      x86/Kconfig: Do not enable AMD_MEM_ENCRYPT_ACTIVE_BY_DEFAULT automatically · 71188590
      Borislav Petkov authored
      This Kconfig option was added initially so that memory encryption is
      enabled by default on machines which support it.
      
      However, devices which have DMA masks that are less than the bit
      position of the encryption bit, aka C-bit, require the use of an IOMMU
      or the use of SWIOTLB.
      
      If the IOMMU is disabled or in passthrough mode, the kernel would switch
      to SWIOTLB bounce-buffering for those transfers.
      
      In order to avoid that,
      
        2cc13bb4 ("iommu: Disable passthrough mode when SME is active")
      
      disables the default IOMMU passthrough mode so that devices for which the
      default 256K DMA is insufficient, can use the IOMMU instead.
      
      However 2, there are cases where the IOMMU is disabled in the BIOS, etc.
      (think the usual hardware folk "oops, I dropped the ball there" cases) or a
      driver doesn't properly use the DMA APIs or a device has a firmware or
      hardware bug, e.g.:
      
        ea68573d ("drm/amdgpu: Fail to load on RAVEN if SME is active")
      
      However 3, in the above GPU use case, there are APIs like Vulkan and
      some OpenGL/OpenCL extensions which are under the assumption that
      user-allocated memory can be passed in to the kernel driver and both the
      GPU and CPU can do coherent and concurrent access to the same memory.
      That cannot work with SWIOTLB bounce buffers, of course.
      
      So, in order for those devices to function, drop the "default y" for the
      SME by default active option so that users who want to have SME enabled,
      will need to either enable it in their config or use "mem_encrypt=on" on
      the kernel command line.

      Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:
       "A bit of a big batch, partly because I didn't send any last week, and
        also just because the BPF fixes happened to land this week.
      
        Summary:
      
         - Fix a regression hit by the IPR SCSI driver, introduced by the
           recent addition of MSI domains on pseries.
      
         - A big series including 8 BPF fixes, some with potential security
           impact and the rest various code generation issues.
      
         - Fix our program check assembler entry path, which was accidentally
           jumping into a gas macro and generating strange stack frames, which
           could confuse find_bug().
      
         - A couple of fixes, and related changes, to fix corner cases in our
           machine check handling.
      
         - Fix our DMA IOMMU ops, which were not always returning the optimal
           DMA mask, leading to at least one device falling back to 32-bit DMA
           when it shouldn't.
      
         - A fix for KUAP handling on 32-bit Book3S.
      
         - Fix crashes seen when kdumping on some pseries systems.
