<content type='text'>
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.

If UEFI Runtime Services are available, they are preferred over direct
PSCI calls or other methods to reset the system.

For the reset case, we need to hook into machine_restart(), as the
arm_pm_restart function pointer may be overwritten by modules.

<title>arm64: compat Fix siginfo_t -&gt; compat_siginfo_t conversion on big endian</title>

The native (64-bit) sigval_t union contains sival_int (32-bit) and
sival_ptr (64-bit). When a compat application invokes a syscall that
takes a sigval_t value (as part of a larger structure, e.g.
compat_sys_mq_notify, compat_sys_timer_create), the compat_sigval_t
union is converted to the native sigval_t with sival_int overlapping
with either the least or the most significant half of sival_ptr,
depending on endianness. When the corresponding signal is delivered to a
compat application, on big endian the current (compat_uptr_t)sival_ptr
cast always returns 0 since sival_int corresponds to the top part of
sival_ptr. This patch fixes copy_siginfo_to_user32() so that sival_int
is copied to the compat_siginfo_t structure.

<title>arm64: Fix text patching logic when using fixmap</title>

<content type='text'>
Patch 2f896d586610 ("arm64: use fixmap for text patching") changed
the way we patch the kernel text, using a fixmap when the kernel or
modules are flagged as read only.

Unfortunately, a flaw in the logic makes it fall over when patching
modules without CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX enabled:

[   32.034044] [&lt;fffffe0000135714&gt;] SyS_finit_module+0x94/0xc4
[...]

This is triggered by the use of virt_to_page() on a module address,
which ends to pointing to Nowhereland if you're lucky, or corrupt
your precious data if not.

This patch fixes the logic by mimicking what is done on arm:
- If we're patching a module and CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX is set,
  use vmalloc_to_page().
- If we're patching the kernel and CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is set,
  use virt_to_page().
- Otherwise, use the provided address, as we can write to it directly.

Tested on 4.0-rc1 as a KVM guest.

An arm64 allmodconfig fails to build with GCC 5 due to __asmeq
assertions in the PSCI firmware calling code firing due to mcount
preambles breaking our assumptions about register allocation of function
arguments:

  /tmp/ccDqJsJ6.s: Assembler messages:

This patch fixes the issue by moving the PSCI calls out-of-line into

The vdso implementation of clock_getres currently returns 0 (success)
whenever a null timespec is provided by the caller, regardless of the
clock id supplied.

This behavior is incorrect.  It should fall back to syscall when an
unrecognized clock id is passed, even when the timespec argument is
null.  This ensures that clock_getres always returns an error for
invalid clock ids.

Either instruction will work, as the link register is saved/restored

For instrumenting global variables KASan will shadow memory backing memory
for modules.  So on module loading we will need to allocate memory for
shadow and map it at address in shadow that corresponds to the address
allocated in module_alloc().

__vmalloc_node_range() could be used for this purpose, except it puts a
guard hole after allocated area.  Guard hole in shadow memory should be a
problem because at some future point we might need to have a shadow memory
at address occupied by guard hole.  So we could fail to allocate shadow
for module_alloc().

Now we have VM_NO_GUARD flag disabling guard page, so we need to pass into
__vmalloc_node_range().  Add new parameter 'vm_flags' to
__vmalloc_node_range() function.

For instrumenting global variables KASan will shadow memory backing memory
for modules.  So on module loading we will need to allocate memory for
shadow and map it at address in shadow that corresponds to the address
allocated in module_alloc().

__vmalloc_node_range() could be used for this purpose, except it puts a
guard hole after allocated area.  Guard hole in shadow memory should be a
problem because at some future point we might need to have a shadow memory
at address occupied by guard hole.  So we could fail to allocate shadow
for module_alloc().

Now we have VM_NO_GUARD flag disabling guard page, so we need to pass into
__vmalloc_node_range().  Add new parameter 'vm_flags' to
__vmalloc_node_range() function.

Pull KVM update from Paolo Bonzini:
 "Fairly small update, but there are some interesting new features.

  Common:
     Optional support for adding a small amount of polling on each HLT
     instruction executed in the guest (or equivalent for other
     architectures).  This can improve latency up to 50% on some
     scenarios (e.g. O_DSYNC writes or TCP_RR netperf tests).  This
     also has to be enabled manually for now, but the plan is to
     auto-tune this in the future.

  ARM/ARM64:
     The highlights are support for GICv3 emulation and dirty page
     tracking

  s390:
     Several optimizations and bugfixes.  Also a first: a feature
     exposed by KVM (UUID and long guest name in /proc/sysinfo) before
     it is available in IBM's hypervisor! :)

  MIPS:
     Bugfixes.

  x86:
     Support for PML (page modification logging, a new feature in
     Broadwell Xeons that speeds up dirty page tracking), nested
     virtualization improvements (nested APICv---a nice optimization),
     usual round of emulation fixes.

     There is also a new option to reduce latency of the TSC deadline
     timer in the guest; this needs to be tuned manually.

     Some commits are common between this pull and Catalin's; I see you
     have already included his tree.

  Powerpc:
     Nothing yet.

     The KVM/PPC changes will come in through the PPC maintainers,
     because I haven't received them yet and I might end up being
     offline for some part of next week"
