[ Upstream commit 3c0a83b14ea71fef5ccc93a3bd2de5f892be3194 ]

The s390 CPU measurement facility sampling mode supports basic entries
and diagnostic entries. Each entry has a valid bit to indicate the
status of the entry as valid or invalid.

This bit is bit 31 in the diagnostic entry, but the bit mask definition
refers to bit 30.

Fix this by making the reserved field one bit larger.

[ Upstream commit 77715b7ddb446bd39a06f3376e85f4bb95b29bb8 ]

The CPU Measurement sampling facility creates a trailer entry for each
Sample-Data-Block of stored samples. The trailer entry contains the sizes
(in bytes) of the stored sampling types:
 - basic-sampling data entry size
 - diagnostic-sampling data entry size
Both sizes are 2 bytes long.

This patch changes the trailer entry definition to reflect this.

<title>s390/ftrace: use expoline for indirect branches</title>

commit 23a4d7fd34856da8218c4cfc23dba7a6ec0a423a upstream.

The return from the ftrace_stub, _mcount, ftrace_caller and
return_to_handler functions is done with "br %r14" and "br %r1".
These are indirect branches as well and need to use execute
trampolines for CONFIG_EXPOLINE=y.

The ftrace_caller function is a special case as it returns to the
start of a function and may only use %r0 and %r1. For a pre z10
machine the standard execute trampoline uses a LARL + EX to do
this, but this requires *two* registers in the range %r1..%r15.
To get around this the 'br %r1' located in the lowcore is used,
then the EX instruction does not need an address register.
But the lowcore trick may only be used for pre z14 machines,
with noexec=on the mapping for the first page may not contain
instructions. The solution for that is an ALTERNATIVE in the
expoline THUNK generated by 'GEN_BR_THUNK %r1' to switch to
EXRL, this relies on the fact that a machine that supports
noexec=on has EXRL as well.

The BPF JIT uses a 'b &lt;disp&gt;(%r&lt;x&gt;)' instruction in the definition
of the sk_load_word and sk_load_half functions.

Add support for branch-on-condition instructions contained in the
thunk code of an expoline.

in C files, with the same restrictions and capabilities.

<title>futex: Remove duplicated code and fix undefined behaviour</title>

commit 30d6e0a4190d37740e9447e4e4815f06992dd8c3 upstream.

There is code duplicated over all architecture's headers for
futex_atomic_op_inuser. Namely op decoding, access_ok check for uaddr,
and comparison of the result.

Remove this duplication and leave up to the arches only the needed
assembly which is now in arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser.

This effectively distributes the Will Deacon's arm64 fix for undefined
behaviour reported by UBSAN to all architectures. The fix was done in
commit 5f16a046f8e1 (arm64: futex: Fix undefined behaviour with
FUTEX_OP_OPARG_SHIFT usage). Look there for an example dump.

And as suggested by Thomas, check for negative oparg too, because it was
also reported to cause undefined behaviour report.

Note that s390 removed access_ok check in d12a29703 ("s390/uaccess:
remove pointless access_ok() checks") as access_ok there returns true.
We introduce it back to the helper for the sake of simplicity (it gets
optimized away anyway).

[ Upstream commit 6a3d1e81a434fc311f224b8be77258bafc18ccc6 ]

With CONFIG_EXPOLINE_AUTO=y the call of spectre_v2_auto_early() via
early_initcall is done *after* the early_param functions. This
overwrites any settings done with the nobp/no_spectre_v2/spectre_v2
parameters. The code patching for the kernel is done after the
evaluation of the early parameters but before the early_initcall
is done. The end result is a kernel image that is patched correctly
but the kernel modules are not.

Make sure that the nospec auto detection function is called before the
early parameters are evaluated and before the code patching is done.

[ Upstream commit 6e179d64126b909f0b288fa63cdbf07c531e9b1d ]

Automatically decide between nobp vs. expolines if the spectre_v2=auto
kernel parameter is specified or CONFIG_EXPOLINE_AUTO=y is set.

The decision made at boot time due to CONFIG_EXPOLINE_AUTO=y being set
can be overruled with the nobp, nospec and spectre_v2 kernel parameters.

<title>s390: introduce execute-trampolines for branches</title>

[ Upstream commit f19fbd5ed642dc31c809596412dab1ed56f2f156 ]

Add CONFIG_EXPOLINE to enable the use of the new -mindirect-branch= and
-mfunction_return= compiler options to create a kernel fortified against
the specte v2 attack.

With CONFIG_EXPOLINE=y all indirect branches will be issued with an
execute type instruction. For z10 or newer the EXRL instruction will
be used, for older machines the EX instruction. The typical indirect
call

	basr	%r14,%r1

is replaced with a PC relative call to a new thunk

	brasl	%r14,__s390x_indirect_jump_r1

The thunk contains the EXRL/EX instruction to the indirect branch

__s390x_indirect_jump_r1:
	exrl	0,0f
	j	.
0:	br	%r1

The detour via the execute type instruction has a performance impact.
To get rid of the detour the new kernel parameter "nospectre_v2" and
"spectre_v2=[on,off,auto]" can be used. If the parameter is specified
the kernel and module code will be patched at runtime.
