commit 374b3bf8e8b519f61eb9775888074c6e46b3bf0c upstream.

As discussed on the debian-hppa list, double-wordcompare and exchange
operations fail on 32-bit kernels.  Looking at the code, I realized that
the ",ma" completer does the wrong thing in the  "ldw,ma  4(%r26), %r29"
instruction.  This increments %r26 and causes the following store to
write to the wrong location.

Note by Helge Deller:
The patch applies cleanly to stable kernel series if this upstream
commit is merged in advance:
f4125cfdb300 ("parisc: Avoid trashing sr2 and sr3 in LWS code").

commit f4125cfdb3008363137f744c101e5d76ead760ba upstream.

There is no need to trash sr2 and sr3 in the Light-weight syscall (LWS).  sr2
already points to kernel space (it's zero in userspace, otherwise syscalls
wouldn't work), and since the LWS code is executed in userspace, we can simply
ignore to preload sr3.

commit 5fdc66e046206306bf61ff2d626bfa52ca087f7b upstream.

Commit db8466c581cc ("MIPS: IRQ Stack: Unwind IRQ stack onto task
stack") erroneously set the initial stack pointer of the IRQ stack to a
value with a 4 byte alignment. The MIPS32 ABI requires that the minimum
stack alignment is 8 byte, and the MIPS64 ABIs(n32/n64) require 16 byte
minimum alignment. Fix IRQ_STACK_START such that it leaves space for the
dummy stack frame (containing interrupted task kernel stack pointer)
while also meeting minimum alignment requirements.

<title>x86/alternatives: Fix alt_max_short macro to really be a max()</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 6b32c126d33d5cb379bca280ab8acedc1ca978ff upstream.

The alt_max_short() macro in asm/alternative.h does not work as
intended, leading to nasty bugs. E.g. alt_max_short("1", "3")
evaluates to 3, but alt_max_short("3", "1") evaluates to 1 -- not
exactly the maximum of 1 and 3.

In fact, I had to learn it the hard way by crashing my kernel in not
so funny ways by attempting to make use of the ALTENATIVE_2 macro
with alternatives where the first one was larger than the second
one.

According to [1] and commit dbe4058a6a44 ("x86/alternatives: Fix
ALTERNATIVE_2 padding generation properly") the right handed side
should read "-(-(a &lt; b))" not "-(-(a - b))". Fix that, to make the
macro work as intended.

While at it, fix up the comments regarding the additional "-", too.
It's not about gas' usage of s32 but brain dead logic of having a
"true" value of -1 for the &lt; operator ... *sigh*

Btw., the one in asm/alternative-asm.h is correct. And, apparently,
all current users of ALTERNATIVE_2() pass same sized alternatives,
avoiding to hit the bug.

<title>KVM: nVMX: fix guest CR4 loading when emulating L2 to L1 exit</title>

<id>6a92b9997028a1b223da940c2527fd8edccfceb5</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 8eb3f87d903168bdbd1222776a6b1e281f50513e upstream.

When KVM emulates an exit from L2 to L1, it loads L1 CR4 into the
guest CR4. Before this CR4 loading, the guest CR4 refers to L2
CR4. Because these two CR4's are in different levels of guest, we
should vmx_set_cr4() rather than kvm_set_cr4() here. The latter, which
is used to handle guest writes to its CR4, checks the guest change to
CR4 and may fail if the change is invalid.

The failure may cause trouble. Consider we start
  a L1 guest with non-zero L1 PCID in use,
     (i.e. L1 CR4.PCIDE == 1 &amp;&amp; L1 CR3.PCID != 0)
and
  a L2 guest with L2 PCID disabled,
     (i.e. L2 CR4.PCIDE == 0)
and following events may happen:

1. If kvm_set_cr4() is used in load_vmcs12_host_state() to load L1 CR4
   into guest CR4 (in VMCS01) for L2 to L1 exit, it will fail because
   of PCID check. As a result, the guest CR4 recorded in L0 KVM (i.e.
   vcpu-&gt;arch.cr4) is left to the value of L2 CR4.

2. Later, if L1 attempts to change its CR4, e.g., clearing VMXE bit,
   kvm_set_cr4() in L0 KVM will think L1 also wants to enable PCID,
   because the wrong L2 CR4 is used by L0 KVM as L1 CR4. As L1
   CR3.PCID != 0, L0 KVM will inject GP to L1 guest.

commit ca8eb05b5f332a9e1ab3e2ece498d49f4d683470 upstream.

The FPU emulator includes 2 calls to pr_err() which are triggered by
invalid instruction encodings for MIPSr6 cmp.cond.fmt instructions.
These cases are not kernel errors, merely invalid instructions which are
already handled by delivering a SIGILL which will provide notification
that something failed in cases where that makes sense.

In cases where that SIGILL is somewhat expected &amp; being handled, for
example when crashme happens to generate one of the affected bad
encodings, the message is printed with no useful context about what
triggered it &amp; spams the kernel log for no good reason.

Remove the pr_err() calls to make crashme run silently &amp; treat the bad
encodings the same way we do others, with a SIGILL &amp; no further kernel
log output.

commit 0527873b29b077fc8e656acd63e1866b429fef55 upstream.

gcc-7 warns about some declarations that are more 'const' than necessary:

<title>MIPS: IRQ Stack: Unwind IRQ stack onto task stack</title>

[ Upstream commit db8466c581cca1a08b505f1319c3ecd246f16fa8 ]

When the separate IRQ stack was introduced, stack unwinding only
proceeded as far as the top of the IRQ stack, leading to kernel
backtraces being less useful, lacking the trace of what was interrupted.

Fix this by providing a means for the kernel to unwind the IRQ stack
onto the interrupted task stack. The processor state is saved to the
kernel task stack on interrupt. The IRQ_STACK_START macro reserves an
unsigned long at the top of the IRQ stack where the interrupted task
stack pointer can be saved. After the active stack is switched to the
IRQ stack, save the interrupted tasks stack pointer to the reserved
location.

Fix the stack unwinding code to look for the frame being the top of the
IRQ stack and if so get the next frame from the saved location. The
existing test does not work with the separate stack since the ra is no
longer pointed at ret_from_{irq,exception}.

The test to stop unwinding the stack 32 bytes from the top of a stack
must be modified to allow unwinding to continue up to the location of
the saved task stack pointer when on the IRQ stack. The low / high marks
of the stack are set depending on whether the sp is on an irq stack or
not.
