netfilter: nf_flowtable: fix documentation

2020-03-05T15:45:24+00:00

commit 78e06cf430934fc3768c342cbebdd1013dcd6fa7 upstream.

In the flowtable documentation there is a missing semicolon, the command
as is would give this error:

    nftables.conf:5:27-33: Error: syntax error, unexpected devices, expecting newline or semicolon
                    hook ingress priority 0 devices = { br0, pppoe-data };
                                            ^^^^^^^
    nftables.conf:4:12-13: Error: invalid hook (null)
            flowtable ft {
                      ^^

docs: Fix empty parallelism argument

2020-03-05T15:45:14+00:00

commit adc10f5b0a03606e30c704cff1f0283a696d0260 upstream.

When there was no parallelism (no top-level -j arg and a pre-1.7
sphinx-build), the argument passed would be empty ("") instead of just
being missing, which would (understandably) badly confuse sphinx-build.
Fix this by removing the quotes.

mm: Avoid creating virtual address aliases in brk()/mmap()/mremap()

2020-02-28T16:23:37+00:00

commit dcde237319e626d1ec3c9d8b7613032f0fd4663a upstream.

Currently the arm64 kernel ignores the top address byte passed to brk(),
mmap() and mremap(). When the user is not aware of the 56-bit address
limit or relies on the kernel to return an error, untagging such
pointers has the potential to create address aliases in user-space.
Passing a tagged address to munmap(), madvise() is permitted since the
tagged pointer is expected to be inside an existing mapping.

The current behaviour breaks the existing glibc malloc() implementation
which relies on brk() with an address beyond 56-bit to be rejected by
the kernel.

Remove untagging in the above functions by partially reverting commit
ce18d171cb73 ("mm: untag user pointers in mmap/munmap/mremap/brk"). In
addition, update the arm64 tagged-address-abi.rst document accordingly.

dm raid: table line rebuild status fixes

2020-02-24T07:38:03+00:00

[ Upstream commit 43f3952a51f8198d365acb7f51fe42d578fe5d0a ]

raid_status() wasn't emitting rebuild flags on the table line properly
because the rdev number was not yet set properly; index raid component
devices array directly to solve.

Also fix wrong argument count on emitted table line caused by 1 too
many rebuild/write_mostly argument and consider any journal_(dev|mode)
pairs.

dt-bindings: iio: adc: ad7606: Fix wrong maxItems value

commit a6c4f77cb3b11f81077b53c4a38f21b92d41f21e upstream.

This patch set the correct value for oversampling maxItems. In the
original example, appears 3 items for oversampling while the maxItems
is set to 1, this patch fixes those issues.

PM / devfreq: Add new name attribute for sysfs

2020-02-04T18:18:01+00:00

commit 2fee1a7cc6b1ce6634bb0f025be2c94a58dfa34d upstream.

The commit 4585fbcb5331 ("PM / devfreq: Modify the device name as devfreq(X) for
sysfs") changed the node name to devfreq(x). After this commit, it is not
possible to get the device name through /sys/class/devfreq/devfreq(X)/*.

Add new name attribute in order to get device name.

Add an entry for erratum A011043: the MDIO_CFG[MDIO_RD_ER]
bit may be falsely set when reading internal PCS registers.
MDIO reads to internal PCS registers may result in having
the MDIO_CFG[MDIO_RD_ER] bit set, even when there is no
error and read data (MDIO_DATA[MDIO_DATA]) is correct.
Software may get false read error when reading internal
PCS registers through MDIO. As a workaround, all internal
MDIO accesses should ignore the MDIO_CFG[MDIO_RD_ER] bit.

  A couple of doc fixes and adding missing APIs.

  I had an oops live on stage at linux.conf.au this year, and it turned

  the current codebase. Then in looking for the bug, I spotted two more
  bugs.

  The bots have had a few days to chew on this with no problems
  reported, and it passes the test-suite (which now has more tests to
  make sure these problems don't come back)"
