Input: i8042 - reset keyboard to fix Elantech touchpad detection

2015-01-27T16:18:57Z

commit 148e9a711e034e06310a8c36b64957934ebe30f2 upstream. On some laptops, keyboard needs to be reset in order to successfully detect touchpad (e.g., some Gigabyte laptop models with Elantech touchpads). Without resettin keyboard touchpad pretends to be completely dead. Based on the original patch by Mateusz Jończyk this version has been expanded to include DMI based detection & application of the fix automatically on the affected models of laptops. This has been confirmed to fix problem by three users already on three different models of laptops.

pstore-ram: Allow optional mapping with pgprot_noncached

2015-01-16T14:59:30Z

commit 027bc8b08242c59e19356b4b2c189f2d849ab660 upstream. On some ARMs the memory can be mapped pgprot_noncached() and still be working for atomic operations. As pointed out by Colin Cross , in some cases you do want to use pgprot_noncached() if the SoC supports it to see a debug printk just before a write hanging the system. On ARMs, the atomic operations on strongly ordered memory are implementation defined. So let's provide an optional kernel parameter for configuring pgprot_noncached(), and use pgprot_writecombine() by default.

of/irq: Drop obsolete 'interrupts' vs 'interrupts-extended' text

2014-12-06T23:55:37Z

commit 66865de4314caca30598244b86817e774c188afa upstream. a9ecdc0fdc54 ("of/irq: Fix lookup to use 'interrupts-extended' property first") updated the description to say that: - Both 'interrupts' and 'interrupts-extended' may be present - Software should prefer 'interrupts-extended' - Software that doesn't comprehend 'interrupts-extended' may use 'interrupts' But there is still a paragraph at the end that prohibits having both and says 'interrupts' should be preferred.

kvm: fix potentially corrupt mmio cache

2014-10-30T16:38:19Z

commit ee3d1570b58677885b4552bce8217fda7b226a68 upstream. vcpu exits and memslot mutations can run concurrently as long as the vcpu does not aquire the slots mutex. Thus it is theoretically possible for memslots to change underneath a vcpu that is handling an exit. If we increment the memslot generation number again after synchronize_srcu_expedited(), vcpus can safely cache memslot generation without maintaining a single rcu_dereference through an entire vm exit. And much of the x86/kvm code does not maintain a single rcu_dereference of the current memslots during each exit. We can prevent the following case: vcpu (CPU 0) | thread (CPU 1) --------------------------------------------+-------------------------- 1 vm exit | 2 srcu_read_unlock(&kvm->srcu) | 3 decide to cache something based on | old memslots | 4 | change memslots | (increments generation) 5 | synchronize_srcu(&kvm->srcu); 6 retrieve generation # from new memslots | 7 tag cache with new memslot generation | 8 srcu_read_unlock(&kvm->srcu) | ... | | ... | | | By incrementing the generation after synchronizing with kvm->srcu readers, we ensure that the generation retrieved in (6) will become invalid soon after (8). Keeping the existing increment is not strictly necessary, but we do keep it and just move it for consistency from update_memslots to install_new_memslots. It invalidates old cached MMIOs immediately, instead of having to wait for the end of synchronize_srcu_expedited, which makes the code more clearly correct in case CPU 1 is preempted right after synchronize_srcu() returns. To avoid halving the generation space in SPTEs, always presume that the low bit of the generation is zero when reconstructing a generation number out of an SPTE. This effectively disables MMIO caching in SPTEs during the call to synchronize_srcu_expedited. Using the low bit this way is somewhat like a seqcount---where the protected thing is a cache, and instead of retrying we can simply punt if we observe the low bit to be 1.

of/irq: Fix lookup to use 'interrupts-extended' property first

2014-10-05T21:52:10Z

commit a9ecdc0fdc54aa499604dbd43132988effcac9b4 upstream. In case the Device Tree blob passed by the boot agent supplies both an 'interrupts-extended' and an 'interrupts' property in order to allow for older kernels to be usable, prefer the new-style 'interrupts-extended' property which conveys a lot more information. This allows us to have bootloaders willingly maintaining backwards compatibility with older kernels without entirely deprecating the 'interrupts' property. Update the bindings documentation to describe a situation where both the 'interrupts-extended' and the 'interrupts' property are present, and which one takes precedence over the other.
