commit 02d029a41dc986e2d5a77ecca45803857b346829 upstream.

perf_init_event tries multiple init callbacks and does not reset the
event state between tries. When x86_pmu_event_init runs, it
unconditionally sets the destroy callback to hw_perf_event_destroy. On
the next init attempt after x86_pmu_event_init, in perf_try_init_event,
if the pmu's capabilities includes PERF_PMU_CAP_NO_EXCLUDE, the destroy
callback will be run. However, if the next init didn't set the destroy
callback, hw_perf_event_destroy will be run (since the callback wasn't
reset).

Looking at other pmu init functions, the common pattern is to only set
the destroy callback on a successful init. Resetting the callback on
failure tries to replicate that pattern.

This was discovered after commit f11dd0d80555 ("perf/x86/amd/ibs: Extend
PERF_PMU_CAP_NO_EXCLUDE to IBS Op") when the second (and only second)
run of the perf tool after a reboot results in 0 samples being
generated. The extra run of hw_perf_event_destroy results in
active_events having an extra decrement on each perf run. The second run
has active_events == 0 and every subsequent run has active_events &lt; 0.
When active_events == 0, the NMI handler will early-out and not record
any samples.

[ Upstream commit e1fc1553cd78292ab3521c94c9dd6e3e70e606a1 ]

Intel PMU MSRs is in msrs_to_save_all[], so add AMD PMU MSRs to have a
consistent behavior between Intel and AMD when using KVM_GET_MSRS,
KVM_SET_MSRS or KVM_GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST.

We have to add legacy and new MSRs to handle guests running without
X86_FEATURE_PERFCTR_CORE.

[ Upstream commit d8b1e10a2b8efaf71d151aa756052fbf2f3b6d57 ]

Guenter reported [1] that the pci_iounmap() changes remain problematic,
with sparc64 allnoconfig and tinyconfig still not building due to the
header file changes and confusion with the arch-specific pci_iounmap()
implementation.

I'm pretty convinced that sparc should just use GENERIC_IOMAP instead of
doing its own thing, since it turns out that the sparc64 version of
pci_iounmap() is somewhat buggy (see [2]).  But in the meantime, this
just fixes the build by avoiding the trivial re-definition of the empty
case.

<title>arm64: dts: marvell: armada-37xx: Extend PCIe MEM space</title>

commit 514ef1e62d6521c2199d192b1c71b79d2aa21d5a upstream.

Current PCIe MEM space of size 16 MB is not enough for some combination
of PCIe cards (e.g. NVMe disk together with ath11k wifi card). ARM Trusted
Firmware for Armada 3700 platform already assigns 128 MB for PCIe window,
so extend PCIe MEM space to the end of 128 MB PCIe window which allows to
allocate more PCIe BARs for more PCIe cards.

Without this change some combination of PCIe cards cannot be used and
kernel show error messages in dmesg during initialization:

    pci 0000:00:00.0: BAR 8: no space for [mem size 0x01800000]
    pci 0000:00:00.0: BAR 8: failed to assign [mem size 0x01800000]

    pci 0000:03:00.0: BAR 0: failed to assign [mem size 0x01000000 64bit]

Due to bugs in U-Boot port for Turris Mox, the second range in Turris Mox
kernel DTS file for PCIe must start at 16 MB offset. Otherwise U-Boot
crashes during loading of kernel DTB file. This bug is present only in
U-Boot code for Turris Mox and therefore other Armada 3700 devices are not
affected by this bug. Bug is fixed in U-Boot version 2021.07.

To not break booting new kernels on existing versions of U-Boot on Turris
Mox, use first 16 MB range for IO and second range with rest of PCIe window
for MEM.

[ Upstream commit 35a3f4ef0ab543daa1725b0c963eb8c05e3376f8 ]

Some drivers pass a pointer to volatile data to virt_to_bus() and

results in a number of compile errors such as

	passing argument 1 of 'virt_to_bus' discards 'volatile'

[ Upstream commit 9fcb2e93f41c07a400885325e7dbdfceba6efaec ]

__stack_chk_guard is setup once while init stage and never changed
after that.

Although the modification of this variable at runtime will usually
cause the kernel to crash (so does the attacker), it should be marked
as __ro_after_init, and it should not affect performance if it is
placed in the ro_after_init section.

[ Upstream commit 90cc7bed1ed19f869ae7221a6b41887fe762a6a3 ]

Use absolute_pointer() wrapper for PAGE0 to avoid this compiler warning:

  arch/parisc/kernel/setup.c: In function 'start_parisc':
  error: '__builtin_memcmp_eq' specified bound 8 exceeds source size 0

<title>sparc: avoid stringop-overread errors</title>

[ Upstream commit fc7c028dcdbfe981bca75d2a7b95f363eb691ef3 ]

The sparc mdesc code does pointer games with 'struct mdesc_hdr', but
didn't describe to the compiler how that header is then followed by the
data that the header describes.

As a result, gcc is now unhappy since it does stricter pointer range
tracking, and doesn't understand about how these things work.  This
results in various errors like:

    arch/sparc/kernel/mdesc.c: In function ‘mdesc_node_by_name’:
    arch/sparc/kernel/mdesc.c:647:22: error: ‘strcmp’ reading 1 or more bytes from a region of size 0 [-Werror=stringop-overread]
      647 |                 if (!strcmp(names + ep[ret].name_offset, name))
          |                      ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

which are easily avoided by just describing 'struct mdesc_hdr' better,
and making the node_block() helper function look into that unsized
data[] that follows the header.

This makes the sparc64 build happy again at least for my cross-compiler
version (gcc version 11.2.1).
