Andy spotted a regression in the fs/gs base helpers after the patch series
was committed. The helper functions which write fs/gs base are not just
writing the base, they are also changing the index. That's wrong and needs
to be separated because writing the base has not to modify the index.
While the regression is not causing any harm right now because the only
caller depends on that behaviour, it's a guarantee for subtle breakage down
the road.
Make the index explicitly changed from the caller, instead of including
the code in the helpers.
Subsequently, the task write helpers do not handle for the current task
anymore. The range check for a base value is also factored out, to minimize
code redundancy from the caller.

Pull siginfo updates from Eric Biederman:
"I have been slowly sorting out siginfo and this is the culmination of
that work.
The primary result is in several ways the signal infrastructure has
been made less error prone. The code has been updated so that manually
specifying SEND_SIG_FORCED is never necessary. The conversion to the
new siginfo sending functions is now complete, which makes it
difficult to send a signal without filling in the proper siginfo
fields.
At the tail end of the patchset comes the optimization of decreasing
the size of struct siginfo in the kernel from 128 bytes to about 48
bytes on 64bit. The fundamental observation that enables this is by
definition none of the known ways to use struct siginfo uses the extra
bytes.
This comes at the cost of a small user space observable difference.
For the rare case of siginfo being injected into the kernel only what
can be copied into kernel_siginfo is delivered to the destination, the
rest of the bytes are set to 0. For cases where the signal and the
si_code are known this is safe, because we know those bytes are not
used. For cases where the signal and si_code combination is unknown
the bits that won't fit into struct kernel_siginfo are tested to
verify they are zero, and the send fails if they are not.
I made an extensive search through userspace code and I could not find
anything that would break because of the above change. If it turns out
I did break something it will take just the revert of a single change
to restore kernel_siginfo to the same size as userspace siginfo.
Testing did reveal dependencies on preferring the signo passed to
sigqueueinfo over si->signo, so bit the bullet and added the
complexity necessary to handle that case.
Testing also revealed bad things can happen if a negative signal
number is passed into the system calls. Something no sane application
will do but something a malicious program or a fuzzer might do. So I
have fixed the code that performs the bounds checks to ensure negative
signal numbers are handled"

Introduce FS/GS base access functionality via <asm/fsgsbase.h>,
not yet used by anything directly.
Factor out task_seg_base() from x86/ptrace.c and rename it to
x86_fsgsbase_read_task() to make it part of the new helpers.
This will allow us to enhance FSGSBASE support and eventually enable
the FSBASE/GSBASE instructions.
An "inactive" GS base refers to a base saved at kernel entry
and being part of an inactive, non-running/stopped user-task.
(The typical ptrace model.)
Here are the new functions:
x86_fsbase_read_task()
x86_gsbase_read_task()
x86_fsbase_write_task()
x86_gsbase_write_task()
x86_fsbase_read_cpu()
x86_fsbase_write_cpu()
x86_gsbase_read_cpu_inactive()
x86_gsbase_write_cpu_inactive()
As an advantage of the unified namespace we can now see all FS/GSBASE
API use in the kernel via the following 'git grep' pattern:

Replace user_single_step_siginfo with user_single_step_report
that allocates siginfo structure on the stack and sends it.
This allows tracehook_report_syscall_exit to become a simple
if statement that calls user_single_step_report or ptrace_report_syscall
depending on the value of step.
Update the default helper function now called user_single_step_report
to explicitly set si_code to SI_USER and to set si_uid and si_pid to 0.
The default helper has always been doing this (using memset) but it
was far from obvious.
The powerpc helper can now just call force_sig_fault.
The x86 helper can now just call send_sigtrap.
Unfortunately the default implementation of user_single_step_report
can not use force_sig_fault as it does not use a SIGTRAP si_code.
So it has to carefully setup the siginfo and use use force_sig_info.
The net result is code that is easier to understand and simpler
to maintain.

Call clear_siginfo to ensure every stack allocated siginfo is properly
initialized before being passed to the signal sending functions.
Note: It is not safe to depend on C initializers to initialize struct
siginfo on the stack because C is allowed to skip holes when
initializing a structure.
The initialization of struct siginfo in tracehook_report_syscall_exit
was moved from the helper user_single_step_siginfo into
tracehook_report_syscall_exit itself, to make it clear that the local
variable siginfo gets fully initialized.
In a few cases the scope of struct siginfo has been reduced to make it
clear that siginfo siginfo is not used on other paths in the function
in which it is declared.
Instances of using memset to initialize siginfo have been replaced
with calls clear_siginfo for clarity.

The TS_COMPAT bit is very hot and is accessed from code paths that mostly
also touch thread_info::flags. Move it into struct thread_info to improve
cache locality.
The only reason it was in thread_struct is that there was a brief period
during which arch-specific fields were not allowed in struct thread_info.
Linus suggested further changing:
ti->status &= ~(TS_COMPAT|TS_I386_REGS_POKED);
to:
if (unlikely(ti->status & (TS_COMPAT|TS_I386_REGS_POKED)))
ti->status &= ~(TS_COMPAT|TS_I386_REGS_POKED);
on the theory that frequently dirtying the cacheline even in pure 64-bit
code that never needs to modify status hurts performance. That could be a
reasonable followup patch, but I suspect it matters less on top of this
patch.

Pull x86 vdso updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this cycle centered around adding support for
32-bit compatible C/R of the vDSO on 64-bit kernels, by Dmitry
Safonov"
* 'x86-vdso-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
x86/vdso: Use CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI to enable vdso prctl
x86/vdso: Only define map_vdso_randomized() if CONFIG_X86_64

x86/arch_prctl/vdso: Add ARCH_MAP_VDSO_*
x86/vdso: Replace calculate_addr in map_vdso() with addr
x86/vdso: Unmap vdso blob on vvar mapping failure
On x86_32, when an interrupt happens from kernel space, SS and SP aren't
pushed and the existing stack is used. So pt_regs is effectively two
words shorter, and the previous stack pointer is normally the memory
after the shortened pt_regs, aka '®s->sp'.
But in the rare case where the interrupt hits right after the stack
pointer has been changed to point to an empty stack, like for example
when call_on_stack() is used, the address immediately after the
shortened pt_regs is no longer on the stack. In that case, instead of
'®s->sp', the previous stack pointer should be retrieved from the
beginning of the current stack page.
kernel_stack_pointer() wants to do that, but it forgets to dereference
the pointer. So instead of returning a pointer to the previous stack,
it returns a pointer to the beginning of the current stack.
Note that it's probably outside of kernel_stack_pointer()'s scope to be
switching stacks at all. The x86_64 version of this function doesn't do
it, and it would be better for the caller to do it if necessary. But
that's a patch for another day. This just fixes the original intent.

As far as I know, the optimization doesn't work on any modern distro
because modern distros use high addresses for ASLR. Remove it.
The ptrace code was either wrong or very strange, but the behavior
with this patch should be essentially identical to the behavior
without this patch unless user code goes out of its way to mislead
ptrace.
On newer CPUs, once the FSGSBASE instructions are enabled, we won't
want to use the optimized variant anyway.
This isn't actually much of a performance regression, it has no effect
on normal dynamically linked programs, and it's a considerably
simplification. It also removes some nasty special cases from code
that is already way too full of special cases for comfort.

Pull audit updates from Eric Paris:
"So this change across a whole bunch of arches really solves one basic
problem. We want to audit when seccomp is killing a process. seccomp
hooks in before the audit syscall entry code. audit_syscall_entry
took as an argument the arch of the given syscall. Since the arch is
part of what makes a syscall number meaningful it's an important part
of the record, but it isn't available when seccomp shoots the
syscall...
For most arch's we have a better way to get the arch (syscall_get_arch)
So the solution was two fold: Implement syscall_get_arch() everywhere
there is audit which didn't have it. Use syscall_get_arch() in the
seccomp audit code. Having syscall_get_arch() everywhere meant it was
a useless flag on the stack and we could get rid of it for the typical
syscall entry.
The other changes inside the audit system aren't grand, fixed some
records that had invalid spaces. Better locking around the task comm
field. Removing some dead functions and structs. Make some things
static. Really minor stuff"

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.

The RCU context tracking code requires that arch code call
user_exit() on any entry into kernel code if TIF_NOHZ is set. This
patch adds a check for TIF_NOHZ and a comment to the syscall entry
tracing code.
The main purpose of this patch is to make the code easier to follow:
one can read the body of user_exit and of every function it calls
without finding any explanation of why it's called for traced
syscalls but not for untraced syscalls. This makes it clear when
user_exit() is necessary.

The secure_computing function took a syscall number parameter, but
it only paid any attention to that parameter if seccomp mode 1 was
enabled. Rather than coming up with a kludge to get the parameter
to work in mode 2, just remove the parameter.
To avoid churn in arches that don't have seccomp filters (and may
not even support syscall_get_nr right now), this leaves the
parameter in secure_computing_strict, which is now a real function.
For ARM, this is a bit ugly due to the fact that ARM conditionally
supports seccomp filters. Fixing that would probably only be a
couple of lines of code, but it should be coordinated with the audit
maintainers.
This will be a slight slowdown on some arches. The right fix is to
pass in all of seccomp_data instead of trying to make just the
syscall nr part be fast.
This is a prerequisite for making two-phase seccomp work cleanly.

x86_64 uses a per_cpu variable kernel_stack to always point to
the thread stack of current. This is where the thread_info is stored
and is accessed from this location even when the irq or exception stack
is in use. This removes the complexity of having to maintain the
thread info on the stack when interrupts are running and having to
copy the preempt_count and other fields to the interrupt stack.
x86_32 uses the old method of copying the thread_info from the thread
stack to the exception stack just before executing the exception.
Having the two different requires #ifdefs and also the x86_32 way
is a bit of a pain to maintain. By converting x86_32 to the same
method of x86_64, we can remove #ifdefs, clean up the x86_32 code
a little, and remove the overhead of the copy.

The i386 thread_info contains a previous_esp field that is used
to daisy chain the different stacks for dump_stack()
(ie. irq, softirq, thread stacks).
The goal is to eventual make i386 handling of thread_info the same
as x86_64, which means that the thread_info will not be in the stack
but as a per_cpu variable. We will no longer depend on thread_info
being able to daisy chain different stacks as it will only exist
in one location (the thread stack).
By moving previous_esp to the end of thread_info and referencing
it as an offset instead of using a thread_info field, this becomes
a stepping stone to moving the thread_info.
The offset to get to the previous stack is rather ugly in this
patch, but this is only temporary and the prev_esp will be changed
in the next commit. This commit is more for sanity checks of the
change.

ptrace_write_dr7() skips ptrace_modify_breakpoint(disabled => true)
unless second_pass, this buys nothing but complicates the code and means
that we always do the main loop twice even if "disabled" was never true.
The comment says:
Don't unregister the breakpoints right-away,
unless all register_user_hw_breakpoint()
requests have succeeded.
Firstly, we do not do register_user_hw_breakpoint(), it was removed by
commit 24f1e32c60 ("hw-breakpoints: Rewrite the hw-breakpoints layer
on top of perf events").
We are going to restore register_user_hw_breakpoint() (see the next
patch) but this doesn't matter: after commit 44234adcdc
("hw-breakpoints: Modify breakpoints without unregistering them")
perf_event_disable() can not hurt, hw_breakpoint_del() does not free the
slot.
Remove the "second_pass" check from the main loop and simplify the code.
Since we have to check "bp != NULL" anyway, the patch also removes the
same check in ptrace_modify_breakpoint() and moves the comment into
ptrace_write_dr7().
With this patch the second pass is only needed to restore the saved
old_dr7. This should never fail, so the patch adds WARN_ON() to catch
the potential problems as Frederic suggested.
