85fbf15bc9 Merge branch 'x86-boot-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 boot updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes were:

   - Extend the boot protocol to allow future extensions without hitting
     the setup_header size limit.

   - Add quirk to devicetree systems to disable the RTC unless it's
     listed as a supported device.

   - Fix ld.lld linker pedantry"

* 'x86-boot-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  x86/boot: Introduce setup_indirect
  x86/boot: Introduce kernel_info.setup_type_max
  x86/boot: Introduce kernel_info
  x86/init: Allow DT configured systems to disable RTC at boot time
  x86/realmode: Explicitly set entry point via ENTRY in linker script

b3c72fc9a7 x86/boot: Introduce setup_indirect
The setup_data is a bit awkward to use for extremely large data objects,
both because the setup_data header has to be adjacent to the data object
and because it has a 32-bit length field. However, it is important that
intermediate stages of the boot process have a way to identify which
chunks of memory are occupied by kernel data. Thus introduce an uniform
way to specify such indirect data as setup_indirect struct and
SETUP_INDIRECT type.

And finally bump setup_header version in arch/x86/boot/header.S.

2c33c27fd6 x86/boot: Introduce kernel_info
The relationships between the headers are analogous to the various data
sections:

  setup_header = .data
  boot_params/setup_data = .bss

What is missing from the above list? That's right:

  kernel_info = .rodata

We have been (ab)using .data for things that could go into .rodata or .bss for
a long time, for lack of alternatives and -- especially early on -- inertia.
Also, the BIOS stub is responsible for creating boot_params, so it isn't
available to a BIOS-based loader (setup_data is, though).

setup_header is permanently limited to 144 bytes due to the reach of the
2-byte jump field, which doubles as a length field for the structure, combined
with the size of the "hole" in struct boot_params that a protected-mode loader
or the BIOS stub has to copy it into. It is currently 119 bytes long, which
leaves us with 25 very precious bytes. This isn't something that can be fixed
without revising the boot protocol entirely, breaking backwards compatibility.

boot_params proper is limited to 4096 bytes, but can be arbitrarily extended
by adding setup_data entries. It cannot be used to communicate properties of
the kernel image, because it is .bss and has no image-provided content.

kernel_info solves this by providing an extensible place for information about
the kernel image. It is readonly, because the kernel cannot rely on a
bootloader copying its contents anywhere, but that is OK; if it becomes
necessary it can still contain data items that an enabled bootloader would be
expected to copy into a setup_data chunk.

Do not bump setup_header version in arch/x86/boot/header.S because it
will be followed by additional changes coming into the Linux/x86 boot
protocol.

Pull x86 MDS mitigations from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Microarchitectural Data Sampling (MDS) is a hardware vulnerability
  which allows unprivileged speculative access to data which is
  available in various CPU internal buffers. This new set of misfeatures
  has the following CVEs assigned:

     CVE-2018-12126  MSBDS  Microarchitectural Store Buffer Data Sampling
     CVE-2018-12130  MFBDS  Microarchitectural Fill Buffer Data Sampling
     CVE-2018-12127  MLPDS  Microarchitectural Load Port Data Sampling
     CVE-2019-11091  MDSUM  Microarchitectural Data Sampling Uncacheable Memory

  MDS attacks target microarchitectural buffers which speculatively
  forward data under certain conditions. Disclosure gadgets can expose
  this data via cache side channels.

  Contrary to other speculation based vulnerabilities the MDS
  vulnerability does not allow the attacker to control the memory target
  address. As a consequence the attacks are purely sampling based, but
  as demonstrated with the TLBleed attack samples can be postprocessed
  successfully.

  The mitigation is to flush the microarchitectural buffers on return to
  user space and before entering a VM. It's bolted on the VERW
  instruction and requires a microcode update. As some of the attacks
  exploit data structures shared between hyperthreads, full protection
  requires to disable hyperthreading. The kernel does not do that by
  default to avoid breaking unattended updates.

  The mitigation set comes with documentation for administrators and a
  deeper technical view"

conversion of the x86 docs to RST, which has been in the works for some
 time but needed a couple of final tweaks.
