x86/platform/goldfish: Prevent unconditional loading

2017-02-26T10:10:52+00:00

commit 47512cfd0d7a8bd6ab71d01cd89fca19eb2093eb upstream.

The goldfish platform code registers the platform device unconditionally
which causes havoc in several ways if the goldfish_pdev_bus driver is
enabled:

 - Access to the hardcoded physical memory region, which is either not
   available or contains stuff which is completely unrelated.

 - Prevents that the interrupt of the serial port can be requested

 - In case of a spurious interrupt it goes into a infinite loop in the
   interrupt handler of the pdev_bus driver (which needs to be fixed
   seperately).

Add a 'goldfish' command line option to make the registration opt-in when
the platform is compiled in.

I'm seriously grumpy about this engineering trainwreck, which has seven
SOBs from Intel developers for 50 lines of code. And none of them figured
out that this is broken. Impressive fail!

videodev2.h: go back to limited range Y'CbCr for SRGB and, ADOBERGB

2017-02-23T16:44:37+00:00

commit 35879ee4769099905fa3bda0b21e73d434e2df6a upstream.

This reverts 'commit 7e0739cd9c40 ("[media] videodev2.h: fix
sYCC/AdobeYCC default quantization range").

The problem is that many drivers can convert R'G'B' content (often
from sensors) to Y'CbCr, but they all produce limited range Y'CbCr.

To stay backwards compatible the default quantization range for
sRGB and AdobeRGB Y'CbCr encoding should be limited range, not full
range, even though the corresponding standards specify full range.

Update the V4L2_MAP_QUANTIZATION_DEFAULT define accordingly and
also update the documentation.

swiotlb: Add swiotlb=noforce debug option

2017-01-26T07:24:44+00:00

commit fff5d99225107f5f13fe4a9805adc2a1c4b5fb00 upstream.

On architectures like arm64, swiotlb is tied intimately to the core
architecture DMA support. In addition, ZONE_DMA cannot be disabled.

To aid debugging and catch devices not supporting DMA to memory outside
the 32-bit address space, add a kernel command line option
"swiotlb=noforce", which disables the use of bounce buffers.
If specified, trying to map memory that cannot be used with DMA will
fail, and a rate-limited warning will be printed.

Note that io_tlb_nslabs is set to 1, which is the minimal supported
value.

docs-rst: fix LaTeX \DURole renewcommand with Sphinx 1.3+

2017-01-12T10:39:32+00:00

commit e2a91f4f42018994d7424d405900d17eba6555d0 upstream.

PDF build on Kernel 4.9-rc? returns an error with Sphinx 1.3.x
and Sphinx 1.4.x, when trying to solve some cross-references.

The solution is to redefine the \DURole macro.

However, this is redefined too late. Move such redefinition to
LaTeX preamble and bind it to just the Sphinx versions where the
error is known to be present.

Tested by building the documentation on interactive mode:
	make PDFLATEX=xelatex -C Documentation/output/./latex

KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Save/restore XER in checkpointed register state

2017-01-09T07:32:22+00:00

commit 0d808df06a44200f52262b6eb72bcb6042f5a7c5 upstream.

When switching from/to a guest that has a transaction in progress,
we need to save/restore the checkpointed register state.  Although
XER is part of the CPU state that gets checkpointed, the code that
does this saving and restoring doesn't save/restore XER.

This fixes it by saving and restoring the XER.  To allow userspace
to read/write the checkpointed XER value, we also add a new ONE_REG
specifier.

The visible effect of this bug is that the guest may see its XER
value being corrupted when it uses transactions.

docs: sphinx-extensions: make rstFlatTable work with docutils 0.13

commit 217e2bfab22e740227df09f22165e834cddd8a3b upstream.

In docutils 0.13, the return type of get_column_widths method of the
Table directive has changed [1], which breaks our flat-table directive
and leads to a TypeError when trying to build the docs [2].

This patch adds support for the new return type, while keeping support
for older docutils versions too.

Netfilter fixes for net

This is a large batch of Netfilter fixes for net, they are:

1) Three patches to fix NAT conversion to rhashtable: Switch to rhlist
   structure that allows to have several objects with the same key.
   Moreover, fix wrong comparison logic in nf_nat_bysource_cmp() as this is
   expecting a return value similar to memcmp(). Change location of
   the nat_bysource field in the nf_conn structure to avoid zeroing
   this as it breaks interaction with SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU and lead us
   to crashes. From Florian Westphal.

2) Don't allow malformed fragments go through in IPv6, drop them,
   otherwise we hit GPF, patch from Florian Westphal.

3) Fix crash if attributes are missing in nft_range, from Liping Zhang.

4) Fix arptables 32-bits userspace 64-bits kernel compat, from Hongxu Jia.

5) Two patches from David Ahern to fix netfilter interaction with vrf.
   From David Ahern.

6) Fix element timeout calculation in nf_tables, we take milliseconds
   from userspace, but we use jiffies from kernelspace. Patch from
   Anders K.  Pedersen.

7) Missing validation length netlink attribute for nft_hash, from
   Laura Garcia.

8) Fix nf_conntrack_helper documentation, we don't default to off
   anymore for a bit of time so let's get this in sync with the code.

I know is late but I think these are important, specifically the NAT
bits, as they are mostly addressing fallout from recent changes. I also
read there are chances to have -rc8, if that is the case, that would
also give us a bit more time to test this.

Documentation: devicetree: clarify usage of the RGMII phy-modes

2016-11-28T17:06:54+00:00

RGMII requires special RX and/or TX delays depending on the actual
hardware circuit/wiring. These delays can be added by the MAC, the PHY
or the designer of the circuit (the latter means that no delay has to
be added by PHY or MAC).
There are 4 RGMII phy-modes used describe where a delay should be
applied:
- rgmii: the RX and TX delays are either added by the MAC (where the
  exact delay is typically configurable, and can be turned off when no
  extra delay is needed) or not needed at all (because the hardware
  wiring adds the delay already). The PHY should neither add the RX nor
  TX delay in this case.
- rgmii-rxid: configures the PHY to enable the RX delay. The MAC should
  not add the RX delay in this case.
- rgmii-txid: configures the PHY to enable the TX delay. The MAC should
  not add the TX delay in this case.
- rgmii-id: combines rgmii-rxid and rgmii-txid and thus configures the
  PHY to enable the RX and TX delays. The MAC should neither add the RX
  nor TX delay in this case.

Document these cases in the ethernet.txt documentation to make it clear
when to use each mode.
If applied incorrectly one might end up with MAC and PHY both enabling
for example the TX delay, which breaks ethernet TX traffic on 1000Mbit/s
links.
