<content type='text'>
Correct a trinity finding for the perf_event_open() system call with
a perf event attribute structure that uses a frequency but has the
sampling frequency set to zero.  This causes a FP divide exception during
the sample rate initialization for the hardware sampling facility.

The BPF JIT uses a 'b &lt;disp&gt;(%r&lt;x&gt;)' instruction in the definition
of the sk_load_word and sk_load_half functions.

Add support for branch-on-condition instructions contained in the
thunk code of an expoline.

The nospec-branch.c file is compiled without the gcc options to
generate expoline thunks. The return branch of the sysfs show
functions cpu_show_spectre_v1 and cpu_show_spectre_v2 is an indirect
branch as well. These need to be compiled with expolines.

Move the sysfs functions for spectre reporting to a separate file
and loose an '.' for one of the messages.

<content type='text'>
The return from the ftrace_stub, _mcount, ftrace_caller and
return_to_handler functions is done with "br %r14" and "br %r1".
These are indirect branches as well and need to use execute
trampolines for CONFIG_EXPOLINE=y.

The ftrace_caller function is a special case as it returns to the
start of a function and may only use %r0 and %r1. For a pre z10
machine the standard execute trampoline uses a LARL + EX to do
this, but this requires *two* registers in the range %r1..%r15.
To get around this the 'br %r1' located in the lowcore is used,
then the EX instruction does not need an address register.
But the lowcore trick may only be used for pre z14 machines,
with noexec=on the mapping for the first page may not contain
instructions. The solution for that is an ALTERNATIVE in the
expoline THUNK generated by 'GEN_BR_THUNK %r1' to switch to
EXRL, this relies on the fact that a machine that supports
noexec=on has EXRL as well.

The main linker script vmlinux.lds.S for the kernel image merges
the expoline code patch tables into two section ".nospec_call_table"
and ".nospec_return_table". This is *not* done for the modules,
there the sections retain their original names as generated by gcc:
".s390_indirect_call", ".s390_return_mem" and ".s390_return_reg".

The module_finalize code has to check for the compiler generated
section names, otherwise no code patching is done. This slows down
the module code in case of "spectre_v2=off".

In a multi-threaded program any thread can call execve(). If this
is not done by the thread group leader, the de_thread() function
replaces the pid of the task that calls execve() with the pid of
thread group leader. If the task reaches user space again without
going over __switch_to() the sampling tag is still set to the old
pid.

Define the arch_setup_new_exec function to verify the task pid
and udpate the tag with LPP if it has changed.
