[ Upstream commit 9c6a73c75864ad9fa49e5fa6513e4c4071c0e29f ]

With LFENCE now a serializing instruction, use LFENCE_RDTSC in preference
to MFENCE_RDTSC.  However, since the kernel could be running under a
hypervisor that does not support writing that MSR, read the MSR back and
verify that the bit has been set successfully.  If the MSR can be read
and the bit is set, then set the LFENCE_RDTSC feature, otherwise set the
MFENCE_RDTSC feature.

[ Upstream commit e4d0e84e490790798691aaa0f2e598637f1867ec ]

To aid in speculation control, make LFENCE a serializing instruction
since it has less overhead than MFENCE.  This is done by setting bit 1
of MSR 0xc0011029 (DE_CFG).  Some families that support LFENCE do not
have this MSR.  For these families, the LFENCE instruction is already
serializing.

<title>KVM: x86: work around infinite loop in microcode when #AC is delivered</title>

commit 54a20552e1eae07aa240fa370a0293e006b5faed upstream.

It was found that a guest can DoS a host by triggering an infinite
stream of "alignment check" (#AC) exceptions.  This causes the
microcode to enter an infinite loop where the core never receives
another interrupt.  The host kernel panics pretty quickly due to the
effects (CVE-2015-5307).

commit ed596cde9425509ec6ce88e19f03e9b13b6f518b upstream.

This reverts commits 9a036b93a344 ("x86/signal/64: Remove 'fs' and 'gs'
from sigcontext") and c6f2062935c8 ("x86/signal/64: Fix SS handling for
signals delivered to 64-bit programs").

They were cleanups, but they break dosemu by changing the signal return
behavior (and removing 'fs' and 'gs' from the sigcontext struct - while
not actually changing any behavior - causes build problems).

Changes mainly to account for minor differences in Knights Landing(KNL):
1. KNL supports C1 and C6 core states.
2. KNL supports PC2, PC3 and PC6 package states.
3. KNL has a different encoding of the TURBO_RATIO_LIMIT MSR

Skylake adds some additional residency counters.

Skylake supports a different mix of RAPL registers
from any previous product.

In most other ways, Skylake is like Broadwell.

Pull PMEM driver from Ingo Molnar:
 "This is the initial support for the pmem block device driver:
  persistent non-volatile memory space mapped into the system's physical
  memory space as large physical memory regions.

  The driver is based on Intel code, written by Ross Zwisler, with fixes
  by Boaz Harrosh, integrated with x86 e820 memory resource management
  and tidied up by Christoph Hellwig.

  Note that there were two other separate pmem driver submissions to
  lkml: but apparently all parties (Ross Zwisler, Boaz Harrosh) are
  reasonably happy with this initial version.

  This version enables minimal support that enables persistent memory
  devices out in the wild to work as block devices, identified through a
  magic (non-standard) e820 flag and auto-discovered if
  CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY=y, or added explicitly through manipulating the
  memory maps via the "memmap=..." boot option with the new, special '!'
  modifier character.

  Limitations: this is a regular block device, and since the pmem areas
  are not struct page backed, they are invisible to the rest of the
  system (other than the block IO device), so direct IO to/from pmem
  areas, direct mmap() or XIP is not possible yet.  The page cache will
  also shadow and double buffer pmem contents, etc.

  Initial support is for x86"
