[ Upstream commit 93022482b2948a9a7e9b5a2bb685f2e1cb4c3348 ]

Code in v6.9 arch/x86/kernel/smpboot.c was changed by commit

  4db64279bc2b ("x86/cpu: Switch to new Intel CPU model defines") from:

  static const struct x86_cpu_id intel_cod_cpu[] = {
          X86_MATCH_INTEL_FAM6_MODEL(HASWELL_X, 0),       /* COD */
          X86_MATCH_INTEL_FAM6_MODEL(BROADWELL_X, 0),     /* COD */
          X86_MATCH_INTEL_FAM6_MODEL(ANY, 1),             /* SNC */	&lt;--- 443
          {}
  };

  static bool match_llc(struct cpuinfo_x86 *c, struct cpuinfo_x86 *o)
  {
          const struct x86_cpu_id *id = x86_match_cpu(intel_cod_cpu);

to:

  static const struct x86_cpu_id intel_cod_cpu[] = {
           X86_MATCH_VFM(INTEL_HASWELL_X,   0),    /* COD */
           X86_MATCH_VFM(INTEL_BROADWELL_X, 0),    /* COD */
           X86_MATCH_VFM(INTEL_ANY,         1),    /* SNC */
           {}
   };

  static bool match_llc(struct cpuinfo_x86 *c, struct cpuinfo_x86 *o)
  {
          const struct x86_cpu_id *id = x86_match_cpu(intel_cod_cpu);

On an Intel CPU with SNC enabled this code previously matched the rule on line
443 to avoid printing messages about insane cache configuration.  The new code
did not match any rules.

Expanding the macros for the intel_cod_cpu[] array shows that the old is
equivalent to:

  static const struct x86_cpu_id intel_cod_cpu[] = {
  [0] = { .vendor = 0, .family = 6, .model = 0x3F, .steppings = 0, .feature = 0, .driver_data = 0 },
  [1] = { .vendor = 0, .family = 6, .model = 0x4F, .steppings = 0, .feature = 0, .driver_data = 0 },
  [2] = { .vendor = 0, .family = 6, .model = 0x00, .steppings = 0, .feature = 0, .driver_data = 1 },
  [3] = { .vendor = 0, .family = 0, .model = 0x00, .steppings = 0, .feature = 0, .driver_data = 0 }
  }

while the new code expands to:

  static const struct x86_cpu_id intel_cod_cpu[] = {
  [0] = { .vendor = 0, .family = 6, .model = 0x3F, .steppings = 0, .feature = 0, .driver_data = 0 },
  [1] = { .vendor = 0, .family = 6, .model = 0x4F, .steppings = 0, .feature = 0, .driver_data = 0 },
  [2] = { .vendor = 0, .family = 0, .model = 0x00, .steppings = 0, .feature = 0, .driver_data = 1 },
  [3] = { .vendor = 0, .family = 0, .model = 0x00, .steppings = 0, .feature = 0, .driver_data = 0 }
  }

Looking at the code for x86_match_cpu():

  const struct x86_cpu_id *x86_match_cpu(const struct x86_cpu_id *match)
  {
           const struct x86_cpu_id *m;
           struct cpuinfo_x86 *c = &amp;boot_cpu_data;

           for (m = match;
                m-&gt;vendor | m-&gt;family | m-&gt;model | m-&gt;steppings | m-&gt;feature;
                m++) {
       		...
           }
           return NULL;

it is clear that there was no match because the ANY entry in the table (array
index 2) is now the loop termination condition (all of vendor, family, model,
steppings, and feature are zero).

So this code was working before because the "ANY" check was looking for any
Intel CPU in family 6. But fails now because the family is a wild card. So the
root cause is that x86_match_cpu() has never been able to match on a rule with
just X86_VENDOR_INTEL and all other fields set to wildcards.

Add a new flags field to struct x86_cpu_id that has a bit set to indicate that
this entry in the array is valid. Update X86_MATCH*() macros to set that bit.
Change the end-marker check in x86_match_cpu() to just check the flags field
for this bit.

Backporter notes: The commit in Fixes is really the one that is broken:
you can't have m-&gt;vendor as part of the loop termination conditional in
x86_match_cpu() because it can happen - as it has happened above
- that that whole conditional is 0 albeit vendor == 0 is a valid case
- X86_VENDOR_INTEL is 0.

However, the only case where the above happens is the SNC check added by
4db64279bc2b1 so you only need this fix if you have backported that
other commit

<title>PCI / VFIO: Add 'override_only' support for VFIO PCI sub system</title>
<updated>2021-08-26T16:36:51+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=cc6711b0bf36de068b10490198d05ac168377989'/>
<id>cc6711b0bf36de068b10490198d05ac168377989</id>
<content type='text'>
Expose an 'override_only' helper macro (i.e.
PCI_DRIVER_OVERRIDE_DEVICE_VFIO) for VFIO PCI sub system and add the
required code to prefix its matching entries with "vfio_" in
modules.alias file.

It allows VFIO device drivers to include match entries in the
modules.alias file produced by kbuild that are not used for normal
driver autoprobing and module autoloading. Drivers using these match
entries can be connected to the PCI device manually, by userspace, using
the existing driver_override sysfs.

For example the resulting modules.alias may have:

  alias pci:v000015B3d00001021sv*sd*bc*sc*i* mlx5_core
  alias vfio_pci:v000015B3d00001021sv*sd*bc*sc*i* mlx5_vfio_pci
  alias vfio_pci:v*d*sv*sd*bc*sc*i* vfio_pci

In this example mlx5_core and mlx5_vfio_pci match to the same PCI
device. The kernel will autoload and autobind to mlx5_core but the
kernel and udev mechanisms will ignore mlx5_vfio_pci.

When userspace wants to change a device to the VFIO subsystem it can
implement a generic algorithm:

   1) Identify the sysfs path to the device:
    /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0

   2) Get the modalias string from the kernel:
    $ cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0/modalias
    pci:v000015B3d00001021sv000015B3sd00000001bc02sc00i00

   3) Prefix it with vfio_:
    vfio_pci:v000015B3d00001021sv000015B3sd00000001bc02sc00i00

   4) Search modules.alias for the above string and select the entry that
      has the fewest *'s:
    alias vfio_pci:v000015B3d00001021sv*sd*bc*sc*i* mlx5_vfio_pci

   5) modprobe the matched module name:
    $ modprobe mlx5_vfio_pci

   6) cat the matched module name to driver_override:
    echo mlx5_vfio_pci &gt; /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0/driver_override

   7) unbind device from original module
     echo 0000:01:00.0 &gt; /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0/driver/unbind

   8) probe PCI drivers (or explicitly bind to mlx5_vfio_pci)
    echo 0000:01:00.0 &gt; /sys/bus/pci/drivers_probe

The algorithm is independent of bus type. In future the other buses with
VFIO device drivers, like platform and ACPI, can use this algorithm as
well.

This patch is the infrastructure to provide the information in the
modules.alias to userspace. Convert the only VFIO pci_driver which results
in one new line in the modules.alias:

  alias vfio_pci:v*d*sv*sd*bc*sc*i* vfio_pci

Later series introduce additional HW specific VFIO PCI drivers, such as
mlx5_vfio_pci.

Add 'override_only' field to struct pci_device_id to be used as part of
pci_match_device().

When set, a driver only matches the entry when dev-&gt;driver_override is
set to that driver.

In addition, add a helper macro named 'PCI_DEVICE_DRIVER_OVERRIDE' to
enable setting some data on it.

Next patch from this series will use the above functionality.

Most device_id structs provide a driver_data field that can be used
by drivers to associate data more easily for a particular device ID.
Add the same for the rpmsg_device_id.

Most device_id structs provide a driver_data field that can be used
by drivers to associate data more easily for a particular device ID.
Add the same for the rpmsg_device_id.

Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the large set of char/misc/whatever driver subsystem updates
  for 5.12-rc1. Over time it seems like this tree is collecting more and
  more tiny driver subsystems in one place, making it easier for those
  maintainers, which is why this is getting larger.

  Included in here are:

   - coresight driver updates

   - habannalabs driver updates

   - virtual acrn driver addition (proper acks from the x86 maintainers)

   - broadcom misc driver addition

   - speakup driver updates

   - soundwire driver updates

   - fpga driver updates

   - amba driver updates

   - mei driver updates

   - vfio driver updates

   - greybus driver updates

   - nvmeem driver updates

   - phy driver updates

   - mhi driver updates

   - interconnect driver udpates

   - fsl-mc bus driver updates

   - random driver fix

   - some small misc driver updates (rtsx, pvpanic, etc.)

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while, with the only
  reported issue being a merge conflict due to the dfl_device_id
  addition from the fpga subsystem in here"

In order to support MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() for dfl device driver, this
patch moves struct dfl_device_id to mod_devicetable.h

Some brief description for DFL (Device Feature List) is added to make
the DFL known to the whole kernel.

<title>platform/surface: aggregator: Add dedicated bus and device type</title>

<id>eb0e90a82098d4a48308abb87d2087578a83987f</id>
<content type='text'>
The Surface Aggregator EC provides varying functionality, depending on
the Surface device. To manage this functionality, we use dedicated
client devices for each subsystem or virtual device of the EC. While
some of these clients are described as standard devices in ACPI and the
corresponding client drivers can be implemented as platform drivers in
the kernel (making use of the controller API already present), many
devices, especially on newer Surface models, cannot be found there.

To simplify management of these devices, we introduce a new bus and
client device type for the Surface Aggregator subsystem. The new device
type takes care of managing the controller reference, essentially
guaranteeing its validity for as long as the client device exists, thus
alleviating the need to manually establish device links for that purpose
in the client driver (as has to be done with the platform devices).

Add support for the Auxiliary Bus, auxiliary_device and auxiliary_driver.
It enables drivers to create an auxiliary_device and bind an
auxiliary_driver to it.

The bus supports probe/remove shutdown and suspend/resume callbacks.
Each auxiliary_device has a unique string based id; driver binds to
an auxiliary_device based on this id through the bus.
