Josh Poimboeuf 325cdacd03 debug: Fix WARN_ON_ONCE() for modules
Mike Galbraith reported a situation where a WARN_ON_ONCE() call in DRM
code turned into an oops.  As it turns out, WARN_ON_ONCE() seems to be
completely broken when called from a module.

The bug was introduced with the following commit:

  19d436268d ("debug: Add _ONCE() logic to report_bug()")

That commit changed WARN_ON_ONCE() to move its 'once' logic into the bug
trap handler.  It requires a writable bug table so that the BUGFLAG_DONE
bit can be written to the flags to indicate the first warning has
occurred.

The bug table was made writable for vmlinux, which relies on
vmlinux.lds.S and vmlinux.lds.h for laying out the sections.  However,
it wasn't made writable for modules, which rely on the ELF section
header flags.

Peter Zijlstra 19d436268d debug: Add _ONCE() logic to report_bug()
Josh suggested moving the _ONCE logic inside the trap handler, using a
bit in the bug_entry::flags field, avoiding the need for the extra
variable.

Sadly this only works for WARN_ON_ONCE(), since the others have
printk() statements prior to triggering the trap.

Still, this saves a fair amount of text and some data:

  text         data       filename

James Bottomley f1ea8b66e5 [PARISC] fix missing TAINT_WARN problem
Al viro broke us with

commit edd63a2763
Author: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
Date:   Fri Apr 27 13:42:45 2012 -0400

    set_restore_sigmask() is never called without SIGPENDING (and never should be)

Although it's pretty much our fault since parisc's asm/bug.h uses
BUGWARN_TAINT but doesn't include the file that defines it.  Fix that.

Ben Hutchings b2be05273a panic: Allow warnings to set different taint flags
WARN() is used in some places to report firmware or hardware bugs that
are then worked-around.  These bugs do not affect the stability of the
kernel and should not set the flag for TAINT_WARN.  To allow for this,
add WARN_TAINT() and WARN_TAINT_ONCE() macros that take a taint number
as argument.

Architectures that implement warnings using trap instructions instead
of calls to warn_slowpath_*() now implement __WARN_TAINT(taint)
instead of __WARN().
