Pull more arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "As I mentioned in the last pull request, there's a second batch of
  security updates for arm64 with mitigations for Spectre/v1 and an
  improved one for Spectre/v2 (via a newly defined firmware interface
  API).

  Spectre v1 mitigation:

   - back-end version of array_index_mask_nospec()

   - masking of the syscall number to restrict speculation through the
     syscall table

   - masking of __user pointers prior to deference in uaccess routines

  Spectre v2 mitigation update:

   - using the new firmware SMC calling convention specification update

   - removing the current PSCI GET_VERSION firmware call mitigation as
     vendors are deploying new SMCCC-capable firmware

   - additional branch predictor hardening for synchronous exceptions
     and interrupts while in user mode

  Meltdown v3 mitigation update:

    - Cavium Thunder X is unaffected but a hardware erratum gets in the
      way. The kernel now starts with the page tables mapped as global
      and switches to non-global if kpti needs to be enabled.

  Other:

   - Theoretical trylock bug fixed"

Since PSCI 1.0 allows the SMCCC version to be (indirectly) probed,
let's do that at boot time, and expose the version of the calling
convention as part of the psci_ops structure.

In order to call into the firmware to apply workarounds, it is
useful to find out whether we're using HVC or SMC. Let's expose
this through the psci_ops.

Currently, when booting a kernel with DMI support on a platform that has
no DMI tables, the following output is emitted into the kernel log:

  [    0.128818] DMI not present or invalid.
  ...
  [    1.306659] dmi: Firmware registration failed.
  ...
  [    2.908681] dmi-sysfs: dmi entry is absent.

The first one is a pr_info(), but the subsequent ones are pr_err()s that
complain about a condition that is not really an error to begin with.

So let's clean this up, and give up silently if dma_available is not set.

The handling of empty DMI strings looks quite broken to me:
* Strings from 1 to 7 spaces are not considered empty.
* True empty DMI strings (string index set to 0) are not considered
  empty, and result in allocating a 0-char string.
* Strings with invalid index also result in allocating a 0-char
  string.
* Strings starting with 8 spaces are all considered empty, even if
  non-space characters follow (sounds like a weird thing to do, but
  I have actually seen occurrences of this in DMI tables before.)
* Strings which are considered empty are reported as 8 spaces,
  instead of being actually empty.

Some of these issues are the result of an off-by-one error in memcmp,
the rest is incorrect by design.

So let's get it square: missing strings and strings made of only
spaces, regardless of their length, should be treated as empty and
no memory should be allocated for them. All other strings are
non-empty and should be allocated.

<title>firmware: dmi_scan: Drop dmi_initialized</title>

I don't think it makes sense to check for a possible bad
initialization order at run time on every system when it is all
decided at build time.

A more efficient way to make sure developers do not introduce new
calls to dmi_check_system() too early in the initialization sequence
is to simply document the expected call order. That way, developers
have a chance to get it right immediately, without having to
test-boot their kernel, wonder why it does not work, and parse the
kernel logs for a warning message. And we get rid of the run-time
performance penalty as a nice side effect.

<title>firmware: dmi: Optimize dmi_matches</title>

Function dmi_matches can me made a bit faster:

* The documented purpose of dmi_initialized is to catch too early
  calls to dmi_check_system(). I'm not fully convinced it justifies
  slowing down the initialization of all systems out there, but at
  least the check should not have been moved from dmi_check_system()
  to dmi_matches(). dmi_matches() is being called for every entry of
  the table passed to dmi_check_system(), causing the same redundant
  check to be performed again and again. So move it back to
  dmi_check_system(), reverting this specific portion of commit
  d7b1956fed33 ("DMI: Introduce dmi_first_match to make the interface
  more flexible").

* Don't check for the exact_match flag again when we already know its
  value.
