Michal Nazarewicz 8f57e4d930 include/linux/kernel.h: change abs() macro so it uses consistent return type
Rewrite abs() so that its return type does not depend on the
architecture and no unexpected type conversion happen inside of it.  The
only conversion is from unsigned to signed type.  char is left as a
return type but treated as a signed type regradless of it's actual
signedness.

With the old version, int arguments were promoted to long and depending
on architecture a long argument might result in s64 or long return type
(which may or may not be the same).

This came after some back and forth with Nicolas.  The current macro has
different return type (for the same input type) depending on
architecture which might be midly iritating.

An alternative version would promote to int like so:

	#define abs(x)	__abs_choose_expr(x, long long,			\
			__abs_choose_expr(x, long,			\
			__builtin_choose_expr(				\
				sizeof(x) <= sizeof(int),		\
				({ int __x = (x); __x<0?-__x:__x; }),	\
				((void)0))))

I have no preference but imagine Linus might.  :] Nicolas argument against
is that promoting to int causes iconsistent behaviour:

	int main(void) {
		unsigned short a = 0, b = 1, c = a - b;
		unsigned short d = abs(a - b);
		unsigned short e = abs(c);
		printf("%u %u\n", d, e);  // prints: 1 65535
	}

Then again, no sane person expects consistent behaviour from C integer
arithmetic.  ;)

Note:

  __builtin_types_compatible_p(unsigned char, char) is always false, and
  __builtin_types_compatible_p(signed char, char) is also always false.

Hidehiro Kawai 58c5661f21 panic, x86: Allow CPUs to save registers even if looping in NMI context
Currently, kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus(), a subroutine of crash_kexec(),
sends an NMI IPI to CPUs which haven't called panic() to stop them,
save their register information and do some cleanups for crash dumping.
However, if such a CPU is infinitely looping in NMI context, we fail to
save its register information into the crash dump.

For example, this can happen when unknown NMIs are broadcast to all
CPUs as follows:

  CPU 0                             CPU 1
  ===========================       ==========================
  receive an unknown NMI
  unknown_nmi_error()
    panic()                         receive an unknown NMI
      spin_trylock(&panic_lock)     unknown_nmi_error()
      crash_kexec()                   panic()
                                        spin_trylock(&panic_lock)
                                        panic_smp_self_stop()
                                          infinite loop
        kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus()
          issue NMI IPI -----------> blocked until IRET
                                          infinite loop...

Here, since CPU 1 is in NMI context, the second NMI from CPU 0 is
blocked until CPU 1 executes IRET. However, CPU 1 never executes IRET,
so the NMI is not handled and the callback function to save registers is
never called.

In practice, this can happen on some servers which broadcast NMIs to all
CPUs when the NMI button is pushed.

To save registers in this case, we need to:

  a) Return from NMI handler instead of looping infinitely
  or
  b) Call the callback function directly from the infinite loop

Inherently, a) is risky because NMI is also used to prevent corrupted
data from being propagated to devices.  So, we chose b).

This patch does the following:

1. Move the infinite looping of CPUs which haven't called panic() in NMI
   context (actually done by panic_smp_self_stop()) outside of panic() to
   enable us to refer pt_regs. Please note that panic_smp_self_stop() is
   still used for normal context.

2. Call a callback of kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus() directly to save
   registers and do some cleanups after setting waiting_for_crash_ipi which
   is used for counting down the number of CPUs which handled the callback

Hidehiro Kawai 1717f2096b panic, x86: Fix re-entrance problem due to panic on NMI
If panic on NMI happens just after panic() on the same CPU, panic() is
recursively called. Kernel stalls, as a result, after failing to acquire
panic_lock.

To avoid this problem, don't call panic() in NMI context if we've
already entered panic().

For that, introduce nmi_panic() macro to reduce code duplication. In
the case of panic on NMI, don't return from NMI handlers if another CPU
already panicked.

Michal Nazarewicz c8299cb605 kernel.h: make abs() work with 64-bit types
For 64-bit arguments, the abs macro casts it to an int which leads to
lost precision and may cause incorrect results.  To deal with 64-bit
types abs64 macro has been introduced but still there are places where
abs macro is used incorrectly.

To deal with the problem, expand abs macro such that it operates on s64
type when dealing with 64-bit types while still returning long when
dealing with smaller types.

This fixes one known bug (per John):

The internal clocksteering done for fine-grained error correction uses a
: logarithmic approximation, so any time adjtimex() adjusts the clock
: steering, timekeeping_freqadjust() quickly approximates the correct clock
: frequency over a series of ticks.
:
: Unfortunately, the logic in timekeeping_freqadjust(), introduced in commit
: dc491596f6 (Rework frequency adjustments to work better w/ nohz),
: used the abs() function with a s64 error value to calculate the size of
: the approximated adjustment to be made.
:
: Per include/linux/kernel.h: "abs() should not be used for 64-bit types
: (s64, u64, long long) - use abs64()".
:
: Thus on 32-bit platforms, this resulted in the clocksteering to take a
: quite dampended random walk trying to converge on the proper frequency,
: which caused the adjustments to be made much slower then intended (most
: easily observed when large adjustments are made).

Rasmus Villemoes 0a9df786a6 lib/kasprintf.c: introduce kvasprintf_const
This adds kvasprintf_const which tries to use kstrdup_const if possible:
If the format string contains no % characters, or if the format string is
exactly "%s", we delegate to kstrdup_const.  Otherwise, we fall back to
kvasprintf.

Just as for kstrdup_const, the main motivation is to save memory by
reusing .rodata when possible.

The return value should be freed by kfree_const, just like for
kstrdup_const.

There is deliberately no kasprintf_const: In the vast majority of cases,
the format string argument is a literal, so one can determine statically
whether one could instead use kstrdup_const directly (which would also
require one to change all corresponding kfree calls to kfree_const).

Nicolas Iooss 8db1486065 include, lib: add __printf attributes to several function prototypes
Using __printf attributes helps to detect several format string issues
at compile time (even though -Wformat-security is currently disabled in
Makefile).  For example it can detect when formatting a pointer as a
number, like the issue fixed in commit a3fa71c40f ("wl18xx: show
rx_frames_per_rates as an array as it really is"), or when the arguments
do not match the format string, c.f.  for example commit 5ce1aca814
("reiserfs: fix __RASSERT format string").

To prevent similar bugs in the future, add a __printf attribute to every
function prototype which needs one in include/linux/ and lib/.  These
functions were mostly found by using gcc's -Wsuggest-attribute=format
flag.

Linus Torvalds 02201e3f1b Minor merge needed, due to function move.
Main excitement here is Peter Zijlstra's lockless rbtree optimization to
 speed module address lookup.  He found some abusers of the module lock
 doing that too.
 
 A little bit of parameter work here too; including Dan Streetman's breaking
 up the big param mutex so writing a parameter can load another module (yeah,
 really).  Unfortunately that broke the usual suspects, !CONFIG_MODULES and
 !CONFIG_SYSFS, so those fixes were appended too.
 
 Cheers,
 Rusty.

HATAYAMA Daisuke 5375b708f2 kernel/panic/kexec: fix "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" option issue in oops path
Commit f06e5153f4 ("kernel/panic.c: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers"
option for kdump after panic_notifers") introduced
"crash_kexec_post_notifiers" kernel boot option, which toggles wheather
panic() calls crash_kexec() before panic_notifiers and dump kmsg or after.

The problem is that the commit overlooks panic_on_oops kernel boot option.
 If it is enabled, crash_kexec() is called directly without going through
panic() in oops path.

To fix this issue, this patch adds a check to "crash_kexec_post_notifiers"
in the condition of kexec_should_crash().

Also, put a comment in kexec_should_crash() to explain not obvious things
on this patch.

Linus Torvalds e382608254 This patch series contains several clean ups and even a new trace clock
"monitonic raw". Also some enhancements to make the ring buffer even
 faster. But the biggest and most noticeable change is the renaming of
 the ftrace* files, structures and variables that have to deal with
 trace events.
 
 Over the years I've had several developers tell me about their confusion
 with what ftrace is compared to events. Technically, "ftrace" is the
 infrastructure to do the function hooks, which include tracing and also
 helps with live kernel patching. But the trace events are a separate
 entity altogether, and the files that affect the trace events should
 not be named "ftrace". These include:
 
   include/trace/ftrace.h	->	include/trace/trace_events.h
   include/linux/ftrace_event.h	->	include/linux/trace_events.h
 
 Also, functions that are specific for trace events have also been renamed:
 
   ftrace_print_*()		->	trace_print_*()
   (un)register_ftrace_event()	->	(un)register_trace_event()
   ftrace_event_name()		->	trace_event_name()
   ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled()->	trace_trigger_soft_disabled()
   ftrace_define_fields_##call() ->	trace_define_fields_##call()
   ftrace_get_offsets_##call()	->	trace_get_offsets_##call()
 
 Structures have been renamed:
 
   ftrace_event_file		->	trace_event_file
   ftrace_event_{call,class}	->	trace_event_{call,class}
   ftrace_event_buffer		->	trace_event_buffer
   ftrace_subsystem_dir		->	trace_subsystem_dir
   ftrace_event_raw_##call	->	trace_event_raw_##call
   ftrace_event_data_offset_##call->	trace_event_data_offset_##call
   ftrace_event_type_funcs_##call ->	trace_event_type_funcs_##call
 
 And a few various variables and flags have also been updated.
 
 This has been sitting in linux-next for some time, and I have not heard
 a single complaint about this rename breaking anything. Mostly because
 these functions, variables and structures are mostly internal to the
 tracing system and are seldom (if ever) used by anything external to that.

    include/linux/ftrace_event.h   ->    include/linux/trace_events.h

  Also, functions that are specific for trace events have also been renamed:

    ftrace_print_*()               ->    trace_print_*()
    (un)register_ftrace_event()    ->    (un)register_trace_event()
    ftrace_event_name()            ->    trace_event_name()
    ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled() ->    trace_trigger_soft_disabled()
    ftrace_define_fields_##call()  ->    trace_define_fields_##call()
    ftrace_get_offsets_##call()    ->    trace_get_offsets_##call()

  Structures have been renamed:

    ftrace_event_file              ->    trace_event_file
    ftrace_event_{call,class}      ->    trace_event_{call,class}
    ftrace_event_buffer            ->    trace_event_buffer
    ftrace_subsystem_dir           ->    trace_subsystem_dir
    ftrace_event_raw_##call        ->    trace_event_raw_##call
    ftrace_event_data_offset_##call->    trace_event_data_offset_##call
    ftrace_event_type_funcs_##call ->    trace_event_type_funcs_##call

  And a few various variables and flags have also been updated.

  This has been sitting in linux-next for some time, and I have not
  heard a single complaint about this rename breaking anything.  Mostly
  because these functions, variables and structures are mostly internal
  to the tracing system and are seldom (if ever) used by anything

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 3c6296f716 ring-buffer: Remove useless unused tracing_off_permanent()
The tracing_off_permanent() call is a way to disable all ring_buffers.
Nothing uses it and nothing should use it, as tracing_off() and
friends are better, as they disable the ring buffers related to
tracing. The tracing_off_permanent() even disabled non tracing
ring buffers. This is a bit drastic, and was added to handle NMIs
doing outputs that could corrupt the ring buffer when only tracing
used them. It is now obsolete and adds a little overhead, it should
be removed.

Gobinda Charan Maji 28b8d0c8f5 sysfs: tightened sysfs permission checks
There were some inconsistency in restriction to VERIFY_OCTAL_PERMISSIONS().
Previously the test was "User perms >= group perms >= other perms". The
permission field of User, Group or Other consists of three bits. LSB is
EXECUTE permission, MSB is READ permission and the middle bit is WRITE
permission. But logically WRITE is "more privileged" than READ.

Say for example, permission value is "0430". Here User has only READ
permission whereas Group has both WRITE and EXECUTE permission.

So, the checks could be tightened and the tests are separated to
USER_READABLE >= GROUP_READABLE >= OTHER_READABLE,
USER_WRITABLE >= GROUP_WRITABLE and OTHER_WRITABLE is not permitted.

David Hildenbrand 9ec23531fd sched/preempt, mm/fault: Trigger might_sleep() in might_fault() with disabled pagefaults
Commit 662bbcb274 ("mm, sched: Allow uaccess in atomic with
pagefault_disable()") removed might_sleep() checks for all user access
code (that uses might_fault()).

The reason was to disable wrong "sleep in atomic" warnings in the
following scenario:

    pagefault_disable()
    rc = copy_to_user(...)
    pagefault_enable()

Which is valid, as pagefault_disable() increments the preempt counter
and therefore disables the pagefault handler. copy_to_user() will not
sleep and return an error code if a page is not available.

However, as all might_sleep() checks are removed,
CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP would no longer detect the following scenario:

    spin_lock(&lock);
    rc = copy_to_user(...)
    spin_unlock(&lock)

If the kernel is compiled with preemption turned on, preempt_disable()
will make in_atomic() detect disabled preemption. The fault handler would
correctly never sleep on user access.
However, with preemption turned off, preempt_disable() is usually a NOP
(with !CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT), therefore in_atomic() will not be able to
detect disabled preemption nor disabled pagefaults. The fault handler
could sleep.
We really want to enable CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP checks for user access
functions again, otherwise we can end up with horrible deadlocks.

Root of all evil is that pagefault_disable() acts almost as
preempt_disable(), depending on preemption being turned on/off.

As we now have pagefault_disabled(), we can use it to distinguish
whether user acces functions might sleep.

Convert might_fault() into a makro that calls __might_fault(), to
allow proper file + line messages in case of a might_sleep() warning.

Linus Torvalds 1d9c5d79e6 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/livepatching
Pull live patching infrastructure from Jiri Kosina:
 "Let me provide a bit of history first, before describing what is in
  this pile.

  Originally, there was kSplice as a standalone project that implemented
  stop_machine()-based patching for the linux kernel.  This project got
  later acquired, and the current owner is providing live patching as a
  proprietary service, without any intentions to have their
  implementation merged.

  Then, due to rising user/customer demand, both Red Hat and SUSE
  started working on their own implementation (not knowing about each
  other), and announced first versions roughly at the same time [1] [2].

  The principle difference between the two solutions is how they are
  making sure that the patching is performed in a consistent way when it
  comes to different execution threads with respect to the semantic
  nature of the change that is being introduced.

  In a nutshell, kPatch is issuing stop_machine(), then looking at
  stacks of all existing processess, and if it decides that the system
  is in a state that can be patched safely, it proceeds insterting code
  redirection machinery to the patched functions.

  On the other hand, kGraft provides a per-thread consistency during one
  single pass of a process through the kernel and performs a lazy
  contignuous migration of threads from "unpatched" universe to the
  "patched" one at safe checkpoints.

  If interested in a more detailed discussion about the consistency
  models and its possible combinations, please see the thread that
  evolved around [3].

  It pretty quickly became obvious to the interested parties that it's
  absolutely impractical in this case to have several isolated solutions
  for one task to co-exist in the kernel.  During a dedicated Live
  Kernel Patching track at LPC in Dusseldorf, all the interested parties
  sat together and came up with a joint aproach that would work for both
  distro vendors.  Steven Rostedt took notes [4] from this meeting.

  And the foundation for that aproach is what's present in this pull
  request.

  It provides a basic infrastructure for function "live patching" (i.e.
  code redirection), including API for kernel modules containing the
  actual patches, and API/ABI for userspace to be able to operate on the
  patches (look up what patches are applied, enable/disable them, etc).

  It's relatively simple and minimalistic, as it's making use of
  existing kernel infrastructure (namely ftrace) as much as possible.
  It's also self-contained, in a sense that it doesn't hook itself in
  any other kernel subsystem (it doesn't even touch any other code).
  It's now implemented for x86 only as a reference architecture, but
  support for powerpc, s390 and arm is already in the works (adding
  arch-specific support basically boils down to teaching ftrace about
  regs-saving).

  Once this common infrastructure gets merged, both Red Hat and SUSE
  have agreed to immediately start porting their current solutions on
  top of this, abandoning their out-of-tree code.  The plan basically is
  that each patch will be marked by flag(s) that would indicate which
  consistency model it is willing to use (again, the details have been
  sketched out already in the thread at [3]).

  Before this happens, the current codebase can be used to patch a large
  group of secruity/stability problems the patches for which are not too
  complex (in a sense that they don't introduce non-trivial change of
  function's return value semantics, they don't change layout of data
  structures, etc) -- this corresponds to LEAVE_FUNCTION &&
  SWITCH_FUNCTION semantics described at [3].

  This tree has been in linux-next since December.

Linus Torvalds 00845eb968 sched: don't cause task state changes in nested sleep debugging
Commit 8eb23b9f35 ("sched: Debug nested sleeps") added code to report
on nested sleep conditions, which we generally want to avoid because the
inner sleeping operation can re-set the thread state to TASK_RUNNING,
but that will then cause the outer sleep loop not actually sleep when it
calls schedule.

However, that's actually valid traditional behavior, with the inner
sleep being some fairly rare case (like taking a sleeping lock that
normally doesn't actually need to sleep).

And the debug code would actually change the state of the task to
TASK_RUNNING internally, which makes that kind of traditional and
working code not work at all, because now the nested sleep doesn't just
sometimes cause the outer one to not block, but will cause it to happen
every time.

In particular, it will cause the cardbus kernel daemon (pccardd) to
basically busy-loop doing scheduling, converting a laptop into a heater,
as reported by Bruno Prémont.  But there may be other legacy uses of
that nested sleep model in other drivers that are also likely to never
get converted to the new model.

This fixes both cases:

 - don't set TASK_RUNNING when the nested condition happens (note: even
   if WARN_ONCE() only _warns_ once, the return value isn't whether the
   warning happened, but whether the condition for the warning was true.
   So despite the warning only happening once, the "if (WARN_ON(..))"
   would trigger for every nested sleep.

 - in the cases where we knowingly disable the warning by using
   "sched_annotate_sleep()", don't change the task state (that is used
   for all core scheduling decisions), instead use '->task_state_change'
   that is used for the debugging decision itself.

(Credit for the second part of the fix goes to Oleg Nesterov: "Can't we
avoid this subtle change in behaviour DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP adds?" with the
suggested change to use 'task_state_change' as part of the test)

Prarit Bhargava 9e3961a097 kernel: add panic_on_warn
There have been several times where I have had to rebuild a kernel to
cause a panic when hitting a WARN() in the code in order to get a crash
dump from a system.  Sometimes this is easy to do, other times (such as
in the case of a remote admin) it is not trivial to send new images to
the user.

A much easier method would be a switch to change the WARN() over to a
panic.  This makes debugging easier in that I can now test the actual
image the WARN() was seen on and I do not have to engage in remote
debugging.

This patch adds a panic_on_warn kernel parameter and
/proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_warn calls panic() in the
warn_slowpath_common() path.  The function will still print out the
location of the warning.

An example of the panic_on_warn output:

The first line below is from the WARN_ON() to output the WARN_ON()'s
location.  After that the panic() output is displayed.

Peter Zijlstra 1029a2b52c sched, exit: Deal with nested sleeps
do_wait() is a big wait loop, but we set TASK_RUNNING too late; we end
up calling potential sleeps before we reset it.

Not strictly a bug since we're guaranteed to exit the loop and not
call schedule(); put in annotations to quiet might_sleep().

Instead of open-coding clamp_t macro min_t and max_t the way clamp macro
does and instead of open-coding clamp_val simply use clamp_t.
Furthermore, normalise argument naming in the macros to be lo and hi.

Michal Nazarewicz 2e1d06e1c0 include/linux/kernel.h: rewrite min3, max3 and clamp using min and max
It appears that gcc is better at optimising a double call to min and max
rather than open coded min3 and max3.  This can be observed here:

    $ cat min-max.c
    #define min(x, y) ({				\
    	typeof(x) _min1 = (x);			\
    	typeof(y) _min2 = (y);			\
    	(void) (&_min1 == &_min2);		\
    	_min1 < _min2 ? _min1 : _min2; })
    #define min3(x, y, z) ({			\
    	typeof(x) _min1 = (x);			\
    	typeof(y) _min2 = (y);			\
    	typeof(z) _min3 = (z);			\
    	(void) (&_min1 == &_min2);		\
    	(void) (&_min1 == &_min3);		\
    	_min1 < _min2 ? (_min1 < _min3 ? _min1 : _min3) : \
    		(_min2 < _min3 ? _min2 : _min3); })

    int fmin3(int x, int y, int z) { return min3(x, y, z); }
    int fmin2(int x, int y, int z) { return min(min(x, y), z); }

    $ gcc -O2 -o min-max.s -S min-max.c; cat min-max.s

fmin3 function, which uses open-coded min3 macro, is compiled into total
of ten instructions including a conditional branch, whereas fmin2
function, which uses two calls to min2 macro, is compiled into six
instructions with no branches.

Similarly, open-coded clamp produces the same code as clamp using min and
max macros, but the latter is much shorter:

    $ cat clamp.c
    #define clamp(val, min, max) ({			\
    	typeof(val) __val = (val);		\
    	typeof(min) __min = (min);		\
    	typeof(max) __max = (max);		\
    	(void) (&__val == &__min);		\
    	(void) (&__val == &__max);		\
    	__val = __val < __min ? __min: __val;	\
    	__val > __max ? __max: __val; })
    #define min(x, y) ({				\
    	typeof(x) _min1 = (x);			\
    	typeof(y) _min2 = (y);			\
    	(void) (&_min1 == &_min2);		\
    	_min1 < _min2 ? _min1 : _min2; })
    #define max(x, y) ({				\
    	typeof(x) _max1 = (x);			\
    	typeof(y) _max2 = (y);			\
    	(void) (&_max1 == &_max2);		\
    	_max1 > _max2 ? _max1 : _max2; })

    int fclamp(int v, int min, int max) { return clamp(v, min, max); }
    int fclampmm(int v, int min, int max) { return min(max(v, min), max); }

    $ gcc -O2 -o clamp.s -S clamp.c; cat clamp.s

48 bytes reduction.  The do_fault_around was a few instruction shorter
and as far as I can tell saved 12 bytes on the stack, i.e.:

    $ grep -e rsp -e pop -e push do_fault_around.*

or here side-by-side:

    push   %rbp               push   %rbp

    pop    %r13
    pop    %rbp               pop    %rbp

There are also fewer branches:

    $ grep ^j do_fault_around.*

    do_fault_around.before.s:jmp    ffffffff812079c5

VERIFY_OCTAL_PERMISSIONS() as sysfs didn't have the same requirement.
Now all those users are fixed, reintroduce it.

Rusty Russell 58f86cc89c VERIFY_OCTAL_PERMISSIONS: stricter checking for sysfs perms.
Summary of http://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/14/363 :

  Ted: module_param(queue_depth, int, 444)
  Joe: 0444!
  Rusty: User perms >= group perms >= other perms?
  Joe: CLASS_ATTR, DEVICE_ATTR, SENSOR_ATTR and SENSOR_ATTR_2?

Side effect of stricter permissions means removing the unnecessary
S_IFREG from several callers.

Note that the BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO((perm) & 2) test was removed: a fair
number of drivers fail this test, so that will be the debate for a
future patch.

Mathieu Desnoyers 66cc69e34e Fix: module signature vs tracepoints: add new TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE
Users have reported being unable to trace non-signed modules loaded
within a kernel supporting module signature.

This is caused by tracepoint.c:tracepoint_module_coming() refusing to
take into account tracepoints sitting within force-loaded modules
(TAINT_FORCED_MODULE). The reason for this check, in the first place, is
that a force-loaded module may have a struct module incompatible with
the layout expected by the kernel, and can thus cause a kernel crash
upon forced load of that module on a kernel with CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS=y.

Tracepoints, however, specifically accept TAINT_OOT_MODULE and
TAINT_CRAP, since those modules do not lead to the "very likely system
crash" issue cited above for force-loaded modules.

With kernels having CONFIG_MODULE_SIG=y (signed modules), a non-signed
module is tainted re-using the TAINT_FORCED_MODULE taint flag.
Unfortunately, this means that Tracepoints treat that module as a
force-loaded module, and thus silently refuse to consider any tracepoint
within this module.

Since an unsigned module does not fit within the "very likely system
crash" category of tainting, add a new TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE taint flag
to specifically address this taint behavior, and accept those modules
within Tracepoints. We use the letter 'X' as a taint flag character for
a module being loaded that doesn't know how to sign its name (proposed
by Steven Rostedt).

Also add the missing 'O' entry to trace event show_module_flags() list
for the sake of completeness.

Pull core debug changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "Currently there are two methods to set the panic_timeout: via
  'panic=X' boot commandline option, or via /proc/sys/kernel/panic.

  This tree adds a third panic_timeout configuration method:
  configuration via Kconfig, via CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT=X - useful to
  distros that generally want their kernel defaults to come with the
  .config.

  CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT defaults to 0, which was the previous default
  value of panic_timeout.

  Doing that unearthed a few arch trickeries regarding arch-special
  panic_timeout values and related complications - hopefully all
  resolved to the satisfaction of everyone"

Jason Baron 5800dc3cff panic: Make panic_timeout configurable
The panic_timeout value can be set via the command line option
'panic=x', or via /proc/sys/kernel/panic, however that is not
sufficient when the panic occurs before we are able to set up
these values. Thus, add a CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT so that we can
set the desired value from the .config.

The default panic_timeout value continues to be 0 - wait
forever. Also adds set_arch_panic_timeout(new_timeout,
arch_default_timeout), which is intended to be used by arches in
arch_setup(). The idea being that the new_timeout is only set if
the user hasn't changed from the arch_default_timeout.
