commit c4cbba9fa078f55d9f6d081dbb4aec7cf969e7c7 upstream.

When running a guest with the architected timer disabled (with QEMU and
the kernel_irqchip=off option, for example), it is important to make
sure the timer gets turned off. Otherwise, the guest may try to
enable it anyway, leading to a screaming HW interrupt.

The fix is to unconditionally turn off the virtual timer on guest
exit.

<id>urn:sha1:fa7b265dfa3fc2c5de110ece8f59cfc5943b9622</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 43297dda0a51e4ffed0888ce727c218cfb7474b6 upstream.

When restoring the system register state for an AArch32 guest at EL2,
writes to DACR32_EL2 may not be correctly synchronised by Cortex-A57,
which can lead to the guest effectively running with junk in the DACR
and running into unexpected domain faults.

This patch works around the issue by re-ordering our restoration of the
AArch32 register aliases so that they happen before the AArch64 system
registers. Ensuring that the registers are restored in this order
guarantees that they will be correctly synchronised by the core.

<title>arm64: KVM: Fix host crash when injecting a fault into a 32bit guest</title>

<content type='text'>
When injecting a fault into a misbehaving 32bit guest, it seems
rather idiotic to also inject a 64bit fault that is only going
to corrupt the guest state. This leads to a situation where we
perform an illegal exception return at EL2 causing the host
to crash instead of killing the guest.

Just fix the stupid bug that has been there from day 1.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "Mostly refactoring/clean-up:

   - CPU ops and PSCI (Power State Coordination Interface) refactoring
     following the merging of the arm64 ACPI support, together with
     handling of Trusted (secure) OS instances

   - Using fixmap for permanent FDT mapping, removing the initial dtb
     placement requirements (within 512MB from the start of the kernel
     image).  This required moving the FDT self reservation out of the
     memreserve processing

   - Idmap (1:1 mapping used for MMU on/off) handling clean-up

   - Removing flush_cache_all() - not safe on ARM unless the MMU is off.
     Last stages of CPU power down/up are handled by firmware already

   - "Alternatives" (run-time code patching) refactoring and support for
     immediate branch patching, GICv3 CPU interface access

   - User faults handling clean-up

  And some fixes:

   - Fix for VDSO building with broken ELF toolchains

   - Fix another case of init_mm.pgd usage for user mappings (during
     ASID roll-over broadcasting)

   - Fix for FPSIMD reloading after CPU hotplug

   - Fix for missing syscall trace exit

   - Workaround for .inst asm bug

   - Compat fix for switching the user tls tpidr_el0 register"

The GIC Hypervisor Configuration Register is used to enable
the delivery of virtual interupts to a guest, as well as to
define in which conditions maintenance interrupts are delivered
to the host.

This register doesn't contain any information that we need to
read back (the EOIcount is utterly useless for us).

So let's save ourselves some cycles, and not save it before
writing zero to it.

The elr_el2 and spsr_el2 registers in fact contain the processor state
before entry into EL2. In the case of guest state it could be in either
el0 or el1.

<content type='text'>
So far, we configured the world-switch by having a small array
of pointers to the save and restore functions, depending on the
GIC used on the platform.

Loading these values each time is a bit silly (they never change),
and it makes sense to rely on the instruction patching instead.

This leads to a nice cleanup of the code.

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
 "Here are the core arm64 updates for 4.1.

  Highlights include a significant rework to head.S (allowing us to boot
  on machines with physical memory at a really high address), an AES
  performance boost on Cortex-A57 and the ability to run a 32-bit
  userspace with 64k pages (although this requires said userspace to be
  built with a recent binutils).

  The head.S rework spilt over into KVM, so there are some changes under
  arch/arm/ which have been acked by Marc Zyngier (KVM co-maintainer).
  In particular, the linker script changes caused us some issues in
  -next, so there are a few merge commits where we had to apply fixes on
  top of a stable branch.

  Other changes include:

   - AES performance boost for Cortex-A57
   - AArch32 (compat) userspace with 64k pages
   - Cortex-A53 erratum workaround for #845719
   - defconfig updates (new platforms, PCI, ...)"

virt/kvm was never really a good include directory for anything else
than locally included headers.
With the move of iodev.h there is no need anymore to add this
directory the compiler's include path, so remove it from the arm and
arm64 kvm Makefile.
