[ Upstream commit f6b5f1a56987de837f8e25cd560847106b8632a8 ]

absolute_pointer() disassociates a pointer from its originating symbol
type and context. Use it to prevent compiler warnings/errors such as

  drivers/net/ethernet/i825xx/82596.c: In function 'i82596_probe':
  arch/m68k/include/asm/string.h:72:25: error:
	'__builtin_memcpy' reading 6 bytes from a region of size 0 [-Werror=stringop-overread]

Such warnings may be reported by gcc 11.x for string and memory
operations on fixed addresses.

<title>x86/fault: Fix wrong signal when vsyscall fails with pkey</title>

[ Upstream commit d4ffd5df9d18031b6a53f934388726775b4452d3 ]

The function __bad_area_nosemaphore() calls kernelmode_fixup_or_oops()
with the parameter @signal being actually @pkey, which will send a
signal numbered with the argument in @pkey.

This bug can be triggered when the kernel fails to access user-given
memory pages that are protected by a pkey, so it can go down the
do_user_addr_fault() path and pass the !user_mode() check in
__bad_area_nosemaphore().

Most cases will simply run the kernel fixup code to make an -EFAULT. But
when another condition current-&gt;thread.sig_on_uaccess_err is met, which
is only used to emulate vsyscall, the kernel will generate the wrong
signal.

Add a new parameter @pkey to kernelmode_fixup_or_oops() to fix this.

<title>net: dsa: tear down devlink port regions when tearing down the devlink port on error</title>

[ Upstream commit fd292c189a979838622d5e03e15fa688c81dd50b ]

Commit 86f8b1c01a0a ("net: dsa: Do not make user port errors fatal")
decided it was fine to ignore errors on certain ports that fail to
probe, and go on with the ports that do probe fine.

Commit fb6ec87f7229 ("net: dsa: Fix type was not set for devlink port")
noticed that devlink_port_type_eth_set(dlp, dp-&gt;slave); does not get
called, and devlink notices after a timeout of 3600 seconds and prints a
WARN_ON. So it went ahead to unregister the devlink port. And because
there exists an UNUSED port flavour, we actually re-register the devlink
port as UNUSED.

Commit 08156ba430b4 ("net: dsa: Add devlink port regions support to
DSA") added devlink port regions, which are set up by the driver and not
by DSA.

When we trigger the devlink port deregistration and reregistration as
unused, devlink now prints another WARN_ON, from here:

devlink_port_unregister:
	WARN_ON(!list_empty(&amp;devlink_port-&gt;region_list));

So the port still has regions, which makes sense, because they were set
up by the driver, and the driver doesn't know we're unregistering the
devlink port.

Somebody needs to tear them down, and optionally (actually it would be
nice, to be consistent) set them up again for the new devlink port.

But DSA's layering stays in our way quite badly here.

The options I've considered are:

1. Introduce a function in devlink to just change a port's type and
   flavour. No dice, devlink keeps a lot of state, it really wants the
   port to not be registered when you set its parameters, so changing
   anything can only be done by destroying what we currently have and
   recreating it.

2. Make DSA cache the parameters passed to dsa_devlink_port_region_create,
   and the region returned, keep those in a list, then when the devlink
   port unregister needs to take place, the existing devlink regions are
   destroyed by DSA, and we replay the creation of new regions using the
   cached parameters. Problem: mv88e6xxx keeps the region pointers in
   chip-&gt;ports[port].region, and these will remain stale after DSA frees
   them. There are many things DSA can do, but updating mv88e6xxx's
   private pointers is not one of them.

3. Just let the driver do it (i.e. introduce a very specific method
   called ds-&gt;ops-&gt;port_reinit_as_unused, which unregisters its devlink
   port devlink regions, then the old devlink port, then registers the
   new one, then the devlink port regions for it). While it does work,
   as opposed to the others, it's pretty horrible from an API
   perspective and we can do better.

4. Introduce a new pair of methods, -&gt;port_setup and -&gt;port_teardown,
   which in the case of mv88e6xxx must register and unregister the
   devlink port regions. Call these 2 methods when the port must be
   reinitialized as unused.

Naturally, I went for the 4th approach.

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.

<title>binder: fix freeze race</title>

commit b564171ade70570b7f335fa8ed17adb28409e3ac upstream.

Currently cgroup freezer is used to freeze the application threads, and
BINDER_FREEZE is used to freeze the corresponding binder interface.
There's already a mechanism in ioctl(BINDER_FREEZE) to wait for any
existing transactions to drain out before actually freezing the binder
interface.

But freezing an app requires 2 steps, freezing the binder interface with
ioctl(BINDER_FREEZE) and then freezing the application main threads with
cgroupfs. This is not an atomic operation. The following race issue
might happen.

1) Binder interface is frozen by ioctl(BINDER_FREEZE);
2) Main thread A initiates a new sync binder transaction to process B;
3) Main thread A is frozen by "echo 1 &gt; cgroup.freeze";
4) The response from process B reaches the frozen thread, which will
unexpectedly fail.

This patch provides a mechanism to check if there's any new pending
transaction happening between ioctl(BINDER_FREEZE) and freezing the
main thread. If there's any, the main thread freezing operation can
be rolled back to finish the pending transaction.

Furthermore, the response might reach the binder driver before the
rollback actually happens. That will still cause failed transaction.

As the other process doesn't wait for another response of the response,
the response transaction failure can be fixed by treating the response
transaction like an oneway/async one, allowing it to reach the frozen
thread. And it will be consumed when the thread gets unfrozen later.

NOTE: This patch reuses the existing definition of struct
binder_frozen_status_info but expands the bit assignments of __u32
member sync_recv.

To ensure backward compatibility, bit 0 of sync_recv still indicates
there's an outstanding sync binder transaction. This patch adds new
information to bit 1 of sync_recv, indicating the binder transaction
happens exactly when there's a race.

If an existing userspace app runs on a new kernel, a sync binder call
will set bit 0 of sync_recv so ioctl(BINDER_GET_FROZEN_INFO) still
return the expected value (true). The app just doesn't check bit 1
intentionally so it doesn't have the ability to tell if there's a race.
This behavior is aligned with what happens on an old kernel which
doesn't set bit 1 at all.

A new userspace app can 1) check bit 0 to know if there's a sync binder
transaction happened when being frozen - same as before; and 2) check
bit 1 to know if that sync binder transaction happened exactly when
there's a race - a new information for rollback decision.

the same time, confirmed the pending transactions succeeded.

return the expected value (true). The app just doesn't check bit 1
intentionally so it doesn't have the ability to tell if there's a race.
This behavior is aligned with what happens on an old kernel which
doesn't set bit 1 at all.

A new userspace app can 1) check bit 0 to know if there's a sync binder
transaction happened when being frozen - same as before; and 2) check
bit 1 to know if that sync binder transaction happened exactly when
there's a race - a new information for rollback decision.

the same time, confirmed the pending transactions succeeded.

[ Upstream commit 71731090ab17a208a58020e4b342fdfee280458a ]

On init, the disabled state is cleared right before hw_init and that
causes the device to report on "Operational" state before the device
initialization is finished. Although the char device is not yet exposed
to the user at this stage, the sysfs entries are exposed.

This can cause errors in monitoring applications that use the sysfs
entries.

In order to avoid this, a new state "in device creation" is introduced
to ne reported when the device is not disabled but is still in init
flow.

[ 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':

Change the dummy helper functions to have the same arguments as the

[ Upstream commit c7c5e6ff533fe1f9afef7d2fa46678987a1335a7 ]

syzbot found that forcing a big quantum attribute would crash hosts fast,
essentially using this:

tc qd replace dev eth0 root fq_codel quantum 4294967295

This is because fq_codel_dequeue() would have to loop
~2^31 times in :

	if (flow-&gt;deficit &lt;= 0) {
		flow-&gt;deficit += q-&gt;quantum;
		list_move_tail(&amp;flow-&gt;flowchain, &amp;q-&gt;old_flows);
		goto begin;
	}

SFQ max quantum is 2^19 (half a megabyte)
Lets adopt a max quantum of one megabyte for FQ_CODEL.
