commit 6c356eda225e3ee134ed4176b9ae3a76f793f4dd upstream.

With the IRQ stack changes integrated, the XRX200 devices started
emitting a constant stream of kernel messages like this:

[  565.415310] Spurious IRQ: CAUSE=0x1100c300

This is caused by IP0 getting handled by plat_irq_dispatch() rather than
its vectored interrupt handler, which is fixed by commit de856416e714
("MIPS: IRQ Stack: Fix erroneous jal to plat_irq_dispatch").

Fix plat_irq_dispatch() to handle non-vectored IPI interrupts correctly
by setting up IP2-6 as proper chained IRQ handlers and calling do_IRQ
for all MIPS CPU interrupts.

commit 0c2bf9f95983fe30aa2f6463cb761cd42c2d521a upstream.

GIC_PPI flags were misconfigured for the timers, resulting in errors
like:
[    0.000000] GIC: PPI11 is secure or misconfigured

Changing them to being edge triggered corrects the issue

<title>ARM: BCM5301X: Add back handler ignoring external imprecise aborts</title>

commit 09f3510fb70a46c8921f2cf4a90dbcae460a6820 upstream.

Since early BCM5301X days we got abort handler that was removed by
commit 937b12306ea79 ("ARM: BCM5301X: remove workaround imprecise abort
fault handler"). It assumed we need to deal only with pending aborts
left by the bootloader. Unfortunately this isn't true for BCM5301X.

When probing PCI config space (device enumeration) it is expected to
have master aborts on the PCI bus. Most bridges don't forward (or they
allow disabling it) these errors onto the AXI/AMBA bus but not the
Northstar (BCM5301X) one.

iProc PCIe controller on Northstar seems to be some older one, without
a control register for errors forwarding. It means we need to workaround
this at platform level. All newer platforms are not affected by this
issue.

commit 26a37ab319a26d330bab298770d692bb9c852aff upstream.

Back in commit:

  92b0729c34cab ("x86/mm, x86/mce: Add memcpy_mcsafe()")

... I made a copy/paste error setting up the exception table entries
and ended up with two for label .L_cache_w3 and none for .L_cache_w2.

This means that if we take a machine check on:

  .L_cache_w2: movq 2*8(%rsi), %r10

then we don't have an exception table entry for this instruction
and we can't recover.

Fix: s/3/2/

<title>x86/mm/KASLR: Exclude EFI region from KASLR VA space randomization</title>

<content type='text'>
commit a46f60d76004965e5669dbf3fc21ef3bc3632eb4 upstream.

Currently KASLR is enabled on three regions: the direct mapping of physical
memory, vamlloc and vmemmap. However the EFI region is also mistakenly
included for VA space randomization because of misusing EFI_VA_START macro
and assuming EFI_VA_START &lt; EFI_VA_END.

(This breaks kexec and possibly other things that rely on stable addresses.)

The EFI region is reserved for EFI runtime services virtual mapping which
should not be included in KASLR ranges. In Documentation/x86/x86_64/mm.txt,
we can see:

  ffffffef00000000 - fffffffeffffffff (=64 GB) EFI region mapping space

EFI uses the space from -4G to -64G thus EFI_VA_START &gt; EFI_VA_END,
Here EFI_VA_START = -4G, and EFI_VA_END = -64G.

Changing EFI_VA_START to EFI_VA_END in mm/kaslr.c fixes this problem.

commit 554bfeceb8a22d448cd986fc9efce25e833278a1 upstream.

pa_memcpy() is the major memcpy implementation in the parisc kernel which is
used to do any kind of userspace/kernel memory copies.

Al Viro noticed various bugs in the implementation of pa_mempcy(), most notably
that in case of faults it may report back to have copied more bytes than it
actually did.

Fixing those bugs is quite hard in the C-implementation, because the compiler
is messing around with the registers and we are not guaranteed that specific
variables are always in the same processor registers. This makes proper fault
handling complicated.

This patch implements pa_memcpy() in assembler. That way we have correct fault
handling and adding a 64-bit copy routine was quite easy.

Runtime tested with 32- and 64bit kernels.

Commit 73580dac7618 ("parisc: Fix system shutdown halt") introduced an endless
loop for systems which don't provide a software power off function.  But the
soft lockup detector will detect this and report stalled CPUs after some time.
Avoid those unwanted warnings by disabling the soft lockup detector.

commit d19f5e41b344a057bb2450024a807476f30978d2 upstream.

Al Viro noticed that userspace accesses via get_user()/put_user() can be
simplified a lot with regard to usage of the exception handling.

This patch implements a fixup routine for get_user() and put_user() in such
that the exception handler will automatically load -EFAULT into the register
%r8 (the error value) in case on a fault on userspace.  Additionally the fixup
routine will zero the target register on fault in case of a get_user() call.
The target register is extracted out of the faulting assembly instruction.

This patch brings a few benefits over the old implementation:
1. Exception handling gets much cleaner, easier and smaller in size.
2. Helper functions like fixup_get_user_skip_1 (all of fixup.S) can be dropped.
3. No need to hardcode %r9 as target register for get_user() any longer. This
   helps the compiler register allocator and thus creates less assembler
   statements.
4. No dependency on the exception_data contents any longer.
5. Nested faults will be handled cleanly.

<title>xen/setup: Don't relocate p2m over existing one</title>

commit 7ecec8503af37de6be4f96b53828d640a968705f upstream.

When relocating the p2m, take special care not to relocate it so
that is overlaps with the current location of the p2m/initrd. This is
needed since the full extent of the current location is not marked as a
reserved region in the e820.

This was seen to happen to a dom0 with a large initial p2m and a small
reserved region in the middle of the initial p2m.

<title>metag/ptrace: Reject partial NT_METAG_RPIPE writes</title>

commit 7195ee3120d878259e8d94a5d9f808116f34d5ea upstream.

It's not clear what behaviour is sensible when doing partial write of
NT_METAG_RPIPE, so just don't bother.

This patch assumes that userspace will never rely on a partial SETREGSET
in this case, since it's not clear what should happen anyway.
