This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
        L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
        for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\&lt;POLL$V\&gt;\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the set of "big" driver core patches for 4.16-rc1.

  The majority of the work here is in the firmware subsystem, with
  reworks to try to attempt to make the code easier to handle in the
  long run, but no functional change. There's also some tree-wide sysfs
  attribute fixups with lots of acks from the various subsystem
  maintainers, as well as a handful of other normal fixes and changes.

  And finally, some license cleanups for the driver core and sysfs code.

  All have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues"

Pull poll annotations from Al Viro:
 "This introduces a __bitwise type for POLL### bitmap, and propagates
  the annotations through the tree. Most of that stuff is as simple as
  'make -&gt;poll() instances return __poll_t and do the same to local
  variables used to hold the future return value'.

  Some of the obvious brainos found in process are fixed (e.g. POLLIN
  misspelled as POLL_IN). At that point the amount of sparse warnings is
  low and most of them are for genuine bugs - e.g. -&gt;poll() instance
  deciding to return -EINVAL instead of a bitmap. I hadn't touched those
  in this series - it's large enough as it is.

  Another problem it has caught was eventpoll() ABI mess; select.c and
  eventpoll.c assumed that corresponding POLL### and EPOLL### were
  equal. That's true for some, but not all of them - EPOLL### are
  arch-independent, but POLL### are not.

  The last commit in this series separates userland POLL### values from
  the (now arch-independent) kernel-side ones, converting between them
  in the few places where they are copied to/from userland. AFAICS, this
  is the least disruptive fix preserving poll(2) ABI and making epoll()
  work on all architectures.

  As it is, it's simply broken on sparc - try to give it EPOLLWRNORM and
  it will trigger only on what would've triggered EPOLLWRBAND on other
  architectures. EPOLLWRBAND and EPOLLRDHUP, OTOH, are never triggered
  at all on sparc. With this patch they should work consistently on all
  architectures"

This is because when the device is released in
platform_device_release(), we try to free
pdev.driver_override. This is a const string, hence
the crash.
Fix by using dynamic memory for pdev-&gt;driver_override.

[Removed the free of driver_override from ipmi_si_remove_by_dev().  The
 free is done in platform_device_release(), and would result in a double
 free, and ipmi_si_remove_by_dev() is called by non-platform devices.]

Since the IPMI core now queries device IDs dynamically, we no longer
need this todo for implementing this in the powernv driver.

<title>ipmi: Clear smi_info-&gt;thread to prevent use-after-free during module unload</title>

<id>bd1c06a4f5e2b2c96b9ff09a13983efb2d013b18</id>
<content type='text'>
During code inspection, I found an use-after-free possibility during unloading
ipmi_si in the polling mode.

If start_new_msg() is called after kthread_stop(), the function will try to
wake up non-existing kthread using the dangling pointer.

Possible scenario is when a new internal message is generated after
ipmi_unregister_smi()[*1] and remains after stop_timer_and_thread()
in clenaup_one_si() [*2].
Use-after-free could occur as follows depending on BMC replies.

  cleanup_one_si
    =&gt; ipmi_unregister_smi
       [*1]
    =&gt; stop_timer_and_thread
       =&gt; kthread_stop(smi_info-&gt;thread)
       [*2]
    =&gt; poll
       =&gt; smi_event_handler
          =&gt; start_new_msg
             =&gt; if (smi_info-&gt;thread)
                    wake_up_process(smi_info-&gt;thread) &lt;== use-after-free!!

Although currently it seems no such message is generated in the polling mode,
some changes might introduce that in thefuture. For example in the interrupt
mode, disable_si_irq() does that at [*2].

So let's prevent such a critical issue possibility now.
