changed the way I/O ports were reserved and includes this comment in
log:Some BIOSes reserve disjoint I/O regions in their ACPI tables for the IPMI

(AMD Seattle). Where I see:ipmi message handler version 39.2

According to full-history-linux commit d3794f4fa7c3edc3 ("[PATCH] M68k
update (part 25)"), port operations are allowed on m68k if CONFIG_ISA is
defined.However, commit 153dcc54df826d2f ("[PATCH] mem driver: fix conditional
on isa i/o support") accidentally changed an "||" into an "&&",
disabling it completely on m68k. This logic was retained when
introducing the DEVPORT symbol in commit 4f911d64e04a44c4 ("Make
/dev/port conditional on config symbol").Drop the bogus dependency on !M68K to fix this.

The driver uses pm_runtime_put_noidle() after initialization so the
device might remain in active state if the core does not read from it
(the read callback contains regular runtime put). The put_noidle() was
chosen probably to avoid unneeded suspend and resume cycle after the
initialization.However for this purpose autosuspend is enabled so it is safe to runtime
put just after the initialization.Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Kozlowski

Pull x86 protection key support from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree adds support for a new memory protection hardware feature
that is available in upcoming Intel CPUs: 'protection keys' (pkeys).There's a background article at LWN.net:
https://lwn.net/Articles/643797/
The gist is that protection keys allow the encoding of
user-controllable permission masks in the pte. So instead of having a
fixed protection mask in the pte (which needs a system call to change
and works on a per page basis), the user can map a (handful of)
protection mask variants and can change the masks runtime relatively
cheaply, without having to change every single page in the affected
virtual memory range.This allows the dynamic switching of the protection bits of large
amounts of virtual memory, via user-space instructions. It also
allows more precise control of MMU permission bits: for example the
executable bit is separate from the read bit (see more about that
below).This tree adds the MM infrastructure and low level x86 glue needed for
that, plus it adds a high level API to make use of protection keys -
if a user-space application calls:mmap(..., PROT_EXEC);
or
mprotect(ptr, sz, PROT_EXEC);
(note PROT_EXEC-only, without PROT_READ/WRITE), the kernel will notice
this special case, and will set a special protection key on this
memory range. It also sets the appropriate bits in the Protection
Keys User Rights (PKRU) register so that the memory becomes unreadable
and unwritable.So using protection keys the kernel is able to implement 'true'
PROT_EXEC on x86 CPUs: without protection keys PROT_EXEC implies
PROT_READ as well. Unreadable executable mappings have security
advantages: they cannot be read via information leaks to figure out
ASLR details, nor can they be scanned for ROP gadgets - and they
cannot be used by exploits for data purposes either.We know about no user-space code that relies on pure PROT_EXEC
mappings today, but binary loaders could start making use of this new
feature to map binaries and libraries in a more secure fashion.There is other pending pkeys work that offers more high level system
call APIs to manage protection keys - but those are not part of this
pull request.Right now there's a Kconfig that controls this feature
(CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS) that is default enabled
(like most x86 CPU feature enablement code that has no runtime
overhead), but it's not user-configurable at the moment. If there's
any serious problem with this then we can make it configurable and/or
flip the default"* 'mm-pkeys-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (38 commits)

Extend the tryacpi module parameter to turn off acpi_ipmi_probe such
that hard-coded options (type, ports, address, etc.) have complete
control over the smi_info data structures setup by the driver.Signed-off-by: Joe Lawrence
Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard -
Under some circumstances, the IPMI state machine could return
a call without delay option but the driver would still do a long
delay because the result wasn't checked. Instead of calling
the state machine after transaction done, just go back to the
top of the processing to start over.Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard
-
Several were tryacpi instead of their actual values.
Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard

There was a mistake in the logic, if an alert came in very quickly
it would hang the driver.Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard
