[ Upstream commit 7962c82a6e648d07bf0067796e4a0e69ba1fc702 ]

Running 'pcitest -b 0' fails with "TEST FAILED" when the BAR0 size
is e.g. 8 GB.

The return value of the pci_resource_len() macro can be larger than that
of a signed integer type. Thus, when using 'pcitest' with an 8 GB BAR,
the bar_size of the integer type will overflow.

Change bar_size from integer to resource_size_t to prevent integer
overflow for large BAR sizes with 32-bit compilers.

In order to handle 64-bit resource_type_t on 32-bit platforms, we would
have needed to use a function like div_u64() or similar. Instead, change
the code to use addition instead of division. This avoids the need for
div_u64() or similar, while also simplifying the code.

This reverts commit 235b630eda072d7e7b102ab346d6b8a2c028a772.

This commit was found responsible for issues with SD card recognition,
as users had to re-insert their cards in the readers and wait for a
while. As for some people the SD card was involved in the boot process
it also caused boot failures.

GCC versions below 13 incorrectly detect the copy size as being static and too
small to fit in the "fds" array. Work around this by explicitly calculating the
size and returning EINVAL based on that, instead of based on the object count.

The dev_id value in the GPIO lookup table must match to
the device instance name, which in this case is combined
of name and platform device ID, i.e. "spi_gpio.1". But
the table assumed that there was no platform device ID
defined, which is wrong. Fix the dev_id value accordingly.

<title>mei: vsc: Use "wakeuphostint" when getting the host wakeup GPIO</title>
<updated>2025-02-19T13:47:35+00:00</updated>

<id>fdb1ada57cf8b8752cdf54f08709d76d74999544</id>
<content type='text'>
The _CRS ACPI resources table has 2 entries for the host wakeup GPIO,
the first one being a regular GpioIo () resource while the second one
is a GpioInt () resource for the same pin.

The acpi_gpio_mapping table used by vsc-tp.c maps the first Gpio ()
resource to "wakeuphost-gpios" where as the second GpioInt () entry
is mapped to "wakeuphostint-gpios".

Using "wakeuphost" to request the GPIO as was done until now, means
that the gpiolib-acpi code does not know that the GPIO is active-low
as that info is only available in the GpioInt () entry.

Things were still working before due to the following happening:

1. Since the 2 entries point to the same pin they share a struct gpio_desc
2. The SPI core creates the SPI device vsc-tp.c binds to and calls
   acpi_dev_gpio_irq_get(). This does use the second entry and sets
   FLAG_ACTIVE_LOW in gpio_desc.flags .
3. vsc_tp_probe() requests the "wakeuphost" GPIO and inherits the
   active-low flag set by acpi_dev_gpio_irq_get()

But there is a possible scenario where things do not work:

1. - 3. happen as above
4. After requesting the "wakeuphost" GPIO, the "resetfw" GPIO is requested
   next, but its USB GPIO controller is not available yet, so this call
   returns -EPROBE_DEFER.
5. The gpio_desc for "wakeuphost" is put() and during this the active-low
   flag is cleared from gpio_desc.flags .
6. Later on vsc_tp_probe() requests the "wakeuphost" GPIO again, but now it
   is not marked active-low.

The difference can also be seen in /sys/kernel/debug/gpio, which contains
the following line for this GPIO:

 gpio-535 (                    |wakeuphost          ) in  hi IRQ ACTIVE LOW

If the second scenario is hit the "ACTIVE LOW" at the end disappears and
things do not work.

Fix this by requesting the GPIO through the "wakeuphostint" mapping instead
which provides active-low info without relying on acpi_dev_gpio_irq_get()
pre-populating this info in the gpio_desc.

<title>treewide: const qualify ctl_tables where applicable</title>

<id>1751f872cc97f992ed5c4c72c55588db1f0021e1</id>

Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for
watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls,
loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net,
drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a
registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or
modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function.

Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of
proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata.
This is made possible after commit 78eb4ea25cd5 ("sysctl: treewide:
constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers") constified all the
proc_handlers.

Created this by running an spatch followed by a sed command:
Spatch:
    virtual patch

    @
    depends on !(file in "net")
    disable optional_qualifier
    @

    identifier table_name != {
      watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl,
      iwcm_ctl_table,
      ucma_ctl_table,
      memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls,
      loadpin_sysctl_table
    };
    @@

    + const
    struct ctl_table table_name [] = { ... };

      -e "s/struct ctl_table .table = &amp;uts_kern/const struct ctl_table *table = \&amp;uts_kern/" \

Pull Char/Misc/IIO driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the "big" set of char/misc/iio and other smaller driver
  subsystem updates for 6.14-rc1. Loads of different things in here this
  development cycle, highlights are:

   - ntsync "driver" to handle Windows locking types enabling Wine to
     work much better on many workloads (i.e. games). The driver
     framework was in 6.13, but now it's enabled and fully working
     properly. Should make many SteamOS users happy. Even comes with
     tests!

   - Large IIO driver updates and bugfixes

   - FPGA driver updates

   - Coresight driver updates

   - MHI driver updates

   - PPS driver updatesa

   - const bin_attribute reworking for many drivers

   - binder driver updates

   - smaller driver updates and fixes

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