Pull x86 core updates from Borislav Petkov:

 - Add the call depth tracking mitigation for Retbleed which has been
   long in the making. It is a lighterweight software-only fix for
   Skylake-based cores where enabling IBRS is a big hammer and causes a
   significant performance impact.

   What it basically does is, it aligns all kernel functions to 16 bytes
   boundary and adds a 16-byte padding before the function, objtool
   collects all functions' locations and when the mitigation gets
   applied, it patches a call accounting thunk which is used to track
   the call depth of the stack at any time.

   When that call depth reaches a magical, microarchitecture-specific
   value for the Return Stack Buffer, the code stuffs that RSB and
   avoids its underflow which could otherwise lead to the Intel variant
   of Retbleed.

   This software-only solution brings a lot of the lost performance
   back, as benchmarks suggest:

       https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220915111039.092790446@infradead.org/

   That page above also contains a lot more detailed explanation of the
   whole mechanism

 - Implement a new control flow integrity scheme called FineIBT which is
   based on the software kCFI implementation and uses hardware IBT
   support where present to annotate and track indirect branches using a
   hash to validate them

 - Other misc fixes and cleanups

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:

 - Replace prandom_u32_max() and various open-coded variants of it,
   there is now a new family of functions that uses fast rejection
   sampling to choose properly uniformly random numbers within an
   interval:

       get_random_u32_below(ceil) - [0, ceil)
       get_random_u32_above(floor) - (floor, U32_MAX]
       get_random_u32_inclusive(floor, ceil) - [floor, ceil]

   Coccinelle was used to convert all current users of
   prandom_u32_max(), as well as many open-coded patterns, resulting in
   improvements throughout the tree.

   I'll have a "late" 6.1-rc1 pull for you that removes the now unused
   prandom_u32_max() function, just in case any other trees add a new
   use case of it that needs to converted. According to linux-next,
   there may be two trivial cases of prandom_u32_max() reintroductions
   that are fixable with a 's/.../.../'. So I'll have for you a final
   conversion patch doing that alongside the removal patch during the
   second week.

   This is a treewide change that touches many files throughout.

 - More consistent use of get_random_canary().

 - Updates to comments, documentation, tests, headers, and
   simplification in configuration.

 - The arch_get_random*_early() abstraction was only used by arm64 and
   wasn't entirely useful, so this has been replaced by code that works
   in all relevant contexts.

 - The kernel will use and manage random seeds in non-volatile EFI
   variables, refreshing a variable with a fresh seed when the RNG is
   initialized. The RNG GUID namespace is then hidden from efivarfs to
   prevent accidental leakage.

   These changes are split into random.c infrastructure code used in the
   EFI subsystem, in this pull request, and related support inside of
   EFISTUB, in Ard's EFI tree. These are co-dependent for full
   functionality, but the order of merging doesn't matter.

 - Part of the infrastructure added for the EFI support is also used for
   an improvement to the way vsprintf initializes its siphash key,
   replacing an sleep loop wart.

 - The hardware RNG framework now always calls its correct random.c
   input function, add_hwgenerator_randomness(), rather than sometimes
   going through helpers better suited for other cases.

 - The add_latent_entropy() function has long been called from the fork
   handler, but is a no-op when the latent entropy gcc plugin isn't
   used, which is fine for the purposes of latent entropy.

   But it was missing out on the cycle counter that was also being mixed
   in beside the latent entropy variable. So now, if the latent entropy
   gcc plugin isn't enabled, add_latent_entropy() will expand to a call
   to add_device_randomness(NULL, 0), which adds a cycle counter,
   without the absent latent entropy variable.

 - The RNG is now reseeded from a delayed worker, rather than on demand
   when used. Always running from a worker allows it to make use of the
   CPU RNG on platforms like S390x, whose instructions are too slow to
   do so from interrupts. It also has the effect of adding in new inputs
   more frequently with more regularity, amounting to a long term
   transcript of random values. Plus, it helps a bit with the upcoming
   vDSO implementation (which isn't yet ready for 6.2).

 - The jitter entropy algorithm now tries to execute on many different
   CPUs, round-robining, in hopes of hitting even more memory latencies
   and other unpredictable effects. It also will mix in a cycle counter
   when the entropy timer fires, in addition to being mixed in from the
   main loop, to account more explicitly for fluctuations in that timer
   firing. And the state it touches is now kept within the same cache
   line, so that it's assured that the different execution contexts will
   cause latencies.

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Updates for timers, timekeeping and drivers:

  Core:

   - The timer_shutdown[_sync]() infrastructure:

     Tearing down timers can be tedious when there are circular
     dependencies to other things which need to be torn down. A prime
     example is timer and workqueue where the timer schedules work and
     the work arms the timer.

     What needs to prevented is that pending work which is drained via
     destroy_workqueue() does not rearm the previously shutdown timer.
     Nothing in that shutdown sequence relies on the timer being
     functional.

     The conclusion was that the semantics of timer_shutdown_sync()
     should be:
	- timer is not enqueued
    	- timer callback is not running
    	- timer cannot be rearmed

     Preventing the rearming of shutdown timers is done by discarding
     rearm attempts silently.

     A warning for the case that a rearm attempt of a shutdown timer is
     detected would not be really helpful because it's entirely unclear
     how it should be acted upon. The only way to address such a case is
     to add 'if (in_shutdown)' conditionals all over the place. This is
     error prone and in most cases of teardown not required all.

   - The real fix for the bluetooth HCI teardown based on
     timer_shutdown_sync().

     A larger scale conversion to timer_shutdown_sync() is work in
     progress.

   - Consolidation of VDSO time namespace helper functions

   - Small fixes for timer and timerqueue

  Drivers:

   - Prevent integer overflow on the XGene-1 TVAL register which causes
     an never ending interrupt storm.

   - The usual set of new device tree bindings

   - Small fixes and improvements all over the place"

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Three small x86 fixes which did not make it into 6.1:

   - Remove a superfluous noinline which prevents GCC-7.3 to optimize a
     stub function away

   - Allow uprobes on REP NOP and do not treat them like word-sized
     branch instructions

   - Make the VDSO symbol export of __vdso_sgx_enter_enclave() depend on
     CONFIG_X86_SGX to prevent build failures with newer LLVM versions
     which rightfully detect that there is no function behind the
     symbol"

Recently, ld.lld moved from '--undefined-version' to
'--no-undefined-version' as the default, which breaks building the vDSO
when CONFIG_X86_SGX is not set:

  ld.lld: error: version script assignment of 'LINUX_2.6' to symbol '__vdso_sgx_enter_enclave' failed: symbol not defined

__vdso_sgx_enter_enclave is only included in the vDSO when
CONFIG_X86_SGX is set. Only export it if it will be present in the final
object, which clears up the error.

<title>vdso/timens: Refactor copy-pasted find_timens_vvar_page() helper into one copy</title>

find_timens_vvar_page() is not architecture-specific, as can be seen from
how all five per-architecture versions of it are the same.

(arm64, powerpc and riscv are exactly the same; x86 and s390 have two
characters difference inside a comment, less blank lines, and mark the
!CONFIG_TIME_NS version as inline.)

Refactor the five copies into a central copy in kernel/time/namespace.c.

<title>clocksource: hyper-v: Use TSC PFN getter to map vvar page</title>

<content type='text'>
Instead of converting the virtual address to physical directly.

This is a precursor patch for the upcoming support for TSC page mapping into
Microsoft Hypervisor root partition, where TSC PFN will be defined by the
hypervisor and thus can't be obtained by linear translation of the physical
address.
