Commit a0d14b8909de ("x86/mm, tracing: Fix CR2 corruption") added the
address parameter to do_async_page_fault(), but does not pass it from the
32-bit entry point.  To plumb it through, factor-out
common_exception_read_cr2 in the same fashion as common_exception, and uses
it from both page_fault and async_page_fault.

For a 32-bit KVM guest, this fixes:

  Run /sbin/init as init process
  Starting init: /sbin/init exists but couldn't execute it (error -14)

<title>x86/entry/64: Prevent clobbering of saved CR2 value</title>

<content type='text'>
The recent fix for CR2 corruption introduced a new way to reliably corrupt
the saved CR2 value.

CR2 is saved early in the entry code in RDX, which is the third argument to
the fault handling functions. But it missed that between saving and
invoking the fault handler enter_from_user_mode() can be called. RDX is a
caller saved register so the invoked function can freely clobber it with
the obvious consequences.

The TRACE_IRQS_OFF call is safe as it calls through the thunk which
preserves RDX, but TRACE_IRQS_OFF_DEBUG is not because it also calls into
C-code outside of the thunk.

Store CR2 in R12 instead which is a callee saved register and move R12 to
RDX just before calling the fault handler.

In the sysctl code the proc_dointvec_minmax() function is often used to
validate the user supplied value between an allowed range.  This
function uses the extra1 and extra2 members from struct ctl_table as
minimum and maximum allowed value.

On sysctl handler declaration, in every source file there are some
readonly variables containing just an integer which address is assigned
to the extra1 and extra2 members, so the sysctl range is enforced.

The special values 0, 1 and INT_MAX are very often used as range
boundary, leading duplication of variables like zero=0, one=1,
int_max=INT_MAX in different source files:

    $ git grep -E '\.extra[12].*&amp;(zero|one|int_max)' |wc -l
    248

Add a const int array containing the most commonly used values, some
macros to refer more easily to the correct array member, and use them
instead of creating a local one for every object file.

This is the bloat-o-meter output comparing the old and new binary
compiled with the default Fedora config:

    # scripts/bloat-o-meter -d vmlinux.o.old vmlinux.o

<title>x86/mm, tracing: Fix CR2 corruption</title>

<id>a0d14b8909de55139b8702fe0c7e80b69763dcfb</id>
<content type='text'>
Despite the current efforts to read CR2 before tracing happens there still
exist a number of possible holes:

  idtentry page_fault             do_page_fault           has_error_code=1
    call error_entry
      TRACE_IRQS_OFF
        call trace_hardirqs_off*
          #PF // modifies CR2

      CALL_enter_from_user_mode
        __context_tracking_exit()
          trace_user_exit(0)
            #PF // modifies CR2

    call do_page_fault
      address = read_cr2(); /* whoopsie */

And similar for i386.

Fix it by pulling the CR2 read into the entry code, before any of that
stuff gets a chance to run and ruin things.
