commit 4617f564c06117c7d1b611be49521a4430042287 upstream.

When calling a dm ioctl that doesn't process any data
(IOCTL_FLAGS_NO_PARAMS), the contents of the data field in struct
dm_ioctl are left initialized.  Current code is incorrectly extending
the size of data copied back to user, causing the contents of kernel
stack to be leaked to user.  Fix by only copying contents before data
and allow the functions processing the ioctl to override.

The driver causes two warnings about possibly uninitialized variables:

drivers/infiniband/hw/ehca/ehca_mrmw.c: In function 'ehca_set_pagebuf':
drivers/infiniband/hw/ehca/ehca_mrmw.c:1908:4: warning: 'prev_pgaddr' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
drivers/infiniband/hw/ehca/ehca_mrmw.c:1924:14: note: 'prev_pgaddr' was declared here
drivers/infiniband/hw/ehca/ehca_mrmw.c: In function 'ehca_reg_mr':
drivers/infiniband/hw/ehca/ehca_mrmw.c:2430:5: warning: 'hret' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

The first one is definitely a false positive, the second one may or may not
be one. In both cases, adding an intialization is the safe and easy
workaround.

The driver was removed in mainline in commit e581d111dad3
("staging/rdma: remove deprecated ehca driver"), in linux-4.6.
In 4.4, the file is located in drivers/staging/rdma/ehca/ehca_mrmw.c,
and the fix still applies.

<title>IB/qib: rename BITS_PER_PAGE to RVT_BITS_PER_PAGE</title>

We get this build warning on arm64

drivers/infiniband/hw/qib/qib_qp.c:44:0: error: "BITS_PER_PAGE" redefined [-Werror]
 #define BITS_PER_PAGE           (PAGE_SIZE*BITS_PER_BYTE)

This is fixed upstream in commit 898fa52b4ac3 ("IB/qib: Remove qpn, qp tables and
related variables from qib"), which does a lot of other things as well.

Instead, I just backport the rename of the local BITS_PER_PAGE definition to
RVT_BITS_PER_PAGE.

The driver first showed up in linux-2.6.35, and the fixup should still apply
to that. The upstream fix went into v4.6, so we could apply this workaround
to both 3.18 and 4.4.

commit c130b666a9a711f985a0a44b58699ebe14bb7245 upstream.

Commit f209fa03fc9d ("serial: 8250_pci: Detach low-level driver during
PCI error recovery") introduces a potential use-after-free in case the
pciserial_init_ports call in serial8250_io_resume fails, which may
happen if a memory allocation fails or if the .init quirk failed for
whatever reason).  If this happen, further pci_get_drvdata will return a
pointer to freed memory.

This patch reworks the PCI recovery resume hook to restore the old priv
structure in this case, which should be ok, since the ports were already
detached. Such error during recovery causes us to give up on the
recovery.

commit 05dab43230fdc0d14ca885b473a2740fe017ecb1 upstream.

When an EEH occurs during device initialization, the port timeout logic
can cause excessive delays as MMIO reads will fail. Depending on where
they are experienced, these delays can lead to a prolonged reset,
causing an unnecessary triggering of other timeout logic in the SCSI
stack or user applications.

To expedite recovery, the port timeout logic is updated to decay the
timeout at a much faster rate when in the presence of a likely EEH
frozen event.

commit 1d3324c382b1a617eb567e3650dcb51f22dfec9a upstream.

The EEH reset handler is ignorant to the current state of the driver
when processing a frozen event and initiating a device reset. This can
be an issue if an EEH event occurs while a user or stack initiated reset
is executing. More specifically, if an EEH occurs while the SCSI host
reset handler is active, the reset initiated by the EEH thread will
likely collide with the host reset thread. This can leave the device in
an inconsistent state, or worse, cause a system crash.

As a remedy, the EEH handler is updated to evaluate the device state and
take appropriate action (proceed, wait, or disconnect host). The host
reset handler is also updated to handle situations where an EEH occurred
during a host reset. In such situations, the host reset handler will
delay reporting back a success to give the EEH reset an opportunity to
complete.

commit bbbfae962b7c221237c0f92547ee0c83f7204747 upstream.

When a port link is established, the AFU sends a 'link up' interrupt.
After the link is up, corresponding initialization steps are performed
on the card. Following that, when the card is ready for I/O, the AFU
sends 'login succeeded' interrupt. Today, cxlflash invokes
scsi_scan_host() upon receipt of both interrupts.

SCSI commands sent to the port prior to the 'login succeeded' interrupt
will fail with 'port not available' error. This is not desirable.
Moreover, when async_scan is active for the host, subsequent scan calls
are terminated with error. Due to this, the scsi_scan_host() call
performed after 'login succeeded' interrupt could portentially return
error and the devices may not be scanned properly.

To avoid this problem, scsi_scan_host() should be called only after the
'login succeeded' interrupt.

commit e434e04110704eb91acfecbd0fb8ca8e2da9c29b upstream.

The tg3_set_eeprom() function correctly initializes the 'start' variable,
but gcc generates a false warning:

drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/tg3.c: In function 'tg3_set_eeprom':
drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/tg3.c:12057:4: warning: 'start' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

I have not come up with a way to restructure the code in a way that
avoids the warning without making it less readable, so this adds an
initialization for the declaration to shut up that warning.

commit fddcca5107051adf9e4481d2a79ae0616577fd2c upstream.

When map_word gets too large, we use a lot of kernel stack, and for
MTD_MAP_BANK_WIDTH_32, this means we use more than the recommended
1024 bytes in a number of functions:

drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0020.c: In function 'cfi_staa_write_buffers':
drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0020.c:651:1: warning: the frame size of 1336 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0020.c: In function 'cfi_staa_erase_varsize':
drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0020.c:972:1: warning: the frame size of 1208 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0001.c: In function 'do_write_buffer':
drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0001.c:1835:1: warning: the frame size of 1240 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

This can be avoided if all operations on the map word are done
indirectly and the stack gets reused between the calls. We can
mostly achieve this by selecting MTD_COMPLEX_MAPPINGS whenever
MTD_MAP_BANK_WIDTH_32 is set, but for the case that no other
bank width is enabled, we also need to use a non-constant
map_bankwidth() to convince the compiler to use less stack.

[Brian: this patch mostly achieves its goal by forcing
    MTD_COMPLEX_MAPPINGS (and the accompanying indirection) for 256-bit
    mappings; the rest of the change is mostly a wash, though it helps
    reduce stack size slightly. If we really care about supporting
    256-bit mappings though, we should consider rewriting some of this
    code to avoid keeping and assigning so many 256-bit objects on the
    stack.]

commit fddcca5107051adf9e4481d2a79ae0616577fd2c upstream.

When map_word gets too large, we use a lot of kernel stack, and for
MTD_MAP_BANK_WIDTH_32, this means we use more than the recommended
1024 bytes in a number of functions:

drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0020.c: In function 'cfi_staa_write_buffers':
drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0020.c:651:1: warning: the frame size of 1336 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0020.c: In function 'cfi_staa_erase_varsize':
drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0020.c:972:1: warning: the frame size of 1208 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0001.c: In function 'do_write_buffer':
drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0001.c:1835:1: warning: the frame size of 1240 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

This can be avoided if all operations on the map word are done

commit 2630628b2dbc3fc320aafaf84836119e4e3d62f1 upstream.

Apparently we now implicitly get definitions for BITS_PER_PAGE and
BITS_PER_PAGE_MASK from the pid_namespace.h

Instead of renaming our defines, I chose to define only if not yet
defined, but to double check the value if already defined.
