commit 9d63f17661e25fd28714dac94bdebc4ff5b75f09 upstream.

There are two bugs in current intel_spi_sw_cycle():

- The 'data byte count' field should be the number of bytes
  transferred minus 1
- SSFSTS_CTL is the offset from ispi-&gt;sregs, not ispi-&gt;base

commit 1d2fcdcf33339c7c8016243de0f7f31cf6845e8d upstream.

For MT2701 NAND Controller, there may generate infinite ECC decode IRQ
during long time burn test on some platforms. Once this issue occurred,
the ECC decode IRQ status cannot be cleared in the IRQ handler function,
and threads cannot be scheduled.

ECC HW generates decode IRQ each sector, so there will have more than one
decode IRQ if read one page of large page NAND.

Currently, ECC IRQ handle flow is that we will check whether it is decode
IRQ at first by reading the register ECC_DECIRQ_STA. This is a read-clear
type register. If this IRQ is decode IRQ, then the ECC IRQ signal will be
cleared at the same time.
Secondly, we will check whether all sectors are decoded by reading the
register ECC_DECDONE. This is because the current IRQ may be not dealed
in time, and the next sectors have been decoded before reading the
register ECC_DECIRQ_STA. Then, the next sectors's decode IRQs will not
be generated.
Thirdly, if all sectors are decoded by comparing with ecc-&gt;sectors, then we
will complete ecc-&gt;done, set ecc-&gt;sectors as 0, and disable ECC IRQ by
programming the register ECC_IRQ_REG(op) as 0. Otherwise, wait for the
next ECC IRQ.

But, there is a timing issue between step one and two. When we read the
reigster ECC_DECIRQ_STA, all sectors are decoded except the last sector,
and the ECC IRQ signal is cleared. But the last sector is decoded before
reading ECC_DECDONE, so the ECC IRQ signal is enabled again by ECC HW, and
it means we will receive one extra ECC IRQ later. In step three, we will
find that all sectors were decoded, then disable ECC IRQ and return.
When deal with the extra ECC IRQ, the ECC IRQ status cannot be cleared
anymore. That is because the register ECC_DECIRQ_STA can only be cleared
when the register ECC_IRQ_REG(op) is enabled. But actually we have
disabled ECC IRQ in the previous ECC IRQ handle. So, there will
keep receiving ECC decode IRQ.

Now, we read the register ECC_DECIRQ_STA once again before completing the
ecc done event. This ensures that there will be no extra ECC decode IRQ.

Also, remove writel(0, ecc-&gt;regs + ECC_IRQ_REG(op)) from irq handler,
because ECC IRQ is disabled in mtk_ecc_disable(). And clear ECC_DECIRQ_STA
in mtk_ecc_disable() in case there is a timeout to wait decode IRQ.

commit 30863e38ebeb500a31cecee8096fb5002677dd9b upstream.

When mtdoops calls mtd_panic_write(), it eventually calls
panic_nand_write() in nand_base.c. In order to properly wait for the
nand chip to be ready in panic_nand_wait(), the chip must first be
selected.

When using the atmel nand flash controller, a panic would occur due to
a NULL pointer exception.

commit 739c64414f01748a36e7d82c8e0611dea94412bd upstream.

Since v4.12, NAND subpage writes were causing a NULL pointer
dereference on OMAP platforms (omap2-nand) using OMAP_ECC_BCH4_CODE_HW,
OMAP_ECC_BCH8_CODE_HW and OMAP_ECC_BCH16_CODE_HW.

This is because for those ECC modes, omap_calculate_ecc_bch()
generates ECC bytes for the entire (multi-sector) page and this can
overflow the ECC buffer provided by nand_write_subpage_hwecc()
as it expects ecc.calculate() to return ECC bytes for just one sector.

However, the root cause of the problem is present since v3.9
but was not seen then as NAND buffers were being allocated
as one big chunk prior to commit 3deb9979c731 ("mtd: nand: allocate
aligned buffers if NAND_OWN_BUFFERS is unset").

Fix the issue by providing a OMAP optimized write_subpage()
implementation.

commit 1530578abdac4edce9244c7a1962ded3ffdb58ce upstream.

Commit e8e3edb95ce6 ("mtd: create per-device and module-scope debugfs
entries") tried to make MTD related debugfs stuff consistent across the
MTD framework by creating a root &lt;debugfs&gt;/mtd/ directory containing
one directory per MTD device.

The problem is that, by default, the MTD layer only registers the
master device if no partitions are defined for this master. This
behavior breaks all drivers that expect mtd-&gt;dbg.dfs_dir to be filled
correctly after calling mtd_device_register() in order to add their own
debugfs entries.

The only way we can force all MTD masters to be registered no matter if
they expose partitions or not is by enabling the
CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONED_MASTER option.

In such situations, there's no other solution but to accept skipping
debugfs initialization when dbg.dfs_dir is invalid, and when this
happens, inform the user that he should consider enabling
CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONED_MASTER.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<id>b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd</id>
<content type='text'>
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15

Commit 1eeef2d7483a ("mtd: handle partitioning on devices with 0
erasesize") introduced a regression on heterogeneous erase region
devices. Alignment of the partition was tested against the master
eraseblock size which can be bigger than the slave one, thus leading
to some partitions being marked as read-only.

Update wr_alignment to match this slave erasesize after this erasesize
has been determined by picking the biggest erasesize of all the regions
embedded in the MTD partition.
