After building the kernel with Clang, the following section mismatch
warning appears:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x3bf19a6): Section mismatch in reference from
the function ssc_probe() to the function
.init.text:atmel_ssc_get_driver_data()
The function ssc_probe() references
the function __init atmel_ssc_get_driver_data().
This is often because ssc_probe lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of atmel_ssc_get_driver_data is wrong.

Remove __init from atmel_ssc_get_driver_data to get rid of the mismatch.

<title>drivers/misc/sgi-gru: fix Spectre v1 vulnerability</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fee05f455ceb5c670cbe48e2f9454ebc4a388554</id>
<content type='text'>
req.gid can be indirectly controlled by user-space, hence leading to
a potential exploitation of the Spectre variant 1 vulnerability.

This issue was detected with the help of Smatch:

vers/misc/sgi-gru/grukdump.c:200 gru_dump_chiplet_request() warn:
potential spectre issue 'gru_base' [w]

Fix this by sanitizing req.gid before calling macro GID_TO_GRU, which
uses it to index gru_base.

Notice that given that speculation windows are large, the policy is
to kill the speculation on the first load and not worry if it can be
completed with a dependent load/store [1].

Pull stackleak gcc plugin from Kees Cook:
 "Please pull this new GCC plugin, stackleak, for v4.20-rc1. This plugin
  was ported from grsecurity by Alexander Popov. It provides efficient
  stack content poisoning at syscall exit. This creates a defense
  against at least two classes of flaws:

   - Uninitialized stack usage. (We continue to work on improving the
     compiler to do this in other ways: e.g. unconditional zero init was
     proposed to GCC and Clang, and more plugin work has started too).

   - Stack content exposure. By greatly reducing the lifetime of valid
     stack contents, exposures via either direct read bugs or unknown
     cache side-channels become much more difficult to exploit. This
     complements the existing buddy and heap poisoning options, but
     provides the coverage for stacks.

  The x86 hooks are included in this series (which have been reviewed by
  Ingo, Dave Hansen, and Thomas Gleixner). The arm64 hooks have already
  been merged through the arm64 tree (written by Laura Abbott and
  reviewed by Mark Rutland and Will Deacon).

  With VLAs having been removed this release, there is no need for
  alloca() protection, so it has been removed from the plugin"

Revert 5ff7091f5a2ca ("mm, mmu_notifier: annotate mmu notifiers with
blockable invalidate callbacks").

MMU_INVALIDATE_DOES_NOT_BLOCK flags was the only one used and it is no
longer needed since 93065ac753e4 ("mm, oom: distinguish blockable mode for
mmu notifiers").  We now have a full support for per range !blocking
behavior so we can drop the stop gap workaround which the per notifier
flag was used for.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Notable changes:

   - A large series to rewrite our SLB miss handling, replacing a lot of
     fairly complicated asm with much fewer lines of C.

   - Following on from that, we now maintain a cache of SLB entries for
     each process and preload them on context switch. Leading to a 27%
     speedup for our context switch benchmark on Power9.

   - Improvements to our handling of SLB multi-hit errors. We now print
     more debug information when they occur, and try to continue running
     by flushing the SLB and reloading, rather than treating them as
     fatal.

   - Enable THP migration on 64-bit Book3S machines (eg. Power7/8/9).

   - Add support for physical memory up to 2PB in the linear mapping on
     64-bit Book3S. We only support up to 512TB as regular system
     memory, otherwise the percpu allocator runs out of vmalloc space.

   - Add stack protector support for 32 and 64-bit, with a per-task
     canary.

   - Add support for PTRACE_SYSEMU and PTRACE_SYSEMU_SINGLESTEP.

   - Support recognising "big cores" on Power9, where two SMT4 cores are
     presented to us as a single SMT8 core.

   - A large series to cleanup some of our ioremap handling and PTE
     flags.

   - Add a driver for the PAPR SCM (storage class memory) interface,
     allowing guests to operate on SCM devices (acked by Dan).

   - Changes to our ftrace code to handle very large kernels, where we
     need to use a trampoline to get to ftrace_caller().

  And many other smaller enhancements and cleanups.
