Making kallsyms_on_each_symbol generally available, so it can be
used outside CONFIG_LIVEPATCH option in following changes.

Rather than adding another ifdef option let's make the function
generally available (when CONFIG_KALLSYMS option is defined).

<title>asm-generic: Define CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_DESCRIPTORS</title>

Replace HAVE_DEREFERENCE_FUNCTION_DESCRIPTOR by a config option
named CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_DESCRIPTORS and use it instead of
'dereference_function_descriptor' macro to know whether an
arch has function descriptors.

To limit churn in one of the following patches, use
an #ifdef/#else construct with empty first part
instead of an #ifndef in asm-generic/sections.h

On powerpc, make sure the config option matches the ABI used
by the compiler with a BUILD_BUG_ON() and add missing _CALL_ELF=2
when calling 'sparse' so that sparse sees the same piece of
code as GCC.

And include a helper to check whether an arch has function
descriptors or not : have_function_descriptors()

sections.h, then update all the callers.

<title>kallsyms: remove arch specific text and data check</title>

<content type='text'>
Patch series "sections: Unify kernel sections range check and use", v4.

There are three head files(kallsyms.h, kernel.h and sections.h) which
include the kernel sections range check, let's make some cleanup and unify
them.

1. cleanup arch specific text/data check and fix address boundary check
   in kallsyms.h

2. make all the basic/core kernel range check function into sections.h

3. update all the callers, and use the helper in sections.h to simplify
   the code

After this series, we have 5 APIs about kernel sections range check in
sections.h

 * is_kernel_rodata()		--- already in sections.h
 * is_kernel_core_data()	--- come from core_kernel_data() in kernel.h
 * is_kernel_inittext()		--- come from kernel.h and kallsyms.h
 * __is_kernel_text()		--- add new internal helper
 * __is_kernel()		--- add new internal helper

Note: For the last two helpers, people should not use directly, consider to
      use corresponding function in kallsyms.h.

This patch (of 11):

Remove arch specific text and data check after commit 4ba66a976072 ("arch:
remove blackfin port"), no need arch-specific text/data check.

Remove arch specific text and data check after commit 4ba66a976072 ("arch:
remove blackfin port"), no need arch-specific text/data check.

Let's make kernel stacktraces easier to identify by including the build
ID[1] of a module if the stacktrace is printing a symbol from a module.
This makes it simpler for developers to locate a kernel module's full
debuginfo for a particular stacktrace.  Combined with
scripts/decode_stracktrace.sh, a developer can download the matching
debuginfo from a debuginfod[2] server and find the exact file and line
number for the functions plus offsets in a stacktrace that match the
module.  This is especially useful for pstore crash debugging where the
kernel crashes are recorded in something like console-ramoops and the
recovery kernel/modules are different or the debuginfo doesn't exist on
the device due to space concerns (the debuginfo can be too large for space
limited devices).

Originally, I put this on the %pS format, but that was quickly rejected
given that %pS is used in other places such as ftrace where build IDs
aren't meaningful.  There was some discussions on the list to put every
module build ID into the "Modules linked in:" section of the stacktrace
message but that quickly becomes very hard to read once you have more than
three or four modules linked in.  It also provides too much information
when we don't expect each module to be traversed in a stacktrace.  Having
the build ID for modules that aren't important just makes things messy.
Splitting it to multiple lines for each module quickly explodes the number
of lines printed in an oops too, possibly wrapping the warning off the
console.  And finally, trying to stash away each module used in a
callstack to provide the ID of each symbol printed is cumbersome and would
require changes to each architecture to stash away modules and return
their build IDs once unwinding has completed.

Instead, we opt for the simpler approach of introducing new printk formats
'%pS[R]b' for "pointer symbolic backtrace with module build ID" and '%pBb'
for "pointer backtrace with module build ID" and then updating the few
places in the architecture layer where the stacktrace is printed to use
this new format.

<title>kallsyms: Refactor kallsyms_show_value() to take cred</title>

In order to perform future tests against the cred saved during open(),
switch kallsyms_show_value() to operate on a cred, and have all current
callers pass current_cred(). This makes it very obvious where callers
are checking the wrong credential in their "read" contexts. These will
be fixed in the coming patches.

Additionally switch return value to bool, since it is always used as a
direct permission check, not a 0-on-success, negative-on-error style
function return.

Patch series "Add log level to show_stack()", v3.

Add log level argument to show_stack().

Done in three stages:
1. Introducing show_stack_loglvl() for every architecture
2. Migrating old users with an explicit log level
3. Renaming show_stack_loglvl() into show_stack()

Justification:

- It's a design mistake to move a business-logic decision into platform
  realization detail.

- I have currently two patches sets that would benefit from this work:
  Removing console_loglevel jumps in sysrq driver [1] Hung task warning
  before panic [2] - suggested by Tetsuo (but he probably didn't realise
  what it would involve).

- While doing (1), (2) the backtraces were adjusted to headers and other
  messages for each situation - so there won't be a situation when the
  backtrace is printed, but the headers are missing because they have
  lesser log level (or the reverse).

- As the result in (2) plays with console_loglevel for kdb are removed.

The least important for upstream, but maybe still worth to note that every
company I've worked in so far had an off-list patch to print backtrace
with the needed log level (but only for the architecture they cared
about).  If you have other ideas how you will benefit from show_stack()
with a log level - please, reply to this cover letter.

See also discussion on v1:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/20191106083538.z5nlpuf64cigxigh@pathway.suse.cz/

This patch (of 50):

print_ip_sym() needs to have a log level parameter to comply with other
parts being printed.  Otherwise, half of the expected backtrace would be
printed and other may be missing with some logging level.

The following callee(s) are using now the adjusted log level:
- microblaze/unwind: the same level as headers &amp; userspace unwind.
  Note that pr_debug()'s there are for debugging the unwinder itself.
- nds32/traps: symbol addresses are printed with the same log level
  as backtrace headers.
- lockdep: ip for locking issues is printed with the same log level
  as other part of the warning.
- sched: ip where preemption was disabled is printed as error like
  the rest part of the message.
- ftrace: bug reports are now consistent in the log level being used.

The least important for upstream, but maybe still worth to note that every
company I've worked in so far had an off-list patch to print backtrace
with the needed log level (but only for the architecture they cared
about).  If you have other ideas how you will benefit from show_stack()
with a log level - please, reply to this cover letter.

This patch (of 50):

print_ip_sym() needs to have a log level parameter to comply with other
parts being printed.  Otherwise, half of the expected backtrace would be
printed and other may be missing with some logging level.

The following callee(s) are using now the adjusted log level:
- microblaze/unwind: the same level as headers &amp; userspace unwind.
  Note that pr_debug()'s there are for debugging the unwinder itself.
- nds32/traps: symbol addresses are printed with the same log level
  as backtrace headers.
- lockdep: ip for locking issues is printed with the same log level
  as other part of the warning.
- sched: ip where preemption was disabled is printed as error like
  the rest part of the message.
- ftrace: bug reports are now consistent in the log level being used.
