[ Upstream commit b2473a359763e27567993e7d8f37de82f57a0829 ]

 __pa() is only intended to be used for linear map addresses and using
it for initial_boot_params which is in fixmap for arm64 will give an
incorrect value. Hence save the physical address when it is known at
boot time when calling early_init_dt_scan for arm64 and use it at kexec
time instead of converting the virtual address using __pa().

Note that arm64 doesn't need the FDT region reserved in the DT as the
kernel explicitly reserves the passed in FDT. Therefore, only a debug
warning is fixed with this change.

[ Upstream commit da09935975c8f8c90d6f57be2422dee5557206cd ]

When MIPS_FP_SUPPORT is disabled, __sanitize_fcr31() is defined as
nothing, which triggers a gcc warning:

    In file included from kernel/sched/core.c:79:
    kernel/sched/core.c: In function 'context_switch':
    ./arch/mips/include/asm/switch_to.h:114:39: warning: suggest braces around empty body in an 'if' statement [-Wempty-body]
      114 |                 __sanitize_fcr31(next);                                 \

     5316 |         switch_to(prev, next, prev);
          |         ^~~~~~~~~

Fix this by providing an empty body for __sanitize_fcr31() like one is
defined for __mips_mt_fpaff_switch_to().

Fixes boot failures on 6.9 on PPC_BOOK3S_32 machines using Open Firmware. 
On these machines, the kernel refuses to boot from non-zero
PHYSICAL_START, which occurs when CRASH_DUMP is on.

Since most PPC_BOOK3S_32 machines boot via Open Firmware, it should
default to off for them.  Users booting via some other mechanism can still
turn it on explicitly.

Does not change the default on any other architectures for the
time being.

Commit ca459e5f826f ("crypto: mips/crc32 - Clean up useless assignment
operations") changed crc32c_mips_le_hw() to use the instructions that
use the "regular" CRC32 polynomial instead of the Castagnoli polynomial.
Therefore it can't be computing CRC32C values correctly anymore.

I haven't been successful in running a MIPS kernel in QEMU, but based on
code review this is the fix that is needed.

might as well move that thing to linux/unaligned.h and include
that - there's nothing arch-specific in that header.

asm/unaligned.h is always an include of asm-generic/unaligned.h;
might as well move that thing to linux/unaligned.h and include
that - there's nothing arch-specific in that header.

Pull x86 kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "x86:

   - KVM currently invalidates the entirety of the page tables, not just
     those for the memslot being touched, when a memslot is moved or
     deleted.

     This does not traditionally have particularly noticeable overhead,
     but Intel's TDX will require the guest to re-accept private pages
     if they are dropped from the secure EPT, which is a non starter.

     Actually, the only reason why this is not already being done is a
     bug which was never fully investigated and caused VM instability
     with assigned GeForce GPUs, so allow userspace to opt into the new
     behavior.

   - Advertise AVX10.1 to userspace (effectively prep work for the
     "real" AVX10 functionality that is on the horizon)

   - Rework common MSR handling code to suppress errors on userspace
     accesses to unsupported-but-advertised MSRs

     This will allow removing (almost?) all of KVM's exemptions for
     userspace access to MSRs that shouldn't exist based on the vCPU
     model (the actual cleanup is non-trivial future work)

   - Rework KVM's handling of x2APIC ICR, again, because AMD (x2AVIC)
     splits the 64-bit value into the legacy ICR and ICR2 storage,
     whereas Intel (APICv) stores the entire 64-bit value at the ICR
     offset

   - Fix a bug where KVM would fail to exit to userspace if one was
     triggered by a fastpath exit handler

   - Add fastpath handling of HLT VM-Exit to expedite re-entering the
     guest when there's already a pending wake event at the time of the
     exit

   - Fix a WARN caused by RSM entering a nested guest from SMM with
     invalid guest state, by forcing the vCPU out of guest mode prior to
     signalling SHUTDOWN (the SHUTDOWN hits the VM altogether, not the
     nested guest)

   - Overhaul the "unprotect and retry" logic to more precisely identify
     cases where retrying is actually helpful, and to harden all retry
     paths against putting the guest into an infinite retry loop

   - Add support for yielding, e.g. to honor NEED_RESCHED, when zapping
     rmaps in the shadow MMU

   - Refactor pieces of the shadow MMU related to aging SPTEs in
     prepartion for adding multi generation LRU support in KVM

   - Don't stuff the RSB after VM-Exit when RETPOLINE=y and AutoIBRS is
     enabled, i.e. when the CPU has already flushed the RSB

   - Trace the per-CPU host save area as a VMCB pointer to improve
     readability and cleanup the retrieval of the SEV-ES host save area

   - Remove unnecessary accounting of temporary nested VMCB related
     allocations

   - Set FINAL/PAGE in the page fault error code for EPT violations if
     and only if the GVA is valid. If the GVA is NOT valid, there is no
     guest-side page table walk and so stuffing paging related metadata
     is nonsensical

   - Fix a bug where KVM would incorrectly synthesize a nested VM-Exit
     instead of emulating posted interrupt delivery to L2

   - Add a lockdep assertion to detect unsafe accesses of vmcs12
     structures

   - Harden eVMCS loading against an impossible NULL pointer deref
     (really truly should be impossible)

   - Minor SGX fix and a cleanup

   - Misc cleanups

  Generic:

   - Register KVM's cpuhp and syscore callbacks when enabling
     virtualization in hardware, as the sole purpose of said callbacks
     is to disable and re-enable virtualization as needed

   - Enable virtualization when KVM is loaded, not right before the
     first VM is created

     Together with the previous change, this simplifies a lot the logic
     of the callbacks, because their very existence implies
     virtualization is enabled

   - Fix a bug that results in KVM prematurely exiting to userspace for
     coalesced MMIO/PIO in many cases, clean up the related code, and
     add a testcase

   - Fix a bug in kvm_clear_guest() where it would trigger a buffer
     overflow _if_ the gpa+len crosses a page boundary, which thankfully
     is guaranteed to not happen in the current code base. Add WARNs in
     more helpers that read/write guest memory to detect similar bugs

  Selftests:

   - Fix a goof that caused some Hyper-V tests to be skipped when run on
     bare metal, i.e. NOT in a VM

   - Add a regression test for KVM's handling of SHUTDOWN for an SEV-ES
     guest

   - Explicitly include one-off assets in .gitignore. Past Sean was
     completely wrong about not being able to detect missing .gitignore
     entries

   - Verify userspace single-stepping works when KVM happens to handle a
     VM-Exit in its fastpath

   - Misc cleanups"
