1cb81b143f x86, bts, mm: clean up buffer allocation
The current mm interface is asymetric. One function allocates a locked
buffer, another function only refunds the memory.

Change this to have two functions for accounting and refunding locked
memory, respectively; and do the actual buffer allocation in ptrace.

[ Impact: refactor BTS buffer allocation code ]

47788c58e6 tracing/syscalls: use a dedicated file header
Impact: fix build warnings and possibe compat misbehavior on IA64

Building a kernel on ia64 might trigger these ugly build warnings:

CC      arch/ia64/ia32/sys_ia32.o
In file included from arch/ia64/ia32/sys_ia32.c:55:
arch/ia64/ia32/ia32priv.h:290:1: warning: "elf_check_arch" redefined
In file included from include/linux/elf.h:7,
                 from include/linux/module.h:14,
                 from include/linux/ftrace.h:8,
                 from include/linux/syscalls.h:68,
                 from arch/ia64/ia32/sys_ia32.c:18:
arch/ia64/include/asm/elf.h:19:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition
[...]

sys_ia32.c includes linux/syscalls.h which in turn includes linux/ftrace.h
to import the syscalls tracing prototypes.

But including ftrace.h can pull too much things for a low level file,
especially on ia64 where the ia32 private headers conflict with higher
level headers.

Now we isolate the syscall tracing headers in their own lightweight file.

de79f54f53 x86, bts, hw-branch-tracer: add _noirq variants to the debug store interface
The hw-branch-tracer uses debug store functions from an on_each_cpu()
context, which is simply wrong since the functions may sleep.

Add _noirq variants for most functions, which  may be called with
interrupts disabled.

Separate per-cpu and per-task tracing and allow per-cpu tracing to be
controlled from any cpu.

Make the hw-branch-tracer use the new debug store interface, synchronize
with hotplug cpu event using get/put_online_cpus(), and remove the
unnecessary spinlock.

Make the ptrace bts and the ds selftest code use the new interface.

Defer the ds selftest.

e2b371f00a mm, x86, ptrace, bts: defer branch trace stopping
When a ptraced task is unlinked, we need to stop branch tracing for
that task.

Since the unlink is called with interrupts disabled, and we need
interrupts enabled to stop branch tracing, we defer the work.

Collect all branch tracing related stuff in a branch tracing context.

43918f2bf4 signals: remove 'handler' parameter to tracehook functions
Container-init must behave like global-init to processes within the
container and hence it must be immune to unhandled fatal signals from
within the container (i.e SIG_DFL signals that terminate the process).

But the same container-init must behave like a normal process to processes
in ancestor namespaces and so if it receives the same fatal signal from a
process in ancestor namespace, the signal must be processed.

Implementing these semantics requires that send_signal() determine pid
namespace of the sender but since signals can originate from workqueues/
interrupt-handlers, determining pid namespace of sender may not always be
possible or safe.

This patchset implements the design/simplified semantics suggested by
Oleg Nesterov.  The simplified semantics for container-init are:

	- container-init must never be terminated by a signal from a
	  descendant process.

	- container-init must never be immune to SIGKILL from an ancestor
	  namespace (so a process in parent namespace must always be able
	  to terminate a descendant container).

	- container-init may be immune to unhandled fatal signals (like
	  SIGUSR1) even if they are from ancestor namespace. SIGKILL/SIGSTOP
	  are the only reliable signals to a container-init from ancestor
	  namespace.

This patch:

Based on an earlier patch submitted by Oleg Nesterov and comments from
Roland McGrath (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/19/258).

The handler parameter is currently unused in the tracehook functions.
Besides, the tracehook functions are called with siglock held, so the
functions can check the handler if they later need to.

Removing the parameter simiplifies changes to sig_ignored() in a follow-on
patch.

ccbe495caa x86-64: syscall-audit: fix 32/64 syscall hole
On x86-64, a 32-bit process (TIF_IA32) can switch to 64-bit mode with
ljmp, and then use the "syscall" instruction to make a 64-bit system
call.  A 64-bit process make a 32-bit system call with int $0x80.

In both these cases, audit_syscall_entry() will use the wrong system
call number table and the wrong system call argument registers.  This
could be used to circumvent a syscall audit configuration that filters
based on the syscall numbers or argument details.

9f339e7028 x86, ptrace, mm: fix double-free on race
Ptrace_detach() races with __ptrace_unlink() if the traced task is
reaped while detaching. This might cause a double-free of the BTS
buffer.

Change the ptrace_detach() path to only do the memory accounting in
ptrace_bts_detach() and leave the buffer free to ptrace_bts_untrace()
which will be called from __ptrace_unlink().

The fix follows a proposal from Oleg Nesterov.

ccbeed3a05 x86: make lazy %gs optional on x86_32
Impact: pt_regs changed, lazy gs handling made optional, add slight
        overhead to SAVE_ALL, simplifies error_code path a bit

On x86_32, %gs hasn't been used by kernel and handled lazily.  pt_regs
doesn't have place for it and gs is saved/loaded only when necessary.
In preparation for stack protector support, this patch makes lazy %gs
handling optional by doing the followings.

* Add CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and place for gs in pt_regs.

* Save and restore %gs along with other registers in entry_32.S unless
  LAZY_GS.  Note that this unfortunately adds "pushl $0" on SAVE_ALL
  even when LAZY_GS.  However, it adds no overhead to common exit path
  and simplifies entry path with error code.

* Define different user_gs accessors depending on LAZY_GS and add
  lazy_save_gs() and lazy_load_gs() which are noop if !LAZY_GS.  The
  lazy_*_gs() ops are used to save, load and clear %gs lazily.

* Define ELF_CORE_COPY_KERNEL_REGS() which always read %gs directly.

xen and lguest changes need to be verified.

d9a89a26e0 x86: add %gs accessors for x86_32
Impact: cleanup

On x86_32, %gs is handled lazily.  It's not saved and restored on
kernel entry/exit but only when necessary which usually is during task
switch but there are few other places.  Currently, it's done by
calling savesegment() and loadsegment() explicitly.  Define
get_user_gs(), set_user_gs() and task_user_gs() and use them instead.

While at it, clean up register access macros in signal.c.

This cleans up code a bit and will help future changes.

Currently a SIGTRAP can denote any one of below reasons.
	- Breakpoint hit
	- H/W debug register hit
	- Single step
	- Signal sent through kill() or rasie()

Architectures like powerpc/parisc provides infrastructure to demultiplex
SIGTRAP signal by passing down the information for receiving SIGTRAP through
si_code of siginfot_t structure. Here is an attempt is generalise this
infrastructure by extending it to x86 and x86_64 archs.

to be sure our bookkeeping stays correct wrt the user's view of TF.

d4d6715016 x86 ptrace: unify syscall tracing
This unifies and cleans up the syscall tracing code on i386 and x86_64.

Using a single function for entry and exit tracing on 32-bit made the
do_syscall_trace() into some terrible spaghetti.  The logic is clear and
simple using separate syscall_trace_enter() and syscall_trace_leave()
functions as on 64-bit.

The unification adds PTRACE_SYSEMU and PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP support
on x86_64, for 32-bit ptrace() callers and for 64-bit ptrace() callers
tracing either 32-bit or 64-bit tasks.  It behaves just like 32-bit.

Changing syscall_trace_enter() to return the syscall number shortens
all the assembly paths, while adding the SYSEMU feature in a simple way.

45fdc3a762 x86 ptrace: fix PTRACE_GETFPXREGS error
ptrace has always returned only -EIO for all failures to access
registers.  The user_regset calls are allowed to return a more
meaningful variety of errors.  The REGSET_XFP calls use -ENODEV
for !cpu_has_fxsr hardware.  Make ptrace return the traditional
-EIO instead of the error code from the user_regset call.

1f465f4e47 x86: user_regset_view table fix for ia32 on 64-bit
The user_regset_view table for the 32-bit regsets on the 64-bit build had
the wrong sizes for the FP regsets.  This bug had no user-visible effect
(just on kernel modules using the user_regset interfaces and the like).
But the fix is trivial and risk-free.

93fa7636df x86, ptrace: PEBS support
Polish the ds.h interface and add support for PEBS.

Ds.c is meant to be the resource allocator for per-thread and per-cpu
BTS and PEBS recording.
It is used by ptrace/utrace to provide execution tracing of debugged tasks.
It will be used by profilers (e.g. perfmon2).
It may be used by kernel debuggers to provide a kernel execution trace.

Changes in detail:
- guard DS and ptrace by CONFIG macros
- separate DS and BTS more clearly
- simplify field accesses
- add functions to manage PEBS buffers
- add simple protection/allocation mechanism
- added support for Atom

Opens:
- buffer overflow handling
  Currently, only circular buffers are supported. This is all we need
  for debugging. Profilers would want an overflow notification.
  This is planned to be added when perfmon2 is made to use the ds.h
  interface.
- utrace intermediate layer

40f0933d51 x86: ia32 syscall restart fix
The code to restart syscalls after signals depends on checking for a
negative orig_ax, and for particular negative -ERESTART* values in ax.
These fields are 64 bits and for a 32-bit task they get zero-extended.
The syscall restart behavior is lost, a regression from a native 32-bit
kernel and from 64-bit tasks' behavior.

This patch fixes the problem by doing sign-extension where it matters.

For orig_ax, the only time the value should be -1 but winds up as
0x0ffffffff is via a 32-bit ptrace call. So the patch changes ptrace to
sign-extend the 32-bit orig_eax value when it's stored; it doesn't
change the checks on orig_ax, though it uses the new current_syscall()
inline to better document the subtle importance of the used of
signedness there.

The ax value is stored a lot of ways and it seems hard to get them all
sign-extended at their origins. So for that, we use the
current_syscall_ret() to sign-extend it only for 32-bit tasks at the
time of the -ERESTART* comparisons.

84c6f6046c x86_64: make ptrace always sign-extend orig_ax to 64 bits
This makes 64-bit ptrace calls setting the 64-bit orig_ax field for a
32-bit task sign-extend the low 32 bits up to 64.  This matches what a
64-bit debugger expects when tracing a 32-bit task.

This follows on my "x86_64 ia32 syscall restart fix".  This didn't
matter until that was fixed.

The debugger ignores or zeros the high half of every register slot it
sets (including the orig_rax pseudo-register) uniformly.  It expects
that the setting of the low 32 bits always has the same meaning as a
32-bit debugger setting those same 32 bits with native 32-bit
facilities.

This never arose before because the syscall restart check never
matched any -ERESTART* values due to lack of sign extension.  Before
that fix, even 32-bit ptrace setting orig_eax to -1 failed to trigger
the restart check anyway.  So this was never noticed as a regression
of 64-bit debuggers vs 32-bit debuggers on the same 64-bit kernel.
