<title>kernel/Kconfig.kexec: drop select of KEXEC for CRASH_DUMP</title>

Ignat Korchagin complained that a potential config regression was
introduced by commit 89cde455915f ("kexec: consolidate kexec and crash
options into kernel/Kconfig.kexec").  Before the commit, CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP
has no dependency on CONFIG_KEXEC.  After the commit, CRASH_DUMP selects
KEXEC.  That enforces system to have CONFIG_KEXEC=y as long as
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=Y which people may not want.

In Ignat's case, he sets CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y, CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y and
CONFIG_KEXEC=n because kexec_load interface could have security issue if
kernel/initrd has no chance to be signed and verified.

CRASH_DUMP has select of KEXEC because Eric, author of above commit, met a
LKP report of build failure when posting patch of earlier version.  Please
see below link to get detail of the LKP report:

    https://lore.kernel.org/all/3e8eecd1-a277-2cfb-690e-5de2eb7b988e@oracle.com/T/#u

In fact, that LKP report is triggered because arm's &lt;asm/kexec.h&gt; is
wrapped in CONFIG_KEXEC ifdeffery scope.  That is wrong.  CONFIG_KEXEC
controls the enabling/disabling of kexec_load interface, but not kexec
feature.  Removing the wrongly added CONFIG_KEXEC ifdeffery scope in
&lt;asm/kexec.h&gt; of arm allows us to drop the select KEXEC for CRASH_DUMP. 
Meanwhile, change arch/arm/kernel/Makefile to let machine_kexec.o
relocate_kernel.o depend on KEXEC_CORE.

Pull probes fixes from Masami Hiramatsu:

 - Documentation update: Add a note about argument and return value
   fetching is the best effort because it depends on the type.

 - objpool: Fix to make internal global variables static in
   test_objpool.c.

 - kprobes: Unify kprobes_exceptions_nofify() prototypes. There are the
   same prototypes in asm/kprobes.h for some architectures, but some of
   them are missing the prototype and it causes a warning. So move the
   prototype into linux/kprobes.h.

 - tracing: Fix to check the tracepoint event and return event at
   parsing stage. The tracepoint event doesn't support %return but if
   $retval exists, it will be converted to %return silently. This finds
   that case and rejects it.

 - tracing: Fix the order of the descriptions about the parameters of
   __kprobe_event_gen_cmd_start() to be consistent with the argument
   list of the function.

Most architectures that support kprobes declare this function in their
own asm/kprobes.h header and provide an override, but some are missing
the prototype, which causes a warning for the __weak stub implementation:

kernel/kprobes.c:1865:12: error: no previous prototype for 'kprobe_exceptions_notify' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
 1865 | int __weak kprobe_exceptions_notify(struct notifier_block *self,

Move the prototype into linux/kprobes.h so it is visible to all
the definitions.

The driver used to truncate several 64-bit registers such as PMCEID[n]
registers used to describe whether architectural and microarchitectural
events in range 0x4000-0x401f exist. Due to discarding the bits, the
driver made the events invisible, even if they existed.

Moreover, PMCCFILTR and PMCR registers have additional bits in the upper
32 bits. This patch makes them available although they aren't currently
used. Finally, functions handling PMXEVCNTR and PMXEVTYPER registers are
removed as they not being used at all.

Separating the VGA console screen_info from the EFI one unfortunately
caused a build failure for footbridge that I had never caught
with randconfig builds:

arch/arm/kernel/setup.c:932:27: error: static declaration of 'vgacon_screen_info' follows non-static declaration

<title>vgacon: clean up global screen_info instances</title>

To prepare for completely separating the VGA console screen_info from
the one used in EFI/sysfb, rename the vgacon instances and make them
local as much as possible.

ia64 and arm both have confurations with vgacon and efi, but the contents
never overlaps because ia64 has no EFI framebuffer, and arm only has
vga console on legacy platforms without EFI. Renaming these is required
before the EFI screen_info can be moved into drivers/firmware.

The ia64 vga console is actually registered in two places from
setup_arch(), but one of them is wrong, so drop the one in pcdp.c and
fix the one in setup.c to use the correct conditional.

x86 has to keep them together, as the boot protocol is used to switch
between VGA text console and framebuffer through the screen_info data.

<title>ARM: 9326/1: make &lt;linux/uaccess.h&gt; self-contained for ARM</title>

When I compiled the following code for ARM, I encountered numerous
errors.

[Test Code]

    #include &lt;linux/compiler.h&gt;
    #include &lt;linux/uaccess.h&gt;

    int foo(int *x, int __user *ptr)
    {
            return get_user(*x, ptr);
    }

To fix the errors, make some asm headers self-contained:

 1. In arch/arm/include/asm/domain.h, include &lt;linux/thread_info.h&gt;
    for current_thread_info().

 2. In arch/arm/include/asm/traps.h, remove unneeded  __init, and
    include &lt;linux/linkage.h&gt; for asmlinkage.

 3. In arch/arm/include/asm/uaccess.h, include &lt;linux/kernel.h&gt; for
    might_fault().
