commit 92f9e179a702a6adbc11e2fedc76ecd6ffc9e3f7 upstream.

Pause/unpause graph tracing around do_suspend_lowlevel as it has
inconsistent call/return info after it jumps to the wakeup vector.
The graph trace buffer will otherwise become misaligned and
may eventually crash and hang on suspend.

To reproduce the issue and test the fix:
Run a function_graph trace over suspend/resume and set the graph
function to suspend_devices_and_enter. This consistently hangs the
system without this fix.

commit 3d44d51bd339766f0178f0cf2e8d048b4a4872aa upstream.

This doesn't seem to fix a regression -- I don't think the CLAC was
ever there.

I double-checked in a debugger: entries through the int80 gate do
not automatically clear AC.

Stable maintainers: I can provide a backport to 4.3 and earlier if
needed.  This needs to be backported all the way to 3.10.

<title>sparc64: fix incorrect sign extension in sys_sparc64_personality</title>

commit 525fd5a94e1be0776fa652df5c687697db508c91 upstream.

The value returned by sys_personality has type "long int".
It is saved to a variable of type "int", which is not a problem
yet because the type of task_struct-&gt;pesonality is "unsigned int".
The problem is the sign extension from "int" to "long int"
that happens on return from sys_sparc64_personality.

For example, a userspace call personality((unsigned) -EINVAL) will
result to any subsequent personality call, including absolutely
harmless read-only personality(0xffffffff) call, failing with
errno set to EINVAL.

<title>uml: flush stdout before forking</title>

commit 0754fb298f2f2719f0393491d010d46cfb25d043 upstream.

I was seeing some really weird behaviour where piping UML's output
somewhere would cause output to get duplicated:

  $ ./vmlinux | head -n 40
  Checking that ptrace can change system call numbers...Core dump limits :
          soft - 0
          hard - NONE
  OK
  Checking syscall emulation patch for ptrace...Core dump limits :
          soft - 0
          hard - NONE
  OK
  Checking advanced syscall emulation patch for ptrace...Core dump limits :
          soft - 0
          hard - NONE
  OK
  Core dump limits :
          soft - 0
          hard - NONE

This is because these tests do a fork() which duplicates the non-empty
stdout buffer, then glibc flushes the duplicated buffer as each child
exits.

A simple workaround is to flush before forking.

<title>s390: fix normalization bug in exception table sorting</title>

<content type='text'>
commit bcb7825a77f41c7dd91da6f7ac10b928156a322e upstream.

The normalization pass in the sorting routine of the relative exception
table serves two purposes:
- it ensures that the address fields of the exception table entries are
  fully ordered, so that no ambiguities arise between entries with
  identical instruction offsets (i.e., when two instructions that are
  exactly 8 bytes apart each have an exception table entry associated with
  them)
- it ensures that the offsets of both the instruction and the fixup fields
  of each entry are relative to their final location after sorting.

Commit eb608fb366de ("s390/exceptions: switch to relative exception table
entries") ported the relative exception table format from x86, but modified
the sorting routine to only normalize the instruction offset field and not
the fixup offset field. The result is that the fixup offset of each entry
will be relative to the original location of the entry before sorting,
likely leading to crashes when those entries are dereferenced.

commit 2e22502c080f27afeab5e6f11e618fb7bc7aea53 upstream.

Fixes STAR 9000953410: "perf callgraph profiling causing RCU stalls"

| perf record -g -c 15000 -e cycles /sbin/hackbench
|
| INFO: rcu_preempt self-detected stall on CPU
| 1: (1 GPs behind) idle=609/140000000000002/0 softirq=2914/2915 fqs=603
| Task dump for CPU 1:

in-kernel dwarf unwinder has a fast binary lookup and a fallback linear
search (which iterates thru each of ~11K entries) thus takes 2 orders of
magnitude longer (~3 million cycles vs. 2000). Routines written in hand
assembler lack dwarf info (as we don't support assembler CFI pseudo-ops
yet) fail the unwinder binary lookup, hit linear search, failing
nevertheless in the end.

However the linear search is pointless as binary lookup tables are created
from it in first place. It is impossible to have binary lookup fail while
succeed the linear search. It is pure waste of cycles thus removed by
this patch.

This manifested as RCU stalls / NMI watchdog splat when running
hackbench under perf with callgraph profiling. The triggering condition
was perf counter overflowing in routine lacking dwarf info (like memset)
leading to patheic 3 million cycle unwinder slow path and by the time it
returned new interrupts were already pending (Timer, IPI) and taken
rightaway. The original memset didn't make forward progress, system kept
accruing more interrupts and more unwinder delayes in a vicious feedback
loop, ultimately triggering the NMI diagnostic.

If either of the memory allocations in kvm_arch_vcpu_create() fail, the
vcpu which has been allocated and kvm_vcpu_init'd doesn't get uninit'd
in the error handling path. Add a call to kvm_vcpu_uninit() to fix this.

commit c5c2a3b998f1ff5a586f9d37e154070b8d550d17 upstream.

The immediate field of the CACHE instruction is signed, so ensure that
it gets sign extended by casting it to an int16_t rather than just
masking the low 16 bits.

commit c5c2a3b998f1ff5a586f9d37e154070b8d550d17 upstream.

The immediate field of the CACHE instruction is signed, so ensure that
it gets sign extended by casting it to an int16_t rather than just
masking the low 16 bits.

commit 002374f371bd02df864cce1fe85d90dc5b292837 upstream.

ASID restoration on guest resume should determine the guest execution
mode based on the guest Status register rather than bit 30 of the guest
PC.

Fix the two places in locore.S that do this, loading the guest status
from the cop0 area. Note, this assembly is specific to the trap &amp;
emulate implementation of KVM, so it doesn't need to check the
supervisor bit as that mode is not implemented in the guest.

Fixes: b680f70fc111 ("KVM/MIPS32: Entry point for trampolining to...")

<title>efi: Disable interrupts around EFI calls, not in the epilog/prolog calls</title>

commit 23a0d4e8fa6d3a1d7fb819f79bcc0a3739c30ba9 upstream.

Tapasweni Pathak reported that we do a kmalloc() in efi_call_phys_prolog()
on x86-64 while having interrupts disabled, which is a big no-no, as
kmalloc() can sleep.

Solve this by removing the irq disabling from the prolog/epilog calls
around EFI calls: it's unnecessary, as in this stage we are single
threaded in the boot thread, and we don't ever execute this from
interrupt contexts.
