commit 6f75c3fd upstream. Consider two devices, A and B, where B is a child of A, and B utilizes asynchronous suspend (it does not matter whether A is sync or async). If B fails to suspend_noirq() or suspend_late(), or is interrupted by a wakeup (pm_wakeup_pending()), then it aborts and sets the async_error variable. However, device A does not (immediately) check the async_error variable; it may continue to run its own suspend_noirq()/suspend_late() callback. This is bad. We can resolve this problem by doing our error and wakeup checking (particularly, for the async_error flag) after waiting for children to suspend, instead of before. This also helps align the logic for the noirq and late suspend cases with the logic in __device_suspend(). It's easy to observe this erroneous behavior by, for example, forcing a device to sleep a bit in its suspend_noirq() (to ensure the parent is waiting for the child to complete), then return an error, and watch the parent suspend_noirq() still get called. (Or similarly, fake a wakeup event at the right (or is it wrong?) time.)

commit d6124b40 upstream. This subsystem consistently fails to drop the device reference taken by class_find_device().

commit e0d9727c upstream. The SPLC data parsing is too restrictive and was not trying find the correct element for WiFi. This causes problems with some BIOSes where the SPLC method exists, but doesn't have a WiFi entry on the first element of the list. The domain type values are also incorrect according to the specification. Fix this by complying with the actual specification. Additionally, replace all occurrences of SPLX to SPLC, since SPLX is only a structure internal to the ACPI tables, and may not even exist.

commit 3984903a upstream. RTC can be clocked from an external 32KHz oscillator, or from the Peripheral PLL. The RTC has an internal oscillator buffer to support direct operation with a crystal. ---------------------------------------- | Device --------- | | | | | | | RTCSS | | | --------- | | | OSC |<------| RTC | | | | |------>| OSC |--- | | | | -------- | | | | | ----|clk | | | -------- | | | | | | PRCM |--- | | | | -------- -------- | ---------------------------------------- The RTC functional clock is sourced by default from the clock derived from the Peripheral PLL. In order to select source as external osc clk the following changes needs to be done: - Enable the RTC OSC (RTC_OSC_REG[4]OSC32K_GZ = 0) - Enable the clock mux(RTC_OSC_REG[6]K32CLK_EN = 1) - Select the external clock source (RTC_OSC_REG[3]32KCLK_SEL = 1) Fixes: 399cf0f6 ("rtc: omap: Add external clock enabling support") Signed-off-by: Keerthy <j-keerthy@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Lokesh Vutla <lokeshvutla@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Gerlach <d-gerlach@ti.com> Signed-off-by: Alexandre Belloni <alexandre.belloni@free-electrons.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

commit 8e94a46c upstream. External clients which import our bo's wait only for exclusive dmabuf-fences, not on shared ones, ditto for bo's which we import from external providers and write to. Therefore attach exclusive fences on prime shared buffers if our exported buffer gets imported by an external client, or if we import a buffer from an external exporter. See discussion in thread: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2016-October/122370.html Prime export tested on Intel iGPU + AMD Tonga dGPU as DRI3/Present Prime render offload, and with the Tonga standalone as primary gpu. v2: Add a wait for all shared fences before prime export, as suggested by Christian Koenig. v3: - Mark buffer prime_exported in amdgpu_gem_prime_pin, so we only use the exclusive fence when exporting a bo to external clients like a separate iGPU, but not when exporting/importing from/to ourselves as part of regular DRI3 fd passing. - Propagate failure of reservation_object_wait_rcu back to caller. v4: - Switch to a prime_shared_count counter instead of a flag, which gets in/decremented on prime_pin/unpin, so we can switch back to shared fences if all clients detach from our exported bo. - Also switch to exclusive fence for prime imported bo's. v5: - Drop lret, instead use int ret -> long ret, as proposed by Christian.

commit c6a38553 upstream. So Sebastian turned off the PIE for kernel builds but that was too late - Kbuild.include already uses KBUILD_CFLAGS and trying to disable gcc options with, say cc-disable-warning, fails: gcc -D__KERNEL__ -Wall -Wundef -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs ... -Wno-sign-compare -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables -Wframe-address -c -x c /dev/null -o .31392.tmp /dev/null:1:0: error: code model kernel does not support PIC mode because that returns an error and we can't disable the warning. For example in this case: KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call cc-disable-warning,frame-address,) which leads to gcc issuing all those warnings again. So let's turn off PIE/PIC at the earliest possible moment, when we declare KBUILD_CFLAGS so that cc-disable-warning picks it up too. Also, we need the $(call cc-option ...) because -fno-PIE is supported since gcc v3.4 and our lowest supported gcc version is 3.2 right now.

commit 93d710a6 upstream. We get the following build error from UM Linux after adding an entry to drivers/iio/gyro/Kconfig that issues "select I2C_MUX": ERROR: "devm_ioremap_resource" [drivers/i2c/muxes/i2c-mux-reg.ko] undefined! ERROR: "of_address_to_resource" [drivers/i2c/muxes/i2c-mux-reg.ko] undefined! It appears that the I2C mux core code depends on HAS_IOMEM for historical reasons, while CONFIG_I2C_MUX_REG does *not* have a direct dependency on HAS_IOMEM. This creates a situation where a allyesconfig or allmodconfig for UM Linux will select I2C_MUX, and will implicitly enable I2C_MUX_REG as well, and the compilation will fail for the register driver. Fix this up by making I2C_MUX_REG depend on HAS_IOMEM and removing the dependency from I2C_MUX.

commit b0b6e868 upstream. cpu_llc_id (Last Level Cache ID) derivation on AMD Fam17h has an underflow bug when extracting the socket_id value. It starts from 0 so subtracting 1 from it will result in an invalid value. This breaks scheduling topology later on since the cpu_llc_id will be incorrect. For example, the the cpu_llc_id of the *other* CPU in the loops in set_cpu_sibling_map() underflows and we're generating the funniest thread_siblings masks and then when I run 8 threads of nbench, they get spread around the LLC domains in a very strange pattern which doesn't give you the normal scheduling spread one would expect for performance. Other things like EDAC use cpu_llc_id so they will be b0rked too. So, the APIC ID is preset in APICx020 for bits 3 and above: they contain the core complex, node and socket IDs. The LLC is at the core complex level so we can find a unique cpu_llc_id by right shifting the APICID by 3 because then the least significant bit will be the Core Complex ID.

[ Upstream commit 83a17d26 ] The fixup helper function mechanism for handling user copy fault handling is not %100 accurrate, and can never be made so. We are going to transition the code to return the running return return length, which is always kept track in one or more registers of each of these routines. In order to convert them one by one, we have to allow the existing behavior to continue functioning. Therefore make all the copy code that wants the fixup helper to be used return negative one. After all of the user copy routines have been converted, this logic and the fixup helpers themselves can be removed completely. Signed-off-by: David S.

[ Upstream commit a74ad5e6 ] When the vmalloc area gets fragmented, and because the firmware mapping area sits between where modules live and the vmalloc area, we can sometimes receive requests for enormous kernel TLB range flushes. When this happens the cpu just spins flushing billions of pages and this triggers the NMI watchdog and other problems. We took care of this on the TSB side by doing a linear scan of the table once we pass a certain threshold. Do something similar for the TLB flush, however we are limited by the TLB flush facilities provided by the different chip variants. First of all we use an (mostly arbitrary) cut-off of 256K which is about 32 pages. This can be tuned in the future. The huge range code path for each chip works as follows: 1) On spitfire we flush all non-locked TLB entries using diagnostic acceses. 2) On cheetah we use the "flush all" TLB flush. 3) On sun4v/hypervisor we do a TLB context flush on context 0, which unlike previous chips does not remove "permanent" or locked entries. We could probably do something better on spitfire, such as limiting the flush to kernel TLB entries or even doing range comparisons. However that probably isn't worth it since those chips are old and the TLB only had 64 entries.
