[ Upstream commit a1208f6a822ac29933e772ef1f637c5d67838da9 ]

This patch addresses possible memory corruption when
v7_dma_inv_range(start_address, end_address) address parameters are not
aligned to whole cache lines. This function issues "invalidate" cache
management operations to all cache lines from start_address (inclusive)
to end_address (exclusive). When start_address and/or end_address are
not aligned, the start and/or end cache lines are first issued "clean &amp;
invalidate" operation. The assumption is this is done to ensure that any
dirty data addresses outside the address range (but part of the first or
last cache lines) are cleaned/flushed so that data is not lost, which
could happen if just an invalidate is issued.

The problem is that these first/last partial cache lines are issued
"clean &amp; invalidate" and then "invalidate". This second "invalidate" is
not required and worse can cause "lost" writes to addresses outside the
address range but part of the cache line. If another component writes to
its part of the cache line between the "clean &amp; invalidate" and
"invalidate" operations, the write can get lost. This fix is to remove
the extra "invalidate" operation when unaligned addressed are used.

A kernel module is available that has a stress test to reproduce the
issue and a unit test of the updated v7_dma_inv_range(). It can be
downloaded from
http://ftp.sageembedded.com/outgoing/linux/cache-test-20181107.tgz.

v7_dma_inv_range() is call by dmac_[un]map_area(addr, len, direction)
when the direction is DMA_FROM_DEVICE. One can (I believe) successfully
argue that DMA from a device to main memory should use buffers aligned
to cache line size, because the "clean &amp; invalidate" might overwrite
data that the device just wrote using DMA. But if a driver does use
unaligned buffers, at least this fix will prevent memory corruption
outside the buffer.

[ Upstream commit 10d443431dc2bb733cf7add99b453e3fb9047a2e ]

Some ARC CPU's do not support unaligned loads/stores. Currently, generic
implementation of reads{b/w/l}()/writes{b/w/l}() is being used with ARC.
This can lead to misfunction of some drivers as generic functions do a
plain dereference of a pointer that can be unaligned.

Let's use {get/put}_unaligned() helpers instead of plain dereference of
pointer in order to fix. The helpers allow to get and store data from an
unaligned address whilst preserving the CPU internal alignment.
According to [1], the use of these helpers are costly in terms of
performance so we added an initial check for a buffer already aligned so
that the usage of the helpers can be avoided, when possible.

[ Upstream commit 79c2206d369b87b19ac29cb47601059b6bf5c291 ]

An affected screen resolution is 1366 x 768, which width is not
divisible by 8, the default font width. On such screens, when longer
lines are earlyprintk'ed, overflow-to-next-line can never trigger,
due to the left-most x-coordinate of the next character always less
than the screen width. Earlyprintk will infinite loop in trying to
print the rest of the string but unable to, due to the line being
full.

This patch makes the trigger consider the right-most x-coordinate,
instead of left-most, as the value to compare against the screen
width threshold.

<title>powerpc/msi: Fix NULL pointer access in teardown code</title>

commit 78e7b15e17ac175e7eed9e21c6f92d03d3b0a6fa upstream.

The arch_teardown_msi_irqs() function assumes that controller ops
pointers were already checked in arch_setup_msi_irqs(), but this
assumption is wrong: arch_teardown_msi_irqs() can be called even when
arch_setup_msi_irqs() returns an error (-ENOSYS).

This can happen in the following scenario:
  - msi_capability_init() calls pci_msi_setup_msi_irqs()
  - pci_msi_setup_msi_irqs() returns -ENOSYS
  - msi_capability_init() notices the error and calls free_msi_irqs()
  - free_msi_irqs() calls pci_msi_teardown_msi_irqs()

This is easier to see when CONFIG_PCI_MSI_IRQ_DOMAIN is not set and
pci_msi_setup_msi_irqs() and pci_msi_teardown_msi_irqs() are just
aliases to arch_setup_msi_irqs() and arch_teardown_msi_irqs().

The call to free_msi_irqs() upon pci_msi_setup_msi_irqs() failure
seems legit, as it does additional cleanup; e.g.
list_del(&amp;entry-&gt;list) and kfree(entry) inside free_msi_irqs() do
happen (MSI descriptors are allocated before pci_msi_setup_msi_irqs()
is called and need to be cleaned up if that fails).

[ Upstream commit 64c3f648c25d108f346fdc96c15180c6b7d250e9 ]

Once in a while I see build errors similar to the following
when building images from a clean tree.

  Building powerpc:virtex-ml507:44x/virtex5_defconfig ... failed

Rebuilds will succeed.

Turns out that several source files in arch/powerpc/boot/ include
libfdt.h, but Makefile dependencies are incomplete. Let's fix that.

commit 768ae309a96103ed02eb1e111e838c87854d8b51 upstream.

This removes the 'write' and 'force' from get_user_pages() and replaces
them with 'gup_flags' to make the use of FOLL_FORCE explicit in callers
as use of this flag can result in surprising behaviour (and hence bugs)
within the mm subsystem.

 - Keep the "write" variable in amdgpu_ttm_tt_pin_userptr() as it's still
   needed
 - Also update calls from various other places that now use
   get_user_pages_remote() upstream, which were updated there by commit
   9beae1ea8930 "mm: replace get_user_pages_remote() write/force ..."
 - Also update calls from hfi1 and ipath
 - Adjust context]

commit c164154f66f0c9b02673f07aa4f044f1d9c70274 upstream.

This removes the 'write' and 'force' use from get_user_pages_unlocked()
and replaces them with 'gup_flags' to make the use of FOLL_FORCE
explicit in callers as use of this flag can result in surprising
behaviour (and hence bugs) within the mm subsystem.

commit bc226f07dcd3c9ef0b7f6236fe356ea4a9cb4769 upstream.

Expose the new virtualized architectural mechanism, VIRT_SSBD, for using
speculative store bypass disable (SSBD) under SVM.  This will allow guests
to use SSBD on hardware that uses non-architectural mechanisms for enabling
SSBD.

[ tglx: Folded the migration fixup from Paolo Bonzini ]

commit e7c587da125291db39ddf1f49b18e5970adbac17 upstream.

Intel and AMD have different CPUID bits hence for those use synthetic bits
which get set on the respective vendor's in init_speculation_control(). So
that debacles like what the commit message of

  c65732e4f721 ("x86/cpu: Restore CPUID_8000_0008_EBX reload")

talks about don't happen anymore.

commit ccbcd2674472a978b48c91c1fbfb66c0ff959f24 upstream.

AMD is proposing a VIRT_SPEC_CTRL MSR to handle the Speculative Store
Bypass Disable via MSR_AMD64_LS_CFG so that guests do not have to care
about the bit position of the SSBD bit and thus facilitate migration.
Also, the sibling coordination on Family 17H CPUs can only be done on
the host.

Extend x86_spec_ctrl_set_guest() and x86_spec_ctrl_restore_host() with an
extra argument for the VIRT_SPEC_CTRL MSR.

Hand in 0 from VMX and in SVM add a new virt_spec_ctrl member to the CPU
data structure which is going to be used in later patches for the actual
implementation.
