commit b9baf5c8c5c356757f4f9d8180b5e9d234065bc3 upstream.

Workaround the Spectre BHB issues for Cortex-A15, Cortex-A57,
Cortex-A72, Cortex-A73 and Cortex-A75. We also include Brahma B15 as
well to be safe, which is affected by Spectre V2 in the same ways as
Cortex-A15.

Use unified assembler syntax (UAL) in assembly files. Divided
syntax is considered deprecated. This will also allow to build

<content type='text'>
On at least x86 and ARM64, and as documented in the ptrace man page
a skipped system call will still cause a syscall exit ptrace stop.

Previous to this commit 32-bit ARM did not, resulting in strace
being confused when seccomp skips system calls.

This change also impacts programs that use ptrace to skip system calls.

<title>ARM: 8781/1: Fix Thumb-2 syscall return for binutils 2.29+</title>

<id>afc9f65e01cd114cb2cedf544d22239116ce0cc6</id>
<content type='text'>
When building the kernel as Thumb-2 with binutils 2.29 or newer, if the
assembler has seen the .type directive (via ENDPROC()) for a symbol, it
automatically handles the setting of the lowest bit when the symbol is
used with ADR.  The badr macro on the other hand handles this lowest bit
manually.  This leads to a jump to a wrong address in the wrong state
in the syscall return path:

 801011a2:       f2af 1ea2       subw    lr, pc, #418    ; 0x1a2

To fix this, add a new symbol name which doesn't have ENDPROC used on it
and use that with badr.  We can't remove the badr usage since that would
would cause breakage with older binutils.

Syscalls are not allowed inside restartable sequences, so add a call to
rseq_syscall() at the very beginning of system call exiting path for
CONFIG_DEBUG_RSEQ=y kernel. This could help us to detect whether there
is a syscall issued inside restartable sequences.

Syscalls are not allowed inside restartable sequences, so add a call to
rseq_syscall() at the very beginning of system call exiting path for
CONFIG_DEBUG_RSEQ=y kernel. This could help us to detect whether there
is a syscall issued inside restartable sequences.

Prevent speculation at the syscall table decoding by clamping the index
used to zero on invalid system call numbers, and using the csdb
speculative barrier.

<title>ARM: probes: avoid adding kprobes to sensitive kernel-entry/exit code</title>

Avoid adding kprobes to any of the kernel entry/exit or startup
assembly code, or code in the identity-mapped region.  This code does
not conform to the standard C conventions, which means that the
expectations of the kprobes code is not forfilled.

Placing kprobes at some of these locations results in the kernel trying
to return to userspace addresses while retaining the CPU in kernel mode.
