Without this patch, I failed to enable RTC in Hisilicon Hi3620 SoC. The
register mapping section in RTC is always read as zero. So I doubt that
ST guys may already enable this register in bootloader. So they won't

Previously the alarm event was not propagated into the RTC subsystem.

There exists a situation when GC can work in background alone without
any other filesystem activity during significant time.
The nilfs_clean_segments() method calls nilfs_segctor_construct() that
updates superblocks in the case of NILFS_SC_SUPER_ROOT and
THE_NILFS_DISCONTINUED flags are set. But when GC is working alone the
nilfs_clean_segments() is called with unset THE_NILFS_DISCONTINUED flag.
As a result, the update of superblocks doesn't occurred all this time
and in the case of SPOR superblocks keep very old values of last super
root placement.
SYMPTOMS:
Trying to mount a NILFS2 volume after SPOR in such environment ends with
very long mounting time (it can achieve about several hours in some
cases).
REPRODUCING PATH:
1. It needs to use external USB HDD, disable automount and doesn't
make any additional filesystem activity on the NILFS2 volume.
2. Generate temporary file with size about 100 - 500 GB (for example,
dd if=/dev/zero of=<file_name> bs=1073741824 count=200). The size of
file defines duration of GC working.
3. Then it needs to delete file.
4. Start GC manually by means of command "nilfs-clean -p 0". When you
start GC by means of such way then, at the end, superblocks is updated
by once. So, for simulation of SPOR, it needs to wait sometime (15 -
40 minutes) and simply switch off USB HDD manually.
5. Switch on USB HDD again and try to mount NILFS2 volume. As a
result, NILFS2 volume will mount during very long time.
REPRODUCIBILITY: 100%
FIX:
This patch adds checking that superblocks need to update and set
THE_NILFS_DISCONTINUED flag before nilfs_clean_segments() call.

the driver as a module. When the driver is built-in, the missing semicolon
after structure initializer is "compensated" by MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() macro
being empty and so the initializer using the trailing semicolon on the next
line; when the driver is built as a module, compilation error ensues, and as
the 'davinci_all_defconfig' has the NAND driver modular, this error prevents

When the system has multiple domains do_sched_rt_period_timer()
can run on any CPU and may iterate over all rt_rq in
cpu_online_mask. This means when balance_runtime() is run for a
given rt_rq that rt_rq may be in a different rd than the current
processor. Thus if we use smp_processor_id() to get rd in
do_balance_runtime() we may borrow runtime from a rt_rq that is
not part of our rd.
This changes do_balance_runtime to get the rd from the passed in
rt_rq ensuring that we borrow runtime only from the correct rd
for the given rt_rq.
This fixes a BUG at kernel/sched/rt.c:687! in __disable_runtime
when we try reclaim runtime lent to other rt_rq but runtime has
been lent to a rt_rq in another rd.
For some reason they didn't get replaced so far by their
paravirt equivalents, resulting in code to be run with
interrupts disabled that doesn't expect so (causing, in the
observed case, a BUG_ON() to trigger) when syscall auditing is
enabled.

be taken to count as an ack from him.

slub: assign refcount for kmalloc_caches
This is for stable-3.7.y only and this problem has already been solved
in mainline through some slab/slub re-work which isn't suitable to
backport here. See create_kmalloc_cache() in mm/slab_common.c there.
commit cce89f4f6911286500cf7be0363f46c9b0a12ce0('Move kmem_cache
refcounting to common code') moves some refcount manipulation code to
common code. Unfortunately, it also removed refcount assignment for
kmalloc_caches. So, kmalloc_caches's refcount is initially 0.
This makes erroneous situation.
Paul Hargrove report that when he create a 8-byte kmem_cache and
destory it, he encounter below message.
'Objects remaining in kmalloc-8 on kmem_cache_close()'
8-byte kmem_cache merge with 8-byte kmalloc cache and refcount is
increased by one. So, resulting refcount is 1. When destroy it, it hit
refcount = 0, then kmem_cache_close() is executed and error message is
printed.
This patch assign initial refcount 1 to kmalloc_caches, so fix this
erroneous situation.

and started using something from the same cacheline instead. On the
bug reporter's machine this broke entering rc6 states after a
suspend/resume cycle. It turns out reading ECOBUS as posting read
worked fine, while GTFIFODBG did not, preventing RC6 states after
suspend/resume per the bug report referenced below. It's not entirely
clear why, but clearly GTFIFODBG was nowhere near the same cacheline
or address range as FORCEWAKE.
Trying out various registers for posting reads showed that all tested
registers for which NEEDS_FORCE_WAKE() (in i915_drv.c) returns true
work. Conversely, most (but not quite all) registers for which
NEEDS_FORCE_WAKE() returns false do not work. Details in the referenced
bug.
Based on the above, add posting reads on ECOBUS where GTFIFODBG was
previously relied on.
In true cargo cult spirit, add posting reads for FORCEWAKE_VLV writes as
well, but instead of ECOBUS, use FORCEWAKE_ACK_VLV which is in the same
address range as FORCEWAKE_VLV.

There is a logic inversion in xfssyncd_worker() which means that the
log is not periodically forced or idled correctly. This means that
metadata changes aggregated in memory do not get flushed in a timely
manner, and hence if filesystem is not cleanly unmounted those
changes can be lost. This loss can manifest itself even hours after
the changes were made if the filesystem is left to idle without a
sync() occurring between the last modification and the
crash/shutdown occuring.

The problem occurs when iptables constructs the tcp reset packet.
It doesn't initialize the pointer to the tcp header within the skb.
When the skb is passed to the ixgbe driver for transmit, the ixgbe
driver attempts to access the tcp header and crashes.
Currently, other drivers (such as our 1G e1000e or igb drivers) don't
access the tcp header on transmit unless the TSO option is turned on.
If one (but not both) allocations of p->chunks[].kpage[]
in radeon_cs_parser_init fail, the error path will free
the successfully allocated page, but leave a stale pointer
value in the kpage[] field. This will later cause a
double-free when radeon_cs_parser_fini is called.
This patch fixes the issue by forcing both pointers to NULL
after kfree in the error path.
The circumstances under which the problem happens are very
rare. The card must be AGP and the system must run out of
kmalloc area just at the right time so that one allocation
succeeds, while the other fails.

block number returned is corrupt, but is otherwise intact) and we
try to read from the corrupted block address.
In this case, just fail the lookup. If it is readahead being issued,
it will simply not be done, but if it is real read that fails we
will get an error being reported. Ideally this case should result
in an EFSCORRUPTED error being reported, but we cannot return an

Originally 'efi_enabled' indicated whether a kernel was booted from
EFI firmware. Over time its semantics have changed, and it now
indicates whether or not we are booted on an EFI machine with
bit-native firmware, e.g. 64-bit kernel with 64-bit firmware.
The immediate motivation for this patch is the bug report at,
which details how running a platform driver on an EFI machine that is
designed to run under BIOS can cause the machine to become
bricked. Also, the following report,
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121
details how running said driver can also cause Machine Check
Exceptions. Drivers need a new means of detecting whether they're
running on an EFI machine, as sadly the expression,
if (!efi_enabled)
hasn't been a sufficient condition for quite some time.
Users actually want to query 'efi_enabled' for different reasons -
what they really want access to is the list of available EFI
facilities.
For instance, the x86 reboot code needs to know whether it can invoke
the ResetSystem() function provided by the EFI runtime services, while
the ACPI OSL code wants to know whether the EFI config tables were
mapped successfully. There are also checks in some of the platform
driver code to simply see if they're running on an EFI machine (which
would make it a bad idea to do BIOS-y things).
This patch is a prereq for the samsung-laptop fix patch.

At the moment the MSR driver only relies upon file system
checks. This means that anything as root with any capability set
can write to MSRs. Historically that wasn't very interesting but
on modern processors the MSRs are such that writing to them
provides several ways to execute arbitary code in kernel space.
Sample code and documentation on doing this is circulating and
MSR attacks are used on Windows 64bit rootkits already.
In the Linux case you still need to be able to open the device
file so the impact is fairly limited and reduces the security of
some capability and security model based systems down towards
that of a generic "root owns the box" setup.
Therefore they should require CAP_SYS_RAWIO to prevent an
elevation of capabilities. The impact of this is fairly minimal
on most setups because they don't have heavy use of
capabilities. Those using SELinux, SMACK or AppArmor rules might
want to consider if their rulesets on the MSR driver could be
tighter.

Patch to add the Formosa Industrial Computing, Inc. Infrared Receiver
[IR605A/Q] to hid-ids.h and hid-quirks.c. This IR receiver causes about a 10
second timeout when the usbhid driver attempts to initialze the device. Adding
this device to the quirks list with HID_QUIRK_NO_INIT_REPORTS removes the
delay.
NFS4ERR_DELAY is a legal reply when we call DESTROY_SESSION. It
usually means that the server is busy handling an unfinished RPC
request. Just sleep for a second and then retry.
We also need to be able to handle the NFS4ERR_BACK_CHAN_BUSY return
value. If the NFS server has outstanding callbacks, we just want to
similarly sleep & retry.
If walking the list in nfs4[01]_walk_client_list fails, then the most
likely explanation is that the server dropped the clientid before we
actually managed to confirm it. As long as our nfs_client is the very
last one in the list to be tested, the caller can be assured that this
is the case when the final return value is NFS4ERR_STALE_CLIENTID.

The reference counting in nfs4_init_client assumes wongly that it
is safe for nfs4_discover_server_trunking() to return a pointer to a
nfs_client prior to bumping the reference count.

Ensure that any setattr and getattr requests for junctions and/or
mountpoints are sent to the server. Ever since commit 0ec26fd0698 (vfs: automount should ignore LOOKUP_FOLLOW), we have
silently dropped any setattr requests to a server-side mountpoint.
For referrals, we have silently dropped both getattr and setattr
requests.
This patch restores the original behaviour for setattr on mountpoints,
and tries to do the same for referrals, provided that we have a
filehandle...
Currently, nfs_xdev_mount converts all errors from clone_server() to
ENOMEM, which can then leak to userspace (for instance to 'mount'). Fix that.
Also ensure that if nfs_fs_mount_common() returns an error, we
don't dprintk(0)...
DMAR support on g4x/gm45 integrated gpus seems to be totally busted.
So don't bother, but instead disable it by default to allow distros to
unconditionally enable DMAR support.
v2: Actually wire up the right quirk entry, spotted by Adam Jackson.
Note that according to intel marketing materials only g45 and gm45
support DMAR/VT-d. So we have reports for all relevant gen4 pci ids by
now. Still, keep all the other gen4 ids in the quirk table in case the
marketing stuff confused me again, which would not be the first time.

For non-snoop mode, we fiddle with the page attributes of CORB/RIRB
and the position buffer, but also the ring buffers. The problem is
that the current code blindly assumes that the buffer is contiguous.
However, the ring buffers may be SG-buffers, thus a wrong vmapped
address is passed there, leading to Oops.
A Packard-Bell desktop machine gives no proper pin configuration from
BIOS. It's almost equivalent with the 6stack+fp standard config, just
take the existing fixup.
Commit 23caaf19b11e (ALSA: usb-mixer: Add support for Audio Class v2.0)
forgot to adjust the length check for UAC 2.0 feature unit descriptors.
This would make the code abort on encountering a feature unit without
per-channel controls, and thus prevented the driver to work with any
device having such a unit, such as the RME Babyface or Fireface UCX.

The commit "ath9k: fix rx flush handling" added a deadlock that happens
because ath_rx_tasklet is called in a section that has already taken the
rx buffer lock.
It seems that the only purpose of the rxbuflock was a band-aid fix to the
reset vs rx tasklet race, which has been properly fixed in the commit
"ath9k: add a better fix for the rx tasklet vs rx flush race".
Now that the fix is in, we can safely remove the lock to avoid such issues.

Right now the rx flush is not doing anything useful on AR9003+, as it only
works if the buffers in the rx FIFO have not been purged yet, as is done
by ath_stoprecv.
To fix this, always call ath_flushrecv from within ath_stoprecv before
the FIFO is emptied, but still after the hw receive path has been stopped.
This ensures that frames received (and ACKed by the hardware) shortly before
a reset will be seen by the software, which should improve A-MPDU session
stability.

Ensure that the rx tasklet is no longer running when entering the reset path.
Also remove the distinction between flush and no-flush frame processing.
If a frame has been received and ACKed by the hardware, the stack needs to see

During FT roaming, wpa_supplicant attempts to set the
key before association. This used to be rejected, but
as a side effect of my commit 66e67e418908442389d3a9e
("mac80211: redesign auth/assoc") the key was accepted
causing hardware crypto to not be used for it as the
station isn't added to the driver yet.
It would be possible to accept the key and then add it
to the driver when the station has been added. However,
this may run into issues with drivers using the state-
based station adding if they accept the key only after
association like it used to be.
For now, revert to the behaviour from before the auth
and assoc change.
mac80211: Optimize scans on current operating channel.
we do not disable PS while going back to operational channel (on
ieee80211_scan_state_suspend) and deffer that until scan finish.
But since we are allowed to send frames, we can send a frame to AP
without PM bit set, so disable PS on AP side. Then when we switch
to off-channel (in ieee80211_scan_state_resume) we do not enable PS.
Hence we are off-channel with PS disabled, frames are not buffered
by AP.
To fix remove offchannel_ps_disable argument and always enable PS when
going off-channel and disable it when going on-channel, like it was
before.
Before attempting to activate a RAID array, it is checked for sufficient
redundancy. That is, we make sure that there are not too many failed
devices - or devices specified for rebuild - to undermine our ability to
activate the array. The current code performs this check twice - once to
ensure there were not too many devices specified for rebuild by the user
('validate_rebuild_devices') and again after possibly experiencing a failure
to read the superblock ('analyse_superblocks'). Neither of these checks are
sufficient. The first check is done properly but with insufficient
information about the possible failure state of the devices to make a good
determination if the array can be activated. The second check is simply
done wrong in the case of RAID10 because it doesn't account for the
independence of the stripes (i.e. mirror sets). The solution is to use the
properly written check ('validate_rebuild_devices'), but perform the check
after the superblocks have been read and we know which devices have failed.
This gives us one check instead of two and performs it in a location where
it can be done right.
Only RAID10 was affected and it was affected in the following ways:
- the code did not properly catch the condition where a user specified
a device for rebuild that already had a failed device in the same mirror
set. (This condition would, however, be caught at a deeper level in MD.)
- the code triggers a false positive and denies activation when devices in
independent mirror sets have failed - counting the failures as though they
were all in the same set.
The most likely place this error was introduced (or this patch should have
been included) is in commit 4ec1e369 - first introduced in v3.7-rc1.
Consequently this fix should also go in v3.7.y, however there is a
small conflict on the .version in raid_target, so I'll submit a
separate patch to -stable.
The .tx() callback function can drop packets when there is no
space in the DMA fifo. Propagate that information to caller
and make sure the freed sk_buff reference is not accessed.

Currently "adapter->config_bands" is updated during infra
association only if channel is provided by user in "iw connect"
command. config_bands is used while preparing association
request to calculate supported rates by intersecting our rates
with the rates advertised by AP.
There is corner case in which we include zero rates in
supported rates TLV based on previous IBSS network history,
which leads to association failure.
This patch fixes the problem by correctly updating config_bands.

On SNB, if bit 13 of GFX_MODE, Flush TLB Invalidate Mode, is not set to 1,
the hardware can not program the scanline values. Those scanline values
then control when the signal is sent from the display engine to the render
ring for MI_WAIT_FOR_EVENTs. Note setting this bit means that TLB
invalidations must be performed explicitly through the appropriate bits
being set in PIPE_CONTROL.

On s390, an architecture-specific implementation of the function
pmdp_set_wrprotect() is missing and the generic version is currently
being used. The generic version does not flush the tlb as it would be
needed on s390 when modifying an active pmd, which can lead to subtle
tlb errors on s390 when using transparent hugepages.
This patch adds an s390-specific implementation of pmdp_set_wrprotect()
including the missing tlb flush.
Running AIO is pinning inode in memory using file reference. Once AIO
is completed using aio_complete(), file reference is put and inode can
be freed from memory. So we have to be sure that calling aio_complete()
is the last thing we do with the inode.

The IOMMU may stop processing page translations due to a perceived lack
of credits for writing upstream peripheral page service request (PPR)
or event logs. If the L2B miscellaneous clock gating feature is enabled
the IOMMU does not properly register credits after the log request has
completed, leading to a potential system hang.
BIOSes are supposed to disable L2B micellaneous clock gating by setting
L2_L2B_CK_GATE_CONTROL[CKGateL2BMiscDisable](D0F2xF4_x90[2]) = 1b. This
patch corrects that for those which do not enable this workaround.

If a system with a TC3589x expander is booted and a base
IRQ is passed from platform data, a legacy domain will
be used. However, since the Ux500 is now switched to use
SPARSE_IRQ, no descriptors get allocated on-the-fly,
and we get a crash.
Fix this by switching to using the simple irqdomain that
will handle this uniformly and also allocates descriptors
explicitly.

we're at it.

__hyp_stub_install duplicates quite a bit of safe_svcmode_maskall
by forcing the CPU back to SVC. This is unnecessary, as
safe_svcmode_maskall is called just after.
Furthermore, the way we build SPSR_hyp is buggy as we fail to mask
the interrupts, leading to interesting behaviours on TC2 + UEFI.
The fix is to simply remove this code and rely on safe_svcmode_maskall
to do the right thing.
