Returning a 'bool' was very unpopular. Doubly so because the
code was just wrong (returning zero for true, one for false;
great for shell programming, not so good for C).

Change return type to "int". Keep zero as the success indicator
because it matches other similar code and people may be more
comfortable writing:

	if (memcpy_mcsafe(to, from, count)) {
		printk("Sad panda, copy failed\n");
		...
	}

Make the failure return value -EFAULT for now.

Make use of the EXTABLE_FAULT exception table entries to write
a kernel copy routine that doesn't crash the system if it
encounters a machine check. Prime use case for this is to copy
from large arrays of non-volatile memory used as storage.

We have to use an unrolled copy loop for now because current
hardware implementations treat a machine check in "rep mov"
as fatal. When that is fixed we can simplify.

Return type is a "bool". True means that we copied OK, false means
that it didn't.

<title>x86, kasan: Fix build failure on KASAN=y &amp;&amp; KMEMCHECK=y kernels</title>

<content type='text'>
Declaration of memcpy() is hidden under #ifndef CONFIG_KMEMCHECK.
In asm/efi.h under #ifdef CONFIG_KASAN we #undef memcpy(), due to
which the following happens:

  In file included from arch/x86/kernel/setup.c:96:0:
  ./arch/x86/include/asm/desc.h: In function ‘native_write_idt_entry’:
  ./arch/x86/include/asm/desc.h:122:2: error: implicit declaration of function ‘memcpy’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]   memcpy(&amp;idt[entry], gate, sizeof(*gate));
    ^
    cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
    make[2]: *** [arch/x86/kernel/setup.o] Error 1

We will get rid of that #undef in asm/efi.h eventually.
But in the meanwhile move memcpy() declaration out of #ifdefs
to fix the build.

<title>x86_64: kasan: add interceptors for memset/memmove/memcpy functions</title>

<id>393f203f5fd54421fddb1e2a263f64d3876eeadb</id>
<content type='text'>
Recently instrumentation of builtin functions calls was removed from GCC
5.0.  To check the memory accessed by such functions, userspace asan
always uses interceptors for them.

So now we should do this as well.  This patch declares
memset/memmove/memcpy as weak symbols.  In mm/kasan/kasan.c we have our
own implementation of those functions which checks memory before accessing
it.

Default memset/memmove/memcpy now now always have aliases with '__'
prefix.  For files that built without kasan instrumentation (e.g.
mm/slub.c) original mem* replaced (via #define) with prefixed variants,
cause we don't want to check memory accesses there.

<title>x86: add hooks for kmemcheck</title>

The hooks that we modify are:
- Page fault handler (to handle kmemcheck faults)
- Debug exception handler (to hide pages after single-stepping
  the instruction that caused the page fault)

Also redefine memset() to use the optimized version if kmemcheck is
enabled.

(Thanks to Pekka Enberg for minimizing the impact on the page fault
handler.)

As kmemcheck doesn't handle MMX/SSE instructions (yet), we also disable
the optimized xor code, and rely instead on the generic C implementation
in order to avoid false-positive warnings.
