[ Upstream commit f5e0a12ca2d939e47995f73428d9bf1ad372b289 ]

An arm64 allmodconfig fails to build with GCC 5 due to __asmeq
assertions in the PSCI firmware calling code firing due to mcount
preambles breaking our assumptions about register allocation of function
arguments:

  /tmp/ccDqJsJ6.s: Assembler messages:
  /tmp/ccDqJsJ6.s:60: Error: .err encountered
  /tmp/ccDqJsJ6.s:61: Error: .err encountered

  /tmp/ccDqJsJ6.s:100: Error: .err encountered
  /tmp/ccDqJsJ6.s:101: Error: .err encountered

This patch fixes the issue by moving the PSCI calls out-of-line into
their own assembly files, which are safe from the compiler's meddling
fingers.

<title>KVM: VMX: disable PEBS before a guest entry</title>

[ Upstream commit 7099e2e1f4d9051f31bbfa5803adf954bb5d76ef ]

Linux guests on Haswell (and also SandyBridge and Broadwell, at least)
would crash if you decided to run a host command that uses PEBS, like
  perf record -e 'cpu/mem-stores/pp' -a

This happens because KVM is using VMX MSR switching to disable PEBS, but
SDM [2015-12] 18.4.4.4 Re-configuring PEBS Facilities explains why it
isn't safe:
  When software needs to reconfigure PEBS facilities, it should allow a
  quiescent period between stopping the prior event counting and setting
  up a new PEBS event. The quiescent period is to allow any latent
  residual PEBS records to complete its capture at their previously
  specified buffer address (provided by IA32_DS_AREA).

There might not be a quiescent period after the MSR switch, so a CPU
ends up using host's MSR_IA32_DS_AREA to access an area in guest's
memory.  (Or MSR switching is just buggy on some models.)

The guest can learn something about the host this way:
If the guest doesn't map address pointed by MSR_IA32_DS_AREA, it results
in #PF where we leak host's MSR_IA32_DS_AREA through CR2.

After that, a malicious guest can map and configure memory where
MSR_IA32_DS_AREA is pointing and can therefore get an output from
host's tracing.

This is not a critical leak as the host must initiate with PEBS tracing
and I have not been able to get a record from more than one instruction
before vmentry in vmx_vcpu_run() (that place has most registers already
overwritten with guest's).

We could disable PEBS just few instructions before vmentry, but
disabling it earlier shouldn't affect host tracing too much.
We also don't need to switch MSR_IA32_PEBS_ENABLE on VMENTRY, but that
optimization isn't worth its code, IMO.

(If you are implementing PEBS for guests, be sure to handle the case
 where both host and guest enable PEBS, because this patch doesn't.)

[ Upstream commit ccec44563b18a0ce90e2d4f332784b3cb25c8e9c ]

Thomas Huth discovered that a guest could cause a hard hang of a
host CPU by setting the Instruction Authority Mask Register (IAMR)
to a suitable value.  It turns out that this is because when the
code was added to context-switch the new special-purpose registers
(SPRs) that were added in POWER8, we forgot to add code to ensure
that they were restored to a sane value on guest exit.

This adds code to set those registers where a bad value could
compromise the execution of the host kernel to a suitable neutral
value on guest exit.

<title>ARM: dts: dra7: do not gate cpsw clock due to errata i877</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 0f514e690740e54815441a87708c3326f8aa8709 ]

Errata id: i877

Description:
------------
The RGMII 1000 Mbps Transmit timing is based on the output clock
(rgmiin_txc) being driven relative to the rising edge of an internal
clock and the output control/data (rgmiin_txctl/txd) being driven relative
to the falling edge of an internal clock source. If the internal clock
source is allowed to be static low (i.e., disabled) for an extended period
of time then when the clock is actually enabled the timing delta between
the rising edge and falling edge can change over the lifetime of the
device. This can result in the device switching characteristics degrading
over time, and eventually failing to meet the Data Manual Delay Time/Skew
specs.
To maintain RGMII 1000 Mbps IO Timings, SW should minimize the
duration that the Ethernet internal clock source is disabled. Note that
the device reset state for the Ethernet clock is "disabled".
Other RGMII modes (10 Mbps, 100Mbps) are not affected

Workaround:
-----------
If the SoC Ethernet interface(s) are used in RGMII mode at 1000 Mbps,
SW should minimize the time the Ethernet internal clock source is disabled
to a maximum of 200 hours in a device life cycle. This is done by enabling
the clock as early as possible in IPL (QNX) or SPL/u-boot (Linux/Android)
by setting the register CM_GMAC_CLKSTCTRL[1:0]CLKTRCTRL = 0x2:SW_WKUP.

So, do not allow to gate the cpsw clocks using ti,no-idle property in
cpsw node assuming 1000 Mbps is being used all the time. If someone does
not need 1000 Mbps and wants to gate clocks to cpsw, this property needs
to be deleted in their respective board files.

[ Upstream commit de818bd4522c40ea02a81b387d2fa86f989c9623 ]

The function graph tracer adds instrumentation that is required to trace
both entry and exit of a function. In particular the function graph
tracer updates the "return address" of a function in order to insert
a trace callback on function exit.

Kernel power management functions like cpu_suspend() are called
upon power down entry with functions called "finishers" that are in turn
called to trigger the power down sequence but they may not return to the
kernel through the normal return path.

When the core resumes from low-power it returns to the cpu_suspend()
function through the cpu_resume path, which leaves the trace stack frame
set-up by the function tracer in an incosistent state upon return to the
kernel when tracing is enabled.

This patch fixes the issue by pausing/resuming the function graph
tracer on the thread executing cpu_suspend() (ie the function call that
subsequently triggers the "suspend finishers"), so that the function graph
tracer state is kept consistent across functions that enter power down
states and never return by effectively disabling graph tracer while they
are executing.

[ Upstream commit 7cae2bedcbd4680b155999655e49c27b9cf020fa ]

As reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1494350,
it is possible to have vcpu-&gt;arch.st.last_steal initialized
from a thread other than vcpu thread, say the iothread, via
KVM_SET_MSRS.

Which can cause an overflow later (when subtracting from vcpu threads
sched_info.run_delay).

To avoid that, move steal time accumulation to vcpu entry time,
before copying steal time data to guest.

[ Upstream commit e723e3f7f9591b79e8c56b3d7c5a204a9c571b55 ]

Avoid sending a partially initialised `siginfo_t' structure along SIGFPE
signals issued from `do_ov' and `do_trap_or_bp', leading to information
leaking from the kernel stack.

[ Upstream commit 92f9e179a702a6adbc11e2fedc76ecd6ffc9e3f7 ]

Pause/unpause graph tracing around do_suspend_lowlevel as it has
inconsistent call/return info after it jumps to the wakeup vector.
The graph trace buffer will otherwise become misaligned and
may eventually crash and hang on suspend.

To reproduce the issue and test the fix:
Run a function_graph trace over suspend/resume and set the graph
function to suspend_devices_and_enter. This consistently hangs the
system without this fix.
