      x86, cpu, amd: Add workaround for family 16h, erratum 793 · dd1f46c9
      Borislav Petkov authored
      commit 3b564968
      
       upstream.
      
      This adds the workaround for erratum 793 as a precaution in case not
      every BIOS implements it.  This addresses CVE-2013-6885.
      
      Erratum text:
      
      [Revision Guide for AMD Family 16h Models 00h-0Fh Processors,
      document 51810 Rev. 3.04 November 2013]
      
      793 Specific Combination of Writes to Write Combined Memory Types and
      Locked Instructions May Cause Core Hang
      
      Description
      
      Under a highly specific and detailed set of internal timing
      conditions, a locked instruction may trigger a timing sequence whereby
      the write to a write combined memory type is not flushed, causing the
      locked instruction to stall indefinitely.
      
      Potential Effect on System
      
      Processor core hang.
      
      Suggested Workaround
      
      BIOS should set MSR
      C001_1020[15] = 1b.
      
      Fix Planned
      
      No fix planned

      xen/pvhvm: If xen_platform_pci=0 is set don't blow up (v4). · 3ea11f2f
      Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk authored
      commit 51c71a3b
      
       upstream.
      
      The user has the option of disabling the platform driver:
      00:02.0 Unassigned class [ff80]: XenSource, Inc. Xen Platform Device (rev 01)
      
      which is used to unplug the emulated drivers (IDE, Realtek 8169, etc)
      and allow the PV drivers to take over. If the user wishes
      to disable that they can set:
      
        xen_platform_pci=0
        (in the guest config file)
      
      or
        xen_emul_unplug=never
        (on the Linux command line)
      
      except it does not work properly. The PV drivers still try to
      load and since the Xen platform driver is not run - and it
      has not initialized the grant tables, most of the PV drivers
      stumble upon:
      
      input: Xen Virtual Keyboard as /devices/virtual/input/input5
      input: Xen Virtual Pointer as /devices/virtual/input/input6M

      which is hardly nice. This patch fixes this by having each
      PV driver check for:
       - if running in PV, then it is fine to execute (as that is their
         native environment).
       - if running in HVM, check if user wanted 'xen_emul_unplug=never',
         in which case bail out and don't load any PV drivers.
       - if running in HVM, and if PCI device 5853:0001 (xen_platform_pci)
         does not exist, then bail out and not load PV drivers.
       - (v2) if running in HVM, and if the user wanted 'xen_emul_unplug=ide-disks',
         then bail out for all PV devices _except_ the block one.
         Ditto for the network one ('nics').
       - (v2) if running in HVM, and if the user wanted 'xen_emul_unplug=unnecessary'
         then load block PV driver, and also setup the legacy IDE paths.
         In (v3) make it actually load PV drivers.

      ALSA: hda/hdmi - allow PIN_OUT to be dynamically enabled · fc959a0c
      Stephen Warren authored
      commit 75fae117 upstream.
      
      Commit 384a48d7 "ALSA: hda: HDMI: Support codecs with fewer cvts
      than pins" dynamically enabled each pin widget's PIN_OUT only when the
      pin was actively in use. This was required on certain NVIDIA CODECs for
      correct operation. Specifically, if multiple pin widgets each had their
      mux input select the same audio converter widget and each pin widget had
      PIN_OUT enabled, then only one of the pin widgets would actually receive
      the audio, and often not the one the user wanted!
      
      However, this apparently broke some Intel systems, and commit
      6169b673
      
       "ALSA: hda - Always turn on pins for HDMI/DP" reverted the
      dynamic setting of PIN_OUT. This in turn broke the afore-mentioned NVIDIA
      CODECs.
      
      This change supports either dynamic or static handling of PIN_OUT,
      selected by a flag set up during CODEC initialization. This flag is
      enabled for all recent NVIDIA GPUs.

      ALSA: hda - hdmi: introduce patch_nvhdmi() · 1e69af34
      Anssi Hannula authored
      (This is a backport of *part* of upstream 611885bc "ALSA: hda -
      hdmi: Disallow unsupported 2ch remapping on NVIDIA codecs" to stable
      3.10 through 3.12. Later stable already contain all of the original
      patch.)
      
      Mainline commit 611885bc "ALSA: hda - hdmi: Disallow unsupported 2ch
      remapping on NVIDIA codecs" introduces function patch_nvhdmi(). That
      function is edited by 75fae117 "ALSA: hda/hdmi - allow PIN_OUT to be
      dynamically enabled". In order to backport the PIN_OUT patch, I am first
      back-porting just the addition of function patch_nvhdmi(), so that the
      conflicts applying the PIN_OUT patch are simplified.
      
      Ideally, one might backport all of 611885bc
      
      . However, that commit
      doesn't apply to stable kernels, since it relies on a chain of other
      patches which implement new features.

      usb: core: get config and string descriptors for unauthorized devices · 6efd4f44
      Thomas Pugliese authored
      commit 83e83ecb
      
       upstream.
      
      There is no need to skip querying the config and string descriptors for
      unauthorized WUSB devices when usb_new_device is called.  It is allowed
      by WUSB spec.  The only action that needs to be delayed until
      authorization time is the set config.  This change allows user mode
      tools to see the config and string descriptors earlier in enumeration
      which is needed for some WUSB devices to function properly on Android
      systems.  It also reduces the amount of divergent code paths needed
      for WUSB devices.
