commit 02e425668f5c9deb42787d10001a3b605993ad15 upstream.

When I added the missing memory outputs, I failed to update the
index of the first argument (ebx) on 32-bit builds, which broke the
fallbacks.  Somehow I must have screwed up my testing or gotten
lucky.

Add another test to cover gettimeofday() as well.

commit 32043fa065b51e0b1433e48d118821c71b5cd65d upstream.

Currently the copy_to_user of data in the gentry struct is copying
uninitiaized data in field _pad from the stack to userspace.

Fix this by explicitly memset'ing gentry to zero, this also will zero any
compiler added padding fields that may be in struct (currently there are
none).

commit 0e1b869fff60c81b510c2d00602d778f8f59dd9a upstream.

Some guests OSes (including Windows 10) write to MSR 0xc001102c
on some cases (possibly while trying to apply a CPU errata).
Make KVM ignore reads and writes to that MSR, so the guest won't
crash.

The MSR is documented as "Execution Unit Configuration (EX_CFG)",
at AMD's "BIOS and Kernel Developer's Guide (BKDG) for AMD Family
15h Models 00h-0Fh Processors".

commit 405a353a0e20d09090ad96147da6afad9b0ce056 upstream.

Hyper-V writes 0x800000000000 to MSR_AMD64_DC_CFG when running on AMD CPUs
as recommended in erratum 383, analogous to our svm_init_erratum_383.

By ignoring the MSR, this patch enables running Hyper-V in L1 on AMD.

<title>KVM: Handle MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL</title>

commit 0c2df2a1affd183ba9c114915f42a2d464b4f58f upstream.

Intel CPUs having Turbo Boost feature implement an MSR to provide a
control interface via rdmsr/wrmsr instructions. One could detect the
presence of this feature by issuing one of these instructions and
handling the #GP exception which is generated in case the referenced MSR
is not implemented by the CPU.

KVM's vCPU model behaves exactly as a real CPU in this case by injecting
a fault when MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL is called (which KVM does not support).
However, some operating systems use this register during an early boot
stage in which their kernel is not capable of handling #GP correctly,
causing #DP and finally a triple fault effectively resetting the vCPU.

This patch implements a dummy handler for MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL to avoid the
crashes.

The reason is that the testcase writes hyperv synic HV_X64_MSR_SINT14 msr
and triggers scan ioapic logic to load synic vectors into EOI exit bitmap.
However, irqchip is not initialized by this simple testcase, ioapic/apic
objects should not be accessed.

This patch fixes it by also considering whether or not apic is present.

commit 76f4e2c3b6a560cdd7a75b87df543e04d05a9e5f upstream.

cpu_is_mmp2() was equivalent to cpu_is_pj4(), wouldn't be correct for
multiplatform kernels. Fix it by also considering mmp_chip_id, as is
done for cpu_is_pxa168() and cpu_is_pxa910() above.

Moreover, it is only available with CONFIG_CPU_MMP2 and thus doesn't work
on DT-based MMP2 machines. Enable it on CONFIG_MACH_MMP2_DT too.

Note: CONFIG_CPU_MMP2 is only used for machines that use board files
instead of DT. It should perhaps be renamed. I'm not doing it now, because
I don't have a better idea.

commit fd65d3142f734bc4376053c8d75670041903134d upstream.

Previously, we only called indirect_branch_prediction_barrier on the
logical CPU that freed a vmcb. This function should be called on all
logical CPUs that last loaded the vmcb in question.

commit fd65d3142f734bc4376053c8d75670041903134d upstream.

Previously, we only called indirect_branch_prediction_barrier on the
logical CPU that freed a vmcb. This function should be called on all
logical CPUs that last loaded the vmcb in question.

commit 0e0fee5c539b61fdd098332e0e2cc375d9073706 upstream.

When a guest page table is updated via an emulated write,
kvm_mmu_pte_write() is called to update the shadow PTE using the just
written guest PTE value. But if two emulated guest PTE writes happened
concurrently, it is possible that the guest PTE and the shadow PTE end
up being out of sync. Emulated writes do not mark the shadow page as
unsync-ed, so this inconsistency will not be resolved even by a guest TLB
flush (unless the page was marked as unsync-ed at some other point).

This is fixed by re-reading the current value of the guest PTE after the
MMU lock has been acquired instead of just using the value that was
written prior to calling kvm_mmu_pte_write().

<title>xtensa: fix coprocessor part of ptrace_{get,set}xregs</title>

commit 38a35a78c5e270cbe53c4fef6b0d3c2da90dd849 upstream.

Layout of coprocessor registers in the elf_xtregs_t and
xtregs_coprocessor_t may be different due to alignment. Thus it is not
always possible to copy data between the xtregs_coprocessor_t structure
and the elf_xtregs_t and get correct values for all registers.
Use a table of offsets and sizes of individual coprocessor register
groups to do coprocessor context copying in the ptrace_getxregs and
ptrace_setxregs.
This fixes incorrect coprocessor register values reading from the user
process by the native gdb on an xtensa core with multiple coprocessors
and registers with high alignment requirements.
