When something goes wrong in the GPU init after the cmdbuf suballocator
has been constructed, we fail to destroy it properly. This causes havok
later when the GPU is unbound due to a module unload or similar.

There are a couple of left shifts of unsigned 8 bit values that
first get promoted to signed ints and hence get sign extended
on the shift if the top bit of the 8 bit values are set. Fix
this by casting the 8 bit values to unsigned ints to stop the
unintentional sign extension.

Pull pidfd fixes from Christian Brauner:
"Userspace tools and libraries such as strace or glibc need a cheap and
reliable way to tell whether CLONE_PIDFD is supported. The easiest way
is to pass an invalid fd value in the return argument, perform the
syscall and verify the value in the return argument has been changed
to a valid fd.
However, if CLONE_PIDFD is specified we currently check if pidfd == 0
and return EINVAL if not.
The check for pidfd == 0 was originally added to enable us to abuse
the return argument for passing additional flags along with
CLONE_PIDFD in the future.
However, extending legacy clone this way would be a terrible idea and
with clone3 on the horizon and the ability to reuse CLONE_DETACHED
with CLONE_PIDFD there's no real need for this clutch. So remove the
pidfd == 0 check and help userspace out.
Also, accordig to Al, anon_inode_getfd() should only be used past the
point of no failure and ksys_close() should not be used at all since
it is far too easy to get wrong. Al's motto being "basically, once
it's in descriptor table, it's out of your control". So Al's patch
switches back to what we already had in v1 of the original patchset
and uses a anon_inode_getfile() + put_user() + fd_install() sequence
in the success path and a fput() + put_unused_fd() in the failure
path.
The other two changes should be trivial"

Pull AFS fixes from David Howells:
"The in-kernel AFS client has been undergoing testing on opendev.org on
one of their mirror machines. They are using AFS to hold data that is
then served via apache, and Ian Wienand had reported seeing oopses,
spontaneous machine reboots and updates to volumes going missing. This
patch series appears to have fixed the problem, very probably due to
patch (2), but it's not 100% certain.
(1) Fix the printing of the "vnode modified" warning to exclude checks
on files for which we don't have a callback promise from the
server (and so don't expect the server to tell us when it
changes).
Without this, for every file or directory for which we still have
an in-core inode that gets changed on the server, we may get a
message logged when we next look at it. This can happen in bulk
if, for instance, someone does "vos release" to update a R/O
volume from a R/W volume and a whole set of files are all changed
together.
We only really want to log a message if the file changed and the
server didn't tell us about it or we failed to track the state
internally.
(2) Fix accidental corruption of either afs_vlserver struct objects or
the the following memory locations (which could hold anything).
The issue is caused by a union that points to two different
structs in struct afs_call (to save space in the struct). The call
cleanup code assumes that it can simply call the cleanup for one
of those structs if not NULL - when it might be actually pointing
to the other struct.
This means that every Volume Location RPC op is going to corrupt
something.
(3) Fix an uninitialised spinlock. This isn't too bad, it just causes
a one-off warning if lockdep is enabled when "vos release" is
called, but the spinlock still behaves correctly.
(4) Fix the setting of i_block in the inode. This causes du, for
example, to produce incorrect results, but otherwise should not be
dangerous to the kernel"

The ORC unwinder can't unwind through BPF JIT generated code because
there are no ORC entries associated with the code.
If an ORC entry isn't available, try to fall back to frame pointers. If
BPF and other generated code always do frame pointer setup (even with
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS=n) then this will allow ORC to unwind through most
generated code despite there being no corresponding ORC entries.

The stacktrace_map_raw_tp BPF selftest is failing because the RIP saved by
perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs() isn't getting saved by perf_callchain_kernel().
This was broken by the following commit:
d15d356887 ("perf/x86: Make perf callchains work without CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER")
With that change, when starting with non-HW regs, the unwinder starts
with the current stack frame and unwinds until it passes up the frame
which called perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs(). So regs->ip needs to be
saved deliberately.

ACPI 6.3 adds a flag to indicate that child nodes are all
identical cores. This is useful to authoritatively determine
if a set of (possibly offline) cores are identical or not.
Since the flag doesn't give us a unique id we can generate
one and use it to create bitmaps of sibling nodes, or simply
in a loop to determine if a subset of cores are identical.

The ACPI specification implies that the IDENTICAL flag should be
set on all non leaf nodes where the children are identical.
This means that we need to be searching for the last node with
the identical flag set rather than the first one.
Since this flag is also dependent on the table revision, we
need to add a bit of extra code to verify the table revision,
and the next node's state in the traversal. Since we want to
avoid function pointers here, lets just special case
the IDENTICAL flag.

During suspend/resume, mtk_eint_mask may be called while
wake_mask is active. For example, this happens if a wake-source
with an active interrupt handler wakes the system:
irq/pm.c:irq_pm_check_wakeup would disable the interrupt, so
that it can be handled later on in the resume flow.
However, this may happen before mtk_eint_do_resume is called:
in this case, wake_mask is loaded, and cur_mask is restored
from an older copy, re-enabling the interrupt, and causing
an interrupt storm (especially for level interrupts).
Step by step, for a line that has both wake and interrupt enabled:
1. cur_mask[irq] = 1; wake_mask[irq] = 1; EINT_EN[irq] = 1 (interrupt
enabled at hardware level)
2. System suspends, resumes due to that line (at this stage EINT_EN
== wake_mask)
3. irq_pm_check_wakeup is called, and disables the interrupt =>
EINT_EN[irq] = 0, but we still have cur_mask[irq] = 1
4. mtk_eint_do_resume is called, and restores EINT_EN = cur_mask, so
it reenables EINT_EN[irq] = 1 => interrupt storm as the driver
is not yet ready to handle the interrupt.
This patch fixes the issue in step 3, by recording all mask/unmask
changes in cur_mask. This also avoids the need to read the current
mask in eint_do_suspend, and we can remove mtk_eint_chip_read_mask
function.
The interrupt will be re-enabled properly later on, sometimes after
mtk_eint_do_resume, when the driver is ready to handle it.

When an application is run that:
a) Sets its scheduler to be SCHED_FIFO
and
b) Opens a memory mapped AF_PACKET socket, and sends frames with the
MSG_DONTWAIT flag cleared, its possible for the application to hang
forever in the kernel. This occurs because when waiting, the code in
tpacket_snd calls schedule, which under normal circumstances allows
other tasks to run, including ksoftirqd, which in some cases is
responsible for freeing the transmitted skb (which in AF_PACKET calls a
destructor that flips the status bit of the transmitted frame back to
available, allowing the transmitting task to complete).
However, when the calling application is SCHED_FIFO, its priority is
such that the schedule call immediately places the task back on the cpu,
preventing ksoftirqd from freeing the skb, which in turn prevents the
transmitting task from detecting that the transmission is complete.
We can fix this by converting the schedule call to a completion
mechanism. By using a completion queue, we force the calling task, when
it detects there are no more frames to send, to schedule itself off the
cpu until such time as the last transmitted skb is freed, allowing
forward progress to be made.
Tested by myself and the reporter, with good results
Change Notes:
V1->V2:
Enhance the sleep logic to support being interruptible and
allowing for honoring to SK_SNDTIMEO (Willem de Bruijn)
V2->V3:
Rearrage the point at which we wait for the completion queue, to
avoid needing to check for ph/skb being null at the end of the loop.
Also move the complete call to the skb destructor to avoid needing to
modify __packet_set_status. Also gate calling complete on
packet_read_pending returning zero to avoid multiple calls to complete.
(Willem de Bruijn)
Move timeo computation within loop, to re-fetch the socket
timeout since we also use the timeo variable to record the return code
from the wait_for_complete call (Neil Horman)
V3->V4:
Willem has requested that the control flow be restored to the
previous state. Doing so lets us eliminate the need for the
po->wait_on_complete flag variable, and lets us get rid of the
packet_next_frame function, but introduces another complexity.
Specifically, but using the packet pending count, we can, if an
applications calls sendmsg multiple times with MSG_DONTWAIT set, each
set of transmitted frames, when complete, will cause
tpacket_destruct_skb to issue a complete call, for which there will
never be a wait_on_completion call. This imbalance will lead to any
future call to wait_for_completion here to return early, when the frames
they sent may not have completed. To correct this, we need to re-init
the completion queue on every call to tpacket_snd before we enter the
loop so as to ensure we wait properly for the frames we send in this
iteration.
Change the timeout and interrupted gotos to out_put rather than
out_status so that we don't try to free a non-existant skb

There are platforms that do not call pm_set_suspend_via_firmware(),
so pm_suspend_via_firmware() returns 'false' on them, but the power
states of PCI devices (PCIe ports in particular) are changed as a
result of powering down core platform components during system-wide
suspend. Thus the pm_suspend_via_firmware() checks in
pci_pm_suspend_noirq() and pci_pm_resume_noirq() introduced by
commit 3e26c5feed ("PCI: PM: Skip devices in D0 for suspend-to-
idle") are not sufficient to determine that devices left in D0
during suspend will remain in D0 during resume and so the bus-level
power management can be skipped for them.
For this reason, introduce a new global suspend flag,
PM_SUSPEND_FLAG_NO_PLATFORM, set it for suspend-to-idle only
and replace the pm_suspend_via_firmware() checks mentioned above
with checks against this flag.

ipv6: fix neighbour resolution with raw socket

====================

The scenario is the following: the user uses a raw socket to send an ipv6
packet, destinated to a not-connected network, and specify a connected nh.
Here is the corresponding python script to reproduce this scenario:
import socket
IPPROTO_RAW = 255
send_s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET6, socket.SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_RAW)
# scapy
# p = IPv6(src='fd00💯:1', dst='fd00:200::fa')/ICMPv6EchoRequest()
# str(p)
req = b'`\x00\x00\x00\x00\x08:@\xfd\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x01\xfd\x00\x02\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xfa\x80\x00\x81\xc0\x00\x00\x00\x00'
send_s.sendto(req, ('fd00:175::2', 0, 0, 0))
fd00:175::/64 is a connected route and fd00:200::fa is not a connected
host.
With this scenario, the kernel starts by sending a NS to resolve
fd00:175::2. When it receives the NA, it flushes its queue and try to send
the initial packet. But instead of sending it, it sends another NS to
resolve fd00:200::fa, which obvioulsy fails, thus the packet is dropped. If
the user sends again the packet, it now uses the right nh (fd00:175::2).
The problem is that ip6_dst_lookup_neigh() uses the rt6i_gateway, which is
:: because the associated route is a connected route, thus it uses the dst
addr of the packet. Let's use rt6_nexthop() to choose the right nh.

The bits set in x86_spec_ctrl_mask are used to calculate the guest's value
of SPEC_CTRL that is written to the MSR before VMENTRY, and control which
mitigations the guest can enable. In the case of SSBD, unless the host has
enabled SSBD always on mode (by passing "spec_store_bypass_disable=on" in
the kernel parameters), the SSBD bit is not set in the mask and the guest
can not properly enable the SSBD always on mitigation mode.
This has been confirmed by running the SSBD PoC on a guest using the SSBD
always on mitigation mode (booted with kernel parameter
"spec_store_bypass_disable=on"), and verifying that the guest is vulnerable
unless the host is also using SSBD always on mode. In addition, the guest
OS incorrectly reports the SSB vulnerability as mitigated.
Always set the SSBD bit in x86_spec_ctrl_mask when the host CPU supports
it, allowing the guest to use SSBD whether or not the host has chosen to
enable the mitigation in any of its modes.

Before suspending, mtk-eint would set the interrupt mask to the
one in wake_mask. However, some of these interrupts may not have a
corresponding interrupt handler, or the interrupt may be disabled.
On resume, the eint irq handler would trigger nevertheless,
and irq/pm.c:irq_pm_check_wakeup would be called, which would
try to call irq_disable. However, if the interrupt is not enabled
(irqd_irq_disabled(&desc->irq_data) is true), the call does nothing,
and the interrupt is left enabled in the eint driver.
Especially for level-sensitive interrupts, this will lead to an
interrupt storm on resume.
If we detect that an interrupt is only in wake_mask, but not in
cur_mask, we can just mask it out immediately (as mtk_eint_resume
would do anyway at a later stage in the resume sequence, when
restoring cur_mask).

The decoder is flawed in the following ways:
- The decoder sometimes fails silently, i.e. it announces success but
returns a word that is not a codeword.
- The return value of the decoder is incoherent with respect to how
fixed erasures are counted. If the word to be decoded is a codeword,
then the decoder always returns zero even if some erasures are given.
On the other hand, if the word to be decoded contains errors, then the
number of erasures is always included in the count of corrected
symbols. So the decoder handles erasures without symbol corruption
inconsistently. This inconsistency probably doesn't affect anyone
using the decoder, but it is inconsistent with the documentation.
- The error positions returned in eras_pos include all erasures, but the
corrections are only set in the correction buffer if there actually is
a symbol error. So if there are erasures without symbol corruption,
then the correction buffer will contain errors (unless initialized to
zero before calling the decoder) or some values will be unset (if the
correction buffer is uninitialized).
- When correcting data in-place the decoder does not correct errors in
the parity. On the other hand, when returning the errors in correction
buffers, errors in the parity are included.
The respective fixed are:
- The syndrome of a codeword is always zero, and the syndrome is linear,
.i.e, S(x+e) = S(x) + S(e). So compute the syndrome for the error and
check whether it equals the syndrome of the received word. If it does,
then we have decoded to a valid codeword, otherwise we know that we
have an uncorrectable error. Fortunately, some unrecoverable error
conditions can be detected earlier in the decoding, which saves some
processing power.
- Simply count and return the number of symbols actually corrected.
- Make sure to only return positions where symbols were corrected.
- Also fix errors in parity when correcting in-place. Another option
would be to completely disregard errors in the parity, but then the
interface makes it impossible to write tests that test for silent
failures.
Other changes:
- Only fill the correction buffer and error position buffer if both of
them are provided. Otherwise correct in place. Previously the error
position buffer was always populated with the positions of the
corrected errors, irrespective of whether a correction buffer was
supplied or not. The rationale for this change is that there seems to
be two use cases for the decoder; correct in-place or use the
correction buffers. The caller does not need the positions of the
corrected errors when in-place correction is used. If in-place
correction is not used, then both the correction buffer and error
position buffer need to be populated.
