Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the "big" set of driver core patches for 5.5-rc1
There's a few minor cleanups and fixes in here, but the majority of
the patches in here fall into two buckets:
- debugfs api cleanups and fixes
- driver core device link support for boot dependancy issues
The debugfs api cleanups are working to slowly refactor the debugfs
apis so that it is even harder to use incorrectly. That work has been
happening for the past few kernel releases and will continue over
time, it's a long-term project/goal
The driver core device link support missed 5.4 by just a bit, so it's
been sitting and baking for many months now. It's from Saravana Kannan
to help resolve the problems that DT-based systems have at boot time
with dependancy graphs and kernel modules. Turns out that no one has
actually tried to build a generic arm64 kernel with loads of modules
and have it "just work" for a variety of platforms (like a distro
kernel). The big problem turned out to be a lack of dependency
information between different areas of DT entries, and the work here
resolves that problem and now allows devices to boot properly, and
quicker than a monolith kernel.
All of these patches have been in linux-next for a long time with no
reported issues"

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
"Apart from the arm64-specific bits (core arch and perf, new arm64
selftests), it touches the generic cow_user_page() (reviewed by
Kirill) together with a macro for x86 to preserve the existing
behaviour on this architecture.
Summary:
- On ARMv8 CPUs without hardware updates of the access flag, avoid
failing cow_user_page() on PFN mappings if the pte is old. The
patches introduce an arch_faults_on_old_pte() macro, defined as
false on x86. When true, cow_user_page() makes the pte young before
attempting __copy_from_user_inatomic().
- Covert the synchronous exception handling paths in
arch/arm64/kernel/entry.S to C.
- FTRACE_WITH_REGS support for arm64.
- ZONE_DMA re-introduced on arm64 to support Raspberry Pi 4
- Several kselftest cases specific to arm64, together with a
MAINTAINERS update for these files (moved to the ARM64 PORT entry).
- Workaround for a Neoverse-N1 erratum where the CPU may fetch stale
instructions under certain conditions.
- Workaround for Cortex-A57 and A72 errata where the CPU may
speculatively execute an AT instruction and associate a VMID with
the wrong guest page tables (corrupting the TLB).
- Perf updates for arm64: additional PMU topologies on HiSilicon
platforms, support for CCN-512 interconnect, AXI ID filtering in
the IMX8 DDR PMU, support for the CCPI2 uncore PMU in ThunderX2.

Requests that triggers flushing volatile writeback cache to disk (barriers)
have significant effect to overall performance.
Block layer has sophisticated engine for combining several flush requests
into one. But there is no statistics for actual flushes executed by disk.
Requests which trigger flushes usually are barriers - zero-size writes.
This patch adds two iostat counters into /sys/class/block/$dev/stat and
/proc/diskstats - count of completed flush requests and their total time.

The commit 0f27cff859 ("ACPI: sysfs: Make ACPI GPE mask kernel
parameter cover all GPEs") says:
"Use a bitmap of size 0xFF instead of a u64 for the GPE mask so 256
GPEs can be masked"
But the masking of GPE 0xFF it not supported and the check condition
"gpe > ACPI_MASKABLE_GPE_MAX" is not valid because the type of gpe is
u8.
So modify the macro ACPI_MASKABLE_GPE_MAX to 0x100, and drop the "gpe >
ACPI_MASKABLE_GPE_MAX" check. In addition, update the docs "Format" for
acpi_mask_gpe parameter.

For MDS vulnerable processors with TSX support, enabling either MDS or
TAA mitigations will enable the use of VERW to flush internal processor
buffers at the right code path. IOW, they are either both mitigated
or both not. However, if the command line options are inconsistent,
the vulnerabilites sysfs files may not report the mitigation status
correctly.
For example, with only the "mds=off" option:
vulnerabilities/mds:Vulnerable; SMT vulnerable
vulnerabilities/tsx_async_abort:Mitigation: Clear CPU buffers; SMT vulnerable
The mds vulnerabilities file has wrong status in this case. Similarly,
the taa vulnerability file will be wrong with mds mitigation on, but
taa off.
Change taa_select_mitigation() to sync up the two mitigation status
and have them turned off if both "mds=off" and "tsx_async_abort=off"
are present.
Update documentation to emphasize the fact that both "mds=off" and
"tsx_async_abort=off" have to be specified together for processors that
are affected by both TAA and MDS to be effective.

Metadata runs are supposed to be aligned on 4k boundary (so that they work
efficiently with disks with 4k sectors). However, there was a programming
bug that makes them aligned on 128k boundary instead. The unused space is
wasted.
Fix this bug by providing a proper 4k alignment. In order to keep
existing volumes working, we introduce a new flag SB_FLAG_FIXED_PADDING
- when the flag is clear, we calculate the padding the old way. In order
to make sure that the old version cannot mount the volume created by the
new version, we increase superblock version to 4.
Also in order to not break with old integritysetup, we fix alignment
only if the parameter "fix_padding" is present when formatting the
device.

Given that EFI_MEMORY_SP is platform BIOS policy decision for marking
memory ranges as "reserved for a specific purpose" there will inevitably
be scenarios where the BIOS omits the attribute in situations where it
is desired. Unlike other attributes if the OS wants to reserve this
memory from the kernel the reservation needs to happen early in init. So
early, in fact, that it needs to happen before e820__memblock_setup()
which is a pre-requisite for efi_fake_memmap() that wants to allocate
memory for the updated table.
Introduce an x86 specific efi_fake_memmap_early() that can search for
attempts to set EFI_MEMORY_SP via efi_fake_mem and update the e820 table
accordingly.
The KASLR code that scans the command line looking for user-directed
memory reservations also needs to be updated to consider
"efi_fake_mem=nn@ss:0x40000" requests.

UEFI 2.8 defines an EFI_MEMORY_SP attribute bit to augment the
interpretation of the EFI Memory Types as "reserved for a specific
purpose".
The proposed Linux behavior for specific purpose memory is that it is
reserved for direct-access (device-dax) by default and not available for
any kernel usage, not even as an OOM fallback. Later, through udev
scripts or another init mechanism, these device-dax claimed ranges can
be reconfigured and hot-added to the available System-RAM with a unique
node identifier. This device-dax management scheme implements "soft" in
the "soft reserved" designation by allowing some or all of the
reservation to be recovered as typical memory. This policy can be
disabled at compile-time with CONFIG_EFI_SOFT_RESERVE=n, or runtime with
efi=nosoftreserve.
As for this patch, define the common helpers to determine if the
EFI_MEMORY_SP attribute should be honored. The determination needs to be
made early to prevent the kernel from being loaded into soft-reserved
memory, or otherwise allowing early allocations to land there. Follow-on
changes are needed per architecture to leverage these helpers in their
respective mem-init paths.

The page table pages corresponding to broken down large pages are zapped in
FIFO order, so that the large page can potentially be recovered, if it is
not longer being used for execution. This removes the performance penalty
for walking deeper EPT page tables.
By default, one large page will last about one hour once the guest
reaches a steady state.

With some Intel processors, putting the same virtual address in the TLB
as both a 4 KiB and 2 MiB page can confuse the instruction fetch unit
and cause the processor to issue a machine check resulting in a CPU lockup.
Unfortunately when EPT page tables use huge pages, it is possible for a
malicious guest to cause this situation.
Add a knob to mark huge pages as non-executable. When the nx_huge_pages
parameter is enabled (and we are using EPT), all huge pages are marked as
NX. If the guest attempts to execute in one of those pages, the page is
broken down into 4K pages, which are then marked executable.
This is not an issue for shadow paging (except nested EPT), because then
the host is in control of TLB flushes and the problematic situation cannot
happen. With nested EPT, again the nested guest can cause problems shadow
and direct EPT is treated in the same way.

I need to pick up the independent changes made to
Documentation/core-api/memory-allocation.rst to be able to merge further
work without creating a total mess.
Add a kernel cmdline parameter "tsx" to control the Transactional
Synchronization Extensions (TSX) feature. On CPUs that support TSX
control, use "tsx=on|off" to enable or disable TSX. Not specifying this
option is equivalent to "tsx=off". This is because on certain processors
TSX may be used as a part of a speculative side channel attack.
Carve out the TSX controlling functionality into a separate compilation
unit because TSX is a CPU feature while the TSX async abort control
machinery will go to cpu/bugs.c.

Prior to eed85ff4c0 ("PCI/DPC: Enable DPC only if AER is available"),
Linux handled DPC events regardless of whether firmware had granted it
ownership of AER or DPC, e.g., via _OSC.
PCIe r5.0, sec 6.2.10, recommends that the OS link control of DPC to
control of AER, so after eed85ff4c0, Linux handles DPC events only if it
has control of AER.
On platforms that do not grant OS control of AER via _OSC, Linux DPC
handling worked before eed85ff4c0 but not after.
To make Linux DPC handling work on those platforms the same way they did
before, add a "pcie_ports=dpc-native" kernel parameter that makes Linux
handle DPC events regardless of whether it has control of AER.

Enable paravirtualization features when running under a hypervisor
supporting the PV_TIME_ST hypercall.
For each (v)CPU, we ask the hypervisor for the location of a shared
page which the hypervisor will use to report stolen time to us. We set
pv_time_ops to the stolen time function which simply reads the stolen
value from the shared page for a VCPU. We guarantee single-copy
atomicity using READ_ONCE which means we can also read the stolen
time for another VCPU than the currently running one while it is
potentially being updated by the hypervisor.
