[ Upstream commit f8f3b7fc ] Regulators, which are marked as 'on-in-suspend' seems to be critical for board operation, thus they must not be disabled anytime. This can be only assured by marking them as 'always-on', because otherwise some actions of their clients might result in turning them off. This patch restores suspend/resume operation on Peach-Pit Chromebook board. It partially reverts 'always-on' property removal done by the commit mentioned in the Fixes tag. Fixes: 665c441e ("ARM: dts: exynos: Remove unneded always-on for regulators on Peach boards") Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 64858773 ] This patch adds missing properties to the CODEC and sound nodes, so the audio will work also on Snow rev5 Chromebook. This patch is an extension to the commit e9eefc3f ("ARM: dts: exynos: Add missing clock and DAI properties to the max98095 node in Snow Chromebook") and commit 6ab56993 ("ARM: dts: exynos: Enable HDMI audio on Snow Chromebook"). It has been reported that such changes work fine on the rev5 board too. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit e33ffbd9 ] If the CPU DAI does not initialise rate_max, say if using using KNOT or CONTINUOUS, then the rate_max field will be initialised to 0. A value of zero in the rate_max field of the hardware runtime will cause the sound card to support no sample rates at all. Obviously this is not desired, just a different mechanism is being used to apply the constraints. As such update the setting of rate_max in dpcm_init_runtime_hw to be consistent with the non-DPCM cases and set rate_max to UINT_MAX if nothing is defined on the CPU DAI. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 4f36cb36 ] The GFS2_RDF_UPTODATE flag in the rgrp is used to determine when a rgrp buffer is valid. It's cleared when the glock is invalidated, signifying that the buffer data is now invalid. But before this patch, function update_rgrp_lvb was setting the flag when it determined it had a valid lvb. But that's an invalid assumption: just because you have a valid lvb doesn't mean you have valid buffers. After all, another node may have made the lvb valid, and this node just fetched it from the glock via dlm. Consider this scenario: 1. The file system is mounted with RGRPLVB option. 2. In gfs2_inplace_reserve it locks the rgrp glock EX, but thanks to GL_SKIP, it skips the gfs2_rgrp_bh_get. 3. Since loops == 0 and the allocation target (ap->target) is bigger than the largest known chunk of blocks in the rgrp (rs->rs_rbm.rgd->rd_extfail_pt) it skips that rgrp and bypasses the call to gfs2_rgrp_bh_get there as well. 4. update_rgrp_lvb sees the lvb MAGIC number is valid, so bypasses gfs2_rgrp_bh_get, but it still sets sets GFS2_RDF_UPTODATE due to this invalid assumption. 5. The next time update_rgrp_lvb is called, it sees the bit is set and just returns 0, assuming both the lvb and rgrp are both uptodate. But since this is a smaller allocation, or space has been freed by another node, thus adjusting the lvb values, it decides to use the rgrp for allocations, with invalid rd_free due to the fact it was never updated. This patch changes update_rgrp_lvb so it doesn't set the UPTODATE flag anymore. That way, it has no choice but to fetch the latest values. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 7417844b ] When REGULATORY_COUNTRY_IE_IGNORE is set, __reg_process_hint_country_ie() ignores the country code change request from __cfg80211_connect_result() via regulatory_hint_country_ie(). After Disconnect, similar to above, country code should not be reset to world when country IE ignore is set. But this is violated and restore of regulatory settings is invoked by cfg80211_disconnect_work via regulatory_hint_disconnect(). To address this, avoid regulatory restore from regulatory_hint_disconnect() when COUNTRY_IE_IGNORE is set. Note: Currently, restore_regulatory_settings() takes care of clearing beacon hints. But in the proposed change, regulatory restore is avoided. Therefore, explicitly clear beacon hints when DISABLE_BEACON_HINTS is not set. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit bd1d3950 ] When continuously running wifi up/down sequence, the napi poll can be scheduled after the CE buffers being freed by ath10k_pci_flush Steps: In a certain condition, during wifi down below scenario might occur. ath10k_stop->ath10k_hif_stop->napi_schedule->ath10k_pci_flush->napi_poll(napi_synchronize). In the above scenario, CE buffer entries will be freed up and become NULL in ath10k_pci_flush. And the napi_poll has been invoked after the flush process and it will try to get the skb from the CE buffer entry and perform some action on that. Since the CE buffer already cleaned by pci flush this action will create NULL pointer dereference and trigger below kernel panic.

commit 0362f326 upstream. An exiting task might belong to an offline cgroup. In this case an attempt to grab a cgroup reference from the task can end up with an infinite loop in hugetlb_cgroup_charge_cgroup(), because neither the cgroup will become online, neither the task will be migrated to a live cgroup. Fix this by switching over to css_tryget(). As css_tryget_online() can't guarantee that the cgroup won't go offline, in most cases the check doesn't make sense. In this particular case users of hugetlb_cgroup_charge_cgroup() are not affected by this change. A similar problem is described by commit 18fa84a2 ("cgroup: Use css_tryget() instead of css_tryget_online() in task_get_css()").

We're iterating over and over in the do {} while (!css_tryget_online()) loop, but obviously the memcg won't become online and the exiting task won't be migrated to a live memcg. Let's fix it by switching from css_tryget_online() to css_tryget(). As css_tryget_online() cannot guarantee that the memcg won't go offline, the check is usually useless, except some rare cases when for example it determines if something should be presented to a user. A similar problem is described by commit 18fa84a2 ("cgroup: Use css_tryget() instead of css_tryget_online() in task_get_css()"). Johannes: : The bug aside, it doesn't matter whether the cgroup is online for the : callers. It used to matter when offlining needed to evacuate all charges : from the memcg, and so needed to prevent new ones from showing up, but we : don't care now.

commit 762c6968 upstream. We need to get the underlying dentry of parent; sure, absent the races it is the parent of underlying dentry, but there's nothing to prevent losing a timeslice to preemtion in the middle of evaluation of lower_dentry->d_parent->d_inode, having another process move lower_dentry around and have its (ex)parent not pinned anymore and freed on memory pressure. Then we regain CPU and try to fetch ->d_inode from memory that is freed by that point. dentry->d_parent *is* stable here - it's an argument of ->lookup() and we are guaranteed that it won't be moved anywhere until we feed it to d_add/d_splice_alias. So we safely go that way to get to its underlying dentry. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # since 2009 or so Signed-off-by:

commit e72b9dd6 upstream. lower_dentry can't go from positive to negative (we have it pinned), but it *can* go from negative to positive. So fetching ->d_inode into a local variable, doing a blocking allocation, checking that now ->d_inode is non-NULL and feeding the value we'd fetched earlier to a function that won't accept NULL is not a good idea.

commit a9c3c4c5 upstream. If an hfi1 card is inserted in a Gen4 systems, the driver will avoid the gen3 speed bump and the card will operate at half speed. This is because the driver avoids the gen3 speed bump when the parent bus speed isn't identical to gen3, 8.0GT/s. This is not compatible with gen4 and newer speeds. Fix by relaxing the test to explicitly look for the lower capability speeds which inherently allows for gen4 and all future speeds.

commit 1aa9b957 upstream. The page table pages corresponding to broken down large pages are zapped in FIFO order, so that the large page can potentially be recovered, if it is not longer being used for execution. This removes the performance penalty for walking deeper EPT page tables. By default, one large page will last about one hour once the guest reaches a steady state. Signed-off-by:

commit b8e8c830 upstream. With some Intel processors, putting the same virtual address in the TLB as both a 4 KiB and 2 MiB page can confuse the instruction fetch unit and cause the processor to issue a machine check resulting in a CPU lockup. Unfortunately when EPT page tables use huge pages, it is possible for a malicious guest to cause this situation. Add a knob to mark huge pages as non-executable. When the nx_huge_pages parameter is enabled (and we are using EPT), all huge pages are marked as NX. If the guest attempts to execute in one of those pages, the page is broken down into 4K pages, which are then marked executable. This is not an issue for shadow paging (except nested EPT), because then the host is in control of TLB flushes and the problematic situation cannot happen. With nested EPT, again the nested guest can cause problems shadow and direct EPT is treated in the same way. [ tglx: Fixup default to auto and massage wording a bit ] Originally-by:

Lastly, privatize the enum and cpu_mitigations variable since the value of cpu_mitigations can be checked with the exported helper functions. Signed-off-by:

commit db4d30fb upstream. Some processors may incur a machine check error possibly resulting in an unrecoverable CPU lockup when an instruction fetch encounters a TLB multi-hit in the instruction TLB. This can occur when the page size is changed along with either the physical address or cache type. The relevant erratum can be found here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205195 There are other processors affected for which the erratum does not fully disclose the impact. This issue affects both bare-metal x86 page tables and EPT. It can be mitigated by either eliminating the use of large pages or by using careful TLB invalidations when changing the page size in the page tables. Just like Spectre, Meltdown, L1TF and MDS, a new bit has been allocated in MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES (PSCHANGE_MC_NO) and will be set on CPUs which are mitigated against this issue. Signed-off-by:

commit 9167ab79 upstream. VMX already does so if the host has SMEP, in order to support the combination of CR0.WP=1 and CR4.SMEP=1. However, it is perfectly safe to always do so, and in fact VMX already ends up running with EFER.NXE=1 on old processors that lack the "load EFER" controls, because it may help avoiding a slow MSR write. Removing all the conditionals simplifies the code. SVM does not have similar code, but it should since recent AMD processors do support SMEP. So this patch also makes the code for the two vendors more similar while fixing NPT=0, CR0.WP=1 and CR4.SMEP=1 on AMD processors. Cc: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de> Signed-off-by:
