There's no point in building init code with retpolines, since it runs before
any potentially hostile userspace does. And before the retpoline is actually
ALTERNATIVEd into place, for much of it.

'fd' is a user controlled value that is used as a data dependency to
read from the 'fdt-&gt;fd' array.  In order to avoid potential leaks of
kernel memory values, block speculative execution of the instruction
stream that could issue reads based on an invalid 'file *' returned from
__fcheck_files.

(cherry picked from commit f3804203306e098dae9ca51540fcd5eb700d7f40)

array_index_nospec() is proposed as a generic mechanism to mitigate
against Spectre-variant-1 attacks, i.e. an attack that bypasses boundary
checks via speculative execution. The array_index_nospec()
implementation is expected to be safe for current generation CPUs across
multiple architectures (ARM, x86).

Based on an original implementation by Linus Torvalds, tweaked to remove
speculative flows by Alexei Starovoitov, and tweaked again by Linus to
introduce an x86 assembly implementation for the mask generation.

<title>module/retpoline: Warn about missing retpoline in module</title>

(cherry picked from commit caf7501a1b4ec964190f31f9c3f163de252273b8)

There's a risk that a kernel which has full retpoline mitigations becomes
vulnerable when a module gets loaded that hasn't been compiled with the
right compiler or the right option.

To enable detection of that mismatch at module load time, add a module info
string "retpoline" at build time when the module was compiled with
retpoline support. This only covers compiled C source, but assembler source
or prebuilt object files are not checked.

If a retpoline enabled kernel detects a non retpoline protected module at
load time, print a warning and report it in the sysfs vulnerability file.

commit 2f44e29cef006a4b0a4ecf7d4c5aac7d0fbb505c upstream.

A bug fix to the MSIx handling in vfio added references to functions
that may not be defined if MSI is disabled in the kernel, resulting in
this link error:

drivers/built-in.o: In function `vfio_msi_set_vector_signal':
:(.text+0x450808): undefined reference to `get_cached_msi_msg'
:(.text+0x45080c): undefined reference to `write_msi_msg'

As suggested by Alex Williamson, add stub implementations for
get_cached_msi_msg() and pci_write_msi_msg().

In case this bugfix gets backported, please note that the #ifdef
has changed over time, originally both functions were implemented
in drivers/pci/msi.c and controlled by CONFIG_PCI_MSI, while nowadays
get_cached_msi_msg() is part of the generic MSI support and can be
used without PCI.

<title>mtd: sh_flctl: pass FIFO as physical address</title>

commit 1873315fb156cbc8e46f28e8b128f17ff6c31728 upstream.

By convention, the FIFO address we pass using dmaengine_slave_config
is a physical address in the form that is understood by the DMA
engine, as a dma_addr_t, phys_addr_t or resource_size_t.

The sh_flctl driver however passes a virtual __iomem address that
gets cast to dma_addr_t in the slave driver. This happens to work
on shmobile because that platform sets up an identity mapping for
its MMIO regions, but such code is not portable to other platforms,
and prevents us from ever changing the platform mapping or reusing
the driver on other architectures like ARM64 that might not have the
mapping.

We also get a warning about a type mismatch for the case that
dma_addr_t is wider than a pointer, i.e. when CONFIG_LPAE is set:

drivers/mtd/nand/sh_flctl.c: In function 'flctl_setup_dma':
drivers/mtd/nand/sh_flctl.c:163:17: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size [-Wpointer-to-int-cast]
  cfg.dst_addr = (dma_addr_t)FLDTFIFO(flctl);

This changes the driver to instead pass the physical address of
the FIFO that is extracted from the MMIO resource, making the
code more portable and avoiding the warning.

<title>driver-core: use 'dev' argument in dev_dbg_ratelimited stub</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 1f62ff34a90471d1b735bac2c79e894afc7c59bc upstream.

dev_dbg_ratelimited() is a macro that ignores its first argument when DEBUG is
not set, which can lead to unused variable warnings:

ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/pci.c: In function 'mlxsw_pci_cqe_sdq_handle':
ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/pci.c:646:18: warning: unused variable 'pdev' [-Wunused-variable]
ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/pci.c: In function 'mlxsw_pci_cqe_rdq_handle':
ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/pci.c:671:18: warning: unused variable 'pdev' [-Wunused-variable]

The macro already ensures that all its other arguments are silently
ignored by the compiler without triggering a warning, through the
use of the no_printk() macro, but the dev argument is not passed into
that.

This changes the definition to use the same trick as no_printk() with
an if(0) that leads the compiler to not evaluate the side-effects but
still see that 'dev' might not be unused.

commit 1f62ff34a90471d1b735bac2c79e894afc7c59bc upstream.

dev_dbg_ratelimited() is a macro that ignores its first argument when DEBUG is
not set, which can lead to unused variable warnings:

ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/pci.c: In function 'mlxsw_pci_cqe_sdq_handle':
ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/pci.c:646:18: warning: unused variable 'pdev' [-Wunused-variable]
ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/pci.c: In function 'mlxsw_pci_cqe_rdq_handle':
ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/pci.c:671:18: warning: unused variable 'pdev' [-Wunused-variable]

The macro already ensures that all its other arguments are silently
ignored by the compiler without triggering a warning, through the
use of the no_printk() macro, but the dev argument is not passed into
that.

This changes the definition to use the same trick as no_printk() with
an if(0) that leads the compiler to not evaluate the side-effects but
still see that 'dev' might not be unused.

commit f35157417215ec138c920320c746fdb3e04ef1d5 upstream.

Provide a function, kmemdup_nul(), that will create a NUL-terminated string
from an unterminated character array where the length is known in advance.

This is better than kstrndup() in situations where we already know the
string length as the strnlen() in kstrndup() is superfluous.

I ran into a 4.9 build warning in randconfig testing, starting with the
KAISER patches:

arch/x86/kernel/ldt.c: In function 'alloc_ldt_struct':
arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable_types.h:208:24: error: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type [-Werror=overflow]
 #define __PAGE_KERNEL  (__PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC | _PAGE_NX)
                        ^
arch/x86/kernel/ldt.c:81:6: note: in expansion of macro '__PAGE_KERNEL'
      __PAGE_KERNEL);
      ^~~~~~~~~~~~~

I originally ran into this last year when the patches were part of linux-next,
and tried to work around it by using the proper 'pteval_t' types consistently,
but that caused additional problems.

This takes a much simpler approach, and makes the argument type of the dummy
helper always 64-bit, which is wide enough for any page table layout and
won't hurt since this call is just an empty stub anyway.

<title>mtd: cfi: convert inline functions to macros</title>

commit 9e343e87d2c4c707ef8fae2844864d4dde3a2d13 upstream.

The map_word_() functions, dating back to linux-2.6.8, try to perform
bitwise operations on a 'map_word' structure. This may have worked
with compilers that were current then (gcc-3.4 or earlier), but end
up being rather inefficient on any version I could try now (gcc-4.4 or
higher). Specifically we hit a problem analyzed in gcc PR81715 where we
fail to reuse the stack space for local variables.

This can be seen immediately in the stack consumption for
cfi_staa_erase_varsize() and other functions that (with CONFIG_KASAN)
can be up to 2200 bytes. Changing the inline functions into macros brings
this down to 1280 bytes.  Without KASAN, the same problem exists, but
the stack consumption is lower to start with, my patch shrinks it from
920 to 496 bytes on with arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc-5.4, and saves around
1KB in .text size for cfi_cmdset_0020.c, as it avoids copying map_word
structures for each call to one of these helpers.

With the latest gcc-8 snapshot, the problem is fixed in upstream gcc,
but nobody uses that yet, so we should still work around it in mainline
kernels and probably backport the workaround to stable kernels as well.
We had a couple of other functions that suffered from the same gcc bug,
and all of those had a simpler workaround involving dummy variables
in the inline function. Unfortunately that did not work here, the
macro hack was the best I could come up with.

It would also be helpful to have someone to a little performance testing
on the patch, to see how much it helps in terms of CPU utilitzation.
