commit 68453767131a5deec1e8f9ac92a9042f929e585d upstream.

When CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU_VULNERABILITIES is not set, references
to spectre_v2_update_state() cause a build error, so provide an
empty stub for that function when the Kconfig option is not set.

Fixes this build error:

  arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: arch/arm/mm/proc-v7-bugs.o: in function `cpu_v7_bugs_init':
  proc-v7-bugs.c:(.text+0x52): undefined reference to `spectre_v2_update_state'
  arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: proc-v7-bugs.c:(.text+0x82): undefined reference to `spectre_v2_update_state'

Fixes: b9baf5c8c5c3 ("ARM: Spectre-BHB workaround")

commit 33970b031dc4653cc9dc80f2886976706c4c8ef1 upstream.

In the recent Spectre BHB patches, there was a typo that is only
exposed in certain configurations: mcr p15,0,XX,c7,r5,4 should have
been mcr p15,0,XX,c7,c5,4

commit b9baf5c8c5c356757f4f9d8180b5e9d234065bc3 upstream.

Workaround the Spectre BHB issues for Cortex-A15, Cortex-A57,
Cortex-A72, Cortex-A73 and Cortex-A75. We also include Brahma B15 as
well to be safe, which is affected by Spectre V2 in the same ways as
Cortex-A15.

Teach ftrace_make_call() and ftrace_make_nop() about PLTs.
Teach PLT code about FTRACE and all its callbacks.
Otherwise the following might happen:

commit 263d6287da1433aba11c5b4046388f2cdf49675c upstream.

When a VCPU is created, the kvm_vcpu struct is initialized to zero in
kvm_vm_ioctl_create_vcpu(). On VHE systems, the first time
vcpu.arch.mdcr_el2 is loaded on hardware is in vcpu_load(), before it is
set to a sensible value in kvm_arm_setup_debug() later in the run loop. The
result is that KVM executes for a short time with MDCR_EL2 set to zero.

This has several unintended consequences:

* Setting MDCR_EL2.HPMN to 0 is constrained unpredictable according to ARM
  DDI 0487G.a, page D13-3820. The behavior specified by the architecture
  in this case is for the PE to behave as if MDCR_EL2.HPMN is set to a
  value less than or equal to PMCR_EL0.N, which means that an unknown
  number of counters are now disabled by MDCR_EL2.HPME, which is zero.

* The host configuration for the other debug features controlled by
  MDCR_EL2 is temporarily lost. This has been harmless so far, as Linux
  doesn't use the other fields, but that might change in the future.

Let's avoid both issues by initializing the VCPU's mdcr_el2 field in
kvm_vcpu_vcpu_first_run_init(), thus making sure that the MDCR_EL2 register
has a consistent value after each vcpu_load().

commit fc2933c133744305236793025b00c2f7d258b687 upstream

Commit

  149a3ffe62b9dbc3 ("9012/1: move device tree mapping out of linear region")

created a permanent, read-only section mapping of the device tree blob
provided by the firmware, and added a set of macros to get the base and
size of the virtually mapped FDT based on the physical address. However,
while the mapping code uses the SECTION_SIZE macro correctly, the macros
use PMD_SIZE instead, which means something entirely different on ARM when
using short descriptors, and is therefore not the right quantity to use
here. So replace PMD_SIZE with SECTION_SIZE. While at it, change the names
of the macro and its parameter to clarify that it returns the virtual
address of the start of the FDT, based on the physical address in memory.

commit 7a1be318f5795cb66fa0dc86b3ace427fe68057f upstream

On ARM, setting up the linear region is tricky, given the constraints
around placement and alignment of the memblocks, and how the kernel
itself as well as the DT are placed in physical memory.

Let's simplify matters a bit, by moving the device tree mapping to the
top of the address space, right between the end of the vmalloc region
and the start of the the fixmap region, and create a read-only mapping
for it that is independent of the size of the linear region, and how it
is organized.

Since this region was formerly used as a guard region, which will now be
populated fully on LPAE builds by this read-only mapping (which will
still be able to function as a guard region for stray writes), bump the
start of the [underutilized] fixmap region by 512 KB as well, to ensure
that there is always a proper guard region here. Doing so still leaves
ample room for the fixmap space, even with NR_CPUS set to its maximum
value of 32.
