commit 847d7970defb45540735b3fb4e88471c27cacd85 upstream.

For systems with multiple servers and routed fabric, all
northbridges get assigned to the first server. Fix this by also
using the node reported from the PCI bus. For single-fabric
systems, the northbriges are on PCI bus 0 by definition, which
are on NUMA node 0 by definition, so this is invarient on most
systems.

Tested on fam10h and fam15h single and multi-fabric systems and
candidate for stable.

commit 596f3142d2b7be307a1652d59e7b93adab918437 upstream.

We always disable cr8 intercept in its handler, but only re-enable it
if handling KVM_REQ_EVENT, so there can be a window where we do not
intercept cr8 writes, which allows an interrupt to disrupt a higher
priority task.

Fix this by disabling intercepts in the same function that re-enables
them when needed. This fixes BSOD in Windows 2008.

commit a5b2cf5b1af424ee3dd9e3ce6d5cea18cb927e67 upstream.

The 64bit relocation code places a few symbols in the text segment.
These symbols are only 4 byte aligned where they need to be 8 byte
aligned. Add an explicit alignment.

<title>powerpc/crashdump : Fix page frame number check in copy_oldmem_page</title>

commit f5295bd8ea8a65dc5eac608b151386314cb978f1 upstream.

In copy_oldmem_page, the current check using max_pfn and min_low_pfn to
decide if the page is backed or not, is not valid when the memory layout is
not continuous.

This happens when running as a QEMU/KVM guest, where RTAS is mapped higher
in the memory. In that case max_pfn points to the end of RTAS, and a hole
between the end of the kdump kernel and RTAS is not backed by PTEs. As a
consequence, the kdump kernel is crashing in copy_oldmem_page when accessing
in a direct way the pages in that hole.

This fix relies on the memblock's service memblock_is_region_memory to
check if the read page is part or not of the directly accessible memory.

commit 26e61e8939b1fe8729572dabe9a9e97d930dd4f6 upstream.

Vince "Super Tester" Weaver reported a new round of syscall fuzzing (Trinity) failures,
with perf WARN_ON()s triggering. He also provided traces of the failures.

This is I think the relevant bit:

	&gt;    pec_1076_warn-2804  [000] d...   147.926153: x86_pmu_disable: x86_pmu_disable
	&gt;    pec_1076_warn-2804  [000] d...   147.926153: x86_pmu_state: Events: {
	&gt;    pec_1076_warn-2804  [000] d...   147.926156: x86_pmu_state:   0: state: .R config: ffffffffffffffff (          (null))
	&gt;    pec_1076_warn-2804  [000] d...   147.926158: x86_pmu_state:   33: state: AR config: 0 (ffff88011ac99800)
	&gt;    pec_1076_warn-2804  [000] d...   147.926159: x86_pmu_state: }
	&gt;    pec_1076_warn-2804  [000] d...   147.926160: x86_pmu_state: n_events: 1, n_added: 0, n_txn: 1
	&gt;    pec_1076_warn-2804  [000] d...   147.926161: x86_pmu_state: Assignment: {
	&gt;    pec_1076_warn-2804  [000] d...   147.926162: x86_pmu_state:   0-&gt;33 tag: 1 config: 0 (ffff88011ac99800)
	&gt;    pec_1076_warn-2804  [000] d...   147.926163: x86_pmu_state: }
	&gt;    pec_1076_warn-2804  [000] d...   147.926166: collect_events: Adding event: 1 (ffff880119ec8800)

So we add the insn:p event (fd[23]).

At this point we should have:

  n_events = 2, n_added = 1, n_txn = 1

	&gt;    pec_1076_warn-2804  [000] d...   147.926170: collect_events: Adding event: 0 (ffff8800c9e01800)
	&gt;    pec_1076_warn-2804  [000] d...   147.926172: collect_events: Adding event: 4 (ffff8800cbab2c00)

We try and add the {BP,cycles,br_insn} group (fd[3], fd[4], fd[15]).
These events are 0:cycles and 4:br_insn, the BP event isn't x86_pmu so
that's not visible.

	group_sched_in()
	  pmu-&gt;start_txn() /* nop - BP pmu */
	  event_sched_in()
	     event-&gt;pmu-&gt;add()

So here we should end up with:

  0: n_events = 3, n_added = 2, n_txn = 2
  4: n_events = 4, n_added = 3, n_txn = 3

But seeing the below state on x86_pmu_enable(), the must have failed,
because the 0 and 4 events aren't there anymore.

Looking at group_sched_in(), since the BP is the leader, its
event_sched_in() must have succeeded, for otherwise we would not have
seen the sibling adds.

But since neither 0 or 4 are in the below state; their event_sched_in()
must have failed; but I don't see why, the complete state: 0,0,1:p,4
fits perfectly fine on a core2.

However, since we try and schedule 4 it means the 0 event must have
succeeded!  Therefore the 4 event must have failed, its failure will
have put group_sched_in() into the fail path, which will call:

	event_sched_out()
	  event-&gt;pmu-&gt;del()

on 0 and the BP event.

Now x86_pmu_del() will reduce n_events; but it will not reduce n_added;
giving what we see below:

 n_event = 2, n_added = 2, n_txn = 2

	&gt;    pec_1076_warn-2804  [000] d...   147.926177: x86_pmu_enable: x86_pmu_enable
	&gt;    pec_1076_warn-2804  [000] d...   147.926177: x86_pmu_state: Events: {
	&gt;    pec_1076_warn-2804  [000] d...   147.926179: x86_pmu_state:   0: state: .R config: ffffffffffffffff (          (null))
	&gt;    pec_1076_warn-2804  [000] d...   147.926181: x86_pmu_state:   33: state: AR config: 0 (ffff88011ac99800)
	&gt;    pec_1076_warn-2804  [000] d...   147.926182: x86_pmu_state: }
	&gt;    pec_1076_warn-2804  [000] d...   147.926184: x86_pmu_state: n_events: 2, n_added: 2, n_txn: 2
	&gt;    pec_1076_warn-2804  [000] d...   147.926184: x86_pmu_state: Assignment: {
	&gt;    pec_1076_warn-2804  [000] d...   147.926186: x86_pmu_state:   0-&gt;33 tag: 1 config: 0 (ffff88011ac99800)
	&gt;    pec_1076_warn-2804  [000] d...   147.926188: x86_pmu_state:   1-&gt;0 tag: 1 config: 1 (ffff880119ec8800)
	&gt;    pec_1076_warn-2804  [000] d...   147.926188: x86_pmu_state: }
	&gt;    pec_1076_warn-2804  [000] d...   147.926190: x86_pmu_enable: S0: hwc-&gt;idx: 33, hwc-&gt;last_cpu: 0, hwc-&gt;last_tag: 1 hwc-&gt;state: 0

So the problem is that x86_pmu_del(), when called from a
group_sched_in() that fails (for whatever reason), and without x86_pmu
TXN support (because the leader is !x86_pmu), will corrupt the n_added
state.

So the problem is that x86_pmu_del(), when called from a
group_sched_in() that fails (for whatever reason), and without x86_pmu
TXN support (because the leader is !x86_pmu), will corrupt the n_added
state.

commit 8d80390cfc9434d5aa4fb9e5f9768a66b30cb8a6 upstream.

For avr32 cross compiler, do not define '__linux__' internally, so it
will cause issue with allmodconfig.

commit a16dad7763420a3b46cff1e703a9070827796cfc upstream.

Normally r4k_dma_cache_inv should only ever be called with cacheline
aligned addresses.  If however, it isn't there is the theoretical
possibility of data corruption.  There is no correct way of handling this
and anyway, it should only happen if the DMA API is used incorrectly
so drop

There is a different corruption scenario with these CACHE instructions
removed but again there is no way of handling this correctly and it can
be triggered only through incorrect use of the DMA API.

So just get rid of the complexity.

<title>ARM: 7955/1: spinlock: ensure we have a compiler barrier before sev</title>

commit 7c8746a9eb287642deaad0e7c2cdf482dce5e4be upstream.

When unlocking a spinlock, we require the following, strictly ordered
sequence of events:

	&lt;barrier&gt;	/* dmb */
	&lt;unlock&gt;
	&lt;barrier&gt;	/* dsb */
	&lt;sev&gt;

Whilst the code does indeed reflect this in terms of the architecture,
the final &lt;barrier&gt; + &lt;sev&gt; have been contracted into a single inline
asm without a "memory" clobber, therefore the compiler is at liberty to
reorder the unlock to the end of the above sequence. In such a case,
a waiting CPU may be woken up before the lock has been unlocked, leading
to extremely poor performance.

This patch reworks the dsb_sev() function to make use of the dsb()
macro and ensure ordering against the unlock.
