commit e21404dc0ac7ac971c1e36274b48bb460463f4e5 upstream.

Loading ipmi_si module while bmc is disconnected, we found the timeout
is longer than 5 secs.  Actually it takes about 3 mins and 20
secs.(HZ=250)

error message as below:
  Dec 12 19:08:59 linux kernel: IPMI BT: timeout in RD_WAIT [ ] 1 retries left
  Dec 12 19:08:59 linux kernel: BT: write 4 bytes seq=0x01 03 18 00 01
  [...]
  Dec 12 19:12:19 linux kernel: IPMI BT: timeout in RD_WAIT [ ]
  Dec 12 19:12:19 linux kernel: failed 2 retries, sending error response
  Dec 12 19:12:19 linux kernel: IPMI: BT reset (takes 5 secs)
  Dec 12 19:12:19 linux kernel: IPMI BT: flag reset [ ]

Function wait_for_msg_done() use schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(1) to
sleep 1 tick, so we should subtract jiffies_to_usecs(1) instead of 100
usecs from timeout.

<title>ipmi: move timer init to before irq is setup</title>

commit 27f972d3e00b50639deb4cc1392afaeb08d3cecc upstream.

We encountered a panic on boot in ipmi_si on a dell per320 due to an
uninitialized timer as follows.

static int smi_start_processing(void       *send_info,
                                ipmi_smi_t intf)
{
        /* Try to claim any interrupts. */
        if (new_smi-&gt;irq_setup)
                new_smi-&gt;irq_setup(new_smi);

 --&gt; IRQ arrives here and irq handler tries to modify uninitialized timer

    which triggers BUG_ON(!timer-&gt;function) in __mod_timer().

 Call Trace:
   &lt;IRQ&gt;
   [&lt;ffffffffa0532617&gt;] start_new_msg+0x47/0x80 [ipmi_si]

        /* Set up the timer that drives the interface. */
        setup_timer(&amp;new_smi-&gt;si_timer, smi_timeout, (long)new_smi);

The following patch fixes the problem.

commit a94cdd1f4d30f12904ab528152731fb13a812a16 upstream.

In read_all_bytes, we do

  unsigned char i;
  ...
  bt-&gt;read_data[0] = BMC2HOST;
  bt-&gt;read_count = bt-&gt;read_data[0];
  ...
  for (i = 1; i &lt;= bt-&gt;read_count; i++)
    bt-&gt;read_data[i] = BMC2HOST;

If bt-&gt;read_data[0] == bt-&gt;read_count == 255, we loop infinitely in the
'for' loop.  Make 'i' an 'int' instead of 'char' to get rid of the
overflow and finish the loop after 255 iterations every time.

commit 6368087e851e697679af059b4247aca33a69cef3 upstream.

When a 32 bit version of ipmitool is used on a 64 bit kernel, the
ipmi_devintf code fails to correctly acquire ipmi_mutex.  This results in
incomplete data being retrieved in some cases, or other possible failures.
Add a wrapper around compat_ipmi_ioctl() to take ipmi_mutex to fix this.

commit a5f2b3d6a738e7d4180012fe7b541172f8c8dcea upstream.

<title>ipmi_watchdog: restore settings when BMC reset</title>

If the BMC gets reset, it will return 0x80 response errors.

In less than a week
# grep "Error 80 on cmd 22" /var/log/kernel |wc -l
378681

In this case, it is probably a good idea to restore the IPMI settings.

<title>x86, nmi: Wire up NMI handlers to new routines</title>

<content type='text'>
Just convert all the files that have an nmi handler to the new routines.
Most of it is straight forward conversion.  A couple of places needed some
tweaking like kgdb which separates the debug notifier from the nmi handler
and mce removes a call to notify_die.

[Thanks to Ying for finding out the history behind that mce call

https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/5/27/114

And Boris responding that he would like to remove that call because of it

https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/9/21/163]

The things that get converted are the registeration/unregistration routines
and the nmi handler itself has its args changed along with code removal
to check which list it is on (most are on one NMI list except for kgdb
which has both an NMI routine and an NMI Unknown routine).

This allows us to move duplicated code in &lt;asm/atomic.h&gt;
(atomic_inc_not_zero() for now) to &lt;linux/atomic.h&gt;

<title>drivercore: revert addition of of_match to struct device</title>

Commit b826291c, "drivercore/dt: add a match table pointer to struct
device" added an of_match pointer to struct device to cache the
of_match_table entry discovered at driver match time.  This was unsafe
because matching is not an atomic operation with probing a driver.  If
two or more drivers are attempted to be matched to a driver at the
same time, then the cached matching entry pointer could get
overwritten.

This patch reverts the of_match cache pointer and reworks all users to
call of_match_device() directly instead.
