8d973b624e x86/kprobes: Fix typo transferred from Intel manual
The arch/x86/lib/x86-opcode-map.txt file [used by the
kprobes instruction decoder] contains the line:

  af: SCAS/W/D/Q rAX,Xv

This is what the Intel manuals show, but it's not correct.
The 'X' stands for:

  Memory addressed by the DS:rSI register pair (for example, MOVS, CMPS, OUTS, or LODS).

On the other hand 'Y' means (also see the ae byte entry for
SCASB):

  Memory addressed by the ES:rDI register pair (for example, MOVS, CMPS, INS, STOS, or SCAS).

53a019a951 x86: Fix insn decoder for longer instruction
Fix x86 insn decoder for hardening against invalid length
instructions. This adds length checkings for each byte-read
site and if it exceeds MAX_INSN_SIZE, returns immediately.
This can happen when decoding user-space binary.

Caller can check whether it happened by checking insn.*.got
member is set or not.

a750036f35 x86: Fix write lock scalability 64-bit issue
With the write lock path simply subtracting RW_LOCK_BIAS there
is, on large systems, the theoretical possibility of overflowing
the 32-bit value that was used so far (namely if 128 or more
CPUs manage to do the subtraction, but don't get to do the
inverse addition in the failure path quickly enough).

A first measure is to modify RW_LOCK_BIAS itself - with the new
value chosen, it is good for up to 2048 CPUs each allowed to
nest over 2048 times on the read path without causing an issue.
Quite possibly it would even be sufficient to adjust the bias a
little further, assuming that allowing for significantly less
nesting would suffice.

However, as the original value chosen allowed for even more
nesting levels, to support more than 2048 CPUs (possible
currently only for 64-bit kernels) the lock itself gets widened
to 64 bits.

26afb7c661 x86, 64-bit: Fix copy_[to/from]_user() checks for the userspace address limit
As reported in BZ #30352:

  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30352

there's a kernel bug related to reading the last allowed page on x86_64.

The _copy_to_user() and _copy_from_user() functions use the following
check for address limit:

  if (buf + size >= limit)
	fail();

while it should be more permissive:

  if (buf + size > limit)
	fail();

That's because the size represents the number of bytes being
read/write from/to buf address AND including the buf address.
So the copy function will actually never touch the limit
address even if "buf + size == limit".

Following program fails to use the last page as buffer
due to the wrong limit check:

 #include <sys/mman.h>
 #include <sys/socket.h>
 #include <assert.h>

 #define PAGE_SIZE       (4096)
 #define LAST_PAGE       ((void*)(0x7fffffffe000))

 int main()
 {
        int fds[2], err;
        void * ptr = mmap(LAST_PAGE, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
                          MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_FIXED, -1, 0);
        assert(ptr == LAST_PAGE);
        err = socketpair(AF_LOCAL, SOCK_STREAM, 0, fds);
        assert(err == 0);
        err = send(fds[0], ptr, PAGE_SIZE, 0);
        perror("send");
        assert(err == PAGE_SIZE);
        err = recv(fds[1], ptr, PAGE_SIZE, MSG_WAITALL);
        perror("recv");
        assert(err == PAGE_SIZE);
        return 0;
 }

The other place checking the addr limit is the access_ok() function,
which is working properly. There's just a misleading comment
for the __range_not_ok() macro - which this patch fixes as well.

The last page of the user-space address range is a guard page and
Brian Gerst observed that the guard page itself due to an erratum on K8 cpus
(#121 Sequential Execution Across Non-Canonical Boundary Causes Processor
Hang).

However, the test code is using the last valid page before the guard page.
The bug is that the last byte before the guard page can't be read
because of the off-by-one error. The guard page is left in place.

This bug would normally not show up because the last page is
part of the process stack and never accessed via syscalls.

3b4b682bec x86, mem: Optimize memmove for small size and unaligned cases
movs instruction will combine data to accelerate moving data,
however we need to concern two cases about it.

1. movs instruction need long lantency to startup,
   so here we use general mov instruction to copy data.
2. movs instruction is not good for unaligned case,
   even if src offset is 0x10, dest offset is 0x0,
   we avoid and handle the case by general mov instruction.

59daa706fb x86, mem: Optimize memcpy by avoiding memory false dependece
All read operations after allocation stage can run speculatively,
all write operation will run in program order, and if addresses are
different read may run before older write operation, otherwise wait
until write commit. However CPU don't check each address bit,
so read could fail to recognize different address even they
are in different page.For example if rsi is 0xf004, rdi is 0xe008,
in following operation there will generate big performance latency.
1. movq (%rsi),	%rax
2. movq %rax,	(%rdi)
3. movq 8(%rsi), %rax
4. movq %rax,	8(%rdi)

If %rsi and rdi were in really the same meory page, there are TRUE
read-after-write dependence because instruction 2 write 0x008 and
instruction 3 read 0x00c, the two address are overlap partially.
Actually there are in different page and no any issues,
but without checking each address bit CPU could think they are
in the same page, and instruction 3 have to wait for instruction 2
to write data into cache from write buffer, then load data from cache,
the cost time read spent is equal to mfence instruction. We may avoid it by
tuning operation sequence as follow.

1. movq 8(%rsi), %rax
2. movq %rax,	8(%rdi)
3. movq (%rsi),	%rax
4. movq %rax,	(%rdi)

Instruction 3 read 0x004, instruction 2 write address 0x010, no any
dependence.  At last on Core2 we gain 1.83x speedup compared with
original instruction sequence.  In this patch we first handle small
size(less 20bytes), then jump to different copy mode. Based on our
micro-benchmark small bytes from 1 to 127 bytes, we got up to 2X
improvement, and up to 1.5X improvement for 1024 bytes on Corei7.  (We
use our micro-benchmark, and will do further test according to your
requirment)

fdf4289679 x86, mem: Don't implement forward memmove() as memcpy()
memmove() allow source and destination address to be overlap, but
there is no such limitation for memcpy().  Therefore, explicitly
implement memmove() in both the forwards and backward directions, to
give us the ability to optimize memcpy().

30246557a0 x86, asm: Refactor atomic64_386_32.S to support old binutils and be cleaner
The old code didn't work on binutils 2.12 because setting a symbol to
a register apparently requires a fairly recent version.

This commit refactors the code to use the C preprocessor instead, and
in the process makes the whole code a bit easier to understand.

The object code produced is unchanged as expected.

This fixes kernel bugzilla 16506.

83a7a2ad2a x86, alternatives: Use 16-bit numbers for cpufeature index
We already have cpufeature indicies above 255, so use a 16-bit number
for the alternatives index.  This consumes a padding field and so
doesn't add any size, but it means that abusing the padding field to
create assembly errors on overflow no longer works.  We can retain the
test simply by redirecting it to the .discard section, however.
