      dm cache metadata: fix READ_LOCK macros and cleanup WRITE_LOCK macros · 9567366f
      Mike Snitzer authored 
      The READ_LOCK macro was incorrectly returning -EINVAL if
dm_bm_is_read_only() was true -- it will always be true once the cache
metadata transitions to read-only by dm_cache_metadata_set_read_only().

Wrap READ_LOCK and WRITE_LOCK multi-statement macros in do {} while(0).
Also, all accesses of the 'cmd' argument passed to these related macros
are now encapsulated in parenthesis.

A follow-up patch can be developed to eliminate the use of macros in
favor of pure C code.  Avoiding that now given that this needs to apply
to stable@.

      NVMe: Always use MSI/MSI-x interrupts · a5229050
      Keith Busch authored 
      Multiple users have reported device initialization failure due the driver
not receiving legacy PCI interrupts. This is not unique to any particular
controller, but has been observed on multiple platforms.

There have been no issues reported or observed when with message signaled
interrupts, so this patch attempts to use MSI-x during initialization,
falling back to MSI. If that fails, legacy would become the default.

The setup_io_queues error handling had to change as a result: the admin
queue's msix_entry used to be initialized to the legacy IRQ. The case
where nr_io_queues is 0 would fail request_irq when setting up the admin
queue's interrupt since re-enabling MSI-x fails with 0 vectors, leaving
the admin queue's msix_entry invalid. Instead, return success immediately.

      /proc/iomem: only expose physical resource addresses to privileged users · 51d7b120
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      In commit c4004b02 ("x86: remove the kernel code/data/bss resources
from /proc/iomem") I was hoping to remove the phyiscal kernel address
data from /proc/iomem entirely, but that had to be reverted because some
system programs actually use it.

This limits all the detailed resource information to properly
credentialed users instead.

      pci-sysfs: use proper file capability helper function · ab0fa82b
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      The PCI config access checked the file capabilities correctly, but used
the itnernal security capability check rather than the helper function
that is actually meant for that.

The security_capable() has unusual return values and is not meant to be
used elsewhere (the only other use is in the capability checking
functions that we actually intend people to use, and this odd PCI usage
really stood out when looking around the capability code.

      Make file credentials available to the seqfile interfaces · 34dbbcdb
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      A lot of seqfile users seem to be using things like %pK that uses the
credentials of the current process, but that is actually completely
wrong for filesystem interfaces.

The unix semantics for permission checking files is to check permissions
at _open_ time, not at read or write time, and that is not just a small
detail: passing off stdin/stdout/stderr to a suid application and making
the actual IO happen in privileged context is a classic exploit
technique.

So if we want to be able to look at permissions at read time, we need to
use the file open credentials, not the current ones.  Normal file
accesses can just use "f_cred" (or any of the helper functions that do
that, like file_ns_capable()), but the seqfile interfaces do not have
any such options.

It turns out that seq_file _does_ save away the user_ns information of
the file, though.  Since user_ns is just part of the full credential
information, replace that special case with saving off the cred pointer
instead, and suddenly seq_file has all the permission information it
needs.

      Revert "x86: remove the kernel code/data/bss resources from /proc/iomem" · 4046d6e8
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      This reverts commit c4004b02.

Sadly, my hope that nobody would actually use the special kernel entries
in /proc/iomem were dashed by kexec.  Which reads /proc/iomem explicitly
to find the kernel base address.  Nasty.

Anyway, that means we can't do the sane and simple thing and just remove
the entries, and we'll instead have to mask them out based on permissions.

      Fix the FTRACE function tracer for 32- and 64-bit kernel.
The former code was horribly broken.

Reimplement most coding in assembly and utilize optimizations, e.g. put
mcount() and ftrace_stub() into one L1 cacheline.

      pmem: fix BUG() error in pmem.h:48 on X86_32 · cba2e47a

      After 'commit fc0c2028 ("x86, pmem: use memcpy_mcsafe()

error below on X86_32 kernel.

 kernel BUG at include/linux/pmem.h:48!

memcpy_from_pmem() calls arch_memcpy_from_pmem(), which is
unimplemented since CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API is undefined on
X86_32.

Fix the BUG() error by adding default_memcpy_from_pmem().

      pwm: fsl-ftm: Use flat regmap cache · ad06fdee
      Stefan Agner authored 
      Use flat regmap cache to avoid lockdep warning at probe:

[    0.697285] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at kernel/locking/lockdep.c:2755 lockdep_trace_alloc+0x15c/0x160()
[    0.697449] DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(irqs_disabled_flags(flags))

The RB-tree regmap cache needs to allocate new space on first writes.
However, allocations in an atomic context (e.g. when a spinlock is held)
are not allowed. The function regmap_write calls map->lock, which
acquires a spinlock in the fast_io case. Since the pwm-fsl-ftm driver
uses MMIO, the regmap bus of type regmap_mmio is being used which has
fast_io set to true.

The MMIO space of the pwm-fsl-ftm driver is reasonable condense, hence
using the much faster flat regmap cache is anyway the better choice.

      mmc: tegra: Disable UHS-I modes for Tegra124 · 70ad7f7e
      Jon Hunter authored 
      Tegra124 has been randomly hanging during system suspend when entering
the Tegra LP1 low power state. The hang is caused by the Tegra SDHCI
driver and linked to the UHS-I tuning sequence. Disabling the UHS-I
modes for Tegra124 prevents any hangs from occurring when entering
system suspend.

Unfortunately, the tuning sequence described in the public Tegra
documentation is incomplete and on inspection of the current tuning
sequence that has been implemented is also incomplete and may cause
problems. In the short-term it is safer to disable UHS-I modes for now
and fix later because it would be too large of a change to simply patch
now. Therefore, disable UHS-I modes for Tegra124.

      mmc: block: Use the mmc host device index as the mmcblk device index · 9aaf3437
      Ulf Hansson authored 
      Commit 520bd7a8 ("mmc: core: Optimize boot time by detecting cards
simultaneously") causes regressions for some platforms.

These platforms relies on fixed mmcblk device indexes, instead of
deploying the defacto standard with UUID/PARTUUID. In other words their
rootfs needs to be available at hardcoded paths, like /dev/mmcblk0p2.

Such guarantees have never been made by the kernel, but clearly the above
commit changes the behaviour. More precisely, because of that the order
changes of how cards becomes detected, so do their corresponding mmcblk
device indexes.

As the above commit significantly improves boot time for some platforms
(magnitude of seconds), let's avoid reverting this change but instead
restore the behaviour of how mmcblk device indexes becomes picked.

By using the same index for the mmcblk device as for the corresponding mmc
host device, the probe order of mmc host devices decides the index we get
for the mmcblk device.

For those platforms that suffers from a regression, one could expect that
this updated behaviour should be sufficient to meet their expectations of
"fixed" mmcblk device indexes.

Another side effect from this change, is that the same index is used for
the mmc host device, the mmcblk device and the mmc block queue. That
should clarify their relationship.
