commit d23d12484307b40eea549b8a858f5fffad913897 upstream.

When an application sends TPM commands in NONBLOCKING mode
the driver holds chip-&gt;tpm_mutex returning from write(),
which triggers: "WARNING: lock held when returning to user space".
To fix this issue the driver needs to release the mutex before
returning and acquire it again in tpm_dev_async_work() before
sending the command.

<title>tpm_tis: reserve chip for duration of tpm_tis_core_init</title>

commit 21df4a8b6018b842d4db181a8b24166006bad3cd upstream.

Instead of repeatedly calling tpm_chip_start/tpm_chip_stop when
issuing commands to the tpm during initialization, just reserve the
chip after wait_startup, and release it when we are ready to call
tpm_chip_register.

<title>ipmi: Don't allow device module unload when in use</title>

[ Upstream commit cbb79863fc3175ed5ac506465948b02a893a8235 ]

If something has the IPMI driver open, don't allow the device
module to be unloaded.  Before it would unload and the user would
get errors on use.

This change is made on user request, and it makes it consistent
with the I2C driver, which has the same behavior.

It does change things a little bit with respect to kernel users.
If the ACPI or IPMI watchdog (or any other kernel user) has
created a user, then the device module cannot be unloaded.  Before
it could be unloaded,

This does not affect hot-plug.  If the device goes away (it's on
something removable that is removed or is hot-removed via sysfs)
then it still behaves as it did before.

When unloading omap3-rom-rng, we'll get the following:

This is because the clock may be already disabled by omap3_rom_rng_idle().

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.

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.

<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.
