Hans de Goede 26c22d63a7 dell-laptop: Wait less long before updating rfkill after an rfkill keypress
Some time is needed for the BIOS to do its work, but 250ms should be plenty.

Hans de Goede ed1128989a dell-laptop: Do not skip setting blocked bit rfkill_set while hw-blocked
Instead when hw-blocked always write 1 to the blocked bit for the radio in
question. This is necessary to properly set all the blocked bits for hw-switch
controlled radios to 1 after power-on and resume.

Hans de Goede 04c9a3a06c dell-laptop: Sync current block state to BIOS on hw switch change
This is necessary for 3 reasons:
1) To apply sw_state changes made while hw-blocked
2) To set all the blocked bits for hw-switch controlled radios to 1 when the
   switch gets changed to off, this is necessary on some models to actually
   turn the radio status LEDs off.
3) On some models non hw-switch controlled radios will have their block bit
   cleared (potentially undoing a soft-block) on hw-switch toggle, this
   restores the sw-block in this case.

Hans de Goede 3f56588a79 dell-laptop: Don't read-back sw_state on machines with a hardware switch
On machines with a hardware switch, the blocking settings can not be changed
through a Fn + wireless-key combo, so there is no reason to read back the
blocking state from the BIOS.

Reading back is not only not necessary it is actually harmful, since on some
machines the blocking state will be cleared to all 0 after a wireless switch
toggle, even for radios not controlled by the hw-switch (yeah firmware bugs).

This causes "magic" changes to the sw_state. This is inconsistent with other
rfkill drivers which preserve the sw_state over a hw kill on / off.

Hans de Goede 33f9359abb dell-laptop: Don't set sw_state from the query callback
The query callback should only update the hw_state, see the comment in
net/rfkill/core.c in rfkill_set_block, which is its only caller.

rfkill_set_block will modify the sw_state directly after calling query so
calling set_sw_state is an expensive NOP.

Hans de Goede 2a92551845 dell-laptop: Only enable rfkill on Latitudes
The rfkill functionality was removed from the dell-laptop driver because it
was causing problems on various non Latitude models, and the blacklist kept
growing and growing. In the thread discussing this Dell mentioned that they
only QA the rfkill acpi interface on Latitudes and indeed there have been
no blacklist entries for Latitudes.

Note that the blacklist contained no Vostros either, and most Vostros have
a hardware switch too, so we could consider supporting Vostros with a
hardware switch too.

Hans de Goede 4cc8a57425 Revert "dell-laptop: Remove rfkill code"
Without rfkill functionality in dell-laptop I have the following problems:
-If the hardware radio switch is set to disable the radio, then userspace
 will still think it can use wireless and bluetooth.
-The wwan / 3g modem cannot be soft blocked without the dell-laptop rfkill
 functionality

I know the rfkill functionality was removed from the dell-laptop driver because
it caused more problems then it fixed, and the blacklist for it was growing out
of control.

But in the thread discussing this Dell mentioned that they only QA the rfkill
acpi interface on Latitudes and indeed there have been no blacklist entries
for Latitudes. Therefor I would like to bring the rfkill functionality back
only for Latitudes. This patch is a straight-forward revert. The next patch
in this set will drop the blacklist and replace it with a Latitude check.

This reverts commit a6c2390cd6.

Michael Neuling c13f20ac48 powerpc/signals: Mark VSX not saved with small contexts
The VSX MSR bit in the user context indicates if the context contains VSX
state.  Currently we set this when the process has touched VSX at any stage.

Unfortunately, if the user has not provided enough space to save the VSX state,
we can't save it but we currently still set the MSR VSX bit.

This patch changes this to clear the MSR VSX bit when the user doesn't provide
enough space.  This indicates that there is no valid VSX state in the user
context.

This is needed to support get/set/make/swapcontext for applications that use
VSX but only provide a small context.  For example, getcontext in glibc
provides a smaller context since the VSX registers don't need to be saved over
the glibc function call.  But since the program calling getcontext may have
used VSX, the kernel currently says the VSX state is valid when it's not.  If
the returned context is then used in setcontext (ie. a small context without
VSX but with MSR VSX set), the kernel will refuse the context.  This situation
has been reported by the glibc community.

Based on patch from Carlos O'Donell.

Michael Ellerman 3eb906c6b6 powerpc: Make cpu_to_chip_id() available when SMP=n
Up until now we have only used cpu_to_chip_id() in the topology code,
which is only used on SMP builds. However my recent commit a4da0d5
"Implement arch_get_random_long/int() for powernv" added a usage when
SMP=n, breaking the build.

Move cpu_to_chip_id() into prom.c so it is available for SMP=n builds.

We would move the extern to prom.h, but that breaks the include in
topology.h. Instead we leave it in smp.h, but move it out of the
CONFIG_SMP #ifdef. We also need to include asm/smp.h in rng.c, because
the linux version skips asm/smp.h on UP. What a mess.

Li Zhong c610260928 powerpc/vio: Fix a dma_mask issue of vio
I encountered following issue:
[    0.283035] ibmvscsi 30000015: couldn't initialize event pool
[    5.688822] ibmvscsi: probe of 30000015 failed with error -1

which prevents the storage from being recognized, and the machine from
booting.

After some digging, it seems that it is caused by commit 4886c399da

as dma_mask pointer in viodev->dev is not set, so in
dma_set_mask_and_coherent(), dma_set_coherent_mask() is not called
because dma_set_mask(), which is dma_set_mask_pSeriesLP() returned EIO.
While before the commit, dma_set_coherent_mask() is always called.

I tried to replace dma_set_mask_and_coherent() with
dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent(), and the machine could boot again.

Anton Blanchard 5a049f1490 powerpc: ppc64 address space capped at 32TB, mmap randomisation disabled
Commit fba2369e6c (mm: use vm_unmapped_area() on powerpc architecture)
has a bug in slice_scan_available() where we compare an unsigned long
(high_slices) against a shifted int. As a result, comparisons against
the top 32 bits of high_slices (representing the top 32TB) always
returns 0 and the top of our mmap region is clamped at 32TB

This also breaks mmap randomisation since the randomised address is
always up near the top of the address space and it gets clamped down
to 32TB.

The problem is in scan_dispatch_log() where we call dtl_consumer()
but bail out before incrementing the index.

To fix this I moved dtl_consumer() after the timebase comparison.

Pull powerpc LE updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
 "With my previous pull request I mentioned some remaining Little Endian

  The toolchain folks confirmed it now, the new ABI is stable and merged

  fixes.

  I have more fixes but not related to LE so I'll send them as a
  separate pull request tomorrow, let's get this one out of the way.

  Note that this supports running user space binaries using the new ABI,
  but the kernel itself still needs to be built with the old one.  We'll
  bring fixes for that after -rc1.

  Here's Anton log that goes with this series:

     This patch series adds support for the new ABI, LPAR support for
     H_SET_MODE and finally adds a kconfig option and defconfig.

     ABIv2 support was recently committed to binutils and gcc, and should
     be merged into glibc soon.  There are a number of very nice
     improvements including the removal of function descriptors.  Rusty's
     kernel patches allow binaries of either ABI to work, easing the

Yinghai Lu e7cc5cf745 PCI: Remove duplicate pci_disable_device() from pcie_portdrv_remove()
The pcie_portdrv .probe() method calls pci_enable_device() once, in
pcie_port_device_register(), but the .remove() method calls
pci_disable_device() twice, in pcie_port_device_remove() and in
pcie_portdrv_remove().

That causes a "disabling already-disabled device" warning when removing a
PCIe port device.  This happens all the time when removing Thunderbolt
devices, but is also easy to reproduce with, e.g.,
"echo 0000:00:1c.3 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pcieport/unbind"

This patch removes the disable from pcie_portdrv_remove().

Linus Torvalds 8b2e9b712f Revert "mm: create a separate slab for page->ptl allocation"
This reverts commit ea1e7ed337.

Al points out that while the commit *does* actually create a separate
slab for the page->ptl allocation, that slab is never actually used, and
the code continues to use kmalloc/kfree.

Damien Wyart points out that the original patch did have the conversion
to use kmem_cache_alloc/free, so it got lost somewhere on its way to me.

Revert the half-arsed attempt that didn't do anything.  If we really do
want the special slab (remember: this is all relevant just for debug
builds, so it's not necessarily all that critical) we might as well redo
the patch fully.

Ulrich Weigand 280270828f powerpc: Wrong DWARF CFI in the kernel vdso for little-endian / ELFv2
I've finally tracked down why my CR signal-unwind test case still
fails on little-endian.  The problem turned to be that the kernel
installs a signal trampoline in the vDSO, and provides a DWARF CFI
record for that trampoline.  This CFI describes the save location
for CR:

  rsave (70, 38*RSIZE + (RSIZE - CRSIZE))

which is correct for big-endian, but points to the wrong word on
little-endian.   This is wrong no matter which ABI.

In addition, for the ELFv2 ABI, we should not only provide a CFI
record for register 70 (cr2), but for all CR fields separately.
Strictly speaking, I guess this would mean providing two separate
vDSO images, one for ELFv1 processes and one for ELFv2 processes (or
maybe playing some tricks with conditional DWARF expressions).
However, having CFI records for the other CR fields in ELFv1 is not
actually wrong, they just will be ignored.   So it seems the simplest
fix would be just to always provide CFI for all the fields.

--------------------------- cut here -------------------------------

The reason is that when the bridge dev's address is changed, the
br_fdb_change_mac_address() will add new address in fdb, but when
the bridge was removed, the address entry in the fdb did not free,
the bridge_fdb_cache still has objects when destroy the cache, Fix
this by flushing the bridge address entry when removing the bridge.

v2: according to the Toshiaki Makita and Vlad's suggestion, I only
    delete the vlan0 entry, it still have a leak here if the vlan id
    is other number, so I need to call fdb_delete_by_port(br, NULL, 1)
    to flush all entries whose dst is NULL for the bridge.

Vlad Yasevich d2615bf450 net: core: Always propagate flag changes to interfaces
The following commit:
    b6c40d68ff
    net: only invoke dev->change_rx_flags when device is UP

tried to fix a problem with VLAN devices and promiscuouse flag setting.
The issue was that VLAN device was setting a flag on an interface that
was down, thus resulting in bad promiscuity count.
This commit blocked flag propagation to any device that is currently
down.

A later commit:
    deede2fabe
    vlan: Don't propagate flag changes on down interfaces

fixed VLAN code to only propagate flags when the VLAN interface is up,
thus fixing the same issue as above, only localized to VLAN.

The problem we have now is that if we have create a complex stack
involving multiple software devices like bridges, bonds, and vlans,
then it is possible that the flags would not propagate properly to
the physical devices.  A simple examle of the scenario is the
following:

  eth0----> bond0 ----> bridge0 ---> vlan50

If bond0 or eth0 happen to be down at the time bond0 is added to
the bridge, then eth0 will never have promisc mode set which is
currently required for operation as part of the bridge.  As a
result, packets with vlan50 will be dropped by the interface.

The only 2 devices that implement the special flag handling are
VLAN and DSA and they both have required code to prevent incorrect
flag propagation.  As a result we can remove the generic solution
introduced in b6c40d68ff and leave
it to the individual devices to decide whether they will block
flag propagation or not.
