Subject: [PATCH v8 1/3] x86: Expand exception table to allow new handling
 options

Huge amounts of help from  Andy Lutomirski and Borislav Petkov to
produce this. Andy provided the inspiration to add classes to the
exception table with a clever bit-squeezing trick, Boris pointed
out how much cleaner it would all be if we just had a new field.

Linus Torvalds blessed the expansion with:
  I'd rather not be clever in order to save just a tiny amount of space
  in the exception table, which isn't really criticial for anybody.

The third field is a simple integer indexing into an array of handler
functions (I thought it couldn't be a relative pointer like the other
fields because a module may have its ex_table loaded more than 2GB away
from the handler function - but that may not be actually true. But the
integer is pretty flexible, we are only really using low two bits now).

We start out with three handlers:

0: Legacy - just jumps the to fixup IP
1: Fault - provide the trap number in %ax to the fixup code
2: Cleaned up legacy for the uaccess error hack

@@ -290,3 +290,37 @@ Due to the way that the exception table is built and needs to be ordered,
 only use exceptions for code in the .text section.  Any other section
 will cause the exception table to not be sorted correctly, and the
 exceptions will fail.
+
+Things changed when 64-bit support was added to x86 Linux. Rather than
+double the size of the exception table by expanding the two entries
+from 32-bits to 64 bits, a clever trick was used to store addreesses
+as relative offsets from the table itself. The assembly code changed
+from:
+	.long 1b,3b
+to:
+        .long (from) - .
+        .long (to) - .
+and the C-code that uses these values converts back to absolute addresses
+like this:
+	ex_insn_addr(const struct exception_table_entry *x)
+	{
+		return (unsigned long)&x->insn + x->insn;
+	}
+
+In v4.5 the exception table entry was given a new field "handler".
+This is also 32-bits wide and contains an index into an array of
+handler functions that can perform specific operations in addition
+to re-writing the instruction pointer to jump to the fixup location.
+Initially there are three such functions:
+
+0) int ex_handler_default(const struct exception_table_entry *fixup,
+   This is legacy case that just jumps to the fixup code
+1) int ex_handler_fault(const struct exception_table_entry *fixup,
+   This case provides the fault number of the trap that occurred at
+   entry->insn. It is used to distinguish page faults from machine
+   check.
+2) int ex_handler_ext(const struct exception_table_entry *fixup,
+   This case is used to for uaccess_err ... we need to set a flag
+   in the task structure. Before the handler functions existed this
+   case was handled by adding a large offset to the fixup to tag
+   it as special.
