Today, put_compat_statfs64() disallows nearly any field value over 2^32 if f_bsize is only 32 bits, but that makes no sense. compat_statfs64 is there for the explicit purpose of providing 64-bit fields for f_files, f_ffree, etc. And f_bsize is always only 32 bits. As a result, 32-bit userspace gets -EOVERFLOW for i.e. large file counts even with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 set. In reality, only f_bsize and f_frsize can legitimately overflow (fields like f_type and f_namelen should never be large), so test only those fields. This bug was discussed at length some time ago, and this is the proposal Al suggested at https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/8/6/640. It seemed to get dropped amid the discussion of other related changes, but this part seems obviously correct on its own, so I've picked it up and sent it, for expediency.

Randy Dunlap reports on the sparse list that sparse warns about this expression: of_irq->percpu ? free_percpu_irq(of_irq->irq, clkevt) : free_irq(of_irq->irq, clkevt); and honestly, sparse is correct to warn. The return type of free_percpu_irq() is 'void', while free_irq() returns a 'const void *' that is the devname argument passed in to the request_irq(). You can't mix a void type with a non-void types in a conditional expression according to the C standard. It so happens that gcc seems to accept it - and the resulting type of the expression is void - but there's really no reason for the kernel to have this kind of non-standard expression with no real upside. The natural way to write that expression is with an if-statement: if (of_irq->percpu) free_percpu_irq(of_irq->irq, clkevt); else free_irq(of_irq->irq, clkevt); which is more legible anyway. I'm not sure why that timer-of code seems to have this odd pattern. It does the same at allocation time, but at least there the types match, and it makes sense as an expression.

This reverts commit 7e64db15. The thin provisioning feature introduces an IOCTL and the discard support to allow userspace tools and filesystems to release unused and previously allocated space respectively. During some internal performance improvements and further tests, the release of allocated space revealed some issues that may lead to data corruption in some configurations when filesystems are mounted with discard support enabled. While we're working on a fix and trying to clarify the situation, this commit reverts the discard support for ESE volumes to prevent potential data corruption.

It is possible that the CCW commands for reading volume and extent pool information are not supported, either by the storage server (for dedicated DASDs) or by z/VM (for virtual devices, such as MDISKs). As a command reject will occur in such a case, the current error handling leads to a failing online processing and thus the DASD can't be used at all. Since the data being read is not essential for an fully operational DASD, the error handling can be removed. Information about the failing command is sent to the s390dbf debug feature.

All system calls use struct __kernel_timespec instead of the old struct timespec, but this one was just added with the old-style ABI. Change it now to enforce the use of __kernel_timespec, avoiding ABI confusion and the need for compat handlers on 32-bit architectures. Any user space caller will have to use __kernel_timespec now, but this is unambiguous and works for any C library regardless of the time_t definition. A nicer way to specify the timeout would have been a less ambiguous 64-bit nanosecond value, but I suppose it's too late now to change that as this would impact both 32-bit and 64-bit users.

The loop driver assumes that if the passed in fd is opened with O_DIRECT, the caller wants to use direct I/O on the loop device. However, if the underlying block device has a different block size than the loop block queue, direct I/O can't be enabled. Instead of requiring userspace to manually change the blocksize and re-enable direct I/O, just change the queue block sizes to match, as well as the io_min size.

Merge active entropy generation updates. This is admittedly partly "for discussion". We need to have a way forward for the boot time deadlocks where user space ends up waiting for more entropy, but no entropy is forthcoming because the system is entirely idle just waiting for something to happen. While this was triggered by what is arguably a user space bug with GDM/gnome-session asking for secure randomness during early boot, when they didn't even need any such truly secure thing, the issue ends up being that our "getrandom()" interface is prone to that kind of confusion, because people don't think very hard about whether they want to block for sufficient amounts of entropy. The approach here-in is to decide to not just passively wait for entropy to happen, but to start actively collecting it if it is missing. This is not necessarily always possible, but if the architecture has a CPU cycle counter, there is a fair amount of noise in the exact timings of reasonably complex loads. We may end up tweaking the load and the entropy estimates, but this should be at least a reasonable starting point. As part of this, we also revert the revert of the ext4 IO pattern improvement that ended up triggering the reported lack of external entropy. * getrandom() active entropy waiting: Revert "Revert "ext4: make __ext4_get_inode_loc plug"" random: try to actively add entropy rather than passively wait for it

For 5.3 we had to revert a nice ext4 IO pattern improvement, because it caused a bootup regression due to lack of entropy at bootup together with arguably broken user space that was asking for secure random numbers when it really didn't need to. See commit 72dbcf72 (Revert "ext4: make __ext4_get_inode_loc plug"). This aims to solve the issue by actively generating entropy noise using the CPU cycle counter when waiting for the random number generator to initialize. This only works when you have a high-frequency time stamp counter available, but that's the case on all modern x86 CPU's, and on most other modern CPU's too. What we do is to generate jitter entropy from the CPU cycle counter under a somewhat complex load: calling the scheduler while also guaranteeing a certain amount of timing noise by also triggering a timer. I'm sure we can tweak this, and that people will want to look at other alternatives, but there's been a number of papers written on jitter entropy, and this should really be fairly conservative by crediting one bit of entropy for every timer-induced jump in the cycle counter. Not because the timer itself would be all that unpredictable, but because the interaction between the timer and the loop is going to be. Even if (and perhaps particularly if) the timer actually happens on another CPU, the cacheline interaction between the loop that reads the cycle counter and the timer itself firing is going to add perturbations to the cycle counter values that get mixed into the entropy pool. As Thomas pointed out, with a modern out-of-order CPU, even quite simple loops show a fair amount of hard-to-predict timing variability even in the absense of external interrupts. But this tries to take that further by actually having a fairly complex interaction. This is not going to solve the entropy issue for architectures that have no CPU cycle counter, but it's not clear how (and if) that is solvable, and the hardware in question is largely starting to be irrelevant. And by doing this we can at least avoid some of the even more contentious approaches (like making the entropy waiting time out in order to avoid the possibly unbounded waiting).

Merge tag 'fixes-5.4-merge-window' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap into arm/fixes Fixes for omap variants Few fixes for ti-sysc interconnect target module driver for no-idle quirks that caused nfsroot to fail on some dra7 boards. And let's fixes to get LCD working again for logicpd board that got broken a while back with removal of panel-dpi driver. We need to now use generic CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_SIMPLE instead. * tag 'fixes-5.4-merge-window' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap: bus: ti-sysc: Remove unpaired sysc_clkdm_deny_idle() ARM: dts: logicpd-som-lv: Fix i2c2 and i2c3 Pin mux ARM: dts: am3517-evm: Fix missing video ARM: dts: logicpd-torpedo-baseboard: Fix missing video ARM: omap2plus_defconfig: Fix missing video bus: ti-sysc: Fix handling of invalid clocks bus: ti-sysc: Fix clock handling for no-idle quirks Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/pull-1568819401-72461@atomide.comSigned-off-by: Olof Johansson <olof@lixom.net>
