Add support for Cypress s25fs128s1 flash. Previously the flash is decoded as s25fl129p1 by mistake. Add it in the flash info list to correctly decode. The flash also needs a fixup for s25fs-s family. Further capability of the flash will be parsed from bfpt. The flash has been tested under SPI/DUAL/QUAD mode on hisi-sfc-v3xx controller, all the write/read/erase works well.

Spansion S25FS-S family has an issue in the Basic Flash Parameter Table (BFPT): Dword-11 bits 7:4 specify a page size of 512 bytes. Actually this is configurable in the vendor unique register (CR3V) and even the factory default setting is to "wrap at 256 bytes", so blindly relying on BFPT breaks the page writes on these chips. Add the post-BFPT fixup which restores the default page size of 256 bytes -- to properly read CR3V this early is quite intrusive and should better be done as a new feature; Alexander Sverdlin had the patch doing that: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linux-mtd/patch/20200227123657.26030-1-alexander.sverdlin@nokia.com/ Fixes: dfd2b745 ("mtd: spi-nor: add Spansion S25FS512S ID") Signed-off-by: Sergei Shtylyov <sergei.shtylyov@cogentembedded.com> Reviewed-by: Alexander Sverdlin <alexander.sverdlin@nokia.com> Tested-by: Kuldeep Singh <kuldeep.singh@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: Tudor Ambarus <tudor.ambarus@microchip.com>

Brian Geffon authored
When remapping a mapping where a portion of a VMA is remapped into another portion of the VMA it can cause the VMA to become split. During the copy_vma operation the VMA can actually be remerged if it's an anonymous VMA whose pages have not yet been faulted. This isn't normally a problem because at the end of the remap the original portion is unmapped causing it to become split again. However, MREMAP_DONTUNMAP leaves that original portion in place which means that the VMA which was split and then remerged is not actually split at the end of the mremap. This patch fixes a bug where we don't detect that the VMAs got remerged and we end up putting back VM_ACCOUNT on the next mapping which is completely unreleated. When that next mapping is unmapped it results in incorrectly unaccounting for the memory which was never accounted, and eventually we will underflow on the memory comittment. There is also another issue which is similar, we're currently accouting for the number of pages in the new_vma but that's wrong. We need to account for the length of the remap operation as that's all that is being added. If there was a mapping already at that location its comittment would have been adjusted as part of the munmap at the start of the mremap. A really simple repro can be seen in: https://gist.github.com/bgaff/e101ce99da7d9a8c60acc641d07f312c Fixes: e346b381 ("mm/mremap: add MREMAP_DONTUNMAP to mremap()") Reported-by: syzbot <syzkaller@googlegroups.com> Signed-off-by: Brian Geffon <bgeffon@google.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied.
