      ARM: vfp: Remove workaround for Feroceon CPUs · 4a0548c6
      Ard Biesheuvel authored 
      Feroceon CPUs have a non-standard implementation of VFP which reports
synchronous VFP exceptions using the async VFP flag. This requires a
workaround which is difficult to reconcile with other implementations,
making it tricky to support both versions in a single image.

Since this is a v5 CPU, it is not supported by armhf and so the
likelihood that anybody is using this with recent distros/kernels and
rely on the VFP at the same time is extremely low. So let's just disable
VFP support on these cores, so we can remove the workaround.

This will help future development to support v5 and v6 CPUs with a
single kernel image.

      ARM: vfp: Record VFP bounces as perf emulation faults · 87691776
      Ard Biesheuvel authored 
      VFP 'bouncing' occurs when the VFP unit cannot complete the execution of
a VFP instruction, either because it is not implemented at all, or
because the values of the arguments are out of range for the hardware
implementation, and the software needs to step in to complete the
operation.

To give some insight in how much certain programs rely on this bouncing,
record the emulation of a VFP instruction in perf's emulation-faults
counter.

This can be used like so

  perf stat -e emulation-faults ./testfloat -all2

and the output will be something like

 Performance counter stats for './testfloat -all2':

      x86/retbleed: Fix return thunk alignment · 9a48d604
      Borislav Petkov (AMD) authored 
      SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL_NOALIGN() adds an endbr leading to this layout
(leaving only the last 2 bytes of the address):

  3bff <zen_untrain_ret>:
  3bff:       f3 0f 1e fa             endbr64
  3c03:       f6                      test   $0xcc,%bl

  3c04 <__x86_return_thunk>:
  3c04:       c3                      ret
  3c05:       cc                      int3
  3c06:       0f ae e8                lfence

However, "the RET at __x86_return_thunk must be on a 64 byte boundary,
for alignment within the BTB."

Use SYM_START instead.

      Pull more btrfs fixes from David Sterba:

 - fix incorrect number of bitmap entries for space cache if loading is
   interrupted by some error

 - fix backref walking, this breaks a mode of LOGICAL_INO_V2 ioctl that
   is used in deduplication tools

 - zoned mode fixes:
      - properly finish zone reserved for relocation
      - correctly calculate super block zone end on ZNS
      - properly initialize new extent buffer for redirty

 - make mount option clear_cache work with block-group-tree, to rebuild
   free-space-tree instead of temporarily disabling it that would lead
   to a forced read-only mount

 - fix alignment check for offset when printing extent item

  right now.

  Nothing's reproducing on my end, though, and this fixes some pretty
  concrete issues so I figured there's no reason to delay it:

      pipe: check for IOCB_NOWAIT alongside O_NONBLOCK · c04fe8e3
      Jens Axboe authored 
      Pipe reads or writes need to enable nonblocking attempts, if either
O_NONBLOCK is set on the file, or IOCB_NOWAIT is set in the iocb being
passed in. The latter isn't currently true, ensure we check for both
before waiting on data or space.
