      Pull x86 spectre fixes from Borislav Petkov:
      
       - Mitigate Spectre v2-type Branch History Buffer attacks on machines
         which support eIBRS, i.e., the hardware-assisted speculation
         restriction after it has been shown that such machines are vulnerable
         even with the hardware mitigation.
      
       - Do not use the default LFENCE-based Spectre v2 mitigation on AMD as
         it is insufficient to mitigate such attacks. Instead, switch to
         retpolines on all AMD by default.
      
       - Update the docs and add some warnings for the obviously vulnerable
         cmdline configurations.

      Pull MTD fix from Miquel Raynal:
       "As part of a previous changeset introducing support for the K3
        architecture, the OMAP_GPMC (a non visible symbol) got selected by the
        selection of MTD_NAND_OMAP2 instead of doing so from the architecture
        directly (like for the other users of these two drivers). Indeed, from
        a hardware perspective, the OMAP NAND controller needs the GPMC to
        work.
      
        This led to a robot error which got addressed in fix merge into -rc4.
        Unfortunately, the approach at this time still used "select" and lead
        to further build error reports (sparc64:allmodconfig).
      
        This time we switch to 'depends on' in order to prevent random
        misconfigurations. The different dependencies will however need a
        future cleanup"

      swiotlb: rework "fix info leak with DMA_FROM_DEVICE" · aa6f8dcb
      Halil Pasic authored
      Unfortunately, we ended up merging an old version of the patch "fix info
      leak with DMA_FROM_DEVICE" instead of merging the latest one. Christoph
      (the swiotlb maintainer), he asked me to create an incremental fix
      (after I have pointed this out the mix up, and asked him for guidance).
      So here we go.
      
      The main differences between what we got and what was agreed are:
      * swiotlb_sync_single_for_device is also required to do an extra bounce
      * We decided not to introduce DMA_ATTR_OVERWRITE until we have exploiters
      * The implantation of DMA_ATTR_OVERWRITE is flawed: DMA_ATTR_OVERWRITE
        must take precedence over DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC
      
      Thus this patch removes DMA_ATTR_OVERWRITE, and makes
      swiotlb_sync_single_for_device() bounce unconditionally (that is, also
      when dir == DMA_TO_DEVICE) in order do avoid synchronising back stale
      data from the swiotlb buffer.
      
      Let me note, that if the size used with dma_sync_* API is less than the
      size used with dma_[un]map_*, under certain circumstances we may still
      end up with swiotlb not being transparent. In that sense, this is no
      perfect fix either.
      
      To get this bullet proof, we would have to bounce the entire
      mapping/bounce buffer. For that we would have to figure out the starting
      address, and the size of the mapping in
      swiotlb_sync_single_for_device(). While this does seem possible, there
      seems to be no firm consensus on how things are supposed to work.

      The root of the problem is that we are selecting symbols that have
      dependencies. This can cause random configurations that can fail.
      The cleanest solution is to avoid using select.
      
      This driver uses interfaces from the OMAP_GPMC driver so we have to
      depend on it instead.
