PA-RISC uses a much bigger frame size for functions than other
architectures. So increase it to 2048 for 32- and 64-bit kernels.
This fixes e.g. a warning in lib/xxhash.c.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - kprobes: Restructured stack unwinder to show properly on x86 when a
   stack dump happens from a kretprobe callback.

 - Fix to bootconfig parsing

 - Have tracefs allow owner and group permissions by default (only
   denying others). There's been pressure to allow non root to tracefs
   in a controlled fashion, and using groups is probably the safest.

 - Bootconfig memory managament updates.

 - Bootconfig clean up to have the tools directory be less dependent on
   changes in the kernel tree.

 - Allow perf to be traced by function tracer.

 - Rewrite of function graph tracer to be a callback from the function
   tracer instead of having its own trampoline (this change will happen
   on an arch by arch basis, and currently only x86_64 implements it).

 - Allow multiple direct trampolines (bpf hooks to functions) be batched
   together in one synchronization.

 - Allow histogram triggers to add variables that can perform
   calculations against the event's fields.

 - Use the linker to determine architecture callbacks from the ftrace
   trampoline to allow for proper parameter prototypes and prevent
   warnings from the compiler.

 - Extend histogram triggers to key off of variables.

 - Have trace recursion use bit magic to determine preempt context over
   if branches.

 - Have trace recursion disable preemption as all use cases do anyway.

 - Added testing for verification of tracing utilities.

 - Various small clean ups and fixes.

Pull overflow updates from Kees Cook:
 "The end goal of the current buffer overflow detection work[0] is to
  gain full compile-time and run-time coverage of all detectable buffer
  overflows seen via array indexing or memcpy(), memmove(), and
  memset(). The str*() family of functions already have full coverage.

  While much of the work for these changes have been on-going for many
  releases (i.e. 0-element and 1-element array replacements, as well as
  avoiding false positives and fixing discovered overflows[1]), this
  series contains the foundational elements of several related buffer
  overflow detection improvements by providing new common helpers and
  FORTIFY_SOURCE changes needed to gain the introspection required for
  compiler visibility into array sizes. Also included are a handful of
  already Acked instances using the helpers (or related clean-ups), with
  many more waiting at the ready to be taken via subsystem-specific
  trees[2].

  The new helpers are:

   - struct_group() for gaining struct member range introspection

   - memset_after() and memset_startat() for clearing to the end of
     structures

   - DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() for using flex arrays in unions or alone in
     structs

  Also included is the beginning of the refactoring of FORTIFY_SOURCE to
  support memcpy() introspection, fix missing and regressed coverage
  under GCC, and to prepare to fix the currently broken Clang support.
  Finishing this work is part of the larger series[0], but depends on
  all the false positives and buffer overflow bug fixes to have landed
  already and those that depend on this series to land.

  As part of the FORTIFY_SOURCE refactoring, a set of both a
  compile-time and run-time tests are added for FORTIFY_SOURCE and the
  mem*()-family functions respectively. The compile time tests have
  found a legitimate (though corner-case) bug[6] already.

  Please note that the appearance of "panic" and "BUG" in the
  FORTIFY_SOURCE refactoring are the result of relocating existing code,
  and no new use of those code-paths are expected nor desired.

  Finally, there are two tree-wide conversions for 0-element arrays and
  flexible array unions to gain sane compiler introspection coverage
  that result in no known object code differences.

  After this series (and the changes that have now landed via netdev and
  usb), we are very close to finally being able to build with
  -Warray-bounds and -Wzero-length-bounds.

  However, due corner cases in GCC[3] and Clang[4], I have not included
  the last two patches that turn on these options, as I don't want to
  introduce any known warnings to the build. Hopefully these can be
  solved soon"

<title>kprobes: convert tests to kunit</title>

This converts the kprobes testcases to use the kunit framework.
It adds a dependency on CONFIG_KUNIT, and the output will change
to TAP:

TAP version 14
1..1
    # Subtest: kprobes_test
    1..4
random: crng init done
    ok 1 - test_kprobe
    ok 2 - test_kprobes
    ok 3 - test_kretprobe
    ok 4 - test_kretprobes
ok 1 - kprobes_test

Note that the kprobes testcases are no longer run immediately after
kprobes initialization, but as a late initcall when kunit is
initialized. kprobes itself is initialized with an early initcall,
so the order is still correct.

Before changing anything about memcpy(), memmove(), and memset(), add
run-time tests to check basic behaviors for any regressions.

<title>xtensa: increase size of gcc stack frame check</title>

xtensa frame size is larger than the frame size for almost all other
architectures.  This results in more than 50 "the frame size of &lt;n&gt; is
larger than 1024 bytes" errors when trying to build xtensa:allmodconfig.

Increase frame size for xtensa to 1536 bytes to avoid compile errors due
to frame size limits.

<title>objtool: Support pv_opsindirect calls for noinstr</title>

Normally objtool will now follow indirect calls; there is no need.

However, this becomes a problem with noinstr validation; if there's an
indirect call from noinstr code, we very much need to know it is to
another noinstr function. Luckily there aren't many indirect calls in
entry code with the obvious exception of paravirt. As such, noinstr
validation didn't work with paravirt kernels.

In order to track pv_ops[] call targets, objtool reads the static
pv_ops[] tables as well as direct assignments to the pv_ops[] array,
provided the compiler makes them a single instruction like:

  bf87:       48 c7 05 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00        movq   $0x0,0x0(%rip)
    bf92 &lt;xen_init_spinlocks+0x5f&gt;
    bf8a: R_X86_64_PC32     pv_ops+0x268

There are, as of yet, no warnings for when this goes wrong :/

Using the functions found with the above means, all pv_ops[] calls are
now subject to noinstr validation.
