commit 905e8c5dcaa147163672b06fe9dcb5abaacbc711 upstream.

When running a compat (AArch32) userspace on Cortex-A53, a load at EL0
from a virtual address that matches the bottom 32 bits of the virtual
address used by a recent load at (AArch64) EL1 might return incorrect
data.

This patch works around the issue by writing to the contextidr_el1
register on the exception return path when returning to a 32-bit task.
This workaround is patched in at runtime based on the MIDR value of the
processor.

<title>arm64: apply alternatives for !SMP kernels</title>

commit 137650aad96c9594683445e41afa8ac5a2097520 upstream.

Currently we only perform alternative patching for kernels built with
CONFIG_SMP, as we call apply_alternatives_all() in smp.c, which is only
built for CONFIG_SMP. Thus !SMP kernels may not have necessary
alternatives patched in.

This patch ensures that we call apply_alternatives_all() once all CPUs
are booted, even for !SMP kernels, by having the smp_init_cpus() stub
call this for !SMP kernels via up_late_init. A new wrapper,
do_post_cpus_up_work, is added so we can hook other calls here later
(e.g. boot mode logging).

<title>KVM: arm/arm64: check IRQ number on userland injection</title>

commit fd1d0ddf2ae92fb3df42ed476939861806c5d785 upstream.

When userland injects a SPI via the KVM_IRQ_LINE ioctl we currently
only check it against a fixed limit, which historically is set
to 127. With the new dynamic IRQ allocation the effective limit may
actually be smaller (64).
So when now a malicious or buggy userland injects a SPI in that
range, we spill over on our VGIC bitmaps and bytemaps memory.
I could trigger a host kernel NULL pointer dereference with current
mainline by injecting some bogus IRQ number from a hacked kvmtool:
-----------------
....
DEBUG: kvm_vgic_inject_irq(kvm, cpu=0, irq=114, level=1)
DEBUG: vgic_update_irq_pending(kvm, cpu=0, irq=114, level=1)
DEBUG: IRQ #114 still in the game, writing to bytemap now...
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
pgd = ffffffc07652e000

Internal error: Oops: 96000006 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
Modules linked in:

pc : [&lt;ffffffc0000ae0a8&gt;] lr : [&lt;ffffffc0000ae180&gt;] pstate: 80000145
.....

So this patch fixes this by checking the SPI number against the
actual limit. Also we remove the former legacy hard limit of
127 in the ioctl code.

this_cpu operations were implemented for arm64 in:
 5284e1b arm64: xchg: Implement cmpxchg_double
 f97fc81 arm64: percpu: Implement this_cpu operations

Unfortunately, it is possible for pre-emption to take place between
address generation and data access. This can lead to cases where data
is being manipulated by this_cpu for a different CPU than it was
called on. Which effectively breaks the spec.

This patch disables pre-emption for the this_cpu operations
guaranteeing that address generation and data manipulation take place
without a pre-emption in-between.

init_mm isn't a normal mm: it has swapper_pg_dir as its pgd (which
contains kernel mappings) and is used as the active_mm for the idle
thread.

When restoring the pgd after an EFI call, we write current-&gt;active_mm
into TTBR0. If the current task is actually the idle thread (e.g. when
initialising the EFI RTC before entering userspace), then the TLB can
erroneously populate itself with junk global entries as a result of
speculative table walks.

When we do eventually return to userspace, the task can end up hitting
these junk mappings leading to lockups, corruption or crashes.

This patch fixes the problem in the same way as the CPU suspend code by
ensuring that we never switch to the init_mm in efi_set_pgd and instead
point TTBR0 at the zero page. A check is also added to cpu_switch_mm to
BUG if we get passed swapper_pg_dir.

The ARM architecture allows the caching of intermediate page table
levels and page table freeing requires a sequence like:

	pmd_clear()
	TLB invalidation
	pte page freeing

With commit 5e5f6dc10546 (arm64: mm: enable HAVE_RCU_TABLE_FREE logic),
the page table freeing batching was moved from tlb_remove_page() to
tlb_remove_table(). The former takes care of TLB invalidation as this is
also shared with pte clearing and page cache page freeing. The latter,
however, does not invalidate the TLBs for intermediate page table levels
as it probably relies on the architecture code to do it if required.
When the mm-&gt;mm_users &lt; 2, tlb_remove_table() does not do any batching
and page table pages are freed before tlb_finish_mmu() which performs
the actual TLB invalidation.

This patch introduces __tlb_flush_pgtable() for arm64 and calls it from
the {pte,pmd,pud}_free_tlb() directly without relying on deferred page
table freeing.

Commit 87366d8cf7b3 ("arm64: Add boot time configuration of
Intermediate Physical Address size") removed the hardcoded setting
of VTCR_EL2.PS to use ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1.PARange instead, but didn't
remove the (now rather misleading) comment.

Fix the comments to match reality (at least for the next few minutes).
