commit 8a38dacf87180738d42b058334c951eba15d2d47 upstream.

The Ethernet Switch core mask was set to 0, causing the switch core to
be not reset on BCM6368 on boot. Provide the proper mask so the switch
core gets reset to a known good state.

<title>KVM: x86: Use jmp to invoke kvm_spurious_fault() from .fixup</title>

commit e81434995081fd7efb755fd75576b35dbb0850b1 upstream.

____kvm_handle_fault_on_reboot() provides a generic exception fixup
handler that is used to cleanly handle faults on VMX/SVM instructions
during reboot (or at least try to).  If there isn't a reboot in
progress, ____kvm_handle_fault_on_reboot() treats any exception as
fatal to KVM and invokes kvm_spurious_fault(), which in turn generates
a BUG() to get a stack trace and die.

When it was originally added by commit 4ecac3fd6dc2 ("KVM: Handle
virtualization instruction #UD faults during reboot"), the "call" to
kvm_spurious_fault() was handcoded as PUSH+JMP, where the PUSH'd value
is the RIP of the faulting instructing.

The PUSH+JMP trickery is necessary because the exception fixup handler
code lies outside of its associated function, e.g. right after the
function.  An actual CALL from the .fixup code would show a slightly
bogus stack trace, e.g. an extra "random" function would be inserted
into the trace, as the return RIP on the stack would point to no known
function (and the unwinder will likely try to guess who owns the RIP).

Unfortunately, the JMP was replaced with a CALL when the macro was
reworked to not spin indefinitely during reboot (commit b7c4145ba2eb
"KVM: Don't spin on virt instruction faults during reboot").  This
causes the aforementioned behavior where a bogus function is inserted
into the stack trace, e.g. my builds like to blame free_kvm_area().

Revert the CALL back to a JMP.  The changelog for commit b7c4145ba2eb
("KVM: Don't spin on virt instruction faults during reboot") contains
nothing that indicates the switch to CALL was deliberate.  This is
backed up by the fact that the PUSH &lt;insn RIP&gt; was left intact.

Note that an alternative to the PUSH+JMP magic would be to JMP back
to the "real" code and CALL from there, but that would require adding
a JMP in the non-faulting path to avoid calling kvm_spurious_fault()
and would add no value, i.e. the stack trace would be the same.

Using CALL:

commit 897bc3df8c5aebb54c32d831f917592e873d0559 upstream.

Commit e1c3743e1a20 ("powerpc/tm: Set MSR[TS] just prior to recheckpoint")
moved a code block around and this block uses a 'msr' variable outside of
the CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM, however the 'msr' variable is declared
inside a CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM block, causing a possible error when
CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTION_MEM is not defined.

	error: 'msr' undeclared (first use in this function)

This is not causing a compilation error in the mainline kernel, because
'msr' is being used as an argument of MSR_TM_ACTIVE(), which is defined as
the following when CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM is *not* set:

	#define MSR_TM_ACTIVE(x) 0

This patch just fixes this issue avoiding the 'msr' variable usage outside
the CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM block, avoiding trusting in the
MSR_TM_ACTIVE() definition.

commit 6f5b9f018f4c7686fd944d920209d1382d320e4e upstream.

There is a TM Bad Thing bug that can be caused when you return from a
signal context in a suspended transaction but with ucontext MSR[TS] unset.

This forces regs-&gt;msr[TS] to be set at syscall entrance (since the CPU
state is transactional). It also calls treclaim() to flush the transaction
state, which is done based on the live (mfmsr) MSR state.

Since user context MSR[TS] is not set, then restore_tm_sigcontexts() is not
called, thus, not executing recheckpoint, keeping the CPU state as not
transactional. When calling rfid, SRR1 will have MSR[TS] set, but the CPU
state is non transactional, causing the TM Bad Thing with the following
stack:

commit e1c3743e1a20647c53b719dbf28b48f45d23f2cd upstream.

On a signal handler return, the user could set a context with MSR[TS] bits
set, and these bits would be copied to task regs-&gt;msr.

At restore_tm_sigcontexts(), after current task regs-&gt;msr[TS] bits are set,
several __get_user() are called and then a recheckpoint is executed.

This is a problem since a page fault (in kernel space) could happen when
calling __get_user(). If it happens, the process MSR[TS] bits were
already set, but recheckpoint was not executed, and SPRs are still invalid.

The page fault can cause the current process to be de-scheduled, with
MSR[TS] active and without tm_recheckpoint() being called.  More
importantly, without TEXASR[FS] bit set also.

Since TEXASR might not have the FS bit set, and when the process is
scheduled back, it will try to reclaim, which will be aborted because of
the CPU is not in the suspended state, and, then, recheckpoint. This
recheckpoint will restore thread-&gt;texasr into TEXASR SPR, which might be
zero, hitting a BUG_ON().

This patch simply delays the MSR[TS] set, so, if there is any page fault in
the __get_user() section, it does not have regs-&gt;msr[TS] set, since the TM
structures are still invalid, thus avoiding doing TM operations for
in-kernel exceptions and possible process reschedule.

With this patch, the MSR[TS] will only be set just before recheckpointing
and setting TEXASR[FS] = 1, thus avoiding an interrupt with TM registers in
invalid state.

Other than that, if CONFIG_PREEMPT is set, there might be a preemption just
after setting MSR[TS] and before tm_recheckpoint(), thus, this block must
be atomic from a preemption perspective, thus, calling
preempt_disable/enable() on this code.

It is not possible to move tm_recheckpoint to happen earlier, because it is
required to get the checkpointed registers from userspace, with
__get_user(), thus, the only way to avoid this undesired behavior is
delaying the MSR[TS] set.

The 32-bits signal handler seems to be safe this current issue, but, it
might be exposed to the preemption issue, thus, disabling preemption in
this chunk of code.

Changes from v2:
 * Run the critical section with preempt_disable.

commit 2b874a5c7b75fdc90fdd1e2ffaa3ec5a9d21e253 upstream.

This reverts the remains of commit b9ef7d6b11c1 ("powerpc: Update
default configurations").

That commit was proceeded by a commit which added a config option to
control use of BOOTX for early debug, ie. PPC_EARLY_DEBUG_BOOTX, and
then the update of the defconfigs was intended to not change behaviour
by then enabling the new config option.

However enabling PPC_EARLY_DEBUG had other consequences, notably
causing us to register the udbg console at the end of udbg_early_init().

This means on a system which doesn't have anything that BOOTX can
use (most systems), we register the udbg console very early but the
bootx code just throws everything away, meaning early boot messages
are never printed to the console.

What we want to happen is for the udbg console to only be registered
later (from setup_arch()) once we've setup udbg_putc, and then all
early boot messages will be replayed.

<title>KVM: arm/arm64: Fix VMID alloc race by reverting to lock-less</title>

<content type='text'>
commit fb544d1ca65a89f7a3895f7531221ceeed74ada7 upstream.

We recently addressed a VMID generation race by introducing a read/write
lock around accesses and updates to the vmid generation values.

However, kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() also calls need_new_vmid_gen() but
does so without taking the read lock.

As far as I can tell, this can lead to the same kind of race:

  VM 0, VCPU 0			VM 0, VCPU 1
  ------------			------------
  update_vttbr (vmid 254)
  				update_vttbr (vmid 1) // roll over
				read_lock(kvm_vmid_lock);
				force_vm_exit()
  local_irq_disable
  need_new_vmid_gen == false //because vmid gen matches

  enter_guest (vmid 254)
  				kvm_arch.vttbr = &lt;PGD&gt;:&lt;VMID 1&gt;
				read_unlock(kvm_vmid_lock);

  				enter_guest (vmid 1)

Which results in running two VCPUs in the same VM with different VMIDs
and (even worse) other VCPUs from other VMs could now allocate clashing
VMID 254 from the new generation as long as VCPU 0 is not exiting.

Attempt to solve this by making sure vttbr is updated before another CPU
can observe the updated VMID generation.

commit 0023ef39dc35c773c436eaa46ca539a26b308b55 upstream.

RDTSCP is supported in legacy mode as well as long mode. The
IA32_TSC_AUX MSR should be set to the correct guest value before
entering any guest that supports RDTSCP.

commit 17f6c83fb5ebf7db4fcc94a5be4c22d5a7bfe428 upstream.

For micro-mips, srlv inside POOL32A encoding space should use 0x50
sub-opcode, NOT 0x90.

Some early version ISA doc describes the encoding as 0x90 for both srlv and
srav, this looks to me was a typo. I checked Binutils libopcode
implementation which is using 0x50 for srlv and 0x90 for srav.

v1-&gt;v2:
  - Keep mm_srlv32_op sorted by value.

<title>MIPS: Expand MIPS32 ASIDs to 64 bits</title>

commit ff4dd232ec45a0e45ea69f28f069f2ab22b4908a upstream.

ASIDs have always been stored as unsigned longs, ie. 32 bits on MIPS32
kernels. This is problematic because it is feasible for the ASID version
to overflow &amp; wrap around to zero.

We currently attempt to handle this overflow by simply setting the ASID
version to 1, using asid_first_version(), but we make no attempt to
account for the fact that there may be mm_structs with stale ASIDs that
have versions which we now reuse due to the overflow &amp; wrap around.

Encountering this requires that:

  1) A struct mm_struct X is active on CPU A using ASID (V,n).

  2) That mm is not used on CPU A for the length of time that it takes
     for CPU A's asid_cache to overflow &amp; wrap around to the same
     version V that the mm had in step 1. During this time tasks using
     the mm could either be sleeping or only scheduled on other CPUs.

  3) Some other mm Y becomes active on CPU A and is allocated the same
     ASID (V,n).

  4) mm X now becomes active on CPU A again, and now incorrectly has the
     same ASID as mm Y.

Where struct mm_struct ASIDs are represented above in the format
(version, EntryHi.ASID), and on a typical MIPS32 system version will be
24 bits wide &amp; EntryHi.ASID will be 8 bits wide.

The length of time required in step 2 is highly dependent upon the CPU &amp;
workload, but for a hypothetical 2GHz CPU running a workload which
generates a new ASID every 10000 cycles this period is around 248 days.
Due to this long period of time &amp; the fact that tasks need to be
scheduled in just the right (or wrong, depending upon your inclination)
way, this is obviously a difficult bug to encounter but it's entirely
possible as evidenced by reports.

In order to fix this, simply extend ASIDs to 64 bits even on MIPS32
builds. This will extend the period of time required for the
hypothetical system above to encounter the problem from 28 days to
around 3 trillion years, which feels safely outside of the realms of
possibility.

The cost of this is slightly more generated code in some commonly
executed paths, but this is pretty minimal:

                         | Code Size Gain | Percentage
  -----------------------|----------------|-------------
    decstation_defconfig |           +270 | +0.00%
        32r2el_defconfig |           +652 | +0.01%
        32r6el_defconfig |          +1000 | +0.01%

I have been unable to measure any change in performance of the LMbench
lat_ctx or lat_proc tests resulting from the 64b ASIDs on either
32r2el_defconfig+interAptiv or 32r6el_defconfig+I6500 systems.
