commit 06325190bd577e11429444d54f454b9d13f560c9 upstream.
Just like for other ISA extension instruction uses we should check
whether the assembler actually supports them. The fallback here simply
is to encode an instruction with fixed operands (%eax and %ecx).

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
1) BPF debugger and asm tool by Daniel Borkmann.
2) Speed up create/bind in AF_PACKET, also from Daniel Borkmann.
3) Correct reciprocal_divide and update users, from Hannes Frederic
Sowa and Daniel Borkmann.
4) Currently we only have a "set" operation for the hw timestamp socket
ioctl, add a "get" operation to match. From Ben Hutchings.
5) Add better trace events for debugging driver datapath problems, also
from Ben Hutchings.
6) Implement auto corking in TCP, from Eric Dumazet. Basically, if we
have a small send and a previous packet is already in the qdisc or
device queue, defer until TX completion or we get more data.
7) Allow userspace to manage ipv6 temporary addresses, from Jiri Pirko.
8) Add a qdisc bypass option for AF_PACKET sockets, from Daniel
Borkmann.
9) Share IP header compression code between Bluetooth and IEEE802154
layers, from Jukka Rissanen.
10) Fix ipv6 router reachability probing, from Jiri Benc.
11) Allow packets to be captured on macvtap devices, from Vlad Yasevich.
12) Support tunneling in GRO layer, from Jerry Chu.
13) Allow bonding to be configured fully using netlink, from Scott
Feldman.
14) Allow AF_PACKET users to obtain the VLAN TPID, just like they can
already get the TCI. From Atzm Watanabe.
15) New "Heavy Hitter" qdisc, from Terry Lam.
16) Significantly improve the IPSEC support in pktgen, from Fan Du.
17) Allow ipv4 tunnels to cache routes, just like sockets. From Tom
Herbert.
18) Add Proportional Integral Enhanced packet scheduler, from Vijay
Subramanian.
19) Allow openvswitch to mmap'd netlink, from Thomas Graf.
20) Key TCP metrics blobs also by source address, not just destination
address. From Christoph Paasch.
21) Support 10G in generic phylib. From Andy Fleming.
22) Try to short-circuit GRO flow compares using device provided RX
hash, if provided. From Tom Herbert.
The wireless and netfilter folks have been busy little bees too.

Pull x86 cpufeature and mpx updates from Peter Anvin:
"This includes the basic infrastructure for MPX (Memory Protection
Extensions) support, but does not include MPX support itself. It is,
however, a prerequisite for KVM support for MPX, which I believe will
be pushed later this merge window by the KVM team.
This includes moving the functionality in
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() into a new function in uaccess.h so it
can be reused - this will be used by the final MPX patches.
The actual MPX functionality (map management and so on) will be pushed
in a future merge window, when ready"

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
and hence don't need to include <linux/init.h>. Most are just a

We introduce a new hashing library that is meant to be used in
the contexts where speed is more important than uniformity of the
hashed values. The hash library leverages architecture specific
implementation to achieve high performance and fall backs to
jhash() for the generic case.
On Intel-based x86 architectures, the library can exploit the crc32l
instruction, part of the Intel SSE4.2 instruction set, if the
instruction is supported by the processor. This implementation
is twice as fast as the jhash() implementation on an i7 processor.
Additional architectures, such as Arm64 provide instructions for
accelerating the computation of CRC, so they could be added as well
in follow-up work.

When we are using lea to produce a 32-bit result, we can use the leal
form, rather than using leaq and worry about truncation elsewhere.
Make the leal explicit, both to be more obvious and since that is what
gcc generates and thus is less likely to trigger obscure gas bugs.

The arch_perf_output_copy_user() default of
__copy_from_user_inatomic() returns bytes not copied, while all other
argument functions given DEFINE_OUTPUT_COPY() return bytes copied.
Since copy_from_user_nmi() is the odd duck out by returning bytes
copied where all other *copy_{to,from}* functions return bytes not
copied, change it over and ammend DEFINE_OUTPUT_COPY() to expect bytes
not copied.
Oddly enough DEFINE_OUTPUT_COPY() already returned bytes not copied
while expecting its worker functions to return bytes copied.

Now that we can deal with nested NMI due to IRET re-enabling NMIs and
can deal with faults from NMI by making sure we preserve CR2 over NMIs
we can in fact simply access user-space memory from NMI context.
So rewrite copy_from_user_nmi() to use __copy_from_user_inatomic() and
rework the fault path to do the minimal required work before taking
the in_atomic() fault handler.
In particular avoid perf_sw_event() which would make perf recurse on
itself (it should be harmless as our recursion protections should be
able to deal with this -- but why tempt fate).
Also rename notify_page_fault() to kprobes_fault() as that is a much
better name; there is no notifier in it and its specific to kprobes.
Don measured that his worst case NMI path shrunk from ~300K cycles to
~150K cycles.

Similarly to copy_from_user(), where the range check is to
protect against kernel memory corruption, copy_to_user() can
benefit from such checking too: Here it protects against kernel
information leaks.

Commits 4a3127693001c61a21d1ce680db6340623f52e93 ("x86: Turn the
copy_from_user check into an (optional) compile time warning")
and 63312b6a6faae3f2e5577f2b001e3b504f10a2aa ("x86: Add a
Kconfig option to turn the copy_from_user warnings into errors")
touched only the 32-bit variant of copy_from_user(), whereas the
original commit 9f0cf4adb6aa0bfccf675c938124e68f7f06349d ("x86:
Use __builtin_object_size() to validate the buffer size for
copy_from_user()") also added the same code to the 64-bit one.
Further the earlier conversion from an inline WARN() to the call
to copy_from_user_overflow() went a little too far: When the
number of bytes to be copied is not a constant (e.g. [looking at
3.11] in drivers/net/tun.c:__tun_chr_ioctl() or
drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aer_inject.c:aer_inject_write()), the
compiler will always have to keep the funtion call, and hence
there will always be a warning. By using __builtin_constant_p()
we can avoid this.
And then this slightly extends the effect of
CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS in that apart from
converting warnings to errors in the constant size case, it
retains the (possibly wrong) warnings in the non-constant size
case, such that if someone is prepared to get a few false
positives, (s)he'll be able to recover the current behavior
(except that these diagnostics now will never be converted to
errors).
Since the 32-bit variant (intentionally) didn't call
might_fault(), the unification results in this being called
twice now. Adding a suitable #ifdef would be the alternative if
that's a problem.
I'd like to point out though that with
__compiletime_object_size() being restricted to gcc before 4.6,
the whole construct is going to become more and more pointless
going forward. I would question however that commit
2fb0815c9ee6b9ac50e15dd8360ec76d9fa46a2 ("gcc4: disable
__compiletime_object_size for GCC 4.6+") was really necessary,
and instead this should have been dealt with as is done here
from the beginning.

"As a preparation for Andi Kleen's LTO patchset (link time
optimizations using GCC's -flto which build time optimization has
steadily increased in quality over the past few years and might
eventually be usable for the kernel too) this tree includes a handful
of preparatory patches that make function calling convention
annotations consistent again:
- Mark every function without arguments (or 64bit only) that is used
by assembly code with asmlinkage()
- Mark every function with parameters or variables that is used by
assembly code as __visible.
For the vanilla kernel this has documentation, consistency and
debuggability advantages, for the time being"

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.

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
on programs where they used to. I tracked this down to
a recent change to copy_from_user_nmi():
db0dc75d640 ("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 fixes errors reported by test_get_len:

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!"

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 12e993b89464), I might as well commit it.

arch/x86/lib/usercopy_32.c
Remove open-coded exception table entries in arch/x86/lib/usercopy_32.c,
and replace them with _ASM_EXTABLE() macros; this will allow us to
change the format and type of the exception table entries.
