[ Upstream commit 8101b5a1531f3390b3a69fa7934c70a8fd6566ad ]

Stephen reported the following build warning on a ARM multi_v7_defconfig
build with GCC 9.2.1:

kernel/futex.c: In function 'do_futex':
kernel/futex.c:1676:17: warning: 'oldval' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
 1676 |   return oldval == cmparg;
      |          ~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~
kernel/futex.c:1652:6: note: 'oldval' was declared here
 1652 |  int oldval, ret;
      |      ^~~~~~

introduced by commit a08971e9488d ("futex: arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser()
calling conventions change").

While that change should not make any difference it confuses GCC which
fails to work out that oldval is not referenced when the return value is
not zero.

GCC fails to properly analyze arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser(). It's not the
early return, the issue is with the assembly macros. GCC fails to detect
that those either set 'ret' to 0 and set oldval or set 'ret' to -EFAULT
which makes oldval uninteresting. The store to the callsite supplied oldval
pointer is conditional on ret == 0.

The straight forward way to solve this is to make the store unconditional.

Aside of addressing the build warning this makes sense anyway because it
removes the conditional from the fastpath. In the error case the stored
value is uninteresting and the extra store does not matter at all.

<title>ARM: 8847/1: pm: fix HYP/SVC mode mismatch when MCPM is used</title>

[ Upstream commit ca70ea43f80c98582f5ffbbd1e6f4da2742da0c4 ]

MCPM does a soft reset of the CPUs and uses common cpu_resume() routine to
perform low-level platform initialization. This results in a try to install
HYP stubs for the second time for each CPU and results in false HYP/SVC
mode mismatch detection. The HYP stubs are already installed at the
beginning of the kernel initialization on the boot CPU (head.S) or in the
secondary_startup() for other CPUs. To fix this issue MCPM code should use
a cpu_resume() routine without HYP stubs installation.

This change fixes HYP/SVC mode mismatch on Samsung Exynos5422-based Odroid
XU3/XU4/HC1 boards.

<title>ARM: 8813/1: Make aligned 2-byte getuser()/putuser() atomic on ARMv6+</title>

[ Upstream commit 344eb5539abf3e0b6ce22568c03e86450073e097 ]

getuser() and putuser() (and there underscored variants) use two
strb[t]/ldrb[t] instructions when they are asked to get/put 16-bits.
This means that the read/write is not atomic even when performed to a
16-bit-aligned address.

This leads to problems with vhost: vhost uses __getuser() to read the
vring's 16-bit avail.index field, and if it happens to observe a partial
update of the index, wrong descriptors will be used which will lead to a
breakdown of the virtio communication.  A similar problem exists for
__putuser() which is used to write to the vring's used.index field.

The reason these functions use strb[t]/ldrb[t] is because strht/ldrht
instructions did not exist until ARMv6T2/ARMv7.  So we should be easily
able to fix this on ARMv7.  Also, since all ARMv6 processors also don't
actually use the unprivileged instructions anymore for uaccess (since
CONFIG_CPU_USE_DOMAINS is not used) we can easily fix them too.

<title>ARM: spectre-v2: per-CPU vtables to work around big.Little systems</title>

Commit 383fb3ee8024d596f488d2dbaf45e572897acbdb upstream.

In big.Little systems, some CPUs require the Spectre workarounds in
paths such as the context switch, but other CPUs do not.  In order
to handle these differences, we need per-CPU vtables.

We are unable to use the kernel's per-CPU variables to support this
as per-CPU is not initialised at times when we need access to the
vtables, so we have to use an array indexed by logical CPU number.

We use an array-of-pointers to avoid having function pointers in
the kernel's read/write .data section.

Note: Added include of linux/slab.h in arch/arm/smp.c.

Commit e209950fdd065d2cc46e6338e47e52841b830cba upstream.

Allow the way we access members of the processor vtable to be changed
at compile time.  We will need to move to per-CPU vtables to fix the
Spectre variant 2 issues on big.Little systems.

However, we have a couple of calls that do not need the vtable
treatment, and indeed cause a kernel warning due to the (later) use
of smp_processor_id(), so also introduce the PROC_TABLE macro for
these which always use CPU 0's function pointers.

Commit e3aa6243434fd9a82e84bb79ab1abd14f2d9a5a7 upstream.

When Spectre mitigation is required, __put_user() needs to include
check_uaccess. This is already the case for put_user(), so just make
__put_user() an alias of put_user().

<title>ARM: 8794/1: uaccess: Prevent speculative use of the current addr_limit</title>

Commit 621afc677465db231662ed126ae1f355bf8eac47 upstream.

A mispredicted conditional call to set_fs could result in the wrong
addr_limit being forwarded under speculation to a subsequent access_ok
check, potentially forming part of a spectre-v1 attack using uaccess
routines.

This patch prevents this forwarding from taking place, but putting heavy
barriers in set_fs after writing the addr_limit.

Porting commit c2f0ad4fc089cff8 ("arm64: uaccess: Prevent speculative use
of the current addr_limit").
