USB: hub: Revert commit bd0e6c9614b9 ("usb: hub: try old enumeration scheme first for high speed devices")

2020-04-29T14:33:14Z

commit 3155f4f40811c5d7e3c686215051acf504e05565 upstream. Commit bd0e6c9614b9 ("usb: hub: try old enumeration scheme first for high speed devices") changed the way the hub driver enumerates high-speed devices. Instead of using the "new" enumeration scheme first and switching to the "old" scheme if that doesn't work, we start with the "old" scheme. In theory this is better because the "old" scheme is slightly faster -- it involves resetting the device only once instead of twice. However, for a long time Windows used only the "new" scheme. Zeng Tao said that Windows 8 and later use the "old" scheme for high-speed devices, but apparently there are some devices that don't like it. William Bader reports that the Ricoh webcam built into his Sony Vaio laptop not only doesn't enumerate under the "old" scheme, it gets hung up so badly that it won't then enumerate under the "new" scheme! Only a cold reset will fix it. Therefore we will revert the commit and go back to trying the "new" scheme first for high-speed devices.

arm64: tegra: Fix Tegra194 PCIe compatible string

2020-04-23T08:36:30Z

[ Upstream commit f9f711efd441ad0d22874be49986d92121862335 ] If the kernel configuration option CONFIG_PCIE_DW_PLAT_HOST is enabled then this can cause the kernel to incorrectly probe the generic designware PCIe platform driver instead of the Tegra194 designware PCIe driver. This causes a boot failure on Tegra194 because the necessary configuration to access the hardware is not performed. The order in which the compatible strings are populated in Device-Tree is not relevant in this case, because the kernel will attempt to probe the device as soon as a driver is loaded and if the generic designware PCIe driver is loaded first, then this driver will be probed first. Therefore, to fix this problem, remove the "snps,dw-pcie" string from the compatible string as we never want this driver to be probe on Tegra194.

ALSA: hda/realtek - Remove now-unnecessary XPS 13 headphone noise fixups

2020-04-17T08:50:08Z

commit f36938aa7440f46a0a365f1cfde5f5985af2bef3 upstream. patch_realtek.c has historically failed to properly configure the PC Beep Hidden Register for the ALC256 codec (among others). Depending on your kernel version, symptoms of this misconfiguration can range from chassis noise, picked up by a poorly-shielded PCBEEP trace, getting amplified and played on your internal speaker and/or headphones to loud feedback, which responds to the "Headphone Mic Boost" ALSA control, getting played through your headphones. For details of the problem, see the patch in this series titled "ALSA: hda/realtek - Set principled PC Beep configuration for ALC256", which fixes the configuration. These symptoms have been most noticed on the Dell XPS 13 9350 and 9360, popular laptops that use the ALC256. As a result, several model-specific fixups have been introduced to try and fix the problem, the most egregious of which locks the "Headphone Mic Boost" control as a hack to minimize noise from a feedback loop that shouldn't have been there in the first place. Now that the underlying issue has been fixed, remove all these fixups. Remaining fixups needed by the XPS 13 are all picked up by existing pin quirks. This change should, for the XPS 13 9350/9360 - Significantly increase volume and audio quality on headphones - Eliminate headphone popping on suspend/resume - Allow "Headphone Mic Boost" to be set again, making the headphone jack fully usable as a microphone jack too.

ALSA: doc: Document PC Beep Hidden Register on Realtek ALC256

2020-04-17T08:50:07Z

commit f128090491c3f5aacef91a863f8c52abf869c436 upstream. This codec (among others) has a hidden set of audio routes, apparently designed to allow PC Beep output without a mixer widget on the output path, which are controlled by an undocumented Realtek vendor register. The default configuration of these routes means that certain inputs aren't accessible, necessitating driver control of the register. However, Realtek has provided no documentation of the register, instead opting to fix issues by providing magic numbers, most of which have been at least somewhat erroneous. These magic numbers then get copied by others into model-specific fixups, leading to a fragmented and buggy set of configurations. To get out of this situation, I've reverse engineered the register by flipping bits and observing how the codec's behavior changes. This commit documents my findings. It does not change any code.

dt-bindings: net: FMan erratum A050385

2020-04-01T09:01:52Z

[ Upstream commit 26d5bb9e4c4b541c475751e015072eb2cbf70d15 ] FMAN DMA read or writes under heavy traffic load may cause FMAN internal resource leak; thus stopping further packet processing. The FMAN internal queue can overflow when FMAN splits single read or write transactions into multiple smaller transactions such that more than 17 AXI transactions are in flight from FMAN to interconnect. When the FMAN internal queue overflows, it can stall further packet processing. The issue can occur with any one of the following three conditions: 1. FMAN AXI transaction crosses 4K address boundary (Errata A010022) 2. FMAN DMA address for an AXI transaction is not 16 byte aligned, i.e. the last 4 bits of an address are non-zero 3. Scatter Gather (SG) frames have more than one SG buffer in the SG list and any one of the buffers, except the last buffer in the SG list has data size that is not a multiple of 16 bytes, i.e., other than 16, 32, 48, 64, etc. With any one of the above three conditions present, there is likelihood of stalled FMAN packet processing, especially under stress with multiple ports injecting line-rate traffic. To avoid situations that stall FMAN packet processing, all of the above three conditions must be avoided; therefore, configure the system with the following rules: 1. Frame buffers must not span a 4KB address boundary, unless the frame start address is 256 byte aligned 2. All FMAN DMA start addresses (for example, BMAN buffer address, FD[address] + FD[offset]) are 16B aligned 3. SG table and buffer addresses are 16B aligned and the size of SG buffers are multiple of 16 bytes, except for the last SG buffer that can be of any size. Additional workaround notes: - Address alignment of 64 bytes is recommended for maximally efficient system bus transactions (although 16 byte alignment is sufficient to avoid the stall condition) - To support frame sizes that are larger than 4K bytes, there are two options: 1. Large single buffer frames that span a 4KB page boundary can be converted into SG frames to avoid transaction splits at the 4KB boundary, 2. Align the large single buffer to 256B address boundaries, ensure that the frame address plus offset is 256B aligned. - If software generated SG frames have buffers that are unaligned and with random non-multiple of 16 byte lengths, before transmitting such frames via FMAN, frames will need to be copied into a new single buffer or multiple buffer SG frame that is compliant with the three rules listed above.

modpost: move the namespace field in Module.symvers last

2020-03-25T07:25:55Z

commit 5190044c2965514a973184ca68ef5fad57a24670 upstream. In order to preserve backwards compatability with kmod tools, we have to move the namespace field in Module.symvers last, as the depmod -e -E option looks at the first three fields in Module.symvers to check symbol versions (and it's expected they stay in the original order of crc, symbol, module). In addition, update an ancient comment above read_dump() in modpost that suggested that the export type field in Module.symvers was optional. I suspect that there were historical reasons behind that comment that are no longer accurate. We have been unconditionally printing the export type since 2.6.18 (commit bd5cbcedf44), which is over a decade ago now. Fix up read_dump() to treat each field as non-optional. I suspect the original read_dump() code treated the export field as optional in order to support pre <= 2.6.18 Module.symvers (which did not have the export type field). Note that although symbol namespaces are optional, the field will not be omitted from Module.symvers if a symbol does not have a namespace. In this case, the field will simply be empty and the next delimiter or end of line will follow.

cifs_atomic_open(): fix double-put on late allocation failure

2020-03-18T06:17:51Z

commit d9a9f4849fe0c9d560851ab22a85a666cddfdd24 upstream. several iterations of ->atomic_open() calling conventions ago, we used to need fput() if ->atomic_open() failed at some point after successful finish_open(). Now (since 2016) it's not needed - struct file carries enough state to make fput() work regardless of the point in struct file lifecycle and discarding it on failure exits in open() got unified. Unfortunately, I'd missed the fact that we had an instance of ->atomic_open() (cifs one) that used to need that fput(), as well as the stale comment in finish_open() demanding such late failure handling.
