commit 249bfb83cf8ba658955f0245ac3981d941f746ee upstream.

Devices are added to pci_pme_list when drivers use pci_enable_wake()
or pci_wake_from_d3(), but they aren't removed from the list unless
the driver explicitly disables wakeup.  Many drivers never disable
wakeup, so their devices remain on the list even after they are
removed, e.g., via hotplug.  A subsequent PME poll will oops when
it tries to touch the device.

This patch disables PME# on a device before removing it, which removes
the device from pci_pme_list.  This is safe even if the device never
had PME# enabled.

This oops can be triggered by unplugging a Thunderbolt ethernet adapter
on a Macbook Pro, as reported by Daniel below.

<title>drivers/rtc/rtc-pl031.c: restore ST variant functionality</title>

commit 3399cfb5df9594495b876d1843a7165f77366b2b upstream.

Commit e7e034e18a0a ("drivers/rtc/rtc-pl031.c: fix the missing operation
on enable") accidentally broke the ST variants of PL031.

The bit that is being poked as "clockwatch" enable bit for the ST
variants does the work of bit 0 on this variant.  Bit 0 is used for a
clock divider on the ST variants, and setting it to 1 will affect
timekeeping in a very bad way.

<title>drm/nouveau: add lockdep annotations</title>

commit 5f97ab913cf0fbc378ea8ffc3ee66f4890d11c55 upstream.

1) Lockdep thinks all nouveau subdevs belong to the same class and can be
locked in arbitrary order, which is not true (at least in general case).
Tell it to distinguish subdevs by (o)class type.
2) DRM client can be locked under user client lock - tell lockdep to put
DRM client lock in a separate class.

[ Upstream commit 48856286b64e4b66ec62b94e504d0b29c1ade664 ]

A buggy or malicious frontend should not be able to confuse netback.
If we spot anything which is not as it should be then shutdown the
device and don't try to continue with the ring in a potentially
hostile state. Well behaved and non-hostile frontends will not be
penalised.

As well as making the existing checks for such errors fatal also add a
new check that ensures that there isn't an insane number of requests
on the ring (i.e. more than would fit in the ring). If the ring
contains garbage then previously is was possible to loop over this
insane number, getting an error each time and therefore not generating
any more pending requests and therefore not exiting the loop in
xen_netbk_tx_build_gops for an externded period.

Also turn various netdev_dbg calls which no precipitate a fatal error
into netdev_err, they are rate limited because the device is shutdown
afterwards.

This fixes at least one known DoS/softlockup of the backend domain.

[ Upstream commit ab54ee80aa7585f9666ff4dd665441d7ce41f1e8 ]

We have conflicting type qualifiers for "freg_t" in s390's ptrace.h and the
iphase atm device driver, which causes the compile error below.
Unfortunately the s390 typedef can't be renamed, since it's a user visible api,
nor can I change the include order in s390 code to avoid the conflict.

So simply rename the iphase typedef to a new name. Fixes this compile error:

1) rhine_tx() should use dev_kfree_skb() not dev_kfree_skb_irq()

2) rhine_slow_event_task's NAPI triggering logic is racey, it
   should just hit the interrupt mask register.  This is the
   same as commit 7dbb491878a2c51d372a8890fa45a8ff80358af1
   ("r8169: avoid NAPI scheduling delay.") made to fix the same
   problem in the r8169 driver.  From Francois Romieu.

[ Upstream commit 794ed393b707f01858f5ebe2ae5eabaf89d00022 ]

Ben Greear reported crashes in ip_rcv_finish() on a stress
test involving many macvlans.

We tracked the bug to a dst use after free. ip_rcv_finish()
was calling dst-&gt;input() and got garbage for dst-&gt;input value.

It appears the bug is in loopback driver, lacking
a skb_dst_force() before calling netif_rx().

As a result, a non refcounted dst, normally protected by a
RCU read_lock section, was escaping this section and could
be freed before the packet being processed.
