staging: comedi: das16m1: remove unnecessary ai 'cancel' operations
The comedi core will only call the (*insn_read) and (*do_cmd) functions
if the subdevice is not "busy". All async commands are terminated by
a (*cancel) operation which clears the INTE and PACER_MASK bits in the
interrupt control register. These bits are also cleared when the driver
first attaches. There is no need for the (*insn_read) or (*do_cmd) to
duplicate the cancel.

First round of IIO new device support, features and cleanups for the 4.8 cycle.
New device support
* ads1015
- add ads1115 support
* bma220 accelerometer
- new driver
- triggered buffer support.
* bmc150
- add bmm150 support.
* bmp280
- bme280 support with addition of humidity channel.
* max5487 potentiometer
- new driver
* MMA7660FC accelerometer.
- New driver
* st-pressure
- support for the lps22hb
* loop trigger.
- This one is *nasty* but we have real applications (parrot drones) where
it is useful. The trigger basically spins as hard as it can firing off
a new trigger each time all triggered devices come back to say they are
done. It doesn't hang a machine even when doing it on a dummy driver.
A lot nicer than having this implemented within lots of device drivers
anyway.
Core stuff
* Add support to create IIO devices via configfs (similar to we did for
triggers a while back) + docs.
* New channel types
- IIO_ELECTRICAL_CONDUCTIVITY
* Couple of MAINTAINERS patches to list the device tree bindings.
* Make trigger ops structure non optional (comment fix). It hasn't been for
an awful long time, but that's not what the description said.
New features
* ak8975
- support adapters that are limited to byte data only by allowing the
emulated block read i2c function that was recently introduced.
* atlas-ph
- support atlas-ec (electrical conductivity sensor)
* bmi160
- add available frequency and scale attributes to make the driver
more user friendly (and avoid having to read the datasheet to know
what will work).
* dummy
- move creation to configfs interface. It's not real hardware so we
are not that worried about the ABI breakage ;)
* mma8452
- oversampling ration support
* nau7802
- expose available gains to make life easier for userspace.
* st-sensors
- allow use of emulation for SMBus block reads as all the st parts support
it.
* ti-ads1015
- list datasheet names to allow their use by inkernel consumers.
* Various module alias additions to help auto probing. Drop one redundant one
as well.
Cleanups
* ad7266, ad7476, ad7887, ad7923, ad799x
- use direct mode claim function rather than open coding it during sensor
read (prevents switching on buffers mid read).
* ad7793, ad7791
- use direct mode claim to prevent frequency changes when buffers running.
* afe440x - These are ABI breaking but the driver requires custom userspace
code to do anything useful anyway and that is still being written and under
control of TI. Ultimately we may have other libraries to do pulse
oximetry with these devices but we aren't aware of any yet.
- kernel-doc format fixes
- drop ifdef fun around of_match_ptr - it's not worth the mess to save
a tiny amount of space.
- drop some unnecessary register initializations.
- drop the weird locked gain modes as they gain us nothing (can just set
all gains separately).
- remove handling of offset attributes seeing as no channels actually have
them (oops)
- Drop the LED3 input channel as it's an alias for ALED2.
- *big one* remove channel names - an experiment that turned out to not
make sense - see patch for details.
- use regmap fields to clean up code.
- tie the tia gain stages to appropriate channels in the ABI as that is
what they really effect. Same with the LED currents.
- cleanout some unused defines and fix a missnamed one.
* atlas-ph
- reorganise to allow support of other similar parts.
* bmc150
- document supported chips in kconfig help.
* jsa1212
- drop an unneeded i2c functionality check for functionality the driver
doesn't use.
* mxs-lradc
- simply touch screen registration code.
- remove the touch screen unregister as all devm based now.
- disable only those channels that are masked in hardware stop (others
are already dealt with elsewhere)
* st-sensors
- unexport st_sensors_get_buffer_element as nothing outside the st-sensors
core driver uses it.
- fix handling of failure to start up regulators.
* tpl0102
- drop an i2c functionality test for features that aren't needed.
* ti-am335x
- use variable name rather than type in sizeof for clarity.
- use SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS helper macro to tidy up a bit.
Tools
* Add install / uninstall to makefile. Someone cares, so presumably
some people will find it useful!
* generic_buffer
- rename to iio_generic_buffer to line up with other tools.
- handle cleanup when receiving signals
- Add a --device-num option and a --trigger-num option rather than
relying on naming which doesn't work if you have two of the same part.

This patch is necessary to enable ANY task mgmt command to complete
successfully via visorhba.
When issuing a task mgmt command (CMD_SCSITASKMGMT_TYPE) to the IO
partition (back-end), forward_taskmgmt_command() includes pointers
within the command area that will be used to wake up the issuing
process and provide the result when the command completes:
'notify_handle' is a pointer to a 'wait_queue_head_t' variable, and
'notifyresult' is a pointer to an int. Both of these are just local
stack variables in the issuing process.
The way it's supposed to happen is that when the IO partition completes
the command, in our completion handling we get copies of those pointers
back from the IO partition, where we stash the result of the command at
'*notifyresult' (which should not be 0xffff, because that is the initial
value that the caller is looking to see a change in), and wake up the
wait queue at '*notify_handle'. There are several places we do that dance,
but prior to this patch, we always do it WRONG, like:
The wake_up_all() part is correct (albeit with the help of the sloppy
pointer casting, but that's irrelevant to the bug), but the assignment of
'notifyresult_handle' is WRONG, and SHOULD read:
Without this change, the caller is NEVER going to notice a change in his
local value of 'notifyresult' when he does the:
if (!wait_event_timeout(notifyevent, notifyresult != 0xffff,
msecs_to_jiffies(45000)))
and hence will be timing out EVERY taskmgmt command.
This patch also eliminates the need for sloppy casting of pointers
back-and-forth between u64 values, with the help of idr_alloc() to provide
handles for us. It is the generated int handles we pass to the IO
partition to denote our completion context, and these are validated and
converted back to the required pointers when the task mgmt commands are
returned back to us by the IO partition.
== Testing ==
You must enable dynamic debugging in visorhba (build kernel with
'CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y', provide kernel parameter 'visorhba.dyndbg=+p')
to see kernel messages involved with visorhba scsi task mgmt commands,
which were added in this patch in the form of a few dev_dbg() / pr_debug()
messages.
In order to inject faults necessary to get visorhba to actully issue scsi
task mgmt commands, you will need to compile a kernel with
CONFIG_FAIL_IO_TIMEOUT and friends, in the "Kernel hacking" section:
* Enable "Fault-injection framework"
* Enable "Fault-injection capability for disk IO"
* Enable "Fault-injection capability for faking disk interrupts"
* Enable "Debugfs entries for fault-injection capabilities"
When running a kernel with those options, you can manually inject a fault
that will force a scsi task mgmt command to be issued like this:
# mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/fail_io_timeout
# cat interval
1
# cat probability
0
# cat times
1
# echo 100 >probability
# cd /sys/block/sda
# l | grep fail
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 May 5 10:53 io-timeout-fail
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 May 5 10:54 make-it-fail
# echo 1 >io-timeout-fail
# echo 1 >make-it-fail
To test this patch, after performing the above steps, I did something to
force a block device i/o, then shortly afterwards examined the kernel log.
There I found evidence that visorhba had successfully issued a task mgmt
command, and that it completed successfully:

devpts: Make each mount of devpts an independent filesystem.
The /dev/ptmx device node is changed to lookup the directory entry "pts"
in the same directory as the /dev/ptmx device node was opened in. If
there is a "pts" entry and that entry is a devpts filesystem /dev/ptmx
uses that filesystem. Otherwise the open of /dev/ptmx fails.
The DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES configuration option is removed, so that
userspace can now safely depend on each mount of devpts creating a new
instance of the filesystem.
Each mount of devpts is now a separate and equal filesystem.
Reserved ttys are now available to all instances of devpts where the
mounter is in the initial mount namespace.
A new vfs helper path_pts is introduced that finds a directory entry
named "pts" in the directory of the passed in path, and changes the
passed in path to point to it. The helper path_pts uses a function
path_parent_directory that was factored out of follow_dotdot.
In the implementation of devpts:
- devpts_mnt is killed as it is no longer meaningful if all mounts of
devpts are equal.
- pts_sb_from_inode is replaced by just inode->i_sb as all cached
inodes in the tty layer are now from the devpts filesystem.
- devpts_add_ref is rolled into the new function devpts_ptmx. And the
unnecessary inode hold is removed.
- devpts_del_ref is renamed devpts_release and reduced to just a
deacrivate_super.
- The newinstance mount option continues to be accepted but is now
ignored.
In devpts_fs.h definitions for when !CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS are removed as
they are never used.

slackware-14.1, gentoo-20151225 (13.0?), archlinux-2015-12-01. With the
caveat that on centos6 and on slackware-14.1 that there wind up being
two instances of the devpts filesystem mounted on /dev/pts, the lower
copy does not end up getting used.

This means the userspace program clock_adjtime called the clock_adjtime()
syscall and then crashed inside the compat_get_timex() function.
Syscalls should never crash programs, but instead return EFAULT.
The IIR register contains the executed instruction, which disassebles
into "ldw 0(sr3,r5),r9".
This load-word instruction is part of __get_user() which tried to read the word
at %r5/IOR (0xfa6f7fff). This means the unaligned handler jumped in. The
unaligned handler is able to emulate all ldw instructions, but it fails if it
fails to read the source e.g. because of page fault.
int main(void) {
/* allocate 8k */
char *ptr = mmap(NULL, 2*4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
/* free second half (upper 4k) and make it invalid. */
munmap(ptr+4096, 4096);
/* syscall where first int is unaligned and clobbers into invalid memory region */
/* syscall should return EFAULT */
return syscall(__NR_clock_adjtime, 0, ptr+4095);
}
To fix this issue we simply need to check if the faulting instruction address
is in the exception fixup table when the unaligned handler failed. If it
is, call the fixup routine instead of crashing.
While looking at the unaligned handler I found another issue as well: The
target register should not be modified if the handler was unsuccessful.

parisc: Fix backtrace on PA-RISC
This patch fixes backtrace on PA-RISC
There were several problems:
1) The code that decodes instructions handles instructions that subtract
from the stack pointer incorrectly. If the instruction subtracts the
number X from the stack pointer the code increases the frame size by
(0x100000000-X). This results in invalid accesses to memory and
recursive page faults.
2) Because gcc reorders blocks, handling instructions that subtract from
the frame pointer is incorrect. For example, this function
int f(int a)
{
if (__builtin_expect(a, 1))
return a;
g();
return a;
}
is compiled in such a way, that the code that decreases the stack
pointer for the first "return a" is placed before the code for "g" call.
If we recognize this decrement, we mistakenly believe that the frame
size for the "g" call is zero.
To fix problems 1) and 2), the patch doesn't recognize instructions that
decrease the stack pointer at all. To further safeguard the unwind code
against nonsense values, we don't allow frame size larger than
Total_frame_size.
3) The backtrace is not locked. If stack dump races with module unload,
invalid table can be accessed.
This patch adds a spinlock when processing module tables.
Note, that for correct backtrace, you need recent binutils.
Binutils 2.18 from Debian 5 produce garbage unwind tables.
Binutils 2.21 work better (it sometimes forgets function frames, but at
least it doesn't generate garbage).
