commit 271e0c9dce1b02a825b3cc1a7aa1fab7c381d44b upstream.

This issue was first noticed when I was testing different kernels on
Oracle Linux 8 which as Fedora 30+ adopts BLS as default. Even though a
kernel entry was added successfully and the index of that kernel entry was
retrieved correctly, ktest still wouldn't reboot the system into
user-specified kernel.

The bug was spotted in subroutine reboot_to where the if-statement never
checks for REBOOT_TYPE "grub2bls", therefore the desired entry will not be
set for the next boot.

Add a check for "grub2bls" so that $grub_reboot $grub_number can
be run before a reboot if REBOOT_TYPE is "grub2bls" then we can boot to
the correct kernel.

<title>x86/uprobes: Do not use prefixes.nbytes when looping over prefixes.bytes</title>

commit 4e9a5ae8df5b3365183150f6df49e49dece80d8c upstream.

Since insn.prefixes.nbytes can be bigger than the size of
insn.prefixes.bytes[] when a prefix is repeated, the proper check must
be

  insn.prefixes.bytes[i] != 0 and i &lt; 4

instead of using insn.prefixes.nbytes.

Introduce a for_each_insn_prefix() macro for this purpose. Debugged by
Kees Cook &lt;keescook@chromium.org&gt;.

Fix die_entrypc() to return error correctly if the DIE has no
DW_AT_ranges attribute. Since dwarf_ranges() will treat the case as an
empty ranges and return 0, we have to check it by ourselves.

<title>perf stat: Use proper cpu for shadow stats</title>

[ Upstream commit c0ee1d5ae8c8650031badcfca6483a28c0f94f38 ]

Currently perf stat shows some metrics (like IPC) for defined events.
But when no aggregation mode is used (-A option), it shows incorrect
values since it used a value from a different cpu.

Before:

  $ perf stat -aA -e cycles,instructions sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

  CPU0      116,057,380      cycles
  CPU1       86,084,722      cycles
  CPU2       99,423,125      cycles
  CPU3       98,272,994      cycles
  CPU0       53,369,217      instructions      #    0.46  insn per cycle
  CPU1       33,378,058      instructions      #    0.29  insn per cycle
  CPU2       58,150,086      instructions      #    0.50  insn per cycle
  CPU3       40,029,703      instructions      #    0.34  insn per cycle

       1.001816971 seconds time elapsed

So the IPC for CPU1 should be 0.38 (= 33,378,058 / 86,084,722)
but it was 0.29 (= 33,378,058 / 116,057,380) and so on.

After:

  $ perf stat -aA -e cycles,instructions sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

  CPU0      109,621,384      cycles
  CPU1      159,026,454      cycles
  CPU2       99,460,366      cycles
  CPU3      124,144,142      cycles
  CPU0       44,396,706      instructions      #    0.41  insn per cycle
  CPU1      120,195,425      instructions      #    0.76  insn per cycle
  CPU2       44,763,978      instructions      #    0.45  insn per cycle
  CPU3       69,049,079      instructions      #    0.56  insn per cycle

       1.001910444 seconds time elapsed

[ Upstream commit b0e5a05cc9e37763c7f19366d94b1a6160c755bc ]

When execute command "perf lock report", it hits failure and outputs log
as follows:

  perf: builtin-lock.c:623: report_lock_release_event: Assertion `!(seq-&gt;read_count &lt; 0)' failed.
  Aborted

This is an imbalance issue.  The locking sequence structure
"lock_seq_stat" contains the reader counter and it is used to check if
the locking sequence is balance or not between acquiring and releasing.

If the tool wrongly frees "lock_seq_stat" when "read_count" isn't zero,
the "read_count" will be reset to zero when allocate a new structure at
the next time; thus it causes the wrong counting for reader and finally
results in imbalance issue.

To fix this issue, if detects "read_count" is not zero (means still have
read user in the locking sequence), goto the "end" tag to skip freeing
structure "lock_seq_stat".

[ Upstream commit df11f7dd5834146defa448acba097e8d7703cc42 ]

Fix the layout of 'struct desc64' to match the layout described in the
SDM Vol 3, Chapter 3 "Protected-Mode Memory Management", section 3.4.5
"Segment Descriptors", Figure 3-8 "Segment Descriptor".  The test added
later in this series relies on this and crashes if this layout is not
correct.

commit 89a83a0c69c81a25ce91002b90ca27ed86132a0a upstream.

Add a test modelled on the RFI flush test which counts the number
of L1D misses doing a simple syscall with the entry flush on and off.

For simplicity of backporting, this test duplicates a lot of code from
the upstream rfi_flush. This is cleaned up upstream, but we don't clean
it up here because it would involve bringing in even more commits.
