UBSAN uses compile-time instrumentation to catch undefined behavior
(UB).  Compiler inserts code that perform certain kinds of checks before
operations that could cause UB.  If check fails (i.e.  UB detected)
__ubsan_handle_* function called to print error message.

So the most of the work is done by compiler.  This patch just implements
ubsan handlers printing errors.

GCC has this capability since 4.9.x [1] (see -fsanitize=undefined
option and its suboptions).
However GCC 5.x has more checkers implemented [2].
Article [3] has a bit more details about UBSAN in the GCC.

[2] - https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Debugging-Options.html
[3] - http://developerblog.redhat.com/2014/10/16/gcc-undefined-behavior-sanitizer-ubsan/

Issues which UBSAN has found thus far are:

Found bugs:

 * out-of-bounds access - 97840cb67ff5 ("netfilter: nfnetlink: fix
   insufficient validation in nfnetlink_bind")

undefined shifts:

 * d48458d4a768 ("jbd2: use a better hash function for the revoke
   table")

 * 10632008b9e1 ("clockevents: Prevent shift out of bounds")

Recent PAT patchset has caused issue on 32-bit PAE machines:

  page:eea45000 count:0 mapcount:-128 mapping:  (null) index:0x0 flags: 0x40000000()
  page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_mapcount(page) &lt; 0)
  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  kernel BUG at /home/build/linux-boris/mm/huge_memory.c:1485!
  invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP
  [...]
  Call Trace:
   unmap_single_vma
   ? __wake_up
   unmap_vmas
   unmap_region
   do_munmap
   vm_munmap
   SyS_munmap

  Code: ...
  EIP: [&lt;c11bde80&gt;] zap_huge_pmd+0x240/0x260 SS:ESP 0068:f6459d98

The problem is in pmd_pfn_mask() and pmd_flags_mask(). These
helpers use PMD_PAGE_MASK to calculate resulting mask.
PMD_PAGE_MASK is 'unsigned long', not 'unsigned long long' as
phys_addr_t is on 32-bit PAE (ARCH_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT). As a
result, the upper bits of resulting mask get truncated.

pud_pfn_mask() and pud_flags_mask() aren't problematic since we
don't have PUD page table level on 32-bit systems, but it's
reasonable to keep them consistent with PMD counterpart.

Introduce PHYSICAL_PMD_PAGE_MASK and PHYSICAL_PUD_PAGE_MASK in
addition to existing PHYSICAL_PAGE_MASK and reworks helpers to
use them.

Pull v4.4 EFI updates from Matt Fleming:

  - Make the EFI System Resource Table (ESRT) driver explicitly
    non-modular by ripping out the module_* code since Kconfig doesn't
    allow it to be built as a module anyway. (Paul Gortmaker)

  - Make the x86 efi=debug kernel parameter, which enables EFI debug
    code and output, generic and usable by arm64. (Leif Lindholm)

  - Add support to the x86 EFI boot stub for 64-bit Graphics Output
    Protocol frame buffer addresses. (Matt Fleming)

  - Detect when the UEFI v2.5 EFI_PROPERTIES_TABLE feature is enabled
    in the firmware and set an efi.flags bit so the kernel knows when
    it can apply more strict runtime mapping attributes - Ard Biesheuvel

  - Auto-load the efi-pstore module on EFI systems, just like we
    currently do for the efivars module. (Ben Hutchings)

  - Add "efi_fake_mem" kernel parameter which allows the system's EFI
    memory map to be updated with additional attributes for specific
    memory ranges. This is useful for testing the kernel code that handles
    the EFI_MEMORY_MORE_RELIABLE memmap bit even if your firmware
    doesn't include support. (Taku Izumi)

Note: there is a semantic conflict between the following two commits:

  8a53554e12e9 ("x86/efi: Fix multiple GOP device support")
  ae2ee627dc87 ("efifb: Add support for 64-bit frame buffer addresses")

I fixed up the interaction in the merge commit, changing the type of
current_fb_base from u32 to u64.

When multiple GOP devices exists, but none of them implements
ConOut, the code should just choose the first GOP (according to
the comments). But currently 'fb_base' will refer to the last GOP,
while other parameters to the first GOP, which will likely
result in a garbled display.

I can reliably reproduce this bug using my ASRock Z87M Extreme4
motherboard with CSM and integrated GPU disabled, and two PCIe
video cards (NVidia GT640 and GTX980), booting from efi-stub
(booting from grub works fine).  On the primary display the
ASRock logo remains and on the secondary screen it is garbled
up completely.

<title>efifb: Add support for 64-bit frame buffer addresses</title>

<id>ae2ee627dc87a70910de91b791b3cd0e9c6facdd</id>
<content type='text'>
The EFI Graphics Output Protocol uses 64-bit frame buffer addresses
but these get truncated to 32-bit by the EFI boot stub when storing
the address in the 'lfb_base' field of 'struct screen_info'.

Add a 'ext_lfb_base' field for the upper 32-bits of the frame buffer
address and set VIDEO_TYPE_CAPABILITY_64BIT_BASE when the field is
useable.

It turns out that the reason no one has required this support so far
is that there's actually code in tianocore to "downgrade" PCI
resources that have option ROMs and 64-bit BARS from 64-bit to 32-bit
to cope with legacy option ROMs that can't handle 64-bit addresses.
The upshot is that basically all GOP devices in the wild use a 32-bit
frame buffer address.

Still, it is possible to build firmware that uses a full 64-bit GOP
frame buffer address. Chad did, which led to him reporting this issue.

Add support in anticipation of GOP devices using 64-bit addresses more
widely, and so that efifb works out of the box when that happens.

<title>lib/decompressors: use real out buf size for gunzip with kernel</title>

When loading x86 64bit kernel above 4GiB with patched grub2, got kernel
gunzip error.

| early console in decompress_kernel
| decompress_kernel:

the new buffer is at 0x46fe000000ULL, decompressor_gzip is using
0xffffffb901ffffff as out_len.  gunzip in lib/zlib_inflate/inflate.c cap
that len to 0x01ffffff and decompress fails later.

We could hit this problem with crashkernel booting that uses kexec loading
kernel above 4GiB.

We have decompress_* support:
    1. inbuf[]/outbuf[] for kernel preboot.
    2. inbuf[]/flush() for initramfs
    3. fill()/flush() for initrd.
This bug only affect kernel preboot path that use outbuf[].

Add __decompress and take real out_buf_len for gunzip instead of guessing
wrong buf size.

Fixes: 1431574a1c4 (lib/decompressors: fix "no limit" output buffer length)

<title>kexec: split kexec_load syscall from kexec core code</title>

There are two kexec load syscalls, kexec_load another and kexec_file_load.
 kexec_file_load has been splited as kernel/kexec_file.c.  In this patch I
split kexec_load syscall code to kernel/kexec.c.

And add a new kconfig option KEXEC_CORE, so we can disable kexec_load and
use kexec_file_load only, or vice verse.

The original requirement is from Ted Ts'o, he want kexec kernel signature
being checked with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG enabled.  But kexec-tools use
kexec_load syscall can bypass the checking.

Vivek Goyal proposed to create a common kconfig option so user can compile
in only one syscall for loading kexec kernel.  KEXEC/KEXEC_FILE selects
KEXEC_CORE so that old config files still work.

Because there's general code need CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, so I updated all the
architecture Kconfig with a new option KEXEC_CORE, and let KEXEC selects
KEXEC_CORE in arch Kconfig.  Also updated general kernel code with to
kexec_load syscall.
