Printing the list of loaded modules is really unrelated to what
this function is about, and is particularly unnecessary in the
context of the SysRQ key handling (gets printed so far over and
over).

It should really be the caller of the function to decide whether
this piece of information is useful (and to avoid redundantly
printing it).

Use a more current logging style:

 - Bare printks should have a KERN_<LEVEL> for consistency's sake
 - Add pr_fmt where appropriate
 - Neaten some macro definitions
 - Convert some Ok output to OK
 - Use "%s: ", __func__ in pr_fmt for summit
 - Convert some printks to pr_<level>

Message output is not identical in all cases.

What was called show_registers() so far already showed a stack
trace for kernel faults, and kernel_stack_pointer() isn't even
valid to be used for faults from user mode, hence it was
pointless for show_regs() to call show_trace() after
show_registers().

Simply rename show_registers() to show_regs() and eliminate
the old definition.

After printing out the first line of a stack backtrace,
print_context_stack() calls print_ftrace_graph_addr() to check
if it's making a graph of function calls, usually not the case.

But unfortunate ordering of assignments causes this to oops if
an earlier stack overflow corrupted threadinfo->task.  Reorder
to avoid that irritation.

( The fact that there was a stack overflow may often be more
  interesting than the stack that can now be shown; but
  integrating that information with this stacktrace is awkward,
  so leave it to overflow reporting. )

rsyslog will display KERN_EMERG messages on a connected
terminal.  However, these messages are useless/undecipherable
for a general user.

For example, after a softlockup we get:

 Message from syslogd@intel-s3e37-04 at Jan 25 14:18:06 ...
 kernel:Stack:

 Message from syslogd@intel-s3e37-04 at Jan 25 14:18:06 ...
 kernel:Call Trace:

 Message from syslogd@intel-s3e37-04 at Jan 25 14:18:06 ...
 kernel:Code: ff ff a8 08 75 25 31 d2 48 8d 86 38 e0 ff ff 48 89
 d1 0f 01 c8 0f ae f0 48 8b 86 38 e0 ff ff a8 08 75 08 b1 01 4c 89 e0 0f 01 c9 <e8> ea 69 dd ff 4c 29 e8 48 89 c7 e8 0f bc da ff 49 89 c4 49 89

This happens because the printk levels for these messages are
incorrect. Only an informational message should be displayed on
a terminal.

I modified the printk levels for various messages in the kernel
and tested the output by using the drivers/misc/lkdtm.c kernel
modules (ie, softlockups, panics, hard lockups, etc.) and
confirmed that the console output was still the same and that
the output to the terminals was correct.

For example, in the case of a softlockup we now see the much
more informative:

 Message from syslogd@intel-s3e37-04 at Jan 25 10:18:06 ...
 BUG: soft lockup - CPU4 stuck for 60s!

instead of the above confusing messages.

AFAICT, the messages no longer have to be KERN_EMERG.  In the
most important case of a panic we set console_verbose().  As for
the other less severe cases the correct data is output to the
console and /var/log/messages.

Successfully tested by me using the drivers/misc/lkdtm.c module.

On some arches (x86, sh, arm, unicore, powerpc) the oops message would
print out the last sysfs file accessed.

This was very useful in finding a number of sysfs and driver core bugs
in the 2.5 and early 2.6 development days, but it has been a number of
years since this file has actually helped in debugging anything that
couldn't also be trivially determined from the stack traceback.

So it's time to delete the line.  This is good as we need all the space
we can get for oops messages at times on consoles.

Current stack dump code scans entire stack and check each entry
contains a pointer to kernel code. If CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y it
could mark whether the pointer is valid or not based on value of
the frame pointer. Invalid entries could be preceded by '?' sign.

However this was not going to happen because scan start point
was always higher than the frame pointer so that they could not
meet.

Commit 9c0729dc ("x86: Eliminate bp argument from the stack
tracing routines") delayed bp acquisition point, so the bp was
read in lower frame, thus all of the entries were marked
invalid.

This patch fixes this by reverting above commit while retaining
stack_frame() helper as suggested by Frederic Weisbecker.

Generic Hardware Error Source provides a way to report platform
hardware errors (such as that from chipset). It works in so called
"Firmware First" mode, that is, hardware errors are reported to
firmware firstly, then reported to Linux by firmware. This way, some
non-standard hardware error registers or non-standard hardware link
can be checked by firmware to produce more valuable hardware error
information for Linux.

This patch adds POLL/IRQ/NMI notification types support.

Because the memory area used to transfer hardware error information
from BIOS to Linux can be determined only in NMI, IRQ or timer
handler, but general ioremap can not be used in atomic context, so a
special version of atomic ioremap is implemented for that.

Known issue:

- Error information can not be printed for recoverable errors notified
  via NMI, because printk is not NMI-safe. Will fix this via delay
  printing to IRQ context via irq_work or make printk NMI-safe.

v2:

- adjust printk format per comments.

The various stack tracing routines take a 'bp' argument in which the
caller is supposed to provide the base pointer to use, or 0 if doesn't
have one. Since bp is garbage whenever CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not
defined, this means all callers in principle should either always pass
0, or be conditional on CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER.

However, there are only really three use cases for stack tracing:

(a) Trace the current task, including IRQ stack if any
(b) Trace the current task, but skip IRQ stack
(c) Trace some other task

In all cases, if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not defined, bp should just
be 0.  If it _is_ defined, then

- in case (a) bp should be gotten directly from the CPU's register, so
  the caller should pass NULL for regs,

- in case (b) the caller should should pass the IRQ registers to
  dump_trace(),

- in case (c) bp should be gotten from the top of the task's stack, so
  the caller should pass NULL for regs.

Hence, the bp argument is not necessary because the combination of
task and regs is sufficient to determine an appropriate value for bp.

This patch introduces a new inline function stack_frame(task, regs)
that computes the desired bp. This function is then called from the
two versions of dump_stack().

Support for the PMU's BTS features has been upstreamed in
v2.6.32, but we still have the old and disabled ptrace-BTS,
as Linus noticed it not so long ago.

It's buggy: TIF_DEBUGCTLMSR is trampling all over that MSR without
regard for other uses (perf) and doesn't provide the flexibility
needed for perf either.

Its users are ptrace-block-step and ptrace-bts, since ptrace-bts
was never used and ptrace-block-step can be implemented using a
much simpler approach.

So axe all 3000 lines of it. That includes the *locked_memory*()

While processing kernel perf callchains, an bad entry can be
considered as a valid stack pointer but not as a kernel address.

In this case, we hang in an endless loop. This can happen in an
x86-32 kernel after processing the last entry in a kernel
stacktrace.

Just stop the stack frame walking after we encounter an invalid
kernel address.

perf events, x86/stacktrace: Fix performance/softlockup by providing a special frame pointer-only stack walker

It's just wasteful for stacktrace users like perf to walk
through every entries on the stack whereas these only accept
reliable ones, ie: that the frame pointer validates.

Since perf requires pure reliable stacktraces, it needs a stack
walker based on frame pointers-only to optimize the stacktrace
processing.

This might solve some near-lockup scenarios that can be triggered
by call-graph tracing timer events.

The current print_context_stack helper that does the stack
walking job is good for usual stacktraces as it walks through
all the stack and reports even addresses that look unreliable,
which is nice when we don't have frame pointers for example.

But we have users like perf that only require reliable
stacktraces, and those may want a more adapted stack walker, so
lets make this function a callback in stacktrace_ops that users
can tune for their needs.

The way to obtain a kernel-mode stack pointer from a struct pt_regs in
32-bit mode is "subtle": the stack doesn't actually contain the stack
pointer, but rather the location where it would have been marks the
actual previous stack frame.  For clarity, use kernel_stack_pointer()
instead of coding this weirdness explicitly.

Furthermore, user_mode() is only valid when the process is known to
not run in V86 mode.  Use the safer user_mode_vm() instead.

This patch introduces a new sysctl:

    /proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_io_nmi

which defaults to 0 (off).

When enabled, the kernel panics when the kernel receives an NMI
caused by an IO error.

The IO error triggered NMI indicates a serious system
condition, which could result in IO data corruption. Rather
than contiuing, panicing and dumping might be a better choice,
so one can figure out what's causing the IO error.

This could be especially important to companies running IO
intensive applications where corruption must be avoided, e.g. a
bank's databases.

There is nothing really arch specific of the push and pop functions
used by the function graph tracer. This patch moves them to generic
code.

Without frame pointers enabled, the x86 stack traces should not
pretend to be reliable; instead they should just be what they are:
unreliable.

The effect of this is that they have a '?' printed in the stacktrace,
to warn the reader that these entries are guesses rather than known
based on more reliable information.

Impact: better dumpstack output

I noticed in my crash dumps and even in the stack tracer that a
lot of functions listed in the stack trace are simply
return_to_handler which is ftrace graphs way to insert its own
call into the return of a function.

But we lose out where the actually function was called from.

This patch adds in hooks to the dumpstack mechanism that detects
this and finds the real function to print. Both are printed to
let the user know that a hook is still in place.

This does give a funny side effect in the stack tracer output:

        Depth   Size      Location    (80 entries)
        -----   ----      --------
  0)     4144      48   save_stack_trace+0x2f/0x4d

  3)     3952     384   return_to_handler+0x0/0x73
  4)     3568    -240   stack_trace_call+0x11d/0x209
  5)     3808     144   return_to_handler+0x0/0x73
  6)     3664    -128   mempool_alloc+0x4d/0xfe
  7)     3792     128   return_to_handler+0x0/0x73
  8)     3664     -32   scsi_sg_alloc+0x48/0x4a [scsi_mod]

As you can see, the real functions are now negative. This is due
to them not being found inside the stack.

Impact: cleanup

As promised, now that dumpstack_32 and dumpstack_64 have so many bits
in common, we should merge the in-sync bits into a common file, to
prevent them from diverging again.

This patch removes bits which are common between dumpstack_32.c and
dumpstack_64.c and places them in a common dumpstack.c which is built
for both 32 and 64 bit arches.

oops_begin/oops_end should always be used in pairs. On x86_64
oops_begin increments die_nest_count, and oops_end decrements
die_nest_count. Doing this makes oops_begin and oops_end equal
to the x86_64 versions.

Always call oops_exit from oops_end, even if signr==0.

Also, move add_taint(TAINT_DIE) from __die to oops_end
on x86_64 and interchange two lines to make oops_end
more similar to the i386-version.

Change oops_end such that signr=0 signals that do_exit
is not to be called.

Currently, each use of __die is soon followed by a call
to oops_end and 'regs' is set to NULL if oops_end is expected
not to call do_exit. Change all such pairs to set signr=0
instead. On x86_64 oops_end is used 'bare' in die_nmi; use
signr=0 instead of regs=NULL there, too.

There's a corner case in 32 bit x86 kdump at the moment.  When the box
panics via nmi, we call bust_spinlocks(1) to disable sensitivity to the
console_sem (allowing us to print to the console in all cases), but we don't
call crash_kexec, until after we call bust_spinlocks(0), which re-enables
console_sem sensitivity.

The result is that, if we get an nmi while the console_sem is held and
kdump is configured, and we try to print something to the console during
kdump shutdown (which we often do) we deadlock the box.  The fix is to
simply do what 64 bit die_nmi does which is to not call bust_spinlocks(0)
until after we call crash_kexec.

Patch below tested successfully by me.

Print the name of the last-accessed sysfs file when we oops, to help track
down oopses which occur in sysfs store/read handlers.  Because these oopses
tend to not leave any trace of the offending code in the stack traces.
