The memcpy template is a bit unusual in the way it manages the stack
pointer: depending on the execution path through the function, the SP
assumes different values as different subsets of the register file are
preserved and restored again. This is problematic when it comes to EHABI
unwind info, as it is not instruction accurate, and does not allow
tracking the SP value as it changes.
Commit 279f487e0b471 ("ARM: 8225/1: Add unwinding support for memory
copy functions") addressed this by carving up the function in different
chunks as far as the unwinder is concerned, and keeping a set of unwind
directives for each of them, each corresponding with the state of the
stack pointer during execution of the chunk in question. This not only
duplicates unwind info unnecessarily, but it also complicates unwinding
the stack upon overflow.
Instead, let's do what the compiler does when the SP is updated halfway
through a function, which is to use a frame pointer and emit the
appropriate unwind directives to communicate this to the unwinder.
Note that Thumb-2 uses R7 for this, while ARM uses R11 aka FP. So let's
avoid touching R7 in the body of the template, so that Thumb-2 can use
it as the frame pointer. R11 was not modified in the first place.

There are no remaining callers of set_fs(), so just remove it
along with all associated code that operates on
thread_info->addr_limit.
There are still further optimizations that can be done:
- In get_user(), the address check could be moved entirely
into the out of line code, rather than passing a constant
as an argument,
- I assume the DACR handling can be simplified as we now
only change it during user access when CONFIG_CPU_SW_DOMAIN_PAN
is set, but not during set_fs().

ARMv6+ processors do not use CONFIG_CPU_USE_DOMAINS and use privileged
ldr/str instructions in copy_{from/to}_user. They are currently
unnecessarily using single ldr/str instructions and can use ldm/stm
instructions instead like memcpy does (but with appropriate fixup
tables).
This speeds up a "dd if=foo of=bar bs=32k" on a tmpfs filesystem by
about 4% on my Cortex-A9.

This reverts commit 4dd1837d7589f468ed109556513f476e7a7f9121.
Moving the exports for assembly code into the assembly files breaks
KSYM trimming, but also breaks modversions.
While fixing the KSYM trimming is trivial, fixing modversions brings
us to a technically worse position that we had prior to the above
change:
- We end up with the prototype definitions divorsed from everything
else, which means that adding or removing assembly level ksyms
become more fragile:
* if adding a new assembly ksyms export, a missed prototype in
asm-prototypes.h results in a successful build if no module in
the selected configuration makes use of the symbol.
* when removing a ksyms export, asm-prototypes.h will get forgotten,
with armksyms.c, you'll get a build error if you forget to touch
the file.
- We end up with the same amount of include files and prototypes,
they're just in a header file instead of a .c file with their
exports.
As for lines of code, we don't get much of a size reduction:
(original commit)
47 files changed, 131 insertions(+), 208 deletions(-)
(fix for ksyms trimming)
7 files changed, 18 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-)
(two fixes for modversions)
1 file changed, 34 insertions(+)
3 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
which results in a net total of only 25 lines deleted.
As there does not seem to be much benefit from this change of approach,
revert the change.

This moves all fixup snippets to the .text.fixup section, which is
a special section that gets emitted along with the .text section
for each input object file, i.e., the snippets are kept much closer
to the code they refer to, which helps prevent linker failure on
large kernels.

The memory copy functions(memcpy, __copy_from_user, __copy_to_user)
never had unwinding annotations added. Currently, when accessing
invalid pointer by these functions occurs the backtrace shown will
stop at these functions or some completely unrelated function.
Add unwinding annotations in hopes of getting a more useful backtrace
in following cases:
1. die on accessing invalid pointer by these functions
2. kprobe trapped at any instruction within these functions
3. interrupted at any instruction within these functions

/tmp/ccJ3ssZW.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccJ3ssZW.s:1952: Error: can't resolve `.text' {.text section} - `.LFB1077'
This is caused because:
.section .data
.section .text
.section .text
.previous
does not return us to the .text section, but the .data section; this
makes use of .previous dangerous if the ordering of previous sections
is not known.
Fix up the other users of .previous; .pushsection and .popsection are
a safer pairing to use than .section and .previous.

This allows for optional alternative implementations of __copy_to_user
and __clear_user, with a possible runtime fallback to the standard
version when the alternative provides no gain over that standard
version. This is done by making the standard __copy_to_user into a weak
alias for the symbol __copy_to_user_std. Same thing for __clear_user.
Those two functions are particularly good candidates to have alternative
implementations for, since they rely on the STRT instruction which has
lower performances than STM instructions on some CPU cores such as
the ARM1176 and Marvell Feroceon.

Back in the days when we had armo (26-bit) and armv (32-bit) combined,
we had an additional layer to the uaccess macros to ensure correct
typing. Since we no longer have 26-bit in this tree, we no longer
need this layer, so eliminate it.

Patch from Nicolas Pitre
This patch provides a preemption safe implementation of copy_to_user
and copy_from_user based on the copy template also used for memcpy.
It is enabled unconditionally when CONFIG_PREEMPT=y. Otherwise if the
configured architecture is not ARMv3 then it is enabled as well as it
gives better performances at least on StrongARM and XScale cores. If
ARMv3 is not too affected or if it doesn't matter too much then
uaccess.S could be removed altogether.
