commit 6282e916f774e37845c65d1eae9f8c649004f033 upstream.

Due to what appears to be a copy/paste error, the opening ENTRY()
of cpu_v7_hvc_switch_mm() lacks a matching ENDPROC(), and instead,
the one for cpu_v7_smc_switch_mm() is duplicated.

Given that it is ENDPROC() that emits the Thumb annotation, the
cpu_v7_hvc_switch_mm() routine will be called in ARM mode on a
Thumb2 kernel, resulting in the following splat:

  Internal error: Oops - undefined instruction: 0 [#1] SMP THUMB2

[ Upstream commit 3a58ac65e2d7969bcdf1b6acb70fa4d12a88e53e ]

IO_SPACE_LIMIT is the ending address of the PCI IO space, i.e
something like 0xfffff (and not 0x100000).

Therefore, when offset = 0xf0000 is passed as argument, this function
fails even though the offset + SZ_64K fits below the
IO_SPACE_LIMIT. This makes the last chunk of 64 KB of the I/O space
not usable as it cannot be mapped.

This patch fixes that by substracing 1 to offset + SZ_64K, so that we
compare the addrss of the last byte of the I/O space against
IO_SPACE_LIMIT instead of the address of the first byte of what is
after the I/O space.

are expecting.  This can happen with big.Little systems, which we
currently do not support.

Commit f5fe12b1eaee220ce62ff9afb8b90929c396595f upstream.

In order to prevent aliasing attacks on the branch predictor,
invalidate the BTB or instruction cache on CPUs that are known to be
affected when taking an abort on a address that is outside of a user
task limit:

Cortex A8, A9, A12, A17, A73, A75: flush BTB.
Cortex A15, Brahma B15: invalidate icache.

If the IBE bit is not set, then there is little point to enabling the
workaround.

Commit e388b80288aade31135aca23d32eee93dd106795 upstream.

When the branch predictor hardening is enabled, firmware must have set
the IBE bit in the auxiliary control register.  If this bit has not
been set, the Spectre workarounds will not be functional.

Add validation that this bit is set, and print a warning at alert level
if this is not the case.

Commit 06c23f5ffe7ad45b908d0fff604dae08a7e334b9 upstream.

Required manual merge of arch/arm/mm/proc-v7.S.

Harden the branch predictor against Spectre v2 attacks on context
switches for ARMv7 and later CPUs.  We do this by:

Cortex A9, A12, A17, A73, A75: invalidating the BTB.
Cortex A15, Brahma B15: invalidating the instruction cache.

Cortex A57 and Cortex A72 are not addressed in this patch.

Cortex R7 and Cortex R8 are also not addressed as we do not enforce
memory protection on these cores.

Commit 9d3a04925deeabb97c8e26d940b501a2873e8af3 upstream.

Add support for per-processor bug checking - each processor function
descriptor gains a function pointer for this check, which must not be
an __init function.  If non-NULL, this will be called whenever a CPU
enters the kernel via which ever path (boot CPU, secondary CPU startup,
CPU resuming, etc.)

This allows processor specific bug checks to validate that workaround
bits are properly enabled by firmware via all entry paths to the kernel.

[ Upstream commit b4c7e2bd2eb4764afe3af9409ff3b1b87116fa30 ]

Dynamic ftrace requires modifying the code segments that are usually
set to read-only. To do this, a per arch function is called both before
and after the ftrace modifications are performed. The "before" function
will set kernel code text to read-write to allow for ftrace to make the
modifications, and the "after" function will set the kernel code text
back to "read-only" to keep the kernel code text protected.

The issue happens when dynamic ftrace is tested at boot up. The test is
done before the kernel code text has been set to read-only. But the
"before" and "after" calls are still performed. The "after" call will
change the kernel code text to read-only prematurely, and other boot
code that expects this code to be read-write will fail.

The solution is to add a variable that is set when the kernel code text
is expected to be converted to read-only, and make the ftrace "before"
and "after" calls do nothing if that variable is not yet set. This is
similar to the x86 solution from commit 162396309745 ("ftrace, x86:
make kernel text writable only for conversions").
