commit 7195ee3120d878259e8d94a5d9f808116f34d5ea upstream.

It's not clear what behaviour is sensible when doing partial write of
NT_METAG_RPIPE, so just don't bother.

This patch assumes that userspace will never rely on a partial SETREGSET
in this case, since it's not clear what should happen anyway.

Ensure that if userspace supplies insufficient data to PTRACE_SETREGSET
to fill TXSTATUS, a well-defined default value is used, based on the
task's current value.

commit fb411b837b587a32046dc4f369acb93a10b1def8 upstream.

gpr_set won't work correctly and can never have been tested, and the
correct behaviour is not clear due to the endianness-dependent task
layout.

So, just remove it.  The core code will now return -EOPNOTSUPPORT when
trying to set NT_PRSTATUS on this architecture until/unless a correct
implementation is supplied.

<title>xen: do not re-use pirq number cached in pci device msi msg data</title>

[ Upstream commit c74fd80f2f41d05f350bb478151021f88551afe8 ]

Revert the main part of commit:
af42b8d12f8a ("xen: fix MSI setup and teardown for PV on HVM guests")

That commit introduced reading the pci device's msi message data to see
if a pirq was previously configured for the device's msi/msix, and re-use
that pirq.  At the time, that was the correct behavior.  However, a
later change to Qemu caused it to call into the Xen hypervisor to unmap
all pirqs for a pci device, when the pci device disables its MSI/MSIX
vectors; specifically the Qemu commit:
c976437c7dba9c7444fb41df45468968aaa326ad
("qemu-xen: free all the pirqs for msi/msix when driver unload")

Once Qemu added this pirq unmapping, it was no longer correct for the
kernel to re-use the pirq number cached in the pci device msi message
data.  All Qemu releases since 2.1.0 contain the patch that unmaps the
pirqs when the pci device disables its MSI/MSIX vectors.

This bug is causing failures to initialize multiple NVMe controllers
under Xen, because the NVMe driver sets up a single MSIX vector for
each controller (concurrently), and then after using that to talk to
the controller for some configuration data, it disables the single MSIX
vector and re-configures all the MSIX vectors it needs.  So the MSIX
setup code tries to re-use the cached pirq from the first vector
for each controller, but the hypervisor has already given away that
pirq to another controller, and its initialization fails.

This is discussed in more detail at:
https://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2017-01/msg00447.html

commit dba599091c191d209b1499511a524ad9657c0e5a upstream.

After a failure during registration of the dma_table (because of the
function being in error state) we free its memory but don't reset the
associated pointer to zero.

When we then receive a notification from firmware (about the function
being in error state) we'll try to walk and free the dma_table again.

Fix this by resetting the dma_table pointer. In addition to that make
sure that we free the iommu_bitmap when appropriate.

commit 708e75a3ee750dce1072134e630d66c4e6eaf63c upstream.

If kvmppc_handle_exit_pr() calls kvmppc_emulate_instruction() to emulate
one instruction (in the BOOK3S_INTERRUPT_H_EMUL_ASSIST case), it calls
kvmppc_core_queue_program() afterwards if kvmppc_emulate_instruction()
returned EMULATE_FAIL, so the guest gets an program interrupt for the
illegal opcode.
However, the kvmppc_emulate_instruction() also tried to inject a
program exception for this already, so the program interrupt gets
injected twice and the return address in srr0 gets destroyed.
All other callers of kvmppc_emulate_instruction() are also injecting
a program interrupt, and since the callers have the right knowledge
about the srr1 flags that should be used, it is the function
kvmppc_emulate_instruction() that should _not_ inject program
interrupts, so remove the kvmppc_core_queue_program() here.

This fixes the issue discovered by Laurent Vivier with kvm-unit-tests
where the logs are filled with these messages when the test tries
to execute an illegal instruction:

     Couldn't emulate instruction 0x00000000 (op 0 xop 0)
     kvmppc_handle_exit_pr: emulation at 700 failed (00000000)

commit 3a020a723c65eb8ffa7c237faca26521a024e582 upstream.

ghash_clmulni_intel fails to load on Linux 4.3+ with the following message:
"modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'ghash_clmulni_intel': Invalid argument"

After 8996eafdc ("crypto: ahash - ensure statesize is non-zero") all ahash
drivers are required to implement import()/export(), and must have a non-
zero statesize.

This patch has been tested with the algif_hash interface. The calculated
digest values, after several rounds of import()s and export()s, match those
calculated by tcrypt.

commit 3021773c7c3e75e20b693931a19362681e744ea9 upstream.

When expanding the la or dla pseudo-instruction in a delay slot the GNU
assembler will complain should the pseudo-instruction expand to multiple
actual instructions, since only the first of them will be in the delay
slot leading to the pseudo-instruction being only partially executed if
the branch is taken. Use of PTR_LA in the dec int-handler.S leads to
such warnings:

  arch/mips/dec/int-handler.S: Assembler messages:
  arch/mips/dec/int-handler.S:149: Warning: macro instruction expanded into multiple instructions in a branch delay slot
  arch/mips/dec/int-handler.S:198: Warning: macro instruction expanded into multiple instructions in a branch delay slot

Avoid this by open coding the PTR_LA macros.
