[ Upstream commit be4ca6c53e66cb275cf0d71f32dac0c4606b9dc0 ]

The init_size description of boot protocol has an example of the runtime
start address for the compressed bzImage. For non-relocatable kernel
it relies on the pref_address value (if not 0), but for relocatable case
only pays respect to the load_addres and kernel_alignment, and it is
inaccurate for the latter. Boot loader must consider the pref_address
as the Linux kernel relocates to it before being decompressed as nicely
described in this commit message a year ago:

  43b1d3e68ee7 ("kexec: Allocate kernel above bzImage's pref_address")

Due to this documentation inaccuracy some of the bootloaders (*) made a
mistake in the calculations and if kernel image is big enough, this may
lead to unbootable configurations.

*)
  In particular, kexec-tools missed that and resently got a couple of
  changes which will be part of v2.0.30 release. For the record,
  commit 43b1d3e68ee7 only fixed the kernel kexec implementation and
  also missed to update the init_size description.

While at it, make an example C-like looking as it's done elsewhere in
the document and fix indentation as presribed by the reStructuredText
specifications, so the syntax highliting will work properly.

[ Upstream commit 081eb7932c2b244f63317a982c5e3990e2c7fbdd ]

A number of Arm Ltd CPUs suffer from errata whereby an MSR to the SSBS
special-purpose register does not affect subsequent speculative
instructions, permitting speculative store bypassing for a window of
time.

We worked around this for a number of CPUs in commits:

* 7187bb7d0b5c7dfa ("arm64: errata: Add workaround for Arm errata 3194386 and 3312417")
* 75b3c43eab594bfb ("arm64: errata: Expand speculative SSBS workaround")
* 145502cac7ea70b5 ("arm64: errata: Expand speculative SSBS workaround (again)")

Since then, a (hopefully final) batch of updates have been published,
with two more affected CPUs. For the affected CPUs the existing
mitigation is sufficient, as described in their respective Software
Developer Errata Notice (SDEN) documents:

* Cortex-A715 (MP148) SDEN v15.0, erratum 3456084
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-2148827/1500/

* Neoverse-N3 (MP195) SDEN v5.0, erratum 3456111
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-3050973/0500/

Enable the existing mitigation by adding the relevant MIDRs to
erratum_spec_ssbs_list, and update silicon-errata.rst and the
Kconfig text accordingly.

There have been a couple of reports that using the hint address to
restrict the address returned by mmap hint address has caused issues in
applications. A different solution for restricting addresses returned by
mmap is necessary to avoid breakages.

as it didn't handle the sv39 cases we were trying to deal with.]

Evan Green &lt;evan@rivosinc.com&gt; says:

The CPUPERF0 hwprobe key was documented and identified in code as
a bitmask value, but its contents were an enum. This produced
incorrect behavior in conjunction with the WHICH_CPUS hwprobe flag.
The first patch in this series fixes the bitmask/enum problem by
creating a new hwprobe key that returns the same data, but is
properly described as a value instead of a bitmask. The second patch
renames the value definitions in preparation for adding vector misaligned
access info. As of this version, the old defines are kept in place to
maintain source compatibility with older userspace programs.

In preparation for misaligned vector performance hwprobe keys, rename

This change is intended to be a functional no-op.

RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_CPUPERF_0 was mistakenly flagged as a bitmask in
hwprobe_key_is_bitmask(), when in reality it was an enum value. This
causes problems when used in conjunction with RISCV_HWPROBE_WHICH_CPUS,
since SLOW, FAST, and EMULATED have values whose bits overlap with
each other. If the caller asked for the set of CPUs that was SLOW or
EMULATED, the returned set would also include CPUs that were FAST.

Introduce a new hwprobe key, RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_MISALIGNED_PERF, which
returns the same values in response to a direct query (with no flags),
but is properly handled as an enumerated value. As a result, SLOW,
FAST, and EMULATED are all correctly treated as distinct values under
the new key when queried with the WHICH_CPUS flag.

Leave the old key in place to avoid disturbing applications which may
have already come to rely on the key, with or without its broken
behavior with respect to the WHICH_CPUS flag.

RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_CPUPERF_0 was mistakenly flagged as a bitmask in
hwprobe_key_is_bitmask(), when in reality it was an enum value. This
causes problems when used in conjunction with RISCV_HWPROBE_WHICH_CPUS,
since SLOW, FAST, and EMULATED have values whose bits overlap with
each other. If the caller asked for the set of CPUs that was SLOW or
EMULATED, the returned set would also include CPUs that were FAST.

<title>arm64: errata: Expand speculative SSBS workaround (again)</title>

A number of Arm Ltd CPUs suffer from errata whereby an MSR to the SSBS
special-purpose register does not affect subsequent speculative
instructions, permitting speculative store bypassing for a window of
time.

We worked around this for a number of CPUs in commits:

* 7187bb7d0b5c7dfa ("arm64: errata: Add workaround for Arm errata 3194386 and 3312417")
* 75b3c43eab594bfb ("arm64: errata: Expand speculative SSBS workaround")

Since then, similar errata have been published for a number of other Arm
Ltd CPUs, for which the same mitigation is sufficient. This is described
in their respective Software Developer Errata Notice (SDEN) documents:

* Cortex-A76 (MP052) SDEN v31.0, erratum 3324349
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-885749/3100/

* Cortex-A77 (MP074) SDEN v19.0, erratum 3324348
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-1152370/1900/

* Cortex-A78 (MP102) SDEN v21.0, erratum 3324344
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-1401784/2100/

* Cortex-A78C (MP138) SDEN v16.0, erratum 3324346
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-1707916/1600/

* Cortex-A78C (MP154) SDEN v10.0, erratum 3324347
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-2004089/1000/

* Cortex-A725 (MP190) SDEN v5.0, erratum 3456106
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-2832921/0500/

* Cortex-X1 (MP077) SDEN v21.0, erratum 3324344
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-1401782/2100/

* Cortex-X1C (MP136) SDEN v16.0, erratum 3324346
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-1707914/1600/

* Neoverse-N1 (MP050) SDEN v32.0, erratum 3324349
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-885747/3200/

* Neoverse-V1 (MP076) SDEN v19.0, erratum 3324341
  https://developer.arm.com/documentation/SDEN-1401781/1900/

Note that due to the manner in which Arm develops IP and tracks errata,
some CPUs share a common erratum number and some CPUs have multiple
erratum numbers for the same HW issue.

On parts without SB, it is necessary to use ISB for the workaround. The
spec_bar() macro used in the mitigation will expand to a "DSB SY; ISB"
sequence in this case, which is sufficient on all affected parts.

Enable the existing mitigation by adding the relevant MIDRs to
erratum_spec_ssbs_list. The list is sorted alphanumerically (involving
moving Neoverse-V3 after Neoverse-V2) so that this is easy to audit and
potentially extend again in future. The Kconfig text is also updated to
clarify the set of affected parts and the mitigation.
