2018-02-06drm/i915/cmdparser: Check reg_table_count before derefencing.Michal Srb
The find_reg function was assuming that there is always at least one table in reg_tables. It is not always true. In case of VCS or VECS, the reg_tables is NULL and reg_table_count is 0, implying that no register-accessing commands are allowed. However, the command tables include commands such as MI_STORE_REGISTER_MEM. When trying to check such command, the find_reg would dereference NULL pointer. Now it will just return NULL meaning that the register was not found and the command will be rejected.

2018-02-06drm/i915/bxt, glk: Increase PCODE timeouts during CDCLK freq changingImre Deak
Currently we see sporadic timeouts during CDCLK changing both on BXT and GLK as reported by the Bugzilla: ticket. It's easy to reproduce this by changing the frequency in a tight loop after blanking the display. The upper bound for the completion time is 800us based on my tests, so increase it from the current 500us to 2ms; with that I couldn't trigger the problem either on BXT or GLK. Note that timeouts happened during both the change notification and the voltage level setting PCODE request. (For the latter one BSpec doesn't require us to wait for completion before further HW programming.) This issue is similar to commit 2c7d0602c815 ("drm/i915/gen9: Fix PCODE polling during CDCLK change notification") but there the PCODE request does complete (as shown by the mbox busy flag), only the reply we get from PCODE indicates a failure. So there we keep resending the request until a success reply, here we just have to increase the timeout for the one PCODE request we send. v2: - s/snb_pcode_request/sandybridge_pcode_write_timeout/ (Ville) Cc: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Cc: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v4.4+ Acked-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> (v1) Bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103326 Reviewed-by: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Imre Deak <imre.deak@intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20180130142939.17983-1-imre.deak@intel.com (cherry picked from commit e76019a81921e87a4d9e7b3d86102bc708a6c227) Signed-off-by: Rodrigo Vivi <rodrigo.vivi@intel.com>
2018-02-06drm/i915/gvt: Use KVM r/w to access guest opregionTina Zhang
For KVMGT, the guest opregion, which is handled by VFIO, is actually a piece of guest memory which won't be accessed by devices. So, its mfn shouldn't be obtained through VFIO interface. This patch uses KVM r/w interface to access the data in guest opregion. Fix the guest opregion accessing issue when host "intel_iommu=on". v3: - Remove mapped flag for KVM/VFIO usage, as it's useless for KVM. v2: - Set the gpa correctly when invoking KVM r/w operations.

2018-02-06drm/i915/gvt: Fix aperture read/write emulation when enable x-no-mmap=onChangbin Du
When add 'x-no-mmap=on' for vfio-pci option, aperture access in guest is emulated. But the vgpu_aperture_rw() function take wrong offset when do memcpy, since vgpu->gm.aperture_va is not the base of entire aperture. This mistake cause GPU command in guest get lost and so the seqno is not updated in engine HWSP. This patch fix this, and it also move the emulation code to kvmgt. Because only vfio need to emulate it. Put aperture rw to MMIO emulation path breaks assumptions in xengt. v2: Remove PAGE_ALIGN for size (zhenyu) Fixes: f090a00df9ec ("drm/i915/gvt: Add emulation for BAR2 (aperture) with normal file RW approach") Signed-off-by: Changbin Du <changbin.du@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Zhi Wang <zhi.a.wang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rodrigo Vivi <rodrigo.vivi@intel.com>

Only reset vgpu execlist state of the exact engine which gets reset request from VM. After read context status from HWSP enabled, KMD will use the saved CSB read pointer but not always read from MMIO.

The Rockchip LVDS driver fails to build after commit 23c35f48f5fb ("pinctrl: remove include file from <linux/device.h>") because it relies on the pinctrl/consumer.h and pinctrl/devinfo.h being pulled in by the device.h header implicitly.

2018-02-05net/mlx5: increase async EQ to avoid EQ overrunMax Gurtovoy
Currently the async EQ has 256 entries only. It might not be big enough for the SW to handle all the needed pending events. For example, in case of many QPs (let's say 1024) connected to a SRQ created using NVMeOF target and the target goes down, the FW will raise 1024 "last WQE reached" events and may cause EQ overrun. Increase the EQ to more reasonable size, that beyond it the FW should be able to delay the event and raise it later on using internal backpressure mechanism.

2018-02-05RDMA/hns: Fix the endian problem for hnsoulijun
The hip06 and hip08 run on a little endian ARM, it needs to revise the annotations to indicate that the HW uses little endian data in the various DMA buffers, and flow the necessary swaps throughout. The imm_data use big endian mode. The cpu_to_le32/le32_to_cpu swaps are no-op for this, which makes the only substantive change the handling of imm_data which is now mandatory swapped. This also keep match with the userspace hns driver and resolve the warning by sparse. Signed-off-by: Lijun Ou <oulijun@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Doug Ledford <dledford@redhat.com>
2018-02-05cpufreq: Skip cpufreq resume if it's not suspendedBo Yan
cpufreq_resume can be called even without preceding cpufreq_suspend. This can happen in following scenario: suspend_devices_and_enter --> dpm_suspend_start --> dpm_prepare --> device_prepare : this function errors out --> dpm_suspend: this is skipped due to dpm_prepare failure this means cpufreq_suspend is skipped over --> goto Recover_platform, due to previous error --> goto Resume_devices --> dpm_resume_end --> dpm_resume --> cpufreq_resume In case schedutil is used as frequency governor, cpufreq_resume will eventually call sugov_start, which does following: memset(sg_cpu, 0, sizeof(*sg_cpu)); .... This effectively erases function pointer for frequency update, causing crash later on. The function pointer would have been set correctly if subsequent cpufreq_add_update_util_hook runs successfully, but that function returns earlier because cpufreq_suspend was not called: if (WARN_ON(per_cpu(cpufreq_update_util_data, cpu))) return; The fix is to check cpufreq_suspended first, if it's false, that means cpufreq_suspend was not called in the first place, so do not resume cpufreq.

This is good, but still leaves a lot of kernel memory available to be copied to/from userspace in the face of bugs. To further restrict what memory is available for copying, this creates a way to whitelist specific areas of a given slab cache object for copying to/from userspace, allowing much finer granularity of access control. Slab caches that are never exposed to userspace can declare no whitelist for their objects, thereby keeping them unavailable to userspace via dynamic copy operations. (Note, an implicit form of whitelisting is the use of constant sizes in usercopy operations and get_user()/put_user(); these bypass all hardened usercopy checks since these sizes cannot change at runtime.) This new check is WARN-by-default, so any mistakes can be found over the next several releases without breaking anyone's system. The series has roughly the following sections: - remove %p and improve reporting with offset - prepare infrastructure and whitelist kmalloc - update VFS subsystem with whitelists - update SCSI subsystem with whitelists - update network subsystem with whitelists - update process memory with whitelists - update per-architecture thread_struct with whitelists - update KVM with whitelists and fix ioctl bug - mark all other allocations as not whitelisted - update lkdtm for more sensible test overage" * tag 'usercopy-v4.16-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux: (38 commits) lkdtm: Update usercopy tests for whitelisting usercopy: Restrict non-usercopy caches to size 0 kvm: x86: fix KVM_XEN_HVM_CONFIG ioctl kvm: whitelist struct kvm_vcpu_arch arm: Implement thread_struct whitelist for hardened usercopy arm64: Implement thread_struct whitelist for hardened usercopy x86: Implement thread_struct whitelist for hardened usercopy fork: Provide usercopy whitelisting for task_struct fork: Define usercopy region in thread_stack slab caches fork: Define usercopy region in mm_struct slab caches net: Restrict unwhitelisted proto caches to size 0 sctp: Copy struct sctp_sock.autoclose to userspace using put_user() sctp: Define usercopy region in SCTP proto slab cache caif: Define usercopy region in caif proto slab cache ip: Define usercopy region in IP proto slab cache net: Define usercopy region in struct proto slab cache scsi: Define usercopy region in scsi_sense_cache slab cache cifs: Define usercopy region in cifs_request slab cache vxfs: Define usercopy region in vxfs_inode slab cache ufs: Define usercopy region in ufs_inode_cache slab cache ...

2018-02-03firmware: dmi_scan: Fix handling of empty DMI stringsJean Delvare
The handling of empty DMI strings looks quite broken to me: * Strings from 1 to 7 spaces are not considered empty. * True empty DMI strings (string index set to 0) are not considered empty, and result in allocating a 0-char string. * Strings with invalid index also result in allocating a 0-char string. * Strings starting with 8 spaces are all considered empty, even if non-space characters follow (sounds like a weird thing to do, but I have actually seen occurrences of this in DMI tables before.) * Strings which are considered empty are reported as 8 spaces, instead of being actually empty. Some of these issues are the result of an off-by-one error in memcmp, the rest is incorrect by design. So let's get it square: missing strings and strings made of only spaces, regardless of their length, should be treated as empty and no memory should be allocated for them. All other strings are non-empty and should be allocated.
