commit 9a9fc42b86c06120744555fea43fdcabe297c656 upstream.

If there is a lot(more then 16) of virtio-console devices
or virtio_console module is reloaded
- buffers 'vtermnos' and 'cons_ops' are overflowed.
In older kernels it overruns spinlock which leads to kernel freezing:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1786239

To reproduce the issue, you can try simple script that
loads/unloads module. Something like this:
while [ 1 ]
do
  modprobe virtio_console
  sleep 2
  modprobe -r virtio_console
  sleep 2
done

Description of problem:
Guest get 'Call Trace' when loading module "virtio_console"
and unloading it frequently - clearly reproduced on kernel-4.18.0:

Pull tty/serial updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the "big" tty and serial driver patches for 5.5-rc1.

  It's a bit later in the merge window than normal as I wanted to make
  sure some last-minute patches applied to it were all sane. They seem
  to be :)

  There's a lot of little stuff in here, for the tty core, and for lots
  of serial drivers:

   - reverts of uartlite serial driver patches that were wrong

   - msm-serial driver fixes

   - serial core updates and fixes

   - tty core fixes

   - serial driver dma mapping api changes

   - lots of other tiny fixes and updates for serial drivers

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  issues"

When running in M-mode we can't use SBI based drivers.  Add a new
CONFIG_RISCV_SBI that drivers that do SBI calls can depend on
instead.

<id>urn:sha1:4d2e26a38fbcde2ba14882cbdb845caa1c17e19b</id>
<content type='text'>
Convert docs to ReST and add them to the arch-specific
book.

The conversion here was trivial, as almost every file there
was already using an elegant format close to ReST standard.

The changes were mostly to mark literal blocks and add a few
missing section title identifiers.

One note with regards to "--": on Sphinx, this can't be used
to identify a list, as it will format it badly. This can be
used, however, to identify a long hyphen - and "---" is an
even longer one.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

<title>powerpc/pseries/hvconsole: Fix stack overread via udbg</title>

<id>urn:sha1:934bda59f286d0221f1a3ebab7f5156a996cc37d</id>
<content type='text'>
While developing KASAN for 64-bit book3s, I hit the following stack
over-read.

It occurs because the hypercall to put characters onto the terminal
takes 2 longs (128 bits/16 bytes) of characters at a time, and so
hvc_put_chars() would unconditionally copy 16 bytes from the argument
buffer, regardless of supplied length. However, udbg_hvc_putc() can
call hvc_put_chars() with a single-byte buffer, leading to the error.

  ==================================================================

Pull RISC-V updates from Palmer Dabbelt:
 "This contains an assortment of RISC-V related patches that I'd like to
  target for the 5.2 merge window. Most of the patches are cleanups, but
  there are a handful of user-visible changes:

   - The nosmp and nr_cpus command-line arguments are now supported,
     which work like normal.

   - The SBI console no longer installs itself as a preferred console,
     we rely on standard mechanisms (/chosen, command-line, hueristics)
     instead.

   - sfence_remove_sfence_vma{,_asid} now pass their arguments along to
     the SBI call.

   - Modules now support BUG().

   - A missing sfence.vma during boot has been added. This bug only
     manifests during boot.

   - The arch/riscv support for SiFive's L2 cache controller has been
     merged, which should un-block the EDAC framework work.

  I've only tested this on QEMU again, as I didn't have time to get
  things running on the Unleashed. The latest master from this morning
  merges in cleanly and passes the tests as well"
