<content type='text'>
Since commit 4466bf82821b ("efi/apple-properties: use
PROPERTY_ENTRY_U8_ARRAY_LEN"), my MacBook Pro issues a -ENODATA error
when trying to assign EFI properties to the discrete GPU:

pci 0000:01:00.0: assigning 56 device properties
pci 0000:01:00.0: error -61 assigning properties

That's because some of the properties have no value.  They're booleans
whose presence can be checked by drivers, e.g. "use-backlight-blanking".

Commit 6e98503dba64 ("efi/apple-properties: Remove redundant attribute
initialization from unmarshal_key_value_pairs()") employed a trick to
store such booleans as u8 arrays (which is the data type used for all
other EFI properties on Macs):  It cleared the property_entry's
"is_array" flag, thereby denoting that the value is stored inline in the
property_entry.

Commit 4466bf82821b erroneously removed that trick.  It was probably a
little fragile to begin with.

Reinstate support for boolean properties by explicitly invoking the
PROPERTY_ENTRY_BOOL() initializer for properties with zero-length value.

<title>mm/gup: prevent gup_fast from racing with COW during fork</title>

<name>Jason Gunthorpe</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=57efa1fe5957694fa541c9062de0a127f0b9acb0'/>
<id>57efa1fe5957694fa541c9062de0a127f0b9acb0</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit 70e806e4e645 ("mm: Do early cow for pinned pages during
fork() for ptes") pages under a FOLL_PIN will not be write protected
during COW for fork.  This means that pages returned from
pin_user_pages(FOLL_WRITE) should not become write protected while the pin
is active.

However, there is a small race where get_user_pages_fast(FOLL_PIN) can
establish a FOLL_PIN at the same time copy_present_page() is write
protecting it:

        CPU 0                             CPU 1
   get_user_pages_fast()
    internal_get_user_pages_fast()
                                       copy_page_range()
                                         pte_alloc_map_lock()
                                           copy_present_page()
                                             atomic_read(has_pinned) == 0
					     page_maybe_dma_pinned() == false
     atomic_set(has_pinned, 1);
     gup_pgd_range()
      gup_pte_range()
       pte_t pte = gup_get_pte(ptep)
       pte_access_permitted(pte)
       try_grab_compound_head()
                                             pte = pte_wrprotect(pte)
	                                     set_pte_at();
                                         pte_unmap_unlock()
      // GUP now returns with a write protected page

The first attempt to resolve this by using the write protect caused
problems (and was missing a barrrier), see commit f3c64eda3e50 ("mm: avoid
early COW write protect games during fork()")

Instead wrap copy_p4d_range() with the write side of a seqcount and check
the read side around gup_pgd_range().  If there is a collision then
get_user_pages_fast() fails and falls back to slow GUP.

Slow GUP is safe against this race because copy_page_range() is only
called while holding the exclusive side of the mmap_lock on the src
mm_struct.

problems (and was missing a barrrier), see commit f3c64eda3e50 ("mm: avoid
early COW write protect games during fork()")

Instead wrap copy_p4d_range() with the write side of a seqcount and check
the read side around gup_pgd_range().  If there is a collision then
get_user_pages_fast() fails and falls back to slow GUP.

Slow GUP is safe against this race because copy_page_range() is only
called while holding the exclusive side of the mmap_lock on the src
mm_struct.

<title>efi: ia64: disable the capsule loader</title>

<content type='text'>
EFI capsule loading is a feature that was introduced into EFI long after
its initial introduction on Itanium, and it is highly unlikely that IA64
systems are receiving firmware updates in the first place, let alone
using EFI capsules.

So let's disable capsule support altogether on IA64. This fixes a build
error on IA64 due to a recent change that added an unconditional
include of asm/efi.h, which IA64 does not provide.

While at it, tweak the make rules a bit so that the EFI capsule
component that is always builtin (even if the EFI capsule loader itself
is built as a module) is omitted for all architectures if the module is
not enabled in the build.

The semantics of add_links() has changed from creating device link
between devices to creating fwnode links between fwnodes. So, update the
implementation of add_links() to match the new semantics.
