commit 32d33b29ba077d6b45de35f2181e0a7411b162f4 upstream.

If the TPM has already been sent a SaveState command before the driver
is loaded it may have problems sending that same command again later.

This issue is seen with the Chromebook Pixel due to a firmware bug in
the legacy mode boot path which is sending the SaveState command
before booting the kernel.  More information is available at
http://crbug.com/203524

This change introduces a retry of the SaveState command in the suspend
path in order to work around this issue.  A future firmware update
should fix this but this is also a trivial workaround in the driver
that has no effect on systems that do not show this problem.

When this does happen the TPM responds with a non-fatal TPM_RETRY code
that is defined in the specification:

  The TPM is too busy to respond to the command immediately, but the
  command could be resubmitted at a later time.  The TPM MAY return
  TPM_RETRY for any command at any time.

It can take several seconds before the TPM will respond again.  I
measured a typical time between 3 and 4 seconds and the timeout is set
at a safe 5 seconds.

It is also possible to reproduce this with commands via /dev/tpm0.
The bug linked above has a python script attached which can be used to
test for this problem.  I tested a variety of TPMs from Infineon,
Nuvoton, Atmel, and STMicro but was only able to reproduce this with
LPC and I2C TPMs from Infineon.

The TPM specification only loosely defines this behavior:

  TPM Main Level 2 Part 3 v1.2 r116, section 3.3. TPM_SaveState:
  The TPM MAY declare all preserved values invalid in response to any
  command other than TPM_Init.

  TCG PC Client BIOS Spec 1.21 section 8.3.1.
  After issuing a TPM_SaveState command, the OS SHOULD NOT issue TPM
  commands before transitioning to S3 without issuing another
  TPM_SaveState command.

  TCG PC Client TIS 1.21, section 4. Power Management:
  The TPM_SaveState command allows a Static OS to indicate to the TPM
  that the platform may enter a low power state where the TPM will be
  required to enter into the D3 power state.  The use of the term "may"
  is significant in that there is no requirement for the platform to
  actually enter the low power state after sending the TPM_SaveState
  command.  The software may, in fact, send subsequent commands after
  sending the TPM_SaveState command.

This is my example conversion of a few existing mmap users.  The HPET
case is simple, widely available, and easy to test (Clemens Ladisch sent

<title>virtio: console: add locking around c_ovq operations</title>

commit 9ba5c80b1aea8648a3efe5f22dc1f7cacdfbeeb8 upstream.

When multiple ovq operations are being performed (lots of open/close
operations on virtio_console fds), the __send_control_msg() function can
get confused without locking.

A simple recipe to cause badness is:
* create a QEMU VM with two virtio-serial ports
* in the guest, do
  while true;do echo abc &gt;/dev/vport0p1;done
  while true;do echo edf &gt;/dev/vport0p2;done

In one run, this caused a panic in __send_control_msg().  In another, I
got

   virtio_console virtio0: control-o:id 0 is not a head!

This also results repeated messages similar to these on the host:

  qemu-kvm: virtio-serial-bus: Unexpected port id 478762112 for device virtio-serial-bus.0
  qemu-kvm: virtio-serial-bus: Unexpected port id 478762368 for device virtio-serial-bus.0

commit 165b1b8bbc17c9469b053bab78b11b7cbce6d161 upstream.

The cvq_lock was taken for the c_ivq.  Rename the lock to make that
obvious.

We'll also add a lock around the c_ovq in the next commit, so there's no
ambiguity.

commit e84e7a56a3aa2963db506299e29a5f3f09377f9b upstream.

The code currently only supports one virtio-rng device at a time.
Invoking guests with multiple devices causes the guest to blow up.

Check if we've already registered and initialised the driver.  Also
cleanup in case of registration errors or hot-unplug so that a new
device can be used.

<title>random: fix locking dependency with the tasklist_lock</title>

commit b980955236922ae6106774511c5c05003d3ad225 upstream.

Commit 6133705494bb introduced a circular lock dependency because
posix_cpu_timers_exit() is called by release_task(), which is holding
a writer lock on tasklist_lock, and this can cause a deadlock since
kill_fasync() gets called with nonblocking_pool.lock taken.

There's no reason why kill_fasync() needs to be taken while the random
pool is locked, so move it out to fix this locking dependency.

commit f7f154f1246ccc5a0a7e9ce50932627d60a0c878 upstream.

virtio_rng feeds the randomness buffer handed by the core directly
into the scatterlist, since commit bb347d98079a547e80bd4722dee1de61e4dca0e8.

However, if CONFIG_HW_RANDOM=m, the static buffer isn't a linear address
(at least on most archs).  We could fix this in virtio_rng, but it's actually
far easier to just do it in the core as virtio_rng would have to allocate
a buffer every time (it doesn't know how much the core will want to read).

Don't access uninitialized work-queue when removing device.
The work queue is initialized only if the device multi-queue.
So don't call cancel_work unless this is a multi-queue device.

This fixes the following panic:

Don't access uninitialized work-queue when removing device.
The work queue is initialized only if the device multi-queue.
So don't call cancel_work unless this is a multi-queue device.

This fixes the following panic:

Kernel panic - not syncing: BUG!

<title>Drivers: char: remove __dev* attributes.</title>

<id>bcd2982a0e2af8d0506271b439af4b568fc33fdc</id>
<content type='text'>
CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.

This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
__devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.

Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

Pull virtio update from Rusty Russell:
 "Some nice cleanups, and even a patch my wife did as a "live" demo for
  Latinoware 2012.

  There's a slightly non-trivial merge in virtio-net, as we cleaned up
  the virtio add_buf interface while DaveM accepted the mq virtio-net
  patches."

  virtio_console: Add support for remoteproc serial
  virtio_console: Merge struct buffer_token into struct port_buffer
  virtio: add drv_to_virtio to make code clearly
  virtio: use dev_to_virtio wrapper in virtio
  virtio-mmio: Fix irq parsing in command line parameter
