Fix kernel gcov support for GCC 5.1. Similar to commit a992bf836f
("gcov: add support for GCC 4.9"), this patch takes into account the
existence of a new gcov counter (see gcc's gcc/gcov-counter.def.)
Firstly, it increments GCOV_COUNTERS (to 10), which makes the data
structure struct gcov_info compatible with GCC 5.1.
Secondly, a corresponding counter function __gcov_merge_icall_topn (Top N
value tracking for indirect calls) is included in base.c with the other
gcov counters unused for kernel profiling.

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.

For compatibility with the behaviour before the commit f06e5153f4
("kernel/panic.c: add "crash_kexec_post_notifiers" option for kdump after
panic_notifers"), the 2nd crash_kexec() should be called only if
crash_kexec_post_notifiers is enabled.
Note that crash_kexec() returns immediately if kdump crash kernel is not
loaded, so in this case, this patch makes no functionality change, but the
point is to make it explicit, from the caller panic() side, that the 2nd
crash_kexec() does nothing.

"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.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"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"

I could not come up with a situation where the operand counter (cnt)
could go below zero, so I added a WARN_ON_ONCE(cnt < 0). Vince was
able to trigger that warn on with his fuzzer test, but didn't have
a filter input that caused it.
Later, Sasha Levin was able to trigger that same warning, and was
able to give me the filter string that triggered it. It was simply
a single operation ">".
I wrapped the filtering code in a userspace program such that I could
single step through the logic. With a single operator the operand
counter can legitimately go below zero, and should be reported to the
user as an error, but should not produce a kernel warning. The
WARN_ON_ONCE(cnt < 0) should be just a "if (cnt < 0) break;" and the
code following it will produce the error message for the user.
While debugging this, I found that there was another bug that let
the pointer to the filter string go beyond the filter string.
This too was fixed.
Finally, there was a typo in a stub function that only gets compiled
if trace events is disabled but tracing is enabled (I'm not even sure
that's possible).

Yep, that's right: gcc isn't smart enough to realize that replacing '/' by
'_' cannot change the strlen(), so we call it again and again (at least
when a '/' is found). Even if gcc were that smart, this construction
would still loop over the string twice, once for the initial strlen() call
and then the open-coded loop.
Let's simply use strreplace() instead.

Patch fixes drawbacks in heck_syslog_permissions() noticed by AKPM:
"from_file handling makes me cry.
That's not a boolean - it's an enumerated value with two values
currently defined.
But the code in check_syslog_permissions() treats it as a boolean and
also hardwires the knowledge that SYSLOG_FROM_PROC == 1 (or == `true`).
And the name is wrong: it should be called from_proc to match
SYSLOG_FROM_PROC."

The final version of commit 637241a900 ("kmsg: honor dmesg_restrict
sysctl on /dev/kmsg") lost few hooks, as result security_syslog() are
processed incorrectly:
- open of /dev/kmsg checks syslog access permissions by using
check_syslog_permissions() where security_syslog() is not called if
dmesg_restrict is set.
- syslog syscall and /proc/kmsg calls do_syslog() where security_syslog
can be executed twice (inside check_syslog_permissions() and then
directly in do_syslog())
With this patch security_syslog() is called once only in all
syslog-related operations regardless of dmesg_restrict value.

printk log_buf keeps various metadata for each message including its
sequence number and timestamp. The metadata is currently available only
through /dev/kmsg and stripped out before passed onto console drivers. We
want this metadata to be available to console drivers too so that console
consumers can get full information including the metadata and dictionary,
which among other things can be used to detect whether messages got lost
in transit.
This patch implements support for extended console drivers. Consoles can
indicate that they want extended messages by setting the new CON_EXTENDED
flag and they'll be fed messages formatted the same way as /dev/kmsg.
"<level>,<sequnum>,<timestamp>,<contflag>;<message text>\n"
If extended consoles exist, in-kernel fragment assembly is disabled. This
ensures that all messages emitted to consoles have full metadata including
sequence number. The contflag carries enough information to reassemble
the fragments from the reader side trivially. Note that this only affects
/dev/kmsg. Regular console and /proc/kmsg outputs are not affected by
this change.
* Extended message formatting for console drivers is enabled iff there
are registered extended consoles.
* Comment describing /dev/kmsg message format updated to add missing
contflag field and help distinguishing variable from verbatim terms.

This patchset updates netconsole so that it can emit messages with the
same header as used in /dev/kmsg which gives neconsole receiver full log
information which enables things like structured logging and detection
of lost messages.
This patch (of 7):
devkmsg_read() uses 8k buffer and assumes that the formatted output
message won't overrun which seems safe given LOG_LINE_MAX, the current use
of dict and the escaping method being used; however, we're planning to use
devkmsg formatting wider and accounting for the buffer size properly isn't
that complicated.
This patch defines CONSOLE_EXT_LOG_MAX as 8192 and updates devkmsg_read()
so that it limits output accordingly.

clone has some of the quirkiest syscall handling in the kernel, with a
pile of special cases, historical curiosities, and architecture-specific
calling conventions. In particular, clone with CLONE_SETTLS accepts a
parameter "tls" that the C entry point completely ignores and some
assembly entry points overwrite; instead, the low-level arch-specific
code pulls the tls parameter out of the arch-specific register captured
as part of pt_regs on entry to the kernel. That's a massive hack, and
it makes the arch-specific code only work when called via the specific
existing syscall entry points; because of this hack, any new clone-like
system call would have to accept an identical tls argument in exactly
the same arch-specific position, rather than providing a unified system
call entry point across architectures.
The first patch allows architectures to handle the tls argument via
normal C parameter passing, if they opt in by selecting
HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS. The second patch makes 32-bit and 64-bit x86 opt
into this.
These two patches came out of the clone4 series, which isn't ready for
this merge window, but these first two cleanup patches were entirely
uncontroversial and have acks. I'd like to go ahead and submit these
two so that other architectures can begin building on top of this and
opting into HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS. However, I'm also happy to wait and
send these through the next merge window (along with v3 of clone4) if
anyone would prefer that.
This patch (of 2):
clone with CLONE_SETTLS accepts an argument to set the thread-local
storage area for the new thread. sys_clone declares an int argument
tls_val in the appropriate point in the argument list (based on the
various CLONE_BACKWARDS variants), but doesn't actually use or pass along
that argument. Instead, sys_clone calls do_fork, which calls
copy_process, which calls the arch-specific copy_thread, and copy_thread
pulls the corresponding syscall argument out of the pt_regs captured at
kernel entry (knowing what argument of clone that architecture passes tls
in).
Apart from being awful and inscrutable, that also only works because only
one code path into copy_thread can pass the CLONE_SETTLS flag, and that
code path comes from sys_clone with its architecture-specific
argument-passing order. This prevents introducing a new version of the
clone system call without propagating the same architecture-specific
position of the tls argument.
However, there's no reason to pull the argument out of pt_regs when
sys_clone could just pass it down via C function call arguments.
Introduce a new CONFIG_HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS for architectures to opt into,
and a new copy_thread_tls that accepts the tls parameter as an additional
unsigned long (syscall-argument-sized) argument. Change sys_clone's tls
argument to an unsigned long (which does not change the ABI), and pass
that down to copy_thread_tls.
Architectures that don't opt into copy_thread_tls will continue to ignore
the C argument to sys_clone in favor of the pt_regs captured at kernel
entry, and thus will be unable to introduce new versions of the clone
syscall.

While debugging a WARN_ON() for filtering, I found that it is possible
for the filter string to be referenced after its end. With the filter:
# echo '>' > /sys/kernel/debug/events/ext4/ext4_truncate_exit/filter
The filter_parse() function can call infix_get_op() which calls
infix_advance() that updates the infix filter pointers for the cnt
and tail without checking if the filter is already at the end, which
will put the cnt to zero and the tail beyond the end. The loop then calls
infix_next() that has
ps->infix.cnt--;
return ps->infix.string[ps->infix.tail++];
The cnt will now be below zero, and the tail that is returned is
already passed the end of the filter string. So far the allocation
of the filter string usually has some buffer that is zeroed out, but
if the filter string is of the exact size of the allocated buffer
there's no guarantee that the charater after the nul terminating
character will be zero.
Luckily, only root can write to the filter.

When testing the fix for the trace filter, I could not come up with
a scenario where the operand count goes below zero, so I added a
WARN_ON_ONCE(cnt < 0) to the logic. But there is legitimate case
that it can happen (although the filter would be wrong).
# echo '>' > /sys/kernel/debug/events/ext4/ext4_truncate_exit/filter
That is, a single operation without any operands will hit the path
where the WARN_ON_ONCE() can trigger. Although this is harmless,
and the filter is reported as a error. But instead of spitting out
a warning to the kernel dmesg, just fail nicely and report it via
the proper channels.

Rename unmark_oom_victim() to exit_oom_victim(). Marking and unmarking
are related in functionality, but the interface is not symmetrical at
all: one is an internal OOM killer function used during the killing, the
other is for an OOM victim to signal its own death on exit later on.
This has locking implications, see follow-up changes.
While at it, rename mark_tsk_oom_victim() to mark_oom_victim(), which
is easier on the eye.

Change the default behavior of watchdog so it only runs on the
housekeeping cores when nohz_full is enabled at build and boot time.
Allow modifying the set of cores the watchdog is currently running on
with a new kernel.watchdog_cpumask sysctl.
In the current system, the watchdog subsystem runs a periodic timer that
schedules the watchdog kthread to run. However, nohz_full cores are
designed to allow userspace application code running on those cores to
have 100% access to the CPU. So the watchdog system prevents the
nohz_full application code from being able to run the way it wants to,
thus the motivation to suppress the watchdog on nohz_full cores, which
this patchset provides by default.
However, if we disable the watchdog globally, then the housekeeping
cores can't benefit from the watchdog functionality. So we allow
disabling it only on some cores. See Documentation/lockup-watchdogs.txt
for more information.

This patch series allows the watchdog to run by default only on the
housekeeping cores when nohz_full is in effect; this seems to be a good
compromise short of turning it off completely (since the nohz_full cores
can't tolerate a watchdog).
To provide customizability, we add /proc/sys/kernel/watchdog_cpumask so
that the set of cores running the watchdog can be tuned to different
values after bootup.
To implement this customizability, we add a new
smpboot_update_cpumask_percpu_thread() API to the smpboot_thread
subsystem that lets us park or unpark "unwanted" threads.
And now that threads can be parked for long periods of time, we tweak the
/proc/<pid>/stat and /proc/<pid>/status code so parked threads aren't
reported as running, which is otherwise confusing.
This patch (of 3):
This change allows some cores to be excluded from running the
smp_hotplug_thread tasks. The following commit to update
kernel/watchdog.c to use this functionality is the motivating example, and
more information on the motivation is provided there.
A new smp_hotplug_thread field is introduced, "cpumask", which is cpumask
field managed by the smpboot subsystem that indicates whether or not the
given smp_hotplug_thread should run on that core; the cpumask is checked
when deciding whether to unpark the thread.
To limit the cpumask to less than cpu_possible, you must call
smpboot_update_cpumask_percpu_thread() after registering.

Many harddisks (mostly WD ones) have firmware problems and take too
long, more than 10 seconds, to resume from suspend. And this often
exceeds the default DPM watchdog timeout (12 seconds), resulting in a
kernel panic out of sudden.
Since most distros just take the default as is, we should give a bit
more safer value. This patch increases the default value from 12
seconds to one minute, which has been confirmed to be long enough for
such problematic disks.

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"The rework of backlight interface selection API from Hans de Goede
stands out from the number of commits and the number of affected
places perspective. The cpufreq core fixes from Viresh Kumar are
quite significant too as far as the number of commits goes and because
they should reduce CPU online/offline overhead quite a bit in the
majority of cases.
From the new featues point of view, the ACPICA update (to upstream
revision 20150515) adding support for new ACPI 6 material to ACPICA is
the one that matters the most as some new significant features will be
based on it going forward. Also included is an update of the ACPI
device power management core to follow ACPI 6 (which in turn reflects
the Windows' device PM implementation), a PM core extension to support
wakeup interrupts in a more generic way and support for the ACPI _CCA
device configuration object.
The rest is mostly fixes and cleanups all over and some documentation
updates, including new DT bindings for Operating Performance Points.
There is one fix for a regression introduced in the 4.1 cycle, but it
adds quite a number of lines of code, it wasn't really ready before
Thursday and you were on vacation, so I refrained from pushing it on
the last minute for 4.1.

Pull livepatching fixes from Jiri Kosina:
- symbol lookup locking fix, from Miroslav Benes
- error handling improvements in case of failure of the module coming
notifier, from Minfei Huang
- we were too pessimistic when kASLR has been enabled on x86 and were
dropping address hints on the floor unnecessarily in such case. Fix
from Jiri Kosina
- a few other small fixes and cleanups

Add a "param_lock" mutex to each module, and update params.c to use
the correct built-in or module mutex while locking kernel params.
Remove the kparam_block_sysfs_r/w() macros, replace them with direct
calls to kernel_param_[un]lock(module).
The kernel param code currently uses a single mutex to protect
modification of any and all kernel params. While this generally works,
there is one specific problem with it; a module callback function
cannot safely load another module, i.e. with request_module() or even
with indirect calls such as crypto_has_alg(). If the module to be
loaded has any of its params configured (e.g. with a /etc/modprobe.d/*
config file), then the attempt will result in a deadlock between the
first module param callback waiting for modprobe, and modprobe trying to
lock the single kernel param mutex to set the new module's param.
This fixes that by using per-module mutexes, so that each individual module
is protected against concurrent changes in its own kernel params, but is
not blocked by changes to other module params. All built-in modules
continue to use the built-in mutex, since they will always be loaded at
runtime and references (e.g. request_module(), crypto_has_alg()) to them
will never cause load-time param changing.
This also simplifies the interface used by modules to block sysfs access
to their params; while there are currently functions to block and unblock
sysfs param access which are split up by read and write and expect a single
kernel param to be passed, their actual operation is identical and applies
to all params, not just the one passed to them; they simply lock and unlock
the global param mutex. They are replaced with direct calls to
kernel_param_[un]lock(THIS_MODULE), which locks THIS_MODULE's param_lock, or
if the module is built-in, it locks the built-in mutex.
