From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk(a)oracle.com>
commit 36268223c1e9981d6cfc33aff8520b3bde4b8114 upstream.
As:
1) It's known that hypervisors lie about the environment anyhow (host
mismatch)
2) Even if the hypervisor (Xen, KVM, VMWare, etc) provided a valid
"correct" value, it all gets to be very murky when migration happens
(do you provide the "new" microcode of the machine?).
And in reality the cloud vendors are the ones that should make sure that
the microcode that is running is correct and we should just sing lalalala
and trust them.

From: Tim Chen <tim.c.chen(a)linux.intel.com>
commit 18bf3c3ea8ece8f03b6fc58508f2dfd23c7711c7 upstream.
Flush indirect branches when switching into a process that marked itself
non dumpable. This protects high value processes like gpg better,
without having too high performance overhead.
If done naïvely, we could switch to a kernel idle thread and then back
to the original process, such as:
process A -> idle -> process A
In such scenario, we do not have to do IBPB here even though the process
is non-dumpable, as we are switching back to the same process after a
hiatus.
To avoid the redundant IBPB, which is expensive, we track the last mm
user context ID. The cost is to have an extra u64 mm context id to track
the last mm we were using before switching to the init_mm used by idle.
Avoiding the extra IBPB is probably worth the extra memory for this
common scenario.
For those cases where tlb_defer_switch_to_init_mm() returns true (non
PCID), lazy tlb will defer switch to init_mm, so we will not be changing
the mm for the process A -> idle -> process A switch. So IBPB will be
skipped for this case.
Thanks to the reviewers and Andy Lutomirski for the suggestion of
using ctx_id which got rid of the problem of mm pointer recycling.

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto(a)kernel.org>
commit f39681ed0f48498b80455095376f11535feea332 upstream.
This adds two new variables to mmu_context_t: ctx_id and tlb_gen.
ctx_id uniquely identifies the mm_struct and will never be reused.
For a given mm_struct (and hence ctx_id), tlb_gen is a monotonic
count of the number of times that a TLB flush has been requested.
The pair (ctx_id, tlb_gen) can be used as an identifier for TLB
flush actions and will be used in subsequent patches to reliably
determine whether all needed TLB flushes have occurred on a given
CPU.
This patch is split out for ease of review. By itself, it has no
real effect other than creating and updating the new variables.
