commit fb544d1ca65a89f7a3895f7531221ceeed74ada7 upstream.

We recently addressed a VMID generation race by introducing a read/write
lock around accesses and updates to the vmid generation values.

However, kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() also calls need_new_vmid_gen() but
does so without taking the read lock.

As far as I can tell, this can lead to the same kind of race:

  VM 0, VCPU 0			VM 0, VCPU 1
  ------------			------------
  update_vttbr (vmid 254)
  				update_vttbr (vmid 1) // roll over
				read_lock(kvm_vmid_lock);
				force_vm_exit()
  local_irq_disable
  need_new_vmid_gen == false //because vmid gen matches

  enter_guest (vmid 254)
  				kvm_arch.vttbr = &lt;PGD&gt;:&lt;VMID 1&gt;
				read_unlock(kvm_vmid_lock);

  				enter_guest (vmid 1)

Which results in running two VCPUs in the same VM with different VMIDs
and (even worse) other VCPUs from other VMs could now allocate clashing
VMID 254 from the new generation as long as VCPU 0 is not exiting.

Attempt to solve this by making sure vttbr is updated before another CPU
can observe the updated VMID generation.

<title>KVM: Protect device ops-&gt;create and list_add with kvm-&gt;lock</title>

commit a28ebea2adc4a2bef5989a5a181ec238f59fbcad upstream.

KVM devices were manipulating list data structures without any form of
synchronization, and some implementations of the create operations also
suffered from a lack of synchronization.

Now when we've split the xics create operation into create and init, we
can hold the kvm-&gt;lock mutex while calling the create operation and when
manipulating the devices list.

The error path in the generic code gets slightly ugly because we have to
take the mutex again and delete the device from the list, but holding
the mutex during anon_inode_getfd or releasing/locking the mutex in the
common non-error path seemed wrong.

commit 76f4e2c3b6a560cdd7a75b87df543e04d05a9e5f upstream.

cpu_is_mmp2() was equivalent to cpu_is_pj4(), wouldn't be correct for
multiplatform kernels. Fix it by also considering mmp_chip_id, as is
done for cpu_is_pxa168() and cpu_is_pxa910() above.

Moreover, it is only available with CONFIG_CPU_MMP2 and thus doesn't work
on DT-based MMP2 machines. Enable it on CONFIG_MACH_MMP2_DT too.

Note: CONFIG_CPU_MMP2 is only used for machines that use board files
instead of DT. It should perhaps be renamed. I'm not doing it now, because
I don't have a better idea.

commit cec83ff1241ec98113a19385ea9e9cfa9aa4125b upstream.

While playing with initialization order of modem device, it has been
discovered that under some circumstances (early console init, I
believe) its .pm() callback may be called before the
uart_port-&gt;private_data pointer is initialized from
plat_serial8250_port-&gt;private_data, resulting in NULL pointer
dereference.  Fix it by checking for uninitialized pointer before using
it in modem_pm().

Building kernels before linux-4.7 with gcc-8 results in many build failures
when gcc triggers a check that was meant to catch broken compilers:

/tmp/ccCGMQmS.s:648: Error: .err encountered

According to the discussion in the gcc bugzilla, a local "register
asm()" variable is still supposed to be the correct way to force an
inline assembly to use a particular register, but marking it 'const'
lets the compiler do optimizations that break that, i.e the compiler is
free to treat the variable as either 'const' or 'register' in that case.

Upstream commit 9f73bd8bb445 ("ARM: uaccess: remove put_user() code
duplication") fixed this problem in linux-4.8 as part of a larger change,
but seems a little too big to be backported to 4.4.

Let's take the simplest fix and change only the one broken line in the
same way as newer kernels.

commit 3a58ac65e2d7969bcdf1b6acb70fa4d12a88e53e upstream.

IO_SPACE_LIMIT is the ending address of the PCI IO space, i.e
something like 0xfffff (and not 0x100000).

Therefore, when offset = 0xf0000 is passed as argument, this function
fails even though the offset + SZ_64K fits below the
IO_SPACE_LIMIT. This makes the last chunk of 64 KB of the I/O space
not usable as it cannot be mapped.

This patch fixes that by substracing 1 to offset + SZ_64K, so that we
compare the addrss of the last byte of the I/O space against
IO_SPACE_LIMIT instead of the address of the first byte of what is
after the I/O space.

commit 976d34e2dab10ece5ea8fe7090b7692913f89084 upstream.

When there is contention on faulting in a particular page table entry
at stage 2, the break-before-make requirement of the architecture can
lead to additional refaulting due to TLB invalidation.

Avoid this by skipping a page table update if the new value of the PTE
matches the previous value.

commit 86658b819cd0a9aa584cd84453ed268a6f013770 upstream.

Contention on updating a PMD entry by a large number of vcpus can lead
to duplicate work when handling stage 2 page faults. As the page table
update follows the break-before-make requirement of the architecture,
it can lead to repeated refaults due to clearing the entry and
flushing the tlbs.

This problem is more likely when -

* there are large number of vcpus
* the mapping is large block mapping

such as when using PMD hugepages (512MB) with 64k pages.

Fix this by skipping the page table update if there is no change in
the entry being updated.

Fixes: ad361f093c1e ("KVM: ARM: Support hugetlbfs backed huge pages")

commit d396cb185c0337aae5664b250cdd9a73f6eb1503 upstream.

Relying on an unchecked of_iomap() which can return NULL is problematic
here, an explicit check seems mandatory. Also the call to
of_find_compatible_node() returns a device node with refcount incremented
therefor an explicit of_node_put() is needed here.
