commit eb0146daefdde65665b7f076fbff7b49dade95b9 upstream.

Prohibit kprobes on do_undefinstr because kprobes on
arm is implemented by undefined instruction. This means
if we probe do_undefinstr(), it can cause infinit
recursive exception.

commit b9dd05c7002ee0ca8b676428b2268c26399b5e31 upstream.

When CONFIG_DEBUG_USER is enabled, it's possible for a user to
deliberately trigger dump_instr() with a chosen kernel address.

Let's avoid problems resulting from this by using get_user() rather than
__get_user(), ensuring that we don't erroneously access kernel memory.

So that we can use the same code to dump user instructions and kernel
instructions, the common dumping code is factored out to __dump_instr(),
with the fs manipulated appropriately in dump_instr() around calls to
this.

commit 3f4aa45ceea5789a4aade536acc27f2e0d3da5e1 upstream.

We cannot restart cacheflush safely if a process provides user-defined
signal handler and signal is pending. In this case -EINTR is returned
and it is expected that process re-invokes syscall. However, there are
a few problems with that:
 * looks like nobody bothers checking return value from cacheflush
 * but if it did, we don't provide the restart address for that, so the
   process has to use the same range again
 * ...and again, what might lead to looping forever

So, remove cacheflush restarting code and terminate cache flushing
as early as fatal signal is pending.

<title>ARM: 8148/1: flush TLS and thumbee register state during exec</title>

commit fbfb872f5f417cea48760c535e0ff027c88b507a upstream.

The TPIDRURO and TPIDRURW registers need to be flushed during exec;
otherwise TLS information is potentially leaked.  TPIDRURO in
particular needs careful treatment.  Since flush_thread basically
needs the same code used to set the TLS in arm_syscall, pull that into
a common set_tls helper in tls.h and use it in both places.

Similarly, TEEHBR needs to be cleared during exec as well.  Clearing
its save slot in thread_info isn't right as there is no guarantee
that a thread switch will occur before the new program runs.  Just
setting the register directly is sufficient.

Currently code has an inverted logic: opcode from user memory
is swapped to a proper endianness only in case of read error.
While normally opcode should be swapped only if it was read
correctly from user memory.

We don't need the offset for the first function name in each backtrace
entry; this needlessly consumes screen space.  This is virtually always
the first or second instruction in the called function.

Also, recognise stmfd instructions which include r10 as a valid stack
saving instruction, and when dumping the registers, dump six registers
per line rather than five, and fix the wrapping.
