Pull s390 updates from Heiko Carstens:
"The main thing in this merge is the defense for the Spectre
vulnerabilities. But there are other updates as well, the changes in
more detail:
- An s390 specific implementation of the array_index_mask_nospec
function to the defense against spectre v1
- Two patches to utilize the new PPA-12/PPA-13 instructions to run
the kernel and/or user space with reduced branch predicton.
- The s390 variant of the 'retpoline' spectre v2 defense called
'expoline'. There is no return instruction for s390, instead an
indirect branch is used for function return
The s390 defense mechanism for indirect branches works by using an
execute-type instruction with the indirect branch as the target of
the execute. In effect that turns off the prediction for the
indirect branch.
- Scrub registers in entry.S that contain user controlled values to
prevent the speculative use of these values.
- Re-add the second parameter for the s390 specific runtime
instrumentation system call and move the header file to uapi. The
second parameter will continue to do nothing but older kernel
versions only accepted valid real-time signal numbers. The details
will be documented in the man-page for the system call.
- Corrections and improvements for the s390 specific documentation
- Add a line to /proc/sysinfo to display the CPU model dependent
license-internal-code identifier
- A header file include fix for eadm.
- An error message fix in the kprobes code.
- The removal of an outdated ARCH_xxx select statement"
