Pull x86/pti updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Yet another pile of melted spectrum related updates:

   - Drop native vsyscall support finally as it causes more trouble than
     benefit.

   - Make microcode loading more robust. There were a few issues
     especially related to late loading which are now surfacing because
     late loading of the IB* microcodes addressing spectre issues has
     become more widely used.

   - Simplify and robustify the syscall handling in the entry code

   - Prevent kprobes on the entry trampoline code which lead to kernel
     crashes when the probe hits before CR3 is updated

   - Don't check microcode versions when running on hypervisors as they
     are considered as lying anyway.

   - Fix the 32bit objtool build and a coment typo"

A recent update to the ARM SMCCC ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 specification
allows firmware to return a non zero, positive value to describe
that although the mitigation is implemented at the higher exception
level, the CPU on which the call is made is not affected.

Let's relax the check on the return value from ARCH_WORKAROUND_1
so that we only error out if the returned value is negative.

<title>x86/kprobes: Fix kernel crash when probing .entry_trampoline code</title>

<id>c07a8f8b08ba683ea24f3ac9159f37ae94daf47f</id>
<content type='text'>
Disable the kprobe probing of the entry trampoline:

.entry_trampoline is a code area that is used to ensure page table
isolation between userspace and kernelspace.

At the beginning of the execution of the trampoline, we load the
kernel's CR3 register. This has the effect of enabling the translation
of the kernel virtual addresses to physical addresses. Before this
happens most kernel addresses can not be translated because the running
process' CR3 is still used.

If a kprobe is placed on the trampoline code before that change of the
CR3 register happens the kernel crashes because int3 handling pages are
not accessible.

To fix this, add the .entry_trampoline section to the kprobe blacklist
to prohibit the probing of code before all the kernel pages are
accessible.

Pull MIPS fixes from James Hogan:
 "A miscellaneous pile of MIPS fixes for 4.16:

   - move put_compat_sigset() to evade hardened usercopy warnings (4.16)

   - select ARCH_HAVE_PC_{SERIO,PARPORT} for Loongson64 platforms (4.16)

   - fix kzalloc() failure handling in ath25 (3.19) and Octeon (4.0)

   - fix disabling of IPIs during BMIPS suspend (3.19)"

* tag 'mips_fixes_4.16_4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jhogan/mips:
  MIPS: BMIPS: Do not mask IPIs during suspend
  MIPS: Loongson64: Select ARCH_MIGHT_HAVE_PC_SERIO
  MIPS: Loongson64: Select ARCH_MIGHT_HAVE_PC_PARPORT
  signals: Move put_compat_sigset to compat.h to silence hardened usercopy
  MIPS: OCTEON: irq: Check for null return on kzalloc allocation
  MIPS: ath25: Check for kzalloc allocation failure

<title>x86/MCE: Serialize sysfs changes</title>

The check_interval file in

  /sys/devices/system/machinecheck/machinecheck&lt;cpu number&gt;

directory is a global timer value for MCE polling. If it is changed by one
CPU, mce_restart() broadcasts the event to other CPUs to delete and restart
the MCE polling timer and __mcheck_cpu_init_timer() reinitializes the
mce_timer variable.

If more than one CPU writes a specific value to the check_interval file
concurrently, mce_timer is not protected from such concurrent accesses and
all kinds of explosions happen. Since only root can write to those sysfs
variables, the issue is not a big deal security-wise.

However, concurrent writes to these configuration variables is void of
reason so the proper thing to do is to serialize the access with a mutex.

Boris:

 - Make store_int_with_restart() use device_store_ulong() to filter out
   negative intervals
 - Limit min interval to 1 second
 - Correct locking
 - Massage commit message
