commit 4f06b0436b2ddbd3b67b10e77098a6862787b3eb upstream.
Impact: fix race leading to crash under KVM and Xen
The CPA code may be called while we're in lazy mmu update mode - for
example, when using DEBUG_PAGE_ALLOC and doing a slab allocation
in an interrupt handler which interrupted a lazy mmu update. In this
case, the in-memory pagetable state may be out of date due to pending
queued updates. We need to flush any pending updates before inspecting
the page table. Similarly, we must explicitly flush any modifications
CPA may have made (which comes down to flushing queued operations when
flushing the TLB).

commit 55a8ba4b7f76bebd7e8ce3f74c04b140627a1bad upstream.
Commit 6194ba6ff6ccf8d5c54c857600843c67aa82c407 ("x86: don't special-case
pmd allocations as much") made changes to the way we handle pmd allocations,
and while doing that it dropped a call to paravirt_release_pd on the
pgd page from the pgd_dtor code path.
As a result of this missing release, the hypervisor is now unaware of the
pgd page being freed, and as a result it ends up tracking this page as a
page table page.
After this the guest may start using the same page for other purposes, and
depending on what use the page is put to, it may result in various performance
and/or functional issues ( hangs, reboots).
Since this release is only required for VMI, I now release the pgd page from
the (vmi)_pgd_free hook.

commit 16c29d180becc5bdf92fd0fc7314a44a671b5f4e upstream.
Since VSX support was added, we now have two sizes of ucontext_t;
the older, smaller size without the extra VSX state, and the new
larger size with the extra VSX state. A program using the
sys_swapcontext system call and supplying smaller ucontext_t
structures will currently get an EINVAL error if the task has
used VSX (e.g. because of calling library code that uses VSX) and
the old_ctx argument is non-NULL (i.e. the program is asking for
its current context to be saved). Thus the program will start
getting EINVAL errors on calls that previously worked.
This commit changes this behaviour so that we don't send an EINVAL in
this case. It will now return the smaller context but the VSX MSR bit
will always be cleared to indicate that the ucontext_t doesn't include
the extra VSX state, even if the task has executed VSX instructions.
Both 32 and 64 bit cases are updated.

commit 858770619debfb9269add63e4ba8b7c6b5538dd1 upstream.
Impact: fix to enable APIC for AMD Fam10h on chipsets with a missing/b0rked
ACPI MP table (MADT)
Booting a 32bit kernel on an AMD Fam10h CPU running on chipsets with
missing/b0rked MP table leads to a hang pretty early in the boot process
due to the APIC not being initialized. Fix that by falling back to the
default APIC base address in 32bit code, as it is done in the 64bit
codepath.

commit 13b40a1a065824d2d4e55c8b48ea9f3f9d162929 upstream.
The Cx Register address obtained from the _CST object is used as the MWAIT
hints if the register type is FFixedHW. And it is used to check whether
the Cx type is supported or not.
On some boxes the following Cx state package is obtained from _CST object:
>{
ResourceTemplate ()
{
Register (FFixedHW,
0x01, // Bit Width
0x02, // Bit Offset
0x0000000000889759, // Address
0x03, // Access Size
)
},
0x03,
0xF5,
0x015E }
In such case we should use the bit[7:4] of Cx address to check whether
the Cx type is supported or not.
mask the MWAIT hint to avoid array address overflow

commit a1e46212a410793d575718818e81ddc442a65283 upstream.
Impact: fix sporadic slowdowns and warning messages
This patch fixes a performance issue reported by Linus on his
Nehalem system. While Linus reverted the PAT patch (commit
58dab916dfb57328d50deb0aa9b3fc92efa248ff) which exposed the issue,
existing cpa() code can potentially still cause wrong(page attribute
corruption) behavior.
This patch also fixes the "WARNING: at arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c:560" that
various people reported.
In 64bit kernel, kernel identity mapping might have holes depending
on the available memory and how e820 reports the address range
covering the RAM, ACPI, PCI reserved regions. If there is a 2MB/1GB hole
in the address range that is not listed by e820 entries, kernel identity
mapping will have a corresponding hole in its 1-1 identity mapping.
If cpa() happens on the kernel identity mapping which falls into these
holes,
existing code fails like this:
__change_page_attr_set_clr()
__change_page_attr()
returns 0 because of if (!kpte). But doesn't
set cpa->numpages and cpa->pfn.
cpa_process_alias()
uses uninitialized cpa->pfn (random value)
which can potentially lead to changing the page
attribute of kernel text/data, kernel identity
mapping of RAM pages etc. oops!
This bug was easily exposed by another PAT patch which was doing
cpa() more often on kernel identity mapping holes (physical range
between
max_low_pfn_mapped and 4GB), where in here it was setting the
cache disable attribute(PCD) for kernel identity mappings aswell.
Fix cpa() to handle the kernel identity mapping holes. Retain
the WARN() for cpa() calls to other not present address ranges
(kernel-text/data, ioremap() addresses)

The asm constraints for the strncpy_from_user() result were missing an
early clobber, which tells gcc that the last output arguments
are written before all input arguments are read.
Also add more early clobbers in the rest of the file and fix 32-bit
usercopy.c in the same way.

commit 70b66cbfd3316b792a855cb9a2574e85f1a63d0f upstream.
init_srm_irq() deals with irq's #16 and above, but size of irq_desc
array on nautilus and some other system types is 16. So gcc-4.3
complains that "array subscript is above array bounds", even though
this function is never called on those systems.
This adds a check for NR_IRQS <= 16, which effectively optimizes
init_srm_irq() code away on problematic platforms.

commit f313e12308f7c5ea645f18e759d104d088b18615 upstream.
Ajith Kumar noticed:
I was going through the vmalloc fault handling for x86_64 and am unclear
about the following lines in the vmalloc_fault() function.
pgd = pgd_offset(current->mm ?: &init_mm, address);
pgd_ref = pgd_offset_k(address);
Here the intention is to get the pgd corresponding to the current process
and sync it up with the pgd in init_mm(obtained from pgd_offset_k).
However, for kernel threads current->mm is NULL and hence pgd =
pgd_offset(init_mm, address) = pgd_ref which means the fault handler
returns without setting the pgd entry in the MM structure in the context
of which the kernel thread has faulted. This could lead to never-ending
faults and busy looping of kernel threads like pdflush. So, shouldn't the
pgd = pgd_offset(current->mm ?: &init_mm, address); be pgd =
pgd_offset(current->active_mm ?: &init_mm, address);
We can use active_mm unconditionally because it should be always set.

commit 2218108e182fd8a6d9106077833ed7ad05fc8e75 upstream.
When running Active Memory Sharing, the Collaborative Memory Manager
(CMM) may mark some pages as "loaned" with the hypervisor.
Periodically, the CMM will query the hypervisor for a loan request,
which is a single signed value. When kexec'ing into a kdump kernel,
the CMM driver in the kdump kernel is not aware of the pages the
previous kernel had marked as "loaned", so the hypervisor and the CMM
driver are out of sync. This results in the CMM driver getting a
negative loan request, which can then get treated as a large unsigned
value and can cause kdump to hang due to the CMM driver inflating too
large. Since there really is no clean way for the CMM driver in the
kdump kernel to clean this up, simply disable CMM in the kdump kernel.
This fixes hangs we were seeing doing kdump with AMS.

commit 46814dded1b972a07b1609d81632eef3009fbb10 upstream.
Impact: fix crash on x86/UV
UV is the SGI "UltraViolet" machine, which is x86_64 based.
BAU is the "Broadcast Assist Unit", used for TLB shootdown in UV.
This patch removes the allocation and initialization of an unused table.
This table is left over from a development test mode. It is unused in
the present code.
And it was incorrectly initialized: 8 entries allocated but 17 initialized,
causing slab corruption.

commit 26799a63110dcbe81291ea53178f6b4810d07424 upstream.
The pda rework (commit 3461b0af025251bbc6b3d56c821c6ac2de6f7209)
to remove static boot cpu pdas introduced a performance bug.
_boot_cpu_pda is the actual pda used by the boot cpu and is definitely
not "__read_mostly" and ended up polluting the read mostly section with
writes. This bug caused regression of about 8-10% on certain syscall
intensive workloads.

commit a1afd01c175324656d0e8f1c82ea94b474953c04 upstream.
Impact: fixes korg bugzilla 11980
A kernel for a 64bit x86 system should always contain the swiotlb code
in case it is booted on a machine without any hardware IOMMU supported
by the kernel and more than 4GB of RAM. This patch changes Kconfig to
always compile swiotlb into the kernel for x86_64.

Upstream commit cf558d25e5c9f70fa0279c9b7b8b4aed7cae9bd4
Under special circumstances the IOMMU does not reset the head and tail
pointer of its command ringbuffer to zero when the command base is
written. This causes the IOMMU to fetch random memory and executes it as
an command. Since these commands are likely illegal IOMMU stops fetching
further commands including IOTLB flushes. This leads to completion wait
errors at boot and in some cases to data corruption and kernel crashes.

commit ae8d04e2ecbb233926860e9ce145eac19c7835dc upstream.
VMI initialiation can relocate the fixmap, causing early_ioremap to
malfunction if it is initialized before the relocation. To fix this,
VMI activation is split into two phases; the detection, which must
happen before setting up ioremap, and the activation, which must happen
after parsing early boot parameters.
This fixes a crash on boot when VMI is enabled under VMware.

commit 3ce1f93c6d53c3f91c3846cf66b018276c8ac2e7 upstream.
Impact: makes device isolation the default for AMD IOMMU
Some device drivers showed double-free bugs of DMA memory while testing
them with AMD IOMMU. If all devices share the same protection domain
this can lead to data corruption and data loss. Prevent this by putting
each device into its own protection domain per default.

commit 640d17d60e83401e10e66a0ab6e9e2d6350df656 upstream.
The 440x5 core in the Virtex5 uses the 440A type machine check
(ie, they have MCSRR0/MCSRR1). They thus need to call the
appropriate fixup function to hook the right variant of the
exception.
Without this, all machine checks become fatal due to loss
of context when entering the exception handler.

commit 361371201b60ffd686a694c848c1d5ad6061725f upstream.
mconsole_init() passed 256 bytes as length in os_create_unix_socket, while
the sizeof UNIX_PATH_MAX is 108. This patch fixes that problem and avoids
a big overrun bug reported on UML bootup.
sockaddr_un.sun_path is UNIX_PATH_MAX long which causes the problem.

commit cc353c30bbdb84f4317a6c149ebb11cde2232e40 upstream.
Kexec/kdump currently fails on the IBM QS2x blades when the kexec happens
on a CPU other than the initial boot CPU. It turns out that this is the
result of mpic_init trying to set affinity of each interrupt vector to the
current boot CPU.
As far as I can tell, the same problem is likely to exist on any
secondary MPIC, because they have to deliver interrupts to the first
output all the time. There are two potential solutions for this: either
not set up affinity at all for secondary MPICs, or assume that a single
CPU output is connected to the upstream interrupt controller and hardcode
affinity to that per architecture.
This patch implements the second approach, defaulting to the first output.
Currently, all known secondary MPICs are routed to their upstream port
using the first destination, so we hardcode that.
