[ Upstream commit 755a8bf5579d22eb5636685c516d8dede799e27b ]

If someone has the silly idea to write something along those lines:

	extern u64 foo(void);

	void bar(struct arm_smccc_res *res)
	{
		arm_smccc_1_1_smc(0xbad, foo(), res);
	}

they are in for a surprise, as this gets compiled as:

	0000000000000588 &lt;bar&gt;:
	 588:   a9be7bfd        stp     x29, x30, [sp, #-32]!
	 58c:   910003fd        mov     x29, sp
	 590:   f9000bf3        str     x19, [sp, #16]
	 594:   aa0003f3        mov     x19, x0
	 598:   aa1e03e0        mov     x0, x30
	 59c:   94000000        bl      0 &lt;_mcount&gt;
	 5a0:   94000000        bl      0 &lt;foo&gt;
	 5a4:   aa0003e1        mov     x1, x0
	 5a8:   d4000003        smc     #0x0
	 5ac:   b4000073        cbz     x19, 5b8 &lt;bar+0x30&gt;
	 5b0:   a9000660        stp     x0, x1, [x19]
	 5b4:   a9010e62        stp     x2, x3, [x19, #16]
	 5b8:   f9400bf3        ldr     x19, [sp, #16]
	 5bc:   a8c27bfd        ldp     x29, x30, [sp], #32
	 5c0:   d65f03c0        ret
	 5c4:   d503201f        nop

The call to foo "overwrites" the x0 register for the return value,
and we end up calling the wrong secure service.

A solution is to evaluate all the parameters before assigning
anything to specific registers, leading to the expected result:

	0000000000000588 &lt;bar&gt;:
	 588:   a9be7bfd        stp     x29, x30, [sp, #-32]!
	 58c:   910003fd        mov     x29, sp
	 590:   f9000bf3        str     x19, [sp, #16]
	 594:   aa0003f3        mov     x19, x0

[ Upstream commit 1d8f574708a3fb6f18c85486d0c5217df893c0cf ]

An unfortunate consequence of having a strong typing for the input
values to the SMC call is that it also affects the type of the
return values, limiting r0 to 32 bits and r{1,2,3} to whatever
was passed as an input.

Let's turn everything into "unsigned long", which satisfies the
requirements of both architectures, and allows for the full
range of return values.

commit 8e2906245f1e3b0d027169d9f2e55ce0548cb96e upstream.

In order for the kernel to protect itself, let's call the SSBD mitigation
implemented by the higher exception level (either hypervisor or firmware)
on each transition between userspace and kernel.

We must take the PSCI conduit into account in order to target the
right exception level, hence the introduction of a runtime patching
callback.

commit eff0e9e1078ea7dc1d794dc50e31baef984c46d7 upstream.

We've so far used the PSCI return codes for SMCCC because they
were extremely similar. But with the new ARM DEN 0070A specification,
"NOT_REQUIRED" (-2) is clashing with PSCI's "PSCI_RET_INVALID_PARAMS".

Let's bite the bullet and add SMCCC specific return codes. Users
can be repainted as and when required.

Commit f2d3b2e8759a upstream.

One of the major improvement of SMCCC v1.1 is that it only clobbers
the first 4 registers, both on 32 and 64bit. This means that it
becomes very easy to provide an inline version of the SMC call
primitive, and avoid performing a function call to stash the
registers that would otherwise be clobbered by SMCCC v1.0.

Commit ded4c39e93f3 upstream.

Function identifiers are a 32bit, unsigned quantity. But we never
tell so to the compiler, resulting in the following:

 4ac:   b26187e0        mov     x0, #0xffffffff80000001

We thus rely on the firmware narrowing it for us, which is not
always a reasonable expectation.

Commit 6167ec5c9145 upstream.

A new feature of SMCCC 1.1 is that it offers firmware-based CPU
workarounds. In particular, SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 provides
BP hardening for CVE-2017-5715.

If the host has some mitigation for this issue, report that
we deal with it using SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1, as we apply the
host workaround on every guest exit.

Commit 09e6be12effd upstream.

The new SMC Calling Convention (v1.1) allows for a reduced overhead
when calling into the firmware, and provides a new feature discovery
mechanism.

Make it visible to KVM guests.

Commit 680a0873e193 ("arm: kernel: Add SMC structure parameter") added
a new "quirk" parameter to the SMC and HVC SMCCC backends, but only
updated the comment for the SMC version. This patch adds the new
paramater to the comment describing the HVC version too.

<title>firmware: qcom: scm: Fix interrupted SCM calls</title>

This patch adds a Qualcomm specific quirk to the arm_smccc_smc call.

On Qualcomm ARM64 platforms, the SMC call can return before it has
completed.  If this occurs, the call can be restarted, but it requires
using the returned session ID value from the interrupted SMC call.

The quirk stores off the session ID from the interrupted call in the
quirk structure so that it can be used by the caller.

This patch folds in a fix given by Sricharan R:
