[PATCH v4 0/9] kentry: A stable bugfix and a bunch of improvements

From: Andy Lutomirski
Date: Wed Mar 17 2021 - 14:13:53 EST


I noticed a little bug in fast compat syscalls. I got a bit carried away
fixing it. This renames the irqentry stuff to kentry, improves (IMNSHO)
the API, and adds lots of debugging.

It also tweaks the unwinder wrt ret_from_fork and rewrites ret_from_fork
in C. I did this because the kentry work involved a small change to
ret_from_fork, and adjusting the asm is a mess. So C it is.

Changes from v3: Get rid of arm64 special cases

Changes from v1 and v2: Complete rewrite

Andy Lutomirski (9):
x86/dumpstack: Remove unnecessary range check fetching opcode bytes
x86/kthread,dumpstack: Set task_pt_regs->cs.RPL=3 for kernel threads
x86/entry: Convert ret_from_fork to C
kentry: Simplify the common syscall API
kentry: Remove enter_from/exit_to_user_mode()
entry: Make CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY available outside x86
kentry: Add debugging checks for proper kentry API usage
kentry: Check that syscall entries and syscall exits match
kentry: Verify kentry state in instrumentation_begin/end()
