commit a466ef76b815b86748d9870ef2a430af7b39c710 upstream.

Subject: x86/kexec: Avoid double free_page() upon do_kexec_load() failure

syzbot is reporting crashes after memory allocation failure inside
do_kexec_load() [1]. This is because free_transition_pgtable() is called
by both init_transition_pgtable() and machine_kexec_cleanup() when memory
allocation failed inside init_transition_pgtable().

Regarding 32bit code, machine_kexec_free_page_tables() is called by both
machine_kexec_alloc_page_tables() and machine_kexec_cleanup() when memory
allocation failed inside machine_kexec_alloc_page_tables().

Fix this by leaving the error handling to machine_kexec_cleanup()
(and optionally setting NULL after free_page()).

The BPF JIT uses a 'b &lt;disp&gt;(%r&lt;x&gt;)' instruction in the definition
of the sk_load_word and sk_load_half functions.

Add support for branch-on-condition instructions contained in the

The nospec-branch.c file is compiled without the gcc options to
generate expoline thunks. The return branch of the sysfs show
functions cpu_show_spectre_v1 and cpu_show_spectre_v2 is an indirect
branch as well. These need to be compiled with expolines.

Move the sysfs functions for spectre reporting to a separate file
and loose an '.' for one of the messages.

[ Upstream commit 23a4d7fd34856da8218c4cfc23dba7a6ec0a423a ]

The return from the ftrace_stub, _mcount, ftrace_caller and
return_to_handler functions is done with "br %r14" and "br %r1".
These are indirect branches as well and need to use execute
trampolines for CONFIG_EXPOLINE=y.

The ftrace_caller function is a special case as it returns to the
start of a function and may only use %r0 and %r1. For a pre z10
machine the standard execute trampoline uses a LARL + EX to do
this, but this requires *two* registers in the range %r1..%r15.
To get around this the 'br %r1' located in the lowcore is used,
then the EX instruction does not need an address register.
But the lowcore trick may only be used for pre z14 machines,
with noexec=on the mapping for the first page may not contain
instructions. The solution for that is an ALTERNATIVE in the
expoline THUNK generated by 'GEN_BR_THUNK %r1' to switch to
EXRL, this relies on the fact that a machine that supports
noexec=on has EXRL as well.

To be able to use the expoline branches in different assembler
files move the associated macros from entry.S to a new header
nospec-insn.h.

While we are at it make the macros a bit nicer to use.

files move the associated macros from entry.S to a new header
nospec-insn.h.

While we are at it make the macros a bit nicer to use.

[ Upstream commit fba9eb7946251d6e420df3bdf7bc45195be7be9a ]

Add a header with macros usable in assembler files to emit alternative
code sequences. It works analog to the alternatives for inline assmeblies
in C files, with the same restrictions and capabilities.
The syntax is

     ALTERNATIVE "&lt;default instructions sequence&gt;", \
		 "&lt;alternative instructions sequence&gt;", \
		 "&lt;features-bit&gt;"
and

     ALTERNATIVE_2 "&lt;default instructions sequence&gt;", \
		   "&lt;alternative instructions sqeuence #1&gt;", \
		   "&lt;feature-bit #1&gt;",
		   "&lt;alternative instructions sqeuence #2&gt;", \
		   "&lt;feature-bit #2&gt;"
