[ Upstream commit 16214bd9e43a31683a7073664b000029bba00354 ]

The following warning from the refcount framework is seen during ghes
initialization:

  EDAC MC0: Giving out device to module ghes_edac.c controller ghes_edac: DEV ghes (INTERRUPT)
  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  refcount_t: increment on 0; use-after-free.
  WARNING: CPU: 36 PID: 1 at lib/refcount.c:156 refcount_inc_checked
 [...]
  Call trace:
   refcount_inc_checked
   ghes_edac_register
   ghes_probe
   ...

It warns if the refcount is incremented from zero. This warning is
reasonable as a kernel object is typically created with a refcount of
one and freed once the refcount is zero. Afterwards the object would be
"used-after-free".

For GHES, the refcount is initialized with zero, and that is why this
message is seen when initializing the first instance. However, whenever
the refcount is zero, the device will be allocated and registered. Since
the ghes_reg_mutex protects the refcount and serializes allocation and
freeing of ghes devices, a use-after-free cannot happen here.

Instead of using refcount_inc() for the first instance, use
refcount_set(). This can be used here because the refcount is zero at
this point and can not change due to its protection by the mutex.

[ Upstream commit 58e39a2ce4be08162c0368030cdc405f7fd849aa ]

When a port sends PLOGI, discovery state should be changed to login
pending, otherwise RELOGIN_NEEDED bit is set in
qla24xx_handle_plogi_done_event(). RELOGIN_NEEDED triggers another PLOGI,
and it never goes out of the loop until login timer expires.

With commit 6ce220dd2f8ea71d6afc29b9a7524c12e39f374a ("raid5: don't set
STRIPE_HANDLE to stripe which is in batch list"), we don't want to set
STRIPE_HANDLE flag for sh which is already in batch list.

However, the stripe which is the head of batch list should set this flag,
otherwise panic could happen inside init_stripe at BUG_ON(sh-&gt;batch_head),
it is reproducible with raid5 on top of nvdimm devices per Xiao oberserved.

Thanks for Xiao's effort to verify the change.

commit 7e7c005b4b1f1f169bcc4b2c3a40085ecc663df2 upstream.

When setting the time in the future with the uie timer enabled,
rtc_timer_do_work will loop for a while because the expiration of the uie
timer was way before the current RTC time and a new timer will be enqueued
until the current rtc time is reached.

If the uie timer is enabled, disable it before setting the time and enable
it after expiring current timers (which may actually be an alarm).

This is the safest thing to do to ensure the uie timer is still
synchronized with the RTC, especially in the UIE emulation case.

commit ff34f3cce278a0982a7b66b1afaed6295141b1fc upstream.

The 'a0' member of 'struct arm_smccc_res' is declared as 'unsigned long',
however the Qualcomm SCM firmware interface driver expects to receive
negative error codes via this field, so ensure that it's cast to 'long'
before comparing to see if it is less than 0.

[ Upstream commit 3b71f6b59508b1c9befcb43de434866aafc76520 ]

Each time we need to read a sample (from the sysfs interface, since the
driver supports only it) the driver writes the configuration register
with the proper settings needed to perform the said read, then it runs
another xfer to actually read the resulting value. Most notably the
configuration register is updated to set the ADC internal MUX depending by
which channel the read targets.

Unfortunately this seems not enough to ensure correct operation because
the ADC works in a pipelined-like fashion and the new configuration isn't
applied in time.

The ADC alternates two phases: acquisition and conversion. During the
acquisition phase the ADC samples the analog signal in an internal
capacitor; in the conversion phase the ADC performs the actual analog to
digital conversion of the stored voltage. Note that of course the MUX
needs to be set to the proper channel when the acquisition phase is
performed.

Once the conversion phase has been completed, the device automatically
switches back to a new acquisition; on the other hand the device switches
from acquisition to conversion on the rising edge of SPI cs signal (that
is when the xfer finishes).

Only after both two phases have been completed (with the proper settings
already written in the configuration register since the beginning) it is
possible to read the outcome from SPI bus.

With the current driver implementation, we end up in the following
situation:

        _______  1st xfer ____________  2nd xfer ___________________
SPI cs..       \_________/            \_________/
SPI rd.. idle  |(val N-2)+    idle    | val N-1 +   idle ...
SPI wr.. idle  |  cfg N  +    idle    |   (X)   +   idle ...
------------------------ + -------------------- + ------------------
  AD  ..   acq  N-1      + cnv N-1 |  acq N     +  cnv N  | acq N+1

As shown in the diagram above, the value we read in the Nth read belongs
to configuration setting N-1.

In case the configuration is not changed (config[N] == config[N-1]), then
we still get correct data, but in case the configuration changes (i.e.
switching the MUX on another channel), we get wrong data (data from the
previously selected channel).

This patch fixes this by performing one more "dummy" transfer in order to
ending up in reading the data when it's really ready, as per the following
timing diagram.

        _______  1st xfer ____________  2nd xfer ___________  3rd xfer ___
SPI cs..       \_________/            \_________/           \_________/
SPI rd.. idle  |(val N-2)+    idle    |(val N-1)+    idle   |  val N  + ..
SPI wr.. idle  |  cfg N  +    idle    |   (X)   +    idle   |   (X)   + ..
------------------------ + -------------------- + ------------------- + --
  AD  ..   acq  N-1      + cnv N-1 |  acq N     +  cnv N  | acq N+1   | ..

NOTE: in the latter case (cfg changes), the acquisition phase for the
value to be read begins after the 1st xfer, that is after the read request
has been issued on sysfs. On the other hand, if the cfg doesn't change,
then we can refer to the fist diagram assuming N == (N - 1); the
acquisition phase _begins_ before the 1st xfer (potentially a lot of time
before the read has been issued via sysfs, but it _ends_ after the 1st
xfer, that is _after_ the read has started. This should guarantee a
reasonably fresh data, which value represents the voltage that the sampled
signal has after the read start or maybe just around it.

has been issued on sysfs. On the other hand, if the cfg doesn't change,
then we can refer to the fist diagram assuming N == (N - 1); the
acquisition phase _begins_ before the 1st xfer (potentially a lot of time
before the read has been issued via sysfs, but it _ends_ after the 1st
xfer, that is _after_ the read has started. This should guarantee a
reasonably fresh data, which value represents the voltage that the sampled
signal has after the read start or maybe just around it.

[ Upstream commit c270bbf7bb9ddc4e2a51b3c56557c377c9ac79bc ]

The device could be configured to spit out also the configuration word
while reading the AD result value (in the same SPI xfer) - this is called
"readback" in the device datasheet.

The driver checks if readback is enabled and it eventually adjusts the SPI
xfer length and it applies proper shifts to still get the data, discarding
the configuration word.

The readback option is actually never enabled (the driver disables it), so
the said checks do not serve for any purpose.

Since enabling the readback option seems not to provide any advantage (the
driver entirely sets the configuration word without relying on any default
value), just kill the said, unused, code.

[ Upstream commit fc3f6ad7f5dc6c899fbda0255865737bac88c2e0 ]

Since st_lsm6dsx i2c master controller relies on accel device as trigger
and slave devices can run at different ODRs we must select an accel_odr &gt;=
slave_odr. Report real accel ODR in st_lsm6dsx_check_odr() in order to
properly set sensor frequency in st_lsm6dsx_write_raw and avoid to
report unsupported frequency

Move sensor odr table in st_lsm6dsx_sensor_settings in order to support
sensors with different odr maps. This is a preliminary patch to add
support for LSM9DS1 sensor to st_lsm6dsx driver
