Pull x86 srbds fixes from Thomas Gleixner: "The 9th episode of the dime novel "The performance killer" with the subtitle "Slow Randomizing Boosts Denial of Service". SRBDS is an MDS-like speculative side channel that can leak bits from the random number generator (RNG) across cores and threads. New microcode serializes the processor access during the execution of RDRAND and RDSEED. This ensures that the shared buffer is overwritten before it is released for reuse. This is equivalent to a full bus lock, which means that many threads running the RNG instructions in parallel have the same effect as the same amount of threads issuing a locked instruction targeting an address which requires locking of two cachelines at once. The mitigation support comes with the usual pile of unpleasant ingredients: - command line options - sysfs file - microcode checks - a list of vulnerable CPUs identified by model and stepping this time which requires stepping match support for the cpu match logic. - the inevitable slowdown of affected CPUs" * branch 'x86/srbds' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/speculation: Add Ivy Bridge to affected list x86/speculation: Add SRBDS vulnerability and mitigation documentation x86/speculation: Add Special Register Buffer Data Sampling (SRBDS) mitigation x86/cpu: Add 'table' argument to cpu_matches()

Pull remoteproc updates from Bjorn Andersson: "This introduces device managed versions of functions used to register remoteproc devices, add support for remoteproc driver specific resource control, enables remoteproc drivers to specify ELF class and machine for coredumps. It integrates pm_runtime in the core for keeping resources active while the remote is booted and holds a wake source while recoverying a remote processor after a firmware crash. It refactors the remoteproc device's allocation path to simplify the logic, fix a few cleanup bugs and to not clone const strings onto the heap. Debugfs code is simplifies using the DEFINE_SHOW_ATTRIBUTE and a zero-length array is replaced with flexible-array. A new remoteproc driver for the JZ47xx VPU is introduced, the Qualcomm SM8250 gains support for audio, compute and sensor remoteprocs and the Qualcomm SC7180 modem support is cleaned up and improved. The Qualcomm glink subsystem-restart driver is merged into the main glink driver, the Qualcomm sysmon driver is extended to properly notify remote processors about all other remote processors' state transitions" * tag 'rproc-v5.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/andersson/remoteproc: (43 commits) remoteproc: Fix an error code in devm_rproc_alloc() MAINTAINERS: Add myself as reviewer for Ingenic rproc driver remoteproc: ingenic: Added remoteproc driver remoteproc: Add support for runtime PM dt-bindings: Document JZ47xx VPU auxiliary processor remoteproc: wcss: Fix arguments passed to qcom_add_glink_subdev() remoteproc: Fix and restore the parenting hierarchy for vdev remoteproc: Fall back to using parent memory pool if no dedicated available remoteproc: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array remoteproc: wcss: add support for rpmsg communication remoteproc: core: Prevent system suspend during remoteproc recovery remoteproc: qcom_q6v5_mss: Remove unused q6v5_da_to_va function remoteproc: qcom_q6v5_mss: map/unmap mpss segments before/after use remoteproc: qcom_q6v5_mss: Drop accesses to MPSS PERPH register space dt-bindings: remoteproc: qcom: Replace halt-nav with spare-regs remoteproc: qcom: pas: Add SM8250 PAS remoteprocs dt-bindings: remoteproc: qcom: pas: Add SM8250 remoteprocs remoteproc: qcom_q6v5_mss: Extract mba/mpss from memory-region dt-bindings: remoteproc: qcom: Use memory-region to reference memory remoteproc: qcom: pas: Add SC7180 Modem support ...

Pull iommu updates from Joerg Roedel: "A big part of this is a change in how devices get connected to IOMMUs in the core code. It contains the change from the old add_device() / remove_device() to the new probe_device() / release_device() call-backs. As a result functionality that was previously in the IOMMU drivers has been moved to the IOMMU core code, including IOMMU group allocation for each device. The reason for this change was to get more robust allocation of default domains for the iommu groups. A couple of fixes were necessary after this was merged into the IOMMU tree, but there are no known bugs left. The last fix is applied on-top of the merge commit for the topic branches. Other than that change, we have: - Removal of the driver private domain handling in the Intel VT-d driver. This was fragile code and I am glad it is gone now. - More Intel VT-d updates from Lu Baolu: - Nested Shared Virtual Addressing (SVA) support to the Intel VT-d driver - Replacement of the Intel SVM interfaces to the common IOMMU SVA API - SVA Page Request draining support - ARM-SMMU Updates from Will: - Avoid mapping reserved MMIO space on SMMUv3, so that it can be claimed by the PMU driver - Use xarray to manage ASIDs on SMMUv3 - Reword confusing shutdown message - DT compatible string updates - Allow implementations to override the default domain type - A new IOMMU driver for the Allwinner Sun50i platform - Support for ATS gets disabled for untrusted devices (like Thunderbolt devices). This includes a PCI patch, acked by Bjorn. - Some cleanups to the AMD IOMMU driver to make more use of IOMMU core features. - Unification of some printk formats in the Intel and AMD IOMMU drivers and in the IOVA code. - Updates for DT bindings - A number of smaller fixes and cleanups. * tag 'iommu-updates-v5.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/joro/iommu: (109 commits) iommu: Check for deferred attach in iommu_group_do_dma_attach() iommu/amd: Remove redundant devid checks iommu/amd: Store dev_data as device iommu private data iommu/amd: Merge private header files iommu/amd: Remove PD_DMA_OPS_MASK iommu/amd: Consolidate domain allocation/freeing iommu/amd: Free page-table in protection_domain_free() iommu/amd: Allocate page-table in protection_domain_init() iommu/amd: Let free_pagetable() not rely on domain->pt_root iommu/amd: Unexport get_dev_data() iommu/vt-d: Fix compile warning iommu/vt-d: Remove real DMA lookup in find_domain iommu/vt-d: Allocate domain info for real DMA sub-devices iommu/vt-d: Only clear real DMA device's context entries iommu: Remove iommu_sva_ops::mm_exit() uacce: Remove mm_exit() op iommu/sun50i: Constify sun50i_iommu_ops iommu/hyper-v: Constify hyperv_ir_domain_ops iommu/vt-d: Use pci_ats_supported() iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Use pci_ats_supported() ... -

Patch series "sort out the flush_icache_range mess", v2. flush_icache_range is mostly used for kernel address, except for the following cases: - the nommu brk and mmap implementations - the read_code helper that is only used for binfmt_flat, binfmt_elf_fdpic, and binfmt_aout including the broken ia32 compat version - binfmt_flat itself none of which really are used by a typical MMU enabled kernel, as a.out can only be build for alpha and m68k to start with. But strangely enough commit ae92ef8a ("PATCH] flush icache in correct context") added a "set_fs(KERNEL_DS)" around the flush_icache_range call in the module loader, because apparently m68k assumed user pointers. This series first cleans up the cacheflush implementations, largely by switching as much as possible to the asm-generic version after a few preparations, then moves the misnamed current flush_icache_user_range to a new name, to finally introduce a real flush_icache_user_range to be used for the above use cases to flush the instruction cache for a userspace address range. The last patch then drops the set_fs in the module code and moves it into the m68k implementation. This patch (of 29): The arguments passed look bogus, try to fix them to something that seems to make sense. Signed-off-by:
