[ Upstream commit 20ec3ebd707c77fb9b11b37193449193d4649f33 ]

The motivation of this renaming is to make these variables and related
helper functions less mmu_notifier bound and can also be used for non
mmu_notifier based page invalidation. mmu_invalidate_* was chosen to
better describe the purpose of 'invalidating' a page that those
variables are used for.

  - mmu_notifier_seq/range_start/range_end are renamed to
    mmu_invalidate_seq/range_start/range_end.

  - mmu_notifier_retry{_hva} helper functions are renamed to
    mmu_invalidate_retry{_hva}.

  - mmu_notifier_count is renamed to mmu_invalidate_in_progress to
    avoid confusion with mn_active_invalidate_count.

  - While here, also update kvm_inc/dec_notifier_count() to
    kvm_mmu_invalidate_begin/end() to match the change for
    mmu_notifier_count.

No functional change intended.

[ Upstream commit a7c28483fd57dd0e1487024af70622315320774b ]

Commit d87773de9efe ("clocksource/drivers/arm_arch_timer: Default to EL2
virtual timer when running VHE") updated the ARM arch timer driver to
use the virtual timer by default if the CPU is running at EL2 with VHE
enabled. If the CPU is running at EL2 with VHE enabled but there is no
interrupt provided for the virtual timer, then the following warning is
displayed:

 arch_timer: [Firmware Bug]: VHE-capable CPU without EL2 virtual timer
  interrupt

This warning is observed on Tegra194 platforms. Tegra194 SoC includes
NVIDIA Carmel ARM v8.2 CPUs and support an EL2 virtual timer. Fix the
above warning by adding the PPI for the EL2 virtual timer interrupt for
Tegra194.

commit 26b483d52417253d88a3a01262ac85914a7aec8e upstream.

This reverts commit e057b94772328221405b067c3a85fe479b915dc8.

Sashiko points out that updating 'orig_x0' after secure_computing()
has returned is too late to handle the case where a seccomp filter is
re-evaluated after initially returning SECCOMP_RET_TRACE. This means
that a tracer can manipulate the first argument of the syscall behind
seccomp's back.

For now, revert the initial fix and we'll have another crack at it soon.
Since the incorrect fix was cc'd to stable, do the same here with an
appropriate fixes tag.

<id>urn:sha1:6b3325c5ed1ced9a011a5717f1d8ab6ac9c2c556</id>

commit e057b94772328221405b067c3a85fe479b915dc8 upstream.

When seccomp support was originally added to arm64 in a1ae65b21941
("arm64: add seccomp support"), seccomp was erroneously called _before_
the ptrace syscall-enter-stop and therefore the tracer could trivially
manipulate the syscall register state after the seccomp check had
passed. This was subsequently fixed in a5cd110cb836 ("arm64/ptrace: run
seccomp after ptrace") by moving the seccomp check after the tracer has
run. Unfortunately, a decade later, that fix has been reported to be
incomplete.

On arm64, both the first argument to a syscall and its eventual return
value are allocated to register x0. In order to facilitate syscall
restarting and querying of syscall arguments on the syscall exit path,
the original value of x0 is stashed in 'struct pt_regs::orig_x0' early
during the syscall entry path and is returned for the first argument by
syscall_get_arguments(). Unlike 32-bit Arm, this stashed value is not
directly exposed via ptrace() and so changes to register x0 made by the
tracer on a syscall-enter-stop are not reflected in 'orig_x0'. This
means that seccomp, syscall tracepoints and audit can observe a stale
value for the register compared to the argument that will be observed by
the actual syscall.

Re-sync 'orig_x0' from x0 on the syscall entry path following a
potential ptrace stop (i.e. PTRACE_EVENTMSG_SYSCALL_ENTRY or
SECCOMP_RET_TRACE). This behaviour is limited to native tasks (because
compat tasks expose 'orig_r0' to ptrace) where the syscall is not being
skipped (because x0 is updated to hold the return value of -ENOSYS in
that case).

commit 3a07249981629ace483ebbef81ef6b34c2d2afec upstream.

kvm_io_bus_get_dev() returns a device that is only matched by the
address, and nothing else. This can cause a lifetime issue if
the matched device is not the expected type, as by the time
the caller can introspect the object, it might be gone (the srcu
lock having been dropped).

Given that there is only a single user of this helper, the simplest
option is to move the locking responsibility to the caller, which
can keep the srcu lock held for as long as it wants.

Note that this aligns with other kvm_io_bus*() helpers, which
already require the srcu lock to be held by the callers.

commit 0074b82cdfcb5fd13710a0ac308ade68ac6f6fbe upstream.

vgic_prune_ap_list() drops both ap_list_lock and irq_lock while migrating
an interrupt to another vCPU. After reacquiring the locks it only checks
that the affinity is unchanged (target_vcpu == vgic_target_oracle(irq))
before moving the interrupt, which assumes that an interrupt whose affinity
is preserved is still queued on this vCPU's ap_list.

That assumption no longer holds if the interrupt is taken off the ap_list
while the locks are dropped. vgic_flush_pending_lpis() removes the
interrupt from the list and sets irq-&gt;vcpu to NULL, but leaves
enabled/pending/target_vcpu untouched. As the interrupt is still enabled
and pending, vgic_target_oracle() returns the same target_vcpu, so the
affinity check passes and list_del() is run a second time on an entry that
has already been removed.

Also check that the interrupt is still assigned to this vCPU
(irq-&gt;vcpu == vcpu) before moving it.

Commit 48478b9f7913 ("arm64/mm: Enable batched TLB flush in
unmap_hotplug_range") inadvertently introduced redundant TLB
invalidation when clearing a block entry, resulting in unnecessary
broadcast invalidation on CPUs without support for range-based
invalidation.

Re-introduce the old behaviour, along with some expanded comments to
help people working in this area next time around.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 4cc70f75853bebac022334b6a86b953348072f74 ]

hw_breakpoint_arch_parse() positions the BAS bit pattern in
hw-&gt;ctrl.len with

	offset = hw-&gt;address &amp; alignment_mask;	/* 0..7 */
	hw-&gt;ctrl.len &lt;&lt;= offset;

ctrl.len is an 8-bit bitfield (struct arch_hw_breakpoint_ctrl::len is
u32 :8), so the shift silently drops any bits past bit 7.  For
non-compat AArch64 watchpoints the offset is unbounded relative to
ctrl.len: a perf_event_open(PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT) caller asking for
HW_BREAKPOINT_W with bp_addr=page+1 and bp_len=HW_BREAKPOINT_LEN_8
ends up with 0xff &lt;&lt; 1 = 0x1fe, stored as 0xfe.  The kernel programs
WCR.BAS=0xfe and the hardware watches bytes [1..7] instead of the
requested [1..8] -- the eighth byte is silently dropped.  The
syscall still returns success, leaving userspace to discover the
gap by empirical probing.

The same class affects HW_BREAKPOINT_LEN_{2,4} when offset pushes the
high BAS bit past bit 7 (e.g. LEN_4 with offset=5 yields 0xe0
instead of 0x1e0).  No memory-safety impact -- the value is masked
into 8 bits before encoding -- but debuggers and perf users observe
missed events on bytes they thought they were watching.

The AArch32 branch immediately above already rejects unrepresentable
(offset, len) combinations via an explicit switch.  Mirror that for
the non-compat branch by checking that the shifted pattern fits in
the BAS field, returning -EINVAL when it does not.

GDB and similar debuggers are unaffected by the stricter check.
aarch64_linux_set_debug_regs() already treats EINVAL on
NT_ARM_HW_WATCH as a downgrade signal: it clears
kernel_supports_any_contiguous_range, calls aarch64_downgrade_regs()
to round the BAS up to a legacy 0x01/03/0f/ff mask with an aligned
base, and retries -- the same fallback path that PR-20207 introduced.
The new -EINVAL is therefore reachable only from a raw
perf_event_open() that pairs an unaligned base with an oversized
bp_len, which is precisely the bug.

Reproducer:

  struct perf_event_attr a = {
      .type = PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT, .size = sizeof(a),
      .bp_type = HW_BREAKPOINT_W,
      .bp_addr = (uintptr_t)(buf + 1),
      .bp_len = HW_BREAKPOINT_LEN_8,
      .exclude_kernel = 1, .exclude_hv = 1,
  };
  int fd = perf_event_open(&amp;a, 0, -1, -1, 0);
  /* before this fix: succeeds, watches 7 bytes (buf+1..buf+7)   */
  /* after  this fix: fails with EINVAL                          */

therefore suffers from all the same errata.".

So enable the workaround for the latest broadcast TLB invalidation bug
