This reverts commit 852ffd0f4e23248b47531058e531066a988434b5.

There are use cases where an intermediate boot kernel (1) uses kexec
to boot the final production kernel (2). For this scenario we should
provide the original boot information to the production kernel (2).
Therefore clearing the boot information during kexec() should not
be done.

On s390, there are two different hardware PMUs for counting and
sampling.  Previously, both PMUs have shared the perf_hw_context
which is not correct and, recently, results in this warning:

Using the perf_sw_context is an option because the cpum_cf PMU does

<title>vdso: make arch_setup_additional_pages wait for mmap_sem for write killable</title>

most architectures are relying on mmap_sem for write in their
arch_setup_additional_pages.  If the waiting task gets killed by the oom
killer it would block oom_reaper from asynchronous address space reclaim
and reduce the chances of timely OOM resolving.  Wait for the lock in
the killable mode and return with EINTR if the task got killed while
waiting.

<title>s390/kexec: consolidate crash_map/unmap_reserved_pages() and arch_kexec_protect(unprotect)_crashkres()</title>

<content type='text'>
Commit 3f625002581b ("kexec: introduce a protection mechanism for the
crashkernel reserved memory") is a similar mechanism for protecting the
crash kernel reserved memory to previous crash_map/unmap_reserved_pages()
implementation, the new one is more generic in name and cleaner in code
(besides, some arch may not be allowed to unmap the pgtable).

Therefore, this patch consolidates them, and uses the new
arch_kexec_protect(unprotect)_crashkres() to replace former
crash_map/unmap_reserved_pages() which by now has been only used by
S390.

The consolidation work needs the crash memory to be mapped initially,
this is done in machine_kdump_pm_init() which is after
reserve_crashkernel().  Once kdump kernel is loaded, the new
arch_kexec_protect_crashkres() implemented for S390 will actually
unmap the pgtable like before.

We need to call exit_thread from copy_process in a fail path.  So make it
accept task_struct as a parameter.

[v2]
* s390: exit_thread_runtime_instr doesn't make sense to be called for
  non-current tasks.
* arm: fix the comment in vfp_thread_copy
* change 'me' to 'tsk' for task_struct
* now we can change only archs that actually have exit_thread

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

User visible changes:

- Honour the kernel.perf_event_max_stack knob more precisely by not counting
  PERF_CONTEXT_{KERNEL,USER} when deciding when to stop adding entries to
  the perf_sample-&gt;ip_callchain[] array (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

- Fix identation of 'stalled-backend-cycles' in 'perf stat' (Namhyung Kim)

- Update runtime using 'cpu-clock' event in 'perf stat' (Namhyung Kim)

- Use 'cpu-clock' for cpu targets in 'perf stat' (Namhyung Kim)

- Avoid fractional digits for integer scales in 'perf stat' (Andi Kleen)

- Store vdso buildid unconditionally, as it appears in callchains and
  we're not checking those when creating the build-id table, so we
  end up not being able to resolve VDSO symbols when doing analysis
  on a different machine than the one where recording was done, possibly
  of a different arch even (arm -&gt; x86_64) (He Kuang)

Infrastructure changes:

- Generalize max_stack sysctl handler, will be used for configuring
  multiple kernel knobs related to callchains (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

Cleanups:

- Introduce DSO__NAME_KALLSYMS and DSO__NAME_KCORE, to stop using
  open coded strings (Masami Hiramatsu)

Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky:
 "The s390 patches for the 4.7 merge window have the usual bug fixes and
  cleanups, and the following new features:

   - An interface for dasd driver to query if a volume is online to
     another operating system

     tracks

   - Following the example of x86 the struct fpu is now allocated with
     the task_struct

   - The 'report_error' interface for the PCI bus to send an
     adapter-error notification from user space to the service element
     of the machine"

Pull livepatching updates from Jiri Kosina:

 - remove of our own implementation of architecture-specific relocation
   code and leveraging existing code in the module loader to perform
   arch-dependent work, from Jessica Yu.

   The relevant patches have been acked by Rusty (for module.c) and
   Heiko (for s390).

 - live patching support for ppc64le, which is a joint work of Michael
   Ellerman and Torsten Duwe.  This is coming from topic branch that is
   share between livepatching.git and ppc tree.

 - addition of livepatching documentation from Petr Mladek

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/livepatching:
  livepatch: make object/func-walking helpers more robust
  livepatch: Add some basic livepatch documentation
  powerpc/livepatch: Add live patching support on ppc64le
  powerpc/livepatch: Add livepatch stack to struct thread_info
  powerpc/livepatch: Add livepatch header
  livepatch: Allow architectures to specify an alternate ftrace location
  ftrace: Make ftrace_location_range() global
  livepatch: robustify klp_register_patch() API error checking
  Documentation: livepatch: outline Elf format and requirements for patch modules
  livepatch: reuse module loader code to write relocations
  module: s390: keep mod_arch_specific for livepatch modules

<title>perf core: Pass max stack as a perf_callchain_entry context</title>

<id>cfbcf468454ab4b20f0b4b62da51920b99fdb19e</id>

This makes perf_callchain_{user,kernel}() receive the max stack
as context for the perf_callchain_entry, instead of accessing
the global sysctl_perf_event_max_stack.
