Panfrost uses multiple schedulers (one for each slot, so 2 in reality), and on a timeout has to stop all the schedulers to safely perform a reset. However more than one scheduler can trigger a timeout at the same time. This race condition results in jobs being freed while they are still in use. When stopping other slots use cancel_delayed_work_sync() to ensure that any timeout started for that slot has completed. Also use mutex_trylock() to obtain reset_lock. This means that only one thread attempts the reset, the other threads will simply complete without doing anything (the first thread will wait for this in the call to cancel_delayed_work_sync()). While we're here and since the function is already dependent on sched_job not being NULL, let's remove the unnecessary checks.

Commit 4daa4fba ("gpu: drm: ttm: Adding new return type vm_fault_t") broke TTM prefaulting. Since vmf_insert_mixed() typically always returns VM_FAULT_NOPAGE, prefaulting stops after the second PTE. Restore (almost) the original behaviour. Unfortunately we can no longer with the new vm_fault_t return type determine whether a prefaulting PTE insertion hit an already populated PTE, and terminate the insertion loop. Instead we continue with the pre-determined number of prefaults.

On msm8998, vblank timeouts are observed because the DSI controller is not reset properly, which ends up stalling the MDP. This is because the reset logic is not correct per the hardware documentation. The documentation states that after asserting reset, software should wait some time (no indication of how long), or poll the status register until it returns 0 before deasserting reset. wmb() is insufficient for this purpose since it just ensures ordering, not timing between writes. Since asserting and deasserting reset occurs on the same register, ordering is already guaranteed by the architecture, making the wmb extraneous. Since we would define a timeout for polling the status register to avoid a possible infinite loop, lets just use a static delay of 20 ms, since 16.666 ms is the time available to process one frame at 60 fps.

[cherry-picked to drm-misc-fixes: drm-misc-next commit dfef9598] Commit 554b3529 ("thermal/drivers/core: Remove the module Kconfig's option") changed the type of THERMAL from tristate to bool, so THERMAL || !THERMAL is now always y. Remove the redundant dependency. Discovered through Kconfiglib detecting a dependency loop. The C tools simplify the expression to y before running dependency loop detection, and so don't see it. Changing the type of THERMAL back to tristate makes the C tools detect the same loop. Not sure if running dep. loop detection after simplification can be called a bug. Fixing this nit unbreaks Kconfiglib on the kernel at least.

max_tu_symbol was programmed to TU_SIZE_RECOMMENDED - 1, which is not what the spec says. The spec says: roundup ((input active video bandwidth in bytes/output active video bandwidth in bytes) * tu_size) It is not quite clear what the above means, but calculating max_tu_symbol = (input Bps / output Bps) * tu_size seems to work and fixes the issues seen.

The OMAP36xx and AM/DM37x TRMs say that the maximum divider for DSS fclk (in CM_CLKSEL_DSS) is 32. Experimentation shows that this is not correct, and using divider of 32 breaks DSS with a flood or underflows and sync losts. Dividers up to 31 seem to work fine. There is another patch to the DT files to limit the divider correctly, but as the DSS driver also needs to know the maximum divider to be able to iteratively find good rates, we also need to do the fix in the DSS driver.

Merge active entropy generation updates. This is admittedly partly "for discussion". We need to have a way forward for the boot time deadlocks where user space ends up waiting for more entropy, but no entropy is forthcoming because the system is entirely idle just waiting for something to happen. While this was triggered by what is arguably a user space bug with GDM/gnome-session asking for secure randomness during early boot, when they didn't even need any such truly secure thing, the issue ends up being that our "getrandom()" interface is prone to that kind of confusion, because people don't think very hard about whether they want to block for sufficient amounts of entropy. The approach here-in is to decide to not just passively wait for entropy to happen, but to start actively collecting it if it is missing. This is not necessarily always possible, but if the architecture has a CPU cycle counter, there is a fair amount of noise in the exact timings of reasonably complex loads. We may end up tweaking the load and the entropy estimates, but this should be at least a reasonable starting point. As part of this, we also revert the revert of the ext4 IO pattern improvement that ended up triggering the reported lack of external entropy. * getrandom() active entropy waiting: Revert "Revert "ext4: make __ext4_get_inode_loc plug"" random: try to actively add entropy rather than passively wait for it

This reverts commit 72dbcf72. Instead of waiting forever for entropy that may just not happen, we now try to actively generate entropy when required, and are thus hopefully avoiding the problem that caused the nice ext4 IO pattern fix to be reverted.

Linus Torvalds authored
For 5.3 we had to revert a nice ext4 IO pattern improvement, because it caused a bootup regression due to lack of entropy at bootup together with arguably broken user space that was asking for secure random numbers when it really didn't need to. See commit 72dbcf72 (Revert "ext4: make __ext4_get_inode_loc plug"). This aims to solve the issue by actively generating entropy noise using the CPU cycle counter when waiting for the random number generator to initialize. This only works when you have a high-frequency time stamp counter available, but that's the case on all modern x86 CPU's, and on most other modern CPU's too. What we do is to generate jitter entropy from the CPU cycle counter under a somewhat complex load: calling the scheduler while also guaranteeing a certain amount of timing noise by also triggering a timer. I'm sure we can tweak this, and that people will want to look at other alternatives, but there's been a number of papers written on jitter entropy, and this should really be fairly conservative by crediting one bit of entropy for every timer-induced jump in the cycle counter. Not because the timer itself would be all that unpredictable, but because the interaction between the timer and the loop is going to be. Even if (and perhaps particularly if) the timer actually happens on another CPU, the cacheline interaction between the loop that reads the cycle counter and the timer itself firing is going to add perturbations to the cycle counter values that get mixed into the entropy pool. As Thomas pointed out, with a modern out-of-order CPU, even quite simple loops show a fair amount of hard-to-predict timing variability even in the absense of external interrupts. But this tries to take that further by actually having a fairly complex interaction. This is not going to solve the entropy issue for architectures that have no CPU cycle counter, but it's not clear how (and if) that is solvable, and the hardware in question is largely starting to be irrelevant. And by doing this we can at least avoid some of the even more contentious approaches (like making the entropy waiting time out in order to avoid the possibly unbounded waiting).

And let's fixes to get LCD working again for logicpd board that got broken a while back with removal of panel-dpi driver. We need to now use generic CONFIG_DRM_PANEL_SIMPLE instead. * tag 'fixes-5.4-merge-window' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap: bus: ti-sysc: Remove unpaired sysc_clkdm_deny_idle() ARM: dts: logicpd-som-lv: Fix i2c2 and i2c3 Pin mux ARM: dts: am3517-evm: Fix missing video ARM: dts: logicpd-torpedo-baseboard: Fix missing video ARM: omap2plus_defconfig: Fix missing video bus: ti-sysc: Fix handling of invalid clocks bus: ti-sysc: Fix clock handling for no-idle quirks Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/pull-1568819401-72461@atomide.comSigned-off-by: Olof Johansson <olof@lixom.net>

Pull thermal SoC updates from Eduardo Valentin: "This is a really small pull in the midst of a lot of pending patches. We are in the middle of restructuring how we are maintaining the thermal subsystem, as per discussion in our last LPC. For now, I am sending just some changes that were pending in my tree. Looking forward to get a more streamlined process in the next merge window" * 'linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/evalenti/linux-soc-thermal: thermal: db8500: Rewrite to be a pure OF sensor thermal: db8500: Use dev helper variable thermal: db8500: Finalize device tree conversion thermal: thermal_mmio: remove some dead code
