copy_to_user()/copy_from_user() must not be used with spinlocks held. Move locks inside each case so we have better control of when the locks are held. Also, since we use spinlocks, we don't need to hold the BKL, so remove it. Reported-by: Kulikov Vasiliy <segooon@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jesper Nilsson <jesper.nilsson@axis.com>

All these files use the big kernel lock in a trivial way to serialize their private file operations, typically resulting from an earlier semi-automatic pushdown from VFS. None of these drivers appears to want to lock against other code, and they all use the BKL as the top-level lock in their file operations, meaning that there is no lock-order inversion problem. Consequently, we can remove the BKL completely, replacing it with a per-file mutex in every case. Using a scripted approach means we can avoid typos. file=$1 name=$2 if grep -q lock_kernel ${file} ; then if grep -q 'include.*linux.mutex.h' ${file} ; then sed -i '/include.*<linux\/smp_lock.h>/d' ${file} else sed -i 's/include.*<linux\/smp_lock.h>.*$/include <linux\/mutex.h>/g' ${file} fi sed -i ${file} \ -e "/^#include.*linux.mutex.h/,$ { 1,/^\(static\|int\|long\)/ { /^\(static\|int\|long\)/istatic DEFINE_MUTEX(${name}_mutex); } }" \ -e "s/\(un\)*lock_kernel\>[ ]*()/mutex_\1lock(\&${name}_mutex)/g" \ -e '/[ ]*cycle_kernel_lock();/d' else sed -i -e '/include.*\<smp_lock.h\>/d' ${file} \ -e '/cycle_kernel_lock()/d' fi Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Jesper Nilsson <jesper.nilsson@axis.com>

GENERIC_TIME was not functional for CRIS, giving random backward time jumps. For CRISv32 implement a new clocksource using the free running counter and ditch the arch_gettimeoffset. The random time jumps still existed, but turned out to be the write_seqlock which was missing around our do_timer() call. So switch over to GENERIC_TIME using the clocksource for CRISv32. CRISv10 doesn't have the free running counter needed for the clocksource trick, but we can still use GENERIC_TIME with arch_gettimeoffset. Unfortunately, there were problems in using the prescaler register to timer0 for the gettimeoffset calculation, so it is now ignored, making our resolution worse by the tune of 40usec (0.4%) worst case. At the same time, clean up some formatting and use NSEC_PER_SEC instead of 1000000000. Signed-off-by: Jesper Nilsson <jesper.nilsson@axis.com>

We should use perf_sample_data_init() to initialize struct perf_sample_data. As explained in the description of commit dc1d628a ("perf: Provide generic perf_sample_data initialization"), it is possible for userspace to get the kernel to dereference data.raw, so if it is not initialized, that means that unprivileged userspace can possibly oops the kernel. Using perf_sample_data_init makes sure it gets initialized to NULL. This conversion should have been included in commit dc1d628a, but it got missed.

The PCC cpufreq driver unmaps the mailbox address range if any CPUs fail to initialise, but doesn't do anything to remove the registered CPUs from the cpufreq core resulting in failures further down the line. We're better off simply returning a failure - the cpufreq core will unregister us cleanly if we end up with no successfully registered CPUs. Tidy up the failure path and also add a sanity check to ensure that the firmware gives us a realistic frequency - the core deals badly with that being set to 0.

The pcc specification documents an _OSC method that's incompatible with the one defined as part of the ACPI spec. This shouldn't be a problem as both are supposed to be guarded with a UUID. Unfortunately approximately nobody (including HP, who wrote this spec) properly check the UUID on entry to the _OSC call. Right now this could result in surprising behaviour if the pcc driver performs an _OSC call on a machine that doesn't implement the pcc specification. Check whether the PCCH method exists first in order to reduce this probability.

Eric W. Biederman authored
Recently my tagged sysfs support revealed a flaw in the device core that a few rare drivers are running into such that we don't always put network devices in a class subdirectory named net/. Since we are not creating the class directory the network devices wind up in a non-tagged directory, but the symlinks to the network devices from /sys/class/net are in a tagged directory. All of which works until we go to remove or rename the symlink. When we remove or rename a symlink we look in the namespace of the target of the symlink. Since the target of the symlink is in a non-tagged sysfs directory we don't have a namespace to look in, and we fail to remove the symlink. Detect this problem up front and simply don't create symlinks we won't be able to remove later. This prevents symlink leakage and fails in a much clearer and more understandable way.

This caused initialization failures in the ums-karma driver. Fix the regression by zeroing it.

The bmAttributes field of the SuperSpeed Endpoint Companion Descriptor has different meanings, depending on the endpoint type. If the endpoint is isochronous, the bmAttributes field is the maximum number of packets within a service interval that this endpoint supports. If the endpoint is bulk, it's the number of stream IDs this endpoint supports. Only set the Mult field of the xHCI endpoint context using the bmAttributes field if the endpoint is isochronous, and the device is a SuperSpeed device.
