      spi: Fix documentation of spi_alloc_master() · 69e68605
      Guenter Roeck authored 
      commit a394d635 upstream.

Actually, spi_master_put() after spi_alloc_master() must _not_ be followed
by kfree(). The memory is already freed with the call to spi_master_put()
through spi_master_class, which registers a release function. Calling both
spi_master_put() and kfree() results in often nasty (and delayed) crashes
elsewhere in the kernel, often in the networking stack.

This reverts commit eb4af0f5.

or

Alexey Klimov: This revert becomes valid after
94c69f76 when spi-imx.c
has been fixed and there is no need to call kfree() so comment
for spi_alloc_master() should be fixed.

      x86/xen: Support kexec/kdump in HVM guests by doing a soft reset · 919845cb
      Vitaly Kuznetsov authored 
      commit 0b34a166 upstream.

Currently there is a number of issues preventing PVHVM Xen guests from
doing successful kexec/kdump:

  - Bound event channels.
  - Registered vcpu_info.
  - PIRQ/emuirq mappings.
  - shared_info frame after XENMAPSPACE_shared_info operation.
  - Active grant mappings.

Basically, newly booted kernel stumbles upon already set up Xen
interfaces and there is no way to reestablish them. In Xen-4.7 a new
feature called 'soft reset' is coming. A guest performing kexec/kdump
operation is supposed to call SCHEDOP_shutdown hypercall with
SHUTDOWN_soft_reset reason before jumping to new kernel. Hypervisor
(with some help from toolstack) will do full domain cleanup (but
keeping its memory and vCPU contexts intact) returning the guest to
the state it had when it was first booted and thus allowing it to
start over.

Doing SHUTDOWN_soft_reset on Xen hypervisors which don't support it is
probably OK as by default all unknown shutdown reasons cause domain
destroy with a message in toolstack log: 'Unknown shutdown reason code
5. Destroying domain.'  which gives a clue to what the problem is and
eliminates false expectations.

      x86/mm: Set NX on gap between __ex_table and rodata · 4f9d5359
      Stephen Smalley authored 
      commit ab76f7b4 upstream.

Unused space between the end of __ex_table and the start of
rodata can be left W+x in the kernel page tables.  Extend the
setting of the NX bit to cover this gap by starting from
text_end rather than rodata_start.

      Use WARN_ON_ONCE for missing X86_FEATURE_NRIPS · fb7eff9c
      Dirk Müller authored 
      commit d2922422 upstream.

The cpu feature flags are not ever going to change, so warning
everytime can cause a lot of kernel log spam
(in our case more than 10GB/hour).

The warning seems to only occur when nested virtualization is
enabled, so it's probably triggered by a KVM bug.  This is a
sensible and safe change anyway, and the KVM bug fix might not
be suitable for stable releases anyway.

      x86/platform: Fix Geode LX timekeeping in the generic x86 build · 9870892f
      David Woodhouse authored 
      commit 03da3ff1 upstream.

In 2007, commit 07190a08 ("Mark TSC on GeodeLX reliable")
bypassed verification of the TSC on Geode LX. However, this code
(now in the check_system_tsc_reliable() function in
arch/x86/kernel/tsc.c) was only present if CONFIG_MGEODE_LX was
set.

OpenWRT has recently started building its generic Geode target
for Geode GX, not LX, to include support for additional
platforms. This broke the timekeeping on LX-based devices,
because the TSC wasn't marked as reliable:
https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/20531

By adding a runtime check on is_geode_lx(), we can also include
the fix if CONFIG_MGEODEGX1 or CONFIG_X86_GENERIC are set, thus
fixing the problem.

      x86/apic: Serialize LVTT and TSC_DEADLINE writes · ffebdff7
      Shaohua Li authored 
      commit 5d7c631d upstream.

The APIC LVTT register is MMIO mapped but the TSC_DEADLINE register is an
MSR. The write to the TSC_DEADLINE MSR is not serializing, so it's not
guaranteed that the write to LVTT has reached the APIC before the
TSC_DEADLINE MSR is written. In such a case the write to the MSR is
ignored and as a consequence the local timer interrupt never fires.

The SDM decribes this issue for xAPIC and x2APIC modes. The
serialization methods recommended by the SDM differ.

xAPIC:
 "1. Memory-mapped write to LVT Timer Register, setting bits 18:17 to 10b.
  2. WRMSR to the IA32_TSC_DEADLINE MSR a value much larger than current time-stamp counter.
  3. If RDMSR of the IA32_TSC_DEADLINE MSR returns zero, go to step 2.
  4. WRMSR to the IA32_TSC_DEADLINE MSR the desired deadline."

x2APIC:
 "To allow for efficient access to the APIC registers in x2APIC mode,
  the serializing semantics of WRMSR are relaxed when writing to the
  APIC registers. Thus, system software should not use 'WRMSR to APIC
  registers in x2APIC mode' as a serializing instruction. Read and write
  accesses to the APIC registers will occur in program order. A WRMSR to
  an APIC register may complete before all preceding stores are globally
  visible; software can prevent this by inserting a serializing
  instruction, an SFENCE, or an MFENCE before the WRMSR."

The xAPIC method is to just wait for the memory mapped write to hit
the LVTT by checking whether the MSR write has reached the hardware.
There is no reason why a proper MFENCE after the memory mapped write would
not do the same. Andi Kleen confirmed that MFENCE is sufficient for the
xAPIC case as well.

Issue MFENCE before writing to the TSC_DEADLINE MSR. This can be done
unconditionally as all CPUs which have TSC_DEADLINE also have MFENCE
support.

      windfarm: decrement client count when unregistering · a5c58721

wf_unregister_client() increments the client count when a client
unregisters. That is obviously incorrect. Decrement that client count
instead.

      ARM: 8429/1: disable GCC SRA optimization · a1800639
      Ard Biesheuvel authored 
      commit a077224f upstream.

While working on the 32-bit ARM port of UEFI, I noticed a strange
corruption in the kernel log. The following snprintf() statement
(in drivers/firmware/efi/efi.c:efi_md_typeattr_format())

	snprintf(pos, size, "|%3s|%2s|%2s|%2s|%3s|%2s|%2s|%2s|%2s]",

was producing the following output in the log:

	|    |   |   |   |    |WB|WT|WC|UC]
	|    |   |   |   |    |WB|WT|WC|UC]
	|    |   |   |   |    |WB|WT|WC|UC]
	|RUN|   |   |   |    |WB|WT|WC|UC]*
	|RUN|   |   |   |    |WB|WT|WC|UC]*
	|    |   |   |   |    |WB|WT|WC|UC]
	|RUN|   |   |   |    |WB|WT|WC|UC]*
	|    |   |   |   |    |WB|WT|WC|UC]
	|RUN|   |   |   |    |   |   |   |UC]
	|RUN|   |   |   |    |   |   |   |UC]

As it turns out, this is caused by incorrect code being emitted for
the string() function in lib/vsprintf.c. The following code

	if (!(spec.flags & LEFT)) {
		while (len < spec.field_width--) {
			if (buf < end)
				*buf = ' ';
			++buf;
		}
	}
	for (i = 0; i < len; ++i) {
		if (buf < end)
			*buf = *s;
		++buf; ++s;
	}
	while (len < spec.field_width--) {
		if (buf < end)
			*buf = ' ';
		++buf;
	}

when called with len == 0, triggers an issue in the GCC SRA optimization
pass (Scalar Replacement of Aggregates), which handles promotion of signed
struct members incorrectly. This is a known but as yet unresolved issue.
(https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65932). In this particular
case, it is causing the second while loop to be executed erroneously a
single time, causing the additional space characters to be printed.

So disable the optimization by passing -fno-ipa-sra.

      perf header: Fixup reading of HEADER_NRCPUS feature · b200a84e
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored 
      commit caa47047 upstream.

The original patch introducing this header wrote the number of CPUs available
and online in one order and then swapped those values when reading, fix it.

Before:

  # perf record usleep 1
  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 4
  # nrcpus avail : 4
  # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
  # perf record usleep 1
  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 4
  # nrcpus avail : 3
  # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
  # perf record usleep 1
  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 4
  # nrcpus avail : 2

After the fix, bringing back the CPUs online:

  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 2
  # nrcpus avail : 4
  # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
  # perf record usleep 1
  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 3
  # nrcpus avail : 4
  # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
  # perf record usleep 1
  # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)'
  # nrcpus online : 4
  # nrcpus avail : 4

      scsi: fix scsi_error_handler vs. scsi_host_dev_release race · 4f402ee5
      Michal Hocko authored 
      commit 537b604c upstream.

b9d5c6b7 ("[SCSI] cleanup setting task state in
scsi_error_handler()") has introduced a race between scsi_error_handler
and scsi_host_dev_release resulting in the hang when the device goes
away because scsi_error_handler might miss a wake up:

CPU0					CPU1
scsi_error_handler			scsi_host_dev_release
  					  kthread_stop()
  kthread_should_stop()
    test_bit(KTHREAD_SHOULD_STOP)
					    set_bit(KTHREAD_SHOULD_STOP)
					    wake_up_process()
					    wait_for_completion()

  set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE)
  schedule()

The most straightforward solution seems to be to invert the ordering of
the set_current_state and kthread_should_stop.

The issue has been noticed during reboot test on a 3.0 based kernel but
the current code seems to be affected in the same way.
