[ Upstream commit 76be93fc0702322179bb0ea87295d820ee46ad14 ]

Previously TLP may send multiple probes of new data in one
flight. This happens when the sender is cwnd limited. After the
initial TLP containing new data is sent, the sender receives another
ACK that acks partial inflight.  It may re-arm another TLP timer
to send more, if no further ACK returns before the next TLP timeout
(PTO) expires. The sender may send in theory a large amount of TLP
until send queue is depleted. This only happens if the sender sees
such irregular uncommon ACK pattern. But it is generally undesirable
behavior during congestion especially.

The original TLP design restrict only one TLP probe per inflight as
published in "Reducing Web Latency: the Virtue of Gentle Aggression",
SIGCOMM 2013. This patch changes TLP to send at most one probe
per inflight.

Note that if the sender is app-limited, TLP retransmits old data
and did not have this issue.

<title>usb: core: Add a helper function to check the validity of EP type in URB</title>

commit e901b9873876ca30a09253731bd3a6b00c44b5b0 upstream.

This patch adds a new helper function to perform a sanity check of the
given URB to see whether it contains a valid endpoint.  It's a light-
weight version of what usb_submit_urb() does, but without the kernel
warning followed by the stack trace, just returns an error code.

Especially for a driver that doesn't parse the descriptor but fills
the URB with the fixed endpoint (e.g. some quirks for non-compliant
devices), this kind of check is preferable at the probe phase before
actually submitting the urb.

<title>sched/rt: Show the 'sched_rr_timeslice' SCHED_RR timeslice tuning knob in milliseconds</title>

[ Upstream commit 975e155ed8732cb81f55c021c441ae662dd040b5 ]

We added the 'sched_rr_timeslice_ms' SCHED_RR tuning knob in this commit:

  ce0dbbbb30ae ("sched/rt: Add a tuning knob to allow changing SCHED_RR timeslice")

... which name suggests to users that it's in milliseconds, while in reality
it's being set in milliseconds but the result is shown in jiffies.

This is obviously confusing when HZ is not 1000, it makes it appear like the
value set failed, such as HZ=100:

  root# echo 100 &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms
  root# cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms
  10

Fix this to be milliseconds all around.

commit 72f2ff0deb870145a5a2d24cd75b4f9936159a62 upstream.

The PCIe Root Port in Hip06/Hip07 SoCs advertises an MSI capability, but it
cannot generate MSIs.  It can transfer MSI/MSI-X from downstream devices,
but does not support MSI/MSI-X itself.

Add a quirk to prevent use of MSI/MSI-X by the Root Port.

Ziqian reported lockup when adding retprobe on _raw_spin_lock_irqsave.
My test was also able to trigger lockdep output:

  ? __switch_to_asm+0x40/0x70

The code within the kretprobe handler checks for probe reentrancy,
so we won't trigger any _raw_spin_lock_irqsave probe in there.

The problem is in outside kprobe_flush_task, where we call:

  kprobe_flush_task
    kretprobe_table_lock
      raw_spin_lock_irqsave
        _raw_spin_lock_irqsave

where _raw_spin_lock_irqsave triggers the kretprobe and installs
kretprobe_trampoline handler on _raw_spin_lock_irqsave return.

The kretprobe_trampoline handler is then executed with already
locked kretprobe_table_locks, and first thing it does is to
lock kretprobe_table_locks ;-) the whole lockup path like:

  kprobe_flush_task
    kretprobe_table_lock
      raw_spin_lock_irqsave
        _raw_spin_lock_irqsave ---&gt; probe triggered, kretprobe_trampoline installed

        ---&gt; kretprobe_table_locks locked

        kretprobe_trampoline
          trampoline_handler
            kretprobe_hash_lock(current, &amp;head, &amp;flags);  &lt;--- deadlock

Adding kprobe_busy_begin/end helpers that mark code with fake
probe installed to prevent triggering of another kprobe within
this code.

Using these helpers in kprobe_flush_task, so the probe recursion
protection check is hit and the probe is never set to prevent
above lockup.

[ Upstream commit 15b81ce5abdc4b502aa31dff2d415b79d2349d2f ]

For optimized block readers not holding a mutex, the "number of sectors"
64-bit value is protected from tearing on 32-bit architectures by a
sequence counter.

Disable preemption before entering that sequence counter's write side
critical section. Otherwise, the read side can preempt the write side
section and spin for the entire scheduler tick. If the reader belongs to
a real-time scheduling class, it can spin forever and the kernel will
livelock.

[ Upstream commit b5292111de9bb70cba3489075970889765302136 ]

Commit 130f4caf145c ("libata: Ensure ata_port probe has completed before
detach") may cause system freeze during suspend.

Using async_synchronize_full() in PM callbacks is wrong, since async
callbacks that are already scheduled may wait for not-yet-scheduled
callbacks, causes a circular dependency.

Instead of using big hammer like async_synchronize_full(), use async
cookie to make sure port probe are synced, without affecting other
scheduled PM callbacks.

<title>elfnote: mark all .note sections SHF_ALLOC</title>

[ Upstream commit 51da9dfb7f20911ae4e79e9b412a9c2d4c373d4b ]

ELFNOTE_START allows callers to specify flags for .pushsection assembler
directives.  All callsites but ELF_NOTE use "a" for SHF_ALLOC.  For vdso's
that explicitly use ELF_NOTE_START and BUILD_SALT, the same section is
specified twice after preprocessing, once with "a" flag, once without.
Example:

.pushsection .note.Linux, "a", @note ;
.pushsection .note.Linux, "", @note ;

While GNU as allows this ordering, it warns for the opposite ordering,
making these directives position dependent.  We'd prefer not to precisely
match this behavior in Clang's integrated assembler.  Instead, the non
__ASSEMBLY__ definition of ELF_NOTE uses
__attribute__((section(".note.Linux"))) which is created with SHF_ALLOC,
so let's make the __ASSEMBLY__ definition of ELF_NOTE consistent with C
and just always use "a" flag.

This allows Clang to assemble a working mainline (5.6) kernel via:
$ make CC=clang AS=clang

<title>include/linux/bitops.h: avoid clang shift-count-overflow warnings</title>

[ Upstream commit bd93f003b7462ae39a43c531abca37fe7073b866 ]

Clang normally does not warn about certain issues in inline functions when
it only happens in an eliminated code path. However if something else
goes wrong, it does tend to complain about the definition of hweight_long()
on 32-bit targets:

  include/linux/bitops.h:75:41: error: shift count &gt;= width of type [-Werror,-Wshift-count-overflow]
          return sizeof(w) == 4 ? hweight32(w) : hweight64(w);
                                                 ^~~~~~~~~~~~
  include/asm-generic/bitops/const_hweight.h:29:49: note: expanded from macro 'hweight64'
   define hweight64(w) (__builtin_constant_p(w) ? __const_hweight64(w) : __arch_hweight64(w))
                                                  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  include/asm-generic/bitops/const_hweight.h:21:76: note: expanded from macro '__const_hweight64'
   define __const_hweight64(w) (__const_hweight32(w) + __const_hweight32((w) &gt;&gt; 32))
                                                                             ^  ~~
  include/asm-generic/bitops/const_hweight.h:20:49: note: expanded from macro '__const_hweight32'
   define __const_hweight32(w) (__const_hweight16(w) + __const_hweight16((w) &gt;&gt; 16))
                                                  ^
  include/asm-generic/bitops/const_hweight.h:19:72: note: expanded from macro '__const_hweight16'
   define __const_hweight16(w) (__const_hweight8(w)  + __const_hweight8((w)  &gt;&gt; 8 ))
                                                                         ^

            (!!((w) &amp; (1ULL &lt;&lt; 2))) +     \

Adding an explicit cast to __u64 avoids that warning and makes it easier
to read other output.

commit 24c5efe41c29ee3e55bcf5a1c9f61ca8709622e8 upstream.

gss_mech_register() calls svcauth_gss_register_pseudoflavor() for each
flavour, but gss_mech_unregister() does not call auth_domain_put().
This is unbalanced and makes it impossible to reload the module.

Change svcauth_gss_register_pseudoflavor() to return the registered
auth_domain, and save it for later release.
