commit 34563769e438d2881f62cf4d9badc4e589ac0ec0 upstream.

Commit c6017e793b93 ("virtio: console: add locks around buffer removal
in port unplug path") added locking around the freeing of buffers in the
vq. However, when free_buf() is called with can_sleep = true and rproc
is enabled, it calls dma_free_coherent() directly, requiring interrupts
to be enabled. Currently a WARNING is triggered due to the spin locking
around free_buf, with a call stack like this:

WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 121 at ./include/linux/dma-mapping.h:433
free_buf+0x1a8/0x288

Fix this by restructuring the loops to allow the locks to only be taken
where it is necessary to protect the vqs, and release it while the
buffer is being freed.

commit ad8529fde9e3601180a839867a8ab041109aebb5 upstream.

Currently omap-rng checks the return value of pm_runtime_get_sync and
reports failure if anything is returned, however it should be checking
if ret &lt; 0 as pm_runtime_get_sync return 0 on success but also can return
1 if the device was already active which is not a failure case. Only
values &lt; 0 are actual failures.

commit 61dc0a446e5d08f2de8a24b45f69a1e302bb1b1b upstream.

pm_runtime_get_sync does return a error value that must be checked for
error conditions, else, due to various reasons, the device maynot be
enabled and the system will crash due to lack of clock to the hardware
module.

<title>x86/mm/pat, /dev/mem: Remove superfluous error message</title>

commit 39380b80d72723282f0ea1d1bbf2294eae45013e upstream.

Currently it's possible for broken (or malicious) userspace to flood a
kernel log indefinitely with messages a-la

	Program dmidecode tried to access /dev/mem between f0000-&gt;100000

because range_is_allowed() is case of CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM being turned on
dumps this information each and every time devmem_is_allowed() fails.

Reportedly userspace that is able to trigger contignuous flow of these
messages exists.

It would be possible to rate limit this message, but that'd have a
questionable value; the administrator wouldn't get information about all
the failing accessess, so then the information would be both superfluous
and incomplete at the same time :)

Returning EPERM (which is what is actually happening) is enough indication
for userspace what has happened; no need to log this particular error as
some sort of special condition.

<title>vTPM: fix memory allocation flag for rtce buffer at kernel boot</title>

commit 60ecd86c4d985750efa0ea3d8610972b09951715 upstream.

At ibm vtpm initialzation, tpm_ibmvtpm_probe() registers its interrupt
handler, ibmvtpm_interrupt, which calls ibmvtpm_crq_process to allocate
memory for rtce buffer.  The current code uses 'GFP_KERNEL' as the
type of kernel memory allocation, which resulted a warning at
kernel/lockdep.c.  This patch uses 'GFP_ATOMIC' instead so that the
allocation is high-priority and does not sleep.

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]
   [&lt;ffffffffa053269e&gt;] start_check_enables+0x4e/0x60 [ipmi_si]

   [&lt;ffffffff8154643c&gt;] do_IRQ+0x6c/0xf0

        /* 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.

<title>ipmi: fix timeout calculation when bmc is disconnected</title>

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.
