perf intel-pt: Fix MTC timestamp calculation for large MTC periods

2016-10-28T07:45:20+00:00

commit 3bccbe20f6d188ce7b00326e776b745cfd35b10a upstream.

The MTC packet provides a 8-bit slice of CTC which is related to TSC by
the TMA packet, however the TMA packet only provides the lower 16 bits
of CTC.  If mtc_shift > 8 then some of the MTC bits are not in the CTC
provided by the TMA packet. Fix-up the last_mtc calculated from the TMA
packet by copying the missing bits from the current MTC assuming the
least difference between the two, and that the current MTC comes after
last_mtc.

perf intel-pt: Fix estimated timestamps for cycle-accurate mode

2016-10-28T07:45:20+00:00

commit 51ee6481fa8e879cc942bcc1b0af713e158b7a98 upstream.

In cycle-accurate mode, timestamps can be calculated from CYC packets.
The decoder also estimates timestamps based on the number of
instructions since the last timestamp. For that to work in
cycle-accurate mode, the instruction count needs to be reset to zero
when a timestamp is calculated from a CYC packet, but that wasn't
happening, so fix it.

perf intel-pt: Fix snapshot overlap detection decoder errors

2016-10-28T07:45:20+00:00

commit 810c398bc09b2f2dfde52a7d2483a710612c5fb8 upstream.

Fix occasional decoder errors decoding trace data collected in snapshot
mode.

Snapshot mode can take successive snapshots of trace which might overlap.
The decoder checks whether there is an overlap but only looks at the
current and previous buffer. However buffers that do not contain
synchronization (i.e. PSB) packets cannot be decoded or used for overlap
checking. That means the decoder actually needs to check overlaps between
the current buffer and the previous buffer that contained usable data.
Make that change.

spi: spidev_test: Fix buffer overflow in unescape()

2016-10-28T07:45:18+00:00

commit 0278b34bf15f8d8a609595b15909cd8622dd64ca upstream.

Sometimes spidev_test crashes with:

    *** Error in `spidev_test': munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer: 0x00022020 ***
    Aborted

or just

    Segmentation fault

This is due to transfer_escaped_string() miscalculating the required
size of the buffer by one byte, causing a buffer overflow in unescape().

Drop the bogus "+ 1" in the strlen() parameter to fix this.

Note that unescape() never copies the zero-terminator of the source
string, so it writes at most as many bytes as the length of the source
string.

Merge branch 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:

 - Four fixes for "flush hint" support.

   Flush hints are addresses advertised by the ACPI 6+ NFIT (NVDIMM
   Firmware Interface Table) that when written and fenced guarantee that
   writes pending in platform write buffers (outside the cpu) have been
   flushed to media.  They might also be used by hypervisors as a
   trigger condition to flush guest-persistent memory ranges to storage.

    Fix a potential data corruption issue, a broken definition of the
    hint array, a wrong allocation size for the unit test implementation
    of the flush hint table, and missing NULL check in an error path.

    The unit test, while it did not prevent these bugs from being
    merged, at least triggered occasional crashes in advance of
    production usages.

 - Fix handling of ACPI DSM error status results.  The DSM mechanism
   allows communication with platform and memory device firmware.  We
   correctly parse known errors, but were silently ignoring others.

   Fix it to consistently fail any command with a non-zero status return
   that we otherwise do not interpret / handle.

radix tree test suite: Test radix_tree_replace_slot() for multiorder entries

2016-09-25T18:49:16+00:00

When we replace a multiorder entry, check that all indices reflect the
new value.

Also, compile the test suite with -O2, which shows other problems with
the code due to some dodgy pointer operations in the radix tree code.

tools/testing/nvdimm: fix allocation range for mock flush hint tables

2016-09-19T20:49:48+00:00

Commit 480b6837aa57 "nvdimm: fix PHYS_PFN/PFN_PHYS mixup" identified
that we were passing an invalid address to devm_nvdimm_ioremap(). With
that fixed it exposed a bug in the memory reservation size for flush
hint tables.  Since we map a full page we need to mock a full page of
memory to back the flush hint table entries.

Second set of IIO fixes for the 4.8 cycle.

We have a big rework of the kxsd9 driver queued up behind the fix below and
a fix for a recent fix that was marked for stable.
Hence this fix series is perhaps a little more urgent than average for IIO.
* core
  - a fix for a fix in the last set.  The recent fix for blocking ops when
   ! task running left a path (unlikely one) in which the function return
   value was not set - so initialise it to 0.
  - The IIO_TYPE_FRACTIONAL code previously didn't cope with negative
  fractions.  Turned out a fix for this was in Analog's tree but hadn't made
  it upstream.
* bmc150
  - reset chip at init time. At least one board out there ends up coming up
  in an unstable state due to noise during power up.  The reset does no
  harm on other boards.
* kxsd9
  - Fix a bug in the reported scaling due to failing to set the integer
  part to 0.
* hid-sensors-pressure
  - Output was in the wrong units to comply with the IIO ABI.
* tools
  - iio_generic_buffer: Fix the trigger-less mode by ensuring we don't fault
    out for having no trigger when we explicitly said we didn't want to have
    one.

tools/lguest: Don't bork the terminal in case of wrong args

2016-09-08T06:05:24+00:00

Running lguest without arguments or with a wrong argument name
borks the terminal, because the cleanup handler is set up too late
in the initialization process.
