[ Upstream commit cc1a2679865a94b83804822996eed010a50a7c1d ]

Since struct _mic_vring_info and vring are allocated together and follow
vring, if the vring_size() is not four bytes aligned, which will cause
the start address of struct _mic_vring_info is not four byte aligned.
For example, when vring entries is 128, the vring_size() will be 5126
bytes. The _mic_vring_info struct layout in ddr looks like:
0x90002400:  00000000 00390000 EE010000 0000C0FF
Here 0x39 is the avail_idx member, and 0xC0FFEE01 is the magic member.

When EP use ioread32(magic) to reads the magic in RC's share memory, it
will cause kernel panic on ARM64 platform due to the cross-byte io read.
Here read magic in user space use le32toh(vr0-&gt;info-&gt;magic) will meet
the same issue.
So add round_up(x,4) for vring_size, then the struct _mic_vring_info
will store in this way:
0x90002400:  00000000 00000000 00000039 C0FFEE01
Which will avoid kernel panic when read magic in struct _mic_vring_info.

Read and write io memory should address align on ARCH ARM. Change to use
memcpy_toio to avoid kernel panic caused by the address un-align issue.

<title>mic: vop: Fix use-after-free on remove</title>

commit 70ed7148dadb812f2f7c9927e98ef3cf4869dfa9 upstream.

KASAN detects a use-after-free when vop devices are removed.

This problem was introduced by commit 0063e8bbd2b62d136 ("virtio_vop:
don't kfree device on register failure").  That patch moved the freeing
of the struct _vop_vdev to the release function, but failed to ensure
that vop holds a reference to the device when it doesn't want it to go
away.  A kfree() was replaced with a put_device() in the unregistration
path, but the last reference to the device is already dropped in
unregister_virtio_device() so the struct is freed before vop is done
with it.

Fix it by holding a reference until cleanup is done.  This is similar to
the fix in virtio_pci in commit 2989be09a8a9d6 ("virtio_pci: fix use
after free on release").

<title>vfs: do bulk POLL* -&gt; EPOLL* replacement</title>

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
        L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
        for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\&lt;POLL$V\&gt;\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big pull request for char/misc drivers for 4.16-rc1.

  There's a lot of stuff in here. Three new driver subsystems were added
  for various types of hardware busses:

   - siox
   - slimbus
   - soundwire

  as well as a new vboxguest subsystem for the VirtualBox hypervisor
  drivers.

  There's also big updates from the FPGA subsystem, lots of Android
  binder fixes, the usual handful of hyper-v updates, and lots of other
  smaller driver updates.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a long time, with no reported
  issues"

As mentioned at drivers/base/core.c:
/*
 * NOTE: _Never_ directly free @dev after calling this function, even
 * if it returned an error! Always use put_device() to give up the
 * reference initialized in this function instead.
 */
so we don't free vdev until vdev-&gt;vdev.dev.release be called.

The label 'done' in function vop_ioctl is not used, so remove it. Fixes
build warning:
