xtensa: remove vma linked list walks

Use the VMA iterator instead. Since VMA can no longer be NULL in the
loop, then deal with out-of-memory outside the loop. This means a
slightly longer run time in the failure case (-ENOMEM) - it will run to
the end of the VMAs before erroring instead of in the middle of the loop.

xtensa: stop filling syscall array with sys_ni_syscall

arch/xtensa/kernel/syscalls/syscalltbl.sh fills missing syscall numbers
with sys_ni_syscall.

So, the generated arch/xtensa/include/generated/asm/syscall_table.h
has no hole.

Hence, the line:

[0 ... __NR_syscalls - 1] = (syscall_t)&sys_ni_syscall,

is meaningless.

The number of generated __SYSCALL() macros is the same as __NR_syscalls
(this is 442 as of v5.11).

Hence, the array size, [__NR_syscalls] is unneeded.

The designated initializer, '[nr] =', is also unneeded.

This file does not need to know __NR_syscalls. Drop the unneeded
<asm/unistd.h> include directive.

xtensa: implement syscall tracepoints

Add TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT flag definition; add _TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT
to _TIF_WORK_MASK. Call trace_sys_enter from do_syscall_trace_enter and
trace_sys_exit from do_syscall_trace_leave when TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT
flag is set.
Add declaration of sys_call_table to arch/xtensa/include/asm/syscall.h
Add definition of NR_syscalls to arch/xtensa/include/asm/unistd.h
Select HAVE_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINTS.

This change allows tracing each syscall entry and exit through the
ftrace mechanism.

xtensa: generate uapi header and syscall table header files

System call table generation script must be run to gener-

have changes which will invokes the script.

This patch will generate unistd_32.h and syscall_table.h
files by the syscall table generation script invoked by
xtensa/Makefile and the generated files against the removed
files must be identical.

The generated uapi header file will be included in uapi/-

xtensa: add __NR_syscalls along with __NR_syscall_count

__NR_syscall_count macro holds the number of system call
exist in xtensa architecture. We have to change the value
of __NR_syscall_count, if we add or delete a system call.

One of the patch in this patch series has a script which
will generate a uapi header based on syscall.tbl file.
The syscall.tbl file contains the total number of system
calls information. So we have two option to update __NR-
_syscall_count value.

1. Update __NR_syscall_count in asm/unistd.h manually by
counting the no.of system calls. No need to update __NR-
_syscall_count until we either add a new system call or
delete existing system call.

2. We can keep this feature it above mentioned script,
that will count the number of syscalls and keep it in
a generated file. In this case we don't need to expli-
citly update __NR_syscall_count in asm/unistd.h file.

The 2nd option will be the recommended one. For that, I
added the __NR_syscalls macro in uapi/asm/unistd.h.
The macro __NR_syscalls also added for making the name
convention same across all architecture. While __NR_syscalls
isn't strictly part of the uapi, having it as part of the
generated header to simplifies the implementation. We also
need to enclose this macro with #ifdef __KERNEL__ to avoid
side effects.

mm: add ksys_fadvise64_64() helper; remove in-kernel call to sys_fadvise64_64()

Using the ksys_fadvise64_64() helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel
calls to the sys_fadvise64_64() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that
this function is meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In
particular, it uses the same calling convention as ksys_fadvise64_64().

Some compat stubs called sys_fadvise64(), which then just passed through
the arguments to sys_fadvise64_64(). Get rid of this indirection, and call
ksys_fadvise64_64() directly.

This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.
On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see

mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas

Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing
into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which
is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping.
But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in
userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly
used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX]
which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN.

This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default
no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be
tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call
could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical,
unfortunatelly.

Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap
to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size
because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in
the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack
allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is
somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot.

One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace,
but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong
for some special case applications. For now, add a kernel command line
option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units).

Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page:
because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a
stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point,
a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was
counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK
and strict non-overcommit mode.

Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard
gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start
(or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few
places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(),
and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.

xtensa: allow multi-inclusion for uapi/unistd.h

Xtensa implements a method that allows to generate a arbitrary output
for each system call by defining the __SYSCALL(number, function, num_args).
This usually requires to include uapi/unistd.h twice. Instead of removing
the guard agains multiple inclusion entirely, allow to include unistd.h again
only if __SYSCALL is defined. Note that __SYSCALL gets always undefined at
the end of the file.

ipc: add COMPAT_SHMLBA support

If the SHMLBA definition for a native task differs from the definition for
a compat task, the do_shmat() function would need to handle both.

This patch introduces COMPAT_SHMLBA, which is used by the compat shmat
syscall when calling the ipc code and allows architectures such as AArch64
(where the native SHMLBA is 64k but the compat (AArch32) definition is
16k) to provide the correct semantics for compat IPC system calls.

flag parameters: pipe

This patch introduces the new syscall pipe2 which is like pipe but it also
takes an additional parameter which takes a flag value. This patch implements
the handling of O_CLOEXEC for the flag. I did not add support for the new
syscall for the architectures which have a special sys_pipe implementation. I
think the maintainers of those archs have the chance to go with the unified
implementation but that's up to them.

The implementation introduces do_pipe_flags. I did that instead of changing
all callers of do_pipe because some of the callers are written in assembler.
I would probably screw up changing the assembly code. To avoid breaking code
do_pipe is now a small wrapper around do_pipe_flags. Once all callers are
changed over to do_pipe_flags the old do_pipe function can be removed.

The following test must be adjusted for architectures other than x86 and
x86-64 and in case the syscall numbers changed.
