The IRET instruction, when returning to a 16-bit segment, only restores the bottom 16 bits of the user space stack pointer. We have a software workaround for that ("espfix") for the 32-bit kernel, but it relies on a nonzero stack segment base which is not available in 32-bit mode. Since 16-bit support is somewhat crippled anyway on a 64-bit kernel (no V86 mode), and most (if not quite all) 64-bit processors support virtualization for the users who really need it, simply reject attempts at creating a 16-bit segment when running on top of a 64-bit kernel.

Merge tag 'efi-urgent' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mfleming/efi into x86/urgent Pull EFI fixes from Matt Fleming: "* Fix EFI boot regression introduced during the merge window where the firmware was reading random values from the stack because we were passing a pointer to the wrong object type. * Kernel corruption has been reported when booting with the EFI boot stub which was tracked down to setting a bogus value for bp->hdr.code32_start, resulting in corruption during relocation. * Olivier Martin reported that the wrong file handles were being passed to efi_file_(read|close), which works for x86 by luck due to the way that the FAT driver is implemented, but doesn't work on ARM."

We're currently passing the file handle for the root file system to efi_file_read() and efi_file_close(), instead of the file handle for the file we wish to read/close. While this has worked up until now, it seems that it has only been by pure luck. Olivier explains, "The issue is the UEFI Fat driver might return the same function for 'fh->read()' and 'h->read()'. While in our case it does not work with a different implementation of EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL. In our case, we return a different pointer when reading a directory and reading a file." Fixing this actually clears up the two functions because we can drop one of the arguments, and instead only pass a file 'handle' argument.

code32_start should point at the start of the protected mode code, and *not* at the beginning of the bzImage. This is much easier to do in assembly so document that callers of make_boot_params() need to fill out code32_start. The fallout from this bug is that we would end up relocating the image but copying the image at some offset, resulting in what appeared to be memory corruption.

commit 54b52d87 ("x86/efi: Build our own EFI services pointer table") introduced a regression because the 64-bit file_size() implementation passed a pointer to a 32-bit data object, instead of a pointer to a 64-bit object. Because the firmware treats the object as 64-bits regardless it was reading random values from the stack for the upper 32-bits. This resulted in people being unable to boot their machines, after seeing the following error messages, Failed to get file info size Failed to alloc highmem for files Reported-by: Dzmitry Sledneu <dzmitry.sledneu@gmail.com> Reported-by: Koen Kooi <koen@dominion.thruhere.net> Tested-by: Koen Kooi <koen@dominion.thruhere.net> Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com>

Pull irq code updates from Thomas Gleixner: "The irq department proudly presents: - Another tree wide sweep of irq infrastructure abuse. Clear winner of the trainwreck engineering contest was: #include "../../../kernel/irq/settings.h" - Tree wide update of irq_set_affinity() callbacks which miss a cpu online check when picking a single cpu out of the affinity mask. - Tree wide consolidation of interrupt statistics. - Updates to the threaded interrupt infrastructure to allow explicit wakeup of the interrupt thread and a variant of synchronize_irq() which synchronizes only the hard interrupt handler. Both are needed to replace the homebrewn thread handling in the mmc/sdhci code. - New irq chip callbacks to allow proper support for GPIO based irqs. The GPIO based interrupts need to request/release GPIO resources from request/free_irq. - A few new ARM interrupt chips.

A change introduced with commit 60283df7 ("x86/apic: Read Error Status Register correctly") removed a read from the APIC ESR register made before writing to same required to retrieve the correct error status on Pentium systems affected by the 3AP erratum[1]: "3AP. Writes to Error Register Clears Register PROBLEM: The APIC Error register is intended to only be read. If there is a write to this register the data in the APIC Error register will be cleared and lost. IMPLICATION: There is a possibility of clearing the Error register status since the write to the register is not specifically blocked. WORKAROUND: Writes should not occur to the Pentium processor APIC Error register. STATUS: For the steppings affected see the Summary Table of Changes at the beginning of this section." The steppings affected are actually: B1, B3 and B5. To avoid this information loss this change avoids the write to ESR on all Pentium systems where it is actually never needed; in Pentium processor documentation ESR was noted read-only and the write only required for future architectural compatibility[2]. The approach taken is the same as in lapic_setup_esr().

Pull s390 compat wrapper rework from Heiko Carstens: "S390 compat system call wrapper simplification work. The intention of this work is to get rid of all hand written assembly compat system call wrappers on s390, which perform proper sign or zero extension, or pointer conversion of compat system call parameters. Instead all of this should be done with C code eg by using Al's COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro. Therefore all common code and s390 specific compat system calls have been converted to the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro. In order to generate correct code all compat system calls may only have eg compat_ulong_t parameters, but no unsigned long parameters. Those patches which change parameter types from unsigned long to compat_ulong_t parameters are separate in this series, but shouldn't cause any harm. The only compat system calls which intentionally have 64 bit parameters (preadv64 and pwritev64) in support of the x86/32 ABI haven't been changed, but are now only available if an architecture defines __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_PREADV64/PWRITEV64. System calls which do not have a compat variant but still need proper zero extension on s390, like eg "long sys_brk(unsigned long brk)" will get a proper wrapper function with the new s390 specific COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAPx() macro: COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP1(brk, unsigned long, brk); which generates the following code (simplified): asmlinkage long sys_brk(unsigned long brk); asmlinkage long compat_sys_brk(long brk) { return sys_brk((u32)brk); } Given that the C file which contains all the COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP lines includes both linux/syscall.h and linux/compat.h, it will generate build errors, if the declaration of sys_brk() doesn't match, or if there exists a non-matching compat_sys_brk() declaration. In addition this will intentionally result in a link error if somewhere else a compat_sys_brk() function exists, which probably should have been used instead. Two more BUILD_BUG_ONs make sure the size and type of each compat syscall parameter can be handled correctly with the s390 specific macros. I converted the compat system calls step by step to verify the generated code is correct and matches the previous code. In fact it did not always match, however that was always a bug in the hand written asm code. In result we get less code, less bugs, and much more sanity checking" * 'compat' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux: (44 commits) s390/compat: add copyright statement compat: include linux/unistd.h within linux/compat.h s390/compat: get rid of compat wrapper assembly code s390/compat: build error for large compat syscall args mm/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE with changing parameter types kexec/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE with changing parameter types net/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE with changing parameter types ipc/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE with changing parameter types fs/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE with changing parameter types ipc/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE fs/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE security/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE mm/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE net/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE kernel/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE fs/compat: optional preadv64/pwrite64 compat system calls ipc/compat_sys_msgrcv: change msgtyp type from long to compat_long_t s390/compat: partial parameter conversion within syscall wrappers s390/compat: automatic zero, sign and pointer conversion of syscalls s390/compat: add sync_file_range and fallocate compat syscalls ...

This patchset should conclude the x86-specific changes, and remaining patches to actually enable LTO will be fed through the Kbuild tree (other than keeping up with changes to the x86 code base, of course), although not necessarily in this merge window" * 'x86-asmlinkage-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (25 commits) Kbuild, lto: Handle basic LTO in modpost Kbuild, lto: Disable LTO for asm-offsets.c Kbuild, lto: Add a gcc-ld script to let run gcc as ld Kbuild, lto: add ld-version and ld-ifversion macros Kbuild, lto: Drop .number postfixes in modpost Kbuild, lto, workaround: Don't warn for initcall_reference in modpost lto: Disable LTO for sys_ni lto: Handle LTO common symbols in module loader lto, workaround: Add workaround for initcall reordering lto: Make asmlinkage __visible x86, lto: Disable LTO for the x86 VDSO initconst, x86: Fix initconst mistake in ts5500 code initconst: Fix initconst mistake in dcdbas asmlinkage: Make trace_hardirqs_on/off_caller visible asmlinkage, x86: Fix 32bit memcpy for LTO asmlinkage Make __stack_chk_failed and memcmp visible asmlinkage: Mark rwsem functions that can be called from assembler asmlinkage asmlinkage: Make main_extable_sort_needed visible asmlinkage, mutex: Mark __visible asmlinkage: Make trace_hardirq visible ...

Commit 03bbcb2e (iommu/vt-d: add quirk for broken interrupt remapping on 55XX chipsets) properly disables irq remapping on the 5500/5520 chipsets that don't correctly perform that feature. However, when I wrote it, I followed the errata sheet linked in that commit too closely, and explicitly tied the activation of the quirk to revision 0x13 of the chip, under the assumption that earlier revisions were not in the field. Recently a system was reported to be suffering from this remap bug and the quirk hadn't triggered, because the revision id register read at a lower value that 0x13, so the quirk test failed improperly. Given this, it seems only prudent to adjust this quirk so that any revision less than 0x13 has the quirk asserted.
