[ Upstream commit 4d521943f76bd0d1e68ea5e02df7aadd30b2838a ]

GPIO_ACTIVE_x flags are not correct in the context of interrupt flags.
These are simple defines so they could be used in DTS but they will not
have the same meaning:
1. GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH = 0 = IRQ_TYPE_NONE
2. GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW  = 1 = IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING

Correct the interrupt flags, assuming the author of the code wanted same
logical behavior behind the name "ACTIVE_xxx", this is:
  ACTIVE_LOW  =&gt; IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_LOW
  ACTIVE_HIGH =&gt; IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH

Fixes: a1a8b4594f8d ("NFC: pn544: i2c: Add DTS Documentation")

commit 481535c5b41d191b22775a6873de5ec0e1cdced1 upstream.

fast_second_level_miss handler for the TLBTEMP area has an assumption
that page table directory entry for the TLBTEMP address range is 0. For
it to be true the TLBTEMP area must be aligned to 4MB boundary and not
share its 4MB region with anything that may use a page table. This is
not true currently: TLBTEMP shares space with vmalloc space which
results in the following kinds of runtime errors when
fast_second_level_miss loads page table directory entry for the vmalloc
space instead of fixing up the TLBTEMP area:

 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address c7ff0e00

commit 9a32a7e78bd0cd9a9b6332cbdc345ee5ffd0c5de upstream.

IBM Power9 processors can speculatively operate on data in the L1 cache
before it has been completely validated, via a way-prediction mechanism. It
is not possible for an attacker to determine the contents of impermissible
memory using this method, since these systems implement a combination of
hardware and software security measures to prevent scenarios where
protected data could be leaked.

However these measures don't address the scenario where an attacker induces
the operating system to speculatively execute instructions using data that
the attacker controls. This can be used for example to speculatively bypass
"kernel user access prevention" techniques, as discovered by Anthony
Steinhauser of Google's Safeside Project. This is not an attack by itself,
but there is a possibility it could be used in conjunction with
side-channels or other weaknesses in the privileged code to construct an
attack.

This issue can be mitigated by flushing the L1 cache between privilege
boundaries of concern. This patch flushes the L1 cache after user accesses.

This is part of the fix for CVE-2020-4788.

commit ffedeeb780dc554eff3d3b16e6a462a26a41d7ec upstream.

Introduce new C macros for annotations of functions and data in
assembly. There is a long-standing mess in macros like ENTRY, END,
ENDPROC and similar. They are used in different manners and sometimes
incorrectly.

So introduce macros with clear use to annotate assembly as follows:

a) Support macros for the ones below
   SYM_T_FUNC -- type used by assembler to mark functions
   SYM_T_OBJECT -- type used by assembler to mark data
   SYM_T_NONE -- type used by assembler to mark entries of unknown type

   They are defined as STT_FUNC, STT_OBJECT, and STT_NOTYPE
   respectively. According to the gas manual, this is the most portable
   way. I am not sure about other assemblers, so this can be switched
   back to %function and %object if this turns into a problem.
   Architectures can also override them by something like ", @function"
   if they need.

   SYM_A_ALIGN, SYM_A_NONE -- align the symbol?
   SYM_L_GLOBAL, SYM_L_WEAK, SYM_L_LOCAL -- linkage of symbols

b) Mostly internal annotations, used by the ones below
   SYM_ENTRY -- use only if you have to (for non-paired symbols)
   SYM_START -- use only if you have to (for paired symbols)
   SYM_END -- use only if you have to (for paired symbols)

c) Annotations for code
   SYM_INNER_LABEL_ALIGN -- only for labels in the middle of code
   SYM_INNER_LABEL -- only for labels in the middle of code

   SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL_ALIAS -- use where there are two local names for
	one function
   SYM_FUNC_START_ALIAS -- use where there are two global names for one
	function
   SYM_FUNC_END_ALIAS -- the end of LOCAL_ALIASed or ALIASed function

   SYM_FUNC_START -- use for global functions
   SYM_FUNC_START_NOALIGN -- use for global functions, w/o alignment
   SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL -- use for local functions
   SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL_NOALIGN -- use for local functions, w/o
	alignment
   SYM_FUNC_START_WEAK -- use for weak functions
   SYM_FUNC_START_WEAK_NOALIGN -- use for weak functions, w/o alignment
   SYM_FUNC_END -- the end of SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL, SYM_FUNC_START,
	SYM_FUNC_START_WEAK, ...

   For functions with special (non-C) calling conventions:
   SYM_CODE_START -- use for non-C (special) functions
   SYM_CODE_START_NOALIGN -- use for non-C (special) functions, w/o
	alignment
   SYM_CODE_START_LOCAL -- use for local non-C (special) functions
   SYM_CODE_START_LOCAL_NOALIGN -- use for local non-C (special)
	functions, w/o alignment
   SYM_CODE_END -- the end of SYM_CODE_START_LOCAL or SYM_CODE_START

d) For data
   SYM_DATA_START -- global data symbol
   SYM_DATA_START_LOCAL -- local data symbol
   SYM_DATA_END -- the end of the SYM_DATA_START symbol
   SYM_DATA_END_LABEL -- the labeled end of SYM_DATA_START symbol
   SYM_DATA -- start+end wrapper around simple global data
   SYM_DATA_LOCAL -- start+end wrapper around simple local data

==========

The macros allow to pair starts and ends of functions and mark functions
correctly in the output ELF objects.

All users of the old macros in x86 are converted to use these in further
patches.

   SYM_L_GLOBAL, SYM_L_WEAK, SYM_L_LOCAL -- linkage of symbols

b) Mostly internal annotations, used by the ones below
   SYM_ENTRY -- use only if you have to (for non-paired symbols)
   SYM_START -- use only if you have to (for paired symbols)
   SYM_END -- use only if you have to (for paired symbols)

c) Annotations for code
   SYM_INNER_LABEL_ALIGN -- only for labels in the middle of code
   SYM_INNER_LABEL -- only for labels in the middle of code

   SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL_ALIAS -- use where there are two local names for
	one function
   SYM_FUNC_START_ALIAS -- use where there are two global names for one
	function
   SYM_FUNC_END_ALIAS -- the end of LOCAL_ALIASed or ALIASed function

   SYM_FUNC_START -- use for global functions
   SYM_FUNC_START_NOALIGN -- use for global functions, w/o alignment
   SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL -- use for local functions
   SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL_NOALIGN -- use for local functions, w/o
	alignment
   SYM_FUNC_START_WEAK -- use for weak functions
   SYM_FUNC_START_WEAK_NOALIGN -- use for weak functions, w/o alignment
   SYM_FUNC_END -- the end of SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL, SYM_FUNC_START,
	SYM_FUNC_START_WEAK, ...

   For functions with special (non-C) calling conventions:
   SYM_CODE_START -- use for non-C (special) functions
   SYM_CODE_START_NOALIGN -- use for non-C (special) functions, w/o
	alignment
   SYM_CODE_START_LOCAL -- use for local non-C (special) functions
   SYM_CODE_START_LOCAL_NOALIGN -- use for local non-C (special)
	functions, w/o alignment
   SYM_CODE_END -- the end of SYM_CODE_START_LOCAL or SYM_CODE_START

d) For data
   SYM_DATA_START -- global data symbol
   SYM_DATA_START_LOCAL -- local data symbol
   SYM_DATA_END -- the end of the SYM_DATA_START symbol
   SYM_DATA_END_LABEL -- the labeled end of SYM_DATA_START symbol
   SYM_DATA -- start+end wrapper around simple global data
   SYM_DATA_LOCAL -- start+end wrapper around simple local data

==========

The macros allow to pair starts and ends of functions and mark functions
correctly in the output ELF objects.

All users of the old macros in x86 are converted to use these in further
patches.

[ Upstream commit b305dfe2e93434b12d438434461b709641f62af4 ]

The default RGB quantization range for BT.2020 is full range (just as for
all the other RGB pixel encodings), not limited range.

Update the V4L2_MAP_QUANTIZATION_DEFAULT macro and documentation
accordingly.

Also mention that HSV is always full range and cannot be limited range.

When RGB BT2020 was introduced in V4L2 it was not clear whether it should
be limited or full range, but full range is the right (and consistent)
choice.

<title>xen/events: defer eoi in case of excessive number of events</title>

commit e99502f76271d6bc4e374fe368c50c67a1fd3070 upstream.

In case rogue guests are sending events at high frequency it might
happen that xen_evtchn_do_upcall() won't stop processing events in
dom0. As this is done in irq handling a crash might be the result.

In order to avoid that, delay further inter-domain events after some
time in xen_evtchn_do_upcall() by forcing eoi processing into a
worker on the same cpu, thus inhibiting new events coming in.

The time after which eoi processing is to be delayed is configurable
via a new module parameter "event_loop_timeout" which specifies the
maximum event loop time in jiffies (default: 2, the value was chosen
after some tests showing that a value of 2 was the lowest with an
only slight drop of dom0 network throughput while multiple guests
performed an event storm).

How long eoi processing will be delayed can be specified via another
parameter "event_eoi_delay" (again in jiffies, default 10, again the
value was chosen after testing with different delay values).

This is part of XSA-332.

[ Upstream commit 0a4bb5e5507a585532cc413125b921c8546fc39f ]

Commit

  0c2a3913d6f5 ("x86/fpu: Parse clearcpuid= as early XSAVE argument")

changed clearcpuid parsing from __setup() to cmdline_find_option().
While the __setup() function would have been called for each clearcpuid=
parameter on the command line, cmdline_find_option() will only return
the last one, so the change effectively made it impossible to disable
more than one bit.

Allow a comma-separated list of bit numbers as the argument for
clearcpuid to allow multiple bits to be disabled again. Log the bits
being disabled for informational purposes.

Also fix the check on the return value of cmdline_find_option(). It
returns -1 when the option is not found, so testing as a boolean is
incorrect.

[ Upstream commit b38e7819cae946e2edf869e604af1e65a5d241c5 ]

Keyu Man reported that the ICMP rate limiter could be used
by attackers to get useful signal. Details will be provided
in an upcoming academic publication.

Our solution is to add some noise, so that the attackers
no longer can get help from the predictable token bucket limiter.
