On m68k natural alignment is 2-byte boundary but we are trying to
align structures in __modver section on sizeof(void *) boundary.
This causes trouble when we try to access elements in this section
in array-like fashion when create "version" attributes for built-in
modules.
Moreover, as DaveM said, we can't reliably put structures into
independent objects, put them into a special section, and then expect
array access over them (via the section boundaries) after linking the
objects together to just "work" due to variable alignment choices in
different situations. The only solution that seems to work reliably
is to make an array of plain pointers to the objects in question and
put those pointers in the special section.

Since users of the function tracer can now pick and choose which
functions they want to trace agnostically from other users of the
function tracer, we need to pass the ops struct to the ftrace_set_filter()
functions.
The functions ftrace_set_global_filter() and ftrace_set_global_notrace()
is added to keep the old filter functions which are used to modify
the generic function tracers.

Now that functions may be selected individually, it only makes sense
that we should allow dynamically allocated trace structures to
be traced. This will allow perf to allocate a ftrace_ops structure
at runtime and use it to pick and choose which functions that
structure will trace.
Note, a dynamically allocated ftrace_ops will always be called
indirectly instead of being called directly from the mcount in
entry.S. This is because there's no safe way to prevent mcount
from being preempted before calling the function, unless we
modify every entry.S to do so (not likely). Thus, dynamically allocated
functions will now be called by the ftrace_ops_list_func() that
loops through the ops that are allocated if there are more than
one op allocated at a time. This loop is protected with a
preempt_disable.
To determine if an ftrace_ops structure is allocated or not, a new
util function was added to the kernel/extable.c called
core_kernel_data(), which returns 1 if the address is between
_sdata and _edata.

ftrace_ops that are registered to trace functions can now be
agnostic to each other in respect to what functions they trace.
Each ops has their own hash of the functions they want to trace
and a hash to what they do not want to trace. A empty hash for
the functions they want to trace denotes all functions should
be traced that are not in the notrace hash.

Add the enabled_functions file that is used to show all the
functions that have been enabled for tracing as well as their
ref counts. This helps seeing if any function has been registered
and what functions are being traced.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
Every function has its own record that stores the instruction
pointer and flags for the function to be traced. There are only
two flags: enabled and free. The enabled flag states that tracing
for the function has been enabled (actively traced), and the free
flag states that the record no longer points to a function and can
be used by new functions (loaded modules).
These flags are now moved to the MSB of the flags (actually just
the top 32bits). The rest of the bits (30 bits) are now used as
a ref counter. Everytime a tracer register functions to trace,
those functions will have its counter incremented.
When tracing is enabled, to determine if a function should be traced,
the counter is examined, and if it is non-zero it is set to trace.
When a ftrace_ops is registered to trace functions, its hashes
are examined. If the ftrace_ops filter_hash count is zero, then
all functions are set to be traced, otherwise only the functions
in the hash are to be traced. The exception to this is if a function
is also in the ftrace_ops notrace_hash. Then that function's counter
is not incremented for this ftrace_ops.

When filtering, allocate a hash to insert the function records.
After the filtering is complete, assign it to the ftrace_ops structure.
This allows the ftrace_ops structure to have a much smaller array of
hash buckets instead of wasting a lot of memory.
A read only empty_hash is created to be the minimum size that any ftrace_ops
can point to.
When a new hash is created, it has the following steps:
o Allocate a default hash.
o Walk the function records assigning the filtered records to the hash
o Allocate a new hash with the appropriate size buckets
o Move the entries from the default hash to the new hash.

Combine the filter and notrace hashes to be accessed by a single entity,
the global_ops. The global_ops is a ftrace_ops structure that is passed
to different functions that can read or modify the filtering of the
function tracer.
The ftrace_ops structure was modified to hold a filter and notrace
hashes so that later patches may allow each ftrace_ops to have its own
set of rules to what functions may be filtered.

When multiple users are allowed to have their own set of functions
to trace, having the FTRACE_FL_FILTER flag will not be enough to

temporary until the rest of the function filtering accounting
gets in.

To prepare for the accounting system that will allow multiple users of
the function tracer, having the FTRACE_FL_NOTRACE as a flag in the
dyn_trace record does not make sense.
All ftrace_ops will soon have a hash of functions they should trace

Commit b826291c, "drivercore/dt: add a match table pointer to struct
device" added an of_match pointer to struct device to cache the
of_match_table entry discovered at driver match time. This was unsafe
because matching is not an atomic operation with probing a driver. If
two or more drivers are attempted to be matched to a driver at the
same time, then the cached matching entry pointer could get
overwritten.
This patch reverts the of_match cache pointer and reworks all users to
call of_match_device() directly instead.

If two drivers are probing devices at the same time, both will write

Only write the result if the device matches.
In a thread titled "SBus devices sometimes detected, sometimes not",
Meelis reported his SBus hme was not detected about 50% of the time.
From the debug suggested by Grant it was obvious another driver matched
some devices between the call to match the hme and the hme discovery

configfs_readdir() will use the existing inode numbers of inodes in the
dcache, but it makes them up for attribute files that aren't currently
instantiated. There is a race where a closing attribute file can be
tearing down at the same time as configfs_readdir() is trying to get its
inode number.
We want to get the inode number of open attribute files, because they
should match while instantiated. We can't lock down the transition
where dentry->d_inode is set to NULL, so we just check for NULL there.
We can, however, ensure that an inode we find isn't iput() in
configfs_d_iput() until after we've accessed it.

As reported in BZ #30352:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30352
there's a kernel bug related to reading the last allowed page on x86_64.
The _copy_to_user() and _copy_from_user() functions use the following
check for address limit:
if (buf + size >= limit)
fail();
while it should be more permissive:
if (buf + size > limit)
fail();
That's because the size represents the number of bytes being
read/write from/to buf address AND including the buf address.
So the copy function will actually never touch the limit
address even if "buf + size == limit".
Following program fails to use the last page as buffer
due to the wrong limit check:
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <assert.h>
#define PAGE_SIZE (4096)
#define LAST_PAGE ((void*)(0x7fffffffe000))
int main()
{
int fds[2], err;
void * ptr = mmap(LAST_PAGE, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_FIXED, -1, 0);
assert(ptr == LAST_PAGE);
err = socketpair(AF_LOCAL, SOCK_STREAM, 0, fds);
assert(err == 0);
err = send(fds[0], ptr, PAGE_SIZE, 0);
perror("send");
assert(err == PAGE_SIZE);
err = recv(fds[1], ptr, PAGE_SIZE, MSG_WAITALL);
perror("recv");
assert(err == PAGE_SIZE);
return 0;
}
The other place checking the addr limit is the access_ok() function,
which is working properly. There's just a misleading comment
for the __range_not_ok() macro - which this patch fixes as well.
The last page of the user-space address range is a guard page and
Brian Gerst observed that the guard page itself due to an erratum on K8 cpus
(#121 Sequential Execution Across Non-Canonical Boundary Causes Processor
Hang).
However, the test code is using the last valid page before the guard page.
The bug is that the last byte before the guard page can't be read
because of the off-by-one error. The guard page is left in place.
This bug would normally not show up because the last page is
part of the process stack and never accessed via syscalls.

When configfs is faking mkdir() on its subsystem or default group
objects, it starts by adding a negative dentry. It then tries to

itself.
I was using d_delete() here, but configfs_attach_group() promises to
return an empty dentry on error. d_delete() explodes with the entry
dentry. Let's try d_drop() instead. The unhashing is what we want for

os_dump_core() uses abort() to terminate UML in case of an fatal error.
glibc's abort() calls raise(SIGABRT) which makes use of tgkill().
tgkill() has no effect within UML's kernel threads because they are not

terminate the process. Therefore UML gets killed by SIGSEGV and leaves a
