Add a new configuration DM_VERITY_VERIFY_ROOTHASH_SIG_SECONDARY_KEYRING
to enable dm-verity signatures to be verified against the secondary
trusted keyring. Instead of relying on the builtin trusted keyring
(with hard-coded certificates), the second trusted keyring can include
certificate authorities from the builtin trusted keyring and child
certificates loaded at run time. Using the secondary trusted keyring
enables to use dm-verity disks (e.g. loop devices) signed by keys which
did not exist at kernel build time, leveraging the certificate chain of
trust model. In practice, this makes it possible to update certificates
without kernel update and reboot, aligning with module and kernel
(kexec) signature verification which already use the secondary trusted
keyring.

Add an early parameter that allows users to select the mode of operation
for KVM/arm64.
For now, the only supported value is "protected". By passing this flag
users opt into the hypervisor placing additional restrictions on the
host kernel. These allow the hypervisor to spawn guests whose state is
kept private from the host. Restrictions will include stage-2 address
translation to prevent host from accessing guest memory, filtering its
SMC calls, etc.
Without this parameter, the default behaviour remains selecting VHE/nVHE
based on hardware support and CONFIG_ARM64_VHE.

Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:
"Fixes for CVE-2020-4788.
From Daniel's cover letter:
IBM Power9 processors can speculatively operate on data in the L1
cache before it has been completely validated, via a way-prediction
mechanism. It is not possible for an attacker to determine the
contents of impermissible memory using this method, since these
systems implement a combination of hardware and software security
measures to prevent scenarios where protected data could be leaked.
However these measures don't address the scenario where an attacker
induces the operating system to speculatively execute instructions
using data that the attacker controls. This can be used for example to
speculatively bypass "kernel user access prevention" techniques, as
discovered by Anthony Steinhauser of Google's Safeside Project. This
is not an attack by itself, but there is a possibility it could be
used in conjunction with side-channels or other weaknesses in the
privileged code to construct an attack.
This issue can be mitigated by flushing the L1 cache between privilege
boundaries of concern.
This patch series flushes the L1 cache on kernel entry (patch 2) and
after the kernel performs any user accesses (patch 3). It also adds a
self-test and performs some related cleanups"

There are no known users of this driver as of October 2020, and it will
be removed unless someone turns out to still need it in future releases.
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WiMAX_networks, there
have been many public wimax networks, but it appears that many of these
have migrated to LTE or discontinued their service altogether.
As most PCs and phones lack WiMAX hardware support, the remaining
networks tend to use standalone routers. These almost certainly
run Linux, but not a modern kernel or the mainline wimax driver stack.
NetworkManager appears to have dropped userspace support in 2015
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747846, the
www.linuxwimax.org
site had already shut down earlier.
WiMax is apparently still being deployed on airport campus networks
("AeroMACS"), but in a frequency band that was not supported by the old
Intel 2400m (used in Sandy Bridge laptops and earlier), which is the
only driver using the kernel's wimax stack.
Move all files into drivers/staging/wimax, including the uapi header
files and documentation, to make it easier to remove it when it gets
to that. Only minimal changes are made to the source files, in order
to make it possible to port patches across the move.
Also remove the MAINTAINERS entry that refers to a broken mailing
list and website.

Pull more xen updates from Juergen Gross:
- A single patch to fix the Xen security issue XSA-331 (malicious
guests can DoS dom0 by triggering NULL-pointer dereferences or access
to stale data).
- A larger series to fix the Xen security issue XSA-332 (malicious
guests can DoS dom0 by sending events at high frequency leading to
dom0's vcpus being busy in IRQ handling for elongated times).

|

In case rogue guests are sending events at high frequency it might
happen that xen_evtchn_do_upcall() won't stop processing events in
dom0. As this is done in irq handling a crash might be the result.
In order to avoid that, delay further inter-domain events after some
time in xen_evtchn_do_upcall() by forcing eoi processing into a
worker on the same cpu, thus inhibiting new events coming in.
The time after which eoi processing is to be delayed is configurable
via a new module parameter "event_loop_timeout" which specifies the
maximum event loop time in jiffies (default: 2, the value was chosen
after some tests showing that a value of 2 was the lowest with an
only slight drop of dom0 network throughput while multiple guests
performed an event storm).
How long eoi processing will be delayed can be specified via another
parameter "event_eoi_delay" (again in jiffies, default 10, again the
value was chosen after testing with different delay values).
This is part of XSA-332.

Pull more xfs updates from Darrick Wong:
"The second large pile of new stuff for 5.10, with changes even more
monumental than last week!
We are formally announcing the deprecation of the V4 filesystem format
in 2030. All users must upgrade to the V5 format, which contains
design improvements that greatly strengthen metadata validation,
supports reflink and online fsck, and is the intended vehicle for
handling timestamps past 2038. We're also deprecating the old Irix
behavioral tweaks in September 2025.
Coming along for the ride are two design changes to the deferred
metadata ops subsystem. One of the improvements is to retain correct
logical ordering of tasks and subtasks, which is a more logical design
for upper layers of XFS and will become necessary when we add atomic
file range swaps and commits. The second improvement to deferred ops
improves the scalability of the log by helping the log tail to move
forward during long-running operations. This reduces log contention
when there are a large number of threads trying to run transactions.
In addition to that, this fixes numerous small bugs in log recovery;
refactors logical intent log item recovery to remove the last
remaining place in XFS where we could have nested transactions; fixes
a couple of ways that intent log item recovery could fail in ways that
wouldn't have happened in the regular commit paths; fixes a deadlock
vector in the GETFSMAP implementation (which improves its performance
by 20%); and fixes serious bugs in the realtime growfs, fallocate, and
bitmap handling code.
Summary:
- Deprecate the V4 filesystem format, some disused mount options, and
some legacy sysctl knobs now that we can support dates into the
25th century. Note that removal of V4 support will not happen until
the early 2030s.
- Fix some probles with inode realtime flag propagation.
- Fix some buffer handling issues when growing a rt filesystem.
- Fix a problem where a BMAP_REMAP unmap call would free rt extents
even though the purpose of BMAP_REMAP is to avoid freeing the
blocks.
- Strengthen the dabtree online scrubber to check hash values on
child dabtree blocks.
- Actually log new intent items created as part of recovering log
intent items.
- Fix a bug where quotas weren't attached to an inode undergoing bmap
intent item recovery.
- Fix a buffer overrun problem with specially crafted log buffer
headers.
- Various cleanups to type usage and slightly inaccurate comments.
- More cleanups to the xattr, log, and quota code.
- Don't run the (slower) shared-rmap operations on attr fork
mappings.
- Fix a bug where we failed to check the LSN of finobt blocks during
replay and could therefore overwrite newer data with older data.
- Clean up the ugly nested transaction mess that log recovery uses to
stage intent item recovery in the correct order by creating a
proper data structure to capture recovered chains.
- Use the capture structure to resume intent item chains with the
same log space and block reservations as when they were captured.
- Fix a UAF bug in bmap intent item recovery where we failed to
maintain our reference to the incore inode if the bmap operation
needed to relog itself to continue.
- Rearrange the defer ops mechanism to finish newly created subtasks
of a parent task before moving on to the next parent task.
- Automatically relog intent items in deferred ops chains if doing so
would help us avoid pinning the log tail. This will help fix some
log scaling problems now and will facilitate atomic file updates
later.
- Fix a deadlock in the GETFSMAP implementation by using an internal
memory buffer to reduce indirect calls and copies to userspace,
thereby improving its performance by ~20%.
- Fix various problems when calling growfs on a realtime volume would
not fully update the filesystem metadata.
- Fix broken Kconfig asking about deprecated XFS when XFS is
disabled"
