      genirq: Allow forcing cpu affinity of interrupts · d1216732
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      commit 01f8fa4f upstream.
      
      The current implementation of irq_set_affinity() refuses rightfully to
      route an interrupt to an offline cpu.
      
      But there is a special case, where this is actually desired. Some of
      the ARM SoCs have per cpu timers which require setting the affinity
      during cpu startup where the cpu is not yet in the online mask.
      
      If we can't do that, then the local timer interrupt for the about to
      become online cpu is routed to some random online cpu.
      
      The developers of the affected machines tried to work around that
      issue, but that results in a massive mess in that timer code.
      
      We have a yet unused argument in the set_affinity callbacks of the irq
      chips, which I added back then for a similar reason. It was never
      required so it got not used. But I'm happy that I never removed it.
      
      That allows us to implement a sane handling of the above scenario. So
      the affected SoC drivers can add the required force handling to their
      interrupt chip, switch the timer code to irq_force_affinity() and
      things just work.
      
      This does not affect any existing user of irq_set_affinity().
      
      Tagged for stable to allow a simple fix of the affected SoC clock
      event drivers.

      irqchip: Gic: Support forced affinity setting · a46aaa63
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      commit ffde1de6 upstream.
      
      To support the affinity setting of per cpu timers in the early startup
      of a not yet online cpu, implement the force logic, which disables the
      cpu online check.
      
      Tagged for stable to allow a simple fix of the affected SoC clock

      ftrace/module: Hardcode ftrace_module_init() call into load_module() · e412bbae
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored
      commit a949ae56 upstream.
      
      A race exists between module loading and enabling of function tracer.
      
      	CPU 1				CPU 2
      	-----				-----
        load_module()
         module->state = MODULE_STATE_COMING
      
      				register_ftrace_function()
      				 mutex_lock(&ftrace_lock);
      				 ftrace_startup()
      				  update_ftrace_function();
      				   ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare()
      				    set_all_module_text_rw();
      				   <enables-ftrace>
      				    ftrace_arch_code_modify_post_process()
      				     set_all_module_text_ro();
      
      				[ here all module text is set to RO,
      				  including the module that is
      				  loading!! ]
      
         blocking_notifier_call_chain(MODULE_STATE_COMING);
          ftrace_init_module()
      
           [ tries to modify code, but it's RO, and fails!
             ftrace_bug() is called]
      
      When this race happens, ftrace_bug() will produces a nasty warning and
      all of the function tracing features will be disabled until reboot.
      
      The simple solution is to treate module load the same way the core
      kernel is treated at boot. To hardcode the ftrace function modification
      of converting calls to mcount into nops. This is done in init/main.c
      there's no reason it could not be done in load_module(). This gives
      a better control of the changes and doesn't tie the state of the
      module to its notifiers as much. Ftrace is special, it needs to be
      treated as such.
      
      The reason this would work, is that the ftrace_module_init() would be
      called while the module is in MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED, which is ignored
      by the set_all_module_text_ro() call.

      mips: dts: Fix missing device_type="memory" property in memory nodes · 923aef0f
      Leif Lindholm authored
      commit dfc44f80 upstream.
      
      A few platforms lack a 'device_type = "memory"' for their memory
      nodes, relying on an old ppc quirk in order to discover its memory.
      Add the missing data so that all parsing code can find memory nodes
      correctly.

      futex: Prevent attaching to kernel threads · 5a9e6a04
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      commit f0d71b3d upstream.
      
      We happily allow userspace to declare a random kernel thread to be the
      owner of a user space PI futex.
      
      Found while analysing the fallout of Dave Jones syscall fuzzer.
      
      We also should validate the thread group for private futexes and find
      some fast way to validate whether the "alleged" owner has RW access on
      the file which backs the SHM, but that's a separate issue.

      futex: Add another early deadlock detection check · a00ef1dd
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      commit 866293ee upstream.
      
      Dave Jones trinity syscall fuzzer exposed an issue in the deadlock
      detection code of rtmutex:
        http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140429151655.GA14277@redhat.com
      
      That underlying issue has been fixed with a patch to the rtmutex code,
      but the futex code must not call into rtmutex in that case because
          - it can detect that issue early
          - it avoids a different and more complex fixup for backing out
      
      If the user space variable got manipulated to 0x80000000 which means
      no lock holder, but the waiters bit set and an active pi_state in the
      kernel is found we can figure out the recursive locking issue by
      looking at the pi_state owner. If that is the current task, then we
      can safely return -EDEADLK.
      
      The check should have been added in commit 59fa6245 (futex: Handle
      futex_pi OWNER_DIED take over correctly) already, but I did not see
      the above issue caused by user space manipulation back then.

      clk: tegra: use pll_ref as the pll_e parent · f1559592

      commit 8e9cc80a upstream.
      
      Use pll_ref instead of pll_re_vco as the pll_e parent on Tegra114. Also
      add a 12Mhz pll_ref table entry for pll_e for Tegra114. This prevents
      the system from crashing at bootup because of an unsupported pll_re_vco
      rate.
