commit 693713cbdb3a4bda5a8a678c31f06560bbb14657 upstream.

User Mode Linux does not have access to the ip or sp fields of the pt_regs,
and accessing them causes UML to fail to build. Hide the int3_emulate_jmp()
and int3_emulate_call() instructions from UML, as it doesn't need them
anyway.

commit 4b33dadf37666c0860b88f9e52a16d07bf6d0b03 upstream.

In order to allow breakpoints to emulate call instructions, they need to push
the return address onto the stack. The x86_64 int3 handler adds a small gap
to allow the stack to grow some. Use this gap to add the return address to
be able to emulate a call instruction at the breakpoint location.

These helper functions are added:

  int3_emulate_jmp(): changes the location of the regs-&gt;ip to return there.

 (The next two are only for x86_64)
  int3_emulate_push(): to push the address onto the gap in the stack
  int3_emulate_call(): push the return address and change regs-&gt;ip

<title>x86/alternatives, jumplabel: Use text_poke_early() before mm_init()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6fffacb30349e0903602d664f7ab6fc87e85162e</id>
<content type='text'>
It supposed to be safe to modify static branches after jump_label_init().
But, because static key modifying code eventually calls text_poke() it can
end up accessing a struct page which has not been initialized yet.

Here is how to quickly reproduce the problem. Insert code like this
into init/main.c:

| +static DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE(__test);
| asmlinkage __visible void __init start_kernel(void)
| {
|        char *command_line;
|@@ -587,6 +609,10 @@ asmlinkage __visible void __init start_kernel(void)
|        vfs_caches_init_early();
|        sort_main_extable();
|        trap_init();
|+       {
|+       static_branch_enable(&amp;__test);
|+       WARN_ON(!static_branch_likely(&amp;__test));
|+       }
|        mm_init();

The following warnings show-up:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at arch/x86/kernel/alternative.c:701 text_poke+0x20d/0x230
RIP: 0010:text_poke+0x20d/0x230
Call Trace:
 ? text_poke_bp+0x50/0xda

 ? static_key_enable+0x11/0x20
 ? start_kernel+0x23e/0x4c8
 ? secondary_startup_64+0xa5/0xb0

---[ end trace abdc99c031b8a90a ]---

If the code above is moved after mm_init(), no warning is shown, as struct
pages are initialized during handover from memblock.

Use text_poke_early() in static branching until early boot IRQs are enabled
and from there switch to text_poke. Also, ensure text_poke() is never
invoked when unitialized memory access may happen by using adding a
!after_bootmem assertion.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd</id>
<content type='text'>
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

<title>x86/asm: Stop depending on ptrace.h in alternative.h</title>

alternative.h pulls in ptrace.h, which means that alternatives can't
be used in anything referenced from ptrace.h, which is a mess.

Break the dependency by pulling text patching helpers into their own
header.
