Mike Galbraith reported a situation where a WARN_ON_ONCE() call in DRM code turned into an oops. As it turns out, WARN_ON_ONCE() seems to be completely broken when called from a module. The bug was introduced with the following commit: 19d43626 ("debug: Add _ONCE() logic to report_bug()") That commit changed WARN_ON_ONCE() to move its 'once' logic into the bug trap handler. It requires a writable bug table so that the BUGFLAG_DONE bit can be written to the flags to indicate the first warning has occurred. The bug table was made writable for vmlinux, which relies on vmlinux.lds.S and vmlinux.lds.h for laying out the sections. However, it wasn't made writable for modules, which rely on the ELF section header flags.

With some configs, objtool reports the following warning: arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.o: warning: objtool: ftrace_modify_code_direct()+0x2d: sibling call from callable instruction with modified stack frame The instruction it's complaining about isn't actually a sibling call. It's just a normal jump to an address inside the function. Objtool thought it was a sibling call because the instruction's jump_dest wasn't initialized because the function was supposed to be ignored due to its use of sync_core(). Objtool ended up validating the function instead of ignoring it because it didn't properly recognize a sibling call to the function. So fix the sibling call logic. Also add a warning to catch ignored functions being validated so we'll get a more useful error message next time.

Pull SMP hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner: "This update is primarily a cleanup of the CPU hotplug locking code. The hotplug locking mechanism is an open coded RWSEM, which allows recursive locking. The main problem with that is the recursive nature as it evades the full lockdep coverage and hides potential deadlocks. The rework replaces the open coded RWSEM with a percpu RWSEM and establishes full lockdep coverage that way. The bulk of the changes fix up recursive locking issues and address the now fully reported potential deadlocks all over the place. Some of these deadlocks have been observed in the RT tree, but on mainline the probability was low enough to hide them away." * 'smp-hotplug-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (37 commits) cpu/hotplug: Constify attribute_group structures powerpc: Only obtain cpu_hotplug_lock if called by rtasd ARM/hw_breakpoint: Fix possible recursive locking for arch_hw_breakpoint_init cpu/hotplug: Remove unused check_for_tasks() function perf/core: Don't release cred_guard_mutex if not taken cpuhotplug: Link lock stacks for hotplug callbacks acpi/processor: Prevent cpu hotplug deadlock sched: Provide is_percpu_thread() helper cpu/hotplug: Convert hotplug locking to percpu rwsem s390: Prevent hotplug rwsem recursion arm: Prevent hotplug rwsem recursion arm64: Prevent cpu hotplug rwsem recursion kprobes: Cure hotplug lock ordering issues jump_label: Reorder hotplug lock and jump_label_lock perf/tracing/cpuhotplug: Fix locking order ACPI/processor: Use cpu_hotplug_disable() instead of get_online_cpus() PCI: Replace the racy recursion prevention PCI: Use cpu_hotplug_disable() instead of get_online_cpus() perf/x86/intel: Drop get_online_cpus() in intel_snb_check_microcode() x86/perf: Drop EXPORT of perf_check_microcode ...

Pull x86 timers updates from Thomas Gleixner: "This update contains: - The solution for the TSC deadline timer borkage, which is caused by a hardware problem in the TSC_ADJUST/TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER logic. The problem is documented now and fixed with a microcode update, so we can remove the workaround and just check for the microcode version. If the microcode is not up to date, then the TSC deadline timer is disabled. If the borkage is fixed by the proper microcode version, then the deadline timer can be used. In both cases the restrictions to the range of the TSC_ADJUST value, which were added as workarounds, are removed. - A few simple fixes and updates to the timer related x86 code" * 'x86-timers-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/tsc: Call check_system_tsc_reliable() before unsynchronized_tsc() x86/hpet: Do not use smp_processor_id() in preemptible code x86/time: Make setup_default_timer_irq() static x86/tsc: Remove the TSC_ADJUST clamp x86/apic: Add TSC_DEADLINE quirk due to errata x86/apic: Change the lapic name in deadline mode

Pull x86 PCI updates from Thomas Gleixner: "This update provides the seperation of x86 PCI accessors from the global PCI lock in the generic PCI config space accessors. The reasons for this are: - x86 has it's own PCI config lock for various reasons, so the accessors have to lock two locks nested. - The ECAM (mmconfig) access to the extended configuration space does not require locking. The existing generic locking causes a massive lock contention when accessing the extended config space of the Uncore facility for performance monitoring. The commit which switched the access to the primary config space over to ECAM mode has been removed from the branch, so the primary config space is still accessed with type1 accessors properly serialized by the x86 internal locking. Bjorn agreed on merging this through the x86 tree" * 'x86-platform-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/PCI: Select CONFIG_PCI_LOCKLESS_CONFIG PCI: Provide Kconfig option for lockless config space accessors x86/PCI/ce4100: Properly lock accessor functions x86/PCI: Abort if legacy init fails x86/PCI: Remove duplicate defines

Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner: "The irq department delivers: - Expand the generic infrastructure handling the irq migration on CPU hotplug and convert X86 over to it. (Thomas Gleixner) Aside of consolidating code this is a preparatory change for: - Finalizing the affinity management for multi-queue devices. The main change here is to shut down interrupts which are affine to a outgoing CPU and reenabling them when the CPU comes online again. That avoids moving interrupts pointlessly around and breaking and reestablishing affinities for no value.

Pull core block/IO updates from Jens Axboe: "This is the main pull request for the block layer for 4.13. Not a huge round in terms of features, but there's a lot of churn related to some core cleanups. Note this depends on the UUID tree pull request, that Christoph already sent out. This pull request contains: - A series from Christoph, unifying the error/stats codes in the block layer. We now use blk_status_t everywhere, instead of using different schemes for different places. - Also from Christoph, some cleanups around request allocation and IO scheduler interactions in blk-mq. - And yet another series from Christoph, cleaning up how we handle and do bounce buffering in the block layer. - A blk-mq debugfs series from Bart, further improving on the support we have for exporting internal information to aid debugging IO hangs or stalls. - Also from Bart, a series that cleans up the request initialization differences across types of devices. - A series from Goldwyn Rodrigues, allowing the block layer to return failure if we will block and the user asked for non-blocking. - Patch from Hannes for supporting setting loop devices block size to that of the underlying device. - Two series of patches from Javier, fixing various issues with lightnvm, particular around pblk. - A series from me, adding support for write hints. This comes with NVMe support as well, so applications can help guide data placement on flash to improve performance, latencies, and write amplification. - A series from Ming, improving and hardening blk-mq support for stopping/starting and quiescing hardware queues. - Two pull requests for NVMe updates. Nothing major on the feature side, but lots of cleanups and bug fixes. From the usual crew. - A series from Neil Brown, greatly improving the bio rescue set support.

When a process runs out of stack the parisc kernel wrongly faults with SIGBUS instead of the expected SIGSEGV signal. This example shows how the kernel faults: do_page_fault() command='a.out' type=15 address=0xfaac2000 in libc-2.24.so[f8308000+16c000] trap #15: Data TLB miss fault, vm_start = 0xfa2c2000, vm_end = 0xfaac2000 The vma->vm_end value is the first address which does not belong to the vma, so adjust the check to include vma->vm_end to the range for which to send the SIGSEGV signal. This patch unbreaks building the debian libsigsegv package. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
