The debug control MSR is "highly magical" as the blockstep bit can be
cleared by hardware under not well documented circumstances.
So a task switch relying on the bit set by the previous task (according to
the previous tasks thread flags) can trip over this and not update the flag
for the next task.
To fix this its required to handle DEBUGCTLMSR_BTF when either the previous
or the next or both tasks have the TIF_BLOCKSTEP flag set.
While at it avoid branching within the TIF_BLOCKSTEP case and evaluating
boot_cpu_data twice in kernels without CONFIG_X86_DEBUGCTLMSR.

The purgatory code defines global variables which are referenced via a
symbol lookup in the kexec code (core and arch).
A recent commit addressing sparse warnings made these static and thereby
broke kexec_file.
Why did this happen? Simply because the whole machinery is undocumented and
lacks any form of forward declarations. The variable names are unspecific
and lack a prefix, so adding forward declarations creates shadow variables
in the core code. Aside of that the code relies on magic constants and
duplicate struct definitions with no way to ensure that these things stay
in sync. The section placement of the purgatory variables happened by
chance and not by design.
Unbreak kexec and cleanup the mess:
- Add proper forward declarations and document the usage
- Use common struct definition
- Use the proper common defines instead of magic constants
- Add a purgatory_ prefix to have a proper name space
- Use ARRAY_SIZE() instead of a homebrewn reimplementation
- Add proper sections to the purgatory variables [ From Mike ]

The reboot quirk for ASUS EeeBook X205TA contains a typo in
DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, improperly referring to X205TAW instead of
X205TA, which prevents the quirk from being triggered. The
model X205TAW already has a reboot quirk of its own.
This fix simply removes the inappropriate final letter W.

For live patching and possibly other use cases, a stack trace is only
useful if it can be assured that it's completely reliable. Add a new
save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable() function to achieve that.
Note that if the target task isn't the current task, and the target task
is allowed to run, then it could be writing the stack while the unwinder
is reading it, resulting in possible corruption. So the caller of
save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable() must ensure that the task is either
'current' or inactive.
save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable() relies on the x86 unwinder's detection
of pt_regs on the stack. If the pt_regs are not user-mode registers
from a syscall, then they indicate an in-kernel interrupt or exception
(e.g. preemption or a page fault), in which case the stack is considered
unreliable due to the nature of frame pointers.
It also relies on the x86 unwinder's detection of other issues, such as:
- corrupted stack data
- stack grows the wrong way
- stack walk doesn't reach the bottom
- user didn't provide a large enough entries array
Such issues are reported by checking unwind_error() and !unwind_done().
Also add CONFIG_HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE so arch-independent code can
determine at build time whether the function is implemented.

It doesn't really start a CPU but does a far jump to C code. So call it
that. Eliminate the unconditional JMP to it from secondary_startup_64()
but make the jump to C code piece part of secondary_startup_64()
instead.
Also, it doesn't need to be a global symbol either so make it a local
label. One less needlessly global symbol in the symbol table.

Sergey reported a might sleep warning triggered from the hpet resume
path. It's caused by the call to disable_irq() from interrupt disabled
context.
The problem with the low level resume code is that it is not accounted as a
special system_state like we do during the boot process. Calling the same
code during system boot would not trigger the warning. That's inconsistent
at best.
In this particular case it's trivial to replace the disable_irq() with
disable_hardirq() because this particular code path is solely used from
system resume and the involved hpet interrupts can never be force threaded.

Wanpeng Li reported that since the following commit:
acb04058de ("sched/clock: Fix hotplug crash")
... KVM always runs with unstable sched-clock even though KVM's
kvm_clock _is_ stable.
The problem is that we've tied clear_sched_clock_stable() to the TSC
state, and overlooked that sched_clock() is a paravirt function.
Solve this by doing two things:
- tie the sched_clock() stable state more clearly to the TSC stable
state for the normal (!paravirt) case.
- only call clear_sched_clock_stable() when we mark TSC unstable
when we use native_sched_clock().
The first means we can actually run with stable sched_clock in more
situations then before, which is good. And since commit:
12907fbb1a ("sched/clock, clocksource: Add optional cs::mark_unstable() method")
... this should be reliable. Since any detection of TSC fail now results
in marking the TSC unstable.

The '__unreachable' and '__func_stack_frame_non_standard' sections are
only used at compile time. They're discarded for vmlinux but they
should also be discarded for modules.
Since this is a recurring pattern, prefix the section names with
".discard.". It's a nice convention and vmlinux.lds.h already discards
such sections.
Also remove the 'a' (allocatable) flag from the __unreachable section
since it doesn't make sense for a discarded section.

Pull objtool fixes from Ingo Molnar:
"A handful of objtool fixes related to unreachable code, plus a build
fix for out of tree modules"
* 'core-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:

objtool: Prevent GCC from merging annotate_unreachable()
objtool: Improve detection of BUG() and other dead ends
objtool: Fix CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION=y warning for out-of-tree modules
Apart from adding the helper function itself, the rest of the kernel is
converted mechanically using:
git grep -l 'atomic_inc.*mm_count' | xargs sed -i 's/atomic_inc(&\(.*\)->mm_count);/mmgrab\(\1\);/'
git grep -l 'atomic_inc.*mm_count' | xargs sed -i 's/atomic_inc(&\(.*\)\.mm_count);/mmgrab\(\&\1\);/'
This is needed for a later patch that hooks into the helper, but might
be a worthwhile cleanup on its own.
(Michal Hocko provided most of the kerneldoc comment.)

Backmerge the main pull request to sync up with all the newly landed
drivers. Otherwise we'll have chaos even before 4.12 started in
earnest.

Pull rdma DMA mapping updates from Doug Ledford:
"Drop IB DMA mapping code and use core DMA code instead.
Bart Van Assche noted that the ib DMA mapping code was significantly
similar enough to the core DMA mapping code that with a few changes it
was possible to remove the IB DMA mapping code entirely and switch the
RDMA stack to use the core DMA mapping code.
This resulted in a nice set of cleanups, but touched the entire tree
and has been kept separate for that reason."
