Create a new subsystem that probes on kernel boundaries
to keep track of the transitions between level contexts
with two basic initial contexts: user or kernel.
This is an abstraction of some RCU code that use such tracking
to implement its userspace extended quiescent state.
We need to pull this up from RCU into this new level of indirection
because this tracking is also going to be used to implement an "on

shutdown the tick while still accounting the cputime.

rcu: Separate accounting of callbacks from callback-free CPUs
Currently, callback invocations from callback-free CPUs are accounted to
the CPU that registered the callback, but using the same field that is
used for normal callbacks. This makes it impossible to determine from
debugfs output whether callbacks are in fact being diverted. This commit
therefore adds a separate ->n_nocbs_invoked field in the rcu_data structure
in which diverted callback invocations are counted. RCU's debugfs tracing
still displays normal callback invocations using ci=, but displayed
diverted callbacks with nci=.

rcu: Add callback-free CPUs
RCU callback execution can add significant OS jitter and also can
degrade both scheduling latency and, in asymmetric multiprocessors,
energy efficiency. This commit therefore adds the ability for selected
CPUs ("rcu_nocbs=" boot parameter) to have their callbacks offloaded
to kthreads. If the "rcu_nocb_poll" boot parameter is also specified,
these kthreads will do polling, removing the need for the offloaded
CPUs to do wakeups. At least one CPU must be doing normal callback
processing: currently CPU 0 cannot be selected as a no-CBs CPU.
In addition, attempts to offline the last normal-CBs CPU will fail.
This feature was inspired by Jim Houston's and Joe Korty's JRCU, and

rcu: Avoid counter wrap in synchronize_sched_expedited()
There is a counter scheme similar to ticket locking that
synchronize_sched_expedited() uses to service multiple concurrent
callers with the same expedited grace period. Upon entry, a
sync_sched_expedited_started variable is atomically incremented,
and upon completion of a expedited grace period a separate
sync_sched_expedited_done variable is atomically incremented.
However, if a synchronize_sched_expedited() is delayed while
in try_stop_cpus(), concurrent invocations will increment the
sync_sched_expedited_started counter, which will eventually overflow.
If the original synchronize_sched_expedited() resumes execution just
as the counter overflows, a concurrent invocation could incorrectly
conclude that an expedited grace period elapsed in zero time, which
would be bad. One could rely on counter size to prevent this from
happening in practice, but the goal is to formally validate this
code, so it needs to be fixed anyway.
This commit therefore checks the gap between the two counters before
incrementing sync_sched_expedited_started, and if the gap is too
large, does a normal grace period instead. Overflow is thus only
possible if there are more than about 3.5 billion threads on 32-bit
systems, which can be excluded until such time as task_struct fits
into a single byte and 4G/4G patches are accepted into mainline.

schedule_user()
2) Check if we have pending signals, if so call do_notify_resume()
3) Check if we do syscall tracing, if so call syscall_trace_leave()
However syscall_trace_leave() has been written assuming it directly
follows the syscall and forget about the above possible 1st and 2nd
steps.
Now schedule_user() and do_notify_resume() exit in RCU user mode
because they have most chances to resume userspace immediately and
this avoids an rcu_user_enter() call in the syscall fast path.
So by the time we call syscall_trace_leave(), we may well be in RCU
user mode. To fix this up, simply call rcu_user_exit() in the beginning
of this function.

MODSIGN: Move the magic string to the end of a module and eliminate the search
Emit the magic string that indicates a module has a signature after the
signature data instead of before it. This allows module_sig_check() to
be made simpler and faster by the elimination of the search for the
magic string. Instead we just need to do a single memcmp().
This works because at the end of the signature data there is the
fixed-length signature information block. This block then falls
immediately prior to the magic number.
From the contents of the information block, it is trivial to calculate
the size of the signature data and thus the size of the actual module
data.

kbuild: Fix module signature generation
Rusty had clearly not actually tested his module signing changes that I
(trustingly) applied as commit e2a666d52b48 ("kbuild: sign the modules
at install time"). That commit had multiple bugs:
- using "${#VARIABLE}" to get the number of characters in a shell
variable may look clever, but it's locale-dependent: it returns the
number of *characters*, not bytes. And we do need bytes.
So don't use "${#..}" expansion, do the stupid "wc -c" thing instead
(where "c" stands for "bytes", not "characters", despite the letter.
- Rusty had confused "siglen" and "signerlen", and his conversion
didn't set "signerlen" at all, and incorrectly set "siglen" to the
size of the signer, not the size of the signature.
End result: the modified sign-file script did create something that
superficially *looked* like a signature, but didn't actually work at
all, and would fail the signature check. Oops.
Tssk, tssk, Rusty.
But Rusty was definitely right that this whole thing should be rewritten
in perl by somebody who has the perl-fu to do so. That is not me,
though - I'm just doing an emergency fix for the shell script.

I'm aware that is is a little late for the UAPI renames for the DVB

1) There is a major rename at 3.7 (not only uapi changes, but also
the entire media drivers were reorganized on 3.7, in order to
simplify the Kconfig logic, and easy drivers selection, especially
for hybrid devices). By confining all those renames there at 3.7
it will cause all the harm at for media developers on just one
shot. Stable backports upstream and at distros will likely
welcome it as well, as they won't need to check what changed on
3.7 and what was postponed for on 3.8.
2) The V4L2 DocBook Makefile creates a cross-reference between the
media API headers and the specs. This helps us _a_lot_ to be sure
that all API improvements are properly documented. Every time a
header changes from one place to another, DocBook/media/Makefile
needs to be patched. Currently, the DocBook breakage patch
depends on the DVB UAPI."

crypto: aesni - fix XTS mode on x86-32, add wrapper function for asmlinkage aesni_enc()
Calling convention for internal functions and 'asmlinkage' functions is
different on x86-32. Therefore do not directly cast aesni_enc as XTS tweak
function, but use wrapper function in between. Fixes crash with "XTS +
aesni_intel + x86-32" combination.

fs, xattr: fix bug when removing a name not in xattr list
Commit 38f38657444d ("xattr: extract simple_xattr code from tmpfs") moved
some code from tmpfs but introduced a subtle bug along the way.
If the name passed to simple_xattr_remove() does not exist in the list of
xattrs, then it is possible to call kfree(new_xattr) when new_xattr is
actually initialized to itself on the stack via uninitialized_var().
This causes a BUG() since the memory was not allocated via the slab
allocator and was not bypassed through to the page allocator because it
was too large.
Initialize the local variable to NULL so the kfree() never takes place.

arm64: ptrace: use HW_BREAKPOINT_EMPTY type for disabled breakpoints
If a debugger tries to zero a hardware debug control register, the
kernel will try to infer both the type and length of the breakpoint
in order to sanity-check against the requested regset type. This will
fail because the encoding will appear as a zero-length breakpoint.
This patch changes the control register setting so that disabled
breakpoints are treated as HW_BREAKPOINT_EMPTY and no further
sanity-checking is required.

arm64: ptrace: make structure padding explicit for debug registers
The user_hwdebug_state structure contains implicit padding to conform to
the alignment requirements of the AArch64 ABI (namely that aggregates
must be aligned to their most aligned member).
This patch fixes the ptrace functions operating on struct
user_hwdebug_state so that the padding is handled correctly.

arm64: No need to set the x0-x2 registers in start_thread()
For historical reasons, ARM used to set r0-r2 in start_thread() to the
first values on the user stack when starting a new user application. The
same logic has been inherited in AArch64. The x0 register is overridden
by the sys_execve() return value so it's always zero on success. The x1
and x2 registers are ignored by AArch64 and EABI AArch32 applications,
so we can safely remove the register setting for both native and compat
user space.
This also fixes a potential fault with the kernel accessing user space
stack directly.
