Pull MIPS updates from Paul Burton:
"Here are the main MIPS changes for 4.19.
An overview of the general architecture changes:
- Massive DMA ops refactoring from Christoph Hellwig (huzzah for
deleting crufty code!).
- We introduce NT_MIPS_DSP & NT_MIPS_FP_MODE ELF notes &
corresponding regsets to expose DSP ASE & floating point mode state
respectively, both for live debugging & core dumps.
- We better optimize our code by hard-coding cpu_has_* macros at
compile time where their values are known due to the ISA revision
that the kernel build is targeting.
- The EJTAG exception handler now better handles SMP systems, where
it was previously possible for CPUs to clobber a register value
saved by another CPU.
- Our implementation of memset() gained a couple of fixes for MIPSr6
systems to return correct values in some cases where stores fault.
- We now implement ioremap_wc() using the uncached-accelerated cache
coherency attribute where supported, which is detected during boot,
and fall back to plain uncached access where necessary. The
MIPS-specific (and unused in tree) ioremap_uncached_accelerated() &
ioremap_cacheable_cow() are removed.
- The prctl(PR_SET_FP_MODE, ...) syscall is better supported for SMP
systems by reworking the way we ensure remote CPUs that may be
running threads within the affected process switch mode.
- Systems using the MIPS Coherence Manager will now set the
MIPS_IC_SNOOPS_REMOTE flag to avoid some unnecessary cache
maintenance overhead when flushing the icache.
- A few fixes were made for building with clang/LLVM, which now
sucessfully builds kernels for many of our platforms.
- Miscellaneous cleanups all over.
And some platform-specific changes:
- ar7 gained stubs for a few clock API functions to fix build
failures for some drivers.
- ath79 gained support for a few new SoCs, a few fixes & better
gpio-keys support.
- Ci20 now exposes its SPI bus using the spi-gpio driver.
- The generic platform can now auto-detect a suitable value for
PHYS_OFFSET based upon the memory map described by the device tree,
allowing us to avoid wasting memory on page book-keeping for
systems where RAM starts at a non-zero physical address.
- Ingenic systems using the jz4740 platform code now link their
vmlinuz higher to allow for kernels of a realistic size.
- Loongson32 now builds the kernel targeting MIPSr1 rather than
MIPSr2 to avoid CPU errata.
- Loongson64 gains a couple of fixes, a workaround for a write
buffering issue & support for the Loongson 3A R3.1 CPU.
- Malta now uses the piix4-poweroff driver to handle powering down.
- Microsemi Ocelot gained support for its SPI bus & NOR flash, its
second MDIO bus and can now be supported by a FIT/.itb image.
- Octeon saw a bunch of header cleanups which remove a lot of
duplicate or unused code"

Pull s390 updates from Heiko Carstens:
"Since Martin is on vacation you get the s390 pull request from me:
- Host large page support for KVM guests. As the patches have large
impact on arch/s390/mm/ this series goes out via both the KVM and
the s390 tree.
- Add an option for no compression to the "Kernel compression mode"
menu, this will come in handy with the rework of the early boot
code.
- A large rework of the early boot code that will make life easier
for KASAN and KASLR. With the rework the bootable uncompressed
image is not generated anymore, only the bzImage is available. For
debuggung purposes the new "no compression" option is used.
- Re-enable the gcc plugins as the issue with the latent entropy
plugin is solved with the early boot code rework.
- More spectre relates changes:
+ Detect the etoken facility and remove expolines automatically.
+ Add expolines to a few more indirect branches.
- A rewrite of the common I/O layer trace points to make them
consumable by 'perf stat'.
- Add support for format-3 PCI function measurement blocks.
- Changes for the zcrypt driver:
+ Add attributes to indicate the load of cards and queues.
+ Restructure some code for the upcoming AP device support in KVM.
- Build flags improvements in various Makefiles.
- A few fixes for the kdump support.
- A couple of patches for gcc 8 compile warning cleanup.
- Cleanup s390 specific proc handlers.
- Add s390 support to the restartable sequence self tests.
- Some PTR_RET vs PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO cleanup.
- Lots of bug fixes"

Pull x86 PTI updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The Speck brigade sadly provides yet another large set of patches
destroying the perfomance which we carefully built and preserved
- PTI support for 32bit PAE. The missing counter part to the 64bit

were setting the Global Bit too widely and therefore possibly
exposing interesting memory needlessly.

over IBRS. Unfortunately we dont know the performance impact of
this, but it's expected to be less horrible than the IBRS
hammering.

Pull x86 cache QoS (RDT/CAR) updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Add support for pseudo-locked cache regions.
Cache Allocation Technology (CAT) allows on certain CPUs to isolate a
region of cache and 'lock' it. Cache pseudo-locking builds on the fact
that a CPU can still read and write data pre-allocated outside its
current allocated area on cache hit. With cache pseudo-locking data
can be preloaded into a reserved portion of cache that no application
can fill, and from that point on will only serve cache hits. The cache
pseudo-locked memory is made accessible to user space where an
application can map it into its virtual address space and thus have a
region of memory with reduced average read latency.
The locking is not perfect and gets totally screwed by WBINDV and
similar mechanisms, but it provides a reasonable enhancement for
certain types of latency sensitive applications.
The implementation extends the current CAT mechanism and provides a
generally useful exclusive CAT mode on which it builds the extra
pseude-locked regions"

This patchset fixes and improves stack unwinding a lot:
1. Show backward stack traces with up to 30 callsites
2. Add callinfo to ENTRY_CFI() such that every assembler function will get an
entry in the unwind table
3. Use constants instead of numbers in call_on_stack()
4. Do not depend on CONFIG_KALLSYMS to generate backtraces.
5. Speed up backtrace generation
Make sure you have this patch to GNU as installed:
https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2018-07/msg00474.html
Without this patch, unwind info in the kernel is often wrong for various

Now that mb() is an instruction barrier, it will slow performance if we issue
unnecessary barriers.
The spinlock defines have a number of unnecessary barriers. The __ldcw()
define is both a hardware and compiler barrier. The mb() barriers in the
routines using __ldcw() serve no purpose.
The only barrier needed is the one in arch_spin_unlock(). We need to ensure
all accesses are complete prior to releasing the lock.

parisc is the only Linux architecture which has defined a value for ENOTSUP.
All other architectures #define ENOTSUP as EOPNOTSUPP in their libc headers.
Having an own value for ENOTSUP which is different than EOPNOTSUPP often gives
problems with userspace programs which expect both to be the same. One such
example is a build error in the libuv package, as can be seen in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=900237.
Since we dropped HP-UX support, there is no real benefit in keeping an own
value for ENOTSUP. This patch drops the parisc value for ENOTSUP from the
kernel sources. glibc needs no patch, it reuses the exported headers.

uses flush_kernel_dcache_range. The single vs sg operations are supposed

With gcc-8 fsanitize=null become very noisy. GCC started to complain
about things like &a->b, where 'a' is NULL pointer. There is no NULL
dereference, we just calculate address to struct member. It's
technically undefined behavior so UBSAN is correct to report it. But as
long as there is no real NULL-dereference, I think, we should be fine.
-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks compiler flag should protect us from any
consequences. So let's just no use -fsanitize=null as it's not useful
for us. If there is a real NULL-deref we will see crash. Even if
userspace mapped something at NULL (root can do this), with things like
SMAP should catch the issue.

The user page-table gets the updated kernel mappings in pti_finalize(),
which runs after the RO+X permissions got applied to the kernel page-table
in mark_readonly().
But with CONFIG_DEBUG_WX enabled, the user page-table is already checked in
mark_readonly() for insecure mappings. This causes false-positive
warnings, because the user page-table did not get the updated mappings yet.
Move the W+X check for the user page-table into pti_finalize() after it
updated all required mappings.

Commit c9b5ad546e7d "s390/mm: tag normal pages vs pages used in page tables"
accidentally changed the logic in arch_set_page_states(), which is used by
the suspend/resume code. set_page_stable(page, order) was changed to
set_page_stable_dat(page, 0). After this, only the first page of higher order
pages will be set to stable, and a write to one of the unstable pages will
result in an addressing exception.
Fix this by using "order" again, instead of "0".

For years I thought all parisc machines executed loads and stores in
order. However, Jeff Law recently indicated on gcc-patches that this is
not correct. There are various degrees of out-of-order execution all the
way back to the PA7xxx processor series (hit-under-miss). The PA8xxx
series has full out-of-order execution for both integer operations, and
loads and stores.
This is described in the following article:
http://web.archive.org/web/20040214092531/http://www.cpus.hp.com/technical_references/advperf.shtml
For this reason, we need to define mb() and to insert a memory barrier
before the store unlocking spinlocks. This ensures that all memory
accesses are complete prior to unlocking. The ldcw instruction performs
the same function on entry.

In nlm_fmn_send() we have a loop which attempts to send a message
multiple times in order to handle the transient failure condition of a
lack of available credit. When examining the status register to detect
the failure we check for a condition that can never be true, which falls
foul of gcc 8's -Wtautological-compare:
In file included from arch/mips/netlogic/common/irq.c:65:
./arch/mips/include/asm/netlogic/xlr/fmn.h: In function 'nlm_fmn_send':
./arch/mips/include/asm/netlogic/xlr/fmn.h:304:22: error: bitwise
comparison always evaluates to false [-Werror=tautological-compare]
if ((status & 0x2) == 1)
^~
If the path taken if this condition were true all we do is print a
message to the kernel console. Since failures seem somewhat expected
here (making the console message questionable anyway) and the condition
has clearly never evaluated true we simply remove it, rather than
attempting to fix it to check status correctly.

When building the VDSO with clang it appears to invoke ld without
specifying endianness, even though clang itself was provided with a -EB
or -EL flag. This results in the build failing due to a mismatch between
the objects that are the input to ld, and the output it is attempting to
create:
VDSO arch/mips/vdso/vdso.so.dbg.raw
mips-linux-ld: arch/mips/vdso/elf.o: compiled for a big endian system
and target is little endian
mips-linux-ld: arch/mips/vdso/elf.o: endianness incompatible with that
of the selected emulation
mips-linux-ld: failed to merge target specific data of file
arch/mips/vdso/elf.o
...
Work around this problem by explicitly specifying the link endianness
using -Wl,-EB or -Wl,-EL when -EB or -EL are part of KBUILD_CFLAGS. This
resolves the build failure when using clang, and doesn't have any
negative effect on gcc.

When building using clang, always specify -EB or -EL in order to ensure
we target the desired endianness.
Since clang cross compiles using a single compiler build with multiple
targets, our -dumpmachine tests which don't specify clang's --target
argument check output based upon the build machine rather than the
machine our build will target. This means our detection of whether to
specify -EB fails miserably & we never do. Providing the endianness flag
unconditionally for clang resolves this issue & simplifies the clang
path somewhat.

On 32 bit the kernel sections are not huge-page aligned. When we clone
them on PMD-level we unevitably map some areas that are normal kernel
memory and may contain secrets to user-space. To prevent that we need to
clone the kernel-image on PTE-level for 32 bit.
Also make the page-table cloning code more general so that it can handle
PMD and PTE level cloning. This can be generalized further in the future to
also handle clones on the P4D-level.

The function sets the global-bit on cloned PMD entries, which only makes
sense when the permissions are identical between the user and the kernel
page-table. Further, only write-permissions are cleared for entry-text and
kernel-text sections, which are not writeable at the end of the boot
process.
The reason why this RW clearing exists is that in the early PTI
implementations the cloned kernel areas were set up during early boot
before the kernel text is set to read only and not touched afterwards.
This is not longer true. The cloned areas are still set up early to get the
entry code working for interrupts and other things, but after the kernel
text has been set RO the clone is repeated which copies the RO PMD/PTEs
over to the user visible clone. That means the initial clearing of the
writable bit can be avoided.

Nadav reported that on guests we're failing to rewrite the indirect
calls to CALLEE_SAVE paravirt functions. In particular the
pv_queued_spin_unlock() call is left unpatched and that is all over the
place. This obviously wrecks Spectre-v2 mitigation (for paravirt
guests) which relies on not actually having indirect calls around.
The reason is an incorrect clobber test in paravirt_patch_call(); this
function rewrites an indirect call with a direct call to the _SAME_
function, there is no possible way the clobbers can be different
because of this.
Therefore remove this clobber check. Also put WARNs on the other patch
failure case (not enough room for the instruction) which I've not seen
trigger in my (limited) testing.

function that illustrates the problem nicely). PRE is the current
situation for guests, POST is with this patch applied and NATIVE is with
