force_iret() was originally intended to prevent the return to user mode with
the SYSRET or SYSEXIT instructions, in cases where the register state could
have been changed to be incompatible with those instructions. The entry code
has been significantly reworked since then, and register state is validated
before SYSRET or SYSEXIT are used. force_iret() no longer serves its original
purpose and can be eliminated.

The introduction of clone3 syscall accidentally broke CLONE_PIDFD
support in traditional clone syscall on compat x86 and those
architectures that use do_fork to implement clone syscall.
This bug was found by strace test suite.

This patch is a pre-requisite for enabling KASAN bitops instrumentation;
using static_cpu_has instead of boot_cpu_has avoids instrumentation of
test_bit inside the uaccess region. With instrumentation, the KASAN
check would otherwise be flagged by objtool.
For consistency, kernel/signal.c was changed to mirror this change,
however, is never instrumented with KASAN (currently unsupported under
x86 32bit).

Pull clone3 system call from Christian Brauner:
"This adds the clone3 syscall which is an extensible successor to clone
after we snagged the last flag with CLONE_PIDFD during the 5.2 merge
window for clone(). It cleanly supports all of the flags from clone()
and thus all legacy workloads.
There are few user visible differences between clone3 and clone.
First, CLONE_DETACHED will cause EINVAL with clone3 so we can reuse
this flag. Second, the CSIGNAL flag is deprecated and will cause
EINVAL to be reported. It is superseeded by a dedicated "exit_signal"
argument in struct clone_args thus freeing up even more flags. And
third, clone3 gives CLONE_PIDFD a dedicated return argument in struct
clone_args instead of abusing CLONE_PARENT_SETTID's parent_tidptr
argument.
The clone3 uapi is designed to be easy to handle on 32- and 64 bit:
/* uapi */
struct clone_args {
__aligned_u64 flags;
__aligned_u64 pidfd;
__aligned_u64 child_tid;
__aligned_u64 parent_tid;
__aligned_u64 exit_signal;
__aligned_u64 stack;
__aligned_u64 stack_size;
__aligned_u64 tls;
};
and a separate kernel struct is used that uses proper kernel typing:
/* kernel internal */
struct kernel_clone_args {
u64 flags;
int __user *pidfd;
int __user *child_tid;
int __user *parent_tid;
int exit_signal;
unsigned long stack;
unsigned long stack_size;
unsigned long tls;
};
The system call comes with a size argument which enables the kernel to
detect what version of clone_args userspace is passing in. clone3
validates that any additional bytes a given kernel does not know about
are set to zero and that the size never exceeds a page.
A nice feature is that this patchset allowed us to cleanup and
simplify various core kernel codepaths in kernel/fork.c by making the
internal _do_fork() function take struct kernel_clone_args even for
legacy clone().
This patch also unblocks the time namespace patchset which wants to
introduce a new CLONE_TIMENS flag.
Note, that clone3 has only been wired up for x86{_32,64}, arm{64}, and
xtensa. These were the architectures that did not require special
massaging.
Other architectures treat fork-like system calls individually and
after some back and forth neither Arnd nor I felt confident that we
dared to add clone3 unconditionally to all architectures. We agreed to
leave this up to individual architecture maintainers. This is why
there's an additional patch that introduces __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3
which any architecture can set once it has implemented support for
clone3. The patch also adds a cond_syscall(clone3) for architectures
such as nios2 or h8300 that generate their syscall table by simply
including asm-generic/unistd.h. The hope is to get rid of
__ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 and cond_syscall() rather soon"
* tag 'clone3-v5.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux:
arch: handle arches who do not yet define clone3
arch: wire-up clone3() syscall
fork: add clone3
|

This adds the clone3 system call.
As mentioned several times already (cf. [7], [8]) here's the promised
patchset for clone3().
We recently merged the CLONE_PIDFD patchset (cf. [1]). It took the last
free flag from clone().
Independent of the CLONE_PIDFD patchset a time namespace has been discussed
at Linux Plumber Conference last year and has been sent out and reviewed
(cf. [5]). It is expected that it will go upstream in the not too distant
future. However, it relies on the addition of the CLONE_NEWTIME flag to
clone(). The only other good candidate - CLONE_DETACHED - is currently not
recyclable as we have identified at least two large or widely used
codebases that currently pass this flag (cf. [2], [3], and [4]). Given that
CLONE_PIDFD grabbed the last clone() flag the time namespace is effectively
blocked. clone3() has the advantage that it will unblock this patchset
again. In general, clone3() is extensible and allows for the implementation
of new features.
The idea is to keep clone3() very simple and close to the original clone(),
specifically, to keep on supporting old clone()-based workloads.
We know there have been various creative proposals how a new process
creation syscall or even api is supposed to look like. Some people even
going so far as to argue that the traditional fork()+exec() split should be
abandoned in favor of an in-kernel version of spawn(). Independent of
whether or not we personally think spawn() is a good idea this patchset has
and does not want to have anything to do with this.
One stance we take is that there's no real good alternative to
clone()+exec() and we need and want to support this model going forward;
independent of spawn().
The following requirements guided clone3():
- bump the number of available flags
- move arguments that are currently passed as separate arguments
in clone() into a dedicated struct clone_args
- choose a struct layout that is easy to handle on 32 and on 64 bit
- choose a struct layout that is extensible
- give new flags that currently need to abuse another flag's dedicated
return argument in clone() their own dedicated return argument
(e.g. CLONE_PIDFD)
- use a separate kernel internal struct kernel_clone_args that is
properly typed according to current kernel conventions in fork.c and is
different from the uapi struct clone_args
- port _do_fork() to use kernel_clone_args so that all process creation
syscalls such as fork(), vfork(), clone(), and clone3() behave identical
(Arnd suggested, that we can probably also port do_fork() itself in a
separate patchset.)
- ease of transition for userspace from clone() to clone3()
This very much means that we do *not* remove functionality that userspace
currently relies on as the latter is a good way of creating a syscall
that won't be adopted.
- do not try to be clever or complex: keep clone3() as dumb as possible
In accordance with Linus suggestions (cf. [11]), clone3() has the following
signature:
/* uapi */
struct clone_args {
__aligned_u64 flags;
__aligned_u64 pidfd;
__aligned_u64 child_tid;
__aligned_u64 parent_tid;
__aligned_u64 exit_signal;
__aligned_u64 stack;
__aligned_u64 stack_size;
__aligned_u64 tls;
};
/* kernel internal */
struct kernel_clone_args {
u64 flags;
int __user *pidfd;
int __user *child_tid;
int __user *parent_tid;
int exit_signal;
unsigned long stack;
unsigned long stack_size;
unsigned long tls;
};
long sys_clone3(struct clone_args __user *uargs, size_t size)
clone3() cleanly supports all of the supported flags from clone() and thus
all legacy workloads.
The advantage of sticking close to the old clone() is the low cost for
userspace to switch to this new api. Quite a lot of userspace apis (e.g.
pthreads) are based on the clone() syscall. With the new clone3() syscall
supporting all of the old workloads and opening up the ability to add new
features should make switching to it for userspace more appealing. In
essence, glibc can just write a simple wrapper to switch from clone() to
clone3().
There has been some interest in this patchset already. We have received a
patch from the CRIU corner for clone3() that would set the PID/TID of a
restored process without /proc/sys/kernel/ns_last_pid to eliminate a race.
/* User visible differences to legacy clone() */
- CLONE_DETACHED will cause EINVAL with clone3()
- CSIGNAL is deprecated
It is superseeded by a dedicated "exit_signal" argument in struct
clone_args freeing up space for additional flags.
This is based on a suggestion from Andrei and Linus (cf. [9] and [10])

Pull x86 FPU state handling updates from Borislav Petkov:
"This contains work started by Rik van Riel and brought to fruition by
Sebastian Andrzej Siewior with the main goal to optimize when to load
FPU registers: only when returning to userspace and not on every
context switch (while the task remains in the kernel).
In addition, this optimization makes kernel_fpu_begin() cheaper by
requiring registers saving only on the first invocation and skipping
that in following ones.
What is more, this series cleans up and streamlines many aspects of
the already complex FPU code, hopefully making it more palatable for
future improvements and simplifications.
Finally, there's a __user annotations fix from Jann Horn"

The struct fpu.initialized member is always set to one for user tasks
and zero for kernel tasks. This avoids saving/restoring the FPU
registers for kernel threads.
The ->initialized = 0 case for user tasks has been removed in previous
changes, for instance, by doing an explicit unconditional init at fork()
time for FPU-less systems which was otherwise delayed until the emulated
opcode.
The context switch code (switch_fpu_prepare() + switch_fpu_finish())
can't unconditionally save/restore registers for kernel threads. Not
only would it slow down the switch but also load a zeroed xcomp_bv for
XSAVES.
For kernel_fpu_begin() (+end) the situation is similar: EFI with runtime
services uses this before alternatives_patched is true. Which means that
this function is used too early and it wasn't the case before.
For those two cases, use current->mm to distinguish between user and
kernel thread. For kernel_fpu_begin() skip save/restore of the FPU
registers.
During the context switch into a kernel thread don't do anything. There
is no reason to save the FPU state of a kernel thread.
The reordering in __switch_to() is important because the current()
pointer needs to be valid before switch_fpu_finish() is invoked so ->mm
is seen of the new task instead the old one.
N.B.: fpu__save() doesn't need to check ->mm because it is called by
user tasks only.

We're (finally) phasing out a.out support for good. As Borislav Petkov
points out, we've supported ELF binaries for about 25 years by now, and
coredumping in particular has bitrotted over the years.
None of the tool chains even support generating a.out binaries any more,
and the plan is to deprecate a.out support entirely for the kernel. But
I want to start with just removing the core dumping code, because I can
still imagine that somebody actually might want to support a.out as a
simpler biinary format.
Particularly if you generate some random binaries on the fly, ELF is a
much more complicated format (admittedly ELF also does have a lot of
toolchain support, mitigating that complexity a lot and you really
should have moved over in the last 25 years).
So it's at least somewhat possible that somebody out there has some
workflow that still involves generating and running a.out executables.
In contrast, it's very unlikely that anybody depends on debugging any
legacy a.out core files. But regardless, I want this phase-out to be
done in two steps, so that we can resurrect a.out support (if needed)
without having to resurrect the core file dumping that is almost
certainly not needed.
Jann Horn pointed to the <asm/a.out-core.h> file that my first trivial
cut at this had missed.
And Alan Cox points out that the a.out binary loader _could_ be done in
user space if somebody wants to, but we might keep just the loader in
the kernel if somebody really wants it, since the loader isn't that big
and has no really odd special cases like the core dumping does.

dump_thread32() in aout_core_dump() does not clear the user32 structure
allocated on the stack as the first thing on function entry.
As a result, the dump.u_comm, dump.u_ar0 and dump.signal which get
assigned before the clearing, get overwritten.
Rename that function to fill_dump() to make it clear what it does and
call it first thing.

Nobody has actually used the type (VERIFY_READ vs VERIFY_WRITE) argument
of the user address range verification function since we got rid of the
old racy i386-only code to walk page tables by hand.
It existed because the original 80386 would not honor the write protect
bit when in kernel mode, so you had to do COW by hand before doing any
user access. But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these
days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact.
A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range
checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to
move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at
the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's
just get this done once and for all.
This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for
the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form.
There were a couple of notable cases:
- csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias.
- the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual
values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing
really used it)
- microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout
but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch.
I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for
access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed
something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though.

compat_sys_*() functions are no longer called from within the kernel on
x86 except from the system call table. Linking the system call does not
require compat_sys_*() function prototypes at least on x86. Therefore,
generate compat_sys_*() prototypes on-the-fly within the
COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro, and remove x86-specific prototypes from
various header files.

With the CPU renaming registers on its own, and all the overhead of the
syscall entry/exit, it is doubtful whether the compiled output of
mov %r8, %rax
mov %rcx, %r8
mov %rax, %rcx
jmpq sys_clone
is measurably slower than the hand-crafted version of
xchg %r8, %rcx
So get rid of this special case.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

The x86 FPU code used to have a complex state machine where both the FPU
registers and the FPU state context could be 'active' (or inactive)
independently of each other - which enabled features like lazy FPU restore.
Much of this complexity is gone in the current code: now we basically can
have FPU-less tasks (kernel threads) that don't use (and save/restore) FPU
state at all, plus full FPU users that save/restore directly with no laziness
whatsoever.
But the fpu::fpstate_active still carries bits of the old complexity - meanwhile
this flag has become a simple flag that shows whether the FPU context saving
area in the thread struct is initialized and used, or not.
Rename it to fpu::initialized to express this simplicity in the name as well.

Introduce new flags that defines which ABI to use on creating sigframe.
Those flags kernel will set according to sigaction syscall ABI,
which set handler for the signal being delivered.
So that will drop the dependency on TIF_IA32/TIF_X32 flags on signal deliver.
Those flags will be used only under CONFIG_COMPAT.
Similar way ARM uses sa_flags to differ in which mode deliver signal
for 26-bit applications (look at SA_THIRYTWO).

The do_brk() and vm_brk() return value was "unsigned long" and returned
the starting address on success, and an error value on failure. The
reasons are entirely historical, and go back to it basically behaving
like the mmap() interface does.
However, nobody actually wanted that interface, and it causes totally
pointless IS_ERR_VALUE() confusion.
What every single caller actually wants is just the simpler integer
return of zero for success and negative error number on failure.
So just convert to that much clearer and more common calling convention,
and get rid of all the IS_ERR_VALUE() uses wrt vm_brk().

vm_brk is allowed to fail but load_aout_binary simply ignores the error
and happily continues. I haven't noticed any problem from that in real
life but later patches will make the failure more likely because vm_brk
will become killable (resp. mmap_sem for write waiting will become
killable) so we should be more careful now.
The error handling should be quite straightforward because there are
calls to vm_mmap which check the error properly already. The only
notable exception is set_brk which is called after beyond_if label. But
nothing indicates that we cannot move it above set_binfmt as the two do
not depend on each other and fail before we do set_binfmt and alter
reference counting.

Pull x86 core updates from Ingo Molnar:
"There were so many changes in the x86/asm, x86/apic and x86/mm topics
in this cycle that the topical separation of -tip broke down somewhat -
so the result is a more traditional architecture pull request,
collected into the 'x86/core' topic.
The topics were still maintained separately as far as possible, so
bisectability and conceptual separation should still be pretty good -
but there were a handful of merge points to avoid excessive
dependencies (and conflicts) that would have been poorly tested in the
end.
The next cycle will hopefully be much more quiet (or at least will
have fewer dependencies).
The main changes in this cycle were:
* x86/apic changes, with related IRQ core changes: (Jiang Liu, Thomas
Gleixner)
- This is the second and most intrusive part of changes to the x86
interrupt handling - full conversion to hierarchical interrupt
domains:
[IOAPIC domain] -----
|
[MSI domain] --------[Remapping domain] ----- [ Vector domain ]
| (optional) |
[HPET MSI domain] ----- |
|
[DMAR domain] -----------------------------
|
[Legacy domain] -----------------------------
This now reflects the actual hardware and allowed us to distangle
the domain specific code from the underlying parent domain, which
can be optional in the case of interrupt remapping. It's a clear
separation of functionality and removes quite some duct tape
constructs which plugged the remap code between ioapic/msi/hpet
and the vector management.
- Intel IOMMU IRQ remapping enhancements, to allow direct interrupt
injection into guests (Feng Wu)
* x86/asm changes:
- Tons of cleanups and small speedups, micro-optimizations. This
is in preparation to move a good chunk of the low level entry
code from assembly to C code (Denys Vlasenko, Andy Lutomirski,
Brian Gerst)
- Moved all system entry related code to a new home under
arch/x86/entry/ (Ingo Molnar)
- Removal of the fragile and ugly CFI dwarf debuginfo annotations.
Conversion to C will reintroduce many of them - but meanwhile
they are only getting in the way, and the upstream kernel does
not rely on them (Ingo Molnar)
- NOP handling refinements. (Borislav Petkov)
* x86/mm changes:
- Big PAT and MTRR rework: making the code more robust and
preparing to phase out exposing direct MTRR interfaces to drivers -
in favor of using PAT driven interfaces (Toshi Kani, Luis R
Rodriguez, Borislav Petkov)
- New ioremap_wt()/set_memory_wt() interfaces to support
Write-Through cached memory mappings. This is especially
important for good performance on NVDIMM hardware (Toshi Kani)
* x86/ras changes:
- Add support for deferred errors on AMD (Aravind Gopalakrishnan)
This is an important RAS feature which adds hardware support for
poisoned data. That means roughly that the hardware marks data
which it has detected as corrupted but wasn't able to correct, as
poisoned data and raises an APIC interrupt to signal that in the
form of a deferred error. It is the OS's responsibility then to
take proper recovery action and thus prolonge system lifetime as
far as possible.
- Add support for Intel "Local MCE"s: upcoming CPUs will support
CPU-local MCE interrupts, as opposed to the traditional system-
wide broadcasted MCE interrupts (Ashok Raj)
- Misc cleanups (Borislav Petkov)
* x86/platform changes:
- Intel Atom SoC updates
... and lots of other cleanups, fixlets and other changes - see the
shortlog and the Git log for details"
* 'x86-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (222 commits)

So the dwarf2 annotations in low level assembly code have
become an increasing hindrance: unreadable, messy macros
mixed into some of the most security sensitive code paths
of the Linux kernel.
These debug info annotations don't even buy the upstream
kernel anything: dwarf driven stack unwinding has caused
problems in the past so it's out of tree, and the upstream
kernel only uses the much more robust framepointers based
stack unwinding method.
In addition to that there's a steady, slow bitrot going
on with these annotations, requiring frequent fixups.
There's no tooling and no functionality upstream that
keeps it correct.
So burn down the sick forest, allowing new, healthier growth:
27 files changed, 350 insertions(+), 1101 deletions(-)
Someone who has the willingness and time to do this
properly can attempt to reintroduce dwarf debuginfo in x86
assembly code plus dwarf unwinding from first principles,
with the following conditions:
- it should be maximally readable, and maximally low-key to
'ordinary' code reading and maintenance.
- find a build time method to insert dwarf annotations
automatically in the most common cases, for pop/push
instructions that manipulate the stack pointer. This could
be done for example via a preprocessing step that just
looks for common patterns - plus special annotations for
the few cases where we want to depart from the default.
We have hundreds of CFI annotations, so automating most of
that makes sense.
- it should come with build tooling checks that ensure that
CFI annotations are sensible. We've seen such efforts from
the framepointer side, and there's no reason it couldn't be
done on the dwarf side.

handling functions
Most of the FPU does not use them, so split it out and include
them in signal.c and ia32_signal.c
Also fix header file dependency assumption in fpu/core.c.
