  • The processor cooling device is no longer present for passive thermal
    control.

    Commit 239708a3af44 ("ACPI: Split out ACPI PSS from ACPI Processor driver")
    moved the processing to a new function acpi_pss_perf_init(), but
    missed "return 0" after successful creation. This causes the error
    handling functions to be called, which will delete the previously
    created processor cooling device.

  • This fix alters the ordering of the IRQ and device registrations in the RTC
    driver probe function. This change will apply to the RTC driver that supports
    both DA9063 and DA9062 PMICs.

    A problem could occur with the existing RTC driver if:

    A system is started from a cold boot using the PMIC RTC IRQ to initiate a
    power on operation. For instance, if an RTC alarm is used to start a
    platform from power off.
    The existing driver IRQ is requested before the device has been properly
    registered.
    i.e.
    ret = devm_request_threaded_irq()
    comes before
    rtc->rtc_dev = devm_rtc_device_register();

    In this case, the interrupt can be called before the device has been
    registered and the handler can be called immediately. The IRQ handler
    da9063_alarm_event() contains the function call

    rtc_update_irq(rtc->rtc_dev, 1, RTC_IRQF | RTC_AF);

    which in turn tries to access the unavailable rtc->rtc_dev.

    The fix is to reorder the functions inside the RTC probe. The IRQ is
    requested after the RTC device resource has been registered so that
    get_irq_byname is the last thing to happen.

  • In A.D. 1582 Pope Gregory XIII found that the existing Julian calendar
    insufficiently represented reality, and changed the rules about
    calculating leap years to account for this. Similarly, in A.D. 2013
    Rockchip hardware engineers found that the new Gregorian calendar still
    contained flaws, and that the month of November should be counted up to
    31 days instead. Unfortunately it takes a long time for calendar changes
    to gain widespread adoption, and just like more than 300 years went by
    before the last Protestant nation implemented Greg's proposal, we will
    have to wait a while until all religions and operating system kernels
    acknowledge the inherent advantages of the Rockchip system. Until then
    we need to translate dates read from (and written to) Rockchip hardware
    back to the Gregorian format.

    This patch works by defining Jan 1st, 2016 as the arbitrary anchor date
    on which Rockchip and Gregorian calendars are in sync. From that we can
    translate arbitrary later dates back and forth by counting the number
    of November/December transitons since the anchor date to determine the
    offset between the calendars. We choose this method (rather than trying
    to regularly "correct" the date stored in hardware) since it's the only
    way to ensure perfect time-keeping even if the system may be shut down
    for an unknown number of years. The drawback is that other software
    reading the same hardware (e.g. mainboard firmware) must use the same
    translation convention (including the same anchor date) to be able to
    read and write correct timestamps from/to the RTC.

  • When we also are I2C slave, we need to disable runtime PM because the
    address detection mechanism needs to be active all the time. However, we
    can reenable runtime PM once the slave instance was unregistered. So,
    use pm_runtime_get_sync/put to achieve this, since it has proper
    refcounting. pm_runtime_allow/forbid is like a global knob controllable
    from userspace which is unsuitable here.

    - Fix a potential regression in the generic power domains framework

    spurious failures of system suspend in certain situations (Ulf
    Hansson).

    - Fix a problem in the power capping RAPL (Running Average Power
    Limits) driver that causes it to initialize successfully on some
    systems where it is not supposed to do that which is due to an
    incorrect check in an initialization routine (Prarit Bhargava).

    - Fix a build problem in the cpufreq Tegra driver that depends on the
    regulator framework, but that dependency is not reflected in
    Kconfig (Arnd Bergmann).

    - Fix a recent mistake in the intel_pstate driver where a numeric

  • Change the use of strncmp in zswap_pool_find_get() to strcmp.

    The use of strncmp is no longer correct, now that zswap_zpool_type is
    not an array; sizeof() will return the size of a pointer, which isn't
    the right length to compare. We don't need to use strncmp anyway,
    because the existing params and the passed in params are all guaranteed
    to be null terminated, so strcmp should be used.

  • Commit 8520f38099cc ("USB: change hub initialization sleeps to
    delayed_work") changed the hub_activate() routine to make part of it
    run in a workqueue. However, the commit failed to take a reference to
    the usb_hub structure or to lock the hub interface while doing so. As
    a result, if a hub is plugged in and quickly unplugged before the work
    routine can run, the routine will try to access memory that has been
    deallocated. Or, if the hub is unplugged while the routine is
    running, the memory may be deallocated while it is in active use.

    This patch fixes the problem by taking a reference to the usb_hub at
    the start of hub_activate() and releasing it at the end (when the work
    is finished), and by locking the hub interface while the work routine
    is running. It also adds a check at the start of the routine to see
    if the hub has already been disconnected, in which nothing should be
    done.

    with too strong signal or transmitting to bad antenna.
    Add module parameter 'enable_rf_gain_ctrl' which allows enabling
    RF gain control - otherwise, default without the module parameter,
    RF gain control is set to 'grabbed' state which prevents setting
    value to the control.

  • When allocating a pciback device fails, clear the private
    field. This could lead to an use-after free, however
    the 'really_probe' takes care of setting
    dev_set_drvdata(dev, NULL) in its failure path (which we would
    exercise if the ->probe function failed), so we we
    are OK. However lets be defensive as the code can change.

    Going forward we should clean up the pci_set_drvdata(dev, NULL)
    in the various code-base. That will be for another day.

  • If CONFIG_BITREVERSE is not built-in, the sht15 driver fails to link:

    drivers/built-in.o: In function `sht15_crc8':
    drivers/hwmon/sht15.c:195: undefined reference to `byte_rev_table'

    This adds a Kconfig 'select' statement, like all other users of
    bitrev.h have it.

  • commit f598282f51 ("PCI: Fix the NIU MSI-X problem in a better way")
    teaches us that dealing with MSI-X can be troublesome.

    Further checks in the MSI-X architecture shows that if the
    PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY bit is turned of in the PCI_COMMAND we
    may not be able to access the BAR (since they are memory regions).

    Since the MSI-X tables are located in there.. that can lead
    to us causing PCIe errors. Inhibit us performing any
    operation on the MSI-X unless the MEMORY bit is set.

    Note that Xen hypervisor with:
    "x86/MSI-X: access MSI-X table only after having enabled MSI-X"
    will return:
    xen_pciback: 0000:0a:00.1: error -6 enabling MSI-X for guest 3!

    When the generic MSI code tries to setup the PIRQ without
    MEMORY bit set. Which means with later versions of Xen
    (4.6) this patch is not neccessary.

    This is part of XSA-157
