  • Previously, pci_scan_root_bus() created a root PCI bus, enumerated the
    devices on it, and called pci_bus_add_devices(), which made the devices
    available for drivers to claim them.

    Most callers assigned resources to devices after pci_scan_root_bus()
    returns, which may be after drivers have claimed the devices. This is
    incorrect; the PCI core should not change device resources while a driver
    is managing the device.

    Remove pci_bus_add_devices() from pci_scan_root_bus() and do it after any
    resource assignment in the callers.

    Note that ARM's pci_common_init_dev() already called pci_bus_add_devices()
    after pci_scan_root_bus(), so we only need to remove the first call:

    pci_common_init_dev
    pcibios_init_hw
    pci_scan_root_bus
    pci_bus_add_devices # first call
    pci_bus_assign_resources
    pci_bus_add_devices # second call

    [bhelgaas: changelog, drop "root_bus" var in alpha common_init_pci(),
    return failure earlier in mn10300, add "return" in x86 pcibios_scan_root(),
    return early if xtensa platform_pcibios_fixup() fails]

    And open-coding it like drivers/scsi/hpsa.c is just weird.

  • If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
    the restart block is a very juicy exploit target. This is because the
    restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.

    Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
    making the restart_block harder to locate.

    Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
    targets, at least on some architectures.

    It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
    identical on all architectures.

  • LKP has triggered a compiler warning after my recent patch "mm: account
    pmd page tables to the process":

    mm/mmap.c: In function 'exit_mmap':
    >> mm/mmap.c:2857:2: warning: right shift count >= width of type [enabled by default]

    The code:

    > 2857 WARN_ON(mm_nr_pmds(mm) >
    2858 round_up(FIRST_USER_ADDRESS, PUD_SIZE) >> PUD_SHIFT);

    In this, on tile, we have FIRST_USER_ADDRESS defined as 0. round_up() has
    the same type -- int. PUD_SHIFT.

    I think the best way to fix it is to define FIRST_USER_ADDRESS as unsigned
    long. On every arch for consistency.

  • Currently we have many duplicates in definitions around
    follow_huge_addr(), follow_huge_pmd(), and follow_huge_pud(), so this
    patch tries to remove the m. The basic idea is to put the default
    implementation for these functions in mm/hugetlb.c as weak symbols
    (regardless of CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_GENERAL_HUGETL B), and to implement
    arch-specific code only when the arch needs it.

    For follow_huge_addr(), only powerpc and ia64 have their own
    implementation, and in all other architectures this function just returns
    ERR_PTR(-EINVAL). So this patch sets returning ERR_PTR(-EINVAL) as
    default.

    As for follow_huge_(pmd|pud)(), if (pmd|pud)_huge() is implemented to
    always return 0 in your architecture (like in ia64 or sparc,) it's never
    called (the callsite is optimized away) no matter how implemented it is.
    So in such architectures, we don't need arch-specific implementation.

    In some architecture (like mips, s390 and tile,) their current
    arch-specific follow_huge_(pmd|pud)() are effectively identical with the
    common code, so this patch lets these architecture use the common code.

    One exception is metag, where pmd_huge() could return non-zero but it
    expects follow_huge_pmd() to always return NULL. This means that we need
    arch-specific implementation which returns NULL. This behavior looks
    strange to me (because non-zero pmd_huge() implies that the architecture
    supports PMD-based hugepage, so follow_huge_pmd() can/should return some
    relevant value,) but that's beyond this cleanup patch, so let's keep it.

    Justification of non-trivial changes:
    - in s390, follow_huge_pmd() checks !MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE at first, and this
    patch removes the check. This is OK because we can assume MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE
    is true when follow_huge_pmd() can be called (note that pmd_huge() has
    the same check and always returns 0 for !MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE.)
    - in s390 and mips, we use HPAGE_MASK instead of PMD_MASK as done in common
    code. This patch forces these archs use PMD_MASK, but it's OK because
    they are identical in both archs.
    In s390, both of HPAGE_SHIFT and PMD_SHIFT are 20.
    In mips, HPAGE_SHIFT is defined as (PAGE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT - 3) and
    PMD_SHIFT is define as (PAGE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT + PTE_ORDER - 3), but
    PTE_ORDER is always 0, so these are identical.

    That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault
    handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do
    retries etc" - but it generally works. However, there are cases where
    the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV.

    In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a
    SIGSEGV. And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by
    that duplicated architecture fault handler.

    However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return
    from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error
    from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the
    existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space. And user space really
    expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS.

    To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those
    duplicate architecture fault handlers about it. They all already have
    the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return
    value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying.

    This is the mindless minimal patch to do this. A more extensive patch
    would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into
    one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that
    cleanup.

    Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just
    copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in
    the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM
    semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other
    "newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those
    improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about
    them too.

  • virtio wants to write bitwise types to userspace using put_user.
    At the moment this triggers sparse errors, since the value is passed
    through an integer.

    For example:

    __le32 __user *p;
    __le32 x;
    put_user(x, p);

    is safe, but currently triggers a sparse warning.

    Fix that up using __force.

    Note: this does not suppress any useful sparse checks since caller
    assigns x to typeof(*p), which in turn forces all the necessary type
    checks.

  • Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
    "This time we have some more new material than we used to have during
    the last couple of development cycles.

    The most important part of it to me is the introduction of a unified
    interface for accessing device properties provided by platform
    firmware. It works with Device Trees and ACPI in a uniform way and
    drivers using it need not worry about where the properties come from
    as long as the platform firmware (either DT or ACPI) makes them
    available. It covers both devices and "bare" device node objects
    without struct device representation as that turns out to be necessary
    in some cases. This has been in the works for quite a few months (and
    development cycles) and has been approved by all of the relevant
    maintainers.

    On top of that, some drivers are switched over to the new interface
    (at25, leds-gpio, gpio_keys_polled) and some additional changes are
    made to the core GPIO subsystem to allow device drivers to manipulate
    GPIOs in the "canonical" way on platforms that provide GPIO
    information in their ACPI tables, but don't assign names to GPIO lines
    (in which case the driver needs to do that on the basis of what it
    knows about the device in question). That also has been approved by
    the GPIO core maintainers and the rfkill driver is now going to use
    it.

    Second is support for hardware P-states in the intel_pstate driver.
    It uses CPUID to detect whether or not the feature is supported by the
    processor in which case it will be enabled by default. However, it
    can be disabled entirely from the kernel command line if necessary.

    Next is support for a platform firmware interface based on ACPI
    operation regions used by the PMIC (Power Management Integrated
    Circuit) chips on the Intel Baytrail-T and Baytrail-T-CR platforms.
    That interface is used for manipulating power resources and for
    thermal management: sensor temperature reporting, trip point setting
    and so on.

    Also the ACPI core is now going to support the _DEP configuration
    information in a limited way. Basically, _DEP it supposed to reflect
    off-the-hierarchy dependencies between devices which may be very
    indirect, like when AML for one device accesses locations in an
    operation region handled by another device's driver (usually, the
    device depended on this way is a serial bus or GPIO controller). The
    support added this time is sufficient to make the ACPI battery driver
    work on Asus T100A, but it is general enough to be able to cover some
    other use cases in the future.

    Finally, we have a new cpufreq driver for the Loongson1B processor.

    In addition to the above, there are fixes and cleanups all over the
    place as usual and a traditional ACPICA update to a recent upstream
    release.

    As far as the fixes go, the ACPI LPSS (Low-power Subsystem) driver for
    Intel platforms should be able to handle power management of the DMA
    engine correctly, the cpufreq-dt driver should interact with the
    thermal subsystem in a better way and the ACPI backlight driver should
    handle some more corner cases, among other things.

    On top of the ACPICA update there are fixes for race conditions in the
    ACPICA's interrupt handling code which might lead to some random and
    strange looking failures on some systems.

    In the cleanups department the most visible part is the series of
    commits targeted at getting rid of the CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME configuration
    option. That was triggered by a discussion regarding the generic
    power domains code during which we realized that trying to support
    certain combinations of PM config options was painful and not really
    worth it, because nobody would use them in production anyway. For
    this reason, we decided to make CONFIG_PM_SLEEP select
    CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME and that lead to the conclusion that the latter
    became redundant and CONFIG_PM could be used instead of it. The
    material here makes that replacement in a major part of the tree, but
    there will be at least one more batch of that in the second part of
    the merge window.

    Specifics:

    - Support for retrieving device properties information from ACPI _DSD
    device configuration objects and a unified device properties
    interface for device drivers (and subsystems) on top of that. As
    stated above, this works with Device Trees and ACPI and allows
    device drivers to be written in a platform firmware (DT or ACPI)
    agnostic way. The at25, leds-gpio and gpio_keys_polled drivers are
    now going to use this new interface and the GPIO subsystem is
    additionally modified to allow device drivers to assign names to
    GPIO resources returned by ACPI _CRS objects (in case _DSD is not
    present or does not provide the expected data). The changes in
    this set are mostly from Mika Westerberg, Rafael J Wysocki, Aaron
    Lu, and Darren Hart with some fixes from others (Fabio Estevam,
    Geert Uytterhoeven).

    - Support for Hardware Managed Performance States (HWP) as described
    in Volume 3, section 14.4, of the Intel SDM in the intel_pstate
    driver. CPUID is used to detect whether or not the feature is
    supported by the processor. If supported, it will be enabled
    automatically unless the intel_pstate=no_hwp switch is present in
    the kernel command line. From Dirk Brandewie.

    - New Intel Broadwell-H ID for intel_pstate (Dirk Brandewie).

    - Support for firmware interface based on ACPI operation regions used
    by the PMIC chips on the Intel Baytrail-T and Baytrail-T-CR
    platforms for power resource control and thermal management (Aaron
    Lu).

    - Limited support for retrieving off-the-hierarchy dependencies
    between devices from ACPI _DEP device configuration objects and
    deferred probing support for the ACPI battery driver based on the
    _DEP information to make that driver work on Asus T100A (Lan
    Tianyu).

    - New cpufreq driver for the Loongson1B processor (Kelvin Cheung).

    - ACPICA update to upstream revision 20141107 which only affects
    tools (Bob Moore).

    - Fixes for race conditions in the ACPICA's interrupt handling code
    and in the ACPI code related to system suspend and resume (Lv Zheng
    and Rafael J Wysocki).

    - ACPI core fix for an RCU-related issue in the ioremap() regions
    management code that slowed down significantly after CPUs had been
    allowed to enter idle states even if they'd had RCU callbakcs
    queued and triggered some problems in certain proprietary graphics
    driver (and elsewhere). The fix replaces synchronize_rcu() in that
    code with synchronize_rcu_expedited() which makes the issue go
    away. From Konstantin Khlebnikov.

    - ACPI LPSS (Low-Power Subsystem) driver fix to handle power
    management of the DMA engine included into the LPSS correctly. The
    problem is that the DMA engine doesn't have ACPI PM support of its
    own and it simply is turned off when the last LPSS device having
    ACPI PM support goes into D3cold. To work around that, the PM
    domain used by the ACPI LPSS driver is redesigned so at least one
    device with ACPI PM support will be on as long as the DMA engine is
    in use. From Andy Shevchenko.

    - ACPI backlight driver fix to avoid using it on "Win8-compatible"
    systems where it doesn't work and where it was used by default by
    mistake (Aaron Lu).

    - Assorted minor ACPI core fixes and cleanups from Tomasz Nowicki,
    Sudeep Holla, Huang Rui, Hanjun Guo, Fabian Frederick, and Ashwin
    Chaugule (mostly related to the upcoming ARM64 support).

    - Intel RAPL (Running Average Power Limit) power capping driver fixes
    and improvements including new processor IDs (Jacob Pan).

    - Generic power domains modification to power up domains after
    attaching devices to them to meet the expectations of device
    drivers and bus types assuming devices to be accessible at probe
    time (Ulf Hansson).

    - Preliminary support for controlling device clocks from the generic
    power domains core code and modifications of the ARM/shmobile
    platform to use that feature (Ulf Hansson).

    - Assorted minor fixes and cleanups of the generic power domains core
    code (Ulf Hansson, Geert Uytterhoeven).

    - Assorted minor fixes and cleanups of the device clocks control code
    in the PM core (Geert Uytterhoeven, Grygorii Strashko).

    - Consolidation of device power management Kconfig options by making
    CONFIG_PM_SLEEP select CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME and removing the latter
    which is now redundant (Rafael J Wysocki and Kevin Hilman). That
    is the first batch of the changes needed for this purpose.

    - Core device runtime power management support code cleanup related
    to the execution of callbacks (Andrzej Hajda).

    - cpuidle ARM support improvements (Lorenzo Pieralisi).

    - cpuidle cleanup related to the CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_VALID flag and a
    new MAINTAINERS entry for ARM Exynos cpuidle (Daniel Lezcano and
    Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz).

    - New cpufreq driver callback (->ready) to be executed when the
    cpufreq core is ready to use a given policy object and cpufreq-dt
    driver modification to use that callback for cooling device
    registration (Viresh Kumar).

    - cpufreq core fixes and cleanups (Viresh Kumar, Vince Hsu, James
    Geboski, Tomeu Vizoso).

    - Assorted fixes and cleanups in the cpufreq-pcc, intel_pstate,
    cpufreq-dt, pxa2xx cpufreq drivers (Lenny Szubowicz, Ethan Zhao,
    Stefan Wahren, Petr Cvek).

    - OPP (Operating Performance Points) framework modification to allow
    OPPs to be removed too and update of a few cpufreq drivers
    (cpufreq-dt, exynos5440, imx6q, cpufreq) to remove OPPs (added
    during initialization) on driver removal (Viresh Kumar).

    - Hibernation core fixes and cleanups (Tina Ruchandani and Markus
    Elfring).

    - PM Kconfig fix related to CPU power management (Pankaj Dubey).

    - cpupower tool fix (Prarit Bhargava)"

  • It is not valid to select CONFIG_PM directly without selecting
    CONFIG_PM_SLEEP or CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME too, because that breaks
    dependencies (ia64 does that) and it is not necessary to select
    CONFIG_PM directly if CONFIG_PM_SLEEP or CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME is
    selected, because CONFIG_PM will be set automatically in that

  • In order to have subsytem agnostic media bus format definitions we've
    moved media bus definition to include/uapi/linux/media-bus-format.h and
    prefixed values with MEDIA_BUS_FMT instead of V4L2_MBUS_FMT.

    Reference new definitions in all platform drivers.

  • The only place where the time is invalid is when the ACPI_CSTATE_FFH entry
    method is not set. Otherwise for all the drivers, the time can be correctly
    measured.

    Instead of duplicating the CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_VALID flag in all the drivers
    for all the states, just invert the logic by replacing it by the flag
    CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIME_INVALID, hence we can set this flag only for the acpi idle
    driver, remove the former flag from all the drivers and invert the logic with
    this flag in the different governor.
