commit f43b9876e857c739d407bc56df288b0ebe1a9164 upstream.

Do fine-grained Kconfig for all the various retbleed parts.

NOTE: if your compiler doesn't support return thunks this will
silently 'upgrade' your mitigation to IBPB, you might not like this.

<content type='text'>
commit a149180fbcf336e97ce4eb2cdc13672727feb94d upstream.

Note: needs to be in a section distinct from Retpolines such that the
Retpoline RET substitution cannot possibly use immediate jumps.

ORC unwinding for zen_untrain_ret() and __x86_return_thunk() is a
little tricky but works due to the fact that zen_untrain_ret() doesn't
have any stack ops and as such will emit a single ORC entry at the
start (+0x3f).

Meanwhile, unwinding an IP, including the __x86_return_thunk() one
(+0x40) will search for the largest ORC entry smaller or equal to the
IP, these will find the one ORC entry (+0x3f) and all works.

<content type='text'>
commit aa3d480315ba6c3025a60958e1981072ea37c3df upstream.

Use the return thunk in asm code. If the thunk isn't needed, it will
get patched into a RET instruction during boot by apply_returns().

Since alternatives can't handle relocations outside of the first
instruction, putting a 'jmp __x86_return_thunk' in one is not valid,
therefore carve out the memmove ERMS path into a separate label and jump
to it.

<content type='text'>
commit 0b53c374b9eff2255a386f1f1cfb9a928e52a5ae upstream.

Utilize -mfunction-return=thunk-extern when available to have the
compiler replace RET instructions with direct JMPs to the symbol
__x86_return_thunk. This does not affect assembler (.S) sources, only C
sources.

-mfunction-return=thunk-extern has been available since gcc 7.3 and
clang 15.

<content type='text'>
commit 00e1533325fd1fb5459229fe37f235462649f668 upstream.

Put the actual retpoline thunk as the original code so that it can
become more complicated. Specifically, it allows RET to be a JMP,
which can't be .altinstr_replacement since that doesn't do relocations
(except for the very first instruction).

<title>x86/delay: Fix the wrong asm constraint in delay_loop()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:137ec9097423a014eb2c11cb7f28e7d80fb16607</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit b86eb74098a92afd789da02699b4b0dd3f73b889 ]

The asm constraint does not reflect the fact that the asm statement can
modify the value of the local variable loops. Which it does.

Specifying the wrong constraint may lead to undefined behavior, it may
clobber random stuff (e.g. local variable, important temporary value in
regs, etc.). This is especially dangerous when the compiler decides to
inline the function and since it doesn't know that the value gets
modified, it might decide to use it from a register directly without
reloading it.

Change the constraint to "+a" to denote that the first argument is an
input and an output argument.

Pull x86 fixes from Borislav Petkov:

 - A fix to disable PCI/MSI[-X] masking for XEN_HVM guests as that is
   solely controlled by the hypervisor

 - A build fix to make the function prototype (__warn()) as visible as
   the definition itself

 - A bunch of objtool annotation fixes which have accumulated over time

 - An ORC unwinder fix to handle bad input gracefully

 - Well, we thought the microcode gets loaded in time in order to
   restore the microcode-emulated MSRs but we thought wrong. So there's
   a fix for that to have the ordering done properly

 - Add new Intel model numbers

 - A spelling fix

<title>x86: __memcpy_flushcache: fix wrong alignment if size &gt; 2^32</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a6823e4e360fe975bd3da4ab156df7c74c8b07f3</id>
<content type='text'>
The first "if" condition in __memcpy_flushcache is supposed to align the
"dest" variable to 8 bytes and copy data up to this alignment.  However,
this condition may misbehave if "size" is greater than 4GiB.

The statement min_t(unsigned, size, ALIGN(dest, 8) - dest); casts both
arguments to unsigned int and selects the smaller one.  However, the
cast truncates high bits in "size" and it results in misbehavior.

For example:

	suppose that size == 0x100000001, dest == 0x200000002
	min_t(unsigned, size, ALIGN(dest, 8) - dest) == min_t(0x1, 0xe) == 0x1;
	...
	dest += 0x1;

so we copy just one byte "and" dest remains unaligned.

This patch fixes the bug by replacing unsigned with size_t.
