[ Upstream commit 8f36ebaf ] When we fault in a page, we flush it to the PoC (Point of Coherency) if the faulting vcpu has its own caches off, so that it can observe the page we just brought it. But if the vcpu has its caches on, we skip that step. Bad things happen when *another* vcpu tries to access that page with its own caches disabled. At that point, there is no garantee that the data has made it to the PoC, and we access stale data. The obvious fix is to always flush to PoC when a page is faulted in, no matter what the state of the vcpu is.

[ Upstream commit c6dce262 ] Since commit 557aaa7f ("ft232: support the ASYNC_LOW_LATENCY flag") the FTDI driver has been using a receive latency-timer value of 1 ms instead of the device default of 16 ms. The latency timer is used to periodically empty a non-full receive buffer, but a status header is always sent when the timer expires including when the buffer is empty. This means that a two-byte bulk message is received every millisecond also for an otherwise idle port as long as it is open. Let's restore the pre-2009 behaviour which reduces the rate of the status messages to 1/16th (e.g. interrupt frequency drops from 1 kHz to 62.5 Hz) by not setting ASYNC_LOW_LATENCY by default. Anyone willing to pay the price for the minimum-latency behaviour should set the flag explicitly instead using the TIOCSSERIAL ioctl or a tool such as setserial (e.g. setserial /dev/ttyUSB0 low_latency). Note that since commit 0cbd81a9 ("USB: ftdi_sio: remove tty->low_latency") the ASYNC_LOW_LATENCY flag has no other effects but to set a minimal latency timer. Reported-by:

[ Upstream commit 61cd1b4c ] ds2490 driver was doing USB transfers from / to buffers on a stack. This is not permitted and made the driver non-working with vmapped stacks. Since all these transfers are done under the same bus_mutex lock we can simply use shared buffers in a device private structure for two most common of them. While we are at it, let's also fix a comparison between int and size_t in ds9490r_search() which made the driver spin in this function if state register get requests were failing. Signed-off-by:

This seems to date back to when the drivers were originally added, so backporting the fix to stable seems appropriate.

[ Upstream commit 55efcfcd ] The RDMA core uses ib_pack() to convert from unpacked CPU structs to on-the-wire bitpacked structs. This process requires that 1 bit fields are declared as u8 in the unpacked struct, otherwise the packing process does not read the value properly and the packed result is wired to 0. Several places wrongly used int. Crucially this means the kernel has never, set reversible correctly in the path record request. It has always asked for irreversible paths even if the ULP requests otherwise. When the kernel is used with a SM that supports this feature, it completely breaks communication management if reversible paths are not properly requested. The only reason this ever worked is because opensm ignores the reversible bit. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: 1da177e4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2") Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit bb9bc468 ] get_frame_info() calculates the offset of the return address within a stack frame simply by dividing a the bottom 16 bits of the instruction, treated as a signed integer, by the size of a long. Whilst this works for MIPS32 & MIPS64 ISAs where the sw or sd instructions are used, it's incorrect for microMIPS where encodings differ. The result is that we typically completely fail to unwind the stack on microMIPS. Fix this by adjusting is_ra_save_ins() to calculate the return address offset, and take into account the various different encodings there in the same place as we consider whether an instruction is storing the ra/$31 register. With this we are now able to unwind the stack for kernels targetting the microMIPS ISA, for example we can produce: Call Trace: [<80109e1f>] show_stack+0x63/0x7c [<8011ea17>] __warn+0x9b/0xac [<8011ea45>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x1d/0x20 [<8013fe53>] register_console+0x43/0x314 [<8067c58d>] of_setup_earlycon+0x1dd/0x1ec [<8067f63f>] early_init_dt_scan_chosen_stdout+0xe7/0xf8 [<8066c115>] do_early_param+0x75/0xac [<801302f9>] parse_args+0x1dd/0x308 [<8066c459>] parse_early_options+0x25/0x28 [<8066c48b>] parse_early_param+0x2f/0x38 [<8066e8cf>] setup_arch+0x113/0x488 [<8066c4f3>] start_kernel+0x57/0x328 ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- Whereas previously we only produced: Call Trace: [<80109e1f>] show_stack+0x63/0x7c ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit b6c7a324 ] get_frame_info() is meant to iterate over up to the first 128 instructions within a function, but for microMIPS kernels it will not reach that many instructions unless the function is 512 bytes long since we calculate the maximum number of instructions to check by dividing the function length by the 4 byte size of a union mips_instruction. In microMIPS kernels this won't do since instructions are variable length. Fix this by instead checking whether the pointer to the current instruction has reached the end of the function, and use max_insns as a simple constant to check the number of iterations against.

[ Upstream commit a3552dac ] During stack unwinding we call a number of functions to determine what type of instruction we're looking at. The union mips_instruction pointer provided to them may be pointing at a 2 byte, but not 4 byte, aligned address & we thus cannot directly access the 4 byte wide members of the union mips_instruction. To avoid this is_ra_save_ins() copies the required half-words of the microMIPS instruction to a correctly aligned union mips_instruction on the stack, which it can then access safely. The is_jump_ins() & is_sp_move_ins() functions do not correctly perform this temporary copy, and instead attempt to directly dereference 4 byte fields which may be misaligned and lead to an address exception. Fix this by copying the instruction halfwords to a temporary union mips_instruction in get_frame_info() such that we can provide a 4 byte aligned union mips_instruction to the is_*_ins() functions and they do not need to deal with misalignment themselves.

[ Upstream commit ccaf7caf ] get_frame_info() can be called in microMIPS kernels with the ISA bit already clear. For example this happens when unwind_stack_by_address() is called because we begin with a PC that has the ISA bit set & subtract the (odd) offset from the preceding symbol (which does not have the ISA bit set). Since get_frame_info() unconditionally subtracts 1 from the PC in microMIPS kernels it incorrectly misaligns the address it then attempts to access code at, leading to an address error exception. Fix this by using msk_isa16_mode() to clear the ISA bit, which allows get_frame_info() to function regardless of whether it is provided with a PC that has the ISA bit set or not. Signed-off-by:

[ Upstream commit 721d4845 ] On my Cherrytrail CUBE iwork8 Air tablet PIPE-A would get stuck on loading i915 at boot 1 out of every 3 boots, resulting in a non functional LCD. Once the i915 driver has successfully loaded, the panel can be disabled / enabled without hitting this issue. The getting stuck is caused by vlv_init_display_clock_gating() clearing the DPOUNIT_CLOCK_GATE_DISABLE bit in DSPCLK_GATE_D when called from chv_pipe_power_well_ops.enable() on driver load, while a pipe is enabled driving the DSI LCD by the BIOS. Clearing this bit while DSI is in use is a known issue and intel_dsi_pre_enable() / intel_dsi_post_disable() already set / clear it as appropriate. This commit modifies vlv_init_display_clock_gating() to leave the DPOUNIT_CLOCK_GATE_DISABLE bit alone fixing the pipe getting stuck.

This patch fixes an issue which was introduced by commit: 91a612ee ("perf/core: Fix dynamic interrupt throttle") ... which commit unconditionally sets the perf_sample_allowed_ns value to !0. But that could trigger a bug in the following corner case: The user can disable the dynamic interrupt throttle mechanism by setting perf_cpu_time_max_percent to 0. Then they change perf_event_max_sample_rate. For this case, the mechanism will be enabled implicitly, because perf_sample_allowed_ns becomes !0 - which is not what we want. This patch only updates perf_sample_allowed_ns when the dynamic interrupt throttle mechanism is enabled. Signed-off-by:

There were two problems with the dynamic interrupt throttle mechanism, both triggered by the same action. When you (or perf_fuzzer) write a huge value into /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate the computed perf_sample_allowed_ns becomes 0. This effectively disables the whole dynamic throttle. This is fixed by ensuring update_perf_cpu_limits() never sets the value to 0. However, we allow disabling of the dynamic throttle by writing 100 to /proc/sys/kernel/perf_cpu_time_max_percent. This will generate a warning in dmesg. The second problem is that by setting the max_sample_rate to a huge number, the adaptive process can take a few tries, since it halfs the limit each time. Change that to directly compute a new value based on the observed duration. Signed-off-by:
