It was meant well at the time but nothing's using it so get rid of it.

commit 8076fcde016c9c0e0660543e67bff86cb48a7c9c upstream.

RFDS is a CPU vulnerability that may allow userspace to infer kernel
stale data previously used in floating point registers, vector registers
and integer registers. RFDS only affects certain Intel Atom processors.

Intel released a microcode update that uses VERW instruction to clear
the affected CPU buffers. Unlike MDS, none of the affected cores support
SMT.

Add RFDS bug infrastructure and enable the VERW based mitigation by
default, that clears the affected buffers just before exiting to
userspace. Also add sysfs reporting and cmdline parameter
"reg_file_data_sampling" to control the mitigation.

For details see:
Documentation/admin-guide/hw-vuln/reg-file-data-sampling.rst

commit 3231dd5862779c2e15633c96133a53205ad660ce upstream.

The kernel-abi directive passes its argument straight to the shell.
This is unfortunate and unnecessary.

Let's always use paths relative to $srctree/Documentation/ and use
subprocess.check_call() instead of subprocess.Popen(shell=True).

This also makes the code shorter.

<title>rcu: Restrict access to RCU CPU stall notifiers</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 4e58aaeebb3c27993c734c99eae6881b196b1ddb ]

Although the RCU CPU stall notifiers can be useful for dumping state when
tracking down delicate forward-progress bugs where NUMA effects cause
cache lines to be delivered to a given CPU regularly, but always in a
state that prevents that CPU from making forward progress.  These bugs can
be detected by the RCU CPU stall-warning mechanism, but in some cases,
the stall-warnings printk()s disrupt the forward-progress bug before
any useful state can be obtained.

Unfortunately, the notifier mechanism added by commit 5b404fdabacf ("rcu:
Add RCU CPU stall notifier") can make matters worse if used at all
carelessly. For example, if the stall warning was caused by a lock not
being released, then any attempt to acquire that lock in the notifier
will hang. This will prevent not only the notifier from producing any
useful output, but it will also prevent the stall-warning message from
ever appearing.

This commit therefore hides this new RCU CPU stall notifier
mechanism under a new RCU_CPU_STALL_NOTIFIER Kconfig option that
depends on both DEBUG_KERNEL and RCU_EXPERT.  In addition, the
rcupdate.rcu_cpu_stall_notifiers=1 kernel boot parameter must also
be specified.  The RCU_CPU_STALL_NOTIFIER Kconfig option's help text
contains a warning and explains the dangers of careless use, recommending
lockless notifier code.  In addition, a WARN() is triggered each time
that an attempt is made to register a stall-warning notifier in kernels
built with CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_NOTIFIER=y.

This combination of measures will keep use of this mechanism confined to
debug kernels and away from routine deployments.

Pull NFS client updates from Trond Myklebust:
 "Bugfixes:

   - SUNRPC:
       - re-probe the target RPC port after an ECONNRESET error
       - handle allocation errors from rpcb_call_async()
       - fix a use-after-free condition in rpc_pipefs
       - fix up various checks for timeouts

   - NFSv4.1:
       - Handle NFS4ERR_DELAY errors during session trunking
       - fix SP4_MACH_CRED protection for pnfs IO

   - NFSv4:
       - Ensure that we test all delegations when the server notifies
         us that it may have revoked some of them

  Features:

   - Allow knfsd processes to break out of NFS4ERR_DELAY loops when
     re-exporting NFSv4.x by setting appropriate values for the
     'delay_retrans' module parameter

   - nfs: Convert nfs_symlink() to use a folio"

Pull media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:

 - the old V4L2 core videobuf kAPI was finally removed. All media
   drivers should now be using VB2 kAPI

 - new automotive driver: mgb4

 - new platform video driver: npcm-video

 - new sensor driver: mt9m114

 - new TI driver used in conjunction with Cadence CSI2RX IP to bridge
   TI-specific parts

 - ir-rx51 was removed and the N900 DT binding was moved to the
   pwm-ir-tx generic driver

 - drop atomisp-specific ov5693, using the upstream driver instead

 - the camss driver has gained RDI3 support for VFE 17x

 - the atomisp driver now detects ISP2400 or ISP2401 at run time. No
   need to set it up at build time anymore

 - lots of driver fixes, cleanups and improvements

Pull x86 microcode loading updates from Borislac Petkov:
 "Major microcode loader restructuring, cleanup and improvements by
  Thomas Gleixner:

   - Restructure the code needed for it and add a temporary initrd
     mapping on 32-bit so that the loader can access the microcode
     blobs. This in itself is a preparation for the next major
     improvement:

   - Do not load microcode on 32-bit before paging has been enabled.

     Handling this has caused an endless stream of headaches, issues,
     ugly code and unnecessary hacks in the past. And there really
     wasn't any sensible reason to do that in the first place. So switch
     the 32-bit loading to happen after paging has been enabled and turn
     the loader code "real purrty" again

   - Drop mixed microcode steppings loading on Intel - there, a single
     patch loaded on the whole system is sufficient

   - Rework late loading to track which CPUs have updated microcode
     successfully and which haven't, act accordingly

   - Move late microcode loading on Intel in NMI context in order to
     guarantee concurrent loading on all threads

   - Make the late loading CPU-hotplug-safe and have the offlined
     threads be woken up for the purpose of the update

   - Add support for a minimum revision which determines whether late
     microcode loading is safe on a machine and the microcode does not
     change software visible features which the machine cannot use
     anyway since feature detection has happened already. Roughly, the
     minimum revision is the smallest revision number which must be
     loaded currently on the system so that late updates can be allowed

   - Other nice leanups, fixess, etc all over the place"
