x86_microcode_for_5.8

A single fix for late microcode loading to handle the correct return
value from stop_machine(), from Mihai Carabas.

v5.7

Linux 5.7

x86-urgent-2020-05-31

A pile of x86 fixes:

  - Prevent a memory leak in ioperm which was caused by the stupid
    assumption that the exit cleanup is always called for current, which is
    not the case when fork fails after taking a reference on the ioperm
    bitmap.

  - Fix an arithmething overflow in the DMA code on 32bit systems

  - Fill gaps in the xstate copy with defaults instead of leaving them
    uninitialized

  - Revert: o"Make __X32_SYSCALL_BIT be unsigned long" as it turned out
    that existing user space fails to build.

sched-urgent-2020-05-31

A single scheduler fix preventing a crash in NUMA balancing. The
current->mm check is not reliable as the mm might be temporary
due to use_mm() in a kthread. Check for PF_KTHREAD explictely.

xfs-5.8-merge-8

New code for 5.8:
    - Various cleanups to remove dead code, unnecessary conditionals,
      asserts, etc.
    - Fix a linker warning caused by xfs stuffing '-g' into CFLAGS
      redundantly.
    - Tighten up our dmesg logging to ensure that everything is prefixed
      with 'XFS' for easier grepping.
    - Kill a bunch of typedefs.
    - Refactor the deferred ops code to reduce indirect function calls.
    - Increase type-safety with the deferred ops code.
    - Make the DAX mount options a tri-state.
    - Fix some error handling problems in the inode flush code and clean up
      other inode flush warts.
    - Refactor log recovery so that each log item recovery functions now live
      with the other log item processing code.
    - Fix some SPDX forms.
    - Fix quota counter corruption if the fs crashes after running
      quotacheck but before any dquots get logged.
    - Don't fail metadata verification on zero-entry attr leaf blocks, since
      they're just part of the disk format now due to a historic lack of log
      atomicity.
    - Don't allow SWAPEXT between files with different [ugp]id when quotas
      are enabled.
    - Refactor inode fork reading and verification to run directly from the
      inode-from-disk function.  This means that we now actually guarantee
      that _iget'ted inodes are totally verified and ready to go.
    - Move the incore inode fork format and extent counts to the ifork
      structure.
    - Scalability improvements by reducing cacheline pingponging in
      struct xfs_mount.
    - More scalability improvements by removing m_active_trans from the
      hot path.
    - Fix inode counter update sanity checking to run /only/ on debug
      kernels.
    - Fix longstanding inconsistency in what error code we return when a
      program hits project quota limits (ENOSPC).
    - Fix group quota returning the wrong error code when a program hits
      group quota limits.
    - Fix per-type quota limits and grace periods for group and project
      quotas so that they actually work.
    - Allow extension of individual grace periods.
    - Refactor the non-reclaim inode radix tree walking code to remove a
      bunch of stupid little functions and straighten out the
      inconsistent naming schemes.
    - Fix a bug in speculative preallocation where we measured a new
      allocation based on the last extent mapping in the file instead of
      looking farther for the last contiguous space allocation.
    - Force delalloc writes to unwritten extents.  This closes a
      stale disk contents exposure vector if the system goes down before
      the write completes.
    - More lockdep whackamole.

x86-urgent-2020-05-24

Two fixes for x86:

  - Unbreak stack dumps for inactive tasks by interpreting the special
    first frame left by __switch_to_asm() correctly. The recent change not
    to skip the first frame so ORC and frame unwinder behave in the same
    way caused all entries to be unreliable, i.e. prepended with '?'.

  - Use cpumask_available() instead of an implicit NULL check of a
    cpumask_var_t in mmio trace to prevent a Clang build warning

sched-urgent-2020-05-24

A set of fixes for the scheduler:

 - Fix handling of throttled parents in enqueue_task_fair() completely. The
   recent fix overlooked a corner case where the first iteration terminates
   do a entiry being on rq which makes the list management incomplete and
   later triggers the assertion which checks for completeness.

 - Fix a similar problem in unthrottle_cfs_rq().

 - Show the correct uclamp values in procfs which prints the effective
   value twice instead of requested and effective.

efi-urgent-2020-05-24

A set of EFI fixes:

 - Don't return a garbage screen info when EFI framebuffer is not available

 - Make the early EFI console work proper with wider fonts instead of drawing
   garbage

 - Prevent a memory buffer leak in allocate_e820()

 - Print the firmware error record proper so it can be decoded by users

 - Fix a symbol clash in the host tool build which only happens with newer
   compilers.

 - Add a missing check for the event log version of TPM which caused boot
   fails on several Dell systems due to an attempt to decode SHA-1 format
   with the crypto agile algorithm
