If devm_reset_control_get_exclusive() fails, asm9260_wdt_probe() returns immediately. But clks has been already enabled at that point, so it is required to disable them or to move the code around.

Jerry Hoemann authored
Gen8 and prior Proliant systems supported the "CRU" interface to firmware. This interfaces allows linux to "call back" into firmware to source the cause of an NMI. This feature isn't fully utilized as the actual source of the NMI isn't printed, the driver only indicates that the source couldn't be determined when the call fails. With the advent of Gen9, iCRU replaces the CRU. The call back feature is no longer available in firmware. To be compatible and not attempt to call back into firmware on system not supporting CRU, the SMBIOS table is consulted to determine if it is safe to make the call back or not. This results in about half of the driver code being devoted to either making CRU calls or determing if it is safe to make CRU calls. As noted, the driver isn't really using the results of the CRU calls. Furthermore, as a consequence of the Spectre security issue, the BIOS/EFI calls are being wrapped into Spectre-disabling section. Removing the call back in hpwdt_pretimeout assists in this effort. As the CRU sourcing of the NMI isn't required for handling the NMI and there are security concerns with making the call back, remove the legacy (pre Gen9) NMI sourcing and the DMI code to determine if the system had the CRU interface.

According to SBSA spec v3.1 section 5.3: All registers are 32 bits in size and should be accessed using 32-bit reads and writes. If an access size other than 32 bits is used then the results are IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED. [...] The Generic Watchdog is little-endian The current code uses readq to read the watchdog compare register which does a 64-bit access. This fails on ThunderX2 which does not implement 64-bit access to this register. Fix this by using lo_hi_readq() that does two 32-bit reads.

Commit fd8aa909 ("xen: optimize xenbus driver for multiple concurrent xenstore accesses") optimized xenbus concurrent accesses but in doing so broke UABI of /dev/xen/xenbus. Through /dev/xen/xenbus applications are in charge of xenbus message exchange with the correct header and body. Now, after the mentioned commit the replies received by application will no longer have the header req_id echoed back as it was on request (see specification below for reference), because that particular field is being overwritten by kernel. struct xsd_sockmsg { uint32_t type; /* XS_??? */ uint32_t req_id;/* Request identifier, echoed in daemon's response. */ uint32_t tx_id; /* Transaction id (0 if not related to a transaction). */ uint32_t len; /* Length of data following this. */ /* Generally followed by nul-terminated string(s). */ }; Before there was only one request at a time so req_id could simply be forwarded back and forth. To allow simultaneous requests we need a different req_id for each message thus kernel keeps a monotonic increasing counter for this field and is written on every request irrespective of userspace value. Forwarding again the req_id on userspace requests is not a solution because we would open the possibility of userspace-generated req_id colliding with kernel ones. So this patch instead takes another route which is to artificially keep user req_id while keeping the xenbus logic as is. We do that by saving the original req_id before xs_send(), use the private kernel counter as req_id and then once reply comes and was validated, we restore back the original req_id.

Will Deacon authored
In many cases, page tables can be accessed concurrently by either another CPU (due to things like fast gup) or by the hardware page table walker itself, which may set access/dirty bits. In such cases, it is important to use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE when accessing page table entries so that entries cannot be torn, merged or subject to apparent loss of coherence due to compiler transformations. Whilst there are some scenarios where this cannot happen (e.g. pinned kernel mappings for the linear region), the overhead of using READ_ONCE /WRITE_ONCE everywhere is minimal and makes the code an awful lot easier to reason about. This patch consistently uses these macros in the arch code, as well as explicitly namespacing pointers to page table entries from the entries themselves by using adopting a 'p' suffix for the former (as is sometimes used elsewhere in the kernel source).
