MIPS: AR7: ensure the port type's FCR value is used

2018-01-23T18:58:21+00:00

commit 0a5191efe06b5103909206e4fbcff81d30283f8e upstream. Since commit aef9a7bd9b67 ("serial/uart/8250: Add tunable RX interrupt trigger I/F of FIFO buffers"), the port's default FCR value isn't used in serial8250_do_set_termios anymore, but copied over once in serial8250_config_port and then modified as needed. Unfortunately, serial8250_config_port will never be called if the port is shared between kernel and userspace, and the port's flag doesn't have UPF_BOOT_AUTOCONF, which would trigger a serial8250_config_port as well. This causes garbled output from userspace: [ 5.220000] random: procd urandom read with 49 bits of entropy available ers [kee Fix this by forcing it to be configured on boot, resulting in the expected output: [ 5.250000] random: procd urandom read with 50 bits of entropy available Press the [f] key and hit [enter] to enter failsafe mode Press the [1], [2], [3] or [4] key and hit [enter] to select the debug level Fixes: aef9a7bd9b67 ("serial/uart/8250: Add tunable RX interrupt trigger I/F of FIFO buffers") Signed-off-by: Jonas Gorski Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: Yoshihiro YUNOMAE Cc: Florian Fainelli Cc: Nicolas Schichan Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Cc: linux-serial@vger.kernel.org Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/17544/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle Cc: James Hogan Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

net: mvpp2: do not disable GMAC padding

2018-01-23T18:58:21+00:00

commit e749aca84b10f3987b2ee1f76e0c7d8aacc5653c upstream. Short fragmented packets may never be sent by the hardware when padding is disabled. This patch stop modifying the GMAC padding bits, to leave them to their reset value (disabled).

mm, page_vma_mapped: Drop faulty pointer arithmetics in check_pte()

2018-01-23T18:58:21+00:00

commit 0d665e7b109d512b7cae3ccef6e8654714887844 upstream. Tetsuo reported random crashes under memory pressure on 32-bit x86 system and tracked down to change that introduced page_vma_mapped_walk(). The root cause of the issue is the faulty pointer math in check_pte(). As ->pte may point to an arbitrary page we have to check that they are belong to the section before doing math. Otherwise it may lead to weird results. It wasn't noticed until now as mem_map[] is virtually contiguous on flatmem or vmemmap sparsemem. Pointer arithmetic just works against all 'struct page' pointers. But with classic sparsemem, it doesn't because each section memap is allocated separately and so consecutive pfns crossing two sections might have struct pages at completely unrelated addresses. Let's restructure code a bit and replace pointer arithmetic with operations on pfns. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

x86/mm: Rework wbinvd, hlt operation in stop_this_cpu()

2018-01-23T18:58:20+00:00

commit f23d74f6c66c3697e032550eeef3f640391a3a7d upstream. Some issues have been reported with the for loop in stop_this_cpu() that issues the 'wbinvd; hlt' sequence. Reverting this sequence to halt() has been shown to resolve the issue. However, the wbinvd is needed when running with SME. The reason for the wbinvd is to prevent cache flush races between encrypted and non-encrypted entries that have the same physical address. This can occur when kexec'ing from memory encryption active to inactive or vice-versa. The important thing is to not have outside of kernel text memory references (such as stack usage), so the usage of the native_*() functions is needed since these expand as inline asm sequences. So instead of reverting the change, rework the sequence. Move the wbinvd instruction outside of the for loop as native_wbinvd() and make its execution conditional on X86_FEATURE_SME. In the for loop, change the asm 'wbinvd; hlt' sequence back to a halt sequence but use the native_halt() call.

x86/retpoline: Optimize inline assembler for vmexit_fill_RSB

2018-01-23T18:58:20+00:00

commit 3f7d875566d8e79c5e0b2c9a413e91b2c29e0854 upstream. The generated assembler for the C fill RSB inline asm operations has several issues: - The C code sets up the loop register, which is then immediately overwritten in __FILL_RETURN_BUFFER with the same value again. - The C code also passes in the iteration count in another register, which is not used at all. Remove these two unnecessary operations. Just rely on the single constant passed to the macro for the iterations.

kprobes/x86: Disable optimizing on the function jumps to indirect thunk

2018-01-23T18:58:20+00:00

commit c86a32c09f8ced67971a2310e3b0dda4d1749007 upstream. Since indirect jump instructions will be replaced by jump to __x86_indirect_thunk_*, those jmp instruction must be treated as an indirect jump. Since optprobe prohibits to optimize probes in the function which uses an indirect jump, it also needs to find out the function which jump to __x86_indirect_thunk_* and disable optimization. Add a check that the jump target address is between the __indirect_thunk_start/end when optimizing kprobe.

retpoline: Introduce start/end markers of indirect thunk

2018-01-23T18:58:20+00:00

commit 736e80a4213e9bbce40a7c050337047128b472ac upstream. Introduce start/end markers of __x86_indirect_thunk_* functions. To make it easy, consolidate .text.__x86.indirect_thunk.* sections to one .text.__x86.indirect_thunk section and put it in the end of kernel text section and adds __indirect_thunk_start/end so that other subsystem (e.g. kprobes) can identify it.
