[ Upstream commit da8c87241c26aac81a64c7e4d21d438a33018f4e ]
There are two places to call vlan_set_encap_proto():
vlan_untag() and __pop_vlan_tci().
vlan_untag() assumes skb->data points after mac addr, otherwise
the following code
vhdr = (struct vlan_hdr *) skb->data;
vlan_tci = ntohs(vhdr->h_vlan_TCI);
__vlan_hwaccel_put_tag(skb, vlan_tci);
skb_pull_rcsum(skb, VLAN_HLEN);
won't be correct. But __pop_vlan_tci() assumes points _before_
mac addr.
In vlan_set_encap_proto(), it looks for some magic L2 value
after mac addr:
rawp = skb->data;
if (*(unsigned short *) rawp == 0xFFFF)
...
Therefore __pop_vlan_tci() is obviously wrong.
A quick fix is avoiding using skb->data in vlan_set_encap_proto(),
use 'vhdr+1' is always correct in both cases.

[ Upstream commit 5b0520425e5ea81ba95ec486dd6bbb59a09fff0e ]
Now we handle icmp errors in each transport protocol's err_handler,
for icmp protocols, that is ping_err. Since this handler only care
of those icmp errors triggered by echo request, errors triggered
by echo reply(which sent by kernel) are sliently ignored.
So wrap ping_err() with icmp_err() to deal with those icmp errors.

[ Upstream commit 08dcdbf6a7b9d14c2302c5bd0c5390ddf122f664 ]
It looks like its possible to open thousands of TCP IPv6
sessions on a server, all landing in a single slot of TCP hash
table. Incoming packets have to lookup sockets in a very
long list.
We should hash all bits from foreign IPv6 addresses, using
a salt and hash mix, not a simple XOR.
inet6_ehashfn() can also separately use the ports, instead
of xoring them.

Because we do not have any locks for dst_entry, we cannot change
essential structure in the entry; e.g., we cannot change reference
to other entity.
To fix this issue, split 'from' and 'expires' field in dst_entry
out of union. Once it is 'from' is assigned in the constructor,
keep the reference until the very last stage of the life time of
the object.
Of course, it is unsafe to change 'from', so make rt6_set_from simple
just for fresh entries.

commit 2a2483072393b27f4336ab068a1f48ca19ff1c1e upstream.
When we switch from 256->512 byte font rendering mode, it means the
current contents of the screen is being reinterpreted. The bit that holds
the high bit of the 9-bit font, may have been previously set, and thus
the new font misrenders.
The problem case we see is grub2 writes spaces with the bit set, so it
ends up with data like 0x820, which gets reinterpreted into 0x120 char
which the font translates into G with a circumflex. This flashes up on
screen at boot and is quite ugly.
A current side effect of this patch though is that any rendering on the
screen changes color to a slightly darker color, but at least the screen
no longer corrupts.
v2: as suggested by hpa, always clear the attribute space, whether we
are are going to or from 512 chars.

commit b531f81b0d70ffbe8d70500512483227cc532608 upstream.
Commit 99fc86450c439039d2ef88d06b222fd51a779176 "ALSA: usb-mixer:
parse descriptors with structs" introduced a set of useful parsers
for descriptors. Unfortunately the parses for the Processing Unit
Descriptor came with a very subtle bug...
Functions uac_processing_unit_iProcessing() and
uac_processing_unit_specific() were indexing the baSourceID array
forgetting the fields before the iProcessing and process-specific
descriptors.
The problem was observed with Sound Blaster Extigy mixer,
where nNrModes in Up/Down-mix Processing Unit Descriptor
was accessed at offset 10 of the descriptor (value 0)
instead of offset 15 (value 7). In result the resulting
control had interesting limit values:
Simple mixer control 'Channel Routing Mode Select',0
Capabilities: volume volume-joined penum
Playback channels: Mono
Capture channels: Mono
Limits: 0 - -1
Mono: -1 [100%]
Fixed by starting from the bmControls, which was calculated
correctly, instead of baSourceID.
Now the mentioned control is fine:
Simple mixer control 'Channel Routing Mode Select',0
Capabilities: volume volume-joined penum
Playback channels: Mono
Capture channels: Mono
Limits: 0 - 6
Mono: 0 [0%]

commit 513b032c98b4b9414aa4e9b4a315cb1bf0380101 upstream.
The PPS serial line discipline wants to attach a PPS device to a tty
without changing the tty code to add a struct pps_device * pointer.
Since the number of PPS devices in a typical system is generally very low
(n=1 is by far the most common), it's practical to search the entire list
of allocated pps devices. (We capture the timestamp before the lookup,
so the timing isn't affected.)
It is a bit ugly that this function, which is part of the in-kernel
PPS API, has to be in pps.c as opposed to kapi,c, but that's not
something that affects users.

automount-support is broken on the parisc architecture, because the existing
#if list does not include a check for defined(__hppa__). The HPPA (parisc)
architecture is similiar to other 64bit Linux targets where we have to define
autofs_wqt_t (which is passed back and forth to user space) as int type which
has a size of 32bit across 32 and 64bit kernels.
During the discussion on the mailing list, H. Peter Anvin suggested to invert
the #if list since only specific platforms (specifically those who do not have
a 32bit userspace, like IA64 and Alpha) should have autofs_wqt_t as unsigned
long type.
This suggestion is probably the best way to go, since Arm64 (and maybe others?)
seems to have a non-working automounter. So in the long run even for other new
upcoming architectures this inverted check seem to be the best solution, since
it will not require them to change this #if again (unless they are 64bit only).

The macro for_each_memcg_cache_index contains a silly yet potentially
deadly mistake. Although the macro parameter is _idx, the loop tests
are done over i, not _idx.
This hasn't generated any problems so far, because all users use i as a
loop index. However, while playing with an extension of the code I
ended using another loop index and the compiler was quick to complain.
Unfortunately, this is not the kind of thing that testing reveals =(

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,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557
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.

An issue has been reported where the PMIC either locks up or fails to
respond following a system Reset. This could result in a second write
in which the bus writes the current content of the write buffer to address
of the last I2C access.
The failure case is where this unwanted write transfers incorrect data to
a critical register.
This patch fixes this issue to by following any read or write with a dummy read
to a safe register address. A safe register address is one where the contents
will not affect the operation of the system.

This patch (as1649) adds a mechanism for host controller drivers to
inform usbcore when they have begun or ended resume signalling on a
particular root-hub port. The core will then make sure that the root
hub does not get runtime-suspended while the port resume is going on.
Since commit 596d789a211d134dc5f94d1e5957248c204ef850 (USB: set hub's
default autosuspend delay as 0), the system tries to suspend hubs
whenever they aren't in use. While a root-hub port is being resumed,
the root hub does not appear to be in use. Attempted runtime suspends
fail because of the ongoing port resume, but the PM core just keeps on
trying over and over again. We want to prevent this wasteful effort.

USB/xhci: Misc fixes for 3.8.
Hi Greg,
Here's six patches for xHCI and the USB core. There's a couple of
patches to fix xHCI 1.0 field formats, some memory leaks, dead ports,
and USB 3.0 remote wakeup disabling.
All of these are marked for stable.
I know I owe you some re-works of failed stable patches from my last
patchset round, but I don't think I'm going to get to them before I head

Usb3.0 device defines function remote wakeup which is only for interface
recipient rather than device recipient. This is different with usb2.0 device's
remote wakeup feature which is defined for device recipient. According usb3.0
spec 9.4.5, the function remote wakeup can be modified by the SetFeature()
requests using the FUNCTION_SUSPEND feature selector. This patch is to use
correct way to disable usb3.0 device's function remote wakeup after suspend
error and resuming.
This should be backported to kernels as old as 3.4, that contain the
commit 623bef9e03a60adc623b09673297ca7a1cdfb367 "USB/xhci: Enable remote

Cleanup and preparation for the next change.
signal_wake_up(resume => true) is overused. None of ptrace/jctl callers
actually want to wakeup a TASK_WAKEKILL task, but they can't specify the
necessary mask.
Turn signal_wake_up() into signal_wake_up_state(state), reintroduce
signal_wake_up() as a trivial helper, and add ptrace_signal_wake_up()
which adds __TASK_TRACED.
This way ptrace_signal_wake_up() can work "inside" ptrace_request()
even if the tracee doesn't have the TASK_WAKEKILL bit set.

Add support for the UART device present in Broadcom TruManage capable
NetXtreme chips (ie: 5761m 5762, and 5725).
This implementation has a hidden transmit FIFO, so running in single-byte
interrupt mode results in too many interrupts. The UART_CAP_HFIFO
capability was added to track this. It continues to reload the THR as long
as the THRE and TSRE bits are set in the LSR up to a specified limit (1024

If the default iosched is built as module, the kernel may deadlock
while trying to load the iosched module on device probe if the probing
was running off async. This is because async_synchronize_full() at
the end of module init ends up waiting for the async job which
initiated the module loading.
async A modprobe
1. finds a device
2. registers the block device
3. request_module(default iosched)
4. modprobe in userland
5. load and init module
6. async_synchronize_full()
Async A waits for modprobe to finish in request_module() and modprobe
waits for async A to finish in async_synchronize_full().
Because there's no easy to track dependency once control goes out to
userland, implementing properly nested flushing is difficult. For
now, make module init perform async_synchronize_full() iff module init
has queued async jobs as suggested by Linus.
This avoids the described deadlock because iosched module doesn't use
async and thus wouldn't invoke async_synchronize_full(). This is
hacky and incomplete. It will deadlock if async module loading nests;
however, this works around the known problem case and seems to be the
best of bad options.
For more details, please refer to the following thread.
