      mlx5: minor fixes (mainly avoidance of hidden casts) · f241e749
      Jack Morgenstein authored
      There were many places where parameters which should be u8/u16 were
      integer type.
      
      Additionally, in 2 places, a check for a non-null pointer was added
      before dereferencing the pointer (this is actually a bug fix).

      mlx5: Move pci device handling from mlx5_ib to mlx5_core · 9603b61d
      Jack Morgenstein authored
      In preparation for a new mlx5 device which is VPI (i.e., ports can be
      either IB or ETH), move the pci device functionality from mlx5_ib
      to mlx5_core.
      
      This involves the following changes:
      1. Move mlx5_core_dev struct out of mlx5_ib_dev. mlx5_core_dev
         is now an independent structure maintained by mlx5_core.
         mlx5_ib_dev now has a pointer to that struct.
         This requires changing a lot of places where the core_dev
         struct was accessed via mlx5_ib_dev (now, this needs to
         be a pointer dereference).
      2. All PCI initializations are now done in mlx5_core. Thus,
         it is now mlx5_core which does pci_register_device (and not
         mlx5_ib, as was previously).
      3. mlx5_ib now registers itself with mlx5_core as an "interface"
         driver. This is very similar to the mechanism employed for
         the mlx4 (ConnectX) driver. Once the HCA is initialized
         (by mlx5_core), it invokes the interface drivers to do
         their initializations.
      4. There is a new event handler which the core registers:
         mlx5_core_event(). This event handler invokes the
         event handlers registered by the interfaces.

      random32: mix in entropy from core to late initcall · 4ada97ab
      Hannes Frederic Sowa authored
      Currently, we have a 3-stage seeding process in prandom():
      
      Phase 1 is from the early actual initialization of prandom()
      subsystem which happens during core_initcall() and remains
      most likely until the beginning of late_initcall() phase.
      Here, the system might not have enough entropy available
      for seeding with strong randomness from the random driver.
      That means, we currently have a 32bit weak LCG() seeding
      the PRNG status register 1 and mixing that successively
      into the other 3 registers just to get it up and running.
      
      Phase 2 starts with late_initcall() phase resp. when the
      random driver has initialized its non-blocking pool with
      enough entropy. At that time, we throw away *all* inner
      state from its 4 registers and do a full reseed with strong
      randomness.
      
      Phase 3 starts right after that and does a periodic reseed
      with random slack of status register 1 by a strong random
      source again.
      
      A problem in phase 1 is that during bootup data structures
      can be initialized, e.g. on module load time, and thus access
      a weakly seeded prandom and are never changed for the rest
      of their live-time, thus carrying along the results from a
      week seed. Lets make sure that current but also future users
      access a possibly better early seeded prandom.
      
      This patch therefore improves phase 1 by trying to make it
      more 'unpredictable' through mixing in seed from a possible
      hardware source. Now, the mix-in xors inner state with the
      outcome of either of the two functions arch_get_random_{,seed}_int(),
      preferably arch_get_random_seed_int() as it likely represents
      a non-deterministic random bit generator in hw rather than
      a cryptographically secure PRNG in hw. However, not all might
      have the first one, so we use the PRNG as a fallback if
      available. As we xor the seed into the current state, the
      worst case would be that a hardware source could be unverifiable
      compromised or backdoored. In that case nevertheless it
      would be as good as our original early seeding function
      prandom_seed_very_weak() since we mix through xor which is
      entropy preserving.

      Pull Exynos platform DT fix from Grant Likely:
       "Device tree Exynos bug fix for v3.16-rc7
      
        This bug fix has been brewing for a while.  I hate sending it to you
        so late, but I only got confirmation that it solves the problem this
        past weekend.  The diff looks big for a bug fix, but the majority of
        it is only executed in the Exynos quirk case.  Unfortunately it
        required splitting early_init_dt_scan() in two and adding quirk
        handling in the middle of it on ARM.
      
        Exynos has buggy firmware that puts bad data into the memory node.
        Commit 1c2f87c2 ("ARM: Get rid of meminfo") exposed the bug by
        dropping the artificial upper bound on the number of memory banks that
        can be added.  Exynos fails to boot after that commit.  This branch
        fixes it by splitting the early DT parse function and inserting a
        fixup hook.  Exynos uses the hook to correct the DT before parsing
        memory regions"

      x86/xen: safely map and unmap grant frames when in atomic context · b7dd0e35
      David Vrabel authored
      arch_gnttab_map_frames() and arch_gnttab_unmap_frames() are called in
      atomic context but were calling alloc_vm_area() which might sleep.
      
      Also, if a driver attempts to allocate a grant ref from an interrupt
      and the table needs expanding, then the CPU may already by in lazy MMU
      mode and apply_to_page_range() will BUG when it tries to re-enable
      lazy MMU mode.
      
      These two functions are only used in PV guests.
      
      Introduce arch_gnttab_init() to allocates the virtual address space in
      advance.
      
      Avoid the use of apply_to_page_range() by using saving and using the
      array of PTE addresses from the alloc_vm_area() call (which ensures
      that the required page tables are pre-allocated).

      kvm: arm64: vgic: fix hyp panic with 64k pages on juno platform · 63afbe7a
      Will Deacon authored
      If the physical address of GICV isn't page-aligned, then we end up
      creating a stage-2 mapping of the page containing it, which causes us to
      map neighbouring memory locations directly into the guest.
      
      As an example, consider a platform with GICV at physical 0x2c02f000
      running a 64k-page host kernel. If qemu maps this into the guest at
      0x80010000, then guest physical addresses 0x80010000 - 0x8001efff will
      map host physical region 0x2c020000 - 0x2c02efff. Accesses to these
      physical regions may cause UNPREDICTABLE behaviour, for example, on the
      Juno platform this will cause an SError exception to EL3, which brings
      down the entire physical CPU resulting in RCU stalls / HYP panics / host
      crashing / wasted weeks of debugging.
      
      SBSA recommends that systems alias the 4k GICV across the bounding 64k
      region, in which case GICV physical could be described as 0x2c020000 in
      the above scenario.
      
      This patch fixes the problem by failing the vgic probe if the physical
      base address or the size of GICV aren't page-aligned. Note that this
      generated a warning in dmesg about freeing enabled IRQs, so I had to
      move the IRQ enabling later in the probe.

      arm: Add devicetree fixup machine function · 5a12a597
      Laura Abbott authored
      Commit 1c2f87c2
      (ARM: 8025/1: Get rid of meminfo) dropped the upper bound on
      the number of memory banks that can be added as there was no
      technical need in the kernel. It turns out though, some bootloaders
      (specifically the arndale-octa exynos boards) may pass invalid memory
      information and rely on the kernel to not parse this data. This is a
      bug in the bootloader but we still need to work around this.
      Work around this by introducing a dt_fixup function. This function
      gets called before the flattened devicetree is scanned for memory
      and the like. In this fixup function for exynos, limit the maximum
      number of memory regions in the devicetree.
