      driver: Google Memory Console · e561bc45
      Mike Waychison authored
      This patch introduces the 'memconsole' driver.
      
      Our firmware gives us access to an in-memory log of the firmware's
      output.   This gives us visibility in a data-center of headless machines
      as to what the firmware is doing.
      
      The memory console is found by the driver by finding a header block in
      the EBDA.  The buffer is then copied out, and is exported to userland in
      the file /sys/firmware/log.

      driver: Google EFI SMI · 74c5b31c
      Mike Waychison authored
      The "gsmi" driver bridges userland with firmware specific routines for
      accessing hardware.
      
      Currently, this driver only supports NVRAM and eventlog information.
      Deprecated functions have been removed from the driver, though their
      op-codes are left in place so that they are not re-used.
      
      This driver works by trampolining into the firmware via the smi_command
      outlined in the FADT table.  Three protocols are used due to various
      limitations over time, but all are included herein.
      
      This driver should only ever load on Google boards, identified by either
      a "Google, Inc." board vendor string in DMI, or "GOOGLE" in the OEM
      strings of the FADT ACPI table.  This logic happens in
      gsmi_system_valid().

      proc: do proper range check on readdir offset · d8bdc59f
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Rather than pass in some random truncated offset to the pid-related
      functions, check that the offset is in range up-front.
      
      This is just cleanup, the previous commit fixed the real problem.

      next_pidmap: fix overflow condition · c78193e9
      Linus Torvalds authored
      next_pidmap() just quietly accepted whatever 'last' pid that was passed
      in, which is not all that safe when one of the users is /proc.
      
      Admittedly the proc code should do some sanity checking on the range
      (and that will be the next commit), but that doesn't mean that the
      helper functions should just do that pidmap pointer arithmetic without
      checking the range of its arguments.
      
      So clamp 'last' to PID_MAX_LIMIT.  The fact that we then do "last+1"
      doesn't really matter, the for-loop does check against the end of the
      pidmap array properly (it's only the actual pointer arithmetic overflow
      case we need to worry about, and going one bit beyond isn't going to
      overflow).
      
      [ Use PID_MAX_LIMIT rather than pid_max as per Eric Biederman ]

      Input: xen-kbdfront - fix mouse getting stuck after save/restore · c36b58e8
      Igor Mammedov authored
      Mouse gets "stuck" after restore of PV guest but buttons are in working
      condition.
      
      If driver has been configured for ABS coordinates at start it will get
      XENKBD_TYPE_POS events and then suddenly after restore it'll start getting
      XENKBD_TYPE_MOTION events, that will be dropped later and they won't get
      into user-space.
      
      Regression was introduced by hunk 5 and 6 of
      5ea5254a
      ("Input: xen-kbdfront - advertise either absolute or relative
      coordinates").
      
      Driver on restore should ask xen for request-abs-pointer again if it is
      available. So restore parts that did it before 5ea5254a.
