commit b0e901280d9860a0a35055f220e8e457f300f40a upstream.

Commit 6e7b64b9dd6d ("elfcore: fix building with clang") introduces
special handling for two architectures, ia64 and User Mode Linux.
However, the wrong name, i.e., CONFIG_UM, for the intended Kconfig
symbol for User-Mode Linux was used.

Although the directory for User Mode Linux is ./arch/um; the Kconfig
symbol for this architecture is called CONFIG_UML.

Luckily, ./scripts/checkkconfigsymbols.py warns on non-existing configs:

  UM
  Referencing files: include/linux/elfcore.h
  Similar symbols: UML, NUMA

Correct the name of the config to the intended one.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix um/x86_64, per Catalin]

<content type='text'>
commit 6e7b64b9dd6d96537d816ea07ec26b7dedd397b9 upstream.

kernel/elfcore.c only contains weak symbols, which triggers a bug with
clang in combination with recordmcount:

  Cannot find symbol for section 2: .text.
  kernel/elfcore.o: failed

Move the empty stubs into linux/elfcore.h as inline functions.  As only
two architectures use these, just use the architecture specific Kconfig
symbols to key off the declaration.

<title>BUG: headers with BUG/BUG_ON etc. need linux/bug.h</title>

<id>urn:sha1:187f1882b5b0748b3c4c22274663fdb372ac0452</id>
<content type='text'>
If a header file is making use of BUG, BUG_ON, BUILD_BUG_ON, or any
other BUG variant in a static inline (i.e. not in a #define) then
that header really should be including &lt;linux/bug.h&gt; and not just
expecting it to be implicitly present.

We can make this change risk-free, since if the files using these
headers didn't have exposure to linux/bug.h already, they would have
been causing compile failures/warnings.

The declarations for elf_core_extra_phdrs() et al got added on the
wrong side of #ifdef __KERNEL__ in linux/elfcore.h so they leak into
the user header copy and we get a warning at build time about it.

<title>elf coredump: add extended numbering support</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8d9032bbe4671dc481261ccd4e161cd96e54b118</id>
<content type='text'>
The current ELF dumper implementation can produce broken corefiles if
program headers exceed 65535.  This number is determined by the number of
vmas which the process have.  In particular, some extreme programs may use
more than 65535 vmas.  (If you google max_map_count, you can find some
users facing this problem.) This kind of program never be able to generate
correct coredumps.

This patch implements ``extended numbering'' that uses sh_info field of
the first section header instead of e_phnum field in order to represent
upto 4294967295 vmas.

This is supported by
AMD64-ABI(http://www.x86-64.org/documentation.html) and
Solaris(http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1984/).
Of course, we are preparing patches for gdb and binutils.

<title>elf coredump: replace ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* macros by functions</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1fcccbac89f5bbc5e41aa72086960059fce372da</id>
<content type='text'>
elf_core_dump() and elf_fdpic_core_dump() use #ifdef and the corresponding
macro for hiding _multiline_ logics in functions.  This patch removes
#ifdef and replaces ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* by corresponding functions.  For
architectures not implemeonting ELF_CORE_EXTRA_*, we use weak functions in
order to reduce a range of modification.

This cleanup is for my next patches, but I think this cleanup itself is
worth doing regardless of my firnal purpose.

Commit a65e7bfcd74e4c0939f235d2bf9f48ddb3a57991 broke the UML build with
the following error -

  In file included from fs/proc/kcore.c:17:
  include/linux/elfcore.h: In function 'elf_core_copy_task_regs':
  include/linux/elfcore.h:129: error: implicit declaration of function 'task_pt_regs'

Fix this by restoring the previous behavior of returning 0 for all arches
like UML that don't define task_pt_regs.
