Pull fork cleanups from Christian Brauner:
 "This is cleanup series from when we reworked a chunk of the process
  creation paths in the kernel and switched to struct
  {kernel_}clone_args.

  High-level this does two main things:

   - Remove the double export of both do_fork() and _do_fork() where
     do_fork() used the incosistent legacy clone calling convention.

     Now we only export _do_fork() which is based on struct
     kernel_clone_args.

   - Remove the copy_thread_tls()/copy_thread() split making the
     architecture specific HAVE_COYP_THREAD_TLS config option obsolete.

  This switches all remaining architectures to select
  HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS and thus to the copy_thread_tls() calling
  convention. The current split makes the process creation codepaths
  more convoluted than they need to be. Each architecture has their own
  copy_thread() function unless it selects HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS then it
  has a copy_thread_tls() function.

  The split is not needed anymore nowadays, all architectures support
  CLONE_SETTLS but quite a few of them never bothered to select
  HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS and instead simply continued to use copy_thread()
  and use the old calling convention. Removing this split cleans up the
  process creation codepaths and paves the way for implementing clone3()
  on such architectures since it requires the copy_thread_tls() calling
  convention.

  After having made each architectures support copy_thread_tls() this
  series simply renames that function back to copy_thread(). It also
  switches all architectures that call do_fork() directly over to
  _do_fork() and the struct kernel_clone_args calling convention. This
  is a corollary of switching the architectures that did not yet support
  it over to copy_thread_tls() since do_fork() is conditional on not
  supporting copy_thread_tls() (Mostly because it lacks a separate
  argument for tls which is trivial to fix but there's no need for this
  function to exist.).

  The do_fork() removal is in itself already useful as it allows to to
  remove the export of both do_fork() and _do_fork() we currently have
  in favor of only _do_fork(). This has already been discussed back when
  we added clone3(). The legacy clone() calling convention is - as is
  probably well-known - somewhat odd:

    #
    # ABI hall of shame
    #
    config CLONE_BACKWARDS
    config CLONE_BACKWARDS2
    config CLONE_BACKWARDS3

  that is aggravated by the fact that some architectures such as sparc
  follow the CLONE_BACKWARDSx calling convention but don't really select
  the corresponding config option since they call do_fork() directly.

  So do_fork() enforces a somewhat arbitrary calling convention in the
  first place that doesn't really help the individual architectures that
  deviate from it. They can thus simply be switched to _do_fork()
  enforcing a single calling convention. (I really hope that any new
  architectures will __not__ try to implement their own calling
  conventions...)

  Most architectures already have made a similar switch (m68k comes to
  mind).

  Overall this removes more code than it adds even with a good portion
  of added comments. It simplifies a chunk of arch specific assembly
  either by moving the code into C or by simply rewriting the assembly.

  Architectures that have been touched in non-trivial ways have all been
  actually boot and stress tested: sparc and ia64 have been tested with
  Debian 9 images. They are the two architectures which have been
  touched the most. All non-trivial changes to architectures have seen
  acks from the relevant maintainers. nios2 with a custom built
  buildroot image. h8300 I couldn't get something bootable to test on
  but the changes have been fairly automatic and I'm sure we'll hear
  people yell if I broke something there.

  All other architectures that have been touched in trivial ways have
  been compile tested for each single patch of the series via git rebase
  -x "make ..." v5.8-rc2. arm{64} and x86{_64} have been boot tested
  even though they have just been trivially touched (removal of the
  HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS macro from their Kconfig) because well they are
  basically "core architectures" and since it is trivial to get your
  hands on a useable image"

<title>exec: Implement kernel_execve</title>

<content type='text'>
To allow the kernel not to play games with set_fs to call exec
implement kernel_execve.  The function kernel_execve takes pointers
into kernel memory and copies the values pointed to onto the new
userspace stack.

The calls with arguments from kernel space of do_execve are replaced
with calls to kernel_execve.

The calls do_execve and do_execveat are made static as there are now
no callers outside of exec.

The comments that mention do_execve are updated to refer to
kernel_execve or execve depending on the circumstances.  In addition
to correcting the comments, this makes it easy to grep for do_execve
and verify it is not used.

Now that HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS has been removed, rename copy_thread_tls()
back simply copy_thread(). It's a simpler name, and doesn't imply that only
tls is copied here. This finishes an outstanding chunk of internal process
creation work since we've added clone3().

<title>x86/entry: Unbreak __irqentry_text_start/end magic</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f0178fc01fe46bab6a95415f5647d1a74efcad1b</id>
<content type='text'>
The entry rework moved interrupt entry code from the irqentry to the
noinstr section which made the irqentry section empty.

This breaks boundary checks which rely on the __irqentry_text_start/end
markers to find out whether a function in a stack trace is
interrupt/exception entry code. This affects the function graph tracer and
filter_irq_stacks().

As the IDT entry points are all sequentialy emitted this is rather simple
to unbreak by injecting __irqentry_text_start/end as global labels.

To make this work correctly:

  - Remove the IRQENTRY_TEXT section from the x86 linker script
  - Define __irqentry so it breaks the build if it's used
  - Adjust the entry mirroring in PTI
  - Remove the redundant kprobes and unwinder bound checks

<title>x86/unwind: Prevent false warnings for non-current tasks</title>

<content type='text'>
There's some daring kernel code out there which dumps the stack of
another task without first making sure the task is inactive.  If the
task happens to be running while the unwinder is reading the stack,
unusual unwinder warnings can result.

There's no race-free way for the unwinder to know whether such a warning
is legitimate, so just disable unwinder warnings for all non-current
tasks.

<title>x86/stackframe/32: Provide consistent pt_regs</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently pt_regs on x86_32 has an oddity in that kernel regs
(!user_mode(regs)) are short two entries (esp/ss). This means that any
code trying to use them (typically: regs-&gt;sp) needs to jump through
some unfortunate hoops.

Change the entry code to fix this up and create a full pt_regs frame.

This then simplifies various trampolines in ftrace and kprobes, the
stack unwinder, ptrace, kdump and kgdb.

Much thanks to Josh for help with the cleanups!

<title>x86/unwind: Handle NULL pointer calls better in frame unwinder</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f4f34e1b82eb4219d8eaa1c7e2e17ca219a6a2b5</id>
<content type='text'>
When the frame unwinder is invoked for an oops caused by a call to NULL, it
currently skips the parent function because BP still points to the parent's
stack frame; the (nonexistent) current function only has the first half of
a stack frame, and BP doesn't point to it yet.

Add a special case for IP==0 that calculates a fake BP from SP, then uses
the real BP for the next frame.

Note that this handles first_frame specially: Return information about the
parent function as long as the saved IP is &gt;=first_frame, even if the fake
BP points below it.

With an artificially-added NULL call in prctl_set_seccomp(), before this
patch, the trace is:

Call Trace:
 ? prctl_set_seccomp+0x3a/0x50
 __x64_sys_prctl+0x457/0x6f0
 ? __ia32_sys_prctl+0x750/0x750
 do_syscall_64+0x72/0x160
 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9

After this patch, the trace is:

x86-32 doesn't have stack validation, so in most cases it doesn't make
sense to warn about bad frame pointers.

<content type='text'>
When printing the unwinder dump, the stack pointer could be unaligned,
for one of two reasons:

- stack corruption; or

- GCC created an unaligned stack.

There's no way for the unwinder to tell the difference between the two,
so we have to assume one or the other.  GCC unaligned stacks are very
rare, and have only been spotted before GCC 5.  Presumably, if we're
doing an unwinder stack dump, stack corruption is more likely than a
GCC unaligned stack.  So always align the stack before starting the
dump.
