commit be6577af0cef934ccb036445314072e8cb9217b9 upstream.

Stalls are quite frequent with recent kernels. I enabled
CONFIG_SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR and I caught the following stall:

watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s! [cc1:22803]

The code was stuck in this loop in d_alloc_parallel:

    4037d414:   0e 00 10 dc     ldd 0(r16),ret0
    4037d418:   c7 fc 5f ed     bb,&lt; ret0,1f,4037d414 &lt;d_alloc_parallel+0x384&gt;
    4037d41c:   08 00 02 40     nop

This is the inner loop of bit_spin_lock which is called by hlist_bl_unlock in
d_alloc_parallel:

static inline void bit_spin_lock(int bitnum, unsigned long *addr)
{
        /*
         * Assuming the lock is uncontended, this never enters
         * the body of the outer loop. If it is contended, then
         * within the inner loop a non-atomic test is used to
         * busywait with less bus contention for a good time to
         * attempt to acquire the lock bit.
         */
        preempt_disable();
#if defined(CONFIG_SMP) || defined(CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK)
        while (unlikely(test_and_set_bit_lock(bitnum, addr))) {
                preempt_enable();
                do {
                        cpu_relax();
                } while (test_bit(bitnum, addr));
                preempt_disable();
        }
#endif
        __acquire(bitlock);
}

After consideration, I realized that we must be losing bit unlocks.
Then, I noticed that we missed defining atomic64_set_release().
Adding this define fixes the stalls in bit operations.

[ Upstream commit 81e96851ea32deb2c921c870eecabf335f598aeb ]

The clang integrated assembler requires the 'cmp' instruction to
have a length prefix here:

arch/x86/math-emu/wm_sqrt.S:212:2: error: ambiguous instructions require an explicit suffix (could be 'cmpb', 'cmpw', or 'cmpl')
 cmp $0xffffffff,-24(%ebp)
 ^

Make this a 32-bit comparison, which it was clearly meant to be.

<title>x86/cpu: Move x86_cache_bits settings</title>

<id>9e53463c3d8cb77e4736dfcadf1a02e8767af948</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch is to fix the backport of the upstream patch:
cc51e5428ea5 x86/speculation/l1tf: Increase l1tf memory limit for Nehalem+

When this was backported to the 4.9 and 4.14 stable branches the line
+       c-&gt;x86_cache_bits = c-&gt;x86_phys_bits;
was applied in the wrong place, being added to the
identify_cpu_without_cpuid() function instead of the get_cpu_cap()
function which it was correctly applied to in the 4.4 backport.

This means that x86_cache_bits is not set correctly resulting in the
following warning due to the cache bits being left uninitalised (zero).

This patch is to fix the backport of the upstream patch:
cc51e5428ea5 x86/speculation/l1tf: Increase l1tf memory limit for Nehalem+

When this was backported to the 4.9 and 4.14 stable branches the line
+       c-&gt;x86_cache_bits = c-&gt;x86_phys_bits;
was applied in the wrong place, being added to the
identify_cpu_without_cpuid() function instead of the get_cpu_cap()
function which it was correctly applied to in the 4.4 backport.

This means that x86_cache_bits is not set correctly resulting in the
following warning due to the cache bits being left uninitalised (zero).

<title>arm64: ptrace: Override SPSR.SS when single-stepping is enabled</title>

commit 3a5a4366cecc25daa300b9a9174f7fdd352b9068 upstream.

Luis reports that, when reverse debugging with GDB, single-step does not
function as expected on arm64:

  | I've noticed, under very specific conditions, that a PTRACE_SINGLESTEP
  | request by GDB won't execute the underlying instruction. As a consequence,
  | the PC doesn't move, but we return a SIGTRAP just like we would for a
  | regular successful PTRACE_SINGLESTEP request.

The underlying problem is that when the CPU register state is restored
as part of a reverse step, the SPSR.SS bit is cleared and so the hardware
single-step state can transition to the "active-pending" state, causing
an unexpected step exception to be taken immediately if a step operation
is attempted.

In hindsight, we probably shouldn't have exposed SPSR.SS in the pstate
accessible by the GPR regset, but it's a bit late for that now. Instead,
simply prevent userspace from configuring the bit to a value which is
inconsistent with the TIF_SINGLESTEP state for the task being traced.

<title>MIPS: Fix build for LTS kernel caused by backporting lpj adjustment</title>

Commit ed26aacfb5f71eecb20a ("mips: Add udelay lpj numbers adjustment")
has backported to 4.4~5.4, but the "struct cpufreq_freqs" (and also the
cpufreq notifier machanism) of 4.4~4.19 are different from the upstream
kernel. These differences cause build errors, and this patch can fix the
build.

commit 528a9539348a0234375dfaa1ca5dbbb2f8f8e8d2 upstream.

If the pmd is soft dirty we must mark the pte as soft dirty (and not dirty).
This fixes some cases for guest migration with huge page backings.
