[ Upstream commit 26d5bb9e4c ]
FMAN DMA read or writes under heavy traffic load may cause FMAN
internal resource leak; thus stopping further packet processing.
The FMAN internal queue can overflow when FMAN splits single
read or write transactions into multiple smaller transactions
such that more than 17 AXI transactions are in flight from FMAN
to interconnect. When the FMAN internal queue overflows, it can
stall further packet processing. The issue can occur with any one
of the following three conditions:
1. FMAN AXI transaction crosses 4K address boundary (Errata
A010022)
2. FMAN DMA address for an AXI transaction is not 16 byte
aligned, i.e. the last 4 bits of an address are non-zero
3. Scatter Gather (SG) frames have more than one SG buffer in
the SG list and any one of the buffers, except the last
buffer in the SG list has data size that is not a multiple
of 16 bytes, i.e., other than 16, 32, 48, 64, etc.
With any one of the above three conditions present, there is
likelihood of stalled FMAN packet processing, especially under
stress with multiple ports injecting line-rate traffic.
To avoid situations that stall FMAN packet processing, all of the
above three conditions must be avoided; therefore, configure the
system with the following rules:
1. Frame buffers must not span a 4KB address boundary, unless
the frame start address is 256 byte aligned
2. All FMAN DMA start addresses (for example, BMAN buffer
address, FD[address] + FD[offset]) are 16B aligned
3. SG table and buffer addresses are 16B aligned and the size
of SG buffers are multiple of 16 bytes, except for the last
SG buffer that can be of any size.
Additional workaround notes:
- Address alignment of 64 bytes is recommended for maximally
efficient system bus transactions (although 16 byte alignment is
sufficient to avoid the stall condition)
- To support frame sizes that are larger than 4K bytes, there are
two options:
1. Large single buffer frames that span a 4KB page boundary can
be converted into SG frames to avoid transaction splits at
the 4KB boundary,
2. Align the large single buffer to 256B address boundaries,
ensure that the frame address plus offset is 256B aligned.
- If software generated SG frames have buffers that are unaligned
and with random non-multiple of 16 byte lengths, before
transmitting such frames via FMAN, frames will need to be copied
into a new single buffer or multiple buffer SG frame that is
compliant with the three rules listed above.

commit d9a9f4849f upstream.
several iterations of ->atomic_open() calling conventions ago, we
used to need fput() if ->atomic_open() failed at some point after
successful finish_open(). Now (since 2016) it's not needed -
struct file carries enough state to make fput() work regardless
of the point in struct file lifecycle and discarding it on
failure exits in open() got unified. Unfortunately, I'd missed
the fact that we had an instance of ->atomic_open() (cifs one)
that used to need that fput(), as well as the stale comment in
finish_open() demanding such late failure handling. Trivially
fixed...

This patch adds a bit-banging gpio PWM driver. It makes use of hrtimers,
to allow nano-second resolution, though it obviously strongly depends on
the switching speed of the gpio pins, hrtimer and system load.
Each pwm node can have 1 or more "pwm-gpio" entries, which will be
treated as pwm's as part of a pwm chip.

It has two main use cases:
1) Allow drivers to reset their hardware via a GPIO line in a standard fashion
as supplied by the reset framework.
This allows adhoc driver code requesting GPIOs etc to be replaced with a
single call to device_reset().
2) Allow hardware on discoverable busses to be rest via a GPIO line
without driver modifications.
Examples of the second use case include:
* SDIO wifi modules
* USB hub chips with a reset line
In this second use case the reset has to be done externally to the driver
managing the hardware since resetting the device from the driver's probe()
method will either do nothing (if the device needs to be reset before
ennumeration will work) or cause racy beahviour (when the device disappears
from the bus during probe()).
So, in addition to providing a gpio based reset controller implementation
it is also possible to reset devices at boot via a DT property or from
userspace on request via sysfs attributes.

commit 64870ed1b1 upstream.
For MDS vulnerable processors with TSX support, enabling either MDS or
TAA mitigations will enable the use of VERW to flush internal processor
buffers at the right code path. IOW, they are either both mitigated
or both not. However, if the command line options are inconsistent,
the vulnerabilites sysfs files may not report the mitigation status
correctly.
For example, with only the "mds=off" option:
vulnerabilities/mds:Vulnerable; SMT vulnerable
vulnerabilities/tsx_async_abort:Mitigation: Clear CPU buffers; SMT vulnerable
The mds vulnerabilities file has wrong status in this case. Similarly,
the taa vulnerability file will be wrong with mds mitigation on, but
taa off.
Change taa_select_mitigation() to sync up the two mitigation status
and have them turned off if both "mds=off" and "tsx_async_abort=off"
are present.
Update documentation to emphasize the fact that both "mds=off" and
"tsx_async_abort=off" have to be specified together for processors that
are affected by both TAA and MDS to be effective.

commit 1aa9b9572b upstream.
The page table pages corresponding to broken down large pages are zapped in
FIFO order, so that the large page can potentially be recovered, if it is
not longer being used for execution. This removes the performance penalty
for walking deeper EPT page tables.
By default, one large page will last about one hour once the guest
reaches a steady state.

commit b8e8c8303f upstream.
With some Intel processors, putting the same virtual address in the TLB
as both a 4 KiB and 2 MiB page can confuse the instruction fetch unit
and cause the processor to issue a machine check resulting in a CPU lockup.
Unfortunately when EPT page tables use huge pages, it is possible for a
malicious guest to cause this situation.
Add a knob to mark huge pages as non-executable. When the nx_huge_pages
parameter is enabled (and we are using EPT), all huge pages are marked as
NX. If the guest attempts to execute in one of those pages, the page is
broken down into 4K pages, which are then marked executable.
This is not an issue for shadow paging (except nested EPT), because then
the host is in control of TLB flushes and the problematic situation cannot
happen. With nested EPT, again the nested guest can cause problems shadow
and direct EPT is treated in the same way.
