alpha: lazy FPU switching

alpha: lazy FPU switching
On each context switch we save the FPU registers on stack of old process and restore FPU registers from the stack of new one. That allows us to avoid doing that each time we enter/leave the kernel mode; however, that can get suboptimal in some cases.
For one thing, we don't need to bother saving anything for kernel threads. For another, if between entering and leaving the kernel a thread gives CPU up more than once, it will do useless work, saving the same values every time, only to discard the saved copy as soon as it returns from switch_to().
Alternative solution:
* move the array we save into from switch_stack to thread_info * have a (thread-synchronous) flag set when we save them * have another flag set when they should be restored on return to userland. * do *NOT* save/restore them in do_switch_stack()/undo_switch_stack(). * restore on the exit to user mode if the restore flag had been set. Clear both flags. * on context switch, entry to fork/clone/vfork, before entry into do_signal() and on entry into straced syscall save the registers and set the 'saved' flag unless it had been already set. * on context switch set the 'restore' flag as well. * have copy_thread() set both flags for child, so the registers would be restored once the child returns to userland. * use the saved data in setup_sigcontext(); have restore_sigcontext() set both flags and copy from sigframe to save area. * teach ptrace to look for FPU registers in thread_info instead of switch_stack. * teach isolated accesses to FPU registers (rdfpcr, wrfpcr, etc.) to check the 'saved' flag (under preempt_disable()) and work with the save area if it's been set; if 'saved' flag is found upon write access, set 'restore' flag as well.

Construct init thread stack in the linker script rather than by union
Construct the init thread stack in the linker script rather than doing it by means of a union so that ia64's init_task.c can be got rid of.
The following symbols are then made available from INIT_TASK_DATA() linker script macro:
init_thread_union init_stack
INIT_TASK_DATA() also expands the region to THREAD_SIZE to accommodate the size of the init stack. init_thread_union is given its own section so that it can be placed into the stack space in the right order. I'm assuming that the ia64 ordering is correct and that the task_struct is first and the thread_info second.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

signal: consolidate {TS,TLF}_RESTORE_SIGMASK code
In general, there's no need for the "restore sigmask" flag to live in ti->flags. alpha, ia64, microblaze, powerpc, sh, sparc (64-bit only), tile, and x86 use essentially identical alternative implementations, placing the flag in ti->status.
Replace those optimized implementations with an equally good common implementation that stores it in a bitfield in struct task_struct and drop the custom implementations.
Additional architectures can opt in by removing their TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK defines.

all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_struct
If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting the restart block is a very juicy exploit target. This is because the restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.
Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by making the restart_block harder to locate.
Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy targets, at least on some architectures.
It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less identical on all architectures.

sched/idle, alpha: Switch from TS_POLLING to TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG
Standardize the idle polling indicator to TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG such that both TIF_NEED_RESCHED and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG are in the same word. This will allow us, using fetch_or(), to both set NEED_RESCHED and check for POLLING_NRFLAG in a single operation and avoid pointless wakeups.
Changing from the non-atomic thread_info::status flags to the atomic thread_info::flags shouldn't be a big issue since most polling state changes were followed/preceded by a full memory barrier anyway.

alpha: unbreak osf_setsysinfo(SSI_NVPAIRS, [SSIN_UACPROC, UAC_SIGBUS])

alpha: unbreak osf_setsysinfo(SSI_NVPAIRS, [SSIN_UACPROC, UAC_SIGBUS])
The bug was accidentally found by the following program:
#include <asm/sysinfo.h> #include <asm/unistd.h> #include <sys/syscall.h> static int setsysinfo(unsigned long op, void *buffer, unsigned long size, int *start, void *arg, unsigned long flag) { return syscall(__NR_osf_setsysinfo, op, buffer, size, start, arg, flag); }
int main(int argc, char **argv) { short x[10]; unsigned int buf[2] = { SSIN_UACPROC, UAC_SIGBUS, }; setsysinfo(SSI_NVPAIRS, buf, 1, 0, 0, 0);
int *y = (int*) (x+1); *y = 0; return 0; }
The program shoud fail on SIGBUS, but didn't.
The patch is a second part of userspace flag fix (commit 745dd2405e28 "Alpha: Rearrange thread info flags fixing two regressions").
Deleted outdated out-of-sync 'UAC_SHIFT' (the cause of bug) in favour of 'ALPHA_UAC_SHIFT'.

Alpha: Rearrange thread info flags fixing two regressions
The removal of the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag, commit a583f1b54249b "remove unused TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag," resulted in incorrect setting of the unaligned access control flags by the prctl syscall.
The re-addition of the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag, commit d0420c83f39f "KEYS: Extend TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME to (almost) all architectures [try #6]" further caused problems, namely incorrect operands to assembler code as evidenced by:
AS arch/alpha/kernel/entry.o arch/alpha/kernel/entry.S: Assembler messages: arch/alpha/kernel/entry.S:326: Warning: operand out of range (0x0000000000000406 is not between 0x0000000000000000 and 0x00000000000000ff)
Both regressions fixed by (1) rearranging TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag to be in lower 8 bits of the thread info flags, and (2) making sure that ALPHA_UAC_SHIFT matches the rearrangement of the thread info flags.

alpha: Clean up linker script using new linker script macros.
Note that .data.page_aligned and .data.cacheline_aligned are now after _data; it was probably a bug that they were before it.
Also, some explicit ALIGN(8)'s between various initcall sections were removed; this should be harmless as the implicit alignment of initcall_t was already 8.
