[ Upstream commit 7d6475051fb3d9339c5c760ed9883bc0a9048b21 ]

Commit e78a7614f3876 ("idle: Prevent late-arriving interrupts from
disrupting offline") changes arch_cpu_idle_dead to be called with
interrupts disabled, which triggers the WARN in pnv_smp_cpu_kill_self.

Fix this by fixing up irq_happened after hard disabling, rather than
requiring there are no pending interrupts, similarly to what was done
done until commit 2525db04d1cc5 ("powerpc/powernv: Simplify lazy IRQ
handling in CPU offline").

<title>arm64: Ensure VM_WRITE|VM_SHARED ptes are clean by default</title>

commit aa57157be69fb599bd4c38a4b75c5aad74a60ec0 upstream.

Shared and writable mappings (__S.1.) should be clean (!dirty) initially
and made dirty on a subsequent write either through the hardware DBM
(dirty bit management) mechanism or through a write page fault. A clean
pte for the arm64 kernel is one that has PTE_RDONLY set and PTE_DIRTY
clear.

The PAGE_SHARED{,_EXEC} attributes have PTE_WRITE set (PTE_DBM) and
PTE_DIRTY clear. Prior to commit 73e86cb03cf2 ("arm64: Move PTE_RDONLY
bit handling out of set_pte_at()"), it was the responsibility of
set_pte_at() to set the PTE_RDONLY bit and mark the pte clean if the
software PTE_DIRTY bit was not set. However, the above commit removed
the pte_sw_dirty() check and the subsequent setting of PTE_RDONLY in
set_pte_at() while leaving the PAGE_SHARED{,_EXEC} definitions
unchanged. The result is that shared+writable mappings are now dirty by
default

Fix the above by explicitly setting PTE_RDONLY in PAGE_SHARED{,_EXEC}.
In addition, remove the superfluous PTE_DIRTY bit from the kernel PROT_*
attributes.

<title>s390/idle: fix cpu idle time calculation</title>

commit 3d7efa4edd07be5c5c3ffa95ba63e97e070e1f3f upstream.

The idle time reported in /proc/stat sometimes incorrectly contains
huge values on s390. This is caused by a bug in arch_cpu_idle_time().

The kernel tries to figure out when a different cpu entered idle by
accessing its per-cpu data structure. There is an ordering problem: if
the remote cpu has an idle_enter value which is not zero, and an
idle_exit value which is zero, it is assumed it is idle since
"now". The "now" timestamp however is taken before the idle_enter
value is read.

Which in turn means that "now" can be smaller than idle_enter of the
remote cpu. Unconditionally subtracting idle_enter from "now" can thus
lead to a negative value (aka large unsigned value).

Fix this by moving the get_tod_clock() invocation out of the
loop. While at it also make the code a bit more readable.

A similar bug also exists for show_idle_time(). Fix this is as well.

commit b8e51a6a9db94bc1fb18ae831b3dab106b5a4b5f upstream.

The problem is that we were putting the NUL terminator too far:

	buf[sizeof(buf) - 1] = '\0';

If the user input isn't NUL terminated and they haven't initialized the
whole buffer then it leads to an info leak.  The NUL terminator should
be:

	buf[len - 1] = '\0';

[ Upstream commit 4c0742f65b4ee466546fd24b71b56516cacd4613 ]

It was reported that 72cd4064fcca "NOMMU: Toggle only bits in
EXC_RETURN we are really care of" breaks NOMMU+XIP combination.
It happens because saved EXC_RETURN gets overwritten when data
section is relocated.

The fix is to propagate EXC_RETURN via register and let relocation
code to commit that value into memory.

[ Upstream commit df4d29732fdad43a51284f826bec3e6ded177540 ]

It turns out that the NMI latency workaround from commit:

  6d3edaae16c6 ("x86/perf/amd: Resolve NMI latency issues for active PMCs")

ends up being too conservative and results in the perf NMI handler claiming
NMIs too easily on AMD hardware when the NMI watchdog is active.

This has an impact, for example, on the hpwdt (HPE watchdog timer) module.
This module can produce an NMI that is used to reset the system. It
registers an NMI handler for the NMI_UNKNOWN type and relies on the fact
that nothing has claimed an NMI so that its handler will be invoked when
the watchdog device produces an NMI. After the referenced commit, the
hpwdt module is unable to process its generated NMI if the NMI watchdog is
active, because the current NMI latency mitigation results in the NMI
being claimed by the perf NMI handler.

Update the AMD perf NMI latency mitigation workaround to, instead, use a
window of time. Whenever a PMC is handled in the perf NMI handler, set a
timestamp which will act as a perf NMI window. Any NMIs arriving within
that window will be claimed by perf. Anything outside that window will
not be claimed by perf. The value for the NMI window is set to 100 msecs.
This is a conservative value that easily covers any NMI latency in the
hardware. While this still results in a window in which the hpwdt module
will not receive its NMI, the window is now much, much smaller.

[ Upstream commit 8d7c6ac3b2371eb1cbc9925a88f4d10efff374de ]

Comet Lake is the new 10th Gen Intel processor. Add two new CPU model
numbers to the Intel family list.

The CPU model numbers are not published in the SDM yet but they come
from an authoritative internal source.
