<content type='text'>
commit b5b1404d0815894de0690de8a1ab58269e56eae6 upstream.

This is purely a preparatory patch for upcoming changes during the 4.19
merge window.

We have a function called "boot_cpu_state_init()" that isn't really
about the bootup cpu state: that is done much earlier by the similarly
named "boot_cpu_init()" (note lack of "state" in name).

This function initializes some hotplug CPU state, and needs to run after
the percpu data has been properly initialized.  It even has a comment to
that effect.

Except it _doesn't_ actually run after the percpu data has been properly
initialized.  On x86 it happens to do that, but on at least arm and
arm64, the percpu base pointers are initialized by the arch-specific
'smp_prepare_boot_cpu()' hook, which ran _after_ boot_cpu_state_init().

This had some unexpected results, and in particular we have a patch
pending for the merge window that did the obvious cleanup of using
'this_cpu_write()' in the cpu hotplug init code:

  -       per_cpu_ptr(&amp;cpuhp_state, smp_processor_id())-&gt;state = CPUHP_ONLINE;
  +       this_cpu_write(cpuhp_state.state, CPUHP_ONLINE);

which is obviously the right thing to do.  Except because of the
ordering issue, it actually failed miserably and unexpectedly on arm64.

So this just fixes the ordering, and changes the name of the function to
be 'boot_cpu_hotplug_init()' to make it obvious that it's about cpu
hotplug state, because the core CPU state was supposed to have already
been done earlier.

Marked for stable, since the (not yet merged) patch that will show this
problem is marked for stable.

In commit c7753208a94c ("x86, swiotlb: Add memory encryption support") a
call to function `mem_encrypt_init' was added.  Include prototype
defined in header &lt;linux/mem_encrypt.h&gt; to prevent a warning reported
during compilation with W=1:

  init/main.c:494:20: warning: no previous prototype for `mem_encrypt_init' [-Wmissing-prototypes]

<title>init: fix false positives in W+X checking</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ae646f0b9ca135b87bc73ff606ef996c3029780a</id>
<content type='text'>
load_module() creates W+X mappings via __vmalloc_node_range() (from
layout_and_allocate()-&gt;move_module()-&gt;module_alloc()) by using
PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC.  These mappings are later cleaned up via
"call_rcu_sched(&amp;freeinit-&gt;rcu, do_free_init)" from do_init_module().

This is a problem because call_rcu_sched() queues work, which can be run
after debug_checkwx() is run, resulting in a race condition.  If hit,
the race results in a nasty splat about insecure W+X mappings, which
results in a poor user experience as these are not the mappings that
debug_checkwx() is intended to catch.

This issue is observed on multiple arm64 platforms, and has been
artificially triggered on an x86 platform.

Address the race by flushing the queued work before running the
arch-defined mark_rodata_ro() which then calls debug_checkwx().

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A set of fixes and updates for x86:

   - Address a swiotlb regression which was caused by the recent DMA
     rework and made driver fail because dma_direct_supported() returned
     false

   - Fix a signedness bug in the APIC ID validation which caused invalid
     APIC IDs to be detected as valid thereby bloating the CPU possible
     space.

   - Fix inconsisten config dependcy/select magic for the MFD_CS5535
     driver.

   - Fix a corruption of the physical address space bits when encryption
     has reduced the address space and late cpuinfo updates overwrite
     the reduced bit information with the original value.

   - Dominiks syscall rework which consolidates the architecture
     specific syscall functions so all syscalls can be wrapped with the
     same macros. This allows to switch x86/64 to struct pt_regs based
     syscalls. Extend the clearing of user space controlled registers in
     the entry patch to the lower registers"

I'd prefer shorter name "utsns" but there is "user_namespace" already.
