<title>x86/bugs: Don't fill RSB on VMEXIT with eIBRS+retpoline</title>

[ Upstream commit 18bae0dfec15b24ec14ca17dc18603372f5f254f ]

eIBRS protects against guest-&gt;host RSB underflow/poisoning attacks.
Adding retpoline to the mix doesn't change that.  Retpoline has a
balanced CALL/RET anyway.

So the current full RSB filling on VMEXIT with eIBRS+retpoline is
overkill.  Disable it or do the VMEXIT_LITE mitigation if needed.

[ Upstream commit 6c9567e0850be2f0f94ab64fa6512413fd1a1eb1 ]

Restricted pointers ("%pK") are not meant to be used through TP_format().
It can unintentionally expose security sensitive, raw pointer values.

Use regular pointer formatting instead.

[ Upstream commit e27fbe16af5cfc40639de4ced67d1a866a1953e9 ]

Some information that should be retrieved at runtime for the Coherence
Manager can be either absent or wrong. This patch allows checking if
some of this information is available from the device tree and updates
the internal variable accordingly.

For now, only the compatible string associated with the broken HCI is
being retrieved.

<title>powerpc/prom_init: Use -ffreestanding to avoid a reference to bcmp</title>

commit 8dcd71b45df34d9b903450fab147ee8c1e6c16b5 upstream.

LLVM revision r374662 gives LLVM the ability to convert certain loops
into a reference to bcmp as an optimization; this breaks
prom_init_check.sh:

    CALL    arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init_check.sh
  Error: External symbol 'bcmp' referenced from prom_init.c
  make[2]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/Makefile:196: prom_init_check] Error 1

bcmp is defined in lib/string.c as a wrapper for memcmp so this could
be added to the whitelist. However, commit
450e7dd4001f ("powerpc/prom_init: don't use string functions from
lib/") copied memcmp as prom_memcmp to avoid KASAN instrumentation so
having bcmp be resolved to regular memcmp would break that assumption.
Furthermore, because the compiler is the one that inserted bcmp, we
cannot provide something like prom_bcmp.

To prevent LLVM from being clever with optimizations like this, use
-ffreestanding to tell LLVM we are not hosted so it is not free to
make transformations like this.

<title>perf/x86/intel/uncore: Fix the scale of IIO free running counters on SNR</title>

commit 96a720db59ab330c8562b2437153faa45dac705f upstream.

There was a mistake in the SNR uncore spec. The counter increments for
every 32 bytes of data sent from the IO agent to the SOC, not 4 bytes
which was documented in the spec.

The event list has been updated:

  "EventName": "UNC_IIO_BANDWIDTH_IN.PART0_FREERUN",
  "BriefDescription": "Free running counter that increments for every 32
		       bytes of data sent from the IO agent to the SOC",

Update the scale of the IIO bandwidth in free running counters as well.
