The 'get_burstcount' function can in some circumstances 'return -EBUSY' which in tpm_stm_i2c_send is stored in an 'u32 burstcnt' thus converting the signed value into an unsigned value, resulting in 'burstcnt' being huge. Changing the type to u32 only does not solve the problem as the signed value is converted to an unsigned in I2C_WRITE_DATA, resulting in the same effect. Thus -> Change type of burstcnt to u32 (the return type of get_burstcount) -> Add a check for the return value of 'get_burstcount' and propagate a potential error. This makes also sense in the 'I2C_READ_DATA' case, where the there is no signed/unsigned conversion. found by coverity Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Peter Huewe <peterhuewe@gmx.de>

Pull ACPI and PM fixes and new device IDs from Rafael Wysocki: "These commits, except for one, are regression fixes and the remaining one fixes a divide error leading to a kernel panic. The majority of the regressions fixed here were introduced during the 3.12 cycle, one of them is from this cycle and one is older. Specifics: - VGA switcheroo was broken for some users as a result of the ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP) changes in 3.12, because some previously ignored hotplug events started to be handled. The fix causes them to be ignored again. - There are two more issues related to cpufreq's suspend/resume handling changes from the 3.12 cycle addressed by Viresh Kumar's fixes. - intel_pstate triggers a divide error in a timer function if the P-state information it needs is missing during initialization. This leads to kernel panics on nested KVM clients and is fixed by failing the initialization cleanly in those cases. - PCI initalization code changes during the 3.9 cycle uncovered BIOS issues related to ACPI wakeup notifications (some BIOSes send them for devices that aren't supposed to support ACPI wakeup). Work around them by installing an ACPI wakeup notify handler for all PCI devices with ACPI support. - The Calxeda cpuilde driver's probe function is tagged as __init, which is incorrect and causes a section mismatch to occur during build. Fix from Andre Przywara removes the __init tag from there. - During the 3.12 cycle ACPIPHP started to print warnings about missing _ADR for devices that legitimately don't have it. Fix from Toshi Kani makes it only print the warnings where they make sense" * tag 'pm+acpi-3.13-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: ACPIPHP / radeon / nouveau: Fix VGA switcheroo problem related to hotplug intel_pstate: Fail initialization if P-state information is missing ARM/cpuidle: remove __init tag from Calxeda cpuidle probe function PCI / ACPI: Install wakeup notify handlers for all PCI devs with ACPI cpufreq: preserve user_policy across suspend/resume cpufreq: Clean up after a failing light-weight initialization ACPI / PCI / hotplug: Avoid warning when _ADR not present

This patch removes the 'size_limit' argument from ima_eventdigest_init_common(). Since the 'd' field will never include the hash algorithm as prefix and the 'd-ng' will always have it, we can use the hash algorithm to differentiate the two cases in the modified function (it is equal to HASH_ALGO__LAST in the first case, the opposite in the second).

The EPOLL_CTL_DEL path of epoll contains a classic, ab-ba deadlock. That is, epoll_ctl(a, EPOLL_CTL_DEL, b, x), will deadlock with epoll_ctl(b, EPOLL_CTL_DEL, a, x). The deadlock was introduced with commmit 67347fe4 ("epoll: do not take global 'epmutex' for simple topologies"). The acquistion of the ep->mtx for the destination 'ep' was added such that a concurrent EPOLL_CTL_ADD operation would see the correct state of the ep (Specifically, the check for '!list_empty(&f.file->f_ep_links') However, by simply not acquiring the lock, we do not serialize behind the ep->mtx from the add path, and thus may perform a full path check when if we had waited a little longer it may not have been necessary. However, this is a transient state, and performing the full loop checking in this case is not harmful. The important point is that we wouldn't miss doing the full loop checking when required, since EPOLL_CTL_ADD always locks any 'ep's that its operating upon. The reason we don't need to do lock ordering in the add path, is that we are already are holding the global 'epmutex' whenever we do the double lock. Further, the original posting of this patch, which was tested for the intended performance gains, did not perform this additional locking.

RIP dequeue_hwpoisoned_huge_page+0x131/0x1e0 CR2: 0000000000000058 The reasoning of this problem is shown below: - when we have a memory error on a thp tail page, the memory error handler grabs a refcount of the head page to keep the thp under us. - Before unmapping the error page from processes, we split the thp, where page refcounts of both of head/tail pages don't change. - Then we call try_to_unmap() over the error page (which was a tail page before). We didn't pin the error page to handle the memory error, this error page is freed and removed from LRU list. - We never have the error page on LRU list, so the first page state check returns "unknown page," then we move to the second check with the saved page flag. - The saved page flag have PG_tail set, so the second page state check returns "hugepage." - We call me_huge_page() for freed error page, then we hit the above panic. The root cause is that we didn't move refcount from the head page to the tail page after split thp. So this patch suggests to do this. This panic was introduced by commit 524fca1e ("HWPOISON: fix misjudgement of page_action() for errors on mlocked pages"). Note that we did have the same refcount problem before this commit, but it was just ignored because we had only first page state check which returned "unknown page." The commit changed the refcount problem from "doesn't work" to "kernel panic."
