commit 1a92a80ad386a1a6e3b36d576d52a1a456394b70 upstream.

There is no guarantee that the various isync's involved with
the context switch will order the update of the CPU mask with
the first TLB entry for the new context being loaded by the HW.

Be safe here and add a memory barrier to order any subsequent
load/store which may bring entries into the TLB.

The corresponding barrier on the other side already exists as
pte updates use pte_xchg() which uses __cmpxchg_u64 which has
a sync after the atomic operation.

<title>ACPI: EC: Fix regression related to wrong ECDT initialization order</title>

commit 98529b9272e06a7767034fb8a32e43cdecda240a upstream.

Commit 2a5708409e4e (ACPI / EC: Fix a gap that ECDT EC cannot handle
EC events) introduced acpi_ec_ecdt_start(), but that function is
invoked before acpi_ec_query_init(), which is too early.  This causes
the kernel to crash if an EC event occurs after boot, when ec_query_wq
is not valid:

 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000102
 ...
 Workqueue: events acpi_ec_event_handler
 task: ffff9f539790dac0 task.stack: ffffb437c0e10000
 RIP: 0010:__queue_work+0x32/0x430

Normally, the DSDT EC should always be valid, so acpi_ec_ecdt_start()
is actually a no-op in the majority of cases.  However, commit
c712bb58d827 (ACPI / EC: Add support to skip boot stage DSDT probe)
caused the probing of the DSDT EC as the "boot EC" to be skipped when
the ECDT EC is valid and uncovered the bug.

Fix this issue by invoking acpi_ec_ecdt_start() after acpi_ec_query_init()
in acpi_ec_init().

commit 7d64f82cceb21e6d95db312d284f5f195e120154 upstream.

When removing a GHES device notified by SCI, list_del_rcu() is used,
ghes_remove() should call synchronize_rcu() before it goes on to call
kfree(ghes), otherwise concurrent RCU readers may still hold this list
entry after it has been freed.

commit e3d5092b6756b9e0b08f94bbeafcc7afe19f0996 upstream.

The on-stack resource-window 'win' in setup_res() is not
properly initialized. This causes the pointers in the
embedded 'struct resource' to contain stale addresses.

These pointers (in my case the -&gt;child pointer) later get
propagated to the global iomem_resources list, causing a #GP
exception when the list is traversed in
iomem_map_sanity_check().

<title>ntb: transport shouldn't disable link due to bogus values in SPADs</title>

commit f3fd2afed8eee91620d05b69ab94c14793c849d7 upstream.

It seems that under certain scenarios the SPAD can have bogus values caused
by an agent (i.e. BIOS or other software) that is not the kernel driver, and
that causes memory window setup failure. This should not cause the link to
be disabled because if we do that, the driver will never recover again. We
have verified in testing that this issue happens and prevents proper link
recovery.

commit 0eb46345364d7318b11068c46e8a68d5dc10f65e upstream.

After the link tests, there is a race on one side of the test for
the link coming up. It's possible, in some cases, for the test script
to write to the 'peer_trans' files before the link has come up.

To fix this, we simply use the link event file to ensure both sides
see the link as up before continuning.

<id>471954c313c57e09839f1381bd4897283d8e6537</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 8e8496e0e9564b66165f5219a4e8ed20b0d3fc6b upstream.

A divide by zero error occurs if qp_count is less than mw_count because
num_qps_mw is calculated to be zero. The calculation appears to be
incorrect.

The requirement is for num_qps_mw to be set to qp_count / mw_count
with any remainder divided among the earlier mws.

For example, if mw_count is 5 and qp_count is 12 then mws 0 and 1
will have 3 qps per window and mws 2 through 4 will have 2 qps per window.
Thus, when mw_num &lt; qp_count % mw_count, num_qps_mw is 1 higher
than when mw_num &gt;= qp_count.

commit 8e8496e0e9564b66165f5219a4e8ed20b0d3fc6b upstream.

A divide by zero error occurs if qp_count is less than mw_count because
num_qps_mw is calculated to be zero. The calculation appears to be
incorrect.

The requirement is for num_qps_mw to be set to qp_count / mw_count
with any remainder divided among the earlier mws.

For example, if mw_count is 5 and qp_count is 12 then mws 0 and 1
will have 3 qps per window and mws 2 through 4 will have 2 qps per window.
Thus, when mw_num &lt; qp_count % mw_count, num_qps_mw is 1 higher
than when mw_num &gt;= qp_count.
