      ath9k: ar9003: fix OTP register offsets for AR9340 · 46bea30a
      Gabor Juhos authored 
      commit b3cd8021 upstream.

Trying to access the OTP memory on the AR9340
causes a data bus error like this:

  Data bus error, epc == 86e84164, ra == 86e84164

The cause of the error is that the OTP register
offsets are different on the AR9340 than the
actually used values.

      Revert "ath9k_hw: Update AR9003 high_power tx gain table" · ae172f61
      Felix Fietkau authored 
      commit 9c170e06 upstream.

This reverts commit f74b9d36.

Turns out reverting commit a240dc7b
"ath9k_hw: Updated AR9003 tx gain table for 5GHz" was not enough to
bring the tx power back to normal levels on devices like the
Buffalo WZR-HP-G450H, this one needs to be reverted as well.

This revert improves tx power by ~10 db on that device

      mm: use aligned zone start for pfn_to_bitidx calculation · da0e14f0
      Laura Abbott authored 
      commit c060f943 upstream.

The current calculation in pfn_to_bitidx assumes that (pfn -
zone->zone_start_pfn) >> pageblock_order will return the same bit for
all pfn in a pageblock.  If zone_start_pfn is not aligned to
pageblock_nr_pages, this may not always be correct.

Consider the following with pageblock order = 10, zone start 2MB:

  pfn     | pfn - zone start | (pfn - zone start) >> page block order
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
  0x26000 | 0x25e00	   |  0x97
  0x26100 | 0x25f00	   |  0x97
  0x26200 | 0x26000	   |  0x98
  0x26300 | 0x26100	   |  0x98

This means that calling {get,set}_pageblock_migratetype on a single page
will not set the migratetype for the full block.  Fix this by rounding
down zone_start_pfn when doing the bitidx calculation.

For our use case, the effects of this bug were mostly tied to the fact
that CMA allocations would either take a long time or fail to happen.
Depending on the driver using CMA, this could result in anything from
visual glitches to application failures.

      mm: compaction: fix echo 1 > compact_memory return error issue · 63c54425
      Jason Liu authored 
      commit 7964c06d upstream.

when run the folloing command under shell, it will return error

  sh/$ echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory
  sh/$ sh: write error: Bad address

After strace, I found the following log:

  ...
  write(1, "1\n", 2)               = 3
  write(1, "", 4294967295)         = -1 EFAULT (Bad address)
  write(2, "echo: write error: Bad address\n", 31echo: write error: Bad address
  ) = 31

This tells system return 3(COMPACT_COMPLETE) after write data to
compact_memory.

The fix is to make the system just return 0 instead 3(COMPACT_COMPLETE)
from sysctl_compaction_handler after compaction_nodes finished.

      s390/cio: fix pgid reserved check · 2c77bb37
      Sebastian Ott authored 
      commit d99e79ec upstream.

The check to whom a device is reserved is done by checking the path
state of the affected channel paths. If it turns out that one path is
flagged as reserved by someone else the whole device is marked as such.

However the meaning of the RESVD_ELSE bit is that the addressed device
is reserved to a different pathgroup (and not reserved to a different
LPAR). If we do this test on a path which is currently not a member of
the pathgroup we could erroneously mark the device as reserved to
someone else.

To fix this collect the reserved state for all potential members of the
pathgroup and only mark the device as reserved if all of those potential
members have the RESVD_ELSE bit set.

      powerpc/vdso: Remove redundant locking in update_vsyscall_tz() · aea63e00
      Shan Hai authored 
      commit ce73ec6d upstream.

The locking in update_vsyscall_tz() is not only unnecessary because the vdso
code copies the data unproteced in __kernel_gettimeofday() but also
introduces a hard to reproduce race condition between update_vsyscall()
and update_vsyscall_tz(), which causes user space process to loop
forever in vdso code.

The following patch removes the locking from update_vsyscall_tz().

Locking is not only unnecessary because the vdso code copies the data
unprotected in __kernel_gettimeofday() but also erroneous because updating
the tb_update_count is not atomic and introduces a hard to reproduce race
condition between update_vsyscall() and update_vsyscall_tz(), which further
causes user space process to loop forever in vdso code.

The below scenario describes the race condition,
x==0	Boot CPU			other CPU
	proc_P: x==0
	    timer interrupt
		update_vsyscall
x==1		    x++;sync		settimeofday
					    update_vsyscall_tz
x==2						x++;sync
x==3		    sync;x++
						sync;x++
	proc_P: x==3 (loops until x becomes even)

Because the ++ operator would be implemented as three instructions and not
atomic on powerpc.

A similar change was made for x86 in commit 6c260d58
("x86: vdso: Remove bogus locking in update_vsyscall_tz")

      powerpc: Fix CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=n build · dc22f2dc
      Anton Blanchard authored 
      commit 11ee7e99 upstream.

If we build a kernel with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=n,
the kernel fails when we run at a non zero offset. It turns out
we were incorrectly wrapping some of the relocatable kernel code
with CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP.
