…ckups If the GPU is stuck waiting for an event or for a semaphore, we need to reset the GPU in order to recover. We have to tell the reset routine which engines we want reset, but we were still using the old interface and declaring it as "not-fatal".

… interrupt We were relying on the uncached reads when processing the CSB to provide ourselves with the serialisation with the interrupt handler (so we could detect new interrupts in the middle of processing the old one). However, in commit 767a983 ("drm/i915/execlists: Read the context-status HEAD from the HWSP") those uncached reads were eliminated (on one path at least) and along with them our serialisation. The result is that we would very rarely miss notification of a new interrupt and leave a context-switch unprocessed, hanging the GPU.

After commit dd9f31c Author: Imre Deak <[email protected]> Date: Wed Aug 16 17:46:07 2017 +0300 drm/i915/gen9+: Set same power state before hibernation image save/restore during hibernation/suspend the power domain functionality got disabled, after which resume could leave it incorrectly disabled if the ACPI target state was S0 during suspend and i915 was not loaded by the loader kernel. This was caused by not considering if we resumed from hibernation as the condition for power domains reiniting. Fix this by simply tracking if we suspended power domains during system suspend and reinit power domains accordingly during resume. This will result in reiniting power domains always when resuming from hibernation, regardless of the platform and whether or not i915 is loaded by the loader kernel. The reason we didn't catch this earlier is that the enabled/disabled state of power domains during PMSG_FREEZE/PMSG_QUIESCE is platform and kernel config dependent: on my SKL the target state is S4 during PMSG_FREEZE and (with the driver loaded in the loader kernel) S0 during PMSG_QUIESCE. On the reporter's machine it's S0 during PMSG_FREEZE but (contrary to this) power domains are not initialized during PMSG_QUIESCE since i915 is not loaded in the loader kernel, or it's loaded but without the DMC firmware being available.

High latencies can be observed caused by a daemon periodically reading various MSR on all cpus. On KASAN enabled kernels ~10ms latencies can be observed simply reading one MSR. Even without KASAN, sending an IPI to a CPU, which is in a deep sleep state or in a long hard IRQ disabled section, waiting for the answer can consume hundreds of microseconds. All usage sites are in preemptible context, convert rdmsr_safe_on_cpu() to use a completion instead of busy polling.

pci_set_drvdata() is called only after registering the net_device, therefore we could run into a NPE if one of the functions using driver_data is called before it's set. Fix this by calling pci_set_drvdata() before registering the net_device. This fix is a candidate for stable. As far as I can see the bug has been there in kernel version 3.2 already, therefore I can't provide a reference which commit is fixed by it. The fix may need small adjustments per kernel version because due to other changes the label which is jumped to if register_netdev() fails has changed over time.

…r space
Fixes a bug in the tcf_dump_walker function that can cause some actions
to not be reported when dumping a large number of actions. This issue
became more aggrevated when cookies feature was added. In particular
this issue is manifest when large cookie values are assigned to the
actions and when enough actions are created that the resulting table
must be dumped in multiple batches.
The number of actions returned in each batch is limited by the total
number of actions and the memory buffer size. With small cookies
the numeric limit is reached before the buffer size limit, which avoids
the code path triggering this bug. When large cookies are used buffer
fills before the numeric limit, and the erroneous code path is hit.
For example after creating 32 csum actions with the cookie
aaaabbbbccccdddd
$ tc actions ls action csum
total acts 26
action order 0: csum (tcp) action continue
index 1 ref 1 bind 0
cookie aaaabbbbccccdddd
.....
action order 25: csum (tcp) action continue
index 26 ref 1 bind 0
cookie aaaabbbbccccdddd
total acts 6
action order 0: csum (tcp) action continue
index 28 ref 1 bind 0
cookie aaaabbbbccccdddd
......
action order 5: csum (tcp) action continue
index 32 ref 1 bind 0
cookie aaaabbbbccccdddd
Note that the action with index 27 is omitted from the report.

strp_parser_err is called with a negative code everywhere, which then calls abort_parser with a negative code. strp_msg_timeout calls abort_parser directly with a positive code. Negate ETIMEDOUT to match signed-ness of other calls. The default abort_parser callback, strp_abort_strp, sets sk->sk_err to err. Also negate the error here so sk_err always holds a positive value, as the rest of the net code expects. Currently a negative sk_err can result in endless loops, or user code that thinks it actually sent/received err bytes. Found while testing net/tls_sw recv path.

However, the status of dev_queue_xmit() is not returned to caller, in this case, llc_conn_state_process(). llc_conn_state_process() needs hold the skb no matter success or failure, because it still uses it after that, therefore we should hold skb before dev_queue_xmit() when that skb is the one being processed by llc_conn_state_process().

The individual entries are kept the same, and neither modified to bring them in line with kernel coding style nor wrapped in proper ifdefs -- as an exception to this, add the prefix "asmlinkage" where it was missing.

compat_sys_*() functions are no longer called from within the kernel on x86 except from the system call table. Linking the system call does not require compat_sys_*() function prototypes at least on x86. Therefore, generate compat_sys_*() prototypes on-the-fly within the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro, and remove x86-specific prototypes from various header files.

Shuffle the cond_syscall() entries in kernel/sys_ni.c around so that they are kept in the same order as in include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h.

Error injection is a useful mechanism to fail arbitrary kernel
functions. However, it is often hard to guarantee an error propagates
appropriately to user space programs. By injecting into syscalls, we can
return arbitrary values to user space directly; this increases
flexibility and robustness in testing, allowing us to test user space
error paths effectively.
The following script, for example, fails calls to sys_open() from a
given pid:
from bcc import BPF
from sys import argv
pid = argv[1]
prog = r"""
int kprobe__SyS_open(struct pt_regs *ctx, const char *pathname, int flags)
{
u32 pid = bpf_get_current_pid_tgid();
if (pid == %s)
bpf_override_return(ctx, -ENOMEM);
return 0;
}
""" % pid
b = BPF(text=prog)
while 1:
b.perf_buffer_poll()
This patch whitelists all syscalls defined with SYSCALL_DEFINE and
COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE for error injection. These changes are not
intended to be considered stable, and would normally be configured off.

Pul removal of obsolete architecture ports from Arnd Bergmann:
"This removes the entire architecture code for blackfin, cris, frv,
m32r, metag, mn10300, score, and tile, including the associated device
drivers.
I have been working with the (former) maintainers for each one to
ensure that my interpretation was right and the code is definitely
unused in mainline kernels. Many had fond memories of working on the
respective ports to start with and getting them included in upstream,
but also saw no point in keeping the port alive without any users.
In the end, it seems that while the eight architectures are extremely
different, they all suffered the same fate: There was one company in
charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software
ecosystem, which was more costly than licensing newer off-the-shelf
CPU cores from a third party (typically ARM, MIPS, or RISC-V). It
seems that all the SoC product lines are still around, but have not
used the custom CPU architectures for several years at this point. In
contrast, CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively
maintained kernel ports tend to all be used across multiple licensees.
[ See the new nds32 port merged in the previous commit for the next
generation of "one company in charge of an SoC line, a CPU
microarchitecture and a software ecosystem" - Linus ]
The removal came out of a discussion that is now documented at
https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/. Unlike the original plans, I'm not
marking any ports as deprecated but remove them all at once after I
made sure that they are all unused. Some architectures (notably tile,
mn10300, and blackfin) are still being shipped in products with old
kernels, but those products will never be updated to newer kernel
releases.
After this series, we still have a few architectures without mainline
gcc support:
- unicore32 and hexagon both have very outdated gcc releases, but the
maintainers promised to work on providing something newer. At least
in case of hexagon, this will only be llvm, not gcc.
- openrisc, risc-v and nds32 are still in the process of finishing
their support or getting it added to mainline gcc in the first
place. They all have patched gcc-7.3 ports that work to some
degree, but complete upstream support won't happen before gcc-8.1.
Csky posted their first kernel patch set last week, their situation
will be similar
[ Palmer Dabbelt points out that RISC-V support is in mainline gcc
since gcc-7, although gcc-7.3.0 is the recommended minimum - Linus ]"

Commit 2a98dc0 ("include/linux/bitmap.h: turn bitmap_set and bitmap_clear into memset when possible") introduced an optimization to bitmap_{set,clear}() which uses memset() when the start and length are constants aligned to a byte. This is wrong on big-endian systems; our bitmaps are arrays of unsigned long, so bit n is not at byte n / 8 in memory. This was caught by the Btrfs selftests, but the bitmap selftests also fail when run on a big-endian machine. We can still use memset if the start and length are aligned to an unsigned long, so do that on big-endian. The same problem applies to the memcmp in bitmap_equal(), so fix it there, too.

Pull removal of in-kernel calls to syscalls from Dominik Brodowski:
"System calls are interaction points between userspace and the kernel.
Therefore, system call functions such as sys_xyzzy() or
compat_sys_xyzzy() should only be called from userspace via the
syscall table, but not from elsewhere in the kernel.
At least on 64-bit x86, it will likely be a hard requirement from
v4.17 onwards to not call system call functions in the kernel: It is
better to use use a different calling convention for system calls
there, where struct pt_regs is decoded on-the-fly in a syscall wrapper
which then hands processing over to the actual syscall function. This
means that only those parameters which are actually needed for a
specific syscall are passed on during syscall entry, instead of
filling in six CPU registers with random user space content all the
time (which may cause serious trouble down the call chain). Those
x86-specific patches will be pushed through the x86 tree in the near
future.
Moreover, rules on how data may be accessed may differ between kernel
data and user data. This is another reason why calling sys_xyzzy() is
generally a bad idea, and -- at most -- acceptable in arch-specific
code.
This patchset removes all in-kernel calls to syscall functions in the
kernel with the exception of arch/. On top of this, it cleans up the
three places where many syscalls are referenced or prototyped, namely
kernel/sys_ni.c, include/linux/syscalls.h and include/linux/compat.h"
