[ Upstream commit d46c4c839c20a599a0eb8d73708ce401f9c7d06d ]

Commit 03f1444016b7 ("PM: sleep: Fix handling devices with direct_complete
set on errors") caused power.is_suspended to be set for devices with
power.direct_complete set, but it forgot to ensure the clearing of that
flag for them in device_resume(), so power.is_suspended is still set for
them during the next system suspend-resume cycle.

If that cycle is aborted in dpm_suspend(), the subsequent invocation of
dpm_resume() will trigger a device_resume() call for every device and
because power.is_suspended is set for the devices in question, they will
not be skipped by device_resume() as expected which causes scary error
messages to be logged (as appropriate).

To address this issue, move the clearing of power.is_suspended in
device_resume() immediately after the power.is_suspended check so it
will be always cleared for all devices processed by that function.

Pull x86 ITS mitigation from Dave Hansen:
 "Mitigate Indirect Target Selection (ITS) issue.

  I'd describe this one as a good old CPU bug where the behavior is
  _obviously_ wrong, but since it just results in bad predictions it
  wasn't wrong enough to notice. Well, the researchers noticed and also
  realized that thus bug undermined a bunch of existing indirect branch
  mitigations.

  Thus the unusually wide impact on this one. Details:

  ITS is a bug in some Intel CPUs that affects indirect branches
  including RETs in the first half of a cacheline. Due to ITS such
  branches may get wrongly predicted to a target of (direct or indirect)
  branch that is located in the second half of a cacheline. Researchers
  at VUSec found this behavior and reported to Intel.

  Affected processors:

   - Cascade Lake, Cooper Lake, Whiskey Lake V, Coffee Lake R, Comet
     Lake, Ice Lake, Tiger Lake and Rocket Lake.

  Scope of impact:

   - Guest/host isolation:

     When eIBRS is used for guest/host isolation, the indirect branches
     in the VMM may still be predicted with targets corresponding to
     direct branches in the guest.

   - Intra-mode using cBPF:

     cBPF can be used to poison the branch history to exploit ITS.
     Realigning the indirect branches and RETs mitigates this attack
     vector.

   - User/kernel:

     With eIBRS enabled user/kernel isolation is *not* impacted by ITS.

   - Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier (IBPB):

     Due to this bug indirect branches may be predicted with targets
     corresponding to direct branches which were executed prior to IBPB.
     This will be fixed in the microcode.

  Mitigation:

  As indirect branches in the first half of cacheline are affected, the
  mitigation is to replace those indirect branches with a call to thunk that
  is aligned to the second half of the cacheline.

  RETs that take prediction from RSB are not affected, but they may be
  affected by RSB-underflow condition. So, RETs in the first half of
  cacheline are also patched to a return thunk that executes the RET aligned
  to second half of cacheline"

Indirect Target Selection (ITS) is a bug in some pre-ADL Intel CPUs with
eIBRS. It affects prediction of indirect branch and RETs in the
lower half of cacheline. Due to ITS such branches may get wrongly predicted
to a target of (direct or indirect) branch that is located in the upper
half of the cacheline.

Scope of impact
===============

Guest/host isolation
--------------------
When eIBRS is used for guest/host isolation, the indirect branches in the
VMM may still be predicted with targets corresponding to branches in the
guest.

Intra-mode
----------
cBPF or other native gadgets can be used for intra-mode training and
disclosure using ITS.

User/kernel isolation
---------------------
When eIBRS is enabled user/kernel isolation is not impacted.

Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier (IBPB)
-----------------------------------------
After an IBPB, indirect branches may be predicted with targets
corresponding to direct branches which were executed prior to IBPB. This is
mitigated by a microcode update.

Add cmdline parameter indirect_target_selection=off|on|force to control the
mitigation to relocate the affected branches to an ITS-safe thunk i.e.
located in the upper half of cacheline. Also add the sysfs reporting.

When retpoline mitigation is deployed, ITS safe-thunks are not needed,
because retpoline sequence is already ITS-safe. Similarly, when call depth
tracking (CDT) mitigation is deployed (retbleed=stuff), ITS safe return
thunk is not used, as CDT prevents RSB-underflow.

To not overcomplicate things, ITS mitigation is not supported with
spectre-v2 lfence;jmp mitigation. Moreover, it is less practical to deploy
lfence;jmp mitigation on ITS affected parts anyways.

To avoid a race between the IOMMU probing thread and the device driver
async probing thread during configuration of the platform DMA, update
`platform_dma_configure()` to read `dev-&gt;driver` once and test if it's
NULL before using it. This ensures that we don't de-reference an invalid
platform driver pointer if the device driver is asynchronously bound
while configuring the DMA.

Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner:

 - For some reason we went from zero to three maintainers for HFS/HFS+
   in a matter of days. The lesson to learn from this might just be that
   we need to threaten code removal more often!?

 - Fix a regression introduced by enabling large folios for lage logical
   block sizes. This has caused issues for noref migration with large
   folios due to sleeping while in an atomic context.

   New sleeping variants of pagecache lookup helpers are introduced.
   These helpers take the folio lock instead of the mapping's private
   spinlock. The problematic users are converted to the sleeping
   variants and serialize against noref migration. Atomic users will
   bail on seeing the new BH_Migrate flag.

   This also shrinks the critical region of the mapping's private lock
   and the new blocking callers reduce contention on the spinlock for
   bdev mappings.

 - Fix two bugs in do_move_mount() when with MOVE_MOUNT_BENEATH. The
   first bug is using a mountpoint that is located on a mount we're not
   holding a reference to. The second bug is putting the mountpoint
   after we've called namespace_unlock() as it's no longer guaranteed
   that it does stay a mountpoint.

 - Remove a pointless call to vfs_getattr_nosec() in the devtmpfs code
   just to query i_mode instead of simply querying the inode directly.
   This also avoids lifetime issues for the dm code by an earlier bugfix
   this cycle that moved bdev_statx() handling into vfs_getattr_nosec().

 - Fix AT_FDCWD handling with getname_maybe_null() in the xattr code.

 - Fix a performance regression for files when multiple callers issue a
   close when it's not the last reference.

 - Remove a duplicate noinline annotation from pipe_clear_nowait().

Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner:

 - For some reason we went from zero to three maintainers for HFS/HFS+
   in a matter of days. The lesson to learn from this might just be that
   we need to threaten code removal more often!?

 - Fix a regression introduced by enabling large folios for lage logical
   block sizes. This has caused issues for noref migration with large
   folios due to sleeping while in an atomic context.

   New sleeping variants of pagecache lookup helpers are introduced.
   These helpers take the folio lock instead of the mapping's private
   spinlock. The problematic users are converted to the sleeping
   variants and serialize against noref migration. Atomic users will
   bail on seeing the new BH_Migrate flag.

   This also shrinks the critical region of the mapping's private lock
   and the new blocking callers reduce contention on the spinlock for
   bdev mappings.

   first bug is using a mountpoint that is located on a mount we're not
   holding a reference to. The second bug is putting the mountpoint

<title>devtmpfs: don't use vfs_getattr_nosec to query i_mode</title>

The recent move of the bdev_statx call to the low-level vfs_getattr_nosec
helper caused it being used by devtmpfs, which leads to deadlocks in
md teardown due to the block device lookup and put interfering with the
unusual lifetime rules in md.

But as handle_remove only works on inodes created and owned by devtmpfs
itself there is no need to use vfs_getattr_nosec vs simply reading the
mode from the inode directly.  Switch to that to avoid the bdev lookup
or any other unintentional side effect.

<title>drivers: base: handle module_kobject creation</title>

module_add_driver() relies on module_kset list for
/sys/module/&lt;built-in-module&gt;/drivers directory creation.

Since,
commit 96a1a2412acba ("kernel/params.c: defer most of param_sysfs_init() to late_initcall time")
drivers which are initialized from subsys_initcall() or any other
higher precedence initcall couldn't find the related kobject entry
in the module_kset list because module_kset is not fully populated
by the time module_add_driver() refers it. As a consequence,
module_add_driver() returns early without calling make_driver_name().
Therefore, /sys/module/&lt;built-in-module&gt;/drivers is never created.

Fix this issue by letting module_add_driver() handle module_kobject
creation itself.
