commit 5d8d4af24460d079ecdb190254b14b528add1228 upstream.

The introduction of the SVE registers to userspace started with a
refactoring of the way we expose any register via the ONE_REG
interface.

Unfortunately, this change doesn't exactly behave as expected
if the number of registers is non-zero and consider everything
to be an error. The visible result is that QEMU barfs very early
when creating vcpus.

Make sure we only exit early in case there is an actual error, rather
than a positive number of registers...

<title>KVM: arm64: Filter out invalid core register IDs in KVM_GET_REG_LIST</title>

commit df205b5c63281e4f32caac22adda18fd68795e80 upstream.

Since commit d26c25a9d19b ("arm64: KVM: Tighten guest core register
access from userspace"), KVM_{GET,SET}_ONE_REG rejects register IDs
that do not correspond to a single underlying architectural register.

KVM_GET_REG_LIST was not changed to match however: instead, it
simply yields a list of 32-bit register IDs that together cover the
whole kvm_regs struct.  This means that if userspace tries to use
the resulting list of IDs directly to drive calls to KVM_*_ONE_REG,
some of those calls will now fail.

This was not the intention.  Instead, iterating KVM_*_ONE_REG over
the list of IDs returned by KVM_GET_REG_LIST should be guaranteed
to work.

This patch fixes the problem by splitting validate_core_offset()
into a backend core_reg_size_from_offset() which does all of the
work except for checking that the size field in the register ID
matches, and kvm_arm_copy_reg_indices() and num_core_regs() are
converted to use this to enumerate the valid offsets.

kvm_arm_copy_reg_indices() now also sets the register ID size field
appropriately based on the value returned, so the register ID
supplied to userspace is fully qualified for use with the register
access ioctls.

commit be25bbb392fad3a721d6d21b78639b60612b5439 upstream.

In preparation for adding logic to filter out some KVM_REG_ARM_CORE
registers from the KVM_GET_REG_LIST output, this patch factors out
the core register enumeration into a separate function and rebuilds
num_core_regs() on top of it.

This may be a little more expensive (depending on how good a job
the compiler does of specialising the code), but KVM_GET_REG_LIST
is not a hot path.

This will make it easier to consolidate ID filtering code in one
place.

No functional change.

commit 89aba4c26fae4e459f755a18912845c348ee48f3 upstream.

Add missing earlyclobber annotation to size, to, and tmp2 operands of the
__clear_user() inline assembly since they are modified or written to before
the last usage of all input operands. This can lead to incorrect register
allocation for the inline assembly.

[ Upstream commit e36a82bebbf7da814530d5a179bef9df5934b717 ]

__get_kernel_nofault() does copy data in supervisor mode when
forcing a task backtrace log through /proc/sysrq_trigger.
This is expected cause a bus error exception on e.g. NULL
pointer dereferencing when logging a kernel task has no
workqueue associated. This bus error ought to be ignored.

Our 030 bus error handler is ill equipped to deal with this:

Whenever ssw indicates a kernel mode access on a data fault,
we don't even attempt to handle the fault and instead always
send a SEGV signal (or panic). As a result, the check
for exception handling at the fault PC (buried in
send_sig_fault() which gets called from do_page_fault()
eventually) is never used.

In contrast, both 040 and 060 access error handlers do not
care whether a fault happened on supervisor mode access,
and will call do_page_fault() on those, ultimately honoring
the exception table.

Add a check in bus_error030 to call do_page_fault() in case
we do have an entry for the fault PC in our exception table.

I had attempted a fix for this earlier in 2019 that did rely
on testing pagefault_disabled() (see link below) to achieve
the same thing, but this patch should be more generic.

Tested on 030 Atari Falcon.

There has been considerable discussion on this patch that has led to a
larger patch set removing COMMAND_LINE_SIZE from the uapi headers on all

<title>x86/cpu: Fix LFENCE serialization check in init_amd()</title>

<content type='text'>
The commit: 3f235279828c ("x86/cpu: Restore AMD's DE_CFG MSR after resume")
which was backported from the upstream commit: 2632daebafd0 renamed the
MSR_F10H_DECFG_LFENCE_SERIALIZE macro to MSR_AMD64_DE_CFG_LFENCE_SERIALIZE.
The fix for 4.14 and 4.9 changed MSR_F10H_DECFG_LFENCE_SERIALIZE to
MSR_AMD64_DE_CFG_LFENCE_SERIALIZE_BIT in the init_amd() function, but should
have used MSR_AMD64_DE_CFG_LFENCE_SERIALIZE.  This causes a discrepency in the
LFENCE serialization check in the init_amd() function.

This causes a ~16% sysbench memory regression, when running:
    sysbench --test=memory run

<title>alpha: fix R_ALPHA_LITERAL reloc for large modules</title>

[ Upstream commit b6b17a8b3ecd878d98d5472a9023ede9e669ca72 ]

Previously, R_ALPHA_LITERAL relocations would overflow for large kernel
modules.

This was because the Alpha's apply_relocate_add was relying on the kernel's
module loader to have sorted the GOT towards the very end of the module as it
was mapped into memory in order to correctly assign the global pointer. While
this behavior would mostly work fine for small kernel modules, this approach
would overflow on kernel modules with large GOT's since the global pointer
would be very far away from the GOT, and thus, certain entries would be out of
range.

This patch fixes this by instead using the Tru64 behavior of assigning the
global pointer to be 32KB away from the start of the GOT. The change made
in this patch won't work for multi-GOT kernel modules as it makes the
assumption the module only has one GOT located at the beginning of .got,
although for the vast majority kernel modules, this should be fine. Of the
kernel modules that would previously result in a relocation error, none of
them, even modules like nouveau, have even come close to filling up a single
GOT, and they've all worked fine under this patch.
