Pull misc x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"Two fixes for x86:
- Provide a declaration for native_save_fl() which unbreaks the
wreckage caused by making it 'extern inline'.
- Fix the failing paravirt patching which is supposed to replace
indirect with direct calls. The wreckage is caused by an incorrect
clobber test"

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"

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.

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.

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.
Three live kernel image disassemblies for lock_sock_nested (as a small
function that illustrates the problem nicely). PRE is the current
situation for guests, POST is with this patch applied and NATIVE is with
or without the patch for !guests.

It turns out I had misunderstood how the x86_match_cpu() function works.
It evaluates a logical OR of the matching conditions, not logical AND.
This caused the CPU feature checks for AEGIS to pass even if only SSE2
(but not AES-NI) was supported (or vice versa), leading to potential
crashes if something tried to use the registered algs.
This patch switches the checks to a simpler method that is used e.g. in
the Camellia x86 code.
The patch also removes the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE declarations which
actually seem to cause the modules to be auto-loaded at boot, which is
not desired. The crypto API on-demand module loading is sufficient.

As it turns out, checking the TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag after each
iteration results in a significant performance regression (~10%)
when running fast algorithms (i.e., ones that use special instructions
and operate in the < 4 cycles per byte range) on in-order cores with
comparatively slow memory accesses such as the Cortex-A53.
Given the speed of these ciphers, and the fact that the page based
nature of the AEAD scatterwalk API guarantees that the core NEON
transform is never invoked with more than a single page's worth of
input, we can estimate the worst case duration of any resulting
scheduling blackout: on a 1 GHz Cortex-A53 running with 64k pages,
processing a page's worth of input at 4 cycles per byte results in
a delay of ~250 us, which is a reasonable upper bound.
So let's remove the yield checks from the fused AES-CCM and AES-GCM
routines entirely.
This reverts commit 7b67ae4d5ce8e2f912377f5fbccb95811a92097f and
partially reverts commit 7c50136a8aba8784f07fb66a950cc61a7f3d2ee3.

Some Intel processors have an EPT feature whereby the accessed & dirty bits
in EPT entries can be updated by HW. MSR IA32_VMX_EPT_VPID_CAP exposes the
presence of this capability.
There is no point in trying to use that new feature bit in the VMX code as
VMX needs to read the MSR anyway to access other bits, but having the
feature bit for EPT_AD in place helps virtualization management as it
exposes "ept_ad" in /proc/cpuinfo/$proc/flags if the feature is present.

It appears arm64 copied arm's GENERIC_IRQ_MULTI_HANDLER code, but made

Converts the arm64 code to use the new generic code, which simply consists

Converts the ARM interrupt code to use the recently added
GENERIC_IRQ_MULTI_HANDLER, which is essentially just a copy of ARM's
existhing MULTI_IRQ_HANDLER. The only changes are:
* handle_arch_irq is now defined in a generic C file instead of an
arm-specific assembly file.
* handle_arch_irq is now marked as __ro_after_init.

Commit 2c4541e24c55 ("mm: use vma_init() to initialize VMAs on stack and
data segments") tried to initialize various left-over ad-hoc vma's
"properly", but actually made things worse for the temporary vma's used
for TLB flushing.
vma_init() doesn't actually initialize all of the vma, just a few
fields, so doing something like
- struct vm_area_struct vma = { .vm_mm = tlb->mm, };
+ struct vm_area_struct vma;
+
+ vma_init(&vma, tlb->mm);
was actually very bad: instead of having a nicely initialized vma with
every field but "vm_mm" zeroed, you'd have an entirely uninitialized vma
with only a couple of fields initialized. And they weren't even fields
that the code in question mostly cared about.
The flush_tlb_range() function takes a "struct vma" rather than a
"struct mm_struct", because a few architectures actually care about what
kind of range it is - being able to only do an ITLB flush if it's a
range that doesn't have data accesses enabled, for example. And all the
normal users already have the vma for doing the range invalidation.
But a few people want to call flush_tlb_range() with a range they just
made up, so they also end up using a made-up vma. x86 just has a
special "flush_tlb_mm_range()" function for this, but other
architectures (arm and ia64) do the "use fake vma" thing instead, and
thus got caught up in the vma_init() changes.
At the same time, the TLB flushing code really doesn't care about most
other fields in the vma, so vma_init() is just unnecessary and
pointless.
This fixes things by having an explicit "this is just an initializer for
the TLB flush" initializer macro, which is used by the arm/arm64/ia64
people who mis-use this interface with just a dummy vma.

Commit bfd40eaff5ab ("mm: fix vma_is_anonymous() false-positives") made
newly allocated vma's have a dummy vm_ops field so that they wouldn't be
mistaken for anonymous mappings, and if you wanted an anonymous vma you
had to explicitly say so by calling "vma_set_anonymous()" on it.
However, it missed the two special vmas that ia64 processes have: the
register backing store and the NaT page. So they wouldn't actually act
like anonymous ranges, and page faults on them caused a SIGBUS rather
than the creation of a new anon page in them.
That obviously will make any ia64 binary very unhappy indeed, and the
boot fails early.
