There are no remaining callers of set_fs(), so just remove it
along with all associated code that operates on
thread_info-&gt;addr_limit.

There are still further optimizations that can be done:

- In get_user(), the address check could be moved entirely
  into the out of line code, rather than passing a constant
  as an argument,

- I assume the DACR handling can be simplified as we now
  only change it during user access when CONFIG_CPU_SW_DOMAIN_PAN
  is set, but not during set_fs().

<id>4e57a4ddf6b0d9cce1cf2ffd153df1ad3c2c9cc2</id>
<content type='text'>
The system call number is used in a a couple of places, in particular
ptrace, seccomp and /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/syscall.

The last one apparently never worked reliably on ARM for tasks that are
not currently getting traced.

Storing the syscall number in the normal entry path makes it work,
as well as allowing us to see if the current system call is for OABI
compat mode, which is the next thing I want to hook into.

Since the thread_info-&gt;syscall field is not just the number any more, it
is now renamed to abi_syscall. In kernels that enable both OABI and EABI,
the upper bits of this field encode 0x900000 (__NR_OABI_SYSCALL_BASE)
for OABI tasks, while normal EABI tasks do not set the upper bits. This
makes it possible to implement the in_oabi_syscall() helper later.

All other users of thread_info-&gt;syscall go through the syscall_get_nr()
helper, which in turn filters out the ABI bits.

Note that the ABI information is lost with PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL, so one
cannot set the internal number to a particular version, but this was
already the case. We could change it to let gdb encode the ABI type along
with the syscall in a CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT-enabled kernel, but that itself
would be a (backwards-compatible) ABI change, so I don't do it here.

<title>ARM: ep93xx: remove MaverickCrunch support</title>

<id>12c3dca25d2fa17a101de0d80bf3f238b1cecbae</id>
<content type='text'>
The MaverickCrunch support for ep93xx never made it into glibc and
was removed from gcc in its 4.8 release in 2012. It is now one of
the last parts of arch/arm/ that fails to build with the clang
integrated assembler, which is unlikely to ever want to support it.

The two alternatives are to force the use of binutils/gas when
building the crunch support, or to remove it entirely.

According to Hartley Sweeten:

 "Martin Guy did a lot of work trying to get the maverick crunch working
  but I was never able to successfully use it for anything. It "kind"
  of works but depending on the EP93xx silicon revision there are still
  a number of hardware bugs that either give imprecise or garbage results.

  I have no problem with removing the kernel support for the maverick
  crunch."

Unless someone else comes up with a good reason to keep it around,
remove it now. This touches mostly the ep93xx platform, but removes
a bit of code from ARM common ptrace and signal frame handling as well.

If there are remaining users of MaverickCrunch, they can use LTS
kernels for at least another five years before kernel support ends.

<title>ARM: 9075/1: kernel: Fix interrupted SMC calls</title>

On Qualcomm ARM32 platforms, the SMC call can return before it has
completed. If this occurs, the call can be restarted, but it requires
using the returned session ID value from the interrupted SMC call.

The ARM32 SMCC code already has the provision to add platform specific
quirks for things like this. So let's make use of it and add the
Qualcomm specific quirk (ARM_SMCCC_QUIRK_QCOM_A6) used by the QCOM_SCM
driver.

This change is similar to the below one added for ARM64 a while ago:
commit 82bcd087029f ("firmware: qcom: scm: Fix interrupted SCM calls")

Without this change, the Qualcomm ARM32 platforms like SDX55 will return
-EINVAL for SMC calls used for modem firmware loading and validation.

Giancarlo Ferrari reports the following oops while trying to use kexec:

 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 80112f38
 pgd = fd7ef03e
 [80112f38] *pgd=0001141e(bad)
 Internal error: Oops: 80d [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM
 ...

This is caused by machine_kexec() trying to set the kernel text to be
read/write, so it can poke values into the relocation code before
copying it - and an interrupt occuring which changes the page tables.
The subsequent writes then hit read-only sections that trigger a
data abort resulting in the above oops.

Fix this by copying the relocation code, and then writing the variables
into the destination, thereby avoiding the need to make the kernel text
read/write.

<title>Raise gcc version requirement to 4.9</title>

I realize that we fairly recently raised it to 4.8, but the fact is, 4.9
is a much better minimum version to target.

We have a number of workarounds for actual bugs in pre-4.9 gcc versions
(including things like internal compiler errors on ARM), but we also
have some syntactic workarounds for lacking features.

In particular, raising the minimum to 4.9 means that we can now just
assume _Generic() exists, which is likely the much better replacement
for a lot of very convoluted built-time magic with conditionals on
sizeof and/or __builtin_choose_expr() with same_type() etc.

Using _Generic also means that you will need to have a very recent
version of 'sparse', but thats easy to build yourself, and much less of
a hassle than some old gcc version can be.

The latest (in a long string) of reasons for minimum compiler version
upgrades was commit 5435f73d5c4a ("efi/x86: Fix build with gcc 4").

Ard points out that RHEL 7 uses gcc-4.8, but the people who stay back on
old RHEL versions persumably also don't build their own kernels anyway.
And maybe they should cross-built or just have a little side affair with
a newer compiler?

That's it. Remove all references to KVM itself, and document
that although it is no more, the ABI between SVC and HYP still
exists.

<title>ARM: smp: add support for per-task stack canaries</title>

On ARM, we currently only change the value of the stack canary when
switching tasks if the kernel was built for UP. On SMP kernels, this
is impossible since the stack canary value is obtained via a global
symbol reference, which means
a) all running tasks on all CPUs must use the same value
b) we can only modify the value when no kernel stack frames are live
   on any CPU, which is effectively never.

So instead, use a GCC plugin to add a RTL pass that replaces each
reference to the address of the __stack_chk_guard symbol with an
expression that produces the address of the 'stack_canary' field
that is added to struct thread_info. This way, each task will use
its own randomized value.
