[ Upstream commit f96b4675839b66168f5a07bf964dde6c2f1c4885 ]

Use get_unaligned() instead of memcpy() to access potentially unaligned
memory, which, when accessed through a pointer, leads to undefined
behavior. get_unaligned() describes much better what is happening there
anyway even if memcpy() does the job.

In addition, since perf tool builds with -Werror, it would fire with:

  util/intel-pt-decoder/../../../arch/x86/lib/insn.c: In function '__insn_get_emulate_prefix':
  tools/include/../include/asm-generic/unaligned.h:10:15: error: packed attribute is unnecessary [-Werror=packed]
     10 |  const struct { type x; } __packed *__pptr = (typeof(__pptr))(ptr); \

because -Werror=packed would complain if the packed attribute would have
no effect on the layout of the structure.

In this case, that is intentional so disable the warning only for that
compilation unit.

That part is Reported-by: Stephen Rothwell &lt;sfr@canb.auug.org.au&gt;

No functional changes.

<title>x86/iopl: Fake iopl(3) CLI/STI usage</title>

commit b968e84b509da593c50dc3db679e1d33de701f78 upstream.

Since commit c8137ace5638 ("x86/iopl: Restrict iopl() permission
scope") it's possible to emulate iopl(3) using ioperm(), except for
the CLI/STI usage.

Userspace CLI/STI usage is very dubious (read broken), since any
exception taken during that window can lead to rescheduling anyway (or
worse). The IOPL(2) manpage even states that usage of CLI/STI is highly
discouraged and might even crash the system.

Of course, that won't stop people and HP has the dubious honour of
being the first vendor to be found using this in their hp-health
package.

In order to enable this 'software' to still 'work', have the #GP treat
the CLI/STI instructions as NOPs when iopl(3). Warn the user that
their program is doing dubious things.

[ Upstream commit 5ba1071f7554c4027bdbd712a146111de57918de ]

Don't perform unaligned loads in __get_next() and __peek_nbyte_next() as
these are forms of undefined behavior:

"A pointer to an object or incomplete type may be converted to a pointer
to a different object or incomplete type. If the resulting pointer
is not correctly aligned for the pointed-to type, the behavior is
undefined."

(from http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1256.pdf)

These problems were identified using the undefined behavior sanitizer
(ubsan) with the tools version of the code and perf test.

 - Disable interrupts while the per-CPU GHCB is held

 - Split the #VC handler depending on where the #VC exception has

Because the __x86_indirect_alt* symbols are just that, objtool will
try and validate them as regular symbols, instead of the alternative
replacements that they are.

This goes sideways for FRAME_POINTER=y builds; which generate a fair
amount of warnings.

The error reporting from the insn_fetch_from_user*() functions is not
very verbose. Extend it to include information on whether the linear
RIP could not be calculated or whether the memory access faulted.

This will be used in the SEV-ES code to propagate the correct
exception depending on what went wrong during instruction fetch.

Pull x86 updates from Borislav Petkov:

 - Turn the stack canary into a normal __percpu variable on 32-bit which
   gets rid of the LAZY_GS stuff and a lot of code.

 - Add an insn_decode() API which all users of the instruction decoder
   should preferrably use. Its goal is to keep the details of the
   instruction decoder away from its users and simplify and streamline
   how one decodes insns in the kernel. Convert its users to it.

 - kprobes improvements and fixes

 - Set the maximum DIE per package variable on Hygon

 - Rip out the dynamic NOP selection and simplify all the machinery
   around selecting NOPs. Use the simplified NOPs in objtool now too.

 - Add Xeon Sapphire Rapids to list of CPUs that support PPIN

 - Simplify the retpolines by folding the entire thing into an
   alternative now that objtool can handle alternatives with stack ops.
   Then, have objtool rewrite the call to the retpoline with the
   alternative which then will get patched at boot time.

 - Document Intel uarch per models in intel-family.h

 - Make Sub-NUMA Clustering topology the default and Cluster-on-Die the
   exception on Intel.

Pull x86 alternatives/paravirt updates from Borislav Petkov:
 "First big cleanup to the paravirt infra to use alternatives and thus
  eliminate custom code patching.

  For that, the alternatives infrastructure is extended to accomodate
  paravirt's needs and, as a result, a lot of paravirt patching code
  goes away, leading to a sizeable cleanup and simplification.

  Work by Juergen Gross"
