commit 17dbca119312b4e8173d4e25ff64262119fcef38 upstream.

L1TF core kernel workarounds are cheap and normally always enabled, However
they still should be reported in sysfs if the system is vulnerable or
mitigated. Add the necessary CPU feature/bug bits.

- Extend the existing checks for Meltdowns to determine if the system is
  vulnerable. All CPUs which are not vulnerable to Meltdown are also not
  vulnerable to L1TF

- Check for 32bit non PAE and emit a warning as there is no practical way
  for mitigation due to the limited physical address bits

- If the system has more than MAX_PA/2 physical memory the invert page
  workarounds don't protect the system against the L1TF attack anymore,
  because an inverted physical address will also point to valid
  memory. Print a warning in this case and report that the system is
  vulnerable.

Add a function which returns the PFN limit for the L1TF mitigation, which
will be used in follow up patches for sanity and range checks.

[ tglx: Renamed the CPU feature bit to L1TF_PTEINV ]

Add the sysfs file for the new vulerability. It does not do much except
show the words 'Vulnerable' for recent x86 cores.

Intel cores prior to family 6 are known not to be vulnerable, and so are
some Atoms and some Xeon Phi.

It assumes that older Cyrix, Centaur, etc. cores are immune.

Pull x86 pti updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This contains:

   - a PTI bugfix to avoid setting reserved CR3 bits when PCID is
     disabled. This seems to cause issues on a virtual machine at least
     and is incorrect according to the AMD manual.

   - a PTI bugfix which disables the perf BTS facility if PTI is
     enabled. The BTS AUX buffer is not globally visible and causes the
     CPU to fault when the mapping disappears on switching CR3 to user
     space. A full fix which restores BTS on PTI is non trivial and will
     be worked on.

   - PTI bugfixes for EFI and trusted boot which make sure that the user
     space visible page table entries have the NX bit cleared

   - removal of dead code in the PTI pagetable setup functions

   - add PTI documentation

   - add a selftest for vsyscall to verify that the kernel actually
     implements what it advertises.

   - a sysfs interface to expose vulnerability and mitigation
     information so there is a coherent way for users to retrieve the
     status.

   - the initial spectre_v2 mitigations, aka retpoline:

      + The necessary ASM thunk and compiler support

      + The ASM variants of retpoline and the conversion of affected ASM
        code

      + Make LFENCE serializing on AMD so it can be used as speculation
        trap

      + The RSB fill after vmexit

   - initial objtool support for retpoline

  As I said in the status mail this is the most of the set of patches
  which should go into 4.15 except two straight forward patches still on
  hold:

   - the retpoline add on of LFENCE which waits for ACKs

   - the RSB fill after context switch

  Both should be ready to go early next week and with that we'll have
  covered the major holes of spectre_v2 and go back to normality"

As the meltdown/spectre problem affects several CPU architectures, it makes
sense to have common way to express whether a system is affected by a
particular vulnerability or not. If affected the way to express the
mitigation should be common as well.

Create /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities folder and files for
meltdown, spectre_v1 and spectre_v2.

Allow architectures to override the show function.

<title>driver core: add SPDX identifiers to all driver core files</title>

It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to
audit the kernel tree for correct licenses.

Update the driver core files files with the correct SPDX license
identifier based on the license text in the file itself.  The SPDX
identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of
the full boiler plate text.

This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe
Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "There are no real big ticket items here this time.

  The most noticeable change is probably the relocation of the OPP
  (Operating Performance Points) framework to its own directory under
  drivers/ as it has grown big enough for that. Also Viresh is now going
  to maintain it and send pull requests for it to me, so you will see
  this change in the git history going forward (but still not right
  now).

  Another noticeable set of changes is the modifications of the PM core,
  the PCI subsystem and the ACPI PM domain to allow of more integration
  between system-wide suspend/resume and runtime PM. For now it's just a
  way to avoid resuming devices from runtime suspend unnecessarily
  during system suspend (if the driver sets a flag to indicate its
  readiness for that) and in the works is an analogous mechanism to
  allow devices to stay suspended after system resume.

  In addition to that, we have some changes related to supporting
  frequency-invariant CPU utilization metrics in the scheduler and in
  the schedutil cpufreq governor on ARM and changes to add support for
  device performance states to the generic power domains (genpd)
  framework.

  The rest is mostly fixes and cleanups of various sorts.

  Specifics:

   - Relocate the OPP (Operating Performance Points) framework to its
     own directory under drivers/ and add support for power domain
     performance states to it (Viresh Kumar).

   - Modify the PM core, the PCI bus type and the ACPI PM domain to
     support power management driver flags allowing device drivers to
     specify their capabilities and preferences regarding the handling
     of devices with enabled runtime PM during system suspend/resume and
     clean up that code somewhat (Rafael Wysocki, Ulf Hansson).

   - Add frequency-invariant accounting support to the task scheduler on
     ARM and ARM64 (Dietmar Eggemann).

   - Fix PM QoS device resume latency framework to prevent "no
     restriction" requests from overriding requests with specific
     requirements and drop the confusing PM_QOS_FLAG_REMOTE_WAKEUP
     device PM QoS flag (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Drop legacy class suspend/resume operations from the PM core and
     drop legacy bus type suspend and resume callbacks from ARM/locomo
     (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Add min/max frequency support to devfreq and clean it up somewhat
     (Chanwoo Choi).

   - Rework wakeup support in the generic power domains (genpd)
     framework and update some of its users accordingly (Geert
     Uytterhoeven).

   - Convert timers in the PM core to use timer_setup() (Kees Cook).

   - Add support for exposing the SLP_S0 (Low Power S0 Idle) residency
     counter based on the LPIT ACPI table on Intel platforms (Srinivas
     Pandruvada).

   - Add per-CPU PM QoS resume latency support to the ladder cpuidle
     governor (Ramesh Thomas).

   - Fix a deadlock between the wakeup notify handler and the notifier
     removal in the ACPI core (Ville Syrjälä).

   - Fix a cpufreq schedutil governor issue causing it to use stale
     cached frequency values sometimes (Viresh Kumar).

   - Fix an issue in the system suspend core support code causing wakeup
     events detection to fail in some cases (Rajat Jain).

   - Fix the generic power domains (genpd) framework to prevent the PM
     core from using the direct-complete optimization with it as that is
     guaranteed to fail (Ulf Hansson).

   - Fix a minor issue in the cpuidle core and clean it up a bit (Gaurav
     Jindal, Nicholas Piggin).

   - Fix and clean up the intel_idle and ARM cpuidle drivers (Jason
     Baron, Len Brown, Leo Yan).

   - Fix a couple of minor issues in the OPP framework and clean it up
     (Arvind Yadav, Fabio Estevam, Sudeep Holla, Tobias Jordan).

   - Fix and clean up some cpufreq drivers and fix a minor issue in the
     cpufreq statistics code (Arvind Yadav, Bhumika Goyal, Fabio
     Estevam, Gautham Shenoy, Gustavo Silva, Marek Szyprowski, Masahiro
     Yamada, Robert Jarzmik, Zumeng Chen).

   - Fix minor issues in the system suspend and hibernation core, in
     power management documentation and in the AVS (Adaptive Voltage
     Scaling) framework (Helge Deller, Himanshu Jha, Joe Perches, Rafael
     Wysocki).

   - Fix some issues in the cpupower utility and document that Shuah
     Khan is going to maintain it going forward (Prarit Bhargava, Shuah
     Khan)"

<content type='text'>
The special value of 0 for device resume latency PM QoS means
"no restriction", but there are two problems with that.

First, device resume latency PM QoS requests with 0 as the
value are always put in front of requests with positive
values in the priority lists used internally by the PM QoS
framework, causing 0 to be chosen as an effective constraint
value.  However, that 0 is then interpreted as "no restriction"
effectively overriding the other requests with specific
restrictions which is incorrect.

Second, the users of device resume latency PM QoS have no
way to specify that *any* resume latency at all should be
avoided, which is an artificial limitation in general.

To address these issues, modify device resume latency PM QoS to
use S32_MAX as the "no constraint" value and 0 as the "no
latency at all" one and rework its users (the cpuidle menu
governor, the genpd QoS governor and the runtime PM framework)
to follow these changes.

Also add a special "n/a" value to the corresponding user space I/F
to allow user space to indicate that it cannot accept any resume
latencies at all for the given device.

This reverts commit 0cc2b4e5a020 (PM / QoS: Fix device resume latency PM
QoS) as it introduced regressions on multiple systems and the fix-up
in commit 2a9a86d5c813 (PM / QoS: Fix default runtime_pm device resume

The original problem that commit 0cc2b4e5a020 was attempting to fix
will be addressed later.
