If the irqsoff tracer is in use, stop tracing the interrupt disable
interval when returning to userspace.  Tracing userspace execution time
as interrupts disabled time is not helpful for kernel performance
analysis purposes.  Only do so if the irqsoff tracer is enabled, to
avoid overhead for lockdep, which doesn't care.

<title>arm: fix really nasty sigreturn bug</title>

<id>653d48b22166db2d8b1515ebe6f9f0f7c95dfc86</id>
<content type='text'>
If a signal hits us outside of a syscall and another gets delivered
when we are in sigreturn (e.g. because it had been in sa_mask for
the first one and got sent to us while we'd been in the first handler),
we have a chance of returning from the second handler to location one
insn prior to where we ought to return.  If r0 happens to contain -513
(-ERESTARTNOINTR), sigreturn will get confused into doing restart
syscall song and dance.

Incredible joy to debug, since it manifests as random, infrequent and
very hard to reproduce double execution of instructions in userland
code...

The fix is simple - mark it "don't bother with restarts" in wrapper,
i.e. set r8 to 0 in sys_sigreturn and sys_rt_sigreturn wrappers,
suppressing the syscall restart handling on return from these guys.
They can't legitimately return a restart-worthy error anyway.

Testcase:
	#include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
	#include &lt;signal.h&gt;
	#include &lt;stdlib.h&gt;
	#include &lt;sys/time.h&gt;
	#include &lt;errno.h&gt;

	void f(int n)
	{
		__asm__ __volatile__(
			"ldr r0, [%0]\n"
			"b 1f\n"
			"b 2f\n"
			"1:b .\n"
			"2:\n" : : "r"(&amp;n));
	}

	void handler1(int sig) { }
	void handler2(int sig) { raise(1); }
	void handler3(int sig) { exit(0); }

	main()
	{
		struct sigaction s = {.sa_handler = handler2};
		struct itimerval t1 = { .it_value = {1} };
		struct itimerval t2 = { .it_value = {2} };

		signal(1, handler1);

		sigemptyset(&amp;s.sa_mask);
		sigaddset(&amp;s.sa_mask, 1);
		sigaction(SIGALRM, &amp;s, NULL);

		signal(SIGVTALRM, handler3);

		setitimer(ITIMER_REAL, &amp;t1, NULL);
		setitimer(ITIMER_VIRTUAL, &amp;t2, NULL);

		f(-513); /* -ERESTARTNOINTR */

		write(1, "buggered\n", 9);
		return 1;
	}

Al Viro reports that calling "sys_sigsuspend(-ERESTARTNOHAND, 0, 0)"
with two signals coming and being handled in kernel space results
in the syscall restart being done twice.

Avoid this by clearing the 'why' flag when we call the signal handling
code to prevent further syscall restarts after the first.

This adds mcount recording and updates dynamic ftrace for ARM to work
with the new ftrace dyamic tracing implementation.  It also adds support
for the mcount format used by newer ARM compilers.

With dynamic tracing, mcount() is implemented as a nop.  Callsites are
patched on startup with nops, and dynamically patched to call to the
ftrace_caller() routine as needed.

<title>ARM: 6316/1: ftrace: add Thumb-2 support</title>

<content type='text'>
Fix the mcount routines to build and run on a kernel built with the
Thumb-2 instruction set by correcting the following errors using the
fixes suggested by Catalin Marinas:

 - Problem: The following assembler errors appear at the "adr r0,
   ftrace_stub" instruction:

   entry-common.S: Assembler messages:
   entry-common.S:179: Error: invalid immediate for address calculation (value = 0x00000004)

   Fix: The errors don't occur with a non-global symbol, so use one.

 - Problem: The "mov lr, pc" does not set the lsb when storing the pc in
   lr.  The called function returns with "bx lr", and the mode changes
   to ARM.

   Fix: Add a label on the return address and use "adr lr, BSYM(label)".

We don't modify the old mcount because it won't be built when using
Thumb-2.

When building as Thumb-2, the ".type foo, %function" annotation in
ENDPROC seems to be required in order for the assembly routines to be
recognized as Thumb-2 code.  If the ENDPROC annotations are not present,
calls to these routines are generated as BLX instead of BL.
