commit 402c43ea6b34a1b371ffeed9adf907402569eaf5 upstream.

In some use cases[1], the backend is created while the frontend doesn't
support the persistent grants feature, but later the frontend can be
changed to support the feature and reconnect.  In the past, 'blkback'
enabled the persistent grants feature since it unconditionally checked
if frontend supports the persistent grants feature for every connect
('connect_ring()') and decided whether it should use persistent grans or
not.

However, commit aac8a70db24b ("xen-blkback: add a parameter for
disabling of persistent grants") has mistakenly changed the behavior.
It made the frontend feature support check to not be repeated once it
shown the 'feature_persistent' as 'false', or the frontend doesn't
support persistent grants.

Similar behavioral change has made on 'blkfront' by commit 74a852479c68
("xen-blkfront: add a parameter for disabling of persistent grants").
This commit changes the behavior of the parameter to make effect for
every connect, so that the previous behavior of 'blkfront' can be
restored.

<title>serial: 8250: Add proper clock handling for OxSemi PCIe devices</title>

[ Upstream commit 366f6c955d4d1a5125ffcd6875ead26a3c7a2a1c ]

Oxford Semiconductor PCIe (Tornado) 950 serial port devices are driven
by a fixed 62.5MHz clock input derived from the 100MHz PCI Express clock.

We currently drive the device using its default oversampling rate of 16
and the clock prescaler disabled, consequently yielding the baud base of
3906250.  This base is inadequate for some of the high-speed baud rates
such as 460800bps, for which the closest rate possible can be obtained
by dividing the baud base by 8, yielding the baud rate of 488281.25bps,
which is off by 5.9638%.  This is enough for data communication to break
with the remote end talking actual 460800bps, where missed stop bits
have been observed.

We can do better however, by taking advantage of a reduced oversampling
rate, which can be set to any integer value from 4 to 16 inclusive by
programming the TCR register, and by using the clock prescaler, which
can be set to any value from 1 to 63.875 in increments of 0.125 in the
CPR/CPR2 register pair.  The prescaler has to be explicitly enabled
though by setting bit 7 in the MCR or otherwise it is bypassed (in the
enhanced mode that we enable) as if the value of 1 was used.

Make use of these features then as follows:

- Set the baud base to 15625000, reflecting the minimum oversampling
  rate of 4 with the clock prescaler and divisor both set to 1.

- Override the `set_mctrl' and set the MCR shadow there so as to have
  MCR[7] always set and have the 8250 core propagate these settings.

- Override the `get_divisor' handler and determine a good combination of
  parameters by using a lookup table with predetermined value pairs of
  the oversampling rate and the clock prescaler and finding a pair that
  divides the input clock such that the quotient, when rounded to the
  nearest integer, deviates the least from the exact result.  Calculate
  the clock divisor accordingly.

  Scale the resulting oversampling rate (only by powers of two) if
  possible so as to maximise it, reducing the divisor accordingly, and
  avoid a divisor overflow for very low baud rates by scaling the
  oversampling rate and/or the prescaler even if that causes some
  accuracy loss.

  Also handle the historic spd_cust feature so as to allow one to set
  all the three parameters manually to arbitrary values, by keeping the
  low 16 bits for the divisor and then putting TCR in bits 19:16 and
  CPR/CPR2 in bits 28:20, sanitising the bit pattern supplied such as
  to clamp CPR/CPR2 values between 0.000 and 0.875 inclusive to 33.875.
  This preserves compatibility with any existing setups, that is where
  requesting a custom divisor that only has any bits set among the low
  16 the oversampling rate of 16 and the clock prescaler of 33.875 will
  be used as with the original 8250.

  Finally abuse the `frac' argument to store the determined bit patterns
  for the TCR, CPR and CPR2 registers.

- Override the `set_divisor' handler so as to set the TCR, CPR and CPR2
  registers from the `frac' value supplied.  Set the divisor as usual.

With the baud base set to 15625000 and the unsigned 16-bit UART_DIV_MAX
limitation imposed by `serial8250_get_baud_rate' standard baud rates
below 300bps become unavailable in the regular way, e.g. the rate of
200bps requires the baud base to be divided by 78125 and that is beyond
the unsigned 16-bit range.  The historic spd_cust feature can still be
used to obtain such rates if so required.

See Documentation/tty/device_drivers/oxsemi-tornado.rst for more details.

commit e6cfcdda8cbe81eaf821c897369a65fec987b404 upstream.

AMD's "Technical Guidance for Mitigating Branch Type Confusion,
Rev. 1.0 2022-07-12" whitepaper, under section 6.1.2 "IBPB On
Privileged Mode Entry / SMT Safety" says:

  Similar to the Jmp2Ret mitigation, if the code on the sibling thread
  cannot be trusted, software should set STIBP to 1 or disable SMT to
  ensure SMT safety when using this mitigation.

So, like already being done for retbleed=unret, and now also for
retbleed=ibpb, force STIBP on machines that have it, and report its SMT
vulnerability status accordingly.

 [ bp: Remove the "we" and remove "[AMD]" applicability parameter which
   doesn't work here. ]

[ Upstream commit 2ee73ef60db4d79b9f9b8cd501e8188b5179449f ]

Change dm-writecache, so that it counts the number of blocks discarded
instead of the number of discard bios. Make it consistent with the
read and write statistics counters that were changed to count the
number of blocks instead of bios.

[ Upstream commit b2676e1482af89714af6988ce5d31a84692e2530 ]

Change dm-writecache, so that it counts the number of blocks written
instead of the number of write bios. Bios can be split and requeued
using the dm_accept_partial_bio function, so counting bios caused
inaccurate results.

[ Upstream commit 44b3834b2eed595af07021b1c64e6f9bc396398b ]

Cortex-A57 and Cortex-A72 have an erratum where an interrupt that
occurs between a pair of AES instructions in aarch32 mode may corrupt
the ELR. The task will subsequently produce the wrong AES result.

The AES instructions are part of the cryptographic extensions, which are
optional. User-space software will detect the support for these
instructions from the hwcaps. If the platform doesn't support these
instructions a software implementation should be used.

Remove the hwcap bits on affected parts to indicate user-space should
not use the AES instructions.

<title>x86: Handle idle=nomwait cmdline properly for x86_idle</title>

[ Upstream commit 8bcedb4ce04750e1ccc9a6b6433387f6a9166a56 ]

When kernel is booted with idle=nomwait do not use MWAIT as the
default idle state.

If the user boots the kernel with idle=nomwait, it is a clear
direction to not use mwait as the default idle state.
However, the current code does not take this into consideration
while selecting the default idle state on x86.

Fix it by checking for the idle=nomwait boot option in
prefer_mwait_c1_over_halt().

Also update the documentation around idle=nomwait appropriately.
