commit 4ab18701c66552944188dbcd0ce0012729baab84 upstream.

FDT tag parsing is not related to whether BLK_DEV_INITRD is configured
or not, move it out of the corresponding #ifdef/#endif block.
This fixes passing external FDT to the kernel configured w/o
BLK_DEV_INITRD support.

<content type='text'>
commit 4920e3cf77347d7d7373552d4839e8d832321313 upstream.

The current implementation of setup_randomness uses the stack address
and therefore the pointer to the SYSIB 3.2.2 block as input data
address. Furthermore the length of the input data is the number of
virtual-machine description blocks which is typically one.

This means that typically a single zero byte is fed to
add_device_randomness.

Fix both of these and use the address of the first virtual machine
description block as input data address and also use the correct
length.

commit da8fd820f389a0e29080b14c61bf5cf1d8ef5ca1 upstream.

Commit bcfcbb6bae64 ("s390: add system information as device
randomness") intended to add some virtual machine specific information
to the randomness pool.

Unfortunately it uses the page allocator before it is ready to use. In
result the page allocator always returns NULL and the setup_randomness
function never adds anything to the randomness pool.

To fix this use memblock_alloc and memblock_free instead.

commit fb94a687d96c570d46332a4a890f1dcb7310e643 upstream.

Return a sensible value if TASK_SIZE if called from a kernel thread.

This gets us around an issue with copy_mount_options that does a magic
size calculation "TASK_SIZE - (unsigned long)data" while in a kernel
thread and data pointing to kernel space.

commit e1e8a9624f7ba8ead4f056ff558ed070e86fa747 upstream.

User controlled KVM guests do not support the dirty log, as they have
no single gmap that we can check for changes.

As they have no single gmap, kvm-&gt;arch.gmap is NULL and all further
referencing to it for dirty checking will result in a NULL
dereference.

Let's return -EINVAL if a caller tries to sync dirty logs for a
UCONTROL guest.

commit ae2f5e5ed04a17c1aa1f0a3714c725e12c21d2a9 upstream.

Fix the following build error with binutils 2.25.

  CC      arch/mips/mm/sc-ip22.o
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:132: Error: number (0x9000000080000000) larger than 32 bits
{standard input}:159: Error: number (0x9000000080000000) larger than 32 bits

scripts/Makefile.build:293: recipe for target 'arch/mips/mm/sc-ip22.o' failed
make[1]: *** [arch/mips/mm/sc-ip22.o] Error 1

MIPS has used .set mips3 to temporarily switch the assembler to 64 bit
mode in 64 bit kernels virtually forever.  Binutils 2.25 broke this
behavious partially by happily accepting 64 bit instructions in .set mips3
mode but puking on 64 bit constants when generating 32 bit ELF.  Binutils
2.26 restored the old behaviour again.

Fix build with binutils 2.25 by open coding the offending

	dli $1, 0x9000000080000000

as

	li	$1, 0x9000
	dsll	$1, $1, 48

which is ugly be the only thing that will build on all binutils vintages.

commit c21a493a2b44650707d06741601894329486f2ad upstream.

Currently xmon data-breakpoint feature is broken.

Whenever there is a watchpoint match occurs, hw_breakpoint_handler will
be called by do_break via notifier chains mechanism. If watchpoint is
registered by xmon, hw_breakpoint_handler won't find any associated
perf_event and returns immediately with NOTIFY_STOP. Similarly, do_break
also returns without notifying to xmon.

Solve this by returning NOTIFY_DONE when hw_breakpoint_handler does not
find any perf_event associated with matched watchpoint, rather than
NOTIFY_STOP, which tells the core code to continue calling the other
breakpoint handlers including the xmon one.

<title>arm/arm64: KVM: Enforce unconditional flush to PoC when mapping to stage-2</title>

commit 8f36ebaf21fdae99c091c67e8b6fab33969f2667 upstream.

When we fault in a page, we flush it to the PoC (Point of Coherency)
if the faulting vcpu has its own caches off, so that it can observe
the page we just brought it.

But if the vcpu has its caches on, we skip that step. Bad things
happen when *another* vcpu tries to access that page with its own
caches disabled. At that point, there is no garantee that the
data has made it to the PoC, and we access stale data.

The obvious fix is to always flush to PoC when a page is faulted
in, no matter what the state of the vcpu is.
