Merge tag 'drm-intel-fixes-2015-08-14' into drm-intel-next-fixes
Backmerge drm-intel-fixes because a bunch of atomic patch backporting we had to do lead to horrible conflicts. Conflicts: drivers/gpu/drm/drm_crtc.c Just a bit of context conflict between -next and -fixes. drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_atomic.c drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c Atomic conflicts, always pick the code from -next. Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@intel.com>

+ * Flush interAptiv's Return Prediction Stack (RPS) by writing
+ * EntryHi. Toggling Config7.RPS is slower and less portable.
+ *
+ * The RPS isn't automatically flushed when exceptions are
+ * taken, which can result in kernel mode speculative accesses
+ * to user addresses if the RPS mispredicts. That's harmless
+ * when user and kernel share the same address space, but with
+ * EVA the same user segments may be unmapped to kernel mode,
+ * even containing sensitive MMIO regions or invalid memory.
+ *
+ * This can happen when the kernel sets the return address to
+ * ret_from_* and jr's to the exception handler, which looks
+ * more like a tail call than a function call. If nested calls
+ * don't evict the last user address in the RPS, it will
+ * mispredict the return and fetch from a user controlled
+ * address into the icache.
+ *
+ * More recent EVA-capable cores with MAAR to restrict
+ * speculative accesses aren't affected.
