(cherry picked from commit 37a8f7c383)
The TS_COMPAT bit is very hot and is accessed from code paths that mostly
also touch thread_info::flags. Move it into struct thread_info to improve
cache locality.
The only reason it was in thread_struct is that there was a brief period
during which arch-specific fields were not allowed in struct thread_info.
Linus suggested further changing:
ti->status &= ~(TS_COMPAT|TS_I386_REGS_POKED);
to:
if (unlikely(ti->status & (TS_COMPAT|TS_I386_REGS_POKED)))
ti->status &= ~(TS_COMPAT|TS_I386_REGS_POKED);
on the theory that frequently dirtying the cacheline even in pure 64-bit
code that never needs to modify status hurts performance. That could be a
reasonable followup patch, but I suspect it matters less on top of this
patch.

(cherry picked from commit caf7501a1b)
There's a risk that a kernel which has full retpoline mitigations becomes
vulnerable when a module gets loaded that hasn't been compiled with the
right compiler or the right option.
To enable detection of that mismatch at module load time, add a module info
string "retpoline" at build time when the module was compiled with
retpoline support. This only covers compiled C source, but assembler source
or prebuilt object files are not checked.
If a retpoline enabled kernel detects a non retpoline protected module at
load time, print a warning and report it in the sysfs vulnerability file.

commit 794b4bc292 upstream.
With the 'encrypted' key type it was possible for userspace to provide a
data blob ending with a master key description shorter than expected,
e.g. 'keyctl add encrypted desc "new x" @s'. When validating such a
master key description, validate_master_desc() could read beyond the end
of the buffer. Fix this by using strncmp() instead of memcmp(). [Also
clean up the code to deduplicate some logic.]

commit a15a753539 upstream.
Doing so is completely void of sense for multiple reasons so prevent
it. Set dis_ucode_ldr to true and thus disable the microcode loader by
default to address xen pv guests which execute the AP path but not the
BSP path.
By having it turned off by default, the APs won't run into the loader
either.
Also, check CPUID(1).ECX[31] which hypervisors set. Well almost, not the
xen pv one. That one gets the aforementioned "fix".
Also, improve the detection method by caching the final decision whether
to continue loading in dis_ucode_ldr and do it once on the BSP. The APs
then simply test that value.

commit 520a13c530 upstream.
The kernel test bot (run by Xiaolong Ye) reported that the following commit:
f5caf621ee ("x86/asm: Fix inline asm call constraints for Clang")
is causing double faults in a kernel compiled with GCC 4.4.
Linus subsequently diagnosed the crash pattern and the buggy commit and found that
the issue is with this code:
register unsigned int __asm_call_sp asm("esp");
#define ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT "+r" (__asm_call_sp)
Even on a 64-bit kernel, it's using ESP instead of RSP. That causes GCC
to produce the following bogus code:
ffffffff8147461d: 89 e0 mov %esp,%eax
ffffffff8147461f: 4c 89 f7 mov %r14,%rdi
ffffffff81474622: 4c 89 fe mov %r15,%rsi
ffffffff81474625: ba 20 00 00 00 mov $0x20,%edx
ffffffff8147462a: 89 c4 mov %eax,%esp
ffffffff8147462c: e8 bf 52 05 00 callq ffffffff814c98f0 <copy_user_generic_unrolled>
Despite the absurdity of it backing up and restoring the stack pointer
for no reason, the bug is actually the fact that it's only backing up
and restoring the lower 32 bits of the stack pointer. The upper 32 bits
are getting cleared out, corrupting the stack pointer.
So change the '__asm_call_sp' register variable to be associated with
the actual full-size stack pointer.
This also requires changing the __ASM_SEL() macro to be based on the
actual compiled arch size, rather than the CONFIG value, because
CONFIG_X86_64 compiles some files with '-m32' (e.g., realmode and vdso).
Otherwise Clang fails to build the kernel because it complains about the
use of a 64-bit register (RSP) in a 32-bit file.

[ Upstream commit 7ece54a60e ]
If a sk_v6_rcv_saddr is !IPV6_ADDR_ANY and !IPV6_ADDR_MAPPED, it
implicitly implies it is an ipv6only socket. However, in inet6_bind(),
this addr_type checking and setting sk->sk_ipv6only to 1 are only done
after sk->sk_prot->get_port(sk, snum) has been completed successfully.
This inconsistency between sk_v6_rcv_saddr and sk_ipv6only confuses
the 'get_port()'.
In particular, when binding SO_REUSEPORT UDP sockets,
udp_reuseport_add_sock(sk,...) is called. udp_reuseport_add_sock()
checks "ipv6_only_sock(sk2) == ipv6_only_sock(sk)" before adding sk to
sk2->sk_reuseport_cb. In this case, ipv6_only_sock(sk2) could be
1 while ipv6_only_sock(sk) is still 0 here. The end result is,
reuseport_alloc(sk) is called instead of adding sk to the existing
sk2->sk_reuseport_cb.
It can be reproduced by binding two SO_REUSEPORT UDP sockets on an
IPv6 address (!ANY and !MAPPED). Only one of the socket will
receive packet.
The fix is to set the implicit sk_ipv6only before calling get_port().
The original sk_ipv6only has to be saved such that it can be restored
in case get_port() failed. The situation is similar to the
inet_reset_saddr(sk) after get_port() has failed.
Thanks to Calvin Owens <calvinowens@fb.com> who created an easy
reproduction which leads to a fix.

[ Upstream commit 3aff3b4b98 ]
This commit fixes the pacing_gain to remain at BBR_UNIT (1.0) when
using lt_bw and returning from the PROBE_RTT state to PROBE_BW.
Previously, when using lt_bw, upon exiting PROBE_RTT and entering
PROBE_BW the bbr_reset_probe_bw_mode() code could sometimes randomly
end up with a cycle_idx of 0 and hence have bbr_advance_cycle_phase()
set a pacing gain above 1.0. In such cases this would result in a
pacing rate that is 1.25x higher than intended, potentially resulting
in a high loss rate for a little while until we stop using the lt_bw a
bit later.
This commit is a stable candidate for kernels back as far as 4.9.

setserial changes the IRQ via uart_set_info(). It invokes
uart_shutdown() which free the current used IRQ and clear
TTY_PORT_INITIALIZED. It will then update the IRQ number and invoke
uart_startup() before returning to the caller leaving
TTY_PORT_INITIALIZED cleared.
The next open will crash with
| list_add double add: new=ffffffff839fcc98, prev=ffffffff839fcc98, next=ffffffff839fcc98.
since the close from the IOCTL won't free the IRQ (and clean the list)
due to the TTY_PORT_INITIALIZED check in uart_shutdown().
There is same pattern in uart_do_autoconfig() and I *think* it also
needs to set TTY_PORT_INITIALIZED there.
Is there a reason why uart_startup() does not set the flag by itself
after the IRQ has been acquired (since it is cleared in uart_shutdown)?

Vince reported perf_fuzzer quickly locks up on 4.15-rc7 with PTI;
Robert reported Bad RIP with KPTI and Intel BTS also on 4.15-rc7:
honggfuzz -f /tmp/somedirectorywithatleastonefile \
--linux_perf_bts_edge -s -- /bin/true
(honggfuzz from https://github.com/google/honggfuzz) crashed with
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff9d3215100000
(then narrowed it down to
perf record --per-thread -e intel_bts//u -- /bin/ls).
The intel_bts driver does not use the 'normal' BTS buffer which is
exposed through kaiser_add_mapping(), but instead uses the memory
allocated for the perf AUX buffer.
This obviously comes apart when using PTI, because then the kernel
mapping, which includes that AUX buffer memory, disappears while
switched to user page tables.
Easily fixed in old-Kaiser backports, by applying kaiser_add_mapping()
to those pages; perhaps not so easy for upstream, where 4.15-rc8 commit
99a9dc98ba ("x86,perf: Disable intel_bts when PTI") disables for now.
Slightly reorganized surrounding code in bts_buffer_setup_aux(),
so it can better match bts_buffer_free_aux(): free_aux with an #ifdef
to avoid the loop when PTI is off, but setup_aux needs to loop anyway
(and kaiser_add_mapping() is cheap when PTI config is off or "pti=off").
