The stack layout and the functionality is identical. Use the 64bit
version for all of x86.

Dmitry Vyukov reported the following using trinity and the memory
error detector AddressSanitizer
(https://code.google.com/p/address-sanitizer/wiki/AddressSanitizerForKernel).

[ 124.575597] ERROR: AddressSanitizer: heap-buffer-overflow on
address ffff88002e280000
[ 124.576801] ffff88002e280000 is located 131938492886538 bytes to
the left of 28857600-byte region [ffffffff81282e0a, ffffffff82e0830a)
[ 124.578633] Accessed by thread T10915:

./arch/x86/kernel/process_64.c:444

The address checks in the 64bit implementation of get_wchan() are
wrong in several ways:

 - The lower bound of the stack is not the start of the stack
   page. It's the start of the stack page plus sizeof (struct
   thread_info)

 - The upper bound must be:

       top_of_stack - TOP_OF_KERNEL_STACK_PADDING - 2 * sizeof(unsigned long).

   The 2 * sizeof(unsigned long) is required because the stack pointer
   points at the frame pointer. The layout on the stack is: ... IP FP
   ... IP FP. So we need to make sure that both IP and FP are in the
   bounds.

Fix the bound checks and get rid of the mix of numeric constants, u64
and unsigned long. Making all unsigned long allows us to use the same
function for 32bit as well.

Use READ_ONCE() when accessing the stack. This does not prevent a
concurrent wakeup of the task and the stack changing, but at least it
avoids TOCTOU.

Also check task state at the end of the loop. Again that does not
prevent concurrent changes, but it avoids walking for nothing.

Add proper comments while at it.

modify_ldt() has questionable locking and does not synchronize
threads.  Improve it: redesign the locking and synchronize all
threads' LDTs using an IPI on all modifications.

This will dramatically slow down modify_ldt in multithreaded
programs, but there shouldn't be any multithreaded programs that
care about modify_ldt's performance in the first place.

This fixes some fallout from the CVE-2015-5157 fixes.

For 32-bit userspace on a 64-bit kernel, this requires modifying
stub32_clone to actually swap the appropriate arguments to match
CONFIG_CLONE_BACKWARDS, rather than just leaving the C argument for tls
broken.

Patch co-authored by Josh Triplett and Thiago Macieira.

Pull x86 core updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "There were so many changes in the x86/asm, x86/apic and x86/mm topics
  in this cycle that the topical separation of -tip broke down somewhat -
  so the result is a more traditional architecture pull request,
  collected into the 'x86/core' topic.

  The topics were still maintained separately as far as possible, so
  bisectability and conceptual separation should still be pretty good -
  but there were a handful of merge points to avoid excessive
  dependencies (and conflicts) that would have been poorly tested in the
  end.

  The next cycle will hopefully be much more quiet (or at least will
  have fewer dependencies).

  The main changes in this cycle were:

   * x86/apic changes, with related IRQ core changes: (Jiang Liu, Thomas
     Gleixner)

     - This is the second and most intrusive part of changes to the x86
       interrupt handling - full conversion to hierarchical interrupt
       domains:

          [IOAPIC domain]   -----
                                 |
          [MSI domain]      --------[Remapping domain] ----- [ Vector domain ]
                                 |   (optional)          |
          [HPET MSI domain] -----                        |
                                                         |
          [DMAR domain]     -----------------------------
                                                         |
          [Legacy domain]   -----------------------------

       This now reflects the actual hardware and allowed us to distangle
       the domain specific code from the underlying parent domain, which
       can be optional in the case of interrupt remapping.  It's a clear
       separation of functionality and removes quite some duct tape
       constructs which plugged the remap code between ioapic/msi/hpet
       and the vector management.

     - Intel IOMMU IRQ remapping enhancements, to allow direct interrupt
       injection into guests (Feng Wu)

   * x86/asm changes:

     - Tons of cleanups and small speedups, micro-optimizations.  This
       is in preparation to move a good chunk of the low level entry
       code from assembly to C code (Denys Vlasenko, Andy Lutomirski,
       Brian Gerst)

     - Moved all system entry related code to a new home under
       arch/x86/entry/ (Ingo Molnar)

     - Removal of the fragile and ugly CFI dwarf debuginfo annotations.
       Conversion to C will reintroduce many of them - but meanwhile
       they are only getting in the way, and the upstream kernel does
       not rely on them (Ingo Molnar)

     - NOP handling refinements. (Borislav Petkov)

   * x86/mm changes:

     - Big PAT and MTRR rework: making the code more robust and
       preparing to phase out exposing direct MTRR interfaces to drivers -
       in favor of using PAT driven interfaces (Toshi Kani, Luis R
       Rodriguez, Borislav Petkov)

     - New ioremap_wt()/set_memory_wt() interfaces to support
       Write-Through cached memory mappings.  This is especially
       important for good performance on NVDIMM hardware (Toshi Kani)

   * x86/ras changes:

     - Add support for deferred errors on AMD (Aravind Gopalakrishnan)

       This is an important RAS feature which adds hardware support for
       poisoned data.  That means roughly that the hardware marks data
       which it has detected as corrupted but wasn't able to correct, as
       poisoned data and raises an APIC interrupt to signal that in the
       form of a deferred error.  It is the OS's responsibility then to
       take proper recovery action and thus prolonge system lifetime as
       far as possible.

     - Add support for Intel "Local MCE"s: upcoming CPUs will support
       CPU-local MCE interrupts, as opposed to the traditional system-
       wide broadcasted MCE interrupts (Ashok Raj)

     - Misc cleanups (Borislav Petkov)

   * x86/platform changes:

     - Intel Atom SoC updates

  ... and lots of other cleanups, fixlets and other changes - see the
  shortlog and the Git log for details"

* 'x86-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (222 commits)

  x86/hpet: Check for irq==0 when allocating hpet MSI interrupts

<title>x86/fpu: Rename fpu-internal.h to fpu/internal.h</title>

This unifies all the FPU related header files under a unified, hiearchical
naming scheme:

 - asm/fpu/types.h:      FPU related data types, needed for 'struct task_struct',
                         widely included in almost all kernel code, and hence kept
                         as small as possible.

 - asm/fpu/api.h:        FPU related 'public' methods exported to other subsystems.

 - asm/fpu/internal.h:   FPU subsystem internal methods

 - asm/fpu/xsave.h:      XSAVE support internal methods

(Also standardize the header guard in asm/fpu/internal.h.)
