commit 8fff105e13041e49b82f92eef034f363a6b1c071 upstream.

The perf core implicitly rejects events spanning multiple HW PMUs, as in
these cases the event-&gt;ctx will differ. However this validation is
performed after pmu::event_init() is called in perf_init_event(), and
thus pmu::event_init() may be called with a group leader from a
different HW PMU.

The ARM64 PMU driver does not take this fact into account, and when
validating groups assumes that it can call to_arm_pmu(event-&gt;pmu) for
any HW event. When the event in question is from another HW PMU this is
wrong, and results in dereferencing garbage.

This patch updates the ARM64 PMU driver to first test for and reject
events from other PMUs, moving the to_arm_pmu and related logic after
this test. Fixes a crash triggered by perf_fuzzer on Linux-4.0-rc2, with
a CCI PMU present:

Also cleans up the code to use the arm_pmu only when we know
that we are dealing with an arm pmu event.

commit c623b33b4e9599c6ac5076f7db7369eb9869aa04 upstream.

As with x86, mark the sys_call_table const such that it will be placed
in the .rodata section. This will cause attempts to modify the table
(accidental or deliberate) to fail when strict page permissions are in
place. In the absence of strict page permissions, there should be no
functional change.

commit 9abc74a22d85ab29cef9896a2582a530da7e79bf upstream.

This is broken since ever but sadly nobody noticed.
Recent versions of GDB set DR_CONTROL unconditionally and
UML dies due to a heap corruption. It turns out that
the PTRACE_POKEUSER was copy&amp;pasted from i386 and assumes
that addresses are 4 bytes long.

Fix that by using 8 as address size in the calculation.

<title>x86/boot: Fix BSS corruption/overwrite bug in early x86 kernel startup</title>

commit d594aa0277e541bb997aef0bc0a55172d8138340 upstream.

The minimum size for a new stack (512 bytes) setup for arch/x86/boot components
when the bootloader does not setup/provide a stack for the early boot components
is not "enough".

The setup code executing as part of early kernel startup code, uses the stack
beyond 512 bytes and accidentally overwrites and corrupts part of the BSS
section. This is exposed mostly in the early video setup code, where
it was corrupting BSS variables like force_x, force_y, which in-turn affected
kernel parameters such as screen_info (screen_info.orig_video_cols) and
later caused an exception/panic in console_init().

Most recent boot loaders setup the stack for early boot components, so this
stack overwriting into BSS section issue has not been exposed.

<title>ARM: 8452/3: PJ4: make coprocessor access sequences buildable in Thumb2 mode</title>

commit 5008efc83bf85b647aa1cbc44718b1675bbb7444 upstream.

The PJ4 inline asm sequence to write to cp15 cannot be built in Thumb-2
mode, due to the way it performs arithmetic on the program counter, so it
is built in ARM mode instead. However, building C files in ARM mode under
CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL is problematic, since the instrumentation performed
by subsystems like ftrace does not expect having to deal with interworking
branches.

Since the sequence in question is simply a poor man's ISB instruction,
let's use a straight 'isb' instead when building in Thumb2 mode. Thumb2
implies V7, so 'isb' should always be supported in that case.

commit 80354c29025833acd72ddac1ffa21c6cb50128cd upstream.

The interrupt line used for the watchdog is 12, according to the official
Intel Edison BSP code.

And indeed after fixing it we start getting an interrupt and thus the
watchdog starts working again:

commit 75013fb16f8484898eaa8d0b08fed942d790f029 upstream.

Fix to the exception table entry check by using probed address
instead of the address of copied instruction.

This bug may cause unexpected kernel panic if user probe an address
where an exception can happen which should be fixup by __ex_table
(e.g. copy_from_user.)

Unless user puts a kprobe on such address, this doesn't
cause any problem.

This bug has been introduced years ago, by commit:

  464846888d9a ("x86/kprobes: Fix a bug which can modify kernel code permanently").

<title>x86/pci-calgary: Fix iommu_free() comparison of unsigned expression &gt;= 0</title>

commit 68dee8e2f2cacc54d038394e70d22411dee89da2 upstream.

commit 8fd524b355da ("x86: Kill bad_dma_address variable") has killed
bad_dma_address variable and used instead of macro DMA_ERROR_CODE
which is always zero. Since dma_addr is unsigned, the statement

   dma_addr &gt;= DMA_ERROR_CODE

is always true, and not needed.

arch/x86/kernel/pci-calgary_64.c: In function ‘iommu_free’:
arch/x86/kernel/pci-calgary_64.c:299:2: warning: comparison of unsigned expression &gt;= 0 is always true [-Wtype-limits]
  if (unlikely((dma_addr &gt;= DMA_ERROR_CODE) &amp;&amp; (dma_addr &lt; badend))) {

<title>powerpc/powernv: Fix opal_exit tracepoint opcode</title>

<id>e736adbe1f3e61a5a0f0c7bc38c7189fd1197e2c</id>
<content type='text'>
commit a7e0fb6c2029a780444d09560f739e020d54fe4d upstream.

Currently the opal_exit tracepoint usually shows the opcode as 0:

  &lt;idle&gt;-0     [047] d.h.   635.654292: opal_entry: opcode=63
  &lt;idle&gt;-0     [047] d.h.   635.654296: opal_exit: opcode=0 retval=0
  kopald-1209  [019] d...   636.420943: opal_entry: opcode=10
  kopald-1209  [019] d...   636.420959: opal_exit: opcode=0 retval=0

This is because we incorrectly load the opcode into r0 before calling
__trace_opal_exit(), whereas it expects the opcode in r3 (first function
parameter). In fact we are leaving the retval in r3, so opcode and
retval will always show the same value.

Instead load the opcode into r3, resulting in:

  &lt;idle&gt;-0     [040] d.h.   636.618625: opal_entry: opcode=63
  &lt;idle&gt;-0     [040] d.h.   636.618627: opal_exit: opcode=63 retval=0
