Linus Torvalds d70b3ef54c Merge branch 'x86-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 core updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "There were so many changes in the x86/asm, x86/apic and x86/mm topics
  in this cycle that the topical separation of -tip broke down somewhat -
  so the result is a more traditional architecture pull request,
  collected into the 'x86/core' topic.

  The topics were still maintained separately as far as possible, so
  bisectability and conceptual separation should still be pretty good -
  but there were a handful of merge points to avoid excessive
  dependencies (and conflicts) that would have been poorly tested in the
  end.

  The next cycle will hopefully be much more quiet (or at least will
  have fewer dependencies).

  The main changes in this cycle were:

   * x86/apic changes, with related IRQ core changes: (Jiang Liu, Thomas
     Gleixner)

     - This is the second and most intrusive part of changes to the x86
       interrupt handling - full conversion to hierarchical interrupt
       domains:

          [IOAPIC domain]   -----
                                 |
          [MSI domain]      --------[Remapping domain] ----- [ Vector domain ]
                                 |   (optional)          |
          [HPET MSI domain] -----                        |
                                                         |
          [DMAR domain]     -----------------------------
                                                         |
          [Legacy domain]   -----------------------------

       This now reflects the actual hardware and allowed us to distangle
       the domain specific code from the underlying parent domain, which
       can be optional in the case of interrupt remapping.  It's a clear
       separation of functionality and removes quite some duct tape
       constructs which plugged the remap code between ioapic/msi/hpet
       and the vector management.

     - Intel IOMMU IRQ remapping enhancements, to allow direct interrupt
       injection into guests (Feng Wu)

   * x86/asm changes:

     - Tons of cleanups and small speedups, micro-optimizations.  This
       is in preparation to move a good chunk of the low level entry
       code from assembly to C code (Denys Vlasenko, Andy Lutomirski,
       Brian Gerst)

     - Moved all system entry related code to a new home under
       arch/x86/entry/ (Ingo Molnar)

     - Removal of the fragile and ugly CFI dwarf debuginfo annotations.
       Conversion to C will reintroduce many of them - but meanwhile
       they are only getting in the way, and the upstream kernel does
       not rely on them (Ingo Molnar)

     - NOP handling refinements. (Borislav Petkov)

   * x86/mm changes:

     - Big PAT and MTRR rework: making the code more robust and
       preparing to phase out exposing direct MTRR interfaces to drivers -
       in favor of using PAT driven interfaces (Toshi Kani, Luis R
       Rodriguez, Borislav Petkov)

     - New ioremap_wt()/set_memory_wt() interfaces to support
       Write-Through cached memory mappings.  This is especially
       important for good performance on NVDIMM hardware (Toshi Kani)

   * x86/ras changes:

     - Add support for deferred errors on AMD (Aravind Gopalakrishnan)

       This is an important RAS feature which adds hardware support for
       poisoned data.  That means roughly that the hardware marks data
       which it has detected as corrupted but wasn't able to correct, as
       poisoned data and raises an APIC interrupt to signal that in the
       form of a deferred error.  It is the OS's responsibility then to
       take proper recovery action and thus prolonge system lifetime as
       far as possible.

     - Add support for Intel "Local MCE"s: upcoming CPUs will support
       CPU-local MCE interrupts, as opposed to the traditional system-
       wide broadcasted MCE interrupts (Ashok Raj)

     - Misc cleanups (Borislav Petkov)

   * x86/platform changes:

     - Intel Atom SoC updates

  ... and lots of other cleanups, fixlets and other changes - see the
  shortlog and the Git log for details"

Paul Gortmaker 4a3893d069 modpost: don't emit section mismatch warnings for compiler optimizations
Currently an allyesconfig build [gcc-4.9.1] can generate the following:

   WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text.unlikely+0x3864): Section mismatch in
   reference from the function cpumask_empty.constprop.3() to the
   variable .init.data:nmi_ipi_mask

which comes from the cpumask_empty usage in arch/x86/kernel/nmi_selftest.c.

Normally we would not see a symbol entry for cpumask_empty since it is:

	static inline bool cpumask_empty(const struct cpumask *srcp)

however in this case, the variant of the symbol gets emitted when GCC does
constant propagation optimization.

Fix things up so that any locally optimized constprop variants don't warn
when accessing variables that live in the __init sections.

Paul Gortmaker 09c20c032b modpost: expand pattern matching to support substring matches
Currently the match() function supports a leading * to match any
prefix and a trailing * to match any suffix.  However there currently
is not a combination of both that can be used to target matches of
whole families of functions that share a common substring.

Here we expand the *foo and foo* match to also support *foo* with
the goal of targeting compiler generated symbol names that contain
strings like ".constprop." and ".isra."

Quentin Casasnovas e84048aa17 modpost: fix extable entry size calculation.
As Guenter pointed out, we were never really calculating the extable entry
size because the pointer arithmetic was simply wrong.  We want to check
we're handling the second relocation in __ex_table to infer an entry size,
but we were using (void*) pointers instead of Elf_Rel[a]* ones.

This fixes the problem by moving that check in the caller (since we can
deal with different types of relocations) and add is_second_extable_reloc()
to make the whole thing more readable.

As Guenter pointed out, we want to assert that extable_entry_size has been
discovered and not the other way around.  Moreover, this sanity check is
only valid when we're not dealing with the first relocation in __ex_table,
since we have not discovered the extable entry size at that point.

This was leading to a divide-by-zero on some architectures and make the
build fail.

Since commit 1f65f947a6 ("checkpatch: add checks for question mark and

asm volatile uses of "::" checkpatch thinks colons should always have
spaces around it.

ENOSYS means that a nonexistent system call was called.  We have a
bad habit of using it for things like invalid operations on
otherwise valid syscalls.  We should avoid this in new code.

Quentin Casasnovas 52dc0595d5 modpost: handle relocations mismatch in __ex_table.
__ex_table is a simple table section where each entry is a pair of
addresses - the first address is an address which can fault in kernel
space, and the second address points to where the kernel should jump to
when handling that fault.  This is how copy_from_user() does not crash the
kernel if userspace gives a borked pointer for example.

If one of these addresses point to a non-executable section, something is
seriously wrong since it either means the kernel will never fault from
there or it will not be able to jump to there.  As both cases are serious
enough, we simply error out in these cases so the build fails and the
developper has to fix the issue.

In case the section is executable, but it isn't referenced in our list of
authorized sections to point to from __ex_table, we just dump a warning
giving more information about it.  We do this in case the new section is
executable but isn't supposed to be executed by the kernel.  This happened
with .altinstr_replacement, which is executable but is only used to copy
instructions from - we should never have our instruction pointer pointing
in .altinstr_replacement.  Admitedly, a proper fix in that case would be to
just set .altinstr_replacement NX, but we need to warn about future cases
like this.

This shell script can be used to sanity check the __ex_table section on an
object file, making sure the relocations in there are pointing to valid
executable sections.  If it finds some suspicious relocations, it'll use
addr2line to try and dump where this is coming from.

This works best with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO.

This will be useful when we want to have special handlers which need to go
through more hops to print useful information to the user.

Quentin Casasnovas 157d1972d0 modpost: add .sched.text and .kprobes.text to the TEXT_SECTIONS list.

Quentin Casasnovas 050e57fd59 modpost: add strict white-listing when referencing sections.
Prints a warning when a section references a section outside a strict
white-list.  This will be useful to print a warning if __ex_table
references a non-executable section.
