol.

Device tables are arrays, so they have 'struct type##_device_id[x]'
types. Alias created by MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() will have non-array type -
	'struct type##_device_id'.

This inconsistency confuses compiler, it could make a wrong assumption
about variable's size which leads KASan to produce a false positive report
about out of bounds access.

For every global variable compiler calls __asan_register_globals() passing
information about global variable (address, size, size with redzone, name
...) __asan_register_globals() poison symbols redzone to detect possible
out of bounds accesses.

When symbol has an alias __asan_register_globals() will be called as for
symbol so for alias.  Compiler determines size of variable by size of
variable's type.  Alias and symbol have the same address, so if alias have
the wrong size part of memory that actually belongs to the symbol could be
poisoned as redzone of alias symbol.

By fixing type of alias symbol we will fix size of it, so
__asan_register_globals() will not poison valid memory.

cff26a51da module: remove MODULE_GENERIC_TABLE
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() calles MODULE_GENERIC_TABLE(); make it do the
work directly.  This also removes a wart introduced in the last patch,
where the alias is defined to be an unknown struct type "struct
type##__##name##_device_id" instead of "struct type##_device_id" (it's
an extern so GCC doesn't care, but it's wrong).

The other user of MODULE_GENERIC_TABLE (ISAPNP_CARD_TABLE) is unused,
so delete it.

21bdd17b21 module: allow multiple calls to MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() per module
Commit 78551277e4: "Input: i8042 - add PNP modaliases" had a bug, where the
second call to MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() overrode the first resulting in not all
the modaliases being exposed.

This fixes the problem by including the name of the device_id table in the
__mod_*_device_table alias, allowing us to export several device_id tables
per module.

b2e285fcb4 tracing/module: Replace include of tracepoint.h with jump_label.h in module.h
There's nothing in the module.h header that requires tracepoint.h to be
included, and there may be cases that tracepoint.h may need to include
module.h, which will cause recursive header issues.

But module.h requires seeing HAVE_JUMP_LABEL which is set in jump_label.h
which it just coincidentally gets from tracepoint.h.

It has been deprecated (with a 10 second sleep) in kmod for the last

942e443127 module: Fix mod->mkobj.kobj potentially freed too early
DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE helps to find the issue attached below.

After some investigation, it seems the reason is:
The mod->mkobj.kobj(ffffffffa01600d0 below) is freed together with mod
itself in free_module(). However, its children still hold references to
it, as the delay caused by DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE. So when the
child(holders below) tries to decrease the reference count to its parent
in kobject_del(), BUG happens as it tries to access already freed memory.

This patch tries to fix it by waiting for the mod->mkobj.kobj to be
really released in the module removing process (and some error code
paths).

b92021b09d CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX: cleanup.
We have CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX, which three archs define to the string
"_".  But Al Viro broke this in "consolidate cond_syscall and
SYSCALL_ALIAS declarations" (in linux-next), and he's not the first to
do so.

Using CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is awkward, since we usually just want to
prefix it so something.  So various places define helpers which are
defined to nothing if CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX isn't set:

1) include/asm-generic/unistd.h defines __SYMBOL_PREFIX.
2) include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h defines VMLINUX_SYMBOL(sym)
3) include/linux/export.h defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
4) include/linux/kernel.h defines SYMBOL_PREFIX (which differs from #7)
5) kernel/modsign_certificate.S defines ASM_SYMBOL(sym)
6) scripts/modpost.c defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX
7) scripts/Makefile.lib defines SYMBOL_PREFIX on the commandline if
   CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is set, so that we have a non-string version
   for pasting.

(arch/h8300/include/asm/linkage.h defines SYMBOL_NAME(), too).

Let's solve this properly:
1) No more generic prefix, just CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
2) Make linux/export.h usable from asm.
3) Define VMLINUX_SYMBOL() and VMLINUX_SYMBOL_STR().
4) Make everyone use them.

0d21b0e347 module: add new state MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED.
You should never look at such a module, so it's excised from all paths
which traverse the modules list.

We add the state at the end, to avoid gratuitous ABI break (ksplice).

106a4ee258 module: signature checking hook
We do a very simple search for a particular string appended to the module
(which is cache-hot and about to be SHA'd anyway).  There's both a config
option and a boot parameter which control whether we accept or fail with
unsigned modules and modules that are signed with an unknown key.

If module signing is enabled, the kernel will be tainted if a module is
loaded that is unsigned or has a signature for which we don't have the
key.

d53799be67 module: move __module_get and try_module_get() out of line.
With the preempt, tracepoint and everything, it's getting a bit
chubby.  For an Ubuntu-based config:

Before:
	$ size -t `find * -name '*.ko'` | grep TOTAL
	56199906        3870760	1606616	61677282	3ad1ee2	(TOTALS)
	$ size vmlinux
	   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
	8509342	 850368	3358720	12718430	 c2115e	vmlinux

After:
	$ size -t `find * -name '*.ko'` | grep TOTAL
	56183760	3867892	1606616	61658268	3acd49c	(TOTALS)
	$ size vmlinux
	   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename

bd77c04772 module: struct module_ref should contains long fields
module_ref contains two "unsigned int" fields.

Thats now too small, since some machines can open more than 2^32 files.

Check commit 518de9b39e (fs: allow for more than 2^31 files) for
reference.

We can add an aligned(2 * sizeof(unsigned long)) attribute to force
alloc_percpu() allocating module_ref areas in single cache lines.

639938eb60 module.h: relocate MODULE_PARM_DESC into moduleparam.h
There are files which use module_param and MODULE_PARM_DESC
back to back.  They only include moduleparam.h which makes sense,
but the implicit presence of module.h everywhere hid the fact
that MODULE_PARM_DESC wasn't in moduleparam.h at all.  Relocate
the macro to moduleparam.h so that the moduleparam infrastructure
can be used independently of module.h
