plumbing in entry.S to be able to run user space and KVM guests with

To switch a user space process to limited branch prediction the

Add the PPA instruction to the system entry and exit path to switch
the kernel to a different branch prediction behaviour. The instructions
are added via CPU alternatives and can be disabled with the "nospec"
or the "nobp=0" kernel parameter. If the default behaviour selected
with CONFIG_KERNEL_NOBP is set to "n" then the "nobp=1" parameter can be
used to enable the changed kernel branch prediction.

The majority of the work here is in the firmware subsystem, with reworks
to try to attempt to make the code easier to handle in the long run, but
no functional change. There's also some tree-wide sysfs attribute
fixups with lots of acks from the various subsystem maintainers, as well
as a handful of other normal fixes and changes.
And finally, some license cleanups for the driver core and sysfs code.
All have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues.

The 64 bit system call table contains three entries that come without

not make sense on 64 bit, but only for compat processes.
llseek and mmap2 were specifically introduced for 32 bit / compat

comes with a corresponding NR_getrlimit needs to be kept.
The other entries can be removed, since it seems very unlikely that

Among the existing architecture specific versions of
copy_siginfo_to_user32 there are several different implementation
problems. Some architectures fail to handle all of the cases in in
the siginfo union. Some architectures perform a blind copy of the
siginfo union when the si_code is negative. A blind copy suggests the
data is expected to be in 32bit siginfo format, which means that
receiving such a signal via signalfd won't work, or that the data is
in 64bit siginfo and the code is copying nonsense to userspace.
Create a single instance of copy_siginfo_to_user32 that all of the
architectures can share, and teach it to handle all of the cases in
the siginfo union correctly, with the assumption that siginfo is
stored internally to the kernel is 64bit siginfo format.
A special case is made for x86 x32 format. This is needed as presence
of both x32 and ia32 on x86_64 results in two different 32bit signal
formats. By allowing this small special case there winds up being
exactly one code base that needs to be maintained between all of the
architectures. Vastly increasing the testing base and the chances of
finding bugs.
As the x86 copy of copy_siginfo_to_user32 the call of the x86
signal_compat_build_tests were moved into sigaction_compat_abi, so
that they will keep running.

The function copy_siginfo_from_user32 is used for two things, in ptrace
since the dawn of siginfo for arbirarily modifying a signal that
user space sees, and in sigqueueinfo to send a signal with arbirary
siginfo data.
Create a single copy of copy_siginfo_from_user32 that all architectures
share, and teach it to handle all of the cases in the siginfo union.
In the generic version of copy_siginfo_from_user32 ensure that all
of the fields in siginfo are initialized so that the siginfo structure
can be safely copied to userspace if necessary.
When copying the embedded sigval union copy the si_int member. That
ensures the 32bit values passes through the kernel unchanged.

In testing, we found that nfsd threads may call set_groups in parallel
for the same entry cached in auth.unix.gid, racing in the call of

permission denials for the client.
This patch:
- Make groups_sort globally visible.
- Move the call to groups_sort to the modifiers of group_info
- Remove the call to groups_sort from set_groups

Revise and add CFI CFA and register rule annotations to the vDSO
functions for proper stack unwinding and debugging.
Because glibc might call the vDSO in special ways, the vDSO code
does not rely on a stack frame created by the caller. The TOD clock
value can be therefore not stored in the pre-allocated stack area
and additional stack space is required.
To correctly annotate these situations with CFI, the .cfi_val_offset
directive is required to create relative offsets on the value of the
stack register %r15. Because the .cfi_val_offset directive is
available with recent GNU assembler versions only, additional checks
are necessary.
Note that if the vDSO is assembled with an older assembler version,
stack unwinding and debugging from within the vDSO code might not
be possible.

Using perf probe and libdw on kernel modules failed to find CFI
data for symbols. The CFI data is stored in the .eh_frame section.
The elfutils libdw is not able to extract the CFI data correctly,
because the .eh_frame section requires "non-simple" relocations
for kernel modules.
The suggestion is to avoid these "non-simple" relocations by emitting
the CFI data in the .debug_frame section. Let gcc emit respective
directives by specifying the -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables option.
Using the .debug_frame section for CFI data, the .eh_frame section
becomes unused and, thus, discard it for kernel and modules builds
The vDSO requires the .eh_frame section and, hence, emit the CFI data
in both, the .eh_frame and .debug_frame sections.

point in time. The PID and TID values of the perf samples that are
created for hardware samples are initialized with values from the
current task. Hence, the PID and TID values are not correct and
perf samples are associated with wrong processes.
The PID and TID values are obtained from the Host Program Parameter
(HPP) field in the basic-sampling data entries. These PIDs are
valid in the init PID namespace. Ensure that the PIDs in the perf
samples are resolved considering the PID namespace in which the
perf event was created.
To correct the PID and TID values in the created perf samples,
a special overflow handler is installed. It replaces the default
overflow handler and does not become effective if any other
overflow handler is used. With the special overflow handler most
of the perf samples are associated with the right processes.
For processes, that are no longer exist, the association might
still be wrong.

The lpp instruction is used to place the PID of the current
task in the program-parameter (PP) register. The register
contents is then included in the sampling data entries.
The lpp instruction loads the PP register only when at least
one sampling function is enabled. Otherwise it is executed
as a no-op.
Linux calls lpp at context switch. If the context switch
happens before the sampler is enabled, the PP register is
empty. That means, the PID of the task that is sampled is
not stored in sampling data until the next context switch.
Hence, always call lpp when enabling the sampler.

Extend the perf register support to also export floating-point register
contents for user space tasks. Floating-point registers might be used
in leaf functions to contain the return address. Hence, they are required
for proper DWARF unwinding.

Previously, the cpum_sf PMU was registered even if there is no
sampling mode authorized. Add a check and register cpum_sf only
at least one sampling mode is authorized.

Raw sample was implemented to export the diagnostic samples.
With having this achieved with AUX buffers, there is no requirement
for basic samples to export raw data. In particular, most basic
sampling information are consumed for creating the perf event sample.

Current implementation uses a private buffer for cpumf to dump samples.
Samples first go to this buffer. Then copy to ring buffer allocated
by perf core. With AUX buffer, this copy is not needed. AUX buffer is
shared and zero-copy mapped to user space. The trailer information at
the end of each SDB(sample data block) is also exported to user space.
AUX buffer is used when diagnostic sampling mode is enabled.
This patch contains functions to setup/free AUX buffer or to begin/end
sampling per-cpu. Also include function called in interrupt to
collect samples.
