      x86: Mark hpa as a "Designated Reviewer" for the time being · 8a95b74d
      H. Peter Anvin authored 
      Due to some unfortunate events, I have not been directly involved in
the x86 kernel patch flow for a while now.  I have also not been able
to ramp back up by now like I had hoped to, and after reviewing what I
will need to work on both internally at Intel and elsewhere in the near
term, it is clear that I am not going to be able to ramp back up until
late 2018 at the very earliest.

It is not acceptable to not recognize that this load is currently
taken by Ingo and Thomas without my direct participation, so I mark
myself as R: (designated reviewer) rather than M: (maintainer) until
further notice.  This is in fact recognizing the de facto situation
for the past few years.

I have obviously no intention of going away, and I will do everything
within my power to improve Linux on x86 and x86 for Linux.  This,
however, puts credit where it is due and reflects a change of focus.

This patch also removes stale entries for portions of the x86
architecture which have not been maintained separately from arch/x86
for a long time.  If there is a reason to re-introduce them then that
can happen later.

      nfsd: auth: Fix gid sorting when rootsquash enabled · 19952667
      Ben Hutchings authored 
      Commit bdcf0a42 ("kernel: make groups_sort calling a responsibility
group_info allocators") appears to break nfsd rootsquash in a pretty
major way.

It adds a call to groups_sort() inside the loop that copies/squashes
gids, which means the valid gids are sorted along with the following
garbage.  The net result is that the highest numbered valid gids are
replaced with any lower-valued garbage gids, possibly including 0.

We should sort only once, after filling in all the gids.

Fixes: bdcf0a42 ("kernel: make groups_sort calling a responsibility ...")

      Talat Batheesh authored 
      Helmut reported a bug about division by zero while
running traffic and doing physical cable pull test.

When the cable unplugged the ppms become zero, so when
dividing the current ppms by the previous ppms in the
next dim iteration there is division by zero.

This patch prevent this division for both ppms and epms.

[ Side note: this patch fixes the problem, but it isn't entirely clear
  why it is required. The wbinvd should just work regardless, but there
  seems to be some system - as opposed to CPU - issue, since the wbinvd
  causes more problems later in the shutdown sequence, but wbinvd
  instructions while the system is still active are not problematic.

  Possibly some SMI or pending machine check issue on the affected system ]

      Laura Abbott authored 
      Commit bacf6b49 ("x86/mm: Use a struct to reduce parameters for SME
PGD mapping") moved some parameters into a structure.

The structure was large enough to trigger the stack protection canary in
sme_encrypt_kernel which doesn't work this early, causing reboots.

Mark sme_encrypt_kernel appropriately to not use the canary.

      alpha/PCI: Fix noname IRQ level detection · 86be8993
      Lorenzo Pieralisi authored 
      The conversion of the alpha architecture PCI host bridge legacy IRQ
mapping/swizzling to the new PCI host bridge map/swizzle hooks carried
out through:

commit 0e4c2eeb ("alpha/PCI: Replace pci_fixup_irqs() call with
host bridge IRQ mapping hooks")

implies that IRQ for devices are now allocated through pci_assign_irq()
function in pci_device_probe() that is called when a driver matching a
device is found in order to probe the device through the device driver.

Alpha noname platforms required IRQ level programming to be executed
in sio_fixup_irq_levels(), that is called in noname_init_pci(), a
platform hook called within a subsys_initcall.

In noname_init_pci(), present IRQs are detected through
sio_collect_irq_levels() that check the struct pci_dev->irq number
to detect if an IRQ has been allocated for the device.

By the time sio_collect_irq_levels() is called, some devices may still
have not a matching driver loaded to match them (eg loadable module)
therefore their IRQ allocation is still pending - which means that
sio_collect_irq_levels() does not programme the correct IRQ level for
those devices, causing their IRQ handling to be broken when the device
driver is actually loaded and the device is probed.

Fix the issue by adding code in the noname map_irq() function
(noname_map_irq()) that, whilst mapping/swizzling the IRQ line, it also
ensures that the correct IRQ level programming is executed at platform
level, fixing the issue.

host bridge IRQ mapping hooks")
