[PATCH] KVM: VMX: fixes for vmentry_l1d_flush module parameter

by Paolo Bonzini

Two bug fixes: 1) missing entries in the l1d_param array; this can cause a host crash if an access attempts to reach the missing entry. Future-proof the get function against any overflows as well. However, the two entries VMENTER_L1D_FLUSH_EPT_DISABLED and VMENTER_L1D_FLUSH_NOT_REQUIRED must not be accepted by the parse function, so disable them there. 2) invalid values must be rejected even if the CPU does not have the bug, so test for them before checking boot_cpu_has(X86_BUG_L1TF) ... and a small refactoring, since the .cmd field is redundant with the index in the array.

[PATCH 3/9] drm/msm: fix OF child-node lookup

by Johan Hovold

Use the new of_get_compatible_child() helper to lookup the legacy pwrlevels child node instead of using of_find_compatible_node(), which searches the entire tree and thus can return an unrelated (i.e. non-child) node. This also addresses a potential use-after-free (e.g. after probe deferral) as the tree-wide helper drops a reference to its first argument (i.e. the probed device's node). While at it, also fix the related child-node reference leak.

The spinlock defines have a number of unnecessary barriers. The __ldcw() define is both a hardware and compiler barrier. The mb() barriers in the routines using __ldcw() serve no purpose. The only barrier needed is the one in arch_spin_unlock(). We need to ensure all accesses are complete prior to releasing the lock.
