commit 7725acaa4f0c04fbefb0e0d342635b967bb7d414 upstream

check_bugs() has become a dumping ground for all sorts of activities to
finalize the CPU initialization before running the rest of the init code.

Most are empty, a few do actual bug checks, some do alternative patching
and some cobble a CPU advertisement string together....

Aside of that the current implementation requires duplicated function
declaration and mostly empty header files for them.

Provide a new function arch_cpu_finalize_init(). Provide a generic
declaration if CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CPU_FINALIZE_INIT is selected and a stub
inline otherwise.

This requires a temporary #ifdef in start_kernel() which will be removed
along with check_bugs() once the architectures are converted over.

[ Upstream commit a63fc6b75cca984c71f095282e0227a390ba88f3 ]

Although the rcu_swap_protected() macro follows the example of
swap(), the interactions with RCU make its update of its argument
somewhat counter-intuitive.  This commit therefore introduces
an rcu_replace_pointer() that returns the old value of the RCU
pointer instead of doing the argument update.  Once all the uses of
rcu_swap_protected() are updated to instead use rcu_replace_pointer(),
rcu_swap_protected() will be removed.

commit e1891cffd4c4896a899337a243273f0e23c028df upstream.

The code to tell the lower layer to enable or disable watching for
certain things was lazy in disabling, it waited until a timer tick
to see if a disable was necessary.  Not a really big deal, but it
could be improved.

Modify the code to enable and disable watching immediately and don't
do it from the background timer any more.

commit 1202cdd665315c525b5237e96e0bedc76d7e754f upstream.

DECnet is an obsolete network protocol that receives more attention
from kernel janitors than users. It belongs in computer protocol
history museum not in Linux kernel.

It has been "Orphaned" in kernel since 2010. The iproute2 support
for DECnet was dropped in 5.0 release. The documentation link on
Sourceforge says it is abandoned there as well.

Leave the UAPI alone to keep userspace programs compiling.
This means that there is still an empty neighbour table
for AF_DECNET.

The table of /proc/sys/net entries was updated to match
current directories and reformatted to be alphabetical.

Add READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() on accesses to the sock flow table.

This also prevents a (smart ?) compiler to remove the condition in:

if (table-&gt;ents[index] != newval)
        table-&gt;ents[index] = newval;

We need the condition to avoid dirtying a shared cache line.

[ Upstream commit dd3e7cba16274831f5a69f071ed3cf13ffb352ea ]

There are users already and will be more of BITS_TO_BYTES() macro.  Move
it to bitops.h for wider use.

In the case of ocfs2 the replacement is identical.

As for bnx2x, there are two places where floor version is used.  In the
first case to calculate the amount of structures that can fit one memory
page.  In this case obviously the ceiling variant is correct and
original code might have a potential bug, if amount of bits % 8 is not
0.  In the second case the macro is used to calculate bytes transmitted
in one microsecond.  This will work for all speeds which is multiply of
1Gbps without any change, for the rest new code will give ceiling value,
for instance 100Mbps will give 13 bytes, while old code gives 12 bytes
and the arithmetically correct one is 12.5 bytes.  Further the value is
used to setup timer threshold which in any case has its own margins due
to certain resolution.  I don't see here an issue with slightly shifting
thresholds for low speed connections, the card is supposed to utilize
highest available rate, which is usually 10Gbps.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 2220af8ca61ae67de4ec3deec1c6395a2f65b9fd ]

Some (USB) charger ICs have variants with USB D+ and D- pins to do their
own builtin charger-type detection, like e.g. the bq24190 and bq25890 and
also variants which lack this functionality, e.g. the bq24192 and bq25892.

In case the charger-type; and thus the input-current-limit detection is
done outside the charger IC then we need some way to communicate this to
the charger IC. In the past extcon was used for this, but if the external
detection does e.g. full USB PD negotiation then the extcon cable-types do
not convey enough information.

For these setups it was decided to model the external charging "brick"
and the parameters negotiated with it as a power_supply class-device
itself; and power_supply_set_input_current_limit_from_supplier() was
introduced to allow drivers to get the input-current-limit this way.

But in some cases psy drivers may want to know other properties, e.g. the
bq25892 can do "quick-charge" negotiation by pulsing its current draw,
but this should only be done if the usb_type psy-property of its supplier
is set to DCP (and device-properties indicate the board allows higher
voltages).

Instead of adding extra helper functions for each property which
a psy-driver wants to query from its supplier, refactor
power_supply_set_input_current_limit_from_supplier() into a
more generic power_supply_get_property_from_supplier() function.

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 0fa81b304a7973a499f844176ca031109487dd31 ]

The NCM specification defines two formats of transfer blocks: with 16-bit
fields (NTB-16) and with 32-bit fields (NTB-32). Currently only NTB-16 is
implemented.

This patch adds the support of NTB-32. The motivation behind this is that
some devices such as E5785 or E5885 from the current generation of Huawei
LTE routers do not support NTB-16. The previous generations of Huawei
devices are also use NTB-32 by default.

Also this patch enables NTB-32 by default for Huawei devices.

During the 2019 ValdikSS made five attempts to contact Huawei to add the
NTB-16 support to their router firmware, but they were unsuccessful.

<content type='text'>
commit c00bc80462afc7963f449d7f21d896d2f629cacc upstream.

Before this patch bq27xxx_battery_teardown() was setting poll_interval = 0
to avoid bq27xxx_battery_update() requeuing the delayed_work item.

There are 2 problems with this:

1. If the driver is unbound through sysfs, rather then the module being
   rmmod-ed, this changes poll_interval unexpectedly

2. This is racy, after it being set poll_interval could be changed
   before bq27xxx_battery_update() checks it through
   /sys/module/bq27xxx_battery/parameters/poll_interval

Fix this by added a removed attribute to struct bq27xxx_device_info and
using that instead of setting poll_interval to 0.

There also is another poll_interval related race on remove(), writing
/sys/module/bq27xxx_battery/parameters/poll_interval will requeue
the delayed_work item for all devices on the bq27xxx_battery_devices
list and the device being removed was only removed from that list
after cancelling the delayed_work item.

Fix this by moving the removal from the bq27xxx_battery_devices list
to before cancelling the delayed_work item.

<id>urn:sha1:26c7373213e0dea2e864c032b007d1e34880d386</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 13890626501ffda22b18213ddaf7930473da5792 upstream.

Many of the older USB drivers in the Linux USB stack were written
based simply on a vendor's device specification.  They use the
endpoint information in the spec and assume these endpoints will
always be present, with the properties listed, in any device matching
the given vendor and product IDs.

While that may have been true back then, with spoofing and fuzzing it
is not true any more.  More and more we are finding that those old
drivers need to perform at least a minimum of checking before they try
to use any endpoint other than ep0.

To make this checking as simple as possible, we now add a couple of
utility routines to the USB core.  usb_check_bulk_endpoints() and
usb_check_int_endpoints() take an interface pointer together with a
list of endpoint addresses (numbers and directions).  They check that
the interface's current alternate setting includes endpoints with
those addresses and that each of these endpoints has the right type:
bulk or interrupt, respectively.

Although we already have usb_find_common_endpoints() and related
routines meant for a similar purpose, they are not well suited for
this kind of checking.  Those routines find endpoints of various
kinds, but only one (either the first or the last) of each kind, and
they don't verify that the endpoints' addresses agree with what the
caller expects.

In theory the new routines could be more general: They could take a
particular altsetting as their argument instead of always using the
interface's current altsetting.  In practice I think this won't matter
too much; multiple altsettings tend to be used for transferring media
(audio or visual) over isochronous endpoints, not bulk or interrupt.
Drivers for such devices will generally require more sophisticated
checking than these simplistic routines provide.
