3c93ca00ee x86: Add missing might_fault() checks to copy_{to,from}_user()
On x86-64, copy_[to|from]_user() rely on assembly routines that
never call might_fault(), making us missing various lockdep
checks.

This doesn't apply to __copy_from,to_user() that explicitly
handle these calls, neither is it a problem in x86-32 where
copy_to,from_user() rely on the "__" prefixed versions that
also call might_fault().

1472248583 x86-64: __copy_from_user_inatomic() adjustments
This v2.6.26 commit:

    ad2fc2c: x86: fix copy_user on x86

rendered __copy_from_user_inatomic() identical to
copy_user_generic(), yet didn't make the former just call the
latter from an inline function.

Furthermore, this v2.6.19 commit:

    b885808: [PATCH] Add proper sparse __user casts to __copy_to_user_inatomic

converted the return type of __copy_to_user_inatomic() from
unsigned long to int, but didn't do the same to
__copy_from_user_inatomic().

d1baf5a5a6 x86: Add AMD prefetch and 3DNow! opcodes to opcode map
Add AMD prefetch and 3DNow! opcode including FEMMS. Since 3DNow!
uses the last immediate byte as an opcode extension byte, x86
insn just treats the extenstion byte as an immediate byte
instead of a part of opcode (insn_get_opcode() decodes first
"0x0f 0x0f" bytes.)

Users who are interested in analyzing 3DNow! opcode still can
decode it by analyzing the immediate byte.

4a31276930 x86: Turn the copy_from_user check into an (optional) compile time warning
A previous patch added the buffer size check to copy_from_user().

One of the things learned from analyzing the result of the previous
patch is that in general, gcc is really good at proving that the
code contains sufficient security checks to not need to do a
runtime check. But that for those cases where gcc could not prove
this, there was a relatively high percentage of real security
issues.

This patch turns the case of "gcc cannot prove" into a compile time
warning, as long as a sufficiently new gcc is in use that supports
this. The objective is that these warnings will trigger developers
checking new cases out before a security hole enters a linux kernel
release.

79e1dd05d1 x86: Provide an alternative() based cmpxchg64()
cmpxchg64() today generates, to quote Linus, "barf bag" code.

cmpxchg64() is about to get used in the scheduler to fix a bug there,
but it's a prerequisite that cmpxchg64() first be made non-sucking.

This patch turns cmpxchg64() into an efficient implementation that
uses the alternative() mechanism to just use the raw instruction on
all modern systems.

Note: the fallback is NOT smp safe, just like the current fallback
is not SMP safe. (Interested parties with i486 based SMP systems
are welcome to submit fix patches for that.)

9f0cf4adb6 x86: Use __builtin_object_size() to validate the buffer size for copy_from_user()
gcc (4.x) supports the __builtin_object_size() builtin, which
reports the size of an object that a pointer point to, when known
at compile time. If the buffer size is not known at compile time, a
constant -1 is returned.

This patch uses this feature to add a sanity check to
copy_from_user(); if the target buffer is known to be smaller than
the copy size, the copy is aborted and a WARNing is emitted in
memory debug mode.

These extra checks compile away when the object size is not known,
or if both the buffer size and the copy length are constants.

Add CFI annotations for native_{rd,wr}msr_safe_regs().
Simplify the 64-bit implementation: we don't allow the upper half
registers to be set, and so we can use them to carry state across the
operation.

132ec92f3f x86, msr: Add rd/wrmsr interfaces with preset registers
native_{rdmsr,wrmsr}_safe_regs are two new interfaces which allow
presetting of a subset of eight x86 GPRs before executing the rd/wrmsr
instructions. This is needed at least on AMD K8 for accessing an erratum
workaround MSR.

Originally based on an idea by H. Peter Anvin.

eb13296cfa x86: Instruction decoder API
Add x86 instruction decoder to arch-specific libraries. This decoder
can decode x86 instructions used in kernel into prefix, opcode, modrm,
sib, displacement and immediates. This can also show the length of
instructions.

This version introduces instruction attributes for decoding
instructions.
The instruction attribute tables are generated from the opcode map file
(x86-opcode-map.txt) by the generator script(gen-insn-attr-x86.awk).

Currently, the opcode maps are based on opcode maps in Intel(R) 64 and
IA-32 Architectures Software Developers Manual Vol.2: Appendix.A,
and consist of below two types of opcode tables.

1-byte/2-bytes/3-bytes opcodes, which has 256 elements, are
written as below;

 Table: table-name
 Referrer: escaped-name
 opcode: mnemonic|GrpXXX [operand1[,operand2...]] [(extra1)[,(extra2)...] [| 2nd-mnemonic ...]
  (or)
 opcode: escape # escaped-name
 EndTable

Group opcodes, which has 8 elements, are written as below;

 GrpTable: GrpXXX
 reg:  mnemonic [operand1[,operand2...]] [(extra1)[,(extra2)...] [| 2nd-mnemonic ...]
 EndTable

These opcode maps include a few SSE and FP opcodes (for setup), because
those opcodes are used in the kernel.

Linus noted (based on Eric Dumazet's numbers) that we would
probably be better off not trying an atomic_read() in
atomic64_add_return() but intead intentionally let the first
cmpxchg8b fail - to get a cache-friendly 'give me ownership
of this cacheline' transaction. That can then be followed
by the real cmpxchg8b which sets the value local to the CPU.

aacf682fd8 x86: atomic64: Improve atomic64_read()
Linus noticed that the 32-bit version of atomic64_read() was
being overly complex with re-reading the value and doing a
retry loop over that.

Instead we can just rely on cmpxchg8b returning either the new
value or returning the current value.

We can use any 'old' value, which will be faster as it can be
loaded via immediates. Using some value that is not equal to
the real value in memory the instruction gets faster.

This also has the advantage that the CPU could avoid dirtying
the cacheline.

b7882b7c65 x86: atomic64: Move the 32-bit atomic64_t implementation to a .c file
Linus noted that the atomic64_t primitives are all inlines
currently which is crazy because these functions have a large
register footprint anyway.

Move them to a separate file: arch/x86/lib/atomic64_32.c

Also, while at it, rename all uses of 'unsigned long long' to
the much shorter u64.

This makes the appearance of the prototypes a lot nicer - and
it also uncovered a few bugs where (yet unused) API variants
had 'long' as their return type instead of u64.

[ More intrusive changes are not yet done in this patch. ]

9063c61fd5 x86, 64-bit: Clean up user address masking
The discussion about using "access_ok()" in get_user_pages_fast() (see
commit 7f81890687: "x86: don't use
'access_ok()' as a range check in get_user_pages_fast()" for details and
end result), made us notice that x86-64 was really being very sloppy
about virtual address checking.

So be way more careful and straightforward about masking x86-64 virtual
addresses:

 - All the VIRTUAL_MASK* variants now cover half of the address
   space, it's not like we can use the full mask on a signed
   integer, and the larger mask just invites mistakes when
   applying it to either half of the 48-bit address space.

 - /proc/kcore's kc_offset_to_vaddr() becomes a lot more
   obvious when it transforms a file offset into a
   (kernel-half) virtual address.

 - Unify/simplify the 32-bit and 64-bit USER_DS definition to
   be based on TASK_SIZE_MAX.

This cleanup and more careful/obvious user virtual address checking also
uncovered a buglet in the x86-64 implementation of strnlen_user(): it
would do an "access_ok()" check on the whole potential area, even if the
string itself was much shorter, and thus return an error even for valid
strings. Our sloppy checking had hidden this.

So this fixes 'strnlen_user()' to do this properly, the same way we
already handled user strings in 'strncpy_from_user()'.  Namely by just
checking the first byte, and then relying on fault handling for the
rest.  That always works, since we impose a guard page that cannot be
mapped at the end of the user space address space (and even if we
didn't, we'd have the address space hole).

b034c19f9f x86: MSR: add methods for writing of an MSR on several CPUs
Provide for concurrent MSR writes on all the CPUs in the cpumask. Also,
add a temporary workaround for smp_call_function_many which skips the
CPU we're executing on.

Bart: zero out rv struct which is allocated on stack.
