commit 0b38b5e1d0e2f361e418e05c179db05bb688bbd6 upstream.

When userspace executes a syscall or gets interrupted,
BEAR contains a kernel address when returning to userspace.
This make it pretty easy to figure out where the kernel is
mapped even with KASLR enabled. To fix this, add lpswe to
lowcore and always execute it there, so userspace sees only
the lowcore address of lpswe. For this we have to extend
both critical_cleanup and the SWITCH_ASYNC macro to also check
for lpswe addresses in lowcore.

Fixes: b2d24b97b2a9 ("s390/kernel: add support for kernel address space layout randomization (KASLR)")

Pull ARM DT and driver fixes from Arnd Bergmann:
 "For the devicetree files, there are a total of 20 patches, almost
  entirely for 32-bit machines:

   - The Allwinner/sun9i r40 SoC dtsi file contains a number of issues,
     both for correctness and for style that are addressed in separate
     patches. This causes most of the changed lines of the DT updates
     this time.

   - More Allwinner updates fixing the identification of the security
     system on sun8i/A33, a recent regression of the A83t ethernet, and
     a few board specific issues on the TBS-A711 macine.

   - Several bug fixes for OMAP dts files, most notably fixing the
     timings for the NAND flash on the Nokia N900 that regressed a while
     ago after the move to configuring them from DT. Some other OMAPs
     now set the correct dma limits on the L3 bus, and a regression fix
     addresses lost Ethernet on dm814x

   - One incorrect setting in the newly added Raspberry Pi Zero W that
     may cause issues with the SD card controller.

   - A missing property on the bcm2835 firmware node caused incorrect
     DMA settings.

   - An old bug on the oxnas platform causing spurious interrupts is
     finally addressed.

   - A regression on the Exynos Midas board broke the OLED panel power
     supply.

   - The i.MX6 phycore SoM specified the wrong voltage for the SoC, this
     is now set to the values from the datasheet.

   - Some 64-bit machines use a deprecated string to identify the PSCI
     firmware.

  There are also several small code fixes addressing mostly serious
  issues:

   - Fix the sunxi rsb bus access to no longer return incorrect data
     when mixing 8 and 16 bit I/O.

   - Fix a suspend/resume regression on the OMAP2+ lcdc from a missing
     quirk in the ti-sysc driver

   - Fix a NULL pointer access from a race in the fsl dpio driver

   - Fix a v5.5 regression in the exynos-chipid driver that caused an
     invalid error code probing the device on non-exynos platforms

   - Fix an out-of-bounds access in the AMD TEE driver"

The kconfig select causes build failues for SOC_VIRT config becaus
we are selecting lot of VIRTIO drivers without selecting all required
dependencies.

Better approach is to only select essential drivers from SOC_VIRT
config option and enable required VIRTIO drivers using defconfigs.

The kconfig select causes build failues for SOC_VIRT config becaus
we are selecting lot of VIRTIO drivers without selecting all required
dependencies.

Better approach is to only select essential drivers from SOC_VIRT
config option and enable required VIRTIO drivers using defconfigs.

The original single target IPI fastpath patch forgot to filter the
ICR destination shorthand field. Multicast IPI is not suitable for
this feature since wakeup the multiple sleeping vCPUs will extend
the interrupt disabled time, it especially worse in the over-subscribe
and VM has a little bit more vCPUs scenario. Let's narrow it down to
single target IPI.

Two VMs, each is 76 vCPUs, one running 'ebizzy -M', the other
running cyclictest on all vCPUs, w/ this patch, the avg score
of cyclictest can improve more than 5%. (pv tlb, pv ipi, pv
sched yield are disabled during testing to avoid the disturb).
