Andy Lutomirski e0ffbaabc4 x86: Split syscall_trace_enter into two phases
This splits syscall_trace_enter into syscall_trace_enter_phase1 and
syscall_trace_enter_phase2.  Only phase 2 has full pt_regs, and only
phase 2 is permitted to modify any of pt_regs except for orig_ax.

The intent is that phase 1 can be called from the syscall fast path.

In this implementation, phase1 can handle any combination of
TIF_NOHZ (RCU context tracking), TIF_SECCOMP, and TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT,
unless seccomp requests a ptrace event, in which case phase2 is
forced.

In principle, this could yield a big speedup for TIF_NOHZ as well as
for TIF_SECCOMP if syscall exit work were similarly split up.

Tejun Heo b9cd18de4d ptrace,x86: force IRET path after a ptrace_stop()
The 'sysret' fastpath does not correctly restore even all regular
registers, much less any segment registers or reflags values.  That is
very much part of why it's faster than 'iret'.

Normally that isn't a problem, because the normal ptrace() interface
catches the process using the signal handler infrastructure, which
always returns with an iret.

However, some paths can get caught using ptrace_event() instead of the
signal path, and for those we need to make sure that we aren't going to
return to user space using 'sysret'.  Otherwise the modifications that
may have been done to the register set by the tracer wouldn't
necessarily take effect.

Fix it by forcing IRET path by setting TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME from
arch_ptrace_stop_needed() which is invoked from ptrace_stop().

Paul Gortmaker 663b55b9b3 x86: Delete non-required instances of include <linux/init.h>
None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
and hence don't need to include <linux/init.h>.  Most are just a
left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to
code getting copied from one driver to the next.

Robert Richter 1022623842 x86-32: Fix invalid stack address while in softirq
In 32 bit the stack address provided by kernel_stack_pointer() may
point to an invalid range causing NULL pointer access or page faults
while in NMI (see trace below). This happens if called in softirq
context and if the stack is empty. The address at &regs->sp is then
out of range.

Fixing this by checking if regs and &regs->sp are in the same stack
context. Otherwise return the previous stack pointer stored in struct
thread_info. If that address is invalid too, return address of regs.

H. Peter Anvin f28f0c2357 x86: Move some signal-handling definitions to a common header
There are some definitions which are duplicated between
kernel/signal.c and ia32/ia32_signal.c; move them to a common header
file.

Rather than adding stuff to existing header files which contain data
structures, create a new header file; hence the slightly odd name
("all the good ones were taken.")

Note: nothing relied on signal_fault() being defined in
<asm/ptrace.h>.

Andy Lutomirski 318f5a2a67 x86-64: Add user_64bit_mode paravirt op
Three places in the kernel assume that the only long mode CPL 3
selector is __USER_CS.  This is not true on Xen -- Xen's sysretq
changes cs to the magic value 0xe033.

Two of the places are corner cases, but as of "x86-64: Improve
vsyscall emulation CS and RIP handling"
(c9712944b2), vsyscalls will segfault
if called with Xen's extra CS selector.  This causes a panic when
older init builds die.

It seems impossible to make Xen use __USER_CS reliably without
taking a performance hit on every system call, so this fixes the
tests instead with a new paravirt op.  It's a little ugly because
ptrace.h can't include paravirt.h.

Peter Zijlstra faa4602e47 x86, perf, bts, mm: Delete the never used BTS-ptrace code
Support for the PMU's BTS features has been upstreamed in
v2.6.32, but we still have the old and disabled ptrace-BTS,
as Linus noticed it not so long ago.

It's buggy: TIF_DEBUGCTLMSR is trampling all over that MSR without
regard for other uses (perf) and doesn't provide the flexibility
needed for perf either.

Its users are ptrace-block-step and ptrace-bts, since ptrace-bts
was never used and ptrace-block-step can be implemented using a
much simpler approach.

So axe all 3000 lines of it. That includes the *locked_memory*()
APIs in mm/mlock.c as well.

Christoph Hellwig dacbe41f77 ptrace: move user_enable_single_step & co prototypes to linux/ptrace.h
While in theory user_enable_single_step/user_disable_single_step/
user_enable_blockstep could also be provided as an inline or macro there's
no good reason to do so, and having the prototype in one places keeps code
size and confusion down.

Roland said:

  The original thought there was that user_enable_single_step() et al
  might well be only an instruction or three on a sane machine (as if we
  have any of those!), and since there is only one call site inlining
  would be beneficial.  But I agree that there is no strong reason to care
  about inlining it.

  As to the arch changes, there is only one thought I'd add to the
  record.  It was always my thinking that for an arch where
  PTRACE_SINGLESTEP does text-modifying breakpoint insertion,
  user_enable_single_step() should not be provided.  That is,
  arch_has_single_step()=>true means that there is an arch facility with
  "pure" semantics that does not have any unexpected side effects.
  Inserting a breakpoint might do very unexpected strange things in
  multi-threaded situations.  Aside from that, it is a peculiar side
  effect that user_{enable,disable}_single_step() should cause COW
  de-sharing of text pages and so forth.  For PTRACE_SINGLESTEP, all these
  peculiarities are the status quo ante for that arch, so having
  arch_ptrace() itself do those is one thing.  But for building other
  things in the future, it is nicer to have a uniform "pure" semantics
  that arch-independent code can expect.

  OTOH, all such arch issues are really up to the arch maintainer.  As
  of today, there is nothing but ptrace using user_enable_single_step() et
  al so it's a distinction without a practical difference.  If/when there
  are other facilities that use user_enable_single_step() and might care,
  the affected arch's can revisit the question when someone cares about
  the quality of the arch support for said new facility.

   Query the offset of "name" register.

- regs_query_register_name(unsigned int offset)
   Query the name of register by its offset.

- regs_get_register(struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned int offset)
   Get the value of a register by its offset.

- regs_within_kernel_stack(struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned long addr)
   Check the address is in the kernel stack.

- regs_get_kernel_stack_nth(struct pt_regs *reg, unsigned int nth)
   Get Nth entry of the kernel stack. (N >= 0)

Masami Hiramatsu 7b6c6c7773 x86, 32-bit: fix kernel_trap_sp()
Use &regs->sp instead of regs for getting the top of stack in kernel mode.
(on x86-64, regs->sp always points the top of stack)

[ Impact: Oprofile decodes only stack for backtracing on i386 ]

Tejun Heo ccbeed3a05 x86: make lazy %gs optional on x86_32
Impact: pt_regs changed, lazy gs handling made optional, add slight
        overhead to SAVE_ALL, simplifies error_code path a bit

On x86_32, %gs hasn't been used by kernel and handled lazily.  pt_regs
doesn't have place for it and gs is saved/loaded only when necessary.
In preparation for stack protector support, this patch makes lazy %gs
handling optional by doing the followings.

* Add CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and place for gs in pt_regs.

* Save and restore %gs along with other registers in entry_32.S unless
  LAZY_GS.  Note that this unfortunately adds "pushl $0" on SAVE_ALL
  even when LAZY_GS.  However, it adds no overhead to common exit path
  and simplifies entry path with error code.

* Define different user_gs accessors depending on LAZY_GS and add
  lazy_save_gs() and lazy_load_gs() which are noop if !LAZY_GS.  The
  lazy_*_gs() ops are used to save, load and clear %gs lazily.

* Define ELF_CORE_COPY_KERNEL_REGS() which always read %gs directly.

xen and lguest changes need to be verified.

Markus Metzger bf53de907d x86, bts: add fork and exit handling
Impact: introduce new ptrace facility

Add arch_ptrace_untrace() function that is called when the tracer
detaches (either voluntarily or when the tracing task dies);
ptrace_disable() is only called on a voluntary detach.

Add ptrace_fork() and arch_ptrace_fork(). They are called when a
traced task is forked.

Clear DS and BTS related fields on fork.

Release DS resources and reclaim memory in ptrace_untrace(). This
releases resources already when the tracing task dies. We used to do
that when the traced task dies.

Christoph Hellwig 96b8936a9e remove __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_PTRACE
All architectures now use the generic compat_sys_ptrace, as should every
new architecture that needs 32bit compat (if we'll ever get another).

Remove the now superflous __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_PTRACE define, and also
kill a comment about __ARCH_SYS_PTRACE that was added after
__ARCH_SYS_PTRACE was already gone.
