commit f254e3c57b9d952e987502aefa0804c177dd2503 upstream.

ACPICA commit 7d9fd64397d7c38899d3dc497525f6e6b044e0e3

OSPMs like Linux expect an acpi_physical_address returning value from
acpi_find_root_pointer(). This triggers warnings if sizeof (acpi_size) doesn't
equal to sizeof (acpi_physical_address):
  drivers/acpi/osl.c:275:3: warning: passing argument 1 of 'acpi_find_root_pointer' from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]
  In file included from include/acpi/acpi.h:64:0,
                   from include/linux/acpi.h:36,
                   from drivers/acpi/osl.c:41:
  include/acpi/acpixf.h:433:1: note: expected 'acpi_size *' but argument is of type 'acpi_physical_address *'
This patch corrects acpi_find_root_pointer().

<title>nilfs2: fix sanity check of btree level in nilfs_btree_root_broken()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:579524b1a966ee12d83ab116140c493eb8e2baaa</id>
<content type='text'>
commit d8fd150fe3935e1692bf57c66691e17409ebb9c1 upstream.

The range check for b-tree level parameter in nilfs_btree_root_broken()
is wrong; it accepts the case of "level == NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX" even
though the level is limited to values in the range of 0 to
(NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX - 1).

Since the level parameter is read from storage device and used to index
nilfs_btree_path array whose element count is NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX, it
can cause memory overrun during btree operations if the boundary value
is set to the level parameter on device.

This fixes the broken sanity check and adds a comment to clarify that
the upper bound NILFS_BTREE_LEVEL_MAX is exclusive.

<content type='text'>
commit 7a3ef208e662f4b63d43a23f61a64a129c525bbc upstream.

Constantly forking task causes unlimited grow of anon_vma chain.  Each
next child allocates new level of anon_vmas and links vma to all
previous levels because pages might be inherited from any level.

This patch adds heuristic which decides to reuse existing anon_vma
instead of forking new one.  It adds counter anon_vma-&gt;degree which
counts linked vmas and directly descending anon_vmas and reuses anon_vma
if counter is lower than two.  As a result each anon_vma has either vma
or at least two descending anon_vmas.  In such trees half of nodes are
leafs with alive vmas, thus count of anon_vmas is no more than two times
bigger than count of vmas.

This heuristic reuses anon_vmas as few as possible because each reuse
adds false aliasing among vmas and rmap walker ought to scan more ptes
when it searches where page is might be mapped.

commit 7241ea558c6715501e777396b5fc312c372e11d9 upstream.

Looks like audigy emu10k2 (probably emu10k1 - sb live too) support two
modes for DMA. Second mode is useful for 64 bit os with more then 2 GB
of ram (fixes problems with big soundfont loading)

1) 32MB from 2 GB address space using 8192 pages (used now as default)
2) 16MB from 4 GB address space using 4096 pages

Mode is set using HCFG_EXPANDED_MEM flag in HCFG register.
Also format of emu10k2 page table is then different.

<id>urn:sha1:5f30307e19b93df1e80b073b15967f53850ad33d</id>
<content type='text'>
commit ee53664bda169f519ce3c6a22d378f0b946c8178 upstream.

Sasha Levin found a NULL pointer dereference that is due to a missing
page table lock, which in turn is due to the pmd entry in question being
a transparent huge-table entry.

The code - introduced in commit 1998cc048901 ("mm: make
madvise(MADV_WILLNEED) support swap file prefetch") - correctly checks
for this situation using pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad(), but it
turns out that that function doesn't work correctly.

pmd_none_or_trans_huge_or_clear_bad() expected that pmd_bad() would
trigger if the transparent hugepage bit was set, but it doesn't do that
if pmd_numa() is also set. Note that the NUMA bit only gets set on real
NUMA machines, so people trying to reproduce this on most normal
development systems would never actually trigger this.

Fix it by removing the very subtle (and subtly incorrect) expectation,
and instead just checking pmd_trans_huge() explicitly.

<title>ACPICA: Utilities: split IO address types from data type models.</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 2b8760100e1de69b6ff004c986328a82947db4ad upstream.

ACPICA commit aacf863cfffd46338e268b7415f7435cae93b451

It is reported that on a physically 64-bit addressed machine, 32-bit kernel
can trigger crashes in accessing the memory regions that are beyond the
32-bit boundary. The region field's start address should still be 32-bit
compliant, but after a calculation (adding some offsets), it may exceed the
32-bit boundary. This case is rare and buggy, but there are real BIOSes
leaked with such issues (see References below).

This patch fixes this gap by always defining IO addresses as 64-bit, and
allows OSPMs to optimize it for a real 32-bit machine to reduce the size of
the internal objects.

Internal acpi_physical_address usages in the structures that can be fixed
by this change include:
 1. struct acpi_object_region:
    acpi_physical_address		address;
 2. struct acpi_address_range:
    acpi_physical_address		start_address;
    acpi_physical_address		end_address;
 3. struct acpi_mem_space_context;
    acpi_physical_address		address;
 4. struct acpi_table_desc
    acpi_physical_address		address;
See known issues 1 for other usages.

Note that acpi_io_address which is used for ACPI_PROCESSOR may also suffer
from same problem, so this patch changes it accordingly.

For iasl, it will enforce acpi_physical_address as 32-bit to generate
32-bit OSPM compatible tables on 32-bit platforms, we need to define
ACPI_32BIT_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS for it in acenv.h.

Known issues:
 1. Cleanup of mapped virtual address
   In struct acpi_mem_space_context, acpi_physical_address is used as a virtual
   address:
    acpi_physical_address                   mapped_physical_address;
   It is better to introduce acpi_virtual_address or use acpi_size instead.
   This patch doesn't make such a change. Because this should be done along
   with a change to acpi_os_map_memory()/acpi_os_unmap_memory().
   There should be no functional problem to leave this unchanged except
   that only this structure is enlarged unexpectedly.

<content type='text'>
commit c8e639852ad720499912acedfd6b072325fd2807 upstream.

This patch fixes a bug for COMPARE_AND_WRITE handling with
fabrics using SCF_PASSTHROUGH_SG_TO_MEM_NOALLOC.

It adds the missing allocation for cmd-&gt;t_bidi_data_sg within
transport_generic_new_cmd() that is used by COMPARE_AND_WRITE
for the initial READ payload, even if the fabric is already
providing a pre-allocated buffer for cmd-&gt;t_data_sg.

Also, fix zero-length COMPARE_AND_WRITE handling within the
compare_and_write_callback() and target_complete_ok_work()
to queue the response, skipping the initial READ.

This fixes COMPARE_AND_WRITE emulation with loopback, vhost,
and xen-backend fabric drivers using SG_TO_MEM_NOALLOC.

<title>usb: define a generic USB_RESUME_TIMEOUT macro</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ebe4ffa5657be8d4b640466fd0a91d73094ade48</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 62f0342de1f012f3e90607d39e20fce811391169 upstream.

Every USB Host controller should use this new
macro to define for how long resume signalling
should be driven on the bus.

Currently, almost every single USB controller
is using a 20ms timeout for resume signalling.

That's problematic for two reasons:

a) sometimes that 20ms timer expires a little
before 20ms, which makes us fail certification

b) some (many) devices actually need more than
20ms resume signalling.

Sure, in case of (b) we can state that the device
is against the USB spec, but the fact is that
we have no control over which device the certification
lab will use. We also have no control over which host
they will use. Most likely they'll be using a Windows
PC which, again, we have no control over how that
USB stack is written and how long resume signalling
they are using.

At the end of the day, we must make sure Linux passes
electrical compliance when working as Host or as Device
and currently we don't pass compliance as host because
we're driving resume signallig for exactly 20ms and
that confuses certification test setup resulting in
Certification failure.
