m68k (other than Coldfire) uses syscall_trace for both trace entry
and trace exit. Seccomp support requires separate entry points for
trace entry and exit which are already provided for Coldfire.

Replace syscall_trace by syscall_trace_enter and syscall_trace_leave
in preparation for seccomp support.

No regression seen in testing with strace on ARAnyM.

<content type='text'>
Add a m68k-only set_fc helper to set the SFC and DFC registers for the
few places that need to override it for special MM operations, but
disconnect that from the deprecated kernel-wide set_fs() API.

Note that the SFC/DFC registers are context switched, so there is no need
to disable preemption.

Partially based on an earlier patch from
Linus Torvalds &lt;torvalds@linux-foundation.org&gt;.

<title>m68k: Leave stack mangling to asm wrapper of sigreturn()</title>

<content type='text'>
sigreturn has to deal with an unpleasant problem - exception stack frames
have different sizes, depending upon the exception (and processor model, as
well) and variable-sized part of exception frame may contain information
needed for instruction restart.  So when signal handler terminates and calls
sigreturn to resume the execution at the place where we'd been when we caught
the signal, it has to rearrange the frame at the bottom of kernel stack.
Worse, it might need to open a gap in the kernel stack, shifting pt_regs
towards lower addresses.

Doing that from C is insane - we'd need to shift stack frames (return addresses,
local variables, etc.) of C call chain, right under the nose of compiler and
hope it won't fall apart horribly.  What had been actually done is only slightly
less insane - an inline asm in mangle_kernel_stack() moved the stuff around,
then reset stack pointer and jumped to label in asm glue.

However, we can avoid all that mess if the asm wrapper we have to use anyway
would reserve some space on the stack between switch_stack and the C stack
frame of do_{rt_,}sigreturn().   Then C part can simply memmove() pt_regs +
switch_stack, memcpy() the variable part of exception frame into the opened
gap - all of that without inline asm, buggering C call chain, magical jumps
to asm labels, etc.

Asm wrapper would need to know where the moved switch_stack has ended up -
it might have been shifted into the gap we'd reserved before do_rt_sigreturn()
call.  That's where it needs to set the stack pointer to.  So let the C part
return just that and be done with that.

While we are at it, the call of berr_040cleanup() we need to do when
returning via 68040 bus error exception frame can be moved into C part
as well.

We get there when sigreturn has performed obscene acts on kernel stack;
in particular, the location of pt_regs has shifted.  We are about to call
syscall_trace(), which might stop for tracer.  If that happens, we'd better
have task_pt_regs() returning correct result...

<title>m68k: Wire up clone3() syscall</title>

Wire up the clone3() syscall for m68k. The special entry point is done in
assembler as was done for clone() as well. This is needed because all
registers need to be saved. The C wrapper then calls the generic
sys_clone3() with the correct arguments.

Tested on A1200 using the simple test program from:

<title>m68k: Use conventional function parameters for do_sigreturn</title>

<id>a95517992a37488c0bc8b629c47c570e580e407d</id>
<content type='text'>
Create conventional stack parameters for the calls to do_sigreturn and
do_rt_sigreturn. The current C code for do_sigreturn and do_rt_sigreturn
dig into the stack to create local pointers to the saved switch stack
and the pt_regs structs.

The motivation for this change is a problem with non-MMU targets that
have broken signal return paths on newer versions of gcc. It appears as
though gcc has determined that the pointers into the saved stack structs,
and the saved structs themselves, are function parameters and updates to
them will be lost on function return, so they are optimized away. This
results in large parts of restore_sigcontext() and mangle_kernel_stack()
functions being removed. Of course this results in non-functional code
causing kernel oops. This problem has been observed with gcc version
5.2 and 5.3, and probably exists in earlier versions as well.

Using conventional stack parameter pointers passed to these functions has
the advantage of the code here not needing to know the exact details of
how the underlying entry handler layed these structs out on the stack.
So the rather ugly pointer setup casting and arg referencing can be
removed.

The resulting code after this change is a few bytes larger (due to the
overhead of creating the stack args and their tear down). Not being hot
paths I don't think this is too much of a problem here.

An alternative solution is to put a barrier() in the do_sigreturn() code,
but this doesn't feel quite as clean as this solution.

This change has been compile tested on all defconfigs, and run tested on
Atari (through aranym), ColdFire with MMU (M5407EVB) and ColdFire with
no-MMU (QEMU and M5208EVB).

<title>m68k: Simplify low level interrupt handling code</title>

<id>09f90f6685cd88b6b904c141035d096169958cc4</id>
<content type='text'>
The low level interrupt entry code of m68k contains the following:

    add_preempt_count(HARDIRQ_OFFSET);

    do_IRQ();
	irq_enter();
	    add_preempt_count(HARDIRQ_OFFSET);
	handle_interrupt();    
	irq_exit();    
	    sub_preempt_count(HARDIRQ_OFFSET);
	    if (in_interrupt())
       	       return; &lt;---- On m68k always taken!
	    if (local_softirq_pending())
       	       do_softirq();

    sub_preempt_count(HARDIRQ_OFFSET);
    if (in_hardirq())
       return;
    if (status_on_stack_has_interrupt_priority_mask &gt; 0)
       return;
    if (local_softirq_pending())
       do_softirq();

    ret_from_exception:
	if (interrupted_context_is_kernel)
	   return:
	....

I tried to find a proper explanation for this, but the changelog is
sparse and there are no mails explaining it further. But obviously
this relates to the interrupt priority levels of the m68k and tries to
be extra clever with nested interrupts. Though this cleverness just
adds code bloat to the interrupt hotpath.

For the common case of non nested interrupts the code runs through two
extra conditionals to the only important one, which checks whether the
return is to kernel or user space.

For the nested case the checks for in_hardirq() and the priority mask
value on stack catch only the case where the nested interrupt happens
inside the hard irq context of the first interrupt. If the nested
interrupt happens while the first interrupt handles soft interrupts,
then these extra checks buy nothing. The nested interrupt will fall
through to the final kernel/user space return check at
ret_from_exception.

Changing the code flow in the following way:

    do_IRQ();
	irq_enter();
	    add_preempt_count(HARDIRQ_OFFSET);
	handle_interrupt();    
	irq_exit();    
	    sub_preempt_count(HARDIRQ_OFFSET);
	    if (in_interrupt())
       	       return;
	    if (local_softirq_pending())
       	       do_softirq();

    ret_from_exception:
	if (interrupted_context_is_kernel)
	   return:

makes the region protected by the hardirq count slightly smaller and
the softirq handling is invoked with a minimal deeper stack. But
otherwise it's completely functional equivalent and saves 104 bytes of
text in arch/m68k/kernel/entry.o.

This modification allows us further to get rid of the limitations
which m68k puts on the preempt_count layout, so we can make the
preempt count bits completely generic.

	irq_exit();    
	    sub_preempt_count(HARDIRQ_OFFSET);
	    if (in_interrupt())
       	       return;
	    if (local_softirq_pending())
       	       do_softirq();

    ret_from_exception:
	if (interrupted_context_is_kernel)
	   return:

makes the region protected by the hardirq count slightly smaller and
the softirq handling is invoked with a minimal deeper stack. But
otherwise it's completely functional equivalent and saves 104 bytes of
text in arch/m68k/kernel/entry.o.

This modification allows us further to get rid of the limitations
which m68k puts on the preempt_count layout, so we can make the
preempt count bits completely generic.

<title>m68k: switch to generic sys_execve()/kernel_execve()</title>

The tricky part here is that task_pt_regs() on m68k works *only* for
process inside do_signal().  However, we need something much simpler -
pt_regs of a process inside do_signal() may be at different offsets
from the stack bottom, depending on the way we'd entered the kernel,
but for a task inside sys_execve() it *is* at constant offset.
Moreover, for a kernel thread about to become a userland process the
same location is also fine - setting sp to that will leave the kernel
stack pointer at the very bottom of the kernel stack when we finally
switch to userland.
