<title>powerpc/PCI: Disable MSI/MSI-X interrupts at PCI probe time in OF case</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4d9aac397a5d8f4ee26a4178b5e4a5c474a3a76a</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit 1851617cd2da ("PCI/MSI: Disable MSI at enumeration even if
kernel doesn't support MSI"), the setup of dev-&gt;msi_cap/msix_cap and the
disable of MSI/MSI-X interrupts isn't being done at PCI probe time, as
the logic responsible for this was moved in the aforementioned commit
from pci_device_add() to pci_setup_device(). The latter function is not
reachable on PowerPC pseries platform during Open Firmware PCI probing
time.

This exhibits as drivers not being able to enable MSI, eg:

  bnx2x 0000:01:00.0: no msix capability found

This patch calls pci_msi_setup_pci_dev() explicitly to disable MSI/MSI-X
during PCI probe time on pSeries platform.

Fixes: 1851617cd2da ("PCI/MSI: Disable MSI at enumeration even if kernel doesn't support MSI")

<title>signal: fix information leak in copy_siginfo_from_user32</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3c00cb5e68dc719f2fc73a33b1b230aadfcb1309</id>
<content type='text'>
This function can leak kernel stack data when the user siginfo_t has a
positive si_code value.  The top 16 bits of si_code descibe which fields
in the siginfo_t union are active, but they are treated inconsistently
between copy_siginfo_from_user32, copy_siginfo_to_user32 and
copy_siginfo_to_user.

copy_siginfo_from_user32 is called from rt_sigqueueinfo and
rt_tgsigqueueinfo in which the user has full control overthe top 16 bits
of si_code.

This fixes the following information leaks:
x86:   8 bytes leaked when sending a signal from a 32-bit process to
       itself. This leak grows to 16 bytes if the process uses x32.
       (si_code = __SI_CHLD)
x86:   100 bytes leaked when sending a signal from a 32-bit process to
       a 64-bit process. (si_code = -1)
sparc: 4 bytes leaked when sending a signal from a 32-bit process to a
       64-bit process. (si_code = any)

parsic and s390 have similar bugs, but they are not vulnerable because
rt_[tg]sigqueueinfo have checks that prevent sending a positive si_code
to a different process.  These bugs are also fixed for consistency.

<title>powerpc/powernv: Fix race in updating core_idle_state</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b32aadc1a8ed84afbe924cd2ced31cd6a2e67074</id>
<content type='text'>
core_idle_state is maintained for each core. It uses 0-7 bits to track
whether a thread in the core has entered fastsleep or winkle. 8th bit is
used as a lock bit.
The lock bit is set in these 2 scenarios-
 - The thread is first in subcore to wakeup from sleep/winkle.
 - If its the last thread in the core about to enter sleep/winkle

While the lock bit is set, if any other thread in the core wakes up, it
loops until the lock bit is cleared before proceeding in the wakeup
path. This helps prevent race conditions w.r.t fastsleep workaround and
prevents threads from switching to process context before core/subcore
resources are restored.

But, in the path to sleep/winkle entry, we currently don't check for
lock-bit. This exposes us to following race when running with subcore
on-

First thread in the subcorea		Another thread in the same
waking up		   		core entering sleep/winkle

lwarx   r15,0,r14
ori     r15,r15,PNV_CORE_IDLE_LOCK_BIT
stwcx.  r15,0,r14
[Code to restore subcore state]

						lwarx   r15,0,r14
						[clear thread bit]
						stwcx.  r15,0,r14

andi.   r15,r15,PNV_CORE_IDLE_THREAD_BITS
stw     r15,0(r14)

Here, after the thread entering sleep clears its thread bit in
core_idle_state, the value is overwritten by the thread waking up.
In such cases when the core enters fastsleep, code mistakes an idle
thread as running. Because of this, the first thread waking up from
fastsleep which is supposed to resync timebase skips it. So we can
end up having a core with stale timebase value.

This patch fixes the above race by looping on the lock bit even while
entering the idle states.

Pull module_init replacement part one from Paul Gortmaker:
 "Replace module_init with equivalent device_initcall in non modules.

  This series of commits converts non-modular code that is using the
  module_init() call to hook itself into the system to instead use
  device_initcall().

  The conversion is a runtime no-op, since module_init actually becomes
  __initcall in the non-modular case, and that in turn gets mapped onto
  device_initcall.  A couple files show a larger negative diffstat,
  representing ones that had a module_exit function that we remove here
  vs previously relying on the linker to dispose of it.

  We make this conversion now, so that we can relocate module_init from
  init.h into module.h in the future.

  The files changed here are just limited to those that would otherwise
  have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, in order to avoid
  a compile fail, as testing has shown"

This replaces the plain loop over the sglist array with for_each_sg()
macro which consists of sg_next() function calls.  Since powerpc does
select ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN, it is necessary to use for_each_sg() in order
to loop over each sg element.  This also help find problems with drivers
that do not properly initialize their sg tables when CONFIG_DEBUG_SG is
enabled.

 "Mostly refactoring/clean-up:

   - CPU ops and PSCI (Power State Coordination Interface) refactoring
     following the merging of the arm64 ACPI support, together with
     handling of Trusted (secure) OS instances

   - Using fixmap for permanent FDT mapping, removing the initial dtb
     placement requirements (within 512MB from the start of the kernel
     image).  This required moving the FDT self reservation out of the
     memreserve processing

   - Idmap (1:1 mapping used for MMU on/off) handling clean-up

   - Removing flush_cache_all() - not safe on ARM unless the MMU is off.
     Last stages of CPU power down/up are handled by firmware already

   - "Alternatives" (run-time code patching) refactoring and support for
     immediate branch patching, GICv3 CPU interface access

   - User faults handling clean-up

  And some fixes:

   - Fix for VDSO building with broken ELF toolchains

   - Fix another case of init_mm.pgd usage for user mappings (during
     ASID roll-over broadcasting)

   - Fix for FPSIMD reloading after CPU hotplug

   - Fix for missing syscall trace exit

   - Workaround for .inst asm bug
