commit fd120dc2e205d2318a8b47d6d8098b789e3af67d upstream.

It seems that forward declaration couldn't work well with typedef, use
struct spinlock directly to avoiding following build errors:

commit b3084f4db3aeb991c507ca774337c7e7893ed04f upstream.

This patch fix the below crash

NIP [c00000000004cee4] .__hash_page_thp+0x2a4/0x440
LR [c0000000000439ac] .hash_page+0x18c/0x5e0
...

On ppc64 we use the pgtable for storing the hpte slot information and
store address to the pgtable at a constant offset (PTRS_PER_PMD) from
pmd. On mremap, when we switch the pmd, we need to withdraw and deposit
the pgtable again, so that we find the pgtable at PTRS_PER_PMD offset
from new pmd.

We also want to move the withdraw and deposit before the set_pmd so
that, when page fault find the pmd as trans huge we can be sure that
pgtable can be located at the offset.

<title>tile: remove compat_sys_lookup_dcookie declaration to fix compile error</title>

commit 5a5e75f4714a592f31e57f248b8f5c866f278b8d upstream.

With commit d8d14bd09cdd ("fs/compat: fix lookup_dcookie() parameter
handling") I changed the type of the len parameter of the
lookup_dcookie() syscall.

However I missed that there was still a stale declaration in
arch/tile/..  which now causes a compile error on tile:

  In file included from fs/dcookies.c:28:0:
  include/linux/compat.h:425:17: error: conflicting types for 'compat_sys_lookup_dcookie'
  fs/dcookies.c:207:1: error: conflicting types for 'compat_sys_lookup_dcookie'

Simply remove the declaration in the tile architecture, which is only a
leftover from before the different compat lookup_dcookie() versions have
been merged.  The correct declaration is now in include/linux/compat.h

The build error was reported by Fenguang's build bot.

commit f28d7de6bd4d41774744e011141945affa127da4 upstream.

DT-enabled Marvell Kirkwood and Dove SoCs make use of an irqchip
driver. As expected for irqchip drivers, it uses a C-style
interrupt handler and therefore selects MULTI_IRQ_HANDLER.

Now, compiling a kernel with both non-DT and DT support enabled,
selecting MULTI_IRQ_HANDLER will break ASM irq handler used by
non-DT boards.

Therefore, we provide a C-style irq handler even for non-DT boards,
if MULTI_IRQ_HANDLER is set. By installing the C-style irq handler
in orion_irq_init this is transparent to all non-DT board files.

While the regression report was filed on Marvell Kirkwood, also
Marvell Dove non-DT boards are affected and fixed by this patch.

commit 24f91eba18bbfdb27e71a1aae5b3a61b67fcd091 upstream.

The SOFT_DIRTY bit shows that the content of memory was changed after a
defined point in the past.  mprotect() doesn't change the content of
memory, so it must not change the SOFT_DIRTY bit.

This bug causes a malfunction: on the first iteration all pages are
dumped.  On other iterations only pages with the SOFT_DIRTY bit are
dumped.  So if the SOFT_DIRTY bit is cleared from a page by mistake, the
page is not dumped and its content will be restored incorrectly.

This patch does nothing with _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY, becase pte_modify()
is called only for present pages.

Fixes commit 0f8975ec4db2 ("mm: soft-dirty bits for user memory changes
tracking").

commit 51c71a3bbaca868043cc45b3ad3786dd48a90235 upstream.

The user has the option of disabling the platform driver:
00:02.0 Unassigned class [ff80]: XenSource, Inc. Xen Platform Device (rev 01)

which is used to unplug the emulated drivers (IDE, Realtek 8169, etc)
and allow the PV drivers to take over. If the user wishes
to disable that they can set:

  xen_platform_pci=0
  (in the guest config file)

or
  xen_emul_unplug=never
  (on the Linux command line)

except it does not work properly. The PV drivers still try to
load and since the Xen platform driver is not run - and it

commit 51c71a3bbaca868043cc45b3ad3786dd48a90235 upstream.

The user has the option of disabling the platform driver:
00:02.0 Unassigned class [ff80]: XenSource, Inc. Xen Platform Device (rev 01)

which is used to unplug the emulated drivers (IDE, Realtek 8169, etc)
and allow the PV drivers to take over. If the user wishes
to disable that they can set:

  xen_platform_pci=0
  (in the guest config file)

or
  xen_emul_unplug=never
  (on the Linux command line)

except it does not work properly. The PV drivers still try to
load and since the Xen platform driver is not run - and it
has not initialized the grant tables, most of the PV drivers
stumble upon:

<title>x86, cpu, amd: Add workaround for family 16h, erratum 793</title>

commit 3b56496865f9f7d9bcb2f93b44c63f274f08e3b6 upstream.

This adds the workaround for erratum 793 as a precaution in case not
every BIOS implements it.  This addresses CVE-2013-6885.

Erratum text:

[Revision Guide for AMD Family 16h Models 00h-0Fh Processors,
document 51810 Rev. 3.04 November 2013]

793 Specific Combination of Writes to Write Combined Memory Types and
Locked Instructions May Cause Core Hang

Description

Under a highly specific and detailed set of internal timing
conditions, a locked instruction may trigger a timing sequence whereby
the write to a write combined memory type is not flushed, causing the
locked instruction to stall indefinitely.

Potential Effect on System

Processor core hang.

Suggested Workaround

BIOS should set MSR
C001_1020[15] = 1b.

Fix Planned

No fix planned

[ hpa: updated description, fixed typo in MSR name ]
