2018-05-01Input: atmel_mxt_ts - add missing compatible strings to OF device tableJavier Martinez Canillas1-0/+7
Commit af503716ac14 ("i2c: core: report OF style module alias for devices registered via OF") fixed how the I2C core reports the module alias when devices are registered via OF. But the atmel_mxt_ts driver only has an "atmel,maxtouch" compatible in its OF device ID table, so if a Device Tree is using a different one, autoload won't be working for the module (the matching works because the I2C device ID table is used as a fallback). So add compatible strings for each of the entries in the I2C device table.

As reported by several folks systemd and other applications rely on the documented behaviour of CLOCK_MONOTONIC on Linux and break with the above changes. After resume daemons time out and other timeout related issues are observed. Rafael compiled this list: * systemd kills daemons on resume, after >WatchdogSec seconds of suspending (Genki Sky). [Verified that that's because systemd uses CLOCK_MONOTONIC and expects it to not include the suspend time.] * systemd-journald misbehaves after resume: systemd-journald[7266]: File /var/log/journal/016627c3c4784cd4812d4b7e96a34226/system.journal corrupted or uncleanly shut down, renaming and replacing. (Mike Galbraith). * NetworkManager reports "networking disabled" and networking is broken after resume 50% of the time (Pavel). [May be because of systemd.] * MATE desktop dims the display and starts the screensaver right after system resume (Pavel). * Full system hang during resume (me). [May be due to systemd or NM or both.] That happens on debian and open suse systems. It's sad, that these problems were neither catched in -next nor by those folks who expressed interest in this change. Reported-by: Rafael J.

2018-04-24ipconfig: Write NTP server IPs to /proc/net/ipconfig/ntp_serversChris Novakovic1-6/+29
Distributed filesystems are most effective when the server and client clocks are synchronised. Embedded devices often use NFS for their root filesystem but typically do not contain an RTC, so the clocks of the NFS server and the embedded device will be out-of-sync when the root filesystem is mounted (and may not be synchronised until late in the boot process). Extend ipconfig with the ability to export IP addresses of NTP servers it discovers to /proc/net/ipconfig/ntp_servers. They can be supplied as follows: - If ipconfig is configured manually via the "ip=" or "nfsaddrs=" kernel command line parameters, one NTP server can be specified in the new "<ntp0-ip>" parameter. - If ipconfig is autoconfigured via DHCP, request DHCP option 42 in the DHCPDISCOVER message, and record the IP addresses of up to three NTP servers sent by the responding DHCP server in the subsequent DHCPOFFER message. ipconfig will only write the NTP server IP addresses it discovers to /proc/net/ipconfig/ntp_servers, one per line (in the order received from the DHCP server, if DHCP autoconfiguration is used); making use of these NTP servers is the responsibility of a user space process (e.g. an initrd/initram script that invokes an NTP client before mounting an NFS root filesystem).

2018-04-20arm/arm64: KVM: Add PSCI version selection APIMarc Zyngier2-1/+38
Although we've implemented PSCI 0.1, 0.2 and 1.0, we expose either 0.1 or 1.0 to a guest, defaulting to the latest version of the PSCI implementation that is compatible with the requested version. This is no different from doing a firmware upgrade on KVM. But in order to give a chance to hypothetical badly implemented guests that would have a fit by discovering something other than PSCI 0.2, let's provide a new API that allows userspace to pick one particular version of the API. This is implemented as a new class of "firmware" registers, where we expose the PSCI version. This allows the PSCI version to be save/restored as part of a guest migration, and also set to any supported version if the guest requires it.

2018-04-20net: ethernet: ave: add multiple clocks and resets support as required propertyKunihiko Hayashi1-1/+12
When the link is becoming up for Pro4 SoC, the kernel is stalled due to some missing clocks and resets. The AVE block for Pro4 is connected to the GIO bus in the SoC. Without its clock/reset, the access to the AVE register makes the system stall. In the same way, another MAC clock for Giga-bit Connection and the PHY clock are also required for Pro4 to activate the Giga-bit feature and to recognize the PHY. To satisfy these requirements, this patch adds support for multiple clocks and resets, and adds the clock-names and reset-names to the binding because we need to distinguish clock/reset for the AVE main block and the others. Also, make the resets a required property. Currently, "reset is optional" relies on that the bootloader or firmware has deasserted the reset before booting the kernel. Drivers should work without such expectation.

2018-04-20usb: host: xhci-plat: Fix clock resource by adding a register clockGregory CLEMENT1-1/+4
On Armada 7K/8K we need to explicitly enable the register clock. This clock is optional because not all the SoCs using this IP need it but at least for Armada 7K/8K it is actually mandatory. The change was done at xhci-plat level and not at a xhci-mvebu.c because, it is expected that other SoC would have this kind of constraint. The binding documentation is updating accordingly.

2018-04-18soc: ti: K2G: enhancement to support QMSS in K2G NAVSSMurali Karicheri1-1/+8
Navigator Subsystem (NAVSS) available on K2G SoC has a cut down version of QMSS with less number of queues, internal linking ram with lesser number of buffers etc. It doesn't have status and explicit push register space as in QMSS available on other K2 SoCs. So define reg indices specific to QMSS on K2G. This patch introduces "ti,66ak2g-navss-qm" compatibility to identify QMSS on K2G NAVSS and to customize the dts handling code. Per Device manual, descriptors with index less than or equal to regions0_size is in region 0 in the case of K2 QMSS where as for QMSS on K2G, descriptors with index less than regions0_size is in region 0. So update the size accordingly in the regions0_size bits of the linking ram size 0 register.

Currently, Documentation/i2c/dev-interface describes the use of i2c_smbus_* helper routines as static inlined functions provided by linux/i2c-dev.h. Work has been done to refactor the linux/i2c-dev.h file in the i2c-tools project out into its own library. As a result, these docs have become stale.

2018-04-17livepatch: Allow to call a custom callback when freeing shadow variablesPetr Mladek1-3/+7
We might need to do some actions before the shadow variable is freed. For example, we might need to remove it from a list or free some data that it points to. This is already possible now. The user can get the shadow variable by klp_shadow_get(), do the necessary actions, and then call klp_shadow_free(). This patch allows to do it a more elegant way. The user could implement the needed actions in a callback that is passed to klp_shadow_free() as a parameter. The callback usually does reverse operations to the constructor callback that can be called by klp_shadow_*alloc(). It is especially useful for klp_shadow_free_all(). There we need to do these extra actions for each found shadow variable with the given ID. Note that the memory used by the shadow variable itself is still released later by rcu callback. It is needed to protect internal structures that keep all shadow variables. But the destructor is called immediately. The shadow variable must not be access anyway after klp_shadow_free() is called. The user is responsible to protect this any suitable way. Be aware that the destructor is called under klp_shadow_lock. It is the same as for the contructor in klp_shadow_alloc().

2018-04-17livepatch: Initialize shadow variables safely by a custom callbackPetr Mladek1-9/+22
The existing API allows to pass a sample data to initialize the shadow data. It works well when the data are position independent. But it fails miserably when we need to set a pointer to the shadow structure itself. Unfortunately, we might need to initialize the pointer surprisingly often because of struct list_head. It is even worse because the list might be hidden in other common structures, for example, struct mutex, struct wait_queue_head. For example, this was needed to fix races in ALSA sequencer. It required to add mutex into struct snd_seq_client. See commit b3defb791b26ea06 ("ALSA: seq: Make ioctls race-free") and commit d15d662e89fc667b9 ("ALSA: seq: Fix racy pool initializations") This patch makes the API more safe. A custom constructor function and data are passed to klp_shadow_*alloc() functions instead of the sample data. Note that ctor_data are no longer a template for shadow->data. It might point to any data that might be necessary when the constructor is called. Also note that the constructor is called under klp_shadow_lock. It is an internal spin_lock that synchronizes alloc() vs. get() operations, see klp_shadow_get_or_alloc(). On one hand, this adds a risk of ABBA deadlocks. On the other hand, it allows to do some operations safely. For example, we could add the new structure into an existing list. This must be done only once when the structure is allocated.
