commit 998174042da229e2cf5841f574aba4a743e69650 upstream.

Going through the uses of timeval in the user space API,
I noticed two bugs in ppdev that were introduced in the y2038
conversion:

* The range check was accidentally moved from ppsettime to
  ppgettime

* On sparc64, the microseconds are in the other half of the
  64-bit word.

Fix both, and mark the fix for stable backports.

commit be867f987a4e1222114dd07a01838a17c26f3fff upstream.

Existing RNG data read timeout is 200us but it doesn't cover EIP76 RNG
data rate which takes approx. 700us to produce 16 bytes of output data
as per testing results. So configure the timeout as 1000us to also take
account of lack of udelay()'s reliability.

commit 9c8c5742b6af76a3fd93b4e56d1d981173cf9016 upstream.

platform_get_irq() calls dev_err() on an error. As the IRQ usage in the
tpm_tis driver is optional, this is undesirable.

Specifically this leads to this new false-positive error being logged:
[    5.135413] tpm_tis MSFT0101:00: IRQ index 0 not found

This commit switches to platform_get_irq_optional(), which does not log
an error, fixing this.

commit 45a2d64696b11913bcf1087b041740edbade3e21 upstream.

The layout of struct timeval is different on sparc64 from
anything else, and the patch I did long ago failed to take
this into account.

Change it now to handle sparc64 user space correctly again.

Quite likely nobody cares about parallel ports on sparc64,
but there is no reason not to fix it.

<title>virtio_console: allocate inbufs in add_port() only if it is needed</title>

When we hot unplug a virtserialport and then try to hot plug again,
it fails:

(qemu) chardev-add socket,id=serial0,path=/tmp/serial0,server,nowait
(qemu) device_add virtserialport,bus=virtio-serial0.0,nr=2,\
                  chardev=serial0,id=serial0,name=serial0
(qemu) device_del serial0
(qemu) device_add virtserialport,bus=virtio-serial0.0,nr=2,\
                  chardev=serial0,id=serial0,name=serial0
kernel error:
  virtio-ports vport2p2: Error allocating inbufs
qemu error:
  virtio-serial-bus: Guest failure in adding port 2 for device \
                     virtio-serial0.0

This happens because buffers for the in_vq are allocated when the port is
added but are not released when the port is unplugged.

They are only released when virtconsole is removed (see a7a69ec0d8e4)

To avoid the problem and to be symmetric, we could allocate all the buffers
in init_vqs() as they are released in remove_vqs(), but it sounds like
a waste of memory.

Rather than that, this patch changes add_port() logic to ignore ENOSPC
error in fill_queue(), which means queue has already been filled.

Merge active entropy generation updates.

This is admittedly partly "for discussion".  We need to have a way
forward for the boot time deadlocks where user space ends up waiting for
more entropy, but no entropy is forthcoming because the system is
entirely idle just waiting for something to happen.

While this was triggered by what is arguably a user space bug with
GDM/gnome-session asking for secure randomness during early boot, when
they didn't even need any such truly secure thing, the issue ends up
being that our "getrandom()" interface is prone to that kind of
confusion, because people don't think very hard about whether they want
to block for sufficient amounts of entropy.

The approach here-in is to decide to not just passively wait for entropy
to happen, but to start actively collecting it if it is missing.  This
is not necessarily always possible, but if the architecture has a CPU
cycle counter, there is a fair amount of noise in the exact timings of
reasonably complex loads.

We may end up tweaking the load and the entropy estimates, but this
should be at least a reasonable starting point.

As part of this, we also revert the revert of the ext4 IO pattern
improvement that ended up triggering the reported lack of external
entropy.

Merge active entropy generation updates.

This is admittedly partly "for discussion".  We need to have a way
forward for the boot time deadlocks where user space ends up waiting for
more entropy, but no entropy is forthcoming because the system is
entirely idle just waiting for something to happen.

While this was triggered by what is arguably a user space bug with
GDM/gnome-session asking for secure randomness during early boot, when
they didn't even need any such truly secure thing, the issue ends up
being that our "getrandom()" interface is prone to that kind of
confusion, because people don't think very hard about whether they want
to block for sufficient amounts of entropy.
