commit 147b9635e6347104b91f48ca9dca61eb0fbf2a54 upstream.

If CTR_EL0.{CWG,ERG} are 0b0000 then they must be interpreted to have
their architecturally maximum values, which defeats the use of
FTR_HIGHER_SAFE when sanitising CPU ID registers on heterogeneous
machines.

Introduce FTR_HIGHER_OR_ZERO_SAFE so that these fields effectively
saturate at zero.

<title>arm64: Fix incorrect irqflag restore for priority masking</title>

commit bd82d4bd21880b7c4d5f5756be435095d6ae07b5 upstream.

When using IRQ priority masking to disable interrupts, in order to deal
with the PSR.I state, local_irq_save() would convert the I bit into a
PMR value (GIC_PRIO_IRQOFF). This resulted in local_irq_restore()
potentially modifying the value of PMR in undesired location due to the
state of PSR.I upon flag saving [1].

In an attempt to solve this issue in a less hackish manner, introduce
a bit (GIC_PRIO_IGNORE_PMR) for the PMR values that can represent
whether PSR.I is being used to disable interrupts, in which case it
takes precedence of the status of interrupt masking via PMR.

GIC_PRIO_PSR_I_SET is chosen such that (&lt;pmr_value&gt; |
GIC_PRIO_PSR_I_SET) does not mask more interrupts than &lt;pmr_value&gt; as
some sections (e.g. arch_cpu_idle(), interrupt acknowledge path)
requires PMR not to mask interrupts that could be signaled to the
CPU when using only PSR.I.

<title>arm64: Fix interrupt tracing in the presence of NMIs</title>

commit 17ce302f3117e9518395847a3120c8a108b587b8 upstream.

In the presence of any form of instrumentation, nmi_enter() should be
done before calling any traceable code and any instrumentation code.

Currently, nmi_enter() is done in handle_domain_nmi(), which is much
too late as instrumentation code might get called before. Move the
nmi_enter/exit() calls to the arch IRQ vector handler.

On arm64, it is not possible to know if the IRQ vector handler was
called because of an NMI before acknowledging the interrupt. However, It
is possible to know whether normal interrupts could be taken in the
interrupted context (i.e. if taking an NMI in that context could
introduce a potential race condition).

When interrupting a context with IRQs disabled, call nmi_enter() as soon
as possible. In contexts with IRQs enabled, defer this to the interrupt
controller, which is in a better position to know if an interrupt taken
is an NMI.

[ Upstream commit 2af22f3ec3ca452f1e79b967f634708ff01ced8a ]

Some Qualcomm Snapdragon based laptops built to run Microsoft Windows
are clearly ACPI 5.1 based, given that that is the first ACPI revision
that supports ARM, and introduced the FADT 'arm_boot_flags' field,
which has a non-zero field on those systems.

So in these cases, infer from the ARM boot flags that the FADT must be
5.1 or later, and treat it as 5.1.

[ Upstream commit 9034f6251572a4744597c51dea5ab73a55f2b938 ]

For el0_dbg and el0_error, DAIF bits get explicitly cleared before
calling ct_user_exit.

When context tracking is disabled, DAIF gets set (almost) immediately
after. When context tracking is enabled, among the first things done
is disabling IRQs.

What is actually needed is:
- PSR.D = 0 so the system can be debugged (should be already the case)
- PSR.A = 0 so async error can be handled during context tracking

Do not clear PSR.I in those two locations.

After r363059 and r363928 in LLVM, a build using ld.lld as the linker
with CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE enabled fails like so:

ld.lld: error: relocation R_AARCH64_ABS32 cannot be used against symbol
__efistub_stext_offset; recompile with -fPIC

Fangrui and Peter figured out that ld.lld is incorrectly considering
__efistub_stext_offset as a relative symbol because of the order in
which symbols are evaluated. _text is treated as an absolute symbol
and stext is a relative symbol, making __efistub_stext_offset a
relative symbol.

Adding ABSOLUTE will force ld.lld to evalute this expression in the
right context and does not change ld.bfd's behavior. ld.lld will
need to be fixed but the developers do not see a quick or simple fix
without some research (see the linked issue for further explanation).
Add this simple workaround so that ld.lld can continue to link kernels.

ld.lld: error: relocation R_AARCH64_ABS32 cannot be used against symbol
__efistub_stext_offset; recompile with -fPIC

Fangrui and Peter figured out that ld.lld is incorrectly considering
__efistub_stext_offset as a relative symbol because of the order in
which symbols are evaluated. _text is treated as an absolute symbol
and stext is a relative symbol, making __efistub_stext_offset a
relative symbol.

Adding ABSOLUTE will force ld.lld to evalute this expression in the
right context and does not change ld.bfd's behavior. ld.lld will
need to be fixed but the developers do not see a quick or simple fix
without some research (see the linked issue for further explanation).
Add this simple workaround so that ld.lld can continue to link kernels.

<title>arm64: kaslr: keep modules inside module region when KASAN is enabled</title>

When KASLR and KASAN are both enabled, we keep the modules where they
are, and randomize the placement of the kernel so it is within 2 GB
of the module region. The reason for this is that putting modules in
the vmalloc region (like we normally do when KASLR is enabled) is not
possible in this case, given that the entire vmalloc region is already
backed by KASAN zero shadow pages, and so allocating dedicated KASAN
shadow space as required by loaded modules is not possible.

The default module allocation window is set to [_etext - 128MB, _etext]
in kaslr.c, which is appropriate for KASLR kernels booted without a
seed or with 'nokaslr' on the command line. However, as it turns out,
it is not quite correct for the KASAN case, since it still intersects
the vmalloc region at the top, where attempts to allocate shadow pages
will collide with the KASAN zero shadow pages, causing a WARN() and all
kinds of other trouble. So cap the top end to MODULES_END explicitly
when running with KASAN.

 "Another round of SPDX updates for 5.2-rc6

  Here is what I am guessing is going to be the last "big" SPDX update
  for 5.2. It contains all of the remaining GPLv2 and GPLv2+ updates
  that were "easy" to determine by pattern matching. The ones after this
  are going to be a bit more difficult and the people on the spdx list
  will be discussing them on a case-by-case basis now.

  Another 5000+ files are fixed up, so our overall totals are:
	Files checked:            64545
	Files with SPDX:          45529

  Compared to the 5.1 kernel which was:
	Files checked:            63848
	Files with SPDX:          22576

  This is a huge improvement.

  Also, we deleted another 20000 lines of boilerplate license crud,
  always nice to see in a diffstat"
