commit f2f29da9f0d4367f6ff35e0d9d021257bb53e273 upstream.

While debugging kexec/hibernation hangs and crashes, it turned out that
the current implementation of e820__register_nosave_regions() suffers from
multiple serious issues:

 - The end of last region is tracked by PFN, causing it to find holes
   that aren't there if two consecutive subpage regions are present

 - The nosave PFN ranges derived from holes are rounded out (instead of
   rounded in) which makes it inconsistent with how explicitly reserved
   regions are handled

Fix this by:

 - Treating reserved regions as if they were holes, to ensure consistent
   handling (rounding out nosave PFN ranges is more correct as the
   kernel does not use partial pages)

 - Tracking the end of the last RAM region by address instead of pages
   to detect holes more precisely

These bugs appear to have been introduced about ~18 years ago with the very
first version of e820_mark_nosave_regions(), and its flawed assumptions were
carried forward uninterrupted through various waves of rewrites and renames.

[ mingo: Added Git archeology details, for kicks and giggles. ]

<title>arm64: errata: Add newer ARM cores to the spectre_bhb_loop_affected() lists</title>

commit a5951389e58d2e816eed3dbec5877de9327fd881 upstream.

When comparing to the ARM list [1], it appears that several ARM cores
were missing from the lists in spectre_bhb_loop_affected(). Add them.

NOTE: for some of these cores it may not matter since other ways of
clearing the BHB may be used (like the CLRBHB instruction or ECBHB),
but it still seems good to have all the info from ARM's whitepaper
included.

commit 991a20173a1fbafd9fc0df0c7e17bb62d44a4deb upstream.

The kernel build may fail if the linker does not support -no-pie option,
as it always included in LDFLAGS_vmlinux.

Error log:
s390-linux-ld: unable to disambiguate: -no-pie (did you mean --no-pie ?)

Although the GNU linker defaults to -no-pie, the ability to explicitly
specify this option was introduced in binutils 2.36.

Hence, fix it by adding -no-pie to LDFLAGS_vmlinux only when it is
available.

<title>s390/pci: Fix zpci_bus_is_isolated_vf() for non-VFs</title>

commit 8691abd3afaadd816a298503ec1a759df1305d2e upstream.

For non-VFs, zpci_bus_is_isolated_vf() should return false because they
aren't VFs. While zpci_iov_find_parent_pf() specifically checks if
a function is a VF, it then simply returns that there is no parent. The
simplistic check for a parent then leads to these functions being
confused with isolated VFs and isolating them on their own domain even
if sibling PFs should share the domain.

Fix this by explicitly checking if a function is not a VF. Note also
that at this point the case where RIDs are ignored is already handled
and in this case all PCI functions get isolated by being detected in
zpci_bus_is_multifunction_root().

<title>KVM: x86: Acquire SRCU in KVM_GET_MP_STATE to protect guest memory accesses</title>

commit ef01cac401f18647d62720cf773d7bb0541827da upstream.

Acquire a lock on kvm-&gt;srcu when userspace is getting MP state to handle a
rather extreme edge case where "accepting" APIC events, i.e. processing
pending INIT or SIPI, can trigger accesses to guest memory.  If the vCPU
is in L2 with INIT *and* a TRIPLE_FAULT request pending, then getting MP
state will trigger a nested VM-Exit by way of -&gt;check_nested_events(), and
emuating the nested VM-Exit can access guest memory.

The splat was originally hit by syzkaller on a Google-internal kernel, and
reproduced on an upstream kernel by hacking the triple_fault_event_test
selftest to stuff a pending INIT, store an MSR on VM-Exit (to generate a
memory access on VMX), and do vcpu_mp_state_get() to trigger the scenario.

commit bc52ae0a708cb6fa3926d11c88e3c55e1171b4a1 upstream.

Explicitly zero/empty-initialize the unions used for PMU related CPUID
entries, instead of manually zeroing all fields (hopefully), or in the
case of 0x80000022, relying on the compiler to clobber the uninitialized
bitfields.

<title>KVM: PPC: Enable CAP_SPAPR_TCE_VFIO on pSeries KVM guests</title>

commit b4392813bbc3b05fc01a33c64d8b8c6c62c32cfa upstream.

Currently on book3s-hv, the capability KVM_CAP_SPAPR_TCE_VFIO is only
available for KVM Guests running on PowerNV and not for the KVM guests
running on pSeries hypervisors. This prevents a pSeries L2 guest from
leveraging the in-kernel acceleration for H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT and
H_STUFF_TCE hcalls that results in slow startup times for large memory
guests.

Support for VFIO on pSeries was restored in commit f431a8cde7f1
("powerpc/iommu: Reimplement the iommu_table_group_ops for pSeries"),
making it possible to re-enable this capability on pSeries hosts.

This change enables KVM_CAP_SPAPR_TCE_VFIO for nested PAPR guests on
pSeries, while maintaining the existing behavior on PowerNV. Booting an
L2 guest with 128GB of memory shows an average 11% improvement in
startup time.

<title>x86/xen: fix balloon target initialization for PVH dom0</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 87af633689ce16ddb166c80f32b120e50b1295de upstream.

PVH dom0 re-uses logic from PV dom0, in which RAM ranges not assigned to
dom0 are re-used as scratch memory to map foreign and grant pages.  Such
logic relies on reporting those unpopulated ranges as RAM to Linux, and
mark them as reserved.  This way Linux creates the underlying page
structures required for metadata management.

Such approach works fine on PV because the initial balloon target is
calculated using specific Xen data, that doesn't take into account the
memory type changes described above.  However on HVM and PVH the initial
balloon target is calculated using get_num_physpages(), and that function
does take into account the unpopulated RAM regions used as scratch space
for remote domain mappings.

This leads to PVH dom0 having an incorrect initial balloon target, which
causes malfunction (excessive memory freeing) of the balloon driver if the
dom0 memory target is later adjusted from the toolstack.

Fix this by using xen_released_pages to account for any pages that are part
of the memory map, but are already unpopulated when the balloon driver is
initialized.  This accounts for any regions used for scratch remote
mappings.  Note on x86 xen_released_pages definition is moved to
enlighten.c so it's uniformly available for all Xen-enabled builds.

Take the opportunity to unify PV with PVH/HVM guests regarding the usage of
get_num_physpages(), as that avoids having to add different logic for PV vs
PVH in both balloon_add_regions() and arch_xen_unpopulated_init().

Much like a6aa4eb994ee, the code in this changeset should have been part of
38620fc4e893.

commit eb61ad14c459b54f71f76331ca35d12fa3eb8f98 upstream.

With commit 1a10a44dfc1d ("sparc64: implement the new page table range
API") set_ptes was added to the sparc architecture.  The implementation
included calling arch_enter/leave_lazy_mmu() calls.

The patch removes the usage of arch_enter/leave_lazy_mmu() since this
implies nesting of lazy mmu regions which is not supported.  Without this
fix, lazy mmu mode is effectively disabled because we exit the mode after
the first set_ptes:

remap_pte_range()
  -&gt; arch_enter_lazy_mmu()
  -&gt; set_ptes()
      -&gt; arch_enter_lazy_mmu()
      -&gt; arch_leave_lazy_mmu()
  -&gt; arch_leave_lazy_mmu()

Powerpc suffered the same problem and fixed it in a corresponding way with
commit 47b8def9358c ("powerpc/mm: Avoid calling
arch_enter/leave_lazy_mmu() in set_ptes").

<title>sparc/mm: disable preemption in lazy mmu mode</title>

commit a1d416bf9faf4f4871cb5a943614a07f80a7d70f upstream.

Since commit 38e0edb15bd0 ("mm/apply_to_range: call pte function with lazy
updates") it's been possible for arch_[enter|leave]_lazy_mmu_mode() to be
called without holding a page table lock (for the kernel mappings case),
and therefore it is possible that preemption may occur while in the lazy
mmu mode.  The Sparc lazy mmu implementation is not robust to preemption
since it stores the lazy mode state in a per-cpu structure and does not
attempt to manage that state on task switch.

Powerpc had the same issue and fixed it by explicitly disabling preemption
in arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode() and re-enabling in
arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode().  See commit b9ef323ea168 ("powerpc/64s:
Disable preemption in hash lazy mmu mode").

Given Sparc's lazy mmu mode is based on powerpc's, let's fix it in the
same way here.
