ASoC: Updates for v5.4

Quite a big update this time around, particularly in the core
where we've had a lot of cleanups from Morimoto-san - there's
not much functional change but quite a bit of modernization
going on. We've also seen a lot of driver work, a lot of it
cleanups but also some particular drivers.

- Lots and lots of cleanups from Morimoto-san and Yue Haibing.
- Lots of cleanups and enhancements to the Freescale, sunxi dnd
Intel rivers.
- Initial Sound Open Firmware suppot for i.MX8.
- Removal of w90x900 and nuc900 drivers as the platforms are
being removed.
- New support for Cirrus Logic CS47L15 and CS47L92, Freescale
i.MX 7ULP and 8MQ, Meson G12A and NXP UDA1334

- Add an option to take an AUX snapshot on exit.

Tan Xiaojun:

- Support aarch64 random socket_id assignment, just like was fixed for S/390.

perf session:

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

- Avoid infinite loop when seeing invalid header.size, reported by
Vince Weaver using a perf.data fuzzer.

Documentation:

Vince Weaver:

- Clarify HEADER_SAMPLE_TOPOLOGY format in the perf.data spec.

perf config:

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

- Honour $PERF_CONFIG env var to specify alternate .perfconfig.

perf test:

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:

- Disable ~/.perfconfig to get default output in 'perf trace' tests.

perf top:

similar to 'perf report' when using event groups, i.e.

perf top -e '{cycles,instructions}'

Will have two columns, and the instructions one will work.

core:

Igor Lubashev:

- Detect if libcap development files are available so that we
can use capabilities to match the checks made by the kernel instead
of using plain (geteuid() == 0).

Haiyan Song:

- Add Icelake V1.00 event file.

perf trace:

Leo Yan:

- Fix segmentation fault when access syscall info on arm64.

Merge branch 'x86/grand-schemozzle' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull pti updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The performance deterioration departement is not proud at all to
present yet another set of speculation fences to mitigate the next
chapter in the 'what could possibly go wrong' story.

The new vulnerability belongs to the Spectre class and affects GS
based data accesses and has therefore been dubbed 'Grand Schemozzle'
for secret communication purposes. It's officially listed as
CVE-2019-1125.

Conditional branches in the entry paths which contain a SWAPGS
instruction (interrupts and exceptions) can be mis-speculated which
results in speculative accesses with a wrong GS base.

This can happen on entry from user mode through a mis-speculated
branch which takes the entry from kernel mode path and therefore does
not execute the SWAPGS instruction. The following speculative accesses
are done with user GS base.

On entry from kernel mode the mis-speculated branch executes the
SWAPGS instruction in the entry from user mode path which has the same
effect that the following GS based accesses are done with user GS
base.

If there is a disclosure gadget available in these code paths the
mis-speculated data access can be leaked through the usual side
channels.

The entry from user mode issue affects all CPUs which have speculative
execution. The entry from kernel mode issue affects only Intel CPUs
which can speculate through SWAPGS. On CPUs from other vendors SWAPGS
has semantics which prevent that.

SMAP migitates both problems but only when the CPU is not affected by
the Meltdown vulnerability.

The mitigation is to issue LFENCE instructions in the entry from
kernel mode path for all affected CPUs and on the affected Intel CPUs
also in the entry from user mode path unless PTI is enabled because
the CR3 write is serializing.

The fences are as usual enabled conditionally and can be completely
disabled on the kernel command line. The Spectre V1 documentation is
updated accordingly.

A big "Thank You!" goes to Josh for doing the heavy lifting for this
round of hardware misfeature 'repair'. Of course also "Thank You!" to
everybody else who contributed in one way or the other"
