Git commit c60a03fee0e5 ("s390: switch to {get,put}_compat_sigset()")
contains a typo and now copies the wrong pointer to user space.
Use the correct pointer instead.

<title>s390/ipl: ensure loadparm valid flag is set</title>

commit 15deb080a6087b73089139569558965750e69d67 upstream.

When loadparm is set in reipl parm block, the kernel should also set
DIAG308_FLAGS_LP_VALID flag.

This fixes loadparm ignoring during z/VM fcp -&gt; ccw reipl and kvm direct
boot -&gt; ccw reipl.

<title>x86/apic: Fix signedness bug in APIC ID validity checks</title>

<content type='text'>
commit a774635db5c430cbf21fa5d2f2df3d23aaa8e782 upstream.

The APIC ID as parsed from ACPI MADT is validity checked with the
apic-&gt;apic_id_valid() callback, which depends on the selected APIC type.

For non X2APIC types APIC IDs &gt;= 0xFF are invalid, but values &gt; 0x7FFFFFFF
are detected as valid. This happens because the 'apicid' argument of the
apic_id_valid() callback is type 'int'. So the resulting comparison

   apicid &lt; 0xFF

evaluates to true for all unsigned int values &gt; 0x7FFFFFFF which are handed
to default_apic_id_valid(). As a consequence, invalid APIC IDs in !X2APIC
mode are considered valid and accounted as possible CPUs.

Change the apicid argument type of the apic_id_valid() callback to u32 so
the evaluation is unsigned and returns the correct result.

<content type='text'>
commit 27bd59502702fe51d9eb00450a75b727ec6bfcb4 upstream.

The block address is saved after the block is initialized when
threshold_init_device() is called.

Use the saved block address, if available, rather than trying to
rediscover it.

This will avoid a call trace, when resuming from suspend, due to the
rdmsr_safe_on_cpu() call in get_block_address(). The rdmsr_safe_on_cpu()
call issues an IPI but we're running with interrupts disabled. This
triggers:

commit 19ce7909ed11c49f7eddf59e7f49cd3062bf83d5 upstream.

This crashes with a "Bad real address for load" attempting to load
from the vmalloc region in realmode (faulting address is in DAR).

I suspect the reason is the per-cpu data is not in the linear chunk.
This could be restored if that was able to be fixed, but for now,
just remove the tracepoints.

Make sure that the HPMC (High Priority Machine Check) handler is 16-byte
aligned and that it's length in the IVT is a multiple of 16 bytes.
Otherwise PDC may decide not to call the HPMC crash handler.

commit bb8c13d61a629276a162c1d2b1a20a815cbcfbb7 upstream.

Emanuel reported an issue with a hang during microcode update because my
dumb idea to use one atomic synchronization variable for both rendezvous
- before and after update - was simply bollocks:

  microcode: microcode_reload_late: late_cpus: 4
  microcode: __reload_late: cpu 2 entered
  microcode: __reload_late: cpu 1 entered
  microcode: __reload_late: cpu 3 entered
  microcode: __reload_late: cpu 0 entered
  microcode: __reload_late: cpu 1 left
  microcode: Timeout while waiting for CPUs rendezvous, remaining: 1

CPU1 above would finish, leave and the others will still spin waiting for
it to join.

So do two synchronization atomics instead, which makes the code a lot more
straightforward.

Also, since the update is serialized and it also takes quite some time per
microcode engine, increase the exit timeout by the number of CPUs on the
system.

That's ok because the moment all CPUs are done, that timeout will be cut
short.

Furthermore, panic when some of the CPUs timeout when returning from a
microcode update: we can't allow a system with not all cores updated.

Also, as an optimization, do not do the exit sync if microcode wasn't
updated.

commit 2613f36ed965d0e5a595a1d931fd3b480e82d6fd upstream.

Return UCODE_NEW from the scanning functions to denote that new microcode
was found and only then attempt the expensive synchronization dance.

commit a5321aec6412b20b5ad15db2d6b916c05349dbff upstream.

Original idea by Ashok, completely rewritten by Borislav.

Before you read any further: the early loading method is still the
preferred one and you should always do that. The following patch is
improving the late loading mechanism for long running jobs and cloud use
cases.

Gather all cores and serialize the microcode update on them by doing it
one-by-one to make the late update process as reliable as possible and
avoid potential issues caused by the microcode update.

[ Borislav: Rewrite completely. ]
