[ Upstream commit 51c100a651a471fcb8ead1ecc1224471eb0d61b9 ]

The software_node_get_parent() returned a pointer to the parent swnode,
but did not take a reference to it, leading the caller to put a reference
that was not taken. Take that reference now.

<title>Fix built-in early-load Intel microcode alignment</title>

commit f5ae2ea6347a308cfe91f53b53682ce635497d0d upstream.

Intel Software Developer's Manual, volume 3, chapter 9.11.6 says:

 "Note that the microcode update must be aligned on a 16-byte boundary
  and the size of the microcode update must be 1-KByte granular"

When early-load Intel microcode is loaded from initramfs, userspace tool
'iucode_tool' has already 16-byte aligned those microcode bits in that
initramfs image.  Image that was created something like this:

 iucode_tool --write-earlyfw=FOO.cpio microcode-files...

However, when early-load Intel microcode is loaded from built-in
firmware BLOB using CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE= kernel config option, that
16-byte alignment is not guaranteed.

Fix this by forcing all built-in firmware BLOBs to 16-byte alignment.

[ If we end up having other firmware with much bigger alignment
  requirements, we might need to introduce some method for the firmware
  to specify it, this is the minimal "just increase the alignment a bit
  to account for this one special case" patch    - Linus ]

[ Upstream commit 553671b7685972ca671da5f71cf6414b54376e13 ]

Some firmware images contain a comma, such as:
EXTRA_FIRMWARE "brcm/brcmfmac4334-sdio.samsung,gt-s7710.txt"
as Broadcom firmware simply tags the device tree compatible
string at the end of the firmware parameter file. And the
compatible string contains a comma.

This doesn't play well with gas:

drivers/base/firmware_loader/builtin/brcm/brcmfmac4334-sdio.samsung,gt-s7710.txt.gen.S: Assembler messages:
drivers/base/firmware_loader/builtin/brcm/brcmfmac4334-sdio.samsung,gt-s7710.txt.gen.S:4: Error: bad instruction `_fw_brcm_brcmfmac4334_sdio_samsung,gt_s7710_txt_bin:'

make[6]: *** [../scripts/Makefile.build:357: drivers/base/firmware_loader/builtin/brcm/brcmfmac4334-sdio.samsung,gt-s7710.txt.gen.o] Error 1

We need to get rid of the comma from the labels used by the
assembly stub generator.

Replacing a comma using GNU Make subst requires a helper
variable.

<title>driver core: platform: use the correct callback type for bus_find_device</title>

commit 492c88720d36eb662f9f10c1633f7726fbb07fc4 upstream.

platform_find_device_by_driver calls bus_find_device and passes
platform_match as the callback function. Casting the function to a
mismatching type trips indirect call Control-Flow Integrity (CFI) checking.

This change adds a callback function with the correct type and instead
of casting the function, explicitly casts the second parameter to struct
device_driver* as expected by platform_match.

<title>mm/memory_hotplug: fix try_offline_node()</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=2c91f8fc6c999fe10185d8ad99fda1759f662f70'/>
<id>2c91f8fc6c999fe10185d8ad99fda1759f662f70</id>
<content type='text'>
try_offline_node() is pretty much broken right now:

 - The node span is updated when onlining memory, not when adding it. We
   ignore memory that was mever onlined. Bad.

 - We touch possible garbage memmaps. The pfn_to_nid(pfn) can easily
   trigger a kernel panic. Bad for memory that is offline but also bad
   for subsection hotadd with ZONE_DEVICE, whereby the memmap of the
   first PFN of a section might contain garbage.

 - Sections belonging to mixed nodes are not properly considered.

As memory blocks might belong to multiple nodes, we would have to walk
all pageblocks (or at least subsections) within present sections.
However, we don't have a way to identify whether a memmap that is not
online was initialized (relevant for ZONE_DEVICE).  This makes things
more complicated.

Luckily, we can piggy pack on the node span and the nid stored in memory
blocks.  Currently, the node span is grown when calling
move_pfn_range_to_zone() - e.g., when onlining memory, and shrunk when
removing memory, before calling try_offline_node().  Sysfs links are
created via link_mem_sections(), e.g., during boot or when adding
memory.

If the node still spans memory or if any memory block belongs to the
nid, we don't set the node offline.  As memory blocks that span multiple
nodes cannot get offlined, the nid stored in memory blocks is reliable
enough (for such online memory blocks, the node still spans the memory).

Introduce for_each_memory_block() to efficiently walk all memory blocks.

Note: We will soon stop shrinking the ZONE_DEVICE zone and the node span
when removing ZONE_DEVICE memory to fix similar issues (access of
garbage memmaps) - until we have a reliable way to identify whether
these memmaps were properly initialized.  This implies later, that once
a node had ZONE_DEVICE memory, we won't be able to set a node offline -
which should be acceptable.

Since commit f1dd2cd13c4b ("mm, memory_hotplug: do not associate
hotadded memory to zones until online") memory that is added is not
assoziated with a zone/node (memmap not initialized).  The introducing
commit 60a5a19e7419 ("memory-hotplug: remove sysfs file of node")
already missed that we could have multiple nodes for a section and that
the zone/node span is updated when onlining pages, not when adding them.

I tested this by hotplugging two DIMMs to a memory-less and cpu-less
NUMA node.  The node is properly onlined when adding the DIMMs.  When
removing the DIMMs, the node is properly offlined.

<title>x86/bugs: Add ITLB_MULTIHIT bug infrastructure</title>

Some processors may incur a machine check error possibly resulting in an
unrecoverable CPU lockup when an instruction fetch encounters a TLB
multi-hit in the instruction TLB. This can occur when the page size is
changed along with either the physical address or cache type. The relevant
erratum can be found here:

   https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205195

There are other processors affected for which the erratum does not fully
disclose the impact.

This issue affects both bare-metal x86 page tables and EPT.

It can be mitigated by either eliminating the use of large pages or by
using careful TLB invalidations when changing the page size in the page
tables.

Just like Spectre, Meltdown, L1TF and MDS, a new bit has been allocated in
MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES (PSCHANGE_MC_NO) and will be set on CPUs which
are mitigated against this issue.

<title>x86/speculation/taa: Add sysfs reporting for TSX Async Abort</title>

Add the sysfs reporting file for TSX Async Abort. It exposes the
vulnerability and the mitigation state similar to the existing files for
the other hardware vulnerabilities.

Sysfs file path is:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/tsx_async_abort

There are no more active users of DEV_PM_QOS_MIN_FREQUENCY and
DEV_PM_QOS_MAX_FREQUENCY device PM QoS request types, so drop them
along with the code supporting them.

<title>drivers/base/memory.c: don't access uninitialized memmaps in soft_offline_page_store()</title>

<content type='text'>
Uninitialized memmaps contain garbage and in the worst case trigger kernel
BUGs, especially with CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING.  They should not get touched.

Right now, when trying to soft-offline a PFN that resides on a memory
block that was never onlined, one gets a misleading error with
CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING:

  :/# echo 5637144576 &gt; /sys/devices/system/memory/soft_offline_page
  [   23.097167] soft offline: 0x150000 page already poisoned

But the actual result depends on the garbage in the memmap.

soft_offline_page() can only work with online pages, it returns -EIO in
case of ZONE_DEVICE.  Make sure to only forward pages that are online
(iow, managed by the buddy) and, therefore, have an initialized memmap.

Add a check against pfn_to_online_page() and similarly return -EIO.
