commit 15b8d2c41fe5839582029f65c5f7004db451cc2b upstream.

In big endian mode regmap_bulk_read gives incorrect data
for byte reads.

This is because memcpy of a single byte from an address
after full word read gives different results when
endianness differs. ie. we get little-end in LE and big-end in BE.

commit 39ef311204941ddd01ea2950d6220c8ccc710d15 upstream.

device_create_groups lets callers create devices as well as associated
sysfs attributes with a single call. This avoids race conditions seen
if sysfs attributes on new devices are created later.

[fixed up comment block placement and add checks for printk buffer
formats - gregkh]

commit bb34cb6bbd287b57e955bc5cfd42fcde6aaca279 upstream.

bus_find_device_by_name() acquires a device reference which is never
released.  This results in an object leak, which on older kernels
results in failure to release all resources of PCI devices.  libvirt
uses drivers_probe to re-attach devices to the host after assignment
and is therefore a common trigger for this leak.

Example:

# cd /sys/bus/pci/
# dmesg -C
# echo 1 &gt; devices/0000\:01\:00.0/sriov_numvfs
# echo 0 &gt; devices/0000\:01\:00.0/sriov_numvfs

commit e4a60d139060975eb956717e4f63ae348d4d8cc5 upstream.

There is a race condition when removing glue directory.
It can be reproduced in following test:

path 1: Add first child device
device_add()
    get_device_parent()
            /*find parent from glue_dirs.list*/
            list_for_each_entry(k, &amp;dev-&gt;class-&gt;p-&gt;glue_dirs.list, entry)
                    if (k-&gt;parent == parent_kobj) {
                            kobj = kobject_get(k);
                            break;
                    }
            ....
            class_dir_create_and_add()

path2: Remove last child device under glue dir
device_del()
    cleanup_device_parent()
            cleanup_glue_dir()
                    kobject_put(glue_dir);

If path2 has been called cleanup_glue_dir(), but not
call kobject_put(glue_dir), the glue dir is still
in parent's kset list. Meanwhile, path1 find the glue
dir from the glue_dirs.list. Path2 may release glue dir
before path1 call kobject_get(). So kernel will report
the warning and bug_on.

This is a "classic" problem we have of a kref in a list
that can be found while the last instance could be removed
at the same time.

This patch reuse gdp_mutex to fix this race condition.

The following calltrace is captured in kernel 3.4, but
the latest kernel still has this bug.

commit d6b41cb06044a7d895db82bdd54f6e4219970510 upstream.

Since we cannot make sure the 'val_count' will always be none zero
here, and then if it equals to zero, the kmemdup() will return
ZERO_SIZE_PTR, which equals to ((void *)16).

So this patch fix this with just doing the zero check before calling
kmemdup().

commit 2c98e0c1cc6b8e86f1978286c3d4e0769ee9d733 upstream.

If 'map-&gt;dev' is NULL and there will lead dev_name() to be NULL pointer
dereference. So before dev_name(), we need to have check of the map-&gt;dev
pionter.

We also should make sure that the 'name' pointer shouldn't be NULL for
debugfs_create_dir(). So here using one default "dummy" debugfs name when
the 'name' pointer and 'map-&gt;dev' are both NULL.

commit 471b095dfe0d693a8d624cbc716d1ee4d74eb437 upstream.

An empty firmware request name will trigger warnings when building
device names. Make sure this is caught earlier and rejected.

The warning was visible via the test_firmware.ko module interface:

echo -ne "\x00" &gt; /sys/devices/virtual/misc/test_firmware/trigger_request

commit 5844a8b9d98ec11ce1d77610daacf3f0a0e14715 upstream.

A previous over-zealous factorisation of code means that we only treat
registers as volatile if they are readable. For most devices this is fine
since normally most registers can be read and volatility implies
readability but for format_write() devices where there is no readback from
the hardware and we use volatility to mean simply uncacheability this means
that we end up treating all registers as cacheble.

A bigger refactoring of the code to clarify this is in order but as a fix
make a minimal change and only check readability when checking volatility
if there is no format_write() operation defined for the device.

commit 58b116bce13612e5aa6fcd49ecbd4cf8bb59e835 upstream.

When the kernel is built with CONFIG_PREEMPT it is possible to reach a state
when all modules loaded but some driver still stuck in the deferred list
and there is a need for external event to kick the deferred queue to probe
these drivers.

The issue has been observed on embedded systems with CONFIG_PREEMPT enabled,
audio support built as modules and using nfsroot for root filesystem.

The following log fragment shows such sequence when all audio modules
were loaded but the sound card is not present since the machine driver has
failed to probe due to missing dependency during it's probe.
The board is am335x-evmsk (McASP&lt;-&gt;tlv320aic3106 codec) with davinci-evm
machine driver:

...
[   12.615118] davinci-mcasp 4803c000.mcasp: davinci_mcasp_probe: ENTER
[   12.719969] davinci_evm sound.3: davinci_evm_probe: ENTER

[   13.377446] platform sound.3: Driver davinci_evm requests probe deferral
[   13.592527] platform sound.3: really_probe: probe_count = 0

In the log the machine driver enters it's probe at 12.719969 (this point it
has been removed from the deferred lists). McASP driver already executing
it's probing (since 12.615118).
The machine driver tries to construct the sound card (12.950839) but did
not found one of the components so it fails. After this McASP driver
registers all the ASoC components (the machine driver still in it's probe
function after it failed to construct the card) and the deferred work is
prepared at 13.099026 (note that this time the machine driver is not in the
lists so it is not going to be handled when the work is executing).
Lastly the machine driver exit from it's probe and the core places it to
the deferred list but there will be no other driver going to load and the
deferred queue is not going to be kicked again - till we have external event
like connecting USB stick, etc.

The proposed solution is to try the deferred queue once more when the last
driver is asking for deferring and we had drivers loaded while this last
driver was probing.

This way we can avoid drivers stuck in the deferred queue.

<title>drivers/base/memory.c: fix show_mem_removable() to handle missing sections</title>

"cat /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/removable" crashed the system.

The problem is that show_mem_removable() is passing a
bad pfn to is_mem_section_removable(), which causes

    if (!node_online(page_to_nid(page)))

to blow up.  Why is it passing in a bad pfn?

The reason is that show_mem_removable() will loop sections_per_block
times.  sections_per_block is 16, but mem-&gt;section_count is 8,
indicating holes in this memory block.  Checking that the memory section
is present before checking to see if the memory section is removable
fixes the problem.
