Merge L1 Terminal Fault fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"L1TF, aka L1 Terminal Fault, is yet another speculative hardware
engineering trainwreck. It's a hardware vulnerability which allows
unprivileged speculative access to data which is available in the
Level 1 Data Cache when the page table entry controlling the virtual
address, which is used for the access, has the Present bit cleared or
other reserved bits set.
If an instruction accesses a virtual address for which the relevant
page table entry (PTE) has the Present bit cleared or other reserved
bits set, then speculative execution ignores the invalid PTE and loads
the referenced data if it is present in the Level 1 Data Cache, as if
the page referenced by the address bits in the PTE was still present
and accessible.
While this is a purely speculative mechanism and the instruction will
raise a page fault when it is retired eventually, the pure act of
loading the data and making it available to other speculative
instructions opens up the opportunity for side channel attacks to
unprivileged malicious code, similar to the Meltdown attack.
While Meltdown breaks the user space to kernel space protection, L1TF
allows to attack any physical memory address in the system and the
attack works across all protection domains. It allows an attack of SGX
and also works from inside virtual machines because the speculation
bypasses the extended page table (EPT) protection mechanism.
The assoicated CVEs are: CVE-2018-3615, CVE-2018-3620, CVE-2018-3646
The mitigations provided by this pull request include:
- Host side protection by inverting the upper address bits of a non
present page table entry so the entry points to uncacheable memory.
- Hypervisor protection by flushing L1 Data Cache on VMENTER.
- SMT (HyperThreading) control knobs, which allow to 'turn off' SMT
by offlining the sibling CPU threads. The knobs are available on
the kernel command line and at runtime via sysfs
- Control knobs for the hypervisor mitigation, related to L1D flush
and SMT control. The knobs are available on the kernel command line
and at runtime via sysfs
- Extensive documentation about L1TF including various degrees of
mitigations.
Thanks to all people who have contributed to this in various ways -
patches, review, testing, backporting - and the fruitful, sometimes
heated, but at the end constructive discussions.
There is work in progress to provide other forms of mitigations, which
might be less horrible performance wise for a particular kind of
workloads, but this is not yet ready for consumption due to their
complexity and limitations"

Pull xfs updates from Darrick Wong:
"This is the second part of the XFS changes for 4.19.
The biggest changes are the removal of buffer heads frm XFS, a massive
reworking of the deferred transaction operations handling code, the
removal of the long defunct barrier/nobarrier mount options, and the
addition of a few more online repair functions.
Summary:
- Use extent maps to track pagecache page status instead of
bufferhead state.
- Refactor pagecache read and write paths to use the new iomap
library functions, which enable us to drop the old bufferhead code
for pagesize == blocksize filesystems.
- Set up parallel per-block-per-page metadata to track subpage
information that was tracked by buffer heads, which enables us to
drop the old bufferhead code for pagesize > blocksize filesystems.
- Tie a deferred ops control structure to a transaction so that we
can take advantage of an upper-level dfops without having to plumb
pointer passing through the code.
- Refactor the deferred ops code to track deferred ops as part of the
transaction structure (instead of as a separate data structure) so
that we can simplify the scoping rules around defer_ops.
- Refactor twisty delwri buffer submission code to avoid deadlocks.
- Shorten and fix indenting problems in the scrub code.
- Detect obviously bad summary counts at mount and fix them.
- Directly associate deferred ops control structure with a
transaction so that callers no longer have to manage it themselves.
- Remove a couple of IRIX-era inode macros.
- Remove the long-deprecated 'barrier' and 'nobarrier' mount options.
- Clean up the inode fork structure a bit.
- Check for bad fs summary counter values in the superblock.
- Reduce COW fork lookups during writeback.
- Refactor the deferred ops control structures into the transaction
structure, thereby eliminating the need for transaction users to
handle the deferred ops as a separate data structure.
- Add the ability to repair AG headers online.
- Fix a crash due to insufficient return value checking.
- Various fixes and cleanups"

Pull MIPS updates from Paul Burton:
"Here are the main MIPS changes for 4.19.
An overview of the general architecture changes:
- Massive DMA ops refactoring from Christoph Hellwig (huzzah for
deleting crufty code!).
- We introduce NT_MIPS_DSP & NT_MIPS_FP_MODE ELF notes &
corresponding regsets to expose DSP ASE & floating point mode state
respectively, both for live debugging & core dumps.
- We better optimize our code by hard-coding cpu_has_* macros at
compile time where their values are known due to the ISA revision
that the kernel build is targeting.
- The EJTAG exception handler now better handles SMP systems, where
it was previously possible for CPUs to clobber a register value
saved by another CPU.
- Our implementation of memset() gained a couple of fixes for MIPSr6
systems to return correct values in some cases where stores fault.
- We now implement ioremap_wc() using the uncached-accelerated cache
coherency attribute where supported, which is detected during boot,
and fall back to plain uncached access where necessary. The
MIPS-specific (and unused in tree) ioremap_uncached_accelerated() &
ioremap_cacheable_cow() are removed.
- The prctl(PR_SET_FP_MODE, ...) syscall is better supported for SMP
systems by reworking the way we ensure remote CPUs that may be
running threads within the affected process switch mode.
- Systems using the MIPS Coherence Manager will now set the
MIPS_IC_SNOOPS_REMOTE flag to avoid some unnecessary cache
maintenance overhead when flushing the icache.
- A few fixes were made for building with clang/LLVM, which now
sucessfully builds kernels for many of our platforms.
- Miscellaneous cleanups all over.
And some platform-specific changes:
- ar7 gained stubs for a few clock API functions to fix build
failures for some drivers.
- ath79 gained support for a few new SoCs, a few fixes & better
gpio-keys support.
- Ci20 now exposes its SPI bus using the spi-gpio driver.
- The generic platform can now auto-detect a suitable value for
PHYS_OFFSET based upon the memory map described by the device tree,
allowing us to avoid wasting memory on page book-keeping for
systems where RAM starts at a non-zero physical address.
- Ingenic systems using the jz4740 platform code now link their
vmlinuz higher to allow for kernels of a realistic size.
- Loongson32 now builds the kernel targeting MIPSr1 rather than
MIPSr2 to avoid CPU errata.
- Loongson64 gains a couple of fixes, a workaround for a write
buffering issue & support for the Loongson 3A R3.1 CPU.
- Malta now uses the piix4-poweroff driver to handle powering down.
- Microsemi Ocelot gained support for its SPI bus & NOR flash, its
second MDIO bus and can now be supported by a FIT/.itb image.
- Octeon saw a bunch of header cleanups which remove a lot of
duplicate or unused code"

"Since Martin is on vacation you get the s390 pull request from me:
- Host large page support for KVM guests. As the patches have large
impact on arch/s390/mm/ this series goes out via both the KVM and
the s390 tree.
- Add an option for no compression to the "Kernel compression mode"
menu, this will come in handy with the rework of the early boot
code.
- A large rework of the early boot code that will make life easier
for KASAN and KASLR. With the rework the bootable uncompressed
image is not generated anymore, only the bzImage is available. For
debuggung purposes the new "no compression" option is used.
- Re-enable the gcc plugins as the issue with the latent entropy
plugin is solved with the early boot code rework.
- More spectre relates changes:
+ Detect the etoken facility and remove expolines automatically.
+ Add expolines to a few more indirect branches.
- A rewrite of the common I/O layer trace points to make them
consumable by 'perf stat'.
- Add support for format-3 PCI function measurement blocks.
- Changes for the zcrypt driver:
+ Add attributes to indicate the load of cards and queues.
+ Restructure some code for the upcoming AP device support in KVM.
- Build flags improvements in various Makefiles.
- A few fixes for the kdump support.
- A couple of patches for gcc 8 compile warning cleanup.
- Cleanup s390 specific proc handlers.
- Add s390 support to the restartable sequence self tests.
- Some PTR_RET vs PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO cleanup.
- Lots of bug fixes"

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"

Pull RCU updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A large update to RCU:
Preparatory work for consolidating the RCU flavors:
- Introduce grace-period sequence numbers to the RCU-bh, RCU-preempt,
and RCU-sched flavors, replacing the old ->gpnum and ->completed
pair of fields.
This change allows lockless code to obtain the complete
grace-period state with a single READ_ONCE(), which is needed to
maintain tolerable lock contention during the upcoming
consolidation of the three RCU flavors.
Note that grace-period sequence numbers are already used by
rcu_barrier(), expedited RCU grace periods, and SRCU, and are thus
already heavily used and well-tested. Joel Fernandes contributed a
number of excellent fixes and improvements.
- Clean up some grace-period-reporting loose ends, including
improving the handling of quiescent states from offline CPUs and
fixing some false-positive WARN_ON_ONCE() invocations.
(Strictly speaking, the WARN_ON_ONCE() invocations were quite
correct, but their invariants were (harmlessly) violated by the
earlier sloppy handling of quiescent states from offline CPUs.)
In addition, improve grace-period forward-progress guarantees so as
to allow removal of fail-safe checks that required otherwise
needless lock acquisitions. Finally, add more diagnostics to help
debug the upcoming consolidation of the RCU-bh, RCU-preempt, and
RCU-sched flavors.
The rest:
- SRCU updates
- Updates to rcutorture and associated scripting.
- The usual pile of miscellaneous fixes"

Currently, avg_lat is calculated by accumulating the mean of every
window in a long running cumulative average. As time goes on, the metric
becomes less and less useful due to the accumulated history.
This patch reuses the same calculation done in load averages to make the
avg_lat metric more lively. Unlike load averages, the avg only advances
when a window elapses (due to an io). Idle periods extend the most
recent window. Bucketing is used to limit the history of avg_lat by
binding it to the window size. So, the window range for 1/exp (decay
rate) is [1 min, 2.5 min) when windows elapse immediately.
The current sample window size is exposed in the debug info to enable
calculation of the window range.

Commit 59b356ffd0b0 ("mtd: m25p80: restore the status of SPI flash when
exiting") is the latest from a long history of attempts to add reboot
handling to handle stateful addressing modes on SPI flash. Some prior
mostly-related discussions:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2013-March/046343.html
[PATCH 1/3] mtd: m25p80: utilize dedicated 4-byte addressing commands
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/barebox/2014-September/020682.html
[RFC] MTD m25p80 3-byte addressing and boot problem
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2015-February/057683.html
[PATCH 2/2] m25p80: if supported put chip to deep power down if not used
Previously, attempts to add reboot-time software reset handling were
rejected, but the latest attempt was not.
Quick summary of the problem:
Some systems (e.g., boot ROM or bootloader) assume that they can read
initial boot code from their SPI flash using 3-byte addressing. If the
flash is left in 4-byte mode after reset, these systems won't boot. The
above patch provided a shutdown/remove hook to attempt to reset the
addressing mode before we reboot. Notably, this patch misses out on
huge classes of unexpected reboots (e.g., crashes, watchdog resets).
Unfortunately, it is essentially impossible to solve this problem 100%:
if your system doesn't know how to reset the SPI flash to power-on
defaults at initialization time, no amount of software can really rescue
you -- there will always be a chance of some unexpected reset that
leaves your flash in an addressing mode that your boot sequence didn't
expect.
While it is not directly harmful to perform hacks like the
aforementioned commit on all 4-byte addressing flash, a
properly-designed system should not need the hack -- and in fact,
providing this hack may mask the fact that a given system is indeed
broken. So this patch attempts to apply this unsound hack more narrowly,
providing a strong suggestion to developers and system designers that
this is truly a hack. With luck, system designers can catch their errors
early on in their development cycle, rather than applying this hack long
term. But apparently enough systems are out in the wild that we still
have to provide this hack.
Document a new device tree property to denote systems that do not have a
proper hardware (or software) reset mechanism, and apply the hack (with
a loud warning) only in this case.

General KVM huge page support on s390 has to be enabled via the
kvm.hpage module parameter. Either nested or hpage can be enabled, as
we currently do not support vSIE for huge backed guests. Once the vSIE
support is added we will either drop the parameter or enable it as
default.
For a guest the feature has to be enabled through the new
KVM_CAP_S390_HPAGE_1M capability and the hpage module
parameter. Enabling it means that cmm can't be enabled for the vm and
disables pfmf and storage key interpretation.
This is due to the fact that in some cases, in upcoming patches, we
have to split huge pages in the guest mapping to be able to set more
granular memory protection on 4k pages. These split pages have fake
page tables that are not visible to the Linux memory management which
subsequently will not manage its PGSTEs, while the SIE will. Disabling
these features lets us manage PGSTE data in a consistent matter and
solve that problem.
