<title>MIPS: math-emu: Fix final emulation phase for certain instructions</title>

commit 409fcace9963c1e8d2cb0f7ac62e8b34d47ef979 upstream.

Fix final phase of &lt;CLASS|MADDF|MSUBF|MAX|MIN|MAXA|MINA&gt;.&lt;D|S&gt;
emulation. Provide proper generation of SIGFPE signal and updating
debugfs FP exception stats in cases of any exception flags set in
preceding phases of emulation.

CLASS.&lt;D|S&gt; instruction may generate "Unimplemented Operation" FP
exception. &lt;MADDF|MSUBF&gt;.&lt;D|S&gt; instructions may generate "Inexact",
"Unimplemented Operation", "Invalid Operation", "Overflow", and
"Underflow" FP exceptions. &lt;MAX|MIN|MAXA|MINA&gt;.&lt;D|S&gt; instructions
can generate "Unimplemented Operation" and "Invalid Operation" FP
exceptions.

The proper final processing of the cases when any FP exception
flag is set is achieved by replacing "break" statement with "goto
copcsr" statement. With such solution, this patch brings the final
phase of emulation of the above instructions consistent with the
one corresponding to the previously implemented emulation of other
related FPU instructions (ADD, SUB, etc.).

Fixes: 38db37ba069f ("MIPS: math-emu: Add support for the MIPS R6 CLASS FPU instruction")
Fixes: e24c3bec3e8e ("MIPS: math-emu: Add support for the MIPS R6 MADDF FPU instruction")
Fixes: 83d43305a1df ("MIPS: math-emu: Add support for the MIPS R6 MSUBF FPU instruction")

[ Upstream commit 46bea48ac241fe0b413805952dda74dd0c09ba8b ]

The kvm slabs can consume a significant amount of system memory
and indeed in our production environment we have observed that
a lot of machines are spending significant amount of memory that
can not be left as system memory overhead. Also the allocations
from these slabs can be triggered directly by user space applications
which has access to kvm and thus a buggy application can leak
such memory. So, these caches should be accounted to kmemcg.

<title>ARM: dma-mapping: disallow dma_get_sgtable() for non-kernel managed memory</title>

[ Upstream commit 916a008b4b8ecc02fbd035cfb133773dba1ff3d7 ]

dma_get_sgtable() tries to create a scatterlist table containing valid
struct page pointers for the coherent memory allocation passed in to it.

However, memory can be declared via dma_declare_coherent_memory(), or
via other reservation schemes which means that coherent memory is not
guaranteed to be backed by struct pages.  In such cases, the resulting
scatterlist table contains pointers to invalid pages, which causes
kernel oops later.

This patch adds detection of such memory, and refuses to create a
scatterlist table for such memory.

Reference SDM 30.3 INVVPID:

Protected Mode Exceptions
- #UD
  - If not in VMX operation.
  - If the logical processor does not support VPIDs (IA32_VMX_PROCBASED_CTLS2[37]=0).
  - If the logical processor supports VPIDs (IA32_VMX_PROCBASED_CTLS2[37]=1) but does
    not support the INVVPID instruction (IA32_VMX_EPT_VPID_CAP[32]=0).

So we should check both VPID enable bit in vmx exec control and INVVPID support bit
in vmx capability MSRs to enable VPID. This patch adds the guarantee to not enable
VPID if either INVVPID or single-context/all-context invalidation is not exposed in
vmx capability MSRs.

[ Upstream commit 24dccf83a121b8a4ad5c2ad383a8184ef6c266ee ]

After async pf setup successfully, there is a broadcast wakeup w/ special
token 0xffffffff which tells vCPU that it should wake up all processes
waiting for APFs though there is no real process waiting at the moment.

The async page present tracepoint print prematurely and fails to catch the
special token setup. This patch fixes it by moving the async page present
tracepoint after the special token setup.

Before patch:

qemu-system-x86-8499  [006] ...1  5973.473292: kvm_async_pf_ready: token 0x0 gva 0x0

After patch:

qemu-system-x86-8499  [006] ...1  5973.473292: kvm_async_pf_ready: token 0xffffffff gva 0x0

[ Upstream commit fb6c8198431311027c3434d4e94ab8bc040f7aea ]

Quoting from the Intel SDM, volume 3, section 28.3.3.4: Guidelines for
Use of the INVEPT Instruction:

If EPT was in use on a logical processor at one time with EPTP X, it
is recommended that software use the INVEPT instruction with the
"single-context" INVEPT type and with EPTP X in the INVEPT descriptor
before a VM entry on the same logical processor that enables EPT with
EPTP X and either (a) the "virtualize APIC accesses" VM-execution
control was changed from 0 to 1; or (b) the value of the APIC-access
address was changed.

In the nested case, the burden falls on L1, unless L0 enables EPT in
vmcs02 when L1 doesn't enable EPT in vmcs12.

<title>arm: kprobes: Align stack to 8-bytes in test code</title>

[ Upstream commit 974310d047f3c7788a51d10c8d255eebdb1fa857 ]

kprobes test cases need to have a stack that is aligned to an 8-byte
boundary because they call other functions (and the ARM ABI mandates
that alignment) and because test cases include 64-bit accesses to the
stack. Unfortunately, GCC doesn't ensure this alignment for inline
assembler and for the code in question seems to always misalign it by
pushing just the LR register onto the stack. We therefore need to
explicitly perform stack alignment at the start of each test case.

Without this fix, some test cases will generate alignment faults on
systems where alignment is enforced. Even if the kernel is configured to
handle these faults in software, triggering them is ugly. It also
exposes limitations in the fault handling code which doesn't cope with
writes to the stack. E.g. when handling this instruction

   strd r6, [sp, #-64]!

the fault handling code will write to a stack location below the SP
value at the point the fault occurred, which coincides with where the
exception handler has pushed the saved register context. This results in
corruption of those registers.
