commit 00a02d0c502a06d15e07b857f8ff921e3e402675 upstream

If a seccomp user is not interested in Speculative Store Bypass mitigation
by default, it can set the new SECCOMP_FILTER_FLAG_SPEC_ALLOW flag when
adding filters.

commit 356e4bfff2c5489e016fdb925adbf12a1e3950ee upstream

For certain use cases it is desired to enforce mitigations so they cannot
be undone afterwards. That's important for loader stubs which want to
prevent a child from disabling the mitigation again. Will also be used for
seccomp(). The extra state preserving of the prctl state for SSB is a
preparatory step for EBPF dymanic speculation control.

<id>urn:sha1:a06b21c754e819fa7cff7665ce9dba68dc874d2a</id>
<content type='text'>
commit b617cfc858161140d69cc0b5cc211996b557a1c7 upstream

Add two new prctls to control aspects of speculation related vulnerabilites
and their mitigations to provide finer grained control over performance
impacting mitigations.

PR_GET_SPECULATION_CTRL returns the state of the speculation misfeature
which is selected with arg2 of prctl(2). The return value uses bit 0-2 with
the following meaning:

Bit  Define           Description
0    PR_SPEC_PRCTL    Mitigation can be controlled per task by
                      PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL
1    PR_SPEC_ENABLE   The speculation feature is enabled, mitigation is
                      disabled
2    PR_SPEC_DISABLE  The speculation feature is disabled, mitigation is
                      enabled

If all bits are 0 the CPU is not affected by the speculation misfeature.

If PR_SPEC_PRCTL is set, then the per task control of the mitigation is
available. If not set, prctl(PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL) for the speculation
misfeature will fail.

PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL allows to control the speculation misfeature, which
is selected by arg2 of prctl(2) per task. arg3 is used to hand in the
control value, i.e. either PR_SPEC_ENABLE or PR_SPEC_DISABLE.

The common return values are:

EINVAL  prctl is not implemented by the architecture or the unused prctl()
        arguments are not 0
ENODEV  arg2 is selecting a not supported speculation misfeature

PR_SET_SPECULATION_CTRL has these additional return values:

ERANGE  arg3 is incorrect, i.e. it's not either PR_SPEC_ENABLE or PR_SPEC_DISABLE
ENXIO   prctl control of the selected speculation misfeature is disabled

The first supported controlable speculation misfeature is
PR_SPEC_STORE_BYPASS. Add the define so this can be shared between
architectures.

Based on an initial patch from Tim Chen and mostly rewritten.

The Nuvoton UART is almost compatible with the 8250 driver when probed
via the 8250_of driver, however it requires some extra configuration
at startup.

<title>net: Fix vlan untag for bridge and vlan_dev with reorder_hdr off</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4bbb3e0e8239f9079bf1fe20b3c0cb598714ae61</id>
<content type='text'>
When we have a bridge with vlan_filtering on and a vlan device on top of
it, packets would be corrupted in skb_vlan_untag() called from
br_dev_xmit().

The problem sits in skb_reorder_vlan_header() used in skb_vlan_untag(),
which makes use of skb-&gt;mac_len. In this function mac_len is meant for
handling rx path with vlan devices with reorder_header disabled, but in
tx path mac_len is typically 0 and cannot be used, which is the problem
in this case.

The current code even does not properly handle rx path (skb_vlan_untag()
called from __netif_receive_skb_core()) with reorder_header off actually.

In rx path single tag case, it works as follows:

- Before skb_reorder_vlan_header()

 mac_header                                data
   v                                        v
   +-------------------+-------------+------+----
   |        ETH        |    VLAN     | ETH  |
   |       ADDRS       | TPID | TCI  | TYPE |
   +-------------------+-------------+------+----
   &lt;-------- mac_len ---------&gt;
                       &lt;-------------&gt;
                        to be removed

- After skb_reorder_vlan_header()

            mac_header                     data
                 v                          v
                 +-------------------+------+----
                 |        ETH        | ETH  |
                 |       ADDRS       | TYPE |
                 +-------------------+------+----
                 &lt;-------- mac_len ---------&gt;

This is ok, but in rx double tag case, it corrupts packets:

- Before skb_reorder_vlan_header()

 mac_header                                              data
   v                                                      v
   +-------------------+-------------+-------------+------+----
   |        ETH        |    VLAN     |    VLAN     | ETH  |
   |       ADDRS       | TPID | TCI  | TPID | TCI  | TYPE |
   +-------------------+-------------+-------------+------+----
   &lt;--------------- mac_len ----------------&gt;
                                     &lt;-------------&gt;
                                    should be removed
                       &lt;---------------------------&gt;
                         actually will be removed

- After skb_reorder_vlan_header()

            mac_header                                   data
                 v                                        v
                               +-------------------+------+----
                               |        ETH        | ETH  |
                               |       ADDRS       | TYPE |
                               +-------------------+------+----
                 &lt;--------------- mac_len ----------------&gt;

So, two of vlan tags are both removed while only inner one should be
removed and mac_header (and mac_len) is broken.

skb_vlan_untag() is meant for removing the vlan header at (skb-&gt;data - 2),
so use skb-&gt;data and skb-&gt;mac_header to calculate the right offset.

<id>urn:sha1:2fe4c22c53fc2e3f35be2cd0033cb3d15ebd41b1</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit 02d742f4b209 ("media: lirc: lirc daemon fails to detect raw
IR device"), the feature LIRC_CAN_SEND_SCANCODE is no longer used as it
tripped up lircd. The ability to send scancodes for IR Tx is implied by
LIRC_CAN_SEND_PULSE (i.e. any device that can send can use IR Tx encoders).

So, remove LIRC_CAN_SEND_SCANCODE since it never used. This fixes:

Documentation/output/lirc.h.rst:6: WARNING: undefined label:
lirc-can-send-scancode (if the link has no caption the label must precede
a section header

As this flag was added for kernel 4.16, let's remove it, while not too
late.
