x86/unwind: Recover kretprobe trampoline entry

Since the kretprobe replaces the function return address with
the kretprobe_trampoline on the stack, x86 unwinders can not
continue the stack unwinding at that point, or record
kretprobe_trampoline instead of correct return address.

To fix this issue, find the correct return address from task's
kretprobe_instances as like as function-graph tracer does.

With this fix, the unwinder can correctly unwind the stack
from kretprobe event on x86, as below.

<...>-135 [003] ...1 6.722338: r_full_proxy_read_0: (vfs_read+0xab/0x1a0 <- full_proxy_read)

x86/unwind: Add the ORC unwinder

Add the new ORC unwinder which is enabled by CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y.
It plugs into the existing x86 unwinder framework.

It relies on objtool to generate the needed .orc_unwind and
.orc_unwind_ip sections.

For more details on why ORC is used instead of DWARF, see
Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt - but the short version is
that it's a simplified, fundamentally more robust debugninfo
data structure, which also allows up to two orders of magnitude
faster lookups than the DWARF unwinder - which matters to
profiling workloads like perf.

Thanks to Andy Lutomirski for the performance improvement ideas:
splitting the ORC unwind table into two parallel arrays and creating a
fast lookup table to search a subset of the unwind table.

x86/unwind: Ensure stack pointer is aligned

With frame pointers disabled, on some older versions of GCC (like
4.8.3), it's possible for the stack pointer to get aligned at a
half-word boundary:

00000000000004d0 <fib_table_lookup>:
4d0: 41 57 push %r15
4d2: 41 56 push %r14
4d4: 41 55 push %r13
4d6: 41 54 push %r12
4d8: 55 push %rbp
4d9: 53 push %rbx
4da: 48 83 ec 24 sub $0x24,%rsp

In such a case, the unwinder ends up reading the entire stack at the
wrong alignment. Then the last read goes past the end of the stack,
hitting the stack guard page:

BUG: stack guard page was hit at ffffc900217c4000 (stack is ffffc900217c0000..ffffc900217c3fff)
kernel stack overflow (page fault): 0000 [#1] SMP
...

Fix it by ensuring the stack pointer is properly aligned before
unwinding.

x86/unwind: Fix guess-unwinder regression

My attempt at fixing some KASAN false positive warnings was rather brain
dead, and it broke the guess unwinder. With frame pointers disabled,
/proc/<pid>/stack is broken:

# cat /proc/1/stack
[<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff

Restore the code flow to more closely resemble its previous state, while
still using READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() macros to silence KASAN false positives.

x86/unwind: Prevent KASAN false positive warnings in guess unwinder

The guess unwinder scans the entire stack, which can cause KASAN
"stack-out-of-bounds" false positive warnings. Tell KASAN to ignore it.

The NMI hit in the entry code right after setting up the stack pointer
from 'cpu_current_top_of_stack', so the kernel stack was empty. The
'guess' version of __unwind_start() attempted to dereference the "top of
stack" pointer, which is not actually *on* the stack.

Add a check in the guess unwinder to deal with an empty stack. (The
frame pointer unwinder already has such a check.)

x86/unwind: Fix oprofile module link error

When compiling on x86 with CONFIG_OPROFILE=m and CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=n,
the oprofile module fails to link:

ERROR: ftrace_graph_ret_addr" [arch/x86/oprofile/oprofile.ko] undefined!

The problem was introduced when oprofile was converted to use the new
x86 unwinder. When frame pointers are disabled, the "guess" unwinder's
unwind_get_return_address() is an inline function which calls
ftrace_graph_ret_addr(), which is not exported.

Fix it by converting the "guess" version of unwind_get_return_address()
to an exported out-of-line function, just like its frame pointer
counterpart.

x86/unwind: Add new unwind interface and implementations

The x86 stack dump code is a bit of a mess. dump_trace() uses
callbacks, and each user of it seems to have slightly different
requirements, so there are several slightly different callbacks floating
around.

Also there are some upcoming features which will need more changes to
the stack dump code, including the printing of stack pt_regs, reliable
stack detection for live patching, and a DWARF unwinder. Each of those
features would at least need more callbacks and/or callback interfaces,
resulting in a much bigger mess than what we have today.

Before doing all that, we should try to clean things up and replace
dump_trace() with something cleaner and more flexible.

The new unwinder is a simple state machine which was heavily inspired by
a suggestion from Andy Lutomirski:

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CALCETrUbNTqaM2LRyXGRx=kVLRPeY5A3Pc6k4TtQxF320rUT=w@mail.gmail.com

It's also similar to the libunwind API:

http://www.nongnu.org/libunwind/man/libunwind(3).html

Some if its advantages:

- Simplicity: no more callback sprawl and less code duplication.

- Flexibility: it allows the caller to stop and inspect the stack state
at each step in the unwinding process.

- Modularity: the unwinder code, console stack dump code, and stack
metadata analysis code are all better separated so that changing one
of them shouldn't have much of an impact on any of the others.

Two implementations are added which conform to the new unwind interface:

- The frame pointer unwinder which is used for CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y.

- The "guess" unwinder which is used for CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=n. This
isn't an "unwinder" per se. All it does is scan the stack for kernel
text addresses. But with no frame pointers, guesses are better than
nothing in most cases.
