Geminilake requires the 3D driver to select whether barriers are
intended for compute shaders, or tessellation control shaders, by
whacking a "Barrier Mode" bit in SLICE_COMMON_ECO_CHICKEN1 when
switching pipelines. Failure to do this properly can result in GPU
hangs.
Unfortunately, this means it needs to switch mid-batch, so only
userspace can properly set it. To facilitate this, the kernel needs
to whitelist the register.
The workarounds page currently tags this as applying to Broxton only,
but that doesn't make sense. The documentation for the register it
references says the bit userspace is supposed to toggle only exists on
Geminilake. Empirically, the Mesa patch to toggle this bit appears to
fix intermittent GPU hangs in tessellation control shader barrier tests
on Geminilake; we haven't seen those hangs on Broxton.
v2: Mention WA #0862 in the comment (it doesn't have a name).

Got broken by "make sock_alloc_file() do sock_release() on failures" -
cleanup after sock_map_fd() failure got pulled all the way into
sock_alloc_file(), but it used to serve the case when sock_map_fd()
failed *before* getting to sock_alloc_file() as well, and that got
lost. Trivial to fix, fortunately.

Function ipv6_push_rthdr4 allows to add an IPv6 Segment Routing Header
to a socket through setsockopt, but the current implementation doesn't
copy possible TLVs at the end of the SRH received from userspace.
Therefore, the execution of the following branch if (sr_has_hmac(sr_phdr))
{ ... } will never complete since the len and type fields of a possible
HMAC TLV are not copied, hence seg6_get_tlv_hmac will return an error,
and the HMAC will not be computed.
This commit adds a memcpy in case TLVs have been appended to the SRH.

The link state and exception interrupts may be masked when we probe.
The firmware should in theory prevent sending (and automasking) those
interrupts if the device is disabled, but if my reading of the FW code
is correct there are firmwares out there with race conditions in this
area. The interrupt may also be masked if previous driver which used
the device was malfunctioning and we didn't load the FW (there is no
other good way to comprehensively reset the PF).
Note that FW unmasks the data interrupts by itself when vNIC is
enabled, such helpful operation is not performed for LSC/EXN interrupts.
Always unmask the auxiliary interrupts after request_irq(). On the
remove path add missing PCI write flush before free_irq().

Hangbin Liu reported that some sockopt calls could cause the kernel to log
a warning on memory allocation failure if the user supplied a large optlen
value. That is because some of them called memdup_user() without a ceiling
on optlen, allowing it to try to allocate really large buffers.
This patch adds a ceiling by limiting optlen to the maximum allowed that
would still make sense for these sockopt.

The vmw_view_cmd_to_type() function returns vmw_view_max (3) on error.
It's one element beyond the end of the vmw_view_cotables[] table.
My read on this is that it's possible to hit this failure. header->id
comes from vmw_cmd_check() and it's a user controlled number between
1040 and 1225 so we can hit that error. But I don't have the hardware

The SOR0 found on Tegra124 and Tegra210 only supports eDP and LVDS and
therefore has a slightly different clock tree than the SOR1 which does
not support eDP, but HDMI and DP instead.
Commit e1335e2f0cfc ("drm/tegra: sor: Reimplement pad clock") breaks
setups with eDP because the sor->clk_out clock is uninitialized and
therefore setting the parent clock (either the safe clock or either of
the display PLLs) fails, which can cause hangs later on since there is
no clock driving the module.
Fix this by falling back to the module clock for sor->clk_out on those
setups. This guarantees that the module will always be clocked by an
enabled clock and hence prevents those hangs.

Because there may be some performance overhead of the RFI flush, add
kernel command line options to disable it.
We add a sensibly named 'no_rfi_flush' option, but we also hijack the
x86 option 'nopti'. The RFI flush is not the same as KPTI, but if we
see 'nopti' we can guess that the user is trying to avoid any overhead
of Meltdown mitigations, and it means we don't have to educate every
one about a different command line option.
Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <[email protected]>

On some CPUs we can prevent the Meltdown vulnerability by flushing the
L1-D cache on exit from kernel to user mode, and from hypervisor to
guest.
This is known to be the case on at least Power7, Power8 and Power9. At
this time we do not know the status of the vulnerability on other CPUs
such as the 970 (Apple G5), pasemi CPUs (AmigaOne X1000) or Freescale
CPUs. As more information comes to light we can enable this, or other
mechanisms on those CPUs.
The vulnerability occurs when the load of an architecturally
inaccessible memory region (eg. userspace load of kernel memory) is
speculatively executed to the point where its result can influence the
address of a subsequent speculatively executed load.
In order for that to happen, the first load must hit in the L1,
because before the load is sent to the L2 the permission check is
performed. Therefore if no kernel addresses hit in the L1 the
vulnerability can not occur. We can ensure that is the case by
flushing the L1 whenever we return to userspace. Similarly for
hypervisor vs guest.
In order to flush the L1-D cache on exit, we add a section of nops at
each (h)rfi location that returns to a lower privileged context, and
patch that with some sequence. Newer firmwares are able to advertise
to us that there is a special nop instruction that flushes the L1-D.
If we do not see that advertised, we fall back to doing a displacement
flush in software.
For guest kernels we support migration between some CPU versions, and
different CPUs may use different flush instructions. So that we are
prepared to migrate to a machine with a different flush instruction
activated, we may have to patch more than one flush instruction at
boot if the hypervisor tells us to.
In the end this patch is mostly the work of Nicholas Piggin and
Michael Ellerman. However a cast of thousands contributed to analysis
of the issue, earlier versions of the patch, back ports testing etc.
Many thanks to all of them.
