Only the mount namespace code that implements mount(2) should be using the
MS_* flags.  Suppress them inside the kernel unless uapi/linux/mount.h is
included.

Peter Anvin pointed out that commit:

  ae7e1238e68f2a ("x86/boot: Add ACPI RSDP address to setup_header")

should be reverted as setup_header should only contain items set by the
legacy BIOS.

So revert said commit. Instead of fully reverting the dependent commit
of:

  e7b66d16fe4172 ("x86/acpi, x86/boot: Take RSDP address for boot params if available")

just remove the setup_header reference in order to replace it by
a boot_params in a followup patch.

<content type='text'>
Xen PVH guests receive the address of the RSDP table from Xen. In order
to support booting a Xen PVH guest via Grub2 using the standard x86
boot entry we need a way for Grub2 to pass the RSDP address to the
kernel.

For this purpose expand the struct setup_header to hold the physical
address of the RSDP address. Being zero means it isn't specified and
has to be located the legacy way (searching through low memory or
EBDA).

While documenting the new setup_header layout and protocol version
2.14 add the missing documentation of protocol version 2.13.

There are Grub2 versions in several distros with a downstream patch
violating the boot protocol by writing past the end of setup_header.
This requires another update of the boot protocol to enable the kernel
to distinguish between a specified RSDP address and one filled with
garbage by such a broken Grub2.

From protocol 2.14 on Grub2 will write the version it is supporting
(but never a higher value than found to be supported by the kernel)
ored with 0x8000 to the version field of setup_header. This enables
the kernel to know up to which field Grub2 has written information
to. All fields after that are supposed to be clobbered.

On the problematic 32bit system, there are reserved memory above low

Fix this problem by changing pfn limit from max_low_pfn to max_pfn.
This fix does not impact 64bit system because on 64bit max_low_pfn
is the same as max_pfn.

max_low_pfn and max_pfn are not excluded from hibernation snapshot
currently, which may result in a machine check exception when

Merge L1 Terminal Fault fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "L1TF, aka L1 Terminal Fault, is yet another speculative hardware
  engineering trainwreck. It's a hardware vulnerability which allows
  unprivileged speculative access to data which is available in the
  Level 1 Data Cache when the page table entry controlling the virtual
  address, which is used for the access, has the Present bit cleared or
  other reserved bits set.

  If an instruction accesses a virtual address for which the relevant
  page table entry (PTE) has the Present bit cleared or other reserved
  bits set, then speculative execution ignores the invalid PTE and loads
  the referenced data if it is present in the Level 1 Data Cache, as if
  the page referenced by the address bits in the PTE was still present
  and accessible.

  While this is a purely speculative mechanism and the instruction will
  raise a page fault when it is retired eventually, the pure act of
  loading the data and making it available to other speculative
  instructions opens up the opportunity for side channel attacks to
  unprivileged malicious code, similar to the Meltdown attack.

  While Meltdown breaks the user space to kernel space protection, L1TF
  allows to attack any physical memory address in the system and the
  attack works across all protection domains. It allows an attack of SGX
  and also works from inside virtual machines because the speculation
  bypasses the extended page table (EPT) protection mechanism.

  The assoicated CVEs are: CVE-2018-3615, CVE-2018-3620, CVE-2018-3646

  The mitigations provided by this pull request include:

   - Host side protection by inverting the upper address bits of a non
     present page table entry so the entry points to uncacheable memory.

   - Hypervisor protection by flushing L1 Data Cache on VMENTER.

   - SMT (HyperThreading) control knobs, which allow to 'turn off' SMT
     by offlining the sibling CPU threads. The knobs are available on
     the kernel command line and at runtime via sysfs

   - Control knobs for the hypervisor mitigation, related to L1D flush
     and SMT control. The knobs are available on the kernel command line
     and at runtime via sysfs

   - Extensive documentation about L1TF including various degrees of
     mitigations.

  Thanks to all people who have contributed to this in various ways -
  patches, review, testing, backporting - and the fruitful, sometimes
  heated, but at the end constructive discussions.

  There is work in progress to provide other forms of mitigations, which
  might be less horrible performance wise for a particular kind of
  workloads, but this is not yet ready for consumption due to their
  complexity and limitations"

<title>x86/tsc: Calibrate tsc only once</title>

<id>cf7a63ef4e0203f6f33284c69e8188d91422de83</id>
<content type='text'>
During boot tsc is calibrated twice: once in tsc_early_delay_calibrate(),
and the second time in tsc_init().

Rename tsc_early_delay_calibrate() to tsc_early_init(), and rework it so
the calibration is done only early, and make tsc_init() to use the values
already determined in tsc_early_init().

Sometimes it is not possible to determine tsc early, as the subsystem that
is required is not yet initialized, in such case try again later in
tsc_init().
