commit 71458cfc782eafe4b27656e078d379a34e472adf upstream.

We're missing include/linux/compiler-gcc5.h which is required now
because gcc branched off to v5 in trunk.

Just copy the relevant bits out of include/linux/compiler-gcc4.h,
no new code is added as of now.

This fixes a build error when using gcc 5.

<title>mm: clear __GFP_FS when PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO is set</title>

commit 934f3072c17cc8886f4c043b47eeeb1b12f8de33 upstream.

commit 21caf2fc1931 ("mm: teach mm by current context info to not do I/O
during memory allocation") introduces PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO flag to avoid doing
I/O inside memory allocation, __GFP_IO is cleared when this flag is set,
but __GFP_FS implies __GFP_IO, it should also be cleared.  Or it may still
run into I/O, like in superblock shrinker.  And this will make the kernel
run into the deadlock case described in that commit.

See Dave Chinner's comment about io in superblock shrinker:

Filesystem shrinkers do indeed perform IO from the superblock shrinker and
have for years.  Even clean inodes can require IO before they can be freed
- e.g.  on an orphan list, need truncation of post-eof blocks, need to
wait for ordered operations to complete before it can be freed, etc.

IOWs, Ext4, btrfs and XFS all can issue and/or block on arbitrary amounts
of IO in the superblock shrinker context.  XFS, in particular, has been
doing transactions and IO from the VFS inode cache shrinker since it was
first introduced....

Fix this by clearing __GFP_FS in memalloc_noio_flags(), this function has
masked all the gfp_mask that will be passed into fs for the processes
setting PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO in the direct reclaim path.

commit ddbe1fca0bcb87ca8c199ea873a456ca8a948567 upstream.

This full-speed USB device generates spurious remote wakeup event
as soon as USB_DEVICE_REMOTE_WAKEUP feature is set. As the result,
Linux can't enter system suspend and S0ix power saving modes once
this keyboard is used.

This patch tries to introduce USB_QUIRK_IGNORE_REMOTE_WAKEUP quirk.
With this quirk set, wakeup capability will be ignored during
device configure.

This patch could be back-ported to kernels as old as 2.6.39.

commit 734016b00b50a3c6a0e1fc1b7b217e783f5123a1 upstream.

Besides the ASM1051 (*) needing sdev-&gt;no_report_opcodes = 1, it turns out that
the JMicron JMS567 also needs it to work properly with uas (usb-storage always
sets it). Since some of the scsi devs were not to keen on the idea to
outrightly set sdev-&gt;no_report_opcodes = 1 for all uas devices, so add a quirk
for this, and set it for the JMS567.

*) Which has become a non-issue since we've completely blacklisted uas on
the ASM1051 for other reasons

And set this quirk for the Seagate Expansion Desk (0bc2:2312), as that one

<title>net: Always untag vlan-tagged traffic on input.</title>

<id>84beb1a9999475ea1d25629345119da137474853</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 0d5501c1c828fb97d02af50aa9d2b1a5498b94e4 ]

Currently the functionality to untag traffic on input resides
as part of the vlan module and is build only when VLAN support
is enabled in the kernel.  When VLAN is disabled, the function
vlan_untag() turns into a stub and doesn't really untag the
packets.  This seems to create an interesting interaction
between VMs supporting checksum offloading and some network drivers.

There are some drivers that do not allow the user to change
tx-vlan-offload feature of the driver.  These drivers also seem
to assume that any VLAN-tagged traffic they transmit will
have the vlan information in the vlan_tci and not in the vlan
header already in the skb.  When transmitting skbs that already
have tagged data with partial checksum set, the checksum doesn't
appear to be updated correctly by the card thus resulting in a
failure to establish TCP connections.

The following is a packet trace taken on the receiver where a
sender is a VM with a VLAN configued.  The host VM is running on
doest not have VLAN support and the outging interface on the
host is tg3:
10:12:43.503055 52:54:00:ae:42:3f &gt; 28:d2:44:7d:c2:de, ethertype 802.1Q
(0x8100), length 78: vlan 100, p 0, ethertype IPv4, (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 27243,

    10.0.100.1.58545 &gt; 10.0.100.10.ircu-2: Flags [S], cksum 0xdc39 (incorrect
-&gt; 0x48d9), seq 1069378582, win 29200, options [mss 1460,sackOK,TS val
4294837885 ecr 0,nop,wscale 7], length 0

4294838888 ecr 0,nop,wscale 7], length 0

This connection finally times out.

I've only access to the TG3 hardware in this configuration thus have
only tested this with TG3 driver.  There are a lot of other drivers
that do not permit user changes to vlan acceleration features, and
I don't know if they all suffere from a similar issue.

The patch attempt to fix this another way.  It moves the vlan header
stipping code out of the vlan module and always builds it into the
kernel network core.  This way, even if vlan is not supported on
a virtualizatoin host, the virtual machines running on top of such
host will still work with VLANs enabled.

commit d78c9300c51d6ceed9f6d078d4e9366f259de28c upstream.

timeval_to_jiffies tried to round a timeval up to an integral number
of jiffies, but the logic for doing so was incorrect: intervals
corresponding to exactly N jiffies would become N+1. This manifested
itself particularly repeatedly stopping/starting an itimer:

setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &amp;val, NULL);
setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, NULL, &amp;val);

would add a full tick to val, _even if it was exactly representable in
terms of jiffies_ (say, the result of a previous rounding.)  Doing
this repeatedly would cause unbounded growth in val.  So fix the math.

Here's what was wrong with the conversion: we essentially computed
(eliding seconds)

jiffies = usec  * (NSEC_PER_USEC/TICK_NSEC)

by using scaling arithmetic, which took the best approximation of
NSEC_PER_USEC/TICK_NSEC with denominator of 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC =
x/(2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC), and computed:

jiffies = (usec * x) &gt;&gt; USEC_JIFFIE_SC

and rounded this calculation up in the intermediate form (since we
can't necessarily exactly represent TICK_NSEC in usec.) But the
scaling arithmetic is a (very slight) *over*approximation of the true
value; that is, instead of dividing by (1 usec/ 1 jiffie), we
effectively divided by (1 usec/1 jiffie)-epsilon (rounding
down). This would normally be fine, but we want to round timeouts up,
and we did so by adding 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC - 1 before the shift; this
would be fine if our division was exact, but dividing this by the
slightly smaller factor was equivalent to adding just _over_ 1 to the
final result (instead of just _under_ 1, as desired.)

In particular, with HZ=1000, we consistently computed that 10000 usec
was 11 jiffies; the same was true for any exact multiple of
TICK_NSEC.

We could possibly still round in the intermediate form, adding
something less than 2^USEC_JIFFIE_SC - 1, but easier still is to
convert usec-&gt;nsec, round in nanoseconds, and then convert using
time*spec*_to_jiffies.  This adds one constant multiplication, and is
not observably slower in microbenchmarks on recent x86 hardware.

Tested: the following program:

int main() {
  struct itimerval zero = {{0, 0}, {0, 0}};
  /* Initially set to 10 ms. */
  struct itimerval initial = zero;
  initial.it_interval.tv_usec = 10000;
  setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &amp;initial, NULL);
  /* Save and restore several times. */
  for (size_t i = 0; i &lt; 10; ++i) {
    struct itimerval prev;
    setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &amp;zero, &amp;prev);
    /* on old kernels, this goes up by TICK_USEC every iteration */
    printf("previous value: %ld %ld %ld %ld\n",
           prev.it_interval.tv_sec, prev.it_interval.tv_usec,
           prev.it_value.tv_sec, prev.it_value.tv_usec);
    setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &amp;prev, NULL);
  }
    return 0;
}

<title>crypto: ccp - Check for CCP before registering crypto algs</title>

commit c9f21cb6388898bfe69886d001316dae7ecc9a4b upstream.

If the ccp is built as a built-in module, then ccp-crypto (whether
built as a module or a built-in module) will be able to load and
it will register its crypto algorithms.  If the system does not have
a CCP this will result in -ENODEV being returned whenever a command
is attempted to be queued by the registered crypto algorithms.

Add an API, ccp_present(), that checks for the presence of a CCP
on the system.  The ccp-crypto module can use this to determine if it
should register it's crypto alogorithms.
