[ Upstream commit 0303c9729afc4094ef53e552b7b8cff7436028d6 ]

Niklāvs reported a boot regression on an Alderlake machine and bisected it
to commit 9df9d2f0471b ("init: Invoke arch_cpu_finalize_init() earlier").

By moving the invocation of arch_cpu_finalize_init() further down he
identified that efi_enter_virtual_mode() is the function which causes the
boot hang.

The main difference of the earlier invocation is that the boot CPU is
already fully initialized and mitigations and alternatives are applied.

But the only really interesting change turned out to be IBT, which is now
enabled before efi_enter_virtual_mode(). "ibt=off" on the kernel command
line cured the problem.

Inspection of the involved calls in efi_enter_virtual_mode() unearthed that
efi_set_virtual_address_map() is the only place in the kernel which invokes
an EFI call without the IBT safe wrapper. This went obviously unnoticed so
far as IBT was enabled later.

Use arch_efi_call_virt() instead of efi_call() to cure that.

<title>arm64: sme: Use STR P to clear FFR context field in streaming SVE mode</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 893b24181b4c4bf1fa2841b1ed192e5413a97cb1 ]

The FFR is a predicate register which can vary between 16 and 256 bits
in size depending upon the configured vector length. When saving the
SVE state in streaming SVE mode, the FFR register is inaccessible and
so commit 9f5848665788 ("arm64/sve: Make access to FFR optional") simply
clears the FFR field of the in-memory context structure. Unfortunately,
it achieves this using an unconditional 8-byte store and so if the SME
vector length is anything other than 64 bytes in size we will either
fail to clear the entire field or, worse, we will corrupt memory
immediately following the structure. This has led to intermittent kfence
splats in CI [1] and can trigger kmalloc Redzone corruption messages
when running the 'fp-stress' kselftest:

 | =============================================================================
 | BUG kmalloc-1k (Not tainted): kmalloc Redzone overwritten
 | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 |
 | 0xffff000809bf1e22-0xffff000809bf1e27 @offset=7714. First byte 0x0 instead of 0xcc
 | Allocated in do_sme_acc+0x9c/0x220 age=2613 cpu=1 pid=531
 |  __kmalloc+0x8c/0xcc
 |  do_sme_acc+0x9c/0x220
 |  ...

Replace the 8-byte store with a store of a predicate register which has
been zero-initialised with PFALSE, ensuring that the entire field is
cleared in memory.

<title>ARC: define ASM_NL and __ALIGN(_STR) outside #ifdef __ASSEMBLY__ guard</title>

[ Upstream commit 92e2921eeafdfca9acd9b83f07d2b7ca099bac24 ]

ASM_NL is useful not only in *.S files but also in .c files for using
inline assembler in C code.

On ARC, however, ASM_NL is evaluated inconsistently. It is expanded to
a backquote (`) in *.S files, but a semicolon (;) in *.c files because
arch/arc/include/asm/linkage.h defines it inside #ifdef __ASSEMBLY__,
so the definition for C code falls back to the default value defined in
include/linux/linkage.h.

If ASM_NL is used in inline assembler in .c files, it will result in
wrong assembly code because a semicolon is not an instruction separator,
but the start of a comment for ARC.

Move ASM_NL (also __ALIGN and __ALIGN_STR) out of the #ifdef.

Fixes: 9df62f054406 ("arch: use ASM_NL instead of ';' for assembler new line character in the macro")

[ Upstream commit b684c09f09e7a6af3794d4233ef785819e72db79 ]

ppc_save_regs() skips one stack frame while saving the CPU register states.
Instead of saving current R1, it pulls the previous stack frame pointer.

When vmcores caused by direct panic call (such as `echo c &gt;
/proc/sysrq-trigger`), are debugged with gdb, gdb fails to show the
backtrace correctly. On further analysis, it was found that it was because
of mismatch between r1 and NIP.

GDB uses NIP to get current function symbol and uses corresponding debug
info of that function to unwind previous frames, but due to the
mismatching r1 and NIP, the unwinding does not work, and it fails to
unwind to the 2nd frame and hence does not show the backtrace.

GDB backtrace with vmcore of kernel without this patch:

---------

Further analysis revealed that the mismatch occurred because
"ppc_save_regs" was saving the previous stack's SP instead of the current
r1. This patch fixes this by storing current r1 in the saved pt_regs.

[ Upstream commit b684c09f09e7a6af3794d4233ef785819e72db79 ]

ppc_save_regs() skips one stack frame while saving the CPU register states.
Instead of saving current R1, it pulls the previous stack frame pointer.

When vmcores caused by direct panic call (such as `echo c &gt;
/proc/sysrq-trigger`), are debugged with gdb, gdb fails to show the
backtrace correctly. On further analysis, it was found that it was because
of mismatch between r1 and NIP.

GDB uses NIP to get current function symbol and uses corresponding debug
info of that function to unwind previous frames, but due to the
mismatching r1 and NIP, the unwinding does not work, and it fails to
unwind to the 2nd frame and hence does not show the backtrace.

[ Upstream commit f4f913c980bc6abe0ccfe88fe3909c125afe4a2d ]

Currently pointer iov is being dereferenced before the null check of iov
which can lead to null pointer dereference errors. Fix this by moving the
iov null check before the dereferencing.

Detected using cppcheck static analysis:
linux/arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/pci-sriov.c:597:12: warning: Either
the condition '!iov' is redundant or there is possible null pointer
dereference: iov. [nullPointerRedundantCheck]

<title>powerpc/signal32: Force inlining of __unsafe_save_user_regs() and save_tm_user_regs_unsafe()</title>

[ Upstream commit a03b1a0b19398a47489fdcef02ec19c2ba05a15d ]

Looking at generated code for handle_signal32() shows calls to a
function called __unsafe_save_user_regs.constprop.0 while user access
is open.

And that __unsafe_save_user_regs.constprop.0 function has two nops at
the begining, allowing it to be traced, which is unexpected during
user access open window.

The solution could be to mark __unsafe_save_user_regs() no trace, but
to be on the safe side the most efficient is to flag it __always_inline
as already done for function __unsafe_restore_general_regs(). The
function is relatively small and only called twice, so the size
increase will remain in the noise.

Do the same with save_tm_user_regs_unsafe() as it may suffer the
same issue.
