x86/dumpstack: Add log_lvl to __show_regs()

show_trace_log_lvl() provides x86 platform-specific way to unwind
backtrace with a given log level. Unfortunately, registers dump(s) are
not printed with the same log level - instead, KERN_DEFAULT is always
used.

Arista's switches uses quite common setup with rsyslog, where only
urgent messages goes to console (console_log_level=KERN_ERR), everything
else goes into /var/log/ as the console baud-rate often is indecently
slow (9600 bps).

Backtrace dumps without registers printed have proven to be as useful as
morning standups. Furthermore, in order to introduce KERN_UNSUPPRESSED
(which I believe is still the most elegant way to fix raciness of sysrq[1])
the log level should be passed down the stack to register dumping
functions. Besides, there is a potential use-case for printing traces
with KERN_DEBUG level [2] (where registers dump shouldn't appear with
higher log level).

Add log_lvl parameter to __show_regs().
Keep the used log level intact to separate visible change.

x86/dumpstack: Introduce die_addr() for die() with #GP fault address

Split __die() into __die_header() and __die_body(). This allows inserting
extra information below the header line that initiates the bug report.

Introduce a new function die_addr() that behaves like die(), but is for
faults only and uses __die_header() and __die_body() so that a future
commit can print extra information after the header line.

[ bp: Comment the KASAN-specific usage of gp_addr. ]

x86/process: Don't mix user/kernel regs in 64bit __show_regs()

When the kernel.print-fatal-signals sysctl has been enabled, a simple
userspace crash will cause the kernel to write a crash dump that contains,
among other things, the kernel gsbase into dmesg.

As suggested by Andy, limit output to pt_regs, FS_BASE and KERNEL_GS_BASE
in this case.

This also moves the bitness-specific logic from show_regs() into
process_{32,64}.c.

x86/unwinder: Handle stack overflows more gracefully

There are at least two unwinder bugs hindering the debugging of
stack-overflow crashes:

- It doesn't deal gracefully with the case where the stack overflows and
the stack pointer itself isn't on a valid stack but the
to-be-dereferenced data *is*.

- The ORC oops dump code doesn't know how to print partial pt_regs, for the
case where if we get an interrupt/exception in *early* entry code
before the full pt_regs have been saved.

Fix both issues.

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.

x86/dumpstack: Remove kernel text addresses from stack dump

Printing kernel text addresses in stack dumps is of questionable value,
especially now that address randomization is becoming common.

It can be a security issue because it leaks kernel addresses. It also
affects the usefulness of the stack dump. Linus says:

"I actually spend time cleaning up commit messages in logs, because
useless data that isn't actually information (random hex numbers) is
actively detrimental.

It makes commit logs less legible.

It also makes it harder to parse dumps.

It's not useful. That makes it actively bad.

I probably look at more oops reports than most people. I have not
found the hex numbers useful for the last five years, because they are
just randomized crap.

The stack content thing just makes code scroll off the screen etc, for
example."

The only real downside to removing these addresses is that they can be
used to disambiguate duplicate symbol names. However such cases are
rare, and the context of the stack dump should be enough to be able to
figure it out.

There's now a 'faddr2line' script which can be used to convert a
function address to a file name and line:

$ ./scripts/faddr2line ~/k/vmlinux write_sysrq_trigger+0x51/0x60
write_sysrq_trigger+0x51/0x60:
write_sysrq_trigger at drivers/tty/sysrq.c:1098

Or gdb can be used:

$ echo "list *write_sysrq_trigger+0x51" |gdb ~/k/vmlinux |grep "is in"
(gdb) 0xffffffff815b5d83 is in driver_probe_device (/home/jpoimboe/git/linux/drivers/base/dd.c:378).

(But note that when there are duplicate symbol names, gdb will only show
the first symbol it finds. faddr2line is recommended over gdb because
it handles duplicates and it also does function size checking.)

Here's an example of what a stack dump looks like after this change:

we are in a kdump kernel or not:

5edd19af18a36a4 ("x86, UV: Make kdump avoid stack dumps")

But this flags was removed in the following commit:

9c48f1c629ecfa1 ("x86, nmi: Wire up NMI handlers to new routines")

Since it isn't used any more, remove it.

kexec: split kexec_load syscall from kexec core code

There are two kexec load syscalls, kexec_load another and kexec_file_load.
kexec_file_load has been splited as kernel/kexec_file.c. In this patch I
split kexec_load syscall code to kernel/kexec.c.

And add a new kconfig option KEXEC_CORE, so we can disable kexec_load and
use kexec_file_load only, or vice verse.

The original requirement is from Ted Ts'o, he want kexec kernel signature
being checked with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG enabled. But kexec-tools use
kexec_load syscall can bypass the checking.

Vivek Goyal proposed to create a common kconfig option so user can compile
in only one syscall for loading kexec kernel. KEXEC/KEXEC_FILE selects
KEXEC_CORE so that old config files still work.

Because there's general code need CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, so I updated all the
architecture Kconfig with a new option KEXEC_CORE, and let KEXEC selects
KEXEC_CORE in arch Kconfig. Also updated general kernel code with to
kexec_load syscall.

x86/dumpstack: Fix printk_address for direct addresses

Consider a kernel crash in a module, simulated the following way:

static int my_init(void)
{
char *map = (void *)0x5;
*map = 3;
return 0;
}
module_init(my_init);

When we turn off FRAME_POINTERs, the very first instruction in
that function causes a BUG. The problem is that we print IP in
the BUG report using %pB (from printk_address). And %pB
decrements the pointer by one to fix printing addresses of
functions with tail calls.

This was added in commit 71f9e59800e5ad4 ("x86, dumpstack: Use
%pB format specifier for stack trace") to fix the call stack
printouts.

So instead of correct output:

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000005
IP: [<ffffffffa01ac000>] my_init+0x0/0x10 [pb173]

We get:

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000005
IP: [<ffffffffa0152000>] 0xffffffffa0151fff

To fix that, we use %pS only for stack addresses printouts (via
newly added printk_stack_address) and %pB for regs->ip (via
printk_address). I.e. we revert to the old behaviour for all
except call stacks. And since from all those reliable is 1, we
remove that parameter from printk_address.

x86: Avoid double stack traces with show_regs()

What was called show_registers() so far already showed a stack
trace for kernel faults, and kernel_stack_pointer() isn't even
valid to be used for faults from user mode, hence it was
pointless for show_regs() to call show_trace() after
show_registers().

Simply rename show_registers() to show_regs() and eliminate
the old definition.

x86, dumpstack: Correct stack dump info when frame pointer is available

Current stack dump code scans entire stack and check each entry
contains a pointer to kernel code. If CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y it
could mark whether the pointer is valid or not based on value of
the frame pointer. Invalid entries could be preceded by '?' sign.

However this was not going to happen because scan start point
was always higher than the frame pointer so that they could not
meet.

Commit 9c0729dc8062 ("x86: Eliminate bp argument from the stack
tracing routines") delayed bp acquisition point, so the bp was
read in lower frame, thus all of the entries were marked
invalid.

This patch fixes this by reverting above commit while retaining
stack_frame() helper as suggested by Frederic Weisbecker.

End result looks like below:

x86, NMI: Remove DIE_NMI_IPI

With priorities in place and no one really understanding the difference between
DIE_NMI and DIE_NMI_IPI, just remove DIE_NMI_IPI and convert everyone to DIE_NMI.

This also simplifies default_do_nmi() a little bit. Instead of calling the
die_notifier in both the if and else part, just pull it out and call it before
the if-statement. This has the side benefit of avoiding a call to the ioport
to see if there is an external NMI sitting around until after the (more frequent)
internal NMIs are dealt with.

x86: Eliminate bp argument from the stack tracing routines

The various stack tracing routines take a 'bp' argument in which the
caller is supposed to provide the base pointer to use, or 0 if doesn't
have one. Since bp is garbage whenever CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not
defined, this means all callers in principle should either always pass
0, or be conditional on CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER.

However, there are only really three use cases for stack tracing:

(a) Trace the current task, including IRQ stack if any
(b) Trace the current task, but skip IRQ stack
(c) Trace some other task

In all cases, if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not defined, bp should just
be 0. If it _is_ defined, then

- in case (a) bp should be gotten directly from the CPU's register, so
the caller should pass NULL for regs,

- in case (b) the caller should should pass the IRQ registers to
dump_trace(),

- in case (c) bp should be gotten from the top of the task's stack, so
the caller should pass NULL for regs.

Hence, the bp argument is not necessary because the combination of
task and regs is sufficient to determine an appropriate value for bp.

This patch introduces a new inline function stack_frame(task, regs)
that computes the desired bp. This function is then called from the
two versions of dump_stack().

x86, UV: Make kdump avoid stack dumps - fix !CONFIG_KEXEC breakage

This replaces Version 1 of this patch, which broke the build when
CONFIG_KEXEC and CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP were configured off. In that case
the storage for the 'in_crash_kexec' flag was never built.

This version defines that flag as 0 if CONFIG_KEXEC is not set.
The patch is tested with all combinations of those two options.

x86, UV: Make kdump avoid stack dumps

UV NMI callback's should not write stack dumps when a kdump is to be written.

When invoking the crash kernel to write a dump, kdump_nmi_shootdown_cpus()
uses NMI's to get all the cpu's to save their register context and halt.

But the NMI interrupt handler runs a callback list. This patch sets a flag
to prevent any of those callbacks from interfering with the halt of the cpu.

For UV, which currently has the only callback to which this is relevant, the
uv_handle_nmi() callback should not do dumping of stacks.

The 'in_crash_kexec' flag is defined as an extern in kdebug.h firstly
because x2apic_uv_x.c includes it. Secondly because some future callback
might need the flag to know that it should not enter the debugger.
(Such a scenario was in fact present in the 2.6.32 kernel, SuSE distribution,
where a call to kdb needed to be avoided.)
