Pull arm64 fixes from Will Deacon: "A bumper crop of arm64 fixes for -rc3. The largest change is fixing our parsing of the 'rodata=full' command line option, which kstrtobool() started treating as 'rodata=false'. The fix actually makes the parsing of that option much less fragile and updates the documentation at the same time. We still have a boot issue pending when KASLR is disabled at compile time, but there's a fresh fix on the list which I'll send next week if it holds up to testing. Summary: - Fix workaround for Cortex-A76 erratum #1286807 - Add workaround for AMU erratum #2457168 on Cortex-A510 - Drop reference to removed CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM #define - Fix parsing of the "rodata=full" cmdline option - Fix a bunch of issues in the SME register state switching and sigframe code - Fix incorrect extraction of the CTR_EL0.CWG register field - Fix ACPI cache topology probing when the PPTT is not present - Trivial comment and whitespace fixes" * tag 'arm64-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux: arm64/sme: Don't flush SVE register state when handling SME traps arm64/sme: Don't flush SVE register state when allocating SME storage arm64/signal: Flush FPSIMD register state when disabling streaming mode arm64/signal: Raise limit on stack frames arm64/cache: Fix cache_type_cwg() for register generation arm64/sysreg: Guard SYS_FIELD_ macros for asm arm64/sysreg: Directly include bitfield.h arm64: cacheinfo: Fix incorrect assignment of signed error value to unsigned fw_level arm64: errata: add detection for AMEVCNTR01 incrementing incorrectly arm64: fix rodata=full arm64: Fix comment typo docs/arm64: elf_hwcaps: unify newlines in HWCAP lists arm64: adjust KASLR relocation after ARCH_RANDOM removal arm64: Fix match_list for erratum 1286807 on Arm Cortex-A76

docs: Update version number from 5.x to 6.x in README.rst

2022-08-25T18:45:10Z

A quick 'grep "5\.x" . -R' on Documentation shows that README.rst, 2.Process.rst and applying-patches.rst all mention the version number "5.x" for kernel releases. As the next release will be version 6.0, updating the version number to 6.x in README.rst seems reasonable. The description in 2.Process.rst is just a description of recent kernel releases, it was last updated in the beginning of 2020, and can be revisited at any time on a regular basis, independent of changing the version number from 5 to 6. So, there is no need to update this document now when transitioning from 5.x to 6.x numbering. The document applying-patches.rst is probably obsolete for most users anyway, a reader will sufficiently well understand the steps, even it mentions version 5 rather than version 6. So, do not update that to a version 6.x numbering scheme. Update version number from 5.x to 6.x in README.rst only.

net: Fix data-races around netdev_max_backlog.

While reading netdev_max_backlog, it can be changed concurrently. Thus, we need to add READ_ONCE() to its readers. While at it, we remove the unnecessary spaces in the doc. Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2") Signed-off-by: Kuniyuki Iwashima Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

arm64: fix rodata=full

2022-08-23T10:02:02Z

On arm64, "rodata=full" has been suppored (but not documented) since commit: c55191e96caa9d78 ("arm64: mm: apply r/o permissions of VM areas to its linear alias as well") As it's necessary to determine the rodata configuration early during boot, arm64 has an early_param() handler for this, whereas init/main.c has a __setup() handler which is run later. Unfortunately, this split meant that since commit: f9a40b0890658330 ("init/main.c: return 1 from handled __setup() functions") ... passing "rodata=full" would result in a spurious warning from the __setup() handler (though RO permissions would be configured appropriately). Further, "rodata=full" has been broken since commit: 0d6ea3ac94ca77c5 ("lib/kstrtox.c: add "false"/"true" support to kstrtobool()") ... which caused strtobool() to parse "full" as false (in addition to many other values not documented for the "rodata=" kernel parameter. This patch fixes this breakage by: * Moving the core parameter parser to an __early_param(), such that it is available early. * Adding an (optional) arch hook which arm64 can use to parse "full". * Updating the documentation to mention that "full" is valid for arm64. * Having the core parameter parser handle "on" and "off" explicitly, such that any undocumented values (e.g. typos such as "ful") are reported as errors rather than being silently accepted. Note that __setup() and early_param() have opposite conventions for their return values, where __setup() uses 1 to indicate a parameter was handled and early_param() uses 0 to indicate a parameter was handled. Fixes: f9a40b089065 ("init/main.c: return 1 from handled __setup() functions") Fixes: 0d6ea3ac94ca ("lib/kstrtox.c: add "false"/"true" support to kstrtobool()") Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland Cc: Andy Shevchenko Cc: Ard Biesheuvel Cc: Catalin Marinas Cc: Jagdish Gediya Cc: Matthew Wilcox Cc: Randy Dunlap Cc: Will Deacon Reviewed-by: Ard Biesheuvel Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220817154022.3974645-1-mark.rutland@arm.com Signed-off-by: Will Deacon

x86/bugs: Add "unknown" reporting for MMIO Stale Data

2022-08-18T13:35:22Z

Older Intel CPUs that are not in the affected processor list for MMIO Stale Data vulnerabilities currently report "Not affected" in sysfs, which may not be correct. Vulnerability status for these older CPUs is unknown. Add known-not-affected CPUs to the whitelist. Report "unknown" mitigation status for CPUs that are not in blacklist, whitelist and also don't enumerate MSR ARCH_CAPABILITIES bits that reflect hardware immunity to MMIO Stale Data vulnerabilities. Mitigation is not deployed when the status is unknown.
