 "A set of small fixes:

   - make KGDB work again which got broken by the conversion of WARN()
     to #UD. The WARN fixup needs to run before the notifier callchain,
     otherwise KGDB tries to handle it and crashes.

   - disable KASAN in the ORC unwinder to prevent false positive KASAN
     warnings

   - prevent default mapping above 47bit when 5 level page tables are
     enabled

   - make the delay calibration optimization work correctly, which had
     the conditionals the wrong way around and was operating on data
     which was not yet updated.

   - remove the bogus X86_TRAP_BP trap init from the default IDT init
     table, which broke 32bit int3 handling by overwriting the correct
     int3 setup.

   - replace this_cpu* with boot_cpu_data access in the preemptible
     oprofile init code"

This reverts commit 941f5f0f6ef5338814145cf2b813cf1f98873e2f.

Sadly, it turns out that we really can't just do the cross-CPU IPI to
all CPU's to get their proper frequencies, because it's much too
expensive on systems with lots of cores.

So we'll have to revert this for now, and revisit it using a smarter
model (probably doing one system-wide IPI at open time, and doing all
the frequency calculations in parallel).

Commit:

  9a93848fe787 ("x86/debug: Implement __WARN() using UD0")

turned warnings into UD0, but the fixup code only runs after the
notify_die() chain. This is a problem, in particular, with kgdb,
which kicks in as if it was a BUG().

Fix this by running the fixup code before the notifier chain in
the invalid op handler path.

<title>x86/idt: Remove X86_TRAP_BP initialization in idt_setup_traps()</title>

<content type='text'>
Commit b70543a0b2b6("x86/idt: Move regular trap init to tables") moves
regular trap init for each trap vector into a table based
initialization. It introduced the initialization for vector X86_TRAP_BP
which was not in the code which it replaced. This breaks uprobe
functionality for x86_32; the probed program segfaults instead of handling
the probe proper.

The reason for this is that TRAP_BP is set up as system interrupt gate
(DPL3) in the early IDT and then replaced by a regular interrupt gate
(DPL0) in idt_setup_traps(). The DPL0 restriction causes the int3 trap
to fail with a #GP resulting in a SIGSEGV of the probed program.

On 64bit this does not cause a problem because the IDT entry is replaced
with a system interrupt gate (DPL3) with interrupt stack afterwards.

Remove X86_TRAP_BP from the def_idts table which is used in
idt_setup_traps(). Remove a redundant entry for X86_TRAP_NMI in def_idts
while at it. Tested on both x86_64 and x86_32.

The ORC unwinder got confused by some kprobes changes, which isn't
surprising since the runtime code no longer matches vmlinux and the
stack was modified for kretprobes.

Until we have a way for generated code to register changes with the
unwinder, these types of warnings are inevitable.  So just disable KASAN
checks for stack accesses in the ORC unwinder.

<title>x86/smpboot: Make optimization of delay calibration work correctly</title>

If the TSC has constant frequency then the delay calibration can be skipped
when it has been calibrated for a package already. This is checked in
calibrate_delay_is_known(), but that function is buggy in two aspects:

It returns 'false' if

  (!tsc_disabled &amp;&amp; !cpu_has(&amp;cpu_data(cpu), X86_FEATURE_CONSTANT_TSC)

which is obviously the reverse of the intended check and the check for the
sibling mask cannot work either because the topology links have not been
set up yet.

Correct the condition and move the call to set_cpu_sibling_map() before
invoking calibrate_delay() so the sibling check works correctly.

There have been some cases where external tooling (e.g., kpatch-build)
creates a corrupt relocation which targets the wrong address.  This is a
silent failure which can corrupt memory in unexpected places.

On x86, the bytes of data being overwritten by relocations are always
initialized to zero beforehand.  Use that knowledge to add sanity checks
to detect such cases before they corrupt memory.
