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).

<title>x86/headers/uapi: Fix __BITS_PER_LONG value for x32 builds</title>

On x32, gcc predefines __x86_64__ but long is only 32-bit.  Use
__ILP32__ to distinguish x32.

Fixes this compiler error in perf:

	tools/include/asm-generic/bitops/__ffs.h: In function '__ffs':
	tools/include/asm-generic/bitops/__ffs.h:19:8: error: right shift count &gt;= width of type [-Werror=shift-count-overflow]
	  word &gt;&gt;= 32;
	       ^

This isn't sufficient to build perf for x32, though.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "This update has successfully completed a 0day-kbuild run and has
  appeared in a linux-next release.  The changes outside of the typical
  drivers/nvdimm/ and drivers/acpi/nfit.[ch] paths are related to the
  removal of IORESOURCE_CACHEABLE, the introduction of memremap(), and
  the introduction of ZONE_DEVICE + devm_memremap_pages().

  Summary:

   - Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic
     mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the
     kernel's direct map.

     This facility is used by the pmem driver to enable pfn_to_page()
     operations on the page frames returned by DAX ('direct_access' in
     'struct block_device_operations').

     For now, the 'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes
     from "System RAM".  Support for allocating the memmap from device
     memory will arrive in a later kernel.

   - Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and
     ioremap_wt().  memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these
     mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects.  The
     replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the
     pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3.

     Completion of the conversion is targeted for v4.4.

   - Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem
     driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide
     persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping.

   - Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as
     cacheable to improve performance.

   - Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support for
     issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal
     'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the
     ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor
     fixes"

* tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: (34 commits)

Pull char/misc driver patches from Greg KH:
 "Here's the "big" char/misc driver update for 4.3-rc1.

  Not much really interesting here, just a number of little changes all
  over the place, and some nice consolidation of the nvmem drivers to a
  common framework.  As usual, the mei drivers stand out as the largest
  "churn" to handle new devices and features in their hardware.

  All have been in linux-next for a while with no issues"

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "A very small release for x86 and s390 KVM.

   - s390: timekeeping changes, cleanups and fixes

   - x86: support for Hyper-V MSRs to report crashes, and a bunch of
     cleanups.

  One interesting feature that was planned for 4.3 (emulating the local
  APIC in kernel while keeping the IOAPIC and 8254 in userspace) had to
  be delayed because Intel complained about my reading of the manual"

<title>libnvdimm, e820: make CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY a tristate option</title>

<id>7a67832c7e44c20935c5d6f2264035a0f7bf0d8f</id>
<content type='text'>
We currently register a platform device for e820 type-12 memory and
register a nvdimm bus beneath it.  Registering the platform device
triggers the device-core machinery to probe for a driver, but that
search currently comes up empty.  Building the nvdimm-bus registration
into the e820_pmem platform device registration in this way forces
libnvdimm to be built-in.  Instead, convert the built-in portion of
CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY to simply register a platform device and move the
rest of the logic to the driver for e820_pmem, for the following
reasons:

1/ Letting e820_pmem support be a module allows building and testing
   libnvdimm.ko changes without rebooting

2/ All the normal policy around modules can be applied to e820_pmem
   (unbind to disable and/or blacklisting the module from loading by
   default)

3/ Moving the driver to a generic location and converting it to scan
   "iomem_resource" rather than "e820.map" means any other architecture can
   take advantage of this simple nvdimm resource discovery mechanism by
   registering a resource named "Persistent Memory (legacy)"
