commit 20f06ed9f61a185c6dabd662c310bed6189470df upstream.

MIPS64 needs to use compat_sys_keyctl for 32-bit userspace rather than
calling sys_keyctl.  The latter will work in a lot of cases, thereby hiding
the issue.

commit 7de249964f5578e67b99699c5f0b405738d820a2 upstream.

Add access checks to sys_oabi_epoll_wait() and sys_oabi_semtimedop().
This fixes CVE-2016-3857, a local privilege escalation under
CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT.

commit 4eaffdd5a5fe6ff9f95e1ab4de1ac904d5e0fa8b upstream.

My previous comments were still a bit confusing and there was a
typo. Fix it up.

commit 71b3c126e61177eb693423f2e18a1914205b165e upstream.

When switch_mm() activates a new PGD, it also sets a bit that
tells other CPUs that the PGD is in use so that TLB flush IPIs
will be sent.  In order for that to work correctly, the bit
needs to be visible prior to loading the PGD and therefore
starting to fill the local TLB.

Document all the barriers that make this work correctly and add
a couple that were missing.

commit a6416f57ce57fb390b6ee30b12c01c29032a26af upstream.

ARCompact and ARCv2 only have ASL, while binutils used to support LSL as
a alias mnemonic.

Newer binutils (upstream) don't want to do that so replace it.

<title>arc: unwind: warn only once if DW2_UNWIND is disabled</title>

commit 9bd54517ee86cb164c734f72ea95aeba4804f10b upstream.

If CONFIG_ARC_DW2_UNWIND is disabled every time arc_unwind_core()
gets called following message gets printed in debug console:
-----------------&gt;8---------------
CONFIG_ARC_DW2_UNWIND needs to be enabled
-----------------&gt;8---------------

That message makes sense if user indeed wants to see a backtrace or
get nice function call-graphs in perf but what if user disabled
unwinder for the purpose? Why pollute his debug console?

So instead we'll warn user about possibly missing feature once and
let him decide if that was what he or she really wanted.

commit dc295880c6752076f8b94ba3885d0bfff09e3e82 upstream.

The syscall_set_return_value function of s390 negates the error argument
before storing the value to the return register gpr2. This is incorrect,
the seccomp code already passes the negative error value.
Store the unmodified error value to gpr2.

commit 6d6f2833bfbf296101f9f085e10488aef2601ba5 upstream.

Jim reported:

	UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in arch/x86/events/intel/core.c:3708:12
	shift exponent 35 is too large for 32-bit type 'long unsigned int'

The use of 'unsigned long' type obviously is not correct here, make it
'unsigned long long' instead.

commit 2c33645d366d13b969d936b68b9f4875b1fdddea upstream.

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.)

<title>MIPS: KVM: Fix modular KVM under QEMU</title>

commit 797179bc4fe06c89e47a9f36f886f68640b423f8 upstream.

Copy __kvm_mips_vcpu_run() into unmapped memory, so that we can never
get a TLB refill exception in it when KVM is built as a module.

This was observed to happen with the host MIPS kernel running under
QEMU, due to a not entirely transparent optimisation in the QEMU TLB
handling where TLB entries replaced with TLBWR are copied to a separate
part of the TLB array. Code in those pages continue to be executable,
but those mappings persist only until the next ASID switch, even if they
are marked global.

An ASID switch happens in __kvm_mips_vcpu_run() at exception level after
switching to the guest exception base. Subsequent TLB mapped kernel
instructions just prior to switching to the guest trigger a TLB refill
exception, which enters the guest exception handlers without updating
EPC. This appears as a guest triggered TLB refill on a host kernel
mapped (host KSeg2) address, which is not handled correctly as user
(guest) mode accesses to kernel (host) segments always generate address
error exceptions.
