commit 500ba33284416255b9a5b50ace24470b6fe77ea5 upstream.

pm_domain_cpu_gov is selecting a cluster idle state but does not consider
latency tolerance of child CPUs. This results in deeper cluster idle state
whose latency does not meet latency tolerance requirement.

Select deeper idle state only if global and device latency tolerance of all
child CPUs meet.

Test results on SM8750 with 300 usec PM-QoS on CPU0 which is less than
domain idle state entry (2150) + exit (1983) usec latency mentioned in
devicetree, demonstrate the issue.

<title>PM: runtime: fix denying of auto suspend in pm_suspend_timer_fn()</title>

[ Upstream commit 40d3b40dce375d6f1c1dbf08d79eed3aed6c691d ]

pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() schedules a hrtimer to expire
at "dev-&gt;power.timer_expires". If the hrtimer's callback,
pm_suspend_timer_fn(), observes that the current time equals
"dev-&gt;power.timer_expires", it unexpectedly bails out instead of
proceeding with runtime suspend.

pm_suspend_timer_fn():

 if (expires &gt; 0 &amp;&amp; expires &lt; ktime_get_mono_fast_ns()) {
 	dev-&gt;power.timer_expires = 0;
 	rpm_suspend(..)
 }

Additionally, as -&gt;timer_expires is not cleared, all the future auto
suspend requests will not schedule hrtimer to perform auto suspend.

rpm_suspend():

 if ((rpmflags &amp; RPM_AUTO) &amp;&amp;...) {
 	if (!(dev-&gt;power.timer_expires &amp;&amp; ...) { &lt;-- this will fail.
 		hrtimer_start_range_ns(&amp;dev-&gt;power.suspend_timer,...);
 	}
 }

Fix this by as well checking if current time reaches the set expiration.

The error checking for of_count_phandle_with_args() does not handle
negative error codes correctly.  The problem is that "index" is a u32 so
in the condition "if (index &gt;= num_domains)" negative error codes stored
in "num_domains" are type promoted to very high positive values and
"index" is always going to be valid.

Test for negative error codes first and then test if "index" is valid.

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.

<title>x86/its: Enable Indirect Target Selection mitigation</title>

<id>f7ef7f6ccf2bc3909ef5e50cbe9edf2bac71e1bd</id>
<content type='text'>
commit f4818881c47fd91fcb6d62373c57c7844e3de1c0 upstream.

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.

commit f4818881c47fd91fcb6d62373c57c7844e3de1c0 upstream.

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.

[ Upstream commit f95bbfe18512c5c018720468959edac056a17196 ]

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.

commit 18daa52418e7e4629ed1703b64777294209d2622 upstream.

If userspace reads "uevent" device attribute at the same time as another
threads unbinds the device from its driver, change to dev-&gt;driver from a
valid pointer to NULL may result in crash. Fix this by using READ_ONCE()
when fetching the pointer, and take bus' drivers klist lock to make sure
driver instance will not disappear while we access it.

Use WRITE_ONCE() when setting the driver pointer to ensure there is no
tearing.

commit 04d3e5461c1f5cf8eec964ab64948ebed826e95e upstream.

In preparation to closing a race when reading driver pointer in
dev_uevent() code, instead of setting device-&gt;driver pointer directly
introduce device_set_driver() helper.
