Switching between stacks is only valid if we are tracing ourselves while on the
irq_stack, so it is only valid when in current and non-preemptible context,
otherwise is is just zeroed off.

<title>arm64: traps: address fallout from printk -&gt; pr_* conversion</title>

Commit ac7b406c1a9d ("arm64: Use pr_* instead of printk") was a fairly
mindless s/printk/pr_*/ change driven by a complaint from checkpatch.

As is usual with such changes, this has led to some odd behaviour on
arm64:

  * syslog now picks up the "pr_emerg" line from dump_backtrace, but not
    the actual trace, which leads to a bunch of "kernel:Call trace:"
    lines in the log

  * __{pte,pmd,pgd}_error print at KERN_CRIT, as opposed to KERN_ERR
    which is used by other architectures.

This patch restores the original printk behaviour for dump_backtrace
and downgrade the pgtable error macros to KERN_ERR.

Function graph tracer modifies a return address (LR) in a stack frame
to hook a function return. This will result in many useless entries
(return_to_handler) showing up in
 a) a stack tracer's output
 b) perf call graph (with perf record -g)
 c) dump_backtrace (at panic et al.)

For example, in case of a),
  $ echo function_graph &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
  $ echo 1 &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/stack_trace_enabled
  $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/stack_trace

This patch replaces such entries with real addresses preserved in

Function graph tracer modifies a return address (LR) in a stack frame
to hook a function's return. This will result in many useless entries
(return_to_handler) showing up in a call stack list.
We will fix this problem in a later patch ("arm64: ftrace: fix a stack
tracer's output under function graph tracer"). But since real return
addresses are saved in ret_stack[] array in struct task_struct,
unwind functions need to be notified of, in addition to a stack pointer
address, which task is being traced in order to find out real return
addresses.

This patch extends unwind functions' interfaces by adding an extra
argument of a pointer to task_struct.

This patch allows unwind_frame() to traverse from interrupt stack to task
stack correctly. It requires data from a dummy stack frame, created
during irq_stack_entry(), added by a later patch.

A similar approach is taken to modify dump_backtrace(), which expects to
find struct pt_regs underneath any call to functions marked __exception.
When on an irq_stack, the struct pt_regs is stored on the old task stack,
the location of which is stored in the dummy stack frame.

<title>arm64: Synchronise dump_backtrace() with perf callchain</title>

<id>9f93f3e9461a30f425fdba15784db67ce878ce00</id>
<content type='text'>
Unlike perf callchain relying on walk_stackframe(), dump_backtrace()
has its own backtrace logic. A major difference between them is the
moment a symbol is recorded. Perf writes down a symbol *before*
calling unwind_frame(), but dump_backtrace() prints it out *after*
unwind_frame(). As a result, the last valid symbol cannot be hooked
in case of dump_backtrace(). This patch addresses the issue as
synchronising dump_backtrace() with perf callchain.

A simple test and its results are as follows:

- crash trigger

 $ sudo echo c &gt; /proc/sysrq-trigger

- current status

 Call trace:
 [&lt;fffffe00003dc738&gt;] sysrq_handle_crash+0x24/0x30
 [&lt;fffffe00003dd2ac&gt;] __handle_sysrq+0x128/0x19c

 [&lt;fffffe00001f3730&gt;] SyS_write+0x50/0xb0

- with this change

 Call trace:
 [&lt;fffffe00003dc738&gt;] sysrq_handle_crash+0x24/0x30
 [&lt;fffffe00003dd2ac&gt;] __handle_sysrq+0x128/0x19c

 [&lt;fffffe00000939ec&gt;] el0_svc_naked+0x20/0x28

Note that this patch does not cover a case where MMU is disabled. The
last stack frame of swapper, for example, has PC in a form of physical
address. Unfortunately, a simple conversion using phys_to_virt() cannot
cover all scenarios since PC is retrieved from LR - 4, not LR. It is
a big tradeoff to change both head.S and unwind_frame() for only a few
of symbols in *.S. Thus, this hunk does not take care of the case.

<title>arm64/BUG: Show explicit backtrace for WARNs</title>

<content type='text'>
The generic slowpath WARN implementation prints a backtrace, but
the report_bug() based implementation does not, opting to print the
registers instead which is generally not as useful.

Ideally, report_bug() should be fixed to make the behaviour more
consistent, but in the meantime this patch generates a backtrace
directly from the arm64 backend instead so that this functionality
is not lost with the migration to report_bug().

As a side-effect, the backtrace will be outside the oops end
marker, but that's hard to avoid without modifying generic code.

This patch can go away if report_bug() grows the ability in the
future to generate a backtrace directly or call an arch hook at the
appropriate time.

The generic slowpath WARN implementation prints a backtrace, but
the report_bug() based implementation does not, opting to print the
registers instead which is generally not as useful.

Ideally, report_bug() should be fixed to make the behaviour more
consistent, but in the meantime this patch generates a backtrace
directly from the arm64 backend instead so that this functionality
is not lost with the migration to report_bug().

As a side-effect, the backtrace will be outside the oops end
marker, but that's hard to avoid without modifying generic code.

This patch can go away if report_bug() grows the ability in the
future to generate a backtrace directly or call an arch hook at the
appropriate time.

<title>arm64/BUG: Use BRK instruction for generic BUG traps</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently, the minimal default BUG() implementation from asm-
generic is used for arm64.

This patch uses the BRK software breakpoint instruction to generate
a trap instead, similarly to most other arches, with the generic
BUG code generating the dmesg boilerplate.

This allows bug metadata to be moved to a separate table and
reduces the amount of inline code at BUG and WARN sites.  This also
avoids clobbering any registers before they can be dumped.

To mitigate the size of the bug table further, this patch makes
use of the existing infrastructure for encoding addresses within
the bug table as 32-bit offsets instead of absolute pointers.
(Note that this limits the kernel size to 2GB.)

Traps are registered at arch_initcall time for aarch64, but BUG
has minimal real dependencies and it is desirable to be able to
generate bug splats as early as possible.  This patch redirects
all debug exceptions caused by BRK directly to bug_handler() until
the full debug exception support has been initialised.

<title>arm64: force CONFIG_SMP=y and remove redundant #ifdefs</title>

Nobody seems to be producing !SMP systems anymore, so this is just
becoming a source of kernel bugs, particularly if people want to use
coherent DMA with non-shared pages.

This patch forces CONFIG_SMP=y for arm64, removing a modest amount of
code in the process.

<title>arm64: modify the dump mem for 64 bit addresses</title>

On 64bit kernel, the dump_mem gives 32 bit addresses
on the stack dump. This gives unorganized information regarding
the 64bit values on the stack. Hence, modified to get a complete 64bit memory
dump.
