commit f3751ad0116fb6881f2c3c957d66a9327f69cefb upstream.

__tracepoint_string's have their string data stored in .rodata, and an
address to that data stored in the "__tracepoint_str" section. Functions
that refer to those strings refer to the symbol of the address. Compiler
optimization can replace those address references with references
directly to the string data. If the address doesn't appear to have other
uses, then it appears dead to the compiler and is removed. This can
break the /tracing/printk_formats sysfs node which iterates the
addresses stored in the "__tracepoint_str" section.

Like other strings stored in custom sections in this header, mark these
__used to inform the compiler that there are other non-obvious users of
the address, so they should still be emitted.

<title>random32: move the pseudo-random 32-bit definitions to prandom.h</title>

commit c0842fbc1b18c7a044e6ff3e8fa78bfa822c7d1a upstream.

The addition of percpu.h to the list of includes in random.h revealed
some circular dependencies on arm64 and possibly other platforms.  This
include was added solely for the pseudo-random definitions, which have
nothing to do with the rest of the definitions in this file but are
still there for legacy reasons.

This patch moves the pseudo-random parts to linux/prandom.h and the
percpu.h include with it, which is now guarded by _LINUX_PRANDOM_H and
protected against recursive inclusion.

A further cleanup step would be to remove this from &lt;linux/random.h&gt;
entirely, and make people who use the prandom infrastructure include
just the new header file.  That's a bit of a churn patch, but grepping
for "prandom_" and "next_pseudo_random32" "struct rnd_state" should
catch most users.

But it turns out that that nice cleanup step is fairly painful, because
a _lot_ of code currently seems to depend on the implicit include of
&lt;linux/random.h&gt;, which can currently come in a lot of ways, including
such fairly core headfers as &lt;linux/net.h&gt;.

So the "nice cleanup" part may or may never happen.

<title>random32: remove net_rand_state from the latent entropy gcc plugin</title>

commit 83bdc7275e6206f560d247be856bceba3e1ed8f2 upstream.

It turns out that the plugin right now ends up being really unhappy
about the change from 'static' to 'extern' storage that happened in
commit f227e3ec3b5c ("random32: update the net random state on interrupt
and activity").

This is probably a trivial fix for the latent_entropy plugin, but for
now, just remove net_rand_state from the list of things the plugin
worries about.

commit 1c9df907da83812e4f33b59d3d142c864d9da57f upstream.

Daniel Díaz and Kees Cook independently reported that commit
f227e3ec3b5c ("random32: update the net random state on interrupt and
activity") broke arm64 due to a circular dependency on include files
since the addition of percpu.h in random.h.

The correct fix would definitely be to move all the prandom32 stuff out
of random.h but for backporting, a smaller solution is preferred.

This one replaces linux/percpu.h with asm/percpu.h, and this fixes the
problem on x86_64, arm64, arm, and mips.  Note that moving percpu.h
around didn't change anything and that removing it entirely broke
differently.  When backporting, such options might still be considered
if this patch fails to help.

[ It turns out that an alternate fix seems to be to just remove the
  troublesome &lt;asm/pointer_auth.h&gt; remove from the arm64 &lt;asm/smp.h&gt;
  that causes the circular dependency.

  But we might as well do the whole belt-and-suspenders thing, and
  minimize inclusion in &lt;linux/random.h&gt; too. Either will fix the
  problem, and both are good changes.   - Linus ]

commit f227e3ec3b5cad859ad15666874405e8c1bbc1d4 upstream.

This modifies the first 32 bits out of the 128 bits of a random CPU's
net_rand_state on interrupt or CPU activity to complicate remote
observations that could lead to guessing the network RNG's internal
state.

Note that depending on some network devices' interrupt rate moderation
or binding, this re-seeding might happen on every packet or even almost
never.

In addition, with NOHZ some CPUs might not even get timer interrupts,
leaving their local state rarely updated, while they are running
networked processes making use of the random state.  For this reason, we
also perform this update in update_process_times() in order to at least
update the state when there is user or system activity, since it's the
only case we care about.

<title>tcp: allow at most one TLP probe per flight</title>

[ 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.

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.

<title>PCI: Disable MSI for HiSilicon Hip06/Hip07 Root Ports</title>

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.
