commit 0a5191efe06b5103909206e4fbcff81d30283f8e upstream.

Since commit aef9a7bd9b67 ("serial/uart/8250: Add tunable RX interrupt
trigger I/F of FIFO buffers"), the port's default FCR value isn't used
in serial8250_do_set_termios anymore, but copied over once in
serial8250_config_port and then modified as needed.

Unfortunately, serial8250_config_port will never be called if the port
is shared between kernel and userspace, and the port's flag doesn't have
UPF_BOOT_AUTOCONF, which would trigger a serial8250_config_port as well.

This causes garbled output from userspace:

[    5.220000] random: procd urandom read with 49 bits of entropy available
ers
   [kee

Fix this by forcing it to be configured on boot, resulting in the
expected output:

[    5.250000] random: procd urandom read with 50 bits of entropy available
Press the [f] key and hit [enter] to enter failsafe mode
Press the [1], [2], [3] or [4] key and hit [enter] to select the debug level

commit 3f7d875566d8e79c5e0b2c9a413e91b2c29e0854 upstream.

The generated assembler for the C fill RSB inline asm operations has
several issues:

- The C code sets up the loop register, which is then immediately
  overwritten in __FILL_RETURN_BUFFER with the same value again.

- The C code also passes in the iteration count in another register, which
  is not used at all.

Remove these two unnecessary operations. Just rely on the single constant
passed to the macro for the iterations.

<title>kprobes/x86: Disable optimizing on the function jumps to indirect thunk</title>

commit c86a32c09f8ced67971a2310e3b0dda4d1749007 upstream.

Since indirect jump instructions will be replaced by jump
to __x86_indirect_thunk_*, those jmp instruction must be
treated as an indirect jump. Since optprobe prohibits to
optimize probes in the function which uses an indirect jump,
it also needs to find out the function which jump to
__x86_indirect_thunk_* and disable optimization.

Add a check that the jump target address is between the
__indirect_thunk_start/end when optimizing kprobe.

including blacklist functions of kprobes.

commit 736e80a4213e9bbce40a7c050337047128b472ac upstream.

Introduce start/end markers of __x86_indirect_thunk_* functions.
To make it easy, consolidate .text.__x86.indirect_thunk.* sections
to one .text.__x86.indirect_thunk section and put it in the
end of kernel text section and adds __indirect_thunk_start/end
so that other subsystem (e.g. kprobes) can identify it.

commit 6f41c34d69eb005e7848716bbcafc979b35037d5 upstream.

The machine check idtentry uses an indirect branch directly from the low
level code. This evades the speculation protection.

Replace it by a direct call into C code and issue the indirect call there
so the compiler can apply the proper speculation protection.

commit 694d99d40972f12e59a3696effee8a376b79d7c8 upstream.

AMD processors are not subject to the types of attacks that the kernel
page table isolation feature protects against.  The AMD microarchitecture
does not allow memory references, including speculative references, that
access higher privileged data when running in a lesser privileged mode
when that access would result in a page fault.

Disable page table isolation by default on AMD processors by not setting
the X86_BUG_CPU_INSECURE feature, which controls whether X86_FEATURE_PTI
is set.

commit acfb3b883f6d6a4b5d27ad7fdded11f6a09ae6dd upstream.

KVM doesn't follow the SMCCC when it comes to unimplemented calls,
and inject an UNDEF instead of returning an error. Since firmware
calls are now used for security mitigation, they are becoming more
common, and the undef is counter productive.

Instead, let's follow the SMCCC which states that -1 must be returned
to the caller when getting an unknown function number.

commit 56aeb07c914a616ab84357d34f8414a69b140cdf upstream.

MPP7 is currently muxed as "gpio", but this function doesn't exist for
MPP7, only "gpo" is available. This causes the following error:

kirkwood-pinctrl f1010000.pin-controller: unsupported function gpio on pin mpp7
pinctrl core: failed to register map default (6): invalid type given
kirkwood-pinctrl f1010000.pin-controller: error claiming hogs: -22
kirkwood-pinctrl f1010000.pin-controller: could not claim hogs: -22
kirkwood-pinctrl f1010000.pin-controller: unable to register pinctrl driver
kirkwood-pinctrl: probe of f1010000.pin-controller failed with error -22

So the pinctrl driver is not probed, all device drivers (including the
UART driver) do a -EPROBE_DEFER, and therefore the system doesn't
really boot (well, it boots, but with no UART, and no devices that
require pin-muxing).

Back when the Device Tree file for this board was introduced, the
definition was already wrong. The pinctrl driver also always described
as "gpo" this function for MPP7. However, between Linux 4.10 and 4.11,
a hog pin failing to be muxed was turned from a simple warning to a
hard error that caused the entire pinctrl driver probe to bail
out. This is probably the result of commit 6118714275f0a ("pinctrl:
core: Fix pinctrl_register_and_init() with pinctrl_enable()").

This commit fixes the Device Tree to use the proper "gpo" function for
MPP7, which fixes the boot of OpenBlocks A7, which was broken since
Linux 4.11.

commit c13e7f313da33d1488355440f1a10feb1897480a upstream.

The DRM driver most notably, but also out of tree drivers (for now) like
the VPU or GPU drivers, are quite big consumers of large, contiguous memory
buffers. However, the sunxi_defconfig doesn't enable CMA in order to
mitigate that, which makes them almost unusable.

Enable it to make sure it somewhat works.
