  • Split out helpers for all non-trivial ioctls to make this function simpler,
    and also start passing around a pointer version of the argument, as that's
    what most ioctl handlers actually need.

  • Compiling the nvme driver on 32-bit warns about a cast from a __u64
    variable to a pointer:

    drivers/block/nvme-core.c: In function 'nvme_submit_io':
    drivers/block/nvme-core.c:1847:4: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast]
    (void __user *)io.addr, length, NULL, 0);

    The cast here is intentional and safe, so we can shut up the
    gcc warning by adding an intermediate cast to 'uintptr_t'.

    I had previously submitted a patch to fix this problem in the
    nvme driver, but it was accepted on the same day that two new
    warnings got added.

    For clarification, I also change the third instance of this cast
    to use uintptr_t instead of unsigned long now.

  • The nvme driver was moved from drivers/block, losing our implicit

  • Pull strscpy string copy function implementation from Chris Metcalf.

    Chris sent this during the merge window, but I waffled back and forth on
    the pull request, which is why it's going in only now.

    The new "strscpy()" function is definitely easier to use and more secure
    than either strncpy() or strlcpy(), both of which are horrible nasty
    interfaces that have serious and irredeemable problems.

    strncpy() has a useless return value, and doesn't NUL-terminate an
    overlong result. To make matters worse, it pads a short result with
    zeroes, which is a performance disaster if you have big buffers.

    strlcpy(), by contrast, is a mis-designed "fix" for strlcpy(), lacking
    the insane NUL padding, but having a differently broken return value
    which returns the original length of the source string. Which means
    that it will read characters past the count from the source buffer, and
    you have to trust the source to be properly terminated. It also makes
    error handling fragile, since the test for overflow is unnecessarily
    subtle.

    strscpy() avoids both these problems, guaranteeing the NUL termination
    (but not excessive padding) if the destination size wasn't zero, and
    making the overflow condition very obvious by returning -E2BIG. It also
    doesn't read past the size of the source, and can thus be used for
    untrusted source data too.

    So why did I waffle about this for so long?

    Every time we introduce a new-and-improved interface, people start doing
    these interminable series of trivial conversion patches.

    And every time that happens, somebody does some silly mistake, and the
    conversion patch to the improved interface actually makes things worse.
    Because the patch is mindnumbing and trivial, nobody has the attention
    span to look at it carefully, and it's usually done over large swatches
    of source code which means that not every conversion gets tested.

    So I'm pulling the strscpy() support because it *is* a better interface.
    But I will refuse to pull mindless conversion patches. Use this in
    places where it makes sense, but don't do trivial patches to fix things
    that aren't actually known to be broken.

  • The MIPS syscall handler code used to return -ENOSYS on invalid
    syscalls. Whilst this is expected, it caused problems for seccomp
    filters because the said filters never had the change to run since
    the code returned -ENOSYS before triggering them. This caused
    problems on the chromium testsuite for filters looking for invalid
    syscalls. This has now changed and the seccomp filters are always
    run even if the syscall is invalid. We return -ENOSYS once we
    return from the seccomp filters. Moreover, similar codepaths have
    been merged in the process which simplifies somewhat the overall
    syscall code.

  • This patch fixes one cases where abs() was being used with 64-bit
    nanosecond values, where the result may be capped at 32-bits.

    This potentially could cause watchdog false negatives on 32-bit
    systems, so this patch addresses the issue by using abs64().

  • When configuring the interrupt mapping for a new device, we
    iterate over all the possible aliases to account for their
    maximum MSI allocation. This was introduced by e8137f4f5088
    ("irqchip: gicv3-its: Iterate over PCI aliases to generate ITS configuration").

    Turns out that the code doing that is a bit braindead, and repeatedly
    accounts for the same device over and over.

    Fix this by counting the actual alias that is passed to us by the
    core code.

  • During development it was found that a number of builds would panic
    during the kernel init process, more specifically in 'delayed_fput()'.
    The panic showed the kernel trying to access a memory address of
    '0xb7fdc00' while traversing the 'delayed_fput_list' structure.
    Comparing this memory address to the value of the pointer used on
    builds that did not panic confirmed that the pointer on crashing
    builds must have been corrupted at some stage earlier in the init
    process.

    By traversing the list earlier and earlier in the code it was found
    that 'plat_mem_setup()' was responsible for corrupting the list.
    Specifically the line:

    memory = cvmx_bootmem_phy_alloc(mem_alloc_size,
    __pa_symbol(&__init_end), -1,
    0x100000,
    CVMX_BOOTMEM_FLAG_NO_LOCKING);

    Which would eventually call:

    cvmx_bootmem_phy_set_size(new_ent_addr,
    cvmx_bootmem_phy_get_size
    (ent_addr) -
    (desired_min_addr -
    ent_addr));

    Where 'new_ent_addr'=0x4800000 (the address of 'delayed_fput_list')
    and the second argument (size)=0xb7fdc00 (the address causing the
    kernel panic). The job of this part of 'plat_mem_setup()' is to
    allocate chunks of memory for the kernel to use. At the start of
    each chunk of memory the size of the chunk is written, hence the
    value 0xb7fdc00 is written onto memory at 0x4800000, therefore the
    kernel panics when it goes back to access 'delayed_fput_list' later
    on in the initialisation process.

    On builds that were not crashing it was found that the compiler had
    placed 'delayed_fput_list' at 0x4800008, meaning it wasn't corrupted
    (but something else in memory was overwritten).

    As can be seen in the first function call above the code begins to
    allocate chunks of memory beginning from the symbol '__init_end'.
    The MIPS linker script (vmlinux.lds.S) however defines the .bss
    section to begin after '__init_end'. Therefore memory within the
    .bss section is allocated to the kernel to use (System.map shows
    'delayed_fput_list' and other kernel structures to be in .bss).

    To stop the kernel panic (and the .bss section being corrupted)
    memory should begin being allocated from the symbol '_end'.
