Pull x86 cache resource controller updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"An update for the Intel Resource Director Technolgy (RDT) which adds a
feedback driven software controller to runtime adjust the bandwidth
allocation MSRs.
This makes the allocations more accurate and allows to use bandwidth
values in understandable units (MB/s) instead of using percentage
based allocations as the original, still available, interface.
The software controller can be enabled with a new mount option for the
resctrl filesystem"

This is something drivers should decide (modulo chipset quirks like
for VIA), which as far as I can tell is how things have been handled
for the last 15 years.
Note that we keep the usedac option for now, as it is used in the wild
to override the too generic VIA quirk.

Limiting the dma mask to avoid PCI (pre-PCIe) DAC cycles while paying
the huge overhead of an IOMMU is rather pointless, and this seriously
gets in the way of dma mapping work.

This is just the minimal workaround. The file is mostly either stale
and/or duplicative of Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt,
but that is much more work than I'm willing to do right now.

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of fixes and updates for x86:
- Address a swiotlb regression which was caused by the recent DMA
rework and made driver fail because dma_direct_supported() returned
false
- Fix a signedness bug in the APIC ID validation which caused invalid
APIC IDs to be detected as valid thereby bloating the CPU possible
space.
- Fix inconsisten config dependcy/select magic for the MFD_CS5535
driver.
- Fix a corruption of the physical address space bits when encryption
has reduced the address space and late cpuinfo updates overwrite
the reduced bit information with the original value.
- Dominiks syscall rework which consolidates the architecture
specific syscall functions so all syscalls can be wrapped with the
same macros. This allows to switch x86/64 to struct pt_regs based
syscalls. Extend the clearing of user space controlled registers in
the entry patch to the lower registers"

"Here is the set of "big" driver core patches for 4.16-rc1.
The majority of the work here is in the firmware subsystem, with
reworks to try to attempt to make the code easier to handle in the
long run, but no functional change. There's also some tree-wide sysfs
attribute fixups with lots of acks from the various subsystem
maintainers, as well as a handful of other normal fixes and changes.
And finally, some license cleanups for the driver core and sysfs code.
All have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues"

"A small set of fixes for the meltdown/spectre mitigations:
- Make kprobes aware of retpolines to prevent probes in the retpoline

- Make the machine check exception speculation protected. MCE used to
issue an indirect call directly from the ASM entry code. Convert
that to a direct call into a C-function and issue the indirect call
from there so the compiler can add the retpoline protection,
- Make the vmexit_fill_RSB() assembly less stupid

"This contains:
- a PTI bugfix to avoid setting reserved CR3 bits when PCID is
disabled. This seems to cause issues on a virtual machine at least
and is incorrect according to the AMD manual.
- a PTI bugfix which disables the perf BTS facility if PTI is
enabled. The BTS AUX buffer is not globally visible and causes the
CPU to fault when the mapping disappears on switching CR3 to user
space. A full fix which restores BTS on PTI is non trivial and will
be worked on.
- PTI bugfixes for EFI and trusted boot which make sure that the user
space visible page table entries have the NX bit cleared
- removal of dead code in the PTI pagetable setup functions
- add PTI documentation
- add a selftest for vsyscall to verify that the kernel actually
implements what it advertises.
- a sysfs interface to expose vulnerability and mitigation
information so there is a coherent way for users to retrieve the
status.
- the initial spectre_v2 mitigations, aka retpoline:
+ The necessary ASM thunk and compiler support
+ The ASM variants of retpoline and the conversion of affected ASM
code
+ Make LFENCE serializing on AMD so it can be used as speculation
trap
+ The RSB fill after vmexit
- initial objtool support for retpoline
As I said in the status mail this is the most of the set of patches
which should go into 4.15 except two straight forward patches still on
hold:
- the retpoline add on of LFENCE which waits for ACKs
- the RSB fill after context switch
Both should be ready to go early next week and with that we'll have
covered the major holes of spectre_v2 and go back to normality"

"Another small stash of fixes for fallout from the PTI work:
- Fix the modules vs. KASAN breakage which was caused by making
MODULES_END depend of the fixmap size. That was done when the cpu
entry area moved into the fixmap, but now that we have a separate
map space for that this is causing more issues than it solves.
- Use the proper cache flush methods for the debugstore buffers as
they are mapped/unmapped during runtime and not statically mapped
at boot time like the rest of the cpu entry area.
- Make the map layout of the cpu_entry_area consistent for 4 and 5
level paging and fix the KASLR vaddr_end wreckage.
- Use PER_CPU_EXPORT for per cpu variable and while at it unbreak
nvidia gfx drivers by dropping the GPL export. The subject line of
the commit tells it the other way around, but I noticed that too
late.
- Fix the ASM alternative macros so they can be used in the middle of
an inline asm block.
- Rename the BUG_CPU_INSECURE flag to BUG_CPU_MELTDOWN so the attack
vector is properly identified. The Spectre mitigations will come
with their own bug bits later"
