[ Upstream commit 0dad3a3014a0b9e72521ff44f17e0054f43dcdea ]

If mce_device_init() fails then the mce device pointer is NULL and the
AMD mce code happily dereferences it.

Add a sanity check.

<title>x86/mce/AMD: Give a name to MCA bank 3 when accessed with legacy MSRs</title>

commit 29f72ce3e4d18066ec75c79c857bee0618a3504b upstream.

MCA bank 3 is reserved on systems pre-Fam17h, so it didn't have a name.
However, MCA bank 3 is defined on Fam17h systems and can be accessed
using legacy MSRs. Without a name we get a stack trace on Fam17h systems
when trying to register sysfs files for bank 3 on kernels that don't
recognize Scalable MCA.

Call MCA bank 3 "decode_unit" since this is what it represents on
Fam17h. This will allow kernels without SMCA support to see this bank on
Fam17h+ and prevent the stack trace. This will not affect older systems
since this bank is reserved on them, i.e. it'll be ignored.

Tested on AMD Fam15h and Fam17h systems.

[ Upstream commit 581b7f158fe0383b492acd1ce3fb4e99d4e57808 ]

There appears to be no formal statement of what pv_irq_ops.save_fl() is
supposed to return precisely.  Native returns the full flags, while lguest and
Xen only return the Interrupt Flag, and both have comments by the
implementations stating that only the Interrupt Flag is looked at.  This may
have been true when initially implemented, but no longer is.

To make matters worse, the Xen PVOP leaves the upper bits undefined, making
the BUG_ON() undefined behaviour.  Experimentally, this now trips for 32bit PV
guests on Broadwell hardware.  The BUG_ON() is consistent for an individual
build, but not consistent for all builds.  It has also been a sitting timebomb
since SMAP support was introduced.

Use native_save_fl() instead, which will obtain an accurate view of the AC
flag.

[ Upstream commit d1992996753132e2dafe955cccb2fb0714d3cfc4 ]

AMD F12h machines have an erratum which can cause DIV/IDIV to behave
unpredictably. The workaround is to set MSRC001_1029[31] but sometimes
there is no BIOS update containing that workaround so let's do it
ourselves unconditionally. It is simple enough.

[ Upstream commit 5b2bdbc84556774afbe11bcfd24c2f6411cfa92b ]

Commit:

   1e02ce4cccdc ("x86: Store a per-cpu shadow copy of CR4")

added a shadow CR4 such that reads and writes that do not
modify the CR4 execute much faster than always reading the
register itself.

The change modified cpu_init() in common.c, so that the
shadow CR4 gets initialized before anything uses it.

Unfortunately, there's two cpu_init()s in common.c. There's
one for 64-bit and one for 32-bit. The commit only added
the shadow init to the 64-bit path, but the 32-bit path
needs the init too.

[ Upstream commit 37868fe113ff2ba814b3b4eb12df214df555f8dc ]

modify_ldt() has questionable locking and does not synchronize
threads.  Improve it: redesign the locking and synchronize all
threads' LDTs using an IPI on all modifications.

This will dramatically slow down modify_ldt in multithreaded
programs, but there shouldn't be any multithreaded programs that
care about modify_ldt's performance in the first place.

This fixes some fallout from the CVE-2015-5157 fixes.

[ Upstream commit 2c33645d366d13b969d936b68b9f4875b1fdddea ]

Architectural performance monitoring, version 1, doesn't support fixed counters.

Currently, even if a hypervisor advertises support for architectural
performance monitoring version 1, perf may still try to use the fixed
counters, as the constraints are set up based on the CPU model.

This patch ensures that perf honors the architectural performance monitoring
version returned by CPUID, and it only uses the fixed counters for version 2
and above.

(Some of the ideas in this patch came from Peter Zijlstra.)

[ Upstream commit f84598bd7c851f8b0bf8cd0d7c3be0d73c432ff4 ]

mc_saved_tmp is a static array allocated on the stack, we need to make
sure mc_saved_count stays within its bounds, otherwise we're overflowing
the stack in _save_mc(). A specially crafted microcode header could lead
to a kernel crash or potentially kernel execution.
