Pull s390 updates from Heiko Carstens: "The main thing in this merge is the defense for the Spectre vulnerabilities. But there are other updates as well, the changes in more detail: - An s390 specific implementation of the array_index_mask_nospec function to the defense against spectre v1 - Two patches to utilize the new PPA-12/PPA-13 instructions to run the kernel and/or user space with reduced branch predicton. - The s390 variant of the 'retpoline' spectre v2 defense called 'expoline'. There is no return instruction for s390, instead an indirect branch is used for function return The s390 defense mechanism for indirect branches works by using an execute-type instruction with the indirect branch as the target of the execute. In effect that turns off the prediction for the indirect branch. - Scrub registers in entry.S that contain user controlled values to prevent the speculative use of these values. - Re-add the second parameter for the s390 specific runtime instrumentation system call and move the header file to uapi. The second parameter will continue to do nothing but older kernel versions only accepted valid real-time signal numbers. The details will be documented in the man-page for the system call. - Corrections and improvements for the s390 specific documentation - Add a line to /proc/sysinfo to display the CPU model dependent license-internal-code identifier - A header file include fix for eadm. - An error message fix in the kprobes code. - The removal of an outdated ARCH_xxx select statement" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux: s390/kconfig: Remove ARCH_WANTS_PROT_NUMA_PROT_NONE select s390: introduce execute-trampolines for branches s390: run user space and KVM guests with modified branch prediction s390: add options to change branch prediction behaviour for the kernel s390/alternative: use a copy of the facility bit mask s390: add optimized array_index_mask_nospec s390: scrub registers on kernel entry and KVM exit s390/cio: fix kernel-doc usage s390/runtime_instrumentation: re-add signum system call parameter s390/cpum_cf: correct counter number of LAST_HOST_TRANSLATIONS s390/kprobes: Fix %p uses in error messages s390/runtime instrumentation: provide uapi header file s390/sysinfo: add and display licensed internal code identifier s390/docs: reword airq section s390/docs: mention subchannel types s390/cmf: fix kerneldoc s390/eadm: fix CONFIG_BLOCK include dependency |
