[ Upstream commit f792565326825ed806626da50c6f9a928f1079c1 ]

Users of rdpmc rely on the mmapped user page to calculate accurate
time_enabled. Currently, userpage-&gt;time_enabled is only updated when the
event is added to the pmu. As a result, inactive event (due to counter
multiplexing) does not have accurate userpage-&gt;time_enabled. This can
be reproduced with something like:

   /* open 20 task perf_event "cycles", to create multiplexing */

   fd = perf_event_open();  /* open task perf_event "cycles" */
   userpage = mmap(fd);     /* use mmap and rdmpc */

   while (true) {
     time_enabled_mmap = xxx; /* use logic in perf_event_mmap_page */
     time_enabled_read = read(fd).time_enabled;
     if (time_enabled_mmap &gt; time_enabled_read)
         BUG();
   }

Fix this by updating userpage for inactive events in merge_sched_in.

<title>libata: Add ATA_HORKAGE_NO_NCQ_ON_ATI for Samsung 860 and 870 SSD.</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 7a8526a5cd51cf5f070310c6c37dd7293334ac49 upstream.

Many users are reporting that the Samsung 860 and 870 SSD are having
various issues when combined with AMD/ATI (vendor ID 0x1002)  SATA
controllers and only completely disabling NCQ helps to avoid these
issues.

Always disabling NCQ for Samsung 860/870 SSDs regardless of the host
SATA adapter vendor will cause I/O performance degradation with well
behaved adapters. To limit the performance impact to ATI adapters,
introduce the ATA_HORKAGE_NO_NCQ_ON_ATI flag to force disable NCQ
only for these adapters.

Also, two libata.force parameters (noncqati and ncqati) are introduced
to disable and enable the NCQ for the system which equipped with ATI
SATA adapter and Samsung 860 and 870 SSDs. The user can determine NCQ
function to be enabled or disabled according to the demand.

After verifying the chipset from the user reports, the issue appears
on AMD/ATI SB7x0/SB8x0/SB9x0 SATA Controllers and does not appear on
recent AMD SATA adapters. The vendor ID of ATI should be 0x1002.
Therefore, ATA_HORKAGE_NO_NCQ_ON_AMD was modified to
ATA_HORKAGE_NO_NCQ_ON_ATI.

[ Upstream commit cf9579976f724ad517cc15b7caadea728c7e245c ]

MDIO-attached devices might have interrupts and other things that might
need quiesced when we kexec into a new kernel. Things are even more
creepy when those interrupt lines are shared, and in that case it is
absolutely mandatory to disable all interrupt sources.

Moreover, MDIO devices might be DSA switches, and DSA needs its own
shutdown method to unlink from the DSA master, which is a new
requirement that appeared after commit 2f1e8ea726e9 ("net: dsa: link
interfaces with the DSA master to get rid of lockdep warnings").

So introduce a -&gt;shutdown method in the MDIO device driver structure.

[ Upstream commit 356ed64991c6847a0c4f2e8fa3b1133f7a14f1fc ]

Currently if a function ptr in struct_ops has a return value, its
caller will get a random return value from it, because the return
value of related BPF_PROG_TYPE_STRUCT_OPS prog is just dropped.

So adding a new flag BPF_TRAMP_F_RET_FENTRY_RET to tell bpf trampoline
to save and return the return value of struct_ops prog if ret_size of
the function ptr is greater than 0. Also restricting the flag to be
used alone.

list_sort() internally casts the comparison function passed to it
to a different type with constant struct list_head pointers, and
uses this pointer to call the functions, which trips indirect call
Control-Flow Integrity (CFI) checking.

Instead of removing the consts, this change defines the
list_cmp_func_t type and changes the comparison function types of
all list_sort() callers to use const pointers, thus avoiding type
mismatches.

commit 58877b0824da15698bd85a0a9dbfa8c354e6ecb7 upstream.

It has been observed with certain PCIe USB cards (like Inateck connected
to AM64 EVM or J7200 EVM) that as soon as the primary roothub is
registered, port status change is handled even before xHC is running
leading to cold plug USB devices not detected. For such cases, registering
both the root hubs along with the second HCD is required. Add support for
deferring roothub registration in usb_add_hcd(), so that both primary and
secondary roothubs are registered along with the second HCD.

commit 58877b0824da15698bd85a0a9dbfa8c354e6ecb7 upstream.

It has been observed with certain PCIe USB cards (like Inateck connected
to AM64 EVM or J7200 EVM) that as soon as the primary roothub is
registered, port status change is handled even before xHC is running
leading to cold plug USB devices not detected. For such cases, registering
both the root hubs along with the second HCD is required. Add support for
deferring roothub registration in usb_add_hcd(), so that both primary and
secondary roothubs are registered along with the second HCD.

[ Upstream commit 4b92d4add5f6dcf21275185c997d6ecb800054cd ]

DEFINE_SMP_CALL_CACHE_FUNCTION() was usefel before the CPU hotplug rework
to ensure that the cache related functions are called on the upcoming CPU
because the notifier itself could run on any online CPU.

The hotplug state machine guarantees that the callbacks are invoked on the
upcoming CPU. So there is no need to have this SMP function call
obfuscation. That indirection was missed when the hotplug notifiers were
converted.

This also solves the problem of ARM64 init_cache_level() invoking ACPI
functions which take a semaphore in that context. That's invalid as SMP
function calls run with interrupts disabled. Running it just from the
callback in context of the CPU hotplug thread solves this.

[ Upstream commit fb83610762dd5927212aa62a468dd3b756b57a88 ]

There are two pairs of declarations for thermal_cooling_device_register()
and thermal_of_cooling_device_register(), and only one set was changed
in a recent patch, so the other one now causes a compile-time warning:

drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt7915/init.c: In function 'mt7915_thermal_init':
drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt7915/init.c:134:48: error: passing argument 1 of 'thermal_cooling_device_register' discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Werror=discarded-qualifiers]
  134 |         cdev = thermal_cooling_device_register(wiphy_name(wiphy), phy,

      |                                 ~~~~~~^~~~

Change the dummy helper functions to have the same arguments as the
normal version.
