Subject: [Variant 2/Spectre-v2] arm64: KVM: Make PSCI_VERSION a fast path
From: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier(a)arm.com>
Commit 90348689d500 upstream.
For those CPUs that require PSCI to perform a BP invalidation,
going all the way to the PSCI code for not much is a waste of
precious cycles. Let's terminate that call as early as possible.

Subject: [Variant 2/Spectre-v2] arm64: KVM: Increment PC after handling an SMC trap
From: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier(a)arm.com>
Commit f5115e8869e1 upstream.
When handling an SMC trap, the "preferred return address" is set
to that of the SMC, and not the next PC (which is a departure from
the behaviour of an SMC that isn't trapped).
Increment PC in the handler, as the guest is otherwise forever
stuck...

We want SMCCC_ARCH_WORKAROUND_1 to be fast. As fast as possible.
So let's intercept it as early as we can by testing for the
function call number as soon as we've identified a HVC call
coming from the guest.

Subject: [Variant 3/Meltdown] arm64: Kconfig: Reword UNMAP_KERNEL_AT_EL0 kconfig entry
From: Will Deacon <will.deacon(a)arm.com>
Commit 0617052ddde3 upstream.
Although CONFIG_UNMAP_KERNEL_AT_EL0 does make KASLR more robust, it's
actually more useful as a mitigation against speculation attacks that
can leak arbitrary kernel data to userspace through speculation.
Reword the Kconfig help message to reflect this, and make the option
depend on EXPERT so that it is on by default for the majority of users.

- Some attacks against KASLR make use of the timing difference between
- a permission fault which could arise from a page table entry that is
- present in the TLB, and a translation fault which always requires a
- page table walk. This option defends against these attacks by unmapping
- the kernel whilst running in userspace, therefore forcing translation
- faults for all of kernel space.
+ Speculation attacks against some high-performance processors can
+ be used to bypass MMU permission checks and leak kernel data to
+ userspace. This can be defended against by unmapping the kernel
+ when running in userspace, mapping it back in on exception entry
+ via a trampoline page in the vector table.
If unsure, say Y.
