This reverts commit 247bf557. This commit, together with commit 3804fad4 "USBNET: ax88179_178a: enable tso if usb host supports sg dma" were origially added to get xHCI 1.0 hosts and usb ethernet ax88179_178a devices working together with scatter gather. xHCI 1.0 hosts pose some requirement on how transfer buffers are aligned, setting this requirement for 1.0 hosts caused USB 3.0 mass storage devices to fail more frequently. USB 3.0 mass storage devices used to work before 3.14-rc1. Theoretically, the TD fragment rules could have caused an occasional disk glitch. Now the devices *will* fail, instead of theoretically failing. >From a user perspective, this looks like a regression; the USB device obviously fails on 3.14-rc1, and may sometimes silently fail on prior kernels. The proper soluition is to implement the TD fragment rules required, but for now this patch needs to be reverted to get USB 3.0 mass storage devices working at the level they used to.

The DELAY_INIT quirk only reduces the frequency of enumeration failures with the Logitech HD Pro C920 and C930e webcams, but does not quite eliminate them. We have found that adding a delay of 100ms between the first and second Get Configuration request makes the device enumerate perfectly reliable even after several weeks of extensive testing. The reasons for that are anyone's guess, but since the DELAY_INIT quirk already delays enumeration by a whole second, wating for another 10th of that isn't really a big deal for the one other device that uses it, and it will resolve the problems with these webcams.

We've encountered a rare issue when enumerating two Logitech webcams after a reboot that doesn't power cycle the USB ports. They are spewing random data (possibly some leftover UVC buffers) on the second (full-sized) Get Configuration request of the enumeration phase. Since the data is random this can potentially cause all kinds of odd behavior, and since it occasionally happens multiple times (after the kernel issues another reset due to the garbled configuration descriptor), it is not always recoverable. Set the USB_DELAY_INIT quirk that seems to work around the issue.

Steve Capper authored
Page table entries on ARM64 are 64 bits, and some pte functions such as pte_dirty return a bitwise-and of a flag with the pte value. If the flag to be tested resides in the upper 32 bits of the pte, then we run into the danger of the result being dropped if downcast. For example: gather_stats(page, md, pte_dirty(*pte), 1); where pte_dirty(*pte) is downcast to an int. This patch adds a double logical invert to all the pte_ accessors to ensure predictable downcasting.

When remapping a block to the cache's fast device that is larger than 2TB we must not truncate the destination sector to 32bits. The 32bit temporary result of from_cblock() was being overflowed in remap_to_cache() due to the logical left shift. Use an intermediate 64bit type to store the 32bit from_cblock() result to fix the overflow.

The PHB diag-data is important to help locating the root cause for EEH errors such as frozen PE or fenced PHB. However, the EEH core enables IO path by clearing part of HW registers before collecting this data causing it to be corrupted. This patch fixes this by dumping the PHB diag-data immediately when frozen/fenced state on PE or PHB is detected for the first time in eeh_ops::get_state() or next_error() backend.

The new ELFv2 little-endian ABI increases the stack redzone -- the area below the stack pointer that can be used for storing data -- from 288 bytes to 512 bytes. This means that we need to allow more space on the user stack when delivering a signal to a 64-bit process. To make the code a bit clearer, we define new USER_REDZONE_SIZE and KERNEL_REDZONE_SIZE symbols in ptrace.h. For now, we leave the kernel redzone size at 288 bytes, since increasing it to 512 bytes would increase the size of interrupt stack frames correspondingly. Gcc currently only makes use of 288 bytes of redzone even when compiling for the new little-endian ABI, and the kernel cannot currently be compiled with the new ABI anyway. In the future, hopefully gcc will provide an option to control the amount of redzone used, and then we could reduce it even more. This also changes the code in arch_compat_alloc_user_space() to preserve the expanded redzone. It is not clear why this function would ever be used on a 64-bit process, though.

In copy_oldmem_page, the current check using max_pfn and min_low_pfn to decide if the page is backed or not, is not valid when the memory layout is not continuous. This happens when running as a QEMU/KVM guest, where RTAS is mapped higher in the memory. In that case max_pfn points to the end of RTAS, and a hole between the end of the kdump kernel and RTAS is not backed by PTEs. As a consequence, the kdump kernel is crashing in copy_oldmem_page when accessing in a direct way the pages in that hole. This fix relies on the memblock's service memblock_is_region_memory to check if the read page is part or not of the directly accessible memory.

Currently we're storing a host endian RTAS token in rtas_stop_self_args.token. We then pass that directly to rtas. This is fine on big endian however on little endian the token is not what we expect. This will typically result in hitting: panic("Alas, I survived.\n"); To fix this we always use the stop-self token in host order and always convert it to be32 before passing this to rtas.
