Originally in patch e6d20c55a4 ("openrisc: entry: Fix delay slot
detection") I fixed delay slot detection, but only for QEMU.  We missed
that hardware delay slot detection using delay slot exception flag (DSX)
was still broken.  This was because QEMU set the DSX flag in both
pre-exception supervision register (ESR) and supervision register (SR)
register, but on real hardware the DSX flag is only set on the SR
register during exceptions.

Fix this by carrying the DSX flag into the SR register during exception.
We also update the DSX flag read locations to read the value from the SR
register not the pt_regs SR register which represents ESR.  The ESR
should never have the DSX flag set.

In the process I updated/removed a few comments to match the current
state.  Including removing a comment saying that the DSX detection logic
was inefficient and needed to be rewritten.

I have tested this on QEMU with a patch ensuring it matches the hardware
specification.

Pull siginfo updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This set of changes close the known issues with setting si_code to an
  invalid value, and with not fully initializing struct siginfo. There
  remains work to do on nds32, arc, unicore32, powerpc, arm, arm64, ia64
  and x86 to get the code that generates siginfo into a simpler and more
  maintainable state. Most of that work involves refactoring the signal
  handling code and thus careful code review.

  Also not included is the work to shrink the in kernel version of
  struct siginfo. That depends on getting the number of places that
  directly manipulate struct siginfo under control, as it requires the
  introduction of struct kernel_siginfo for the in kernel things.

  Overall this set of changes looks like it is making good progress, and
  with a little luck I will be wrapping up the siginfo work next
  development cycle"

Most mainstream architectures are using 65536 entries, so lets stick to
that.  If someone is really desperate to override it that can still be
done through &lt;asm/dma-mapping.h&gt;, but I'd rather see a really good
rationale for that.

dma_debug_init is now called as a core_initcall, which for many
architectures means much earlier, and provides dma-debug functionality
earlier in the boot process.  This should be safe as it only relies
on the memory allocator already being available.

Filling in struct siginfo before calling force_sig_info a tedious and
error prone process, where once in a great while the wrong fields
are filled out, and siginfo has been inconsistently cleared.

Simplify this process by using the helper force_sig_fault.  Which
takes as a parameters all of the information it needs, ensures
all of the fiddly bits of filling in struct siginfo are done properly
and then calls force_sig_info.

In short about a 5 line reduction in code for every time force_sig_info
is called, which makes the calling function clearer.

<title>signal: Ensure every siginfo we send has all bits initialized</title>

Call clear_siginfo to ensure every stack allocated siginfo is properly
initialized before being passed to the signal sending functions.

Note: It is not safe to depend on C initializers to initialize struct
siginfo on the stack because C is allowed to skip holes when
initializing a structure.

The initialization of struct siginfo in tracehook_report_syscall_exit
was moved from the helper user_single_step_siginfo into
tracehook_report_syscall_exit itself, to make it clear that the local
variable siginfo gets fully initialized.

In a few cases the scope of struct siginfo has been reduced to make it
clear that siginfo siginfo is not used on other paths in the function
in which it is declared.

Instances of using memset to initialize siginfo have been replaced
with calls clear_siginfo for clarity.

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - Add a console_msg_format command line option:

     The value "default" keeps the old "[time stamp] text\n" format. The
     value "syslog" allows to see the syslog-like "&lt;log
     level&gt;[timestamp] text" format.

     This feature was requested by people doing regression tests, for
     example, 0day robot. They want to have both filtered and full logs
     at hands.

 - Reduce the risk of softlockup:

     Pass the console owner in a busy loop.

     This is a new approach to the old problem. It was first proposed by
     Steven Rostedt on Kernel Summit 2017. It marks a context in which
     the console_lock owner calls console drivers and could not sleep.
     On the other side, printk() callers could detect this state and use
     a busy wait instead of a simple console_trylock(). Finally, the
     console_lock owner checks if there is a busy waiter at the end of
     the special context and eventually passes the console_lock to the
     waiter.

     The hand-off works surprisingly well and helps in many situations.
     Well, there is still a possibility of the softlockup, for example,
     when the flood of messages stops and the last owner still has too
     much to flush.

     There is increasing number of people having problems with
     printk-related softlockups. We might eventually need to get better
     solution. Anyway, this looks like a good start and promising
     direction.

 - Do not allow to schedule in console_unlock() called from printk():

     This reverts an older controversial commit. The reschedule helped
     to avoid softlockups. But it also slowed down the console output.
     This patch is obsoleted by the new console waiter logic described
     above. In fact, the reschedule made the hand-off less effective.

 - Deprecate "%pf" and "%pF" format specifier:

     It was needed on ia64, ppc64 and parisc64 to dereference function
     descriptors and show the real function address. It is done
     transparently by "%ps" and "pS" format specifier now.

     Sergey Senozhatsky found that all the function descriptors were in
     a special elf section and could be easily detected.

 - Remove printk_symbol() API:

     It has been obsoleted by "%pS" format specifier, and this change
     helped to remove few continuous lines and a less intuitive old API.

 - Remove redundant memsets:

     Sergey removed unnecessary memset when processing printk.devkmsg

Pull siginfo cleanups from Eric Biederman:
 "Long ago when 2.4 was just a testing release copy_siginfo_to_user was
  made to copy individual fields to userspace, possibly for efficiency
  and to ensure initialized values were not copied to userspace.

  Unfortunately the design was complex, it's assumptions unstated, and
  humans are fallible and so while it worked much of the time that
  design failed to ensure unitialized memory is not copied to userspace.

  This set of changes is part of a new design to clean up siginfo and
  simplify things, and hopefully make the siginfo handling robust enough
  that a simple inspection of the code can be made to ensure we don't
  copy any unitializied fields to userspace.

  The design is to unify struct siginfo and struct compat_siginfo into a
  single definition that is shared between all architectures so that
  anyone adding to the set of information shared with struct siginfo can
  see the whole picture. Hopefully ensuring all future si_code
  assignments are arch independent.

  The design is to unify copy_siginfo_to_user32 and
  copy_siginfo_from_user32 so that those function are complete and cope
  with all of the different cases documented in signinfo_layout. I don't
  think there was a single implementation of either of those functions
  that was complete and correct before my changes unified them.

  The design is to introduce a series of helpers including
  force_siginfo_fault that take the values that are needed in struct
  siginfo and build the siginfo structure for their callers. Ensuring
  struct siginfo is built correctly.

  The remaining work for 4.17 (unless someone thinks it is post -rc1
  material) is to push usage of those helpers down into the
  architectures so that architecture specific code will not need to deal

Pull siginfo cleanups from Eric Biederman:
 "Long ago when 2.4 was just a testing release copy_siginfo_to_user was
  made to copy individual fields to userspace, possibly for efficiency
  and to ensure initialized values were not copied to userspace.

  Unfortunately the design was complex, it's assumptions unstated, and
  humans are fallible and so while it worked much of the time that
  design failed to ensure unitialized memory is not copied to userspace.

  This set of changes is part of a new design to clean up siginfo and
  simplify things, and hopefully make the siginfo handling robust enough
  that a simple inspection of the code can be made to ensure we don't
  copy any unitializied fields to userspace.

  The design is to unify struct siginfo and struct compat_siginfo into a
  single definition that is shared between all architectures so that
  anyone adding to the set of information shared with struct siginfo can
  see the whole picture. Hopefully ensuring all future si_code
  assignments are arch independent.

  The design is to unify copy_siginfo_to_user32 and
  copy_siginfo_from_user32 so that those function are complete and cope
  with all of the different cases documented in signinfo_layout. I don't
  think there was a single implementation of either of those functions
  that was complete and correct before my changes unified them.

  The design is to introduce a series of helpers including
  force_siginfo_fault that take the values that are needed in struct
  siginfo and build the siginfo structure for their callers. Ensuring
  struct siginfo is built correctly.

  The remaining work for 4.17 (unless someone thinks it is post -rc1
  material) is to push usage of those helpers down into the
  architectures so that architecture specific code will not need to deal
  with the fiddly work of intializing struct siginfo, and then when
  struct siginfo is guaranteed to be fully initialized change copy
  siginfo_to_user into a simple wrapper around copy_to_user.

  Further there is work in progress on the issues that have been
  documented requires arch specific knowledge to sort out.

  been found with siginfo generation. Then proceed to unify struct
  siginfo the 32 bit helpers that copy siginfo to and from userspace,

<title>signal/openrisc: Fix do_unaligned_access to send the proper signal</title>

<content type='text'>
While reviewing the signal sending on openrisc the do_unaligned_access
function stood out because it is obviously wrong.  A comment about an
si_code set above when actually si_code is never set.  Leading to a
random si_code being sent to userspace in the event of an unaligned
access.

Looking further SIGBUS BUS_ADRALN is the proper pair of signal and
si_code to send for an unaligned access. That is what other
architectures do and what is required by posix.

Given that do_unaligned_access is broken in a way that no one can be
relying on it on openrisc fix the code to just do the right thing.

Make THREAD_SIZE available to vmlinux.lds on openrisc by including
asm/thread_info.h the linker script.

This allows init_stack to be allocated in the linker script in a subsequent
patch.

The printk tree in linux-next has a patch "symbol lookup: introduce
dereference_symbol_descriptor()" that includes sections.h in kallsyms.h,
so arch/openrisc/kernel/traps.c gets a second extern definition for
_etext and _stext.

Remove the local definitions and include sections.h directly in
preparation for the kallsyms.h change.

This fixes the following (future) build error:
