Minimal supplement to upstream Kernel Self Protection Project changes. Features already provided by SELinux + Yama and archs other than multiarch arm64 / x86_64 aren't in scope. Only tags have stable history. Shared IRC channel with KSPP: irc.libera.chat #linux-hardening

Pull x86 updates and fixes from Thomas Gleixner: - Fix the (late) fallout from the vector management rework causing hlist corruption and irq descriptor reference leaks caused by a missing sanity check. The straight forward fix triggered another long standing issue to surface. The pre rework code hid the issue due to being way slower, but now the chance that user space sees an EBUSY error return when updating irq affinities is way higher, though quite a bunch of userspace tools do not handle it properly despite the fact that EBUSY could be returned for at least 10 years. It turned out that the EBUSY return can be avoided completely by utilizing the existing delayed affinity update mechanism for irq remapped scenarios as well. That's a bit more error handling in the kernel, but avoids fruitless fingerpointing discussions with tool developers. - Decouple PHYSICAL_MASK from AMD SME as its going to be required for the upcoming Intel memory encryption support as well. - Handle legacy device ACPI detection properly for newer platforms - Fix the wrong argument ordering in the vector allocation tracepoint - Simplify the IDT setup code for the APIC=n case - Use the proper string helpers in the MTRR code - Remove a stale unused VDSO source file - Convert the microcode update lock to a raw spinlock as its used in atomic context. * 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/intel_rdt: Enable CMT and MBM on new Skylake stepping x86/apic/vector: Print APIC control bits in debugfs genirq/affinity: Defer affinity setting if irq chip is busy x86/platform/uv: Use apic_ack_irq() x86/ioapic: Use apic_ack_irq() irq_remapping: Use apic_ack_irq() x86/apic: Provide apic_ack_irq() genirq/migration: Avoid out of line call if pending is not set genirq/generic_pending: Do not lose pending affinity update x86/apic/vector: Prevent hlist corruption and leaks x86/vector: Fix the args of vector_alloc tracepoint x86/idt: Simplify the idt_setup_apic_and_irq_gates() x86/platform/uv: Remove extra parentheses x86/mm: Decouple dynamic __PHYSICAL_MASK from AMD SME x86: Mark native_set_p4d() as __always_inline x86/microcode: Make the late update update_lock a raw lock for RT x86/mtrr: Convert to use strncpy_from_user() helper x86/mtrr: Convert to use match_string() helper x86/vdso: Remove unused file x86/i8237: Register device based on FADT legacy boot flag |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
