[ Upstream commit 8ff00399b153440c1c83e20c43020385b416415b ]

powerpc/64s keeps a counter in the mm which counts bits set in
mm_cpumask as well as other things. This means it can't use generic code
to clear bits out of the mask and doesn't adjust the arch specific
counter.

Add an arch override that allows powerpc/64s to use
clear_tasks_mm_cpumask().

commit 34d66caf251df91ff27b24a3a786810d29989eca upstream.

With commit a74cfffb03b7 ("x86/speculation: Rework SMT state change"),
arch_smt_update() is invoked from each individual CPU hotplug function.

Therefore the extra arch_smt_update() call in the sysfs SMT control is
redundant.

<title>cpu/hotplug, stop_machine: Fix stop_machine vs hotplug order</title>

[ Upstream commit 45178ac0cea853fe0e405bf11e101bdebea57b15 ]

Paul reported a very sporadic, rcutorture induced, workqueue failure.
When the planets align, the workqueue rescuer's self-migrate fails and
then triggers a WARN for running a work on the wrong CPU.

Tejun then figured that set_cpus_allowed_ptr()'s stop_one_cpu() call
could be ignored! When stopper-&gt;enabled is false, stop_machine will
insta complete the work, without actually doing the work. Worse, it
will not WARN about this (we really should fix this).

It turns out there is a small window where a freshly online'ed CPU is
marked 'online' but doesn't yet have the stopper task running:

	BP				AP

	bringup_cpu()
	  __cpu_up(cpu, idle)	 --&gt;	start_secondary()
					...
					cpu_startup_entry()
	  bringup_wait_for_ap()
	    wait_for_ap_thread() &lt;--	  cpuhp_online_idle()
					  while (1)
					    do_idle()

					... available to run kthreads ...

	    stop_machine_unpark()
	      stopper-&gt;enable = true;

Close this by moving the stop_machine_unpark() into
cpuhp_online_idle(), such that the stopper thread is ready before we
start the idle loop and schedule.

When booting with "nosmt=force" a message is issued into dmesg to
confirm that SMT has been force-disabled but such a message is not
issued when only "nosmt" is on the kernel command line.

Fix that.

commit 731dc9df975a5da21237a18c3384f811a7a41cc6 upstream.

A kernel module may need to check the value of the "mitigations=" kernel
command line parameter as part of its setup when the module needs
to perform software mitigations for a CPU flaw.

Uninline and export the helper functions surrounding the cpu_mitigations
enum to allow for their usage from a module.

Lastly, privatize the enum and cpu_mitigations variable since the value of
cpu_mitigations can be checked with the exported helper functions.

<content type='text'>
commit 1bf72720281770162c87990697eae1ba2f1d917a upstream.

Currently, if the user specifies an unsupported mitigation strategy on the
kernel command line, it will be ignored silently.  The code will fall back
to the default strategy, possibly leaving the system more vulnerable than
expected.

This may happen due to e.g. a simple typo, or, for a stable kernel release,
because not all mitigation strategies have been backported.

Inform the user by printing a message.

commit 1bf72720281770162c87990697eae1ba2f1d917a upstream.

Currently, if the user specifies an unsupported mitigation strategy on the
kernel command line, it will be ignored silently.  The code will fall back
to the default strategy, possibly leaving the system more vulnerable than
expected.

This may happen due to e.g. a simple typo, or, for a stable kernel release,
because not all mitigation strategies have been backported.

Inform the user by printing a message.

<title>x86/power: Fix 'nosmt' vs hibernation triple fault during resume</title>

commit ec527c318036a65a083ef68d8ba95789d2212246 upstream.

As explained in

	0cc3cd21657b ("cpu/hotplug: Boot HT siblings at least once")

we always, no matter what, have to bring up x86 HT siblings during boot at
least once in order to avoid first MCE bringing the system to its knees.

That means that whenever 'nosmt' is supplied on the kernel command-line,
all the HT siblings are as a result sitting in mwait or cpudile after
going through the online-offline cycle at least once.

This causes a serious issue though when a kernel, which saw 'nosmt' on its
commandline, is going to perform resume from hibernation: if the resume
from the hibernated image is successful, cr3 is flipped in order to point
to the address space of the kernel that is being resumed, which in turn
means that all the HT siblings are all of a sudden mwaiting on address
which is no longer valid.

That results in triple fault shortly after cr3 is switched, and machine
reboots.

Fix this by always waking up all the SMT siblings before initiating the
'restore from hibernation' process; this guarantees that all the HT
siblings will be properly carried over to the resumed kernel waiting in
resume_play_dead(), and acted upon accordingly afterwards, based on the
target kernel configuration.

Symmetricaly, the resumed kernel has to push the SMT siblings to mwait
again in case it has SMT disabled; this means it has to online all
the siblings when resuming (so that they come out of hlt) and offline
them again to let them reach mwait.

commit 98af8452945c55652de68536afdde3b520fec429 upstream

Keeping track of the number of mitigations for all the CPU speculation
bugs has become overwhelming for many users.  It's getting more and more
complicated to decide which mitigations are needed for a given
architecture.  Complicating matters is the fact that each arch tends to
have its own custom way to mitigate the same vulnerability.

Most users fall into a few basic categories:

a) they want all mitigations off;

b) they want all reasonable mitigations on, with SMT enabled even if
   it's vulnerable; or

c) they want all reasonable mitigations on, with SMT disabled if
   vulnerable.

Define a set of curated, arch-independent options, each of which is an
aggregation of existing options:

- mitigations=off: Disable all mitigations.

- mitigations=auto: [default] Enable all the default mitigations, but
  leave SMT enabled, even if it's vulnerable.

- mitigations=auto,nosmt: Enable all the default mitigations, disabling
  SMT if needed by a mitigation.

Currently, these options are placeholders which don't actually do
anything.  They will be fleshed out in upcoming patches.

[ Upstream commit ce48c457b95316b9a01b5aa9d4456ce820df94b4 ]

Since we've had:

  commit cb538267ea1e ("jump_label/lockdep: Assert we hold the hotplug lock for _cpuslocked() operations")

we've been getting some lockdep warnings during init, such as on HiKey960:

We've also had a similar warning in sched_init_smp() for every
asymmetric system that would enable the sched_asym_cpucapacity static
key, although that was singled out in:

  commit 40fa3780bac2 ("sched/core: Take the hotplug lock in sched_init_smp()")

Those warnings are actually harmless, since we cannot have hotplug
operations at the time they appear. Instead of starting to sprinkle
useless hotplug lock operations in the init codepaths, mute the
warnings until they start warning about real problems.

We've also had a similar warning in sched_init_smp() for every
asymmetric system that would enable the sched_asym_cpucapacity static
key, although that was singled out in:

  commit 40fa3780bac2 ("sched/core: Take the hotplug lock in sched_init_smp()")

Those warnings are actually harmless, since we cannot have hotplug
operations at the time they appear. Instead of starting to sprinkle
useless hotplug lock operations in the init codepaths, mute the
warnings until they start warning about real problems.
