Four instances of incorrect usage of non-static "inline" crept up
in arch/x86, all trivial; cleaning them up:
EVT_TO_HPET_DEV() - made static, it is only used in kernel/hpet.c
Debug version of check_iommu_entries() is an __init function.
Non-debug dummy empty version of it is declared "inline" instead -
which doesn't help to eliminate it (the caller is in a different unit,
inlining doesn't happen).
Switch to non-inlined __init function, which does eliminate it
(by discarding it as part of __init section).
crypto/sha-mb/sha1_mb.c: looks like they just forgot to add "static"
to their two internal inlines, which emitted two unused functions into
vmlinux.

Sadly, my hope that nobody would actually use the special kernel entries
in /proc/iomem were dashed by kexec. Which reads /proc/iomem explicitly
to find the kernel base address. Nasty.
Anyway, that means we can't do the sane and simple thing and just remove
the entries, and we'll instead have to mask them out based on permissions.

Allowing user code to map the HPET is problematic. HPET
implementations are notoriously buggy, and there are probably many
machines on which even MMIO reads from bogus HPET addresses are
problematic.
We have a report that the Dell Precision M2800 with:
ACPI: HPET 0x00000000C8FE6238 000038 (v01 DELL CBX3 01072009 AMI. 00000005)
is either so slow when accessing the HPET or actually hangs in some
regard, causing soft lockups to be reported if users do unexpected
things to the HPET.
The vclock HPET code has also always been a questionable speedup.
Accessing an HPET is exceedingly slow (on the order of several
microseconds), so the added overhead in requiring a syscall to read
the HPET is a small fraction of the total code of accessing it.
To avoid future problems, let's just delete the code entirely.
In the long run, this could actually be a speedup. Waiman Long as a
patch to optimize the case where multiple CPUs contend for the HPET,
but that won't help unless all the accesses are mediated by the
kernel.

ARCH_GET_FS and ARCH_GET_GS attempted to figure out the fsbase and
gsbase respectively from saved thread state. This was wrong: fsbase
and gsbase live in registers while a thread is running, not in
memory.
For reasons I can't fathom, the fsbase and gsbase code were
different. Since neither was correct, I didn't try to figure out
what the point of the difference was.
Change it to simply read the MSRs.
The code for reading the base for a remote thread is also completely
wrong if the target thread uses its own descriptors (which is the case
for all 32-bit threaded programs), but fixing that is a different
story.

Let's see if anybody even notices. I doubt anybody uses this, and it
does expose addresses that should be randomized, so let's just remove
the code. It's old and traditional, and it used to be cute, but we
should have removed this long ago.
If it turns out anybody notices and this breaks something, we'll have to
revert this, and maybe we'll end up using other approaches instead
(using %pK or similar). But removing unnecessary code is always the
preferred option.

Generalise system_verify_data() to provide access to internal content
through a callback. This allows all the PKCS#7 stuff to be hidden inside
this function and removed from the PE file parser and the PKCS#7 test key.
If external content is not required, NULL should be passed as data to the
function. If the callback is not required, that can be set to NULL.
The function is now called verify_pkcs7_signature() to contrast with
verify_pefile_signature() and the definitions of both have been moved into
linux/verification.h along with the key_being_used_for enum.

Reuse module loader code to write relocations, thereby eliminating the need
for architecture specific relocation code in livepatch. Specifically, reuse
the apply_relocate_add() function in the module loader to write relocations
instead of duplicating functionality in livepatch's arch-dependent
klp_write_module_reloc() function.
In order to accomplish this, livepatch modules manage their own relocation
sections (marked with the SHF_RELA_LIVEPATCH section flag) and
livepatch-specific symbols (marked with SHN_LIVEPATCH symbol section
index). To apply livepatch relocation sections, livepatch symbols
referenced by relocs are resolved and then apply_relocate_add() is called
to apply those relocations.
In addition, remove x86 livepatch relocation code and the s390
klp_write_module_reloc() function stub. They are no longer needed since
relocation work has been offloaded to module loader.
Lastly, mark the module as a livepatch module so that the module loader
canappropriately identify and initialize it.

A Xorg failure on qemu32 was reported as a regression [1] caused by
commit 9cd25aac1f ("x86/mm/pat: Emulate PAT when it is disabled").
This patch fixes the Xorg crash.
Negative effects of this regression were the following two failures [2]
in Xorg on QEMU with QEMU CPU model "qemu32" (-cpu qemu32), which were
triggered by the fact that its virtual CPU does not support MTRRs.
#1. copy_process() failed in the check in reserve_pfn_range()
copy_process
copy_mm
dup_mm
dup_mmap
copy_page_range
track_pfn_copy
reserve_pfn_range
A WC map request was tracked as WC in memtype, which set a PTE as
UC (pgprot) per __cachemode2pte_tbl[]. This led to this error in
reserve_pfn_range() called from track_pfn_copy(), which obtained
a pgprot from a PTE. It converts pgprot to page_cache_mode, which
does not necessarily result in the original page_cache_mode since
__cachemode2pte_tbl[] redirects multiple types to UC.
#2. error path in copy_process() then hit WARN_ON_ONCE in
untrack_pfn().
x86/PAT: Xorg:509 map pfn expected mapping type uncached-
minus for [mem 0xfd000000-0xfdffffff], got write-combining
Call Trace:
dump_stack
warn_slowpath_common
? untrack_pfn
? untrack_pfn
warn_slowpath_null
untrack_pfn
? __kunmap_atomic
unmap_single_vma
? pagevec_move_tail_fn
unmap_vmas
exit_mmap
mmput
copy_process.part.47
_do_fork
SyS_clone
do_syscall_32_irqs_on
entry_INT80_32
These negative effects are caused by two separate bugs, but they
can be addressed in separate patches. Fixing the pat_init() issue
described below addresses the root cause, and avoids Xorg to hit
these cases.
When the CPU does not support MTRRs, MTRR does not call pat_init(),
which leaves PAT enabled without initializing PAT. This pat_init()
issue is a long-standing issue, but manifested as issue #1 (and then
hit issue #2) with the above-mentioned commit because the memtype
now tracks cache attribute with 'page_cache_mode'.
This pat_init() issue existed before the commit, but we used pgprot
in memtype. Hence, we did not have issue #1 before. But WC request
resulted in WT in effect because WC pgrot is actually WT when PAT
is not initialized. This is not how it was designed to work. When
PAT is set to disable properly, WC is converted to UC. The use of
WT can result in a system crash if the target range does not support
WT. Fortunately, nobody ran into such issue before.
To fix this pat_init() issue, PAT code has been enhanced to provide
pat_disable() interface. Call this interface when MTRRs are disabled.
By setting PAT to disable properly, PAT bypasses the memtype check,
and avoids issue #1.
