This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 3.4, that contain

This patch is intended to work around a known issue on the
SN65LVPE502CP USB3.0 re-driver that can delay the negotiation
between a device and the host past the usual handshake timeout.
If that happens on the first insertion, the host controller
port will enter in Compliance Mode and NO port status event will
be generated (as per xHCI Spec) making impossible to detect this
event by software. The port will remain in compliance mode until
a warm reset is applied to it.
As a result of this, the port will seem "dead" to the user and no
device connections or disconnections will be detected.
For solving this, the patch creates a timer which polls every 2
seconds the link state of each host controller's port (this
by reading the PORTSC register) and recovers the port by issuing a
Warm reset every time Compliance mode is detected.
If a xHC USB3.0 port has previously entered to U0, the compliance
mode issue will NOT occur only until system resumes from
sleep/hibernate, therefore, the compliance mode timer is stopped
when all xHC USB 3.0 ports have entered U0. The timer is initialized
again after each system resume.
Since the issue is being caused by a piece of hardware, the timer
will be enabled ONLY on those systems that have the SN65LVPE502CP
installed (this patch uses DMI strings for detecting those systems)
therefore making this patch to act as a quirk (XHCI_COMP_MODE_QUIRK
has been added to the xhci stack).
This patch applies for these systems:
Vendor: Hewlett-Packard. System Models: Z420, Z620 and Z820.
This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 3.2, as that was
the first kernel to support warm reset. The kernels will need to
contain both commit 10d674a82e553cb8a1f41027bb3c3e309b3f6804 "USB: When
hot reset for USB3 fails, try warm reset" and commit
8bea2bd37df08aaa599aa361a9f8b836ba98e554 "usb: Add support for root hub
port status CAS". The first patch add warm reset support, and the
second patch modifies the USB core to issue a warm reset when the port
is in compliance mode.

My test platform (Intel DX79SI) boots reliably under BIOS, but frequently
crashes when booting via UEFI. I finally tracked this down to the xhci
handoff code. It seems that reads from the device occasionally just return
0xff, resulting in xhci_find_next_cap_offset generating a value that's
larger than the resource region. We then oops when attempting to read the
value. Sanity checking that value lets us avoid the crash.
I've no idea what's causing the underlying problem, and xhci still doesn't
actually *work* even with this, but the machine at least boots which will
probably make further debugging easier.
This should be backported to kernels as old as 2.6.31, that contain the
commit 66d4eadd8d067269ea8fead1a50fe87c2979a80d "USB: xhci: BIOS handoff

The intent was to test whether the flag was set.
This patch should be backported to stable kernels as old as 3.0, since
it fixes a bug in commit e95829f474f0db3a4d940cae1423783edd966027 "xhci:

This patch fixes a race condition that results in memory
corruption when using cleancache.
The race exists between the zcache shrinker handler,
shrink_zcache_memory() and cleancache_get_page().
In most cases, the shrinker will both evict a zbpg
from its buddy list and flush it from tmem before a
cleancache_get_page() occurs on that page. A subsequent
cleancache_get_page() will fail in the tmem layer.
In the rare case that two occur together and the
cleancache_get_page() path gets through the tmem
layer before the shrinker path can flush tmem,
zbud_decompress() does a check to see if the zbpg is a
"zombie", i.e. not on a buddy list, which means the shrinker
is in the process of reclaiming it. If the zbpg is a zombie,
zbud_decompress() returns -EINVAL.
However, this return code is being ignored by the caller,
zcache_pampd_get_data_and_free(), which results in the
caller of cleancache_get_page() thinking that the page has
been properly retrieved when it has not.
This patch modifies zcache_pampd_get_data_and_free() to
convey the failure up the stack so that the caller of
cleancache_get_page() knows the page retrieval failed.
This needs to be applied to stable trees as well.
zcache-main.c was named zcache.c before v3.1, so
I'm not sure how you want to handle trees earlier
than that.

When the interface is down, the hardware is powered off.
However, the suspend handler currently tries to send host sleep commands
(when wakeup params are set) in this configuration, causing a system hang
when going into suspend (the commands will never complete).
Avoid this by detecting this situation and simply returning from
the suspend handler without doing anything special.

On our system (ARM Cortex-M3 SOC running linux-2.6.33)
frequent crashes were observed in the rt2800usb module
because of the invalid length of the received packet (3392,
46920...). This patch adds the sanity check on the packet
legth. Also, changed WARNING to ERROR in rt2x00lib_rxdone()
so that the bad packet condition would be noticed.
The fix was tested on the latest compat-wireless-3.5.1-1-snpc.

We need to program the rfkill switch GPIO pin direction to input at
device initialization time, not only when the interface is brought up.
Doing this only when the interface is brought up could lead to rfkill
detecting the switch is turned on erroneously and inability to create
the interface and bringing it up.

Generic timers for BTCOEX functionality is applicable
only for 3 WIRE BTCOEX (and MCI) chipsets.
Hence btcoex->no_stomp_timer is allocated only 3 WIRE
btcoex chipsets and in all the other cases its NULL.
Make sure we stop the generic timer only if
'btcoex->hw_timer_enabled' is true(only if its up and
running)

This feature had been disabled in ath9k because the code to support
it was incomplete, but now the code is in sync with the internal QCA
codebase, so it's time to enable it.
On many newer devices, the calibration is assumed to be done with PA
linearization enabled.
Tests with a particular AR933x device showed that the signal emitted
at full power was highly distorted and unreliable with PA linearization
disabled. With this patch, the signal becomes clear and stability
is improved.

When we send a command to firmware, we assumed that cmd_size
will be always less than or equal to the structure size of
host_cmd_ds_command. However, this is no longer true after
we added AP support. There are some AP commands that Custom
IE TLVs are included in command buffer, hence the cmd_size
gets enlarged by the TLV data. We need to increase the skb
length for the extra data.

When running 32-bit pvops-dom0 and a driver tries to allocate a coherent
DMA-memory the xen swiotlb-implementation returned memory beyond 4GB.
The underlaying reason is that if the supplied driver passes in a
DMA_BIT_MASK(64) ( hwdev->coherent_dma_mask is set to 0xffffffffffffffff)
our dma_mask will be u64 set to 0xffffffffffffffff even if we set it to
DMA_BIT_MASK(32) previously. Meaning we do not reset the upper bits.
By using the dma_alloc_coherent_mask function - it does the proper casting
and we get 0xfffffffff.
This caused not working sound on a system with 4 GB and a 64-bit
compatible sound-card with sets the DMA-mask to 64bit.
On bare-metal and the forward-ported xen-dom0 patches from OpenSuse a coherent
DMA-memory is always allocated inside the 32-bit address-range by calling
dma_alloc_coherent_mask.
This patch adds the same functionality to xen swiotlb and is a rebase of the
original patch from Ronny Hegewald which never got upstream b/c the
underlaying reason was not understood until now.

When a file is stored in ICB (inode), we overwrite part of the file, and
the page containing file's data is not in page cache, we end up corrupting
file's data by overwriting them with zeros. The problem is we use
simple_write_begin() which simply zeroes parts of the page which are not
written to. The problem has been introduced by be021ee4 (udf: convert to
new aops).
Fix the problem by providing a ->write_begin function which makes the page
properly uptodate.

We would traverse the full P2M top directory (from 0->MAX_DOMAIN_PAGES
inclusive) when trying to figure out whether we can re-use some of the

Which meant that if the kernel was compiled with MAX_DOMAIN_PAGES=512
we would try to use the 512th entry. Fortunately for us the p2m_top_index

patch_instruction() can be called very early on ppc32, when the kernel
isn't yet running at it's linked address. That can cause the !
is_kernel_addr() test in __put_user() to trip and call might_sleep()
which is very bad at that point during boot.
Use a lower level function instead for now, at least until we get to
rework ppc32 boot process to do the code patching later, like ppc64
does.

We have been observing hangs, both of KVM guest vcpu tasks and more
generally, where a process that is woken doesn't properly wake up and
continue to run, but instead sticks in TASK_WAKING state. This
happens because the update of rq->wake_list in ttwu_queue_remote()
is not ordered with the update of ipi_message in
smp_muxed_ipi_message_pass(), and the reading of rq->wake_list in
scheduler_ipi() is not ordered with the reading of ipi_message in
smp_ipi_demux(). Thus it is possible for the IPI receiver not to see
the updated rq->wake_list and therefore conclude that there is nothing
for it to do.
In order to make sure that anything done before smp_send_reschedule()
is ordered before anything done in the resulting call to scheduler_ipi(),
this adds barriers in smp_muxed_message_pass() and smp_ipi_demux().
The barrier in smp_muxed_message_pass() is a full barrier to ensure that
there is a full ordering between the smp_send_reschedule() caller and
scheduler_ipi(). In smp_ipi_demux(), we use xchg() rather than
xchg_local() because xchg() includes release and acquire barriers.
Using xchg() rather than xchg_local() makes sense given that
ipi_message is not just accessed locally.
This moves the barrier between setting the message and calling the
cause_ipi() function into the individual cause_ipi implementations.
Most of them -- those that used outb, out_8 or similar -- already had
a full barrier because out_8 etc. include a sync before the MMIO
store. This adds an explicit barrier in the two remaining cases.
These changes made no measurable difference to the speed of IPIs as
measured using a simple ping-pong latency test across two CPUs on
different cores of a POWER7 machine.
The analysis of the reason why processes were not waking up properly
is due to Milton Miller.

During a context switch we always restore the per thread DSCR value.
If we aren't doing explicit DSCR management
(ie thread.dscr_inherit == 0) and the default DSCR changed while
the process has been sleeping we end up with the wrong value.
Check thread.dscr_inherit and select the default DSCR or per thread
DSCR as required.
This was found with the following test case, when running with
more threads than CPUs (ie forcing context switching):
http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_default_test.c
With the four patches applied I can run a combination of all
test cases successfully at the same time:

If the default DSCR is non zero we set thread.dscr_inherit in
copy_thread() meaning the new thread and all its children will ignore
future updates to the default DSCR. This is not intended and is
a change in behaviour that a number of our users have hit.
We just need to inherit thread.dscr and thread.dscr_inherit from
the parent which ends up being much simpler.

When we update the DSCR either via emulation of mtspr(DSCR) or via
a change to dscr_default in sysfs we don't update thread.dscr.
We will eventually update it at context switch time but there is
a period where thread.dscr is incorrect.
If we fork at this point we will copy the old value of thread.dscr
into the child. To avoid this, always keep thread.dscr in sync with
reality.

Writing to dscr_default in sysfs doesn't actually change the DSCR -
we rely on a context switch on each CPU to do the work. There is no
guarantee we will get a context switch in a reasonable amount of time
so fire off an IPI to force an immediate change.

The CPU hotplug code for the powernv platform currently only puts
offline CPUs into nap mode if the powersave_nap variable is set.
However, HV-style KVM on this platform requires secondary CPU threads
to be offline and in nap mode. Since we know nap mode works just
fine on all POWER7 machines, and the only machines that support the
powernv platform are POWER7 machines, this changes the code to
always put offline CPUs into nap mode, regardless of powersave_nap.
Powersave_nap still controls whether or not CPUs go into nap mode
when idle, as before.

At the moment the handler for hypervisor decrementer interrupts is
the same as for decrementer interrupts, i.e. timer_interrupt().
This is bogus; if we ever do get a hypervisor decrementer interrupt
it won't have anything to do with the next timer event. In fact
the only time we get hypervisor decrementer interrupts is when one
is left pending on exit from a KVM guest.
When we get a hypervisor decrementer interrupt we don't need to do
anything special to clear it, since they are edge-triggered on the
transition of HDEC from 0 to -1. Thus this adds an empty handler
function for them. We don't need to have them masked when interrupts
are soft-disabled, so we use STD_EXCEPTION_HV instead of
MASKABLE_EXCEPTION_HV.

If NR_IRQS is less than MAX_IRQS, we end up writing past the
irq_target_cpu array in omap_wakeupgen_init():
/* Associate all the IRQs to boot CPU like GIC init does. */
for (i = 0; i < max_irqs; i++)
irq_target_cpu[i] = boot_cpu;
This can happen if SPARSE_IRQ is enabled as by default NR_IRQS is
set to 16. Without this patch we're overwriting other data during
the boot.
Looks like a similar fix was posted by Benoit Cousson earlier
as "ARM: OMAP2+: wakeupgen: Fix wrong array size for irq_target_cpu"
but was lost.

The compiler may compile the following code into TWO write/modify
instructions.
worker->flags &= ~WORKER_UNBOUND;
worker->flags |= WORKER_REBIND;
so the other CPU may temporarily see worker->flags which doesn't have
either WORKER_UNBOUND or WORKER_REBIND set and perform local wakeup
prematurely.
Fix it by using single explicit assignment via ACCESS_ONCE().
Because idle workers have another WORKER_NOT_RUNNING flag, this bug
doesn't exist for them; however, update it to use the same pattern for
consistency.
tj: Applied the change to idle workers too and updated comments and
patch description a bit.

With a previous patch to enable the EHCI/XHCI port switching, it switches
all the available ports.
The assumption is not correct because the BIOS may expect some ports
not switchable by the OS.
There are two more registers that contains the information of the switchable
and non-switchable ports.
This patch adds the checking code for the two register so that only the
switchable ports are altered.
This patch should be backported to kernels as old as 3.0, that contain
commit ID 69e848c2090aebba5698a1620604c7dccb448684 "Intel xhci: Support
