kprobes/x86: Check Interrupt Flag modifier when registering probe
Currently kprobes check whether the copied instruction modifies
IF (interrupt flag) on each probe hit. This results not only in
introducing overhead but also involving
inat_get_opcode_attribute into the kprobes hot path, and it can
cause an infinite recursive call (and kernel panic in the end).
Actually, since the copied instruction itself can never be modified
on the buffer, it is needless to analyze the instruction on every
probe hit.
To fix this issue, we check it only once when registering probe
and store the result on ainsn->if_modifier.

idr: idr_alloc() shouldn't trigger lowmem warning when preloaded
GFP_NOIO is often used for idr_alloc() inside preloaded section as the
allocation mask doesn't really matter. If the idr tree needs to be
expanded, idr_alloc() first tries to allocate using the specified
allocation mask and if it fails falls back to the preloaded buffer. This
order prevent non-preloading idr_alloc() users from taking advantage of
preloading ones by using preload buffer without filling it shifting the
burden of allocation to the preload users.
Unfortunately, this allowed/expected-to-fail kmem_cache allocation ends up
generating spurious slab lowmem warning before succeeding the request from
the preload buffer.
This patch makes idr_layer_alloc() add __GFP_NOWARN to the first
kmem_cache attempt and try kmem_cache again w/o __GFP_NOWARN after
allocation from preload_buffer fails so that lowmem warning is generated
if not suppressed by the original @gfp_mask.

tidspbridge: convert to idr_alloc()
idr_get_new*() and friends are about to be deprecated. Convert to the
new idr_alloc() interface.
There are some peculiarities and possible bugs in the converted
functions. This patch preserves those.
* drv_insert_node_res_element() returns -ENOMEM on alloc failure,
-EFAULT if id space is exhausted. -EFAULT is at best misleading.
* drv_proc_insert_strm_res_element() is even weirder. It returns
-EFAULT if kzalloc() fails, -ENOMEM if idr preloading fails and
-EPERM if id space is exhausted. What's going on here?
* drv_proc_insert_strm_res_element() doesn't free *pstrm_res after
failure.

mlx4: remove leftover idr_pre_get() call
Commit 6a9200603d76 ("IB/mlx4: convert to idr_alloc()") forgot to remove
idr_pre_get() call in mlx4_ib_cm_paravirt_init(). It's unnecessary and
idr_pre_get() will soon be deprecated. Remove it.

signal: always clear sa_restorer on execve
When the new signal handlers are set up, the location of sa_restorer is
not cleared, leaking a parent process's address space location to
children. This allows for a potential bypass of the parent's ASLR by
examining the sa_restorer value returned when calling sigaction().
Based on what should be considered "secret" about addresses, it only
matters across the exec not the fork (since the VMAs haven't changed
until the exec). But since exec sets SIG_DFL and keeps sa_restorer,
this is where it should be fixed.
Given the few uses of sa_restorer, a "set" function was not written
since this would be the only use. Instead, we use
__ARCH_HAS_SA_RESTORER, as already done in other places.

mm: remove_memory(): fix end_pfn setting
remove_memory() calls walk_memory_range() with [start_pfn, end_pfn), where
end_pfn is exclusive in this range. Therefore, end_pfn needs to be set to
the next page of the end address.
