time: delete current_fs_time()

2017-05-12T22:57:15+00:00

All uses of the current_fs_time() function have been replaced by other time interfaces. And, its use cases can be fulfilled by current_time() or ktime_get_* variants.

perf/callchain: Force USER_DS when invoking perf_callchain_user()

2017-05-10T05:54:00+00:00

Perf can generate and record a user callchain in response to a synchronous request, such as a tracepoint firing. If this happens under set_fs(KERNEL_DS), then we can end up walking the user stack (and dereferencing/saving whatever we find there) without the protections usually afforded by checks such as access_ok. Rather than play whack-a-mole with each architecture's stack unwinding implementation, fix the root of the problem by ensuring that we force USER_DS when invoking perf_callchain_user from the perf core.
