2014-10-30kvm: fix potentially corrupt mmio cacheDavid Matlack
commit ee3d1570b58677885b4552bce8217fda7b226a68 upstream. vcpu exits and memslot mutations can run concurrently as long as the vcpu does not aquire the slots mutex. Thus it is theoretically possible for memslots to change underneath a vcpu that is handling an exit. If we increment the memslot generation number again after synchronize_srcu_expedited(), vcpus can safely cache memslot generation without maintaining a single rcu_dereference through an entire vm exit. And much of the x86/kvm code does not maintain a single rcu_dereference of the current memslots during each exit. We can prevent the following case: vcpu (CPU 0) | thread (CPU 1) --------------------------------------------+-------------------------- 1 vm exit | 2 srcu_read_unlock(&kvm->srcu) | 3 decide to cache something based on | old memslots | 4 | change memslots | (increments generation) 5 | synchronize_srcu(&kvm->srcu); 6 retrieve generation # from new memslots | 7 tag cache with new memslot generation | 8 srcu_read_unlock(&kvm->srcu) | ... | <action based on cache occurs even | though the caching decision was based | on the old memslots> | ... | <action *continues* to occur until next | memslot generation change, which may | be never> | | By incrementing the generation after synchronizing with kvm->srcu readers, we ensure that the generation retrieved in (6) will become invalid soon after (8). Keeping the existing increment is not strictly necessary, but we do keep it and just move it for consistency from update_memslots to install_new_memslots. It invalidates old cached MMIOs immediately, instead of having to wait for the end of synchronize_srcu_expedited, which makes the code more clearly correct in case CPU 1 is preempted right after synchronize_srcu() returns. To avoid halving the generation space in SPTEs, always presume that the low bit of the generation is zero when reconstructing a generation number out of an SPTE. This effectively disables MMIO caching in SPTEs during the call to synchronize_srcu_expedited. Using the low bit this way is somewhat like a seqcount---where the protected thing is a cache, and instead of retrying we can simply punt if we observe the low bit to be 1.

2014-10-15uas: Add no-report-opcodes quirkHans de Goede
commit 734016b00b50a3c6a0e1fc1b7b217e783f5123a1 upstream. Besides the ASM1051 (*) needing sdev->no_report_opcodes = 1, it turns out that the JMicron JMS567 also needs it to work properly with uas (usb-storage always sets it). Since some of the scsi devs were not to keen on the idea to outrightly set sdev->no_report_opcodes = 1 for all uas devices, so add a quirk for this, and set it for the JMS567. *) Which has become a non-issue since we've completely blacklisted uas on the ASM1051 for other reasons Reported-and-tested-by: Claudio Bizzarri <claudio.bizzarri@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

commit 1b134c9c4b555342be667f144ee714af1c3f6a9f upstream. using LVDS channel 1 on an i.MX53 leads to following error: imx-ldb 53fa8008.ldb: unable to set di0 parent clock to ldb_di1 This comes from imx_ldb_set_clock with mux = 0.

commit a9ecdc0fdc54aa499604dbd43132988effcac9b4 upstream. In case the Device Tree blob passed by the boot agent supplies both an 'interrupts-extended' and an 'interrupts' property in order to allow for older kernels to be usable, prefer the new-style 'interrupts-extended' property which conveys a lot more information. This allows us to have bootloaders willingly maintaining backwards compatibility with older kernels without entirely deprecating the 'interrupts' property. Update the bindings documentation to describe a situation where both the 'interrupts-extended' and the 'interrupts' property are present, and which one takes precedence over the other.

2014-09-05KVM: PPC: Book3S: Fix LPCR one_reg interfaceAlexey Kardashevskiy
commit a0840240c0c6bcbac8f0f5db11f95c19aaf9b52f upstream. Unfortunately, the LPCR got defined as a 32-bit register in the one_reg interface. This is unfortunate because KVM allows userspace to control the DPFD (default prefetch depth) field, which is in the upper 32 bits. The result is that DPFD always get set to 0, which reduces performance in the guest. We can't just change KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR to be a 64-bit register ID, since that would break existing userspace binaries. Instead we define a new KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR_64 id which is 64-bit. Userspace can still use the old KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR id, but it now only modifies those fields in the bottom 32 bits that userspace can modify (ILE, TC and AIL). If userspace uses the new KVM_REG_PPC_LPCR_64 id, it can modify DPFD as well.

2014-07-11ARM: EXYNOS: Add support for clock handling in power domainPrathyush K
While powering on/off a local powerdomain in exynos5 chipsets, the input clocks to each device gets modified. This behaviour is based on the SYSCLK_SYS_PWR_REG registers. E.g. SYSCLK_MFC_SYS_PWR_REG = 0x0, the parent of input clock to MFC (aclk333) gets modified to oscclk = 0x1, no change in clocks. The recommended value of SYSCLK_SYS_PWR_REG before power gating any domain is 0x0. So we must also restore the clocks while powering on a domain everytime. This patch adds the framework for getting the required mux and parent clocks through a power domain device node. With this patch, while powering off a domain, parent is set to oscclk and while powering back on, its re-set to the correct parent which is as per the recommended pd on/off sequence.

2014-06-29ARM: 8076/1: mm: add support for HW coherent systems in PL310 cacheThomas Petazzoni
When a PL310 cache is used on a system that provides hardware coherency, the outer cache sync operation is useless, and can be skipped. Moreover, on some systems, it is harmful as it causes deadlocks between the Marvell coherency mechanism, the Marvell PCIe controller and the Cortex-A9. To avoid this, this commit introduces a new Device Tree property 'arm,io-coherent' for the L2 cache controller node, valid only for the PL310 cache. It identifies the usage of the PL310 cache in an I/O coherent configuration. Internally, it makes the driver disable the outer cache sync operation. Note that technically speaking, a fully coherent system wouldn't require any of the other .outer_cache operations. However, in practice, when booting secondary CPUs, these are not yet coherent, and therefore a set of cache maintenance operations are necessary at this point. This explains why we keep the other .outer_cache operations and only ->sync is disabled. While in theory any write to a PL310 register could cause the deadlock, in practice, disabling ->sync is sufficient to workaround the deadlock, since the other cache maintenance operations are only used in very specific situations. Contrary to previous versions of this patch, this new version does not simply NULL-ify the ->sync member, because the l2c_init_data structures are now 'const' and therefore cannot be modified, which is a good thing. Therefore, this patch introduces a separate l2c_init_data instance, called of_l2c310_coherent_data.

2014-06-25ALSA: hda - Adjust speaker HPF and add LED support for HP Spectre 13Takashi Iwai
HP Spectre 13 has the IDT 92HD95 codec, and BIOS seems to set the default high-pass filter in some "safer" range, which results in the very soft tone from the built-in speakers in contrast to Windows. Also, the mute LED control is missing, since 92HD95 codec still has no HP-specific fixups for GPIO setups. This patch adds these missing features: the HPF is adjusted by the vendor-specific verb, and the LED is set up from a DMI string (but with the default polarity = 0 assumption due to the incomplete BIOS on the given machine).

2014-06-23kernel/watchdog.c: print traces for all cpus on lockup detectionAaron Tomlin
A 'softlockup' is defined as a bug that causes the kernel to loop in kernel mode for more than a predefined period to time, without giving other tasks a chance to run. Currently, upon detection of this condition by the per-cpu watchdog task, debug information (including a stack trace) is sent to the system log. On some occasions, we have observed that the "victim" rather than the actual "culprit" (i.e. the owner/holder of the contended resource) is reported to the user. Often this information has proven to be insufficient to assist debugging efforts. To avoid loss of useful debug information, for architectures which support NMI, this patch makes it possible to improve soft lockup reporting. This is accomplished by issuing an NMI to each cpu to obtain a stack trace. If NMI is not supported we just revert back to the old method. A sysctl and boot-time parameter is available to toggle this feature.

This patch allows the user to write 0 to restore the default behavior. It still requires a fraction equal to or larger than 8, however, as stated by the documentation for sanity. If a value in the range [1, 7] is written, the sysctl will return EINVAL. This successfully solves the divide by zero issue at the same time.

2014-06-23rcu: Reduce overhead of cond_resched() checks for RCUPaul E. McKenney
Commit ac1bea85781e (Make cond_resched() report RCU quiescent states) fixed a problem where a CPU looping in the kernel with but one runnable task would give RCU CPU stall warnings, even if the in-kernel loop contained cond_resched() calls. Unfortunately, in so doing, it introduced performance regressions in Anton Blanchard's will-it-scale "open1" test. The problem appears to be not so much the increased cond_resched() path length as an increase in the rate at which grace periods complete, which increased per-update grace-period overhead. This commit takes a different approach to fixing this bug, mainly by moving the RCU-visible quiescent state from cond_resched() to rcu_note_context_switch(), and by further reducing the check to a simple non-zero test of a single per-CPU variable. However, this approach requires that the force-quiescent-state processing send resched IPIs to the offending CPUs. These will be sent only once the grace period has reached an age specified by the boot/sysfs parameter rcutree.jiffies_till_sched_qs, or once the grace period reaches an age halfway to the point at which RCU CPU stall warnings will be emitted, whichever comes first.

2014-06-22spi: qup: Remove chip select functionAndy Gross
This patch removes the chip select function. Chip select should instead be supported using GPIOs, defining the DT entry "cs-gpios", and letting the SPI core assert/deassert the chip select as it sees fit. The chip select control inside the controller is buggy. It is supposed to automatically assert the chip select based on the activity in the controller, but it is buggy and doesn't work at all. So instead we elect to use GPIOs. Signed-off-by: Andy Gross <agross@codeaurora.org> Signed-off-by: Mark Brown <broonie@linaro.org>
