This reverts commit 1adb2ff1f6b170cdbc3925a359c8f39d2215dc20.

This breaks display wake up in stable kernels (5.7.x and 5.8.x).

Note that there is no upstream equivalent to this
revert. This patch was targeted for stable by Sasha's stable
patch process. Presumably there are some other changes necessary
for this patch to work properly on stable kernels.

<title>KVM: arm64: Only reschedule if MMU_NOTIFIER_RANGE_BLOCKABLE is not set</title>

commit b5331379bc62611d1026173a09c73573384201d9 upstream.

When an MMU notifier call results in unmapping a range that spans multiple
PGDs, we end up calling into cond_resched_lock() when crossing a PGD boundary,
since this avoids running into RCU stalls during VM teardown. Unfortunately,
if the VM is destroyed as a result of OOM, then blocking is not permitted
and the call to the scheduler triggers the following BUG():

 | BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at arch/arm64/kvm/mmu.c:394

Use the new 'flags' argument to kvm_unmap_hva_range() to ensure that we
only reschedule if MMU_NOTIFIER_RANGE_BLOCKABLE is set in the notifier
flags.

commit fdfe7cbd58806522e799e2a50a15aee7f2cbb7b6 upstream.

The 'flags' field of 'struct mmu_notifier_range' is used to indicate
whether invalidate_range_{start,end}() are permitted to block. In the
case of kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(), this field is not
forwarded on to the architecture-specific implementation of
kvm_unmap_hva_range() and therefore the backend cannot sensibly decide
whether or not to block.

Add an extra 'flags' parameter to kvm_unmap_hva_range() so that
architectures are aware as to whether or not they are permitted to block.

commit 8a8a3237a78cbc0557f0eb16a89f16d616323e99 upstream.

Make the command line parsing more robust, by handling the case it is
not NUL-terminated.

Use strnlen instead of strlen, and make sure that the temporary copy is
NUL-terminated before parsing.

commit a37ca6a2af9df2972372b918f09390c9303acfbd upstream.

Treat a NULL cmdline the same as empty. Although this is unlikely to
happen in practice, the x86 kernel entry does check for NULL cmdline and
handles it, so do it here as well.

commit c8502eb2d43b6b9b1dc382299a4d37031be63876 upstream.

When remapping the kernel rodata section RO in the EFI pagetables, the
protection flags that were used for the text section are being reused,
but the rodata section should not be marked executable.
