commit 6a7519e81321343165f89abb8b616df186d3e57a upstream.

"efi" global data structure contains "runtime_version" field which must
be assigned in order to use it later in Runtime Services virtual calls
(virt_efi_* functions).

Before this patch "runtime_version" was unassigned (0), so each
Runtime Service virtual call that checks revision would fail.

<title>arm64: don't call break hooks for BRK exceptions from EL0</title>

commit c878e0cff5c5e56b216951cbe75f7a3dd500a736 upstream.

Our break hooks are used to handle brk exceptions from kgdb (and potentially
kprobes if that code ever resurfaces), so don't bother calling them if
the BRK exception comes from userspace.

This prevents userspace from trapping to a kdb shell on systems where
kgdb is enabled and active.

<title>arm64: Fix barriers used for page table modifications</title>

commit 7f0b1bf04511348995d6fce38c87c98a3b5cb781 upstream.

The architecture specification states that both DSB and ISB are required
between page table modifications and subsequent memory accesses using the
corresponding virtual address. When TLB invalidation takes place, the
tlb_flush_* functions already have the necessary barriers. However, there are
other functions like create_mapping() for which this is not the case.

The patch adds the DSB+ISB instructions in the set_pte() function for
valid kernel mappings. The invalid pte case is handled by tlb_flush_*
and the user mappings in general have a corresponding update_mmu_cache()
call containing a DSB. Even when update_mmu_cache() isn't called, the
kernel can still cope with an unlikely spurious page fault by
re-executing the instruction.

In addition, the set_pmd, set_pud() functions gain an ISB for
architecture compliance when block mappings are created.

cryptsetup fails on arm64 when using kernel encryption via AF_ALG socket.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1122937

The bug is caused by incorrect handling of unaligned data in
arch/arm64/crypto/aes-glue.c. Cryptsetup creates a buffer that is aligned
on 8 bytes, but not on 16 bytes. It opens AF_ALG socket and uses the
socket to encrypt data in the buffer. The arm64 crypto accelerator causes
data corruption or crashes in the scatterwalk_pagedone.

This patch fixes the bug by passing the residue bytes that were not
processed as the last parameter to blkcipher_walk_done.

ZONE_DMA is created to allow 32-bit only devices to access memory in the
absence of an IOMMU. On systems where the memory starts above 4GB, it is
expected that some devices have a DMA offset hardwired to be able to
access the bottom of the memory. Linux currently supports DT bindings
for the DMA offsets but they are not (easily) available early during
boot.

This patch tries to guess a DMA offset and assumes that ZONE_DMA
corresponds to the 32-bit mask above the start of DRAM.

The optimistic spin code assumes regular stores and cmpxchg() play nice;
this is found to not be true for at least: parisc, sparc32, tile32,
metag-lock1, arc-!llsc and hexagon.

There is further wreckage, but this in particular seemed easy to
trigger, so blacklist this.

Opt in for known good archs.

 * Remove a duplicate copy of linux_banner from the arm64 EFI stub
   which, apart from reducing code duplication also stops the arm64 stub
   being rebuilt every time make is invoked - Ard Biesheuvel

 * Fix the EFI fdt code to not report a boot error if UEFI is
   unavailable since booting without UEFI parameters is a valid use case
   for non-UEFI platforms - Catalin Marinas

 * Include a .bss section in the EFI boot stub PE/COFF headers to fix a
   memory corruption bug - Michael Brown
